Douluo's self has a soul beast clone

When Li Chang'an released his martial soul, Sea Horse Douluo also released his martial soul almost simultaneously. In an instant, he was enveloped in a layer of strange gray-white armor, with a huge Sea Horse phantom appearing behind him, very similar to the statue on top of the Sea Horse Holy Pillar—two yellow, two purple, and five black, nine soul rings shining at the same time.

In the absence of a 100,000-year soul ring, this was already the best soul ring configuration. Moreover, as one of the guardians of the Sea God Seven Holy Pillars, Sea Horse Douluo's own strength was among the best even among the Title Douluos!

However, when compared to Li Chang'an's soul rings, his own inevitably paled in comparison. Therefore, when Sea Horse Douluo saw the eight soul rings on Li Chang'an's body that defied common sense, he was inevitably stunned for a moment.

And being distracted at the very beginning of a battle was undoubtedly a significant mistake.

Li Chang'an naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, his eyes bursting with azure light! An ocean-blue light spread around him, instantly enveloping the entire Sea Horse Holy Pillar platform area, activating the Vast Sea Domain!

Sea Horse Douluo felt a stagnation throughout his body, and even his breathing became heavy! As if he were in the deep sea at this moment, the pressure from the depths of the seabed surrounded him, making him feel a little suffocated!

He used his domain right from the start.

Due to carelessness, Sea Horse Douluo was almost immediately at a disadvantage from the moment the fight began.

However, the battle-hardened veteran didn't panic in the slightest due to the suppression of the domain. He shook himself and revealed his martial soul true form.

Li Chang'an's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. The opponent's martial soul true form was indeed quite unique.

Sea Horse Douluo's body instantly merged with the white bone armor on his body, transforming into a huge sea horse over three meters long.

Immediately afterward, this huge sea horse shook, and a strange ripple was released from his body. At the same time, his sixth soul ring lit up.

This ripple was light blue, covering a five-meter radius around his body, forcibly forcing the seawater phenomenon of the Vast Sea Domain out. Although it couldn't break the domain, it minimized the domain's impact on him.

"As expected of a Holy Pillar Guardian, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. But do you think my domain is only this strong?" With a thought from Li Chang'an, the Vast Sea Domain also strengthened with his will! The phenomenon, like the deep sea, became even thicker and deeper!

It actually squeezed his ripples, causing them to shrink continuously, and at the same time, the terrifying deep-sea pressure struck again!

If he weren't in the martial soul true form state, Sea Horse Douluo's face would probably be flushed red. He knew he couldn't continue to sit still and wait for death. So, he barely mustered his soul power and threw a simple and unadorned punch straight at Li Chang'an.

After transforming into a sea horse, his upper body had two short arms, which was different from the sea horse's original form. But it was this simple and unadorned punch that lit up his fifth soul ring.

A series of explosions rang out in the air, as if the air was under immense pressure. And within the sea in the sea behind Li Chang'an, a huge wave rose into the air, condensing into a huge fist shape in the air, heading straight for his back. It formed a pincer attack with Sea Horse Douluo's punch.

Sea Horse Douluo's attack was not as simple as it looked on the surface. It possessed a locking effect, preventing the opponent from even using instant transmission.

However, Li Chang'an had no intention of dodging. His divine trials during this period were not for nothing. If it were before, he would have chosen to use the defensive soul skill 'Impregnable Fortress' to withstand this attack head-on.

But now it was no longer necessary.

Li Chang'an stood there, neither dodging nor evading, and actually used his body to withstand Sea Horse Douluo's terrifying attack.

In the midst of a loud bang, Li Chang'an's feet were rooted to the ground, motionless, while his upper body was like drifting seaweed, swaying slightly, and he easily received the attack from both sides.

On the surface, it seemed that he had withstood the attack with his body, but in reality, all the power of this attack was used by him with the force-卸力 method he had comprehended during the Tide Tempering, like drifting with the waves, easily resolving it.

Seeing that the attack was ineffective, Sea Horse Douluo couldn't help but be shocked. He clearly hit the opponent with his punch. But the power of this punch seemed to have fallen into a bottomless abyss, unable to obtain even a trace of feedback.

He wouldn't be so shocked even if Li Chang'an had used some kind of defensive means to forcefully block it. The problem was that he couldn't see how the other party had resolved his attack.

Taking advantage of Sea Horse Douluo's shock, Li Chang'an moved his feet, his speed as fast as teleportation, disappearing from the spot. At this time, his fourth soul ring had already lit up!

The fourth soul ring, Sword Shadow, could only increase speed by 40% originally, but now, after being upgraded to 100,000 years, the increase in speed has increased to 200%. What an exaggerated increase. Not to mention that this increase is just an add-on to the main skill of this soul skill.

The real killing move is the Sword Shadow clone, and the 200% increase in power of the Bilin Sword martial soul itself!

A sword shadow was already hidden in the dark, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time!

At this moment, Sea Horse Douluo felt his hair stand on end! An unprecedented sense of crisis surged into his heart. He didn't dare to be negligent, his eyes shone with white light, and at the same time, his hands crossed his ten fingers, raised to his chest, palms down.

His ninth soul ring lit up!

In this short moment of exchange, Sea Horse Douluo had deeply felt Li Chang'an's power. He understood that if he continued to stalemate like this, he would be the one to lose. It was better to launch his strongest attack.

In this way, even if he couldn't defeat Li Chang'an, he could still consume his power as much as possible.

This was Sea Horse Douluo's duty as an examiner, and he would never slack off in the slightest.

Although Sea Horse Douluo's ninth soul ring was still a ten-thousand-year-level black, in reality, this black soul ring also had a cultivation level of up to 80,000 years. It was a suitable soul beast that he had found in the sea after a lot of hard work.

At this time, with the ninth soul ring shining, the black halo quickly expanded, forming a circular black curtain around him, and the huge energy fluctuations surged wildly, causing the surrounding air to twist violently!

At the same time, the entire sea in the sea also boiled!

And this time, without the obstruction of the Sea Horse Holy Pillar's light, the seawater rose straight up to a height of one hundred meters, and the clear seawater was instantly dyed black, emitting terrifying energy fluctuations in the violent surge.

Seeing this scene, Li Chang'an couldn't help but sigh. As expected, those who can become Holy Pillar Guardians are not easy to deal with. They have some tricks up their sleeves.
