"Seventh Soul Skill, Flame Kite True Body!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Demon Bear True Body!"

Facing a mere Soul Sage, the two Titled Douluo both unleashed their Martial Soul True Bodies, showing how seriously they took Tianlin.

Spirit Kite Douluo swooped down first—when a thunderbolt suddenly blocked her path. "You two riffraff, bullying my grandson—does he have no elders?"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Thunder Hawk True Body!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Titled Douluo finally joined the fight, the first appearing being Thunder Hawk Douluo Yin Yang, alongside Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Yin Yang charged Spirit Kite Douluo directly. Both used flying martial souls, one fire, and one lightning, both of similar quality.

Level-wise, Spirit Kite Douluo was slightly stronger at rank ninety-three, but Yin Yang had something she lacked—soul bones.

Tang Hao had sent three soul bones as gifts. Ning Fengzhi generously gave Yin Yang the Titan Ant Emperor right arm bone and the Bloodthirsty Berserk right leg bone as rewards for decades of loyal service.

With two soul bones, his level jumped to ninety-two, and his physique was no weaker than a bone-less ninety-four Titled Douluo.

Thus, in their first clash, Yin Yang even gained the upper hand, nearly injuring Spirit Kite Douluo's heart meridian.

"Damn, this old guy's gotten so strong! What monster strength," Spirit Kite Douluo thought. In soul power and soul skills, she had the edge, but in physical strength, she lost badly.

Realizing she couldn't fight Yin Yang up close, she quickly pulled back to launch ranged fire attacks.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo didn't get to fight Demon Bear, because he was intercepted by another—, Ci Xue.

Ci Xue wasn't strong Titled Douluo, but he had one unique trait—poison devouring, making him Dugu Bo's nemesis. Any poison Dugu Bo released, he just swallowed.

Of course, his poison devouring had a limit. If Dugu Bo used his deadliest poison, Ci Xue might explode, but the poison would also destroy everything. So unless desperate, Dugu Bo wouldn't use his trump card.

Spirit Hall realized this, so their true experts hadn't appeared; Ci Xue alone could stall Dugu Bo.

After all, the real threat in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the Sword-Bone Douluo and the sect master. Their fame on the continent far exceeded even the Golden Iron Triangle—and none of the three had shown up yet.

"Demon Bear, looks like it's just you and me!" Tianlin slowly approached Demon Bear Douluo, magic sword in hand, no longer holding back. His spirit rings—one yellow, two purple, two black, two red—flashed brightly.

"Two hundred-thousand-year soul rings?!" Demon Bear was shocked.

Tianlin sighed, "Told you, blind people shouldn't wander. My seventh ring is also four hundred sixty thousand years. Taste the true power of a fierce beast's soul ring!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Demon Sword True Body!"

Behind Tianlin, a colossal Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear shadow roared.

With the Deathgod Domain, all Spirit Hall soul masters below level sixty were knocked off their feet by the roar; weak-minded ones even fainted.

Though Tianlin's Martial Soul True Body wasn't beast-transformed, his soul ring carried the Bear Lord's full might.

Feeling this immense power for the first time, Tianlin's fighting spirit soared.

He leaped in with a mighty slash—Heaven Collapses from the Seven Kill Sword Skills.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Blood Demon Heavy Fist!" Sensing danger, Demon Bear Douluo didn't bother with his first six skills, using his eighth at great soul power cost to block.

It was the right move. A normal ten-thousand-year soul ring's True Body couldn't compare to Tianlin's four-hundred-sixty-thousand-year one, especially in attack. The Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear had the ultimate gold attribute—supreme offense. Anyone hoping to block purely defensively was courting death.

Demon Bear used both his seventh and eighth skills and barely managed to fend off Tianlin's attack, gaining no advantage.

He was shocked and enraged—even Ghost Douluo at rank ninety-five couldn't suppress him this much. How strong was Tianlin, a mere Soul Sage?

"Not bad, but you forget—this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!" Tianlin sneered.

Demon Bear immediately panicked. In their frontal clash, he'd overlooked the fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the world's number one support sect.

Now, three Soul Emperors with Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas stepped out.

"Seven Treasures: first strength, second speed, third soul, fourth control, fifth attack, sixth augment!"

To maximize efficiency, the three Soul Emperors each buffed one person. Instantly, Dugu Bo, Yin Yang, and Tianlin's power soared.

At Soul Emperor level, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda buffs were seventy percent, and the Sixth Augment boosted the strongest attribute—Tianlin's attack.

That meant Tianlin now received both the fifth and sixth buffs—attack up one hundred forty percent, and strength, soul power, speed, and defense up seventy percent.

"See the strongest buff of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Fourth Soul Skill—Glimmering Immortal-Slaying Slash!" In his True Body state, Tianlin's magic sword stabbed forward with boundless force.

"Ninth Soul Skill—Explosive Demon Bear Break!" Demon Bear countered with his strongest move.

But the result was unexpected. His fist wind was instantly dissolved by Tianlin's sword aura; he could do nothing as the magic sword hurtled at him.

In the nick of time, a long staff flew from afar, striking the sword tip.

Boom!

The sword's aura was deflected, sparing Seven Treasure Mountain, but the mountain opposite was pierced through from peak to base in a straight, diagonal line—a massive tunnel carved by Tianlin's sword.

"What terrifying power!" Demon Bear Douluo was petrified. If not for the intervention, he'd be dusted now.
