Chapter 329: Breakthrough! Three More Supplicants Arrive?
Outside the imperial palace, facing the swarming Royal Knights elite and numerous Spirit Hall Soul Masters who had formed a tight battle Formation, the Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect were alarmed but not panicked, instantly setting up a Formation to engage.
From the Second Elder, Third Elder, and Fifth Elder leading the group, nine Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—spiraled up from beneath their feet almost simultaneously!
The next second, the majestic pressure of the Titled Douluo, like three mountains suddenly rising from the ground, crashed into the Soul Master battle Formation ahead!
"Form the Clear Sky Formation! Charge through!"
The Second Elder's hair and beard stood on end as he let out a loud shout. With a light grip of his palm, black light surged, and a huge, ancient-looking Clear Sky Hammer instantly appeared.
"Hammer Shakes Mountains and Rivers!"
The Third Elder, the most impatient of them, roared and launched the first attack.
In the next second, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand shone with intense black light. His third Soul Ring and fifth Soul Ring flashed in succession. The hammer body expanded violently against the wind, carrying a terrifying Aura capable of collapsing mountains and splitting the earth, and smashed down heavily, without any fancy tricks, toward the dozens of Spirit Saints and Soul Douluo in front!
"Defend!"
In the opposing Formation, several Soul Douluo commanders shouted in unison upon seeing this, and together with the many Soul Masters behind them, they frantically poured their Soul Power into the core of the Formation. Immediately, a thick, wall-like light shield condensed from various Soul Powers appeared, attempting to withstand the furious blow of a Titled Douluo.
"Boom—!!!"
The Clear Sky Hammer smashed hard against the light shield!
Amidst a deafening explosion.
The seemingly sturdy light shield trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks instantly covered its surface!
Immediately after, the few Soul Douluo hosting the Formation core groaned at the same time, their faces turning pale, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths. As for the low-level Soul Masters behind them, they were knocked off balance by the recoil, and the Formation instantly fell into chaos.
"Change Formation! Exterminate!"
Seeing that they couldn't block it head-on, the guard commander immediately changed tactics.
In an instant, the battle Formation's light shifted from defense to offense. Countless sharp Spirit Ability lights—wind blades, fireballs, ice cones, poison stings, and even solid sword and spear shadows—covered the Third Elder, who was charging in the front, from the flanks and rear like a torrential rain!
"Small tricks!"
Seeing this, the Fifth Elder snorted coldly, his figure flickering to the Third Elder's flank like a ghost.
The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand did not grow larger, but he swung it so tightly that not even water could pass through, executing the "Defend" and "Quake" techniques from the Clear Sky Nine Absolutes, the hammer shadows turning into a thick barrier of black light.
"Clang, clang, clang... Boom!"
The vast majority of the long-range Martial Soul Abilities collided with this hammer-shadow barrier.
Like rain hitting banana leaves, they were easily deflected or shattered.
A few attacks with extremely high penetrating power.
Were also nullified by the vibration force contained in the hammer.
"Second Brother, Seventh Brother, clear the way! Fourth Brother, guard the flank and rear!" At this moment, the Second Elder shouted again. His combat experience was the richest, so he took the lead in commanding.
"Understood!"
Hearing this, the Fourth Elder and Seventh Elder responded in unison.
The Fourth Elder held a slightly smaller but more agile Clear Sky Hammer, and together with the Seventh Elder, they formed a pincer, firmly blocking the Soul Masters who were trying to flank and sneak attack from the rear. Although their hammer techniques were not as earth-shattering as the Third Elder's, with the quality of the Clear Sky Hammer and the blessing of the Clear Sky Sect's Formation, they still knocked those Spirit Saint-level opponents head over heels.
"Fourth Spirit Ability, Earth-Splitting Boom!"
Suddenly, the Second Elder saw that the opponent's Formation was in brief chaos and their Soul Power connection was disjointed due to the Third Elder's strike. A flash of light appeared in his eyes, and his purple fourth Soul Ring lit up.
At the same time, the seventh Soul Ring at his feet shone with deep black light. He did not unleash his Martial Soul True Body, but instead highly concentrated his Soul Power into one point. The Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, carrying the will to tear apart the earth and break through all obstacles, thrust fiercely toward the hub position of the light shield that was already covered in cracks!
This hammer strike condensed the essence of breaking a surface with a single point!
"Not good! Scatter quickly!"
Looking at this scene before him, the guard commander's face changed in horror; it was too late to change the Formation.
"Pfft—!"
The black hammer tip was like a hot knife through butter, precisely piercing the weakest point on the light shield, and then a huge amount of energy exploded!
"Crack—Boom!"
The light shield, which was already on the verge of breaking, shattered completely in response!
The violent hammer force, like an out-of-control torrent, rushed back along the Soul Power connection!
"Ah—!" Several Soul Douluo commanders took the brunt of the impact. Struck head-on by this terrifying vibration force, their protective Soul Power collapsed instantly, blood sprayed from their mouths, and they flew backward like kites with broken strings, crashing into a section of the palace wall, their survival unknown.
The many Soul Masters behind them who provided Soul Power support were even worse off. Like a wheat field swept by a hurricane, they were blown away or knocked over in swathes, screaming repeatedly, and the tight battle Formation instantly collapsed!
This first and strongest line of defense on the outskirts of the imperial palace was directly torn open by these five Titled Douluo Elders of the Clear Sky Sect with thunderous momentum!
"Charge in! Save the Sect Master!"
The Second Elder did not linger in the fight. Pointing his hammer toward the side hall, he took the lead and rushed into the gap. The Third Elder and Fifth Elder followed closely, their hammer wind clearing the way, invincible! The Fourth Elder and Seventh Elder brought up the rear, defeating the sporadic Soul Masters who were trying to regroup and block them again.
On the outskirts of the imperial palace, flesh and blood flew, and it was a mess.
The domineering nature of the Clear Sky Hammer and the powerful strength of the Clear Sky Sect Elders were vividly displayed at this moment. However, they knew clearly that this had only broken through the outermost blockade.
The real dragon's den and tiger's lair was inside that side hall.
Sect Master Tang Xiao and the others were likely facing terrifying enemies several times this number!
Time was life! The Five Elders turned into five sharp streaks of black light, ignoring consumption, and sped toward the side hall area where the killing sounds were deafening and the energy was chaotic, at the fastest speed possible.
However, just as the Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect broke through the palace's outer defense line and turned into five sharp streaks of black light, about to penetrate deep into the heart of the palace.
"Hum! Hum! Hum!"
Three vast, abyss-like terrifying Auras appeared in the night sky above without warning!
The next second, three streams of light hovered in the sky directly in front of the Five Elders at a speed that exceeded the limits of visual capture, perfectly blocking their only path to the side hall!
The light dissipated, revealing three figures radiating suffocating pressure.
The one on the left had a slender and upright figure, wearing a green robe that moved without wind. Embroidered on the sleeves were lifelike Azure Luan patterns, as if they would spread their wings and fly out at any moment.
He had a delicate face and looked to be about forty or fifty years old. His black hair was interspersed with a few bright, feather-like strands. The most striking thing was his eyes; the pupils were a strange blue-gold color, and when he opened and closed them, they were as sharp as a falcon's, yet carried a cold indifference as if looking down on all living beings.
It was the Third Supplicant of Spirit Hall—Azure Luan Douluo!
The one in the middle was extremely burly and sturdy, like a moving mountain of flesh, wearing heavy dark gold armor, with shoulder guards shaped like roaring lion heads. He had a rough face, and his hair and beard were all flared, presenting a dark gold color, raging like a lion's mane. His bronze-bell-sized eyes were bright and piercing. Just standing there, he exuded a domineering and terrifying sense of oppression that could break through a Thousand Weight.
He was the Fourth Supplicant of Spirit Hall—Lion Douluo!
The one on the right was somewhat similar to Azure Luan Douluo, also wearing a green robe, but the patterns were more gorgeous and complex, with faint patterns of ice crystals and light feathers.
His face was younger and more handsome, even carrying a hint of femininity. His skin was fair to the point of being almost transparent, and the corners of his lips seemed to always carry a slight, mocking arc.
It was the Fifth Supplicant of Spirit Hall—Light Feather Douluo!
The three Supplicants stood in the air without releasing their Martial Souls, but the Soul Power fluctuations they naturally emitted had reached the level of Super Douluo at level 96 or higher!
"This is...!!!"
Looking at these three figures that had suddenly appeared, the Five Elders of the Clear Sky Sect, who were preparing to charge in with one go, suddenly froze, their expressions instantly becoming extremely ugly.
At this moment, the Second Elder's pupils contracted to pinpoints, his hand gripping the Clear Sky Hammer tightened involuntarily, and a dry voice squeezed out from his throat, saying: "Azure Luan... Lion... and... Light Feather?! Spirit Hall actually sent three Supplicants at once?!"
The Third Elder gasped, the anger on his face replaced by deep horror, saying: "Level 96... or maybe even higher! Three Super Douluo!"
The Fifth Elder's face was also livid, gritting his teeth and saying: "No wonder those small fries outside couldn't stop us... It turns out the real killing move was waiting here!"
The slight hope and sharpness that the Elders had just raised because of breaking through the outer defense line dimmed instantly, like a flame extinguished by ice water, the moment these three Supplicants appeared.
Replacing it was boundless heaviness and a nearly suffocating sense of oppression.
With three Super Douluo blocking the way in front, the scattered guards behind regrouping, and the sounds of fierce battle coming from the side hall... Besieged from within and without, surrounded by powerful enemies! The path of rescue seemed, at this moment, to have been completely severed by these three figures who descended like Heavenly Gods!
"Clear Sky Sect, stop here today."
Azure Luan Douluo's green eyes swept indifferently over the Five Elders below who were facing a great enemy. His voice was calm and waveless, yet carried an unquestionable majesty as he spoke.
