Soul Land IV (Douluo Dalu) : Ultimate Fighting

Chapter 1364: Chapter 1364: Destruction Sword Beam

The Eight-Armed Demon Gods despised the human appearance; they only admired powerful bloodlines.

The moment the kilometer-long massive sword radiance appeared, even the two Dragon Knights on the main ceremonial platform couldn’t help but change their expressions. Their bodies instinctively flinched.

And just at this moment, a towering figure strode onto the main platform once more, passing right in front of them.

The Eight-Armed Demon God King had returned!

Coming back neither too early nor too late, right at the most critical point of the battle—who would believe this wasn’t premeditated?

Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang and Holy Light Dragon Knight Huang Liangwei both had solemn expressions upon seeing this.

Though Bai Xiuxiu’s strength and talent couldn’t compare to Lan Xuanyu’s, as a high-level Dragon Clan entity with dual attributes and Lan’s mount dragon, her status and significance were equally paramount. If Bai Xiuxiu were to perish in battle, it might mean that Lan Xuanyu could never ascend to become a Dragon Knight, let alone an heir. Perhaps, that would let the Eight-Armed Demon God Clan succeed in their schemes.

Huang Liangwei instinctively glanced at Dawn Dragon Knight Zhong Zhichang, only to see him lightly shake his head.

Under the watchful eyes of all present, including the leader of the Sky Horse Clan and the Eight-Armed Demon God King, even if they wanted to intervene, it would be wholly impossible. Since this was Lan Xuanyu’s choice, “she” would have to bear the consequences.

When the God-Demon Transformation manifested, Lan Xuanyu’s eyes narrowed. He had the Golden Dragon Body, while Bai Xiuxiu had Abyss Swallowing. Both were powers that mirrored their opponent’s abilities. However, the destructive energy contained within the opponent’s God-Demon Transformation was fundamentally different. It annihilated all surrounding energy, converting it into nutrients for his destructive power, which was then unleashed in his subsequent attack. In other words, this strike would never end until its full force was exerted. Otherwise, his own body wouldn’t be able to endure such a massive amount of energy.

A resolute gleam flashed across Lan Xuanyu’s eyes. In the next instant, a startling scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.

A brilliant silver light suddenly exploded from Lan Xuanyu’s body. At that moment, the spectators witnessed the Golden Dragon Princess transform into the Silver Dragon Princess in the blink of an eye. Radiant silver light extended from “her” figure, enveloping Bai Xiuxiu’s form beneath her. Immediately after, Bai Xiuxiu’s massive Abyss Ice Demon Dragon body abruptly vanished.

Vanished, just like that—accomplishing teleportation within an environment suffused with destructive power.

The Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince’s gaze froze in shock. Teleported away? Despite the surrounding space being ravaged by his destructive power, she managed to complete the teleportation?

For an instant, doubt crept into his heart. Just as Lan Xuanyu had anticipated, the immense destructive energy absorbed during the God-Demon Transformation stretched his body’s tolerance to its limit. It had to be released outward imminently, making the attack inevitable.

But now, he faced a momentary dilemma: should he pursue the already teleported Bai Xiuxiu, who was likely behind him, or should he attack Lan Xuanyu, who remained before him?

If Lan Xuanyu had chosen to teleport away with Bai Xiuxiu, the attack’s trajectory, guided by his energy’s pull, would have inevitably shifted toward their teleportation destination. Yet Lan Xuanyu didn’t teleport away but stayed in place.

This fleeting hesitation caused a painful, explosive sensation in the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince’s chest. It was the consequence of failing to release the destructive energy in time. In agony, he immediately awoke from his momentary indecision—there could be no hesitation, the attack must be unleashed at once.

A fierce glint emanated from his eyes as he chose not to redirect his aim. Ultimately, his target remained Lan Xuanyu. He had to vanquish his strongest foe first. He believed that with the Golden Dragon Princess’s formidable physique, even if critically injured, she would survive; she wouldn’t perish at his hands.

The Destruction Sword clashed forward with overwhelming might in the blink of an eye, aimed straight at Lan Xuanyu!

A kilometer-long purple-gold sword radiance erupted, surpassing the terror of ordinary God Rank power. In that instant, the aura enveloped all spectators, drawing their gazes irresistibly toward the sword’s striking trajectory.

But just as the sword was about to descend, an astonishing observation rippled through the audience—a sudden pause in the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince’s movements.

Without explanation, he froze, precisely in the instant before the devastating sword light could fall.

It was then that everyone noticed—for the first time—the blood-soaked girl standing defiantly before the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince. Her pale, resolute face bore eyes that had somehow turned into a dazzling violet.

Spiritual Domain: Time Stop!

This was Lan Xuanyu’s sole Spiritual Domain, inherited from his father. It was a time-related Spiritual Domain.

Tang Wulin’s Golden Dragon Moon Song Spiritual Domain enabled Time Inverse Flow, whereas Lan Xuanyu’s manifested Time Stop. Which of these was more effective was hard to determine, as their impacts varied with the context.

Time Inverse Flow’s most terrifying aspect was its ability to “restore,” whereas Time Stop suspended all external existence.

Though they might seem similar, their nature was entirely distinct.

If Tang Wulin were present with Lan Xuanyu’s current level of strength, Time Inverse Flow might have barely any effect, or possibly not be usable at all. Lan Xuanyu’s current Spiritual Power was insufficient to reverse the trajectory of the Destruction Sword, restoring the sword radiance to its prior position.

However, Time Stop functioned differently—it didn’t halt the Destruction Sword itself but the one wielding it, the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince. With their cultivations and divine consciousness levels relatively close and Lan Xuanyu’s bloodline power surpassing his opponent’s, he succeeded in stopping the crown prince.

Even if it was only for a fraction of a second, it overturned the outcome entirely.

“Bang!” The Divine Demon Core in the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince’s chest abruptly erupted into a large violet-black glow. His massive God Demon Form began to fissure.

The immense destructive energy accumulated within him, compounded by his hesitation when Lan Xuanyu teleported Bai Xiuxiu away, had surged unchecked, pushing his body—and his unrefined God Demon Form—past its limits. This was not a body tempered by quenching but an unstable manifestation. The ensuing Time Stop exacerbated the situation—a momentary pause in his actions against the backdrop of an energy ready to explode.

As soon as the pause ended, the overwhelming destructive energy erupted uncontrollably within him.

But it wasn’t over yet. An icy aura swept over him, just as the destructive energy began to explode outward. The Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince’s body froze inexplicably once more.

From afar, the Abyss Ice Demon Dragon teleported behind him along with the boundless abyss that appeared in its wake. Hidden within the abyss, the massive dragon stared coldly at his God Demon Form’s towering figure with deep, chilling eyes. Immediately, his God Demon Form stagnated; even the air grew still. This was the Deep Blue Stare within Heavenly Demon Swallowing.

Deep Blue Stare followed Time Stop, delivering two moments of stillness to the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince.

Ordinarily, these wouldn’t amount to much—not even enough to grant Lan Xuanyu and Bai Xiuxiu ample time to retaliate. However, in the midst of executing the Destruction Sword radiance, they proved fatal.

The precariously unstable purple-gold radiance of the massive sword flickered wildly, while violent purple-black destructive energy erupted from his Divine Demon Core. Crackling and shattering sounds rang from his God Demon Form as its structure crumbled under the force of its own rampaging energy.

Still, the Eight-Armed Demon Crown Prince was a formidable adversary. Even under these circumstances, he persisted, finishing his attack.
