There is a world of difference between a Spirit Saint and a Spirit Emperor. Generally, a Spirit Saint who uses their Martial Soul True Body can easily abuse and kill a Spirit Saint who has not used their Martial Soul True Body.
So, facing a Spirit Saint might require some effort for Yang Tian, but facing a Spirit Emperor? That's just an easy fight! Anyone with hands can do it!
Opposite Yang Tian, a burly, youthful-looking man dressed in emerald brocade, exuding an air of nobility, stood quietly. The young man appeared to be around twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. To have the cultivation of a Spirit King at this age was already quite difficult.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Yang Tian was not unfamiliar with it.
This Sect, if nothing unexpected happened, would be annihilated by the Spirit Hall.
"The soul arena battle is about to begin, please release your Spirits!"
The host's voice was much more excited than usual; clearly, he was also very much looking forward to the start of this battle.
No matter the outcome, this battle should be very exciting.
Opposite him, the young man's gaze, fixed on Yang Tian, sharpened with the host's announcement. Circles of brilliant spirit rings rose from his feet, attaching themselves to his arms and waist. His physique also became even more robust as his Spirit possessed him.
The most significant change was in the young man's arms; at this moment, his arms, including a portion of his chest, were covered in blue-purple scales. His two arms had actually transformed into two dragon arms! His hands had also become dragon claws!
"Yu Tianming, Spirit Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, Level 59 attack system Soul King! Please advise."
Yu Tianming had no disdain for Yang Tian. Nor did he display the arrogant posture of a disciple from a great Sect. He knew very well that with Yang Tian's talent, even if he lost this battle, it wouldn't be long before Yang Tian surpassed him.
Therefore, this battle was actually an opportunity for him to witness this peerless prodigy.
It was actually a coincidence that Yu Tianming happened to be in Tianshui City these past two days; otherwise, he would have truly missed the chance to fight Yang Tian.
Yu Tianming declared his identity. Out of respect, Yang Tian naturally had to respond. The Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword suddenly floated beside Yang Tian, while one yellow and two purple spirit rings slowly pulsed: "Swordsman, Spirit Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, Level 40 attack system War Soul Grand Master. Please advise!"
With both sides releasing their Spirits, the atmosphere on the soul arena immediately became tense.
Yang Tian did not initiate an attack, and Yu Tianming did not act recklessly. His first ring rose, and a yellow light flashed and disappeared.
"Lightning Dragon Claw!"
Azure lightning entwined Yu Tianming's sharp claws. Yu Tianming charged forward, and the dragon claws, imbued with the power of lightning, slashed down towards Yang Tian with a crackling sound.
"Lightning Dragon Claw, huh? In that case..." Yang Tian's lips curled slightly as he grasped the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword.
As Yang Tian gripped the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword, the audience in the stands below immediately fell silent. Even the fan club from the back courtyard, who had been cheering for Yang Tian earlier, quieted down.
In the three days of battles, Yang Tian had used the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword no more than twice. Each time he used it, it was just a casual two slashes, so they still didn't know what Yang Tian's Spirit Ability truly was.
The moment the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword was in hand, Yang Tian stepped forward with his right foot, forming a lunge. Then, the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword was tilted to block in front of him: "Iron Wall, Bronze Fortress, Battle Unceasing!"
With a low shout, sword qi erupted in front of Yang Tian, but it showed no offensive posture. Instead, it formed an impenetrable sword wall in front of him.
The wall of sword qi was like iron poured and bronze cast. Yu Tianming's lightning-infused dragon claws struck down, yet they couldn't budge the wall in the slightest.
"Such strong defense!" Yu Tianming was inwardly shocked, but Yang Tian showed no surprise. Iron Wall, Bronze Fortress, Battle Unceasing was one of the four primary defensive sword stances of the Nine Tribulations Sword Technique. If it couldn't even block one of Yu Tianming's attacks, what good would it be?
In the audience, countless people were bewildered.
"Is that the Swordsman's Spirit Ability? Which Spirit Ability is it?"
"Iron Wall, Bronze Fortress, Battle Unceasing. Is that the name of this Spirit Ability? As expected of the Swordsman, even the name of his Spirit Ability has such artistic conception."
"I have a bold guess, I wonder if I should say it!"
"The Swordsman did not use a Spirit Ability! His spirit ring was not activated!"
"Could it be, the legendary self-created Spirit Ability? The Swordsman actually possesses a self-created Spirit Ability, oh my god."
The silent Soul Arena instantly became lively due to the mention of a self-created Spirit Ability. On the Soul Arena, Yu Tianming also distanced himself, retreating decisively after his attack failed. The majestic Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit was being played like an agility-attack system by Yu Tianming.
"A self-created Spirit Ability? As expected of a genius Spirit Master who can defeat a Spirit King with the cultivation of a Spirit Elder!" Yu Tianming looked at Yang Tian with a solemn expression. That defense, if he didn't use a thousand-year Spirit Ability, he had no hope of breaking through it.
Yang Tian merely chuckled at Yu Tianming's praise and then said, "Facing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, I can only use some of my trump cards."
Hearing Yang Tian say "trump cards," Yu Tianming felt relieved. It was normal that his first Spirit Ability couldn't beat someone's trump card; it wasn't shameful!
Thinking of this, Yu Tianming immediately composed himself and said, "Brother Swordsman, I'm going to get serious now, be careful!"
After Yu Tianming spoke, his aura completely unleashed, and a mighty dragon's might spread, making many Beast Spirit Masters in the audience feel waves of discomfort.
This was the pressure of a top-tier Beast Spirit. Dragon-type Spirits naturally suppressed all other Beast Spirits.
Of course, this pressure varied from person to person. For example, Yu Tianming's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's pressure had no effect on Yang Tian. Conversely, if Yang Tian were to slightly reveal a trace of his True Dragon Bloodline power, Yu Tianming would instantly lose ninety percent of his combat strength.
There's no doubt that in the Plane of Douluo, unless a Dragon-type Beast Spirit Master had an absolute suppression of strength over Yang Tian, they would be unable to exert much combat power against him.
Within the dragon's might aura, Yang Tian's expression remained unchanged, and the edge of the Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword in his hand was restrained. Today, he intended to use Yu Tianming to practice the Nine Tribulations Sword Technique.
"Brother Swordsman. Be careful! Second Spirit Ability, Thunderous Might."
Yu Tianming was completely engulfed by lightning, and his offensive became sharper.
Yang Tian remained silent, his Dragon Pattern Black Gold Sword abandoning defense. Facing the lightning that was like a torrential storm, sword light overflowed from Yang Tian's hand, and sharp sword qi crisscrossed and flew from the sword's edge.
"Across the Wind and Clouds, East and West!"
This sword move focused on killing, on strong offense!
The lightning continued to rage, but it was completely blocked by the crisscrossing sword light. A fervent look appeared in Yu Tianming's eyes, and he immediately shouted, "Third Spirit Ability, Dragon's Rage!"
With the activation of his third Spirit Ability, a circle of blood-red light rose around Yu Tianming's entire body. Dragon's Rage put the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit Master into a berserk state for a period of time, greatly increasing their power and boosting their attack power by one hundred percent!
