At this moment, Yang Podi gradually understood that he was indeed much stronger than Qian Daoliu. However, his opponent could rely on Angelic Divine Power and the power of the sun to barely hold his ground and even receive rapid replenishment.
If he used his second martial soul or exposed too much of his strength, it would exceed his planned strategy.
A fierce glint flashed in Yang Podi's eyes as his sixth soul ring lit up. This was his sixth soul skill: Golden Lion Roar Break. The blade of the Breaking Soul Spear emitted countless golden lights as a massive phantom of a golden lion king pounced toward Qian Daoliu. A powerful lion's roar accompanied the attack, as if it aimed to expel the Angelic Divine Power and the power of the sun from Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu was slightly shocked. He hadn't expected Yang Podi's sixth soul skill to be so powerful and possess such an effect.
In response, Qian Daoliu's sixth soul ring also shone brightly. Behind him, his enormous Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul let out a deafening roar. The roar carried infinite golden light, seemingly capable of shattering the entire world. This was his sixth soul skill under divine power's enhancement: Angelic Roar.
The Angelic Roar, which could shake one's very soul, clashed fiercely with the Golden Lion's Roar. Within ten thousand meters, spatial cracks echoed in the air. The sky transformed into a golden ocean, but within it lurked countless killing intents.
After this exchange, Yang Podi was pushed back several meters for the first time. However, Qian Daoliu fared far worse, retreating several hundred meters. A trace of blood even appeared at the corner of his mouth—his first time coughing up blood in this battle.
Qian Daoliu, though not entirely foolish, certainly did not have a good temper. His face twisted with boundless fury.
His seventh soul ring shone as he directly activated Martial Soul True Body. The massive Six-Winged Angel seemed to shed a layer of impurity, revealing an image of a holy woman brimming with boundless sacred power.
Under the augmentation of his Martial Soul True Body, Qian Daoliu's Angelic Domain seemed to undergo a metamorphosis. Its evolutionary force grew exponentially. In comparison, its previous state felt like nothing more than child's play.
As the Angelic Domain illuminated the surroundings, Yang Podi could sense his Killing God Domain being suppressed. A portion of his soul power was even being purified.
Yang Podi let out a loud laugh. "So this is the true Angelic Domain? What was that weak version earlier? But even so, it's nothing more than a basic amplification."
With a deafening roar, Yang Podi's blood-red domain underwent a rapid transformation, instantly turning into an endless crimson light filled with boundless killing intent, as if it could look down upon all living beings. This was Asura Domain, an extremely powerful divine-level domain that should not even exist in the Douluo Continent.
As his Asura Domain activated, Yang Podi simultaneously unleashed the true form of the Breaking Soul Spear. The sky trembled as a massive, blood-red figure towering hundreds of meters appeared, gripping a blood-red Breaking Soul Spear that radiated an incomparable penetrating force.
Yang Podi thrust his spear forward, aiming straight at Qian Daoliu's core, like a dragon charging into its prey.
Qian Daoliu was not one to back down. He immediately activated his eighth soul skill: Grand Angelic Guard. The enormous Six-Winged Angel expanded even further, raising both hands to block the incoming Breaking Soul Spear while its six massive wings completely enveloped Qian Daoliu.
In this intense clash between offense and defense, the Breaking Soul Spear was unable to pierce through Grand Angelic Guard.
However, Yang Podi's eyes turned fierce as he activated another eighth soul skill: Behemoth Earth Break.
The Breaking Soul Spear in his hand expanded countless times over, its power skyrocketing beyond limits. With one downward strike, the spear carried an unimaginable force, directly shattering the enormous Six-Winged Angel barrier around Qian Daoliu.
The arms and six wings of the Six-Winged Angel were completely pierced through. Even though Qian Daoliu desperately brandished his Angelic Sacred Sword to resist, he was ultimately unable to hold his ground. His left arm was pierced through, and his golden armor was now stained with blood.
But at that very moment, a boundless golden light surged forth from Douluo Hall, or more precisely, from the enormous Six-Winged Angel statue inside Douluo Hall.
Qian Daoliu was instantly bathed in divine radiance, and his wounds rapidly healed.
Yang Podi's face showed a trace of shock, but even more, it was filled with ruthlessness. The Breaking Soul Spear in his hand turned completely blood-red, emanating endless killing intent. He had infused the Asura Domain into the spear itself.
Then, he unleashed his fourth attack: Tiger Roar Breaks a Thousand Army. The blood-red Breaking Soul Spear shot forward at high speed, but instead of targeting Qian Daoliu's vital points, it aimed directly at his previous wound—and more importantly, the golden light emanating from Douluo Hall.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu's expression changed drastically. He immediately wielded the Angelic Sacred Sword, attempting to block or even cleave apart the incoming spear.
However, the Breaking Soul Spear was unstoppable. It had been preparing for this moment, focusing all its power on that golden light.
As the Breaking Soul Spear was blocked, its blade erupted with endless crimson light, colliding violently with the golden light.
The Asura Divine Power within the red light and the Angelic Divine Power within the golden light clashed fiercely, attempting to annihilate each other.
The Angelic Divine Power sought to purify the power of slaughter, while the Asura Divine Power aimed to corrode and sever the Angelic Divine Power.
In this struggle, the Asura Divine Power gradually gained the upper hand. It was clear that the Angelic Divine Power was like a rootless tree, ultimately unable to match Yang Podi's endless Asura Divine Power.
Yang Podi pressed his advantage relentlessly. His blood-red eyes shot out two beams of crimson light, which rapidly condensed into a spectral, blood-red Breaking Soul Spear.
This spear was both real and illusory, exuding a presence capable of piercing into one's very soul.
This was the seventh technique of the Breaking Soul Nine Forms: Annihilation.
As the spear flew forward, the entire world plunged into darkness.
Even with Qian Daoliu's immense strength, and despite him exhausting every possible method, he could do nothing against this strike.
Under this attack, Qian Daoliu's aura rapidly weakened.
Without the support of Angelic Divine Power, he had only the burning solar power in the sky left.
His arm, which had previously healed rapidly, now recovered at an agonizingly slow pace. A terrifying energy seemed to be preventing his wound from closing.
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but shake his head and said,
"Little friend, your strength has far exceeded my expectations. Next, I will unleash my final move. If I lose this strike, I will admit defeat of my own accord."
At this moment, Yang Podi's expression turned abnormally serious.
Qian Daoliu's final attack was bound to be earth-shattering, infused with the faith and Angelic Divine Power he had accumulated throughout his entire life.
On the Douluo Hall plaza, countless spectators had also become extremely solemn.
Qian Daoliu was, after all, the symbol of the Spirit Empire and the Grand Priest of the Angel God.
If even he were to be defeated in Spirit City, the consequences would be unimaginable.
