Chapter 134 - Battle of Extremes

The man who stood there was indeed Qian Daoliu. He was a handsome man that seemed to be 30 or 40 years old when the truth was that he was over 150. He had long snow-white hair with black eyes, 6 white wings at his back. He gave a peaceful and tranquil aura, exuding a pleasant feeling, nothing near the truth, as countless death laid under him. His control of spirit energy was so impeccable that he didn't even exude a little of it, resembling a normal human.

He was one of the strongest of all the continent, a extreme douluo rank 99, Angel Douluo. With his great power, he was considered the backing of Spirit Hall, being the first priest who controlled the Elder Hall.

"To be able to stop my attack" he hummed "Not bad. It seems that the youths are growing" He looked down at Xiangxie "To even know my name" he turned to the group inside Heaven Dou's Palace "I suppose the little Chen child told it"

Xiangxie clenched her sword an pointed at Daoliu "Before I kill you, were are you the one that ordered the attack to our clan?" she asked with a calm voice but with fury in her eyes.

"Oh? The attack to the Seven Treasure Clan" he said scratching his chin "I sent old crocodile to test the waters, I was curious about you. Not that such lowly fight matters me. I let Bibi Dong decide"

"So you were one of the culprits" From Xiangxie's sword intense red fire started surging "I will kill you!"

"Ho, ho" he laughed "The youths always so rash". Suddenly, he opened his eyes widely, 9 spirit rings appearing surrounding him, 8 blacks and 1 red. The power of a limit douluo suppressing not only Xiangxie, but even the people at the palace.

"I didn't come to fight, I will evade a bloodbath if possible. I would rather ignore worldly matters" Daoliu said calmly, but without stopping his suppression "I came for the one named Ning Bai. Give him to me and I would retire without any casualties"

"Not only you attack our clan, now you even dare to ask for my son" Xiangxie's eyes started glowing "You're dead!" she shouted revolving her spirit power. 9 spirit rings appeared surrounding her, 8 blacks and 1 red. The pressure of Xiangxie didn't falter against Daoliu, both of them clashing, sparks flying between both.

Daoliu opened his eyes shocked "Extreme douluo?". It only was for an instant, quickly reverting to his calm self, he quickly analyzed Xiangxie, looking her up and down, his gaze finally settling at her sword "Of course. That dammed Sword" He said a little pissed "For someone so young to arrive at that level by following it, you should have great talent, but..." Daoliu aura exploded, three long spears appeared surrounding him, covered by golden flames "I am a follower of the true god. I would let you experience our difference in power and experience"

Golden aura exuded from Daoliu, the sky started turning golden "<Angelic Domain>". Daoliu's domain showed a greater pressure than Renxue's Truth, almost 3 times greater it was enough to block low level titled douluo, being able to purify spirit energy instantly.

Xiangxie stood there impassible, a red aura surrounded her, not letting the golden aura affected her. Even when she was furious, she stayed quiet, analytically observing her rival.

"Experiment a god power" Daoliu's rings started shining, from the three spears, golden flames exploded "<Angellic Spears>". The truth was that these three spears were all 99.999 years old spirit bones, they were right leg, left leg, and right arm, respectively. These bones having been affected by Qian Daoliu's aura, took the best form for him, spears. Being spirit bones with the divinity of the Angel God, made them powerful weapons, wielded by a limit douluo, made them even more frightening.

The spears shot towards Xiangxie "BOOM!" the air in front Xiangxie exploded, the sky turning Hell. The flames against the golden aura, made it seems a picture of Heaven and Hell clashing between them.

"Useless! Flames are under my control" Qian Daoliu stated, Xiangxie's flames started revolving around the spears, the spears seemingly seemed to make that flames their own, gaining power from them.

The spears passed through the hell even stronger than before. Xiangxie stood still seeing the spears approaching and she smiled, her sword started shining.

Just as the spears were about to pierce her "boom!" the flames at the tip of the spears changed from golden to red and exploded, diverting their trajectory, bȧrėly grazing Xiangxie.

"You really thought you could make my flames yours?" spatted Xiangxie.

"Tch!" clicked his tongue Daoliu "Ultimate flames". Daolui snapped his fingers, the spears stopped and flipped 180º pointing at Xiangxie again. They started spinning, Xiangxie's flamed started being released from them, letting only pure golden flames. Daolui snapped his fingers, and the spears were shot towards her.

Xiangxie seeing the three spears coming, she sidestepped, wind and flames roaring from her sword. She swung her sword, parrying one spear, flames shooting around due to their clash. She continued moving around with the minimum movement, she started evading the spears, clashing only one at a time.

Xiangxie continued retreating while surrounded by flames, not even for a moment trying to fight back, focusing all her strength in protecting herself.

"YOU!" Daoliu was furious "You know about it, that fake told you!" The spears returned to Daoliu, he took one with both hands, while the others floated around him. "<Angelic strike>!" Golden flames, surrounded his body as he charged towards Xiangxie, his body resembling a meteorite.

Xiangxie remained calm, even when she was angry, and she started going back "<10.000 Hell Cuts>!" At the same time as she retreated, she swung her sword so fast that it was almost impossible to know how many time she slashed, one seemingly swung causing 50 slashed. Flames slashes flying towards him, these weren't strong enough to break his defense, but each of them bothered him, slowing him a little. The sheer number also blocked Daoliu's sight and their energy affected his sensing, making very difficult to pinpoint Xiangxie's position.

After chasing for one minute, Daoliu stopped having learned the futility of his attack. Xiangxie only focused on escaping, even when she received some damage from Daolui, it was almost collateral damage, not any direct attack, white flames slowly healing her from any light injury caused by Daoliu. It was easily seen that Xiangxie didn't have the slightest intention to fight, only retreating maintaining a distance, wanting to waste time.

"Knowing that you couldn't win, you resorted to this, eh?" Daoliu tried to say calmly, but fury could be sense at his voice "Unfortunately for you, you have people to protect" Daoliu pointed at the sun, his three spears shot upwards, disappearing at the distance.

"You forced me to this" Daoliu said, all his rings shining "<Angel Skill: Solar Sacred Spear>!" From the Sun a powerful ray of light and flames resembling a spear was shot downwards. Instead of targetting Xiangxie who could try to evade it, its target was Heaven Dou's palace "Would you let your family and friend die?" Daoliu murderously grinned "Even if a pity for Bai not being under us, I won't let someone with his power help your clan. All the people facing against Spirit Empire shall die!"

"Fucking senile" Xiangxie's legs started shining, a seemingly armored boots appearing in them "<Spirit Bones: Explosive and Instant Speed>!" She moved so quickly that she almost seemed to have teleported, appearing between the Solar Sacred Spears and Heaven Dou's palace.

Xiangxie held her sword with both hand and closed her eyes and focused on her sword. All the flames around her disappeared and her aura seemed to have dispersed, making her seems like a non-spirit master. Her sword started to change, losing its red color, becoming gray instead, starting to resemble a normal greatsword.

Xiangxie slowly opened her eyes "Sword Skill" she said calmly, a powerful aura started exuding from her sword, all her strength focused in it "<Rainbow Hell>!" She swung her sword at Daoliu's attack, a tornado of 7 different colored flames roared rising up.

Each color represented one element. Even though they had the form of flames, their nature couldn't be any more distant to it. Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness and Space, each element condensed in flame form, all of them combined, boosting each other for an extremely powerful attack, even with a trace of divinity in it.

Both attacks crashed, the sky trembled and even started cracking, even at the distant Heaven Dou's Palace couldn't stand and started collapsing. Both attacks were the most powerful one of each limit douluo, each attack with divinity, having used even a trace of their god's strength.

Any of the attacks could win against the other when "BOOOOM!" both attacks caused a huge explosion. It was lucky that they were fighting in the sky if they would have crashed on the ground their damage would have been much greater. Even with this, the landscape changed, the sky turned dark, thunder sounding from it, smoke hiding the results of it. In Heaven Dou's Palace, only thanks to the combined work, of Bone Douluo and Fengzhi they were able to resist the aftermath.

As the smoke and dust dispersed, it could be seen Xiangxie bȧrėly floating with her normal Fire Volcano Greatsword at hand. Her body was charred and full of injured having received most of the aftermath of both attacks. Even if both attacks had mostly the same strength, she started her attack after him, plus she needed to protect her back, this caused the attack to hit nearer her, receiving the full might, while Daoliu was far from it.

Even with her injuries, Xiangxie's eyes were determined to look at Daoliu without any speck of doubt while white flames covered her body, trying to heal her "It's my win" she statted "You may be stronger, but..." her gaze focused at Daoliu's figure "You're too old"

Even when Qian Daoliu wasn't affected by the explosion, his body had experimented some changes. If before he seemed in his 30 or 40, now he seemed to have grown older at the 70s, his white hair, now was the burn-out hair of an old man. Qian Daoliu looked at her with a furious look.

"You already surrendered, deciding not to become stronger, discarding even your spirit bones for the creation of a new successor. You're bȧrėly alive, without your god grace, you won't be standing" Xiangxie statted.

"You!" Daoliu clenched his teeth "Since the start, you only gained time, you always knew that I can't leave Douluo Palace" he started trembling furiously, but he stopped and sighed "It's your win. I would retire from now, but this won't finish. I would pay you for this disgrace" he spatted turning away with the intention of running away.

"Like I'll let you!" shouted Xiangxie, countless swords appeared surrounding her and Daoliu forming a sphere around them. From each sword, different colored flames surged, creating a dome made of flames encompassing both of them in it "It's not like I wasn't doing anything while I was running away from your attacks. I won't let you run away so easily" she said grinning and pointing her sword at him.

"I can't die" Seeing himself trapped he said fearfully. He started trembling and glanced at Xiangxie with a murderous look "I will create a God and God will purify all of you" Then, he vomited blood. He used his last blood essence, sacrificing almost all his life energy to obtain a momentary boost "<Solar Pure Flames>!" Golden flames resembling lava started surging from his body, they were so strong that even started scorching him "You all will die under God's wrath" he said before shooting towards the flames' dome, piercing through it and escaping at the horizon.

Xiangxie sighed exhausted withdrawing her spirit, all the flames disappearing. She landed at the ground and laid down "At least he won't be any more problem. But, we should be wary of his god" she said closing her eyes resting.
