Facing Ghost Emperor, a Near Divine, Duoqing Douluo naturally did not dare to be careless. He directly went all out.
The crystalline long sword in Duoqing Douluo's hand gently waved. A thin layer of water mist immediately appeared in the air. This seemingly slow water mist was actually spreading rapidly in all directions.
Divine Domain Douluo, who was retreating from the battlefield, suddenly felt the air around him became extremely sticky, as if trapped in an invisible bog. His speed sharply decreased. He could not help frowning deeply.
A domain?
Above Three Word Battle Armor, each possesses a domain unique to the battle armor. And what Duoqing Douluo was now displaying was his battle armor domain, "Duoqing Zigu Kongyu Hen" (A Lover's Vain Sorrow).
With a martial soul like the Duoqing Sword, in the eyes of others, Duoqing Douluo should be a strong attack type soul master. But in reality, he was a genuine spiritual control system soul master. He had also earned the title of number one control on the continent in the Douluo Federation.
The evaluations of experts who had fought Duoqing Douluo in the Douluo Federation were consistent. Duoqing Douluo might not be the most powerful among the Limit Douluo they knew, but he was definitely the opponent they least wanted to face. The reason was simple. The spirit abilities Duoqing Douluo had chosen were very disgusting.
His spirit abilities were not strong in terms of killing power compared to other strong attack Limit Douluo. But once entangled by him, it was like encountering a piece of toffee. It was almost impossible to break free.
"Duoqing Zigu Kongyu Hen" was one of Duoqing Douluo's most troublesome abilities. It was an extremely powerful, large scale auxiliary type domain. Within this domain, any attack methods would be weakened, and speed would also be significantly slowed. The degree of weakening was directly related to the cultivation level of the soul master trapped within the domain.
Ghost Emperor looked at this domain with some interest. He had no intention of leaving this troublesome domain. A green skull appeared beside him in an instant, opening its mouth wide. Green light flames poured down like a river, pouring toward Duoqing Douluo.
A trace of gravity flashed in Duoqing Douluo's eyes. Facing a Near Divine level Ghost Emperor, he dared not be the slightest bit careless. The death aura contained in those green light flames would erode the divine soul of even a Semi Divine expert who touched it.
Sixth spirit ability, Threads of Love Entanglement.
The crystalline long sword in his hand lightly trembled. The blade edge traced a mysterious trajectory. Countless fine, hair thin water threads wove into a huge net before him. The green light flames impact on the water net, producing a hissing corrosive sound. But the water threads, like living things, continuously regenerated and entangled, layer by layer weakening the impact of the light flames.
"Interesting."
Seeing this, Ghost Emperor grasped with his right hand in the air. That green skull suddenly swelled. The light flames spewing from its mouth instantly swelled several times, showing signs of breaking through the water net.
Duoqing Douluo's figure slightly retreated. His eyes flickered as he activated his fifth spirit ability.
In an instant, his figure became illusory, as if merging with the surrounding water mist. The green light flames penetrated his body, but like striking a phantom, they caused no damage. And the next moment, Duoqing Douluo up the energy trajectory of the light flames, directly appearing beside Ghost Emperor.
Fifth spirit ability, Tracing.
When entering the Tracing state, he could instantly become immune to all energy form attacks. Moreover, when an energy attack hit his body, the Tracing effect would immediately activate, instantly following the trajectory of the opponent's energy attack to appear before them.
Normally, getting close to an expert like Ghost Emperor was not a good choice. But in a short time, Duoqing Douluo was confident he could retreat unscathed from before Ghost Emperor.
Seeing Ghost Emperor's face close, a terrifying aura emanating from him, Duoqing Douluo's eyes condensed. His first spirit ring suddenly lit up.
"Once."
Ghost Emperor frowned. Even with his peak Spiritual Domain realm spiritual power, he was affected, trapped into memories of the past.
And time seemed to reverse as well. Ghost Emperor's movements, which had been raised to counterattack, were forcibly pulled back to their starting point.
"Once" awakened the purest emotions deep within the heart, like the soul-shaking of first love. Although Duoqing Douluo liked to describe his spirit abilities in literary terms, the actual combat effect was simple and crude. Instantly retroactively all actions to one second ago.
Many experts knew that Duoqing Douluo liked to follow Tracing with Once. But even knowing this, they had no way to counter it. This was precisely because "Once" was difficult to counter.
After all, no matter what you did, your actions would return to what they were one second ago. Anything you did was useless.
Fortunately, when Duoqing Douluo used "Once," he himself would also be affected by emotion and could not launch attacks. Moreover, this spirit ability could only be used to backtrack actions, not to backtrack status. Otherwise, this move would truly be unsolvable.
The key point was that this was still Duoqing Douluo's first spirit ability, his original spirit ability. One could only say that in Soul Land III, the monsters of this generation were mostly concentrated among the older generation.
"Regret."
After the effect of the "Once" spirit ability disappeared, Duoqing Douluo used his third spirit ability.
As the name suggested, this spirit ability could influence another's mind, making them remember their own regrettable past.
However, facing this spiritual attack directly attacking the mind, Ghost Emperor was not affected in the slightest.
"Do not show off such spirit abilities before me."
Countless wails sounded in the void. Twisted ghost faces emerged from the black mist. Duoqing Douluo only felt a flood of negative emotions suddenly surge into his mind. Despair, pain, regret, resentment. These emotions surge his mental defenses like a tide.
Duoqing Douluo groaned, his staggering backward.
Ghost Emperor had no intention of giving him a chance to breathe. Pale flames appeared beneath his feet, spreading wildly, beginning to erode the boundaries of the "Duoqing Zigu Kongyu Hen" domain. At the same time, he formed seals with his hands. Eight ferocious ghost king appeared behind him, each emitting a terrifying pressure. suppressed, constantly shrinking.
But Duoqing Douluo was not alarmed by being suppressed.
The gap between a Near Divine and a Semi Divine was indeed considerable. But it was not so easy for a Near Divine to take down a Semi Divine. Moreover, for some reason, he always felt that Ghost Emperor's cultivation level did not match the aura he sensed. The power of his spirit abilities was also not as strong as he had imagined.
Ghost Emperor's cultivation had reached a limit at the Near Divine level, a world of difference from someone just entering the Near Divine realm. Duoqing Douluo had met several such Near Divine experts. If measuring their strength in terms of Semi Divines, at least three Semi Divines were needed to fight against such a peak Near Divine.
So he knew that the other party's strength was definitely more than this. He should not be having such a evenly matched battle with him.
Did he want to frame him that badly?
Duoqing Douluo always felt it was not that simple.
...
Huo Yuhao only glanced briefly at the distant Limit battlefield. His gaze suddenly turned to the void beside him.
"Since you are here, why hide?"
A light laugh came from the void. "Truly sharp perception. To have reached the Spiritual Domain realm in spiritual power at such a young age, you truly have hope of touching the divine realm. At least in terms of spiritual power, your chances of entering the Divine Origin realm are higher than mine."
