Chapter 375: Yu Tianlin's Coercion
The last time Yu Tianlin had publicly displayed his Spirit Rings was during the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament. Back then, he had two purple and three black Spirit Rings. Although that configuration had been extremely shocking, it was nothing compared to what he possessed now.
Originally, he only had three black ten thousand year Spirit Rings. But now, he even had three red hundred thousand year Spirit Rings.
Such immense progress greatly exceeded Xue Qinghe's expectations, even though he had already prepared himself mentally.
After the shock passed, killing intent inevitably flashed through Xue Qinghe's eyes.
This child will definitely become my great enemy in the future. Should I take this opportunity to eliminate him?
This thought flashed through Xue Qinghe's mind, nearly making him summon the two Titled Douluo to join forces and kill Yu Tianlin.
However, in the end, Xue Qinghe forcefully suppressed the urge to kill Yu Tianlin right now.
Calm down. There is no need to rush. The grand plan is the priority.
Xue Qinghe restrained his killing intent.
The plan is already at its most critical stage. As long as I remain steady, success is assured. Once I become the Emperor of the Heaven Dou Empire, I will have plenty of ways to deal with him.
While Xue Qinghe's expression shifted again and again, Yu Tianlin remained mostly unaffected.
After all, whenever someone saw his Spirit Ring configuration for the first time, they would always show shock and disbelief. Having witnessed such reactions many times, he had long since become immune to them.
"Older Brother Xue, please forgive my offense!"
Yu Tianlin gave a low shout. Immediately, with a slight movement of his mind, a layer of blue-purple lightning surged out from his body, instantly covering a large area and enveloping Xue Qinghe as well.
It was the Thunder Domain.
Yu Tianlin knew that the fake person in front of him possessed the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul, which naturally came with the Angelic Domain. However, to conceal his identity, the Six-winged Angel Martial Soul had been disguised as a Swan Martial Soul, which meant the Angelic Domain could not be used.
Because of this, Yu Tianlin deliberately activated his Thunder Domain to suppress Xue Qinghe.
As soon as the Thunder Domain appeared, Yu Tianlin's aura immediately rose by another level, while Xue Qinghe was inevitably weakened. Moreover, faint arcs of lightning continuously flickered across Xue Qinghe's body, clearly showing that the Thunder Domain was constantly paralyzing him.
In response, Xue Qinghe parted his lips as if he wanted to say something, but Yu Tianlin paid him no attention. Dragging a streak of blue-purple lightning behind him, he rapidly flew toward Xue Qinghe, arriving before him in an instant and savagely slamming down with a Dragon Claw.
Xue Qinghe reacted quickly. Although Yu Tianlin's attack came extremely suddenly, he still responded in time, lighting up his first Spirit Ring. At the same time, he threw out his right fist to meet Yu Tianlin's Dragon Claw.
As the first Spirit Skill activated, Xue Qinghe's right fist instantly erupted with brilliant golden light. The golden light condensed into a massive round shield, colliding with Yu Tianlin's lightning-wreathed Dragon Claw.
Following a deafening boom, Yu Tianlin remained in place, while Xue Qinghe was sent flying backward.
Yu Tianlin had only used a basic attack, while Xue Qinghe had used his first Spirit Skill. Yet the result of the clash was still Yu Tianlin gaining the upper hand.
The reason was simple. The advantage provided by the Domain was too great.
Yu Tianlin's entire set of attributes had been amplified by thirty percent, while Xue Qinghe's entire set of attributes had been weakened by ten percent. Under these conditions, even Yu Tianlin's basic attack was more powerful than Xue Qinghe's hundred year Spirit Skill.
As Xue Qinghe flew backward, Yu Tianlin activated his head Spirit Bone skill and instantly appeared behind him, sweeping out with a whip kick.
Since Xue Qinghe was currently inside Yu Tianlin's Thunder Domain, his vision was affected by the omnipresent lightning. This allowed Yu Tianlin to use his Spirit Bone skill freely.
A strong sense of danger suddenly came from behind him. Xue Qinghe struggled to turn around, and his second Spirit Ring shone brightly. A longsword condensed from golden flames appeared in his hand, blocking Yu Tianlin's whip kick.
However, Xue Qinghe's action was useless. The moment Yu Tianlin's whip kick connected with the golden longsword, the sword shattered instantly. Xue Qinghe could only cross his arms in front of his chest to defend himself.
Without a doubt, under Yu Tianlin's kick, Xue Qinghe was sent flying backward once again. Yu Tianlin repeated the same trick, activating his instant movement skill to appear behind Xue Qinghe and launching the exact same attack once more.
After this happened several times, although Xue Qinghe was not seriously injured, minor injuries were unavoidable. He also looked utterly disheveled.
However, Xue Qinghe finally managed to figure out what was happening.
"Instant movement?!"
It could only be instant movement. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Yu Tianlin to appear behind him every single time.
After understanding Yu Tianlin's ability, Xue Qinghe became even angrier.
Since Yu Tianlin could appear behind him with instant movement, he could have easily used the opportunity to unleash a powerful attack and heavily injure him. But Yu Tianlin did not do so. He only used basic attacks.
This clearly meant Yu Tianlin was toying with him, and that made the always arrogant Xue Qinghe feel a wave of humiliation.
Endure! Endure! Endure!
Although he felt humiliated, for the sake of the grand plan, Xue Qinghe prepared to bear it.
Meanwhile, when Yu Tianlin saw that even such humiliating attacks still had not forced out Xue Qinghe's true Martial Soul, he could not help but frown.
He can endure even this?
If that is the case, then I will get serious. I refuse to believe you will still hide your Six-winged Angel Martial Soul when facing a life-or-death crisis!
Thinking this, Yu Tianlin slammed Xue Qinghe away with another claw. Then he instantly moved in front of him and lit up his sixth Spirit Ring.
As the blood-red light of the sixth Spirit Ring flashed, the highly active lightning within Yu Tianlin's Domain suddenly solidified. Xue Qinghe only felt the shadow of death enveloping his heart, and then his entire body became completely unable to move.
What is this? I cannot move!
This sudden change filled Xue Qinghe with terror.
Just then, Yu Tianlin parted the lightning in front of Xue Qinghe, allowing himself to appear in Xue Qinghe's line of sight. Xue Qinghe's attention was immediately drawn to the glowing red Spirit Ring on Yu Tianlin's body.
Is that a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Skill?
Looking at the lingering terror on Xue Qinghe's face, Yu Tianlin said softly, "Forget it. This is boring."
"I originally thought that since Older Brother Xue was hiding his cultivation, your true strength must be formidable. I did not expect it to be nothing special at all."
"Since that is the case, I will not play with you anymore. Just die. You should feel honored to die under my Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Skill."
"Remember, this move is called Eight Desolations Thunder Annihilation."
After speaking, Yu Tianlin moved his mind. The solidified lightning within the Domain instantly became violent, and its immense power caused the surrounding space to shatter inch by inch.
