As Huo Yu'er's final words faded, both sides moved instantly.
At this moment, Tang Wulin no longer cared whether being pulled into this domain by someone stronger was meant to mock his weakness, show leniency, or serve some other purpose. All he wanted now was to unleash his strongest attack and prove himself.
Tang Sect's Ultimate Hidden Weapon Technique – Guanyin's Tears!!!
This technique, as described by Tang San, could bypass all defenses, never miss its mark, and possessed a power so great that even Guanyin herself would shed tears.
It was also one of the Tang Sect's most mysterious techniques, with its principles incompletely understood by even Tang San. He only knew how to use it.
To execute this technique, one had to master Xuan Tian Gong to its pinnacle—the Three Flowers Gather at the Crown—and reach the peak of skills like Xuan Yu Hand, Controlling Crane, Capturing Dragon, and Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Additionally, there were other requirements. Once unleashed, this ultimate hidden weapon technique would drain the user of all their strength.
Though restricted by the Reincarnation Death Arena's suppression of soul and divine energy, Tang Wulin couldn't fully utilize it. However, after a prolonged buildup, he managed to bring out a glimpse of its true essence.
A translucent glass bead instantly condensed in Tang Wulin's hand and shot toward Huo Yu'er's heart at an invisible speed.
The speed and power of this strike drained Tang Wulin's stamina completely.
But before Tang Wulin could feel the emptiness of this exhaustion, a loud explosion rang out.
At this moment, a sense of foreboding arose in Tang Wulin's heart.
Focusing his scattered mental energy, Tang Wulin stared in disbelief at the scene before him.
There stood an enormous shield—or rather, it wasn't a shield but a massive sword, wide as a door. This sword now firmly protected Huo Yu'er's body.
From behind the giant sword, Huo Yu'er's voice echoed.
"Hmph, you really are quite foolish, Tang Wulin.
Didn't I tell you? Though this world prohibits the use of extraordinary powers, we can manifest all kinds of weapons.
So why did you think your cheap hidden weapon could pierce through a weapon of equal quality but several times thicker?
And besides, if you can manifest thousands of hidden weapons, why would I settle for just one sword?"
As she spoke, Huo Yu'er emerged slowly from behind the giant sword, continuing:
"Even if your hidden weapon's effect is astonishing enough to pierce through this giant sword, what would you do if I summoned a second or third such sword?
Sigh, you haven't changed at all, Tang Wulin. You're still as impulsive as ever, blindly gambling without considering the information."
By now, Tang Wulin had transitioned from disbelief at his ultimate move being blocked to reluctantly accepting reality.
He admitted it—he had utterly lost in this divine battle.
"So… am I going to die?" Despair and panic filled Tang Wulin's eyes. This was the first time in his life he had faced such a terrifying emotion.
But the next moment, Tang Wulin felt his divine energy returning.
Before he could react, Huo Yu'er continued:
"Such a pitiful opponent like you isn't worthy of being my rival."
As her words ended, both returned to reality.
Huo Yu'er turned to look at Tang Ya, who was battling Elder Song, the God of Speed.
"Ya Ya, switch opponents."
Tang Ya was currently dominating the God of Speed with her unique Dark Domain, which severely restricted his speed abilities. Despite her overwhelming advantage, she promptly dispelled her domain upon hearing Huo Yu'er's call and charged toward Tang Wulin.
Still recovering quickly under the influence of divine energy, Tang Wulin instinctively countered Tang Ya's attack with his Sea God Trident.
At this moment, Huo Yu'er declared coldly, "I've thoroughly defeated this useless fool, both in terms of cultivation and skill. He holds no value anymore. The rest is up to you, Ya Ya. Finish your revenge. As for me, it's time to end this tiresome war."
Tang Wulin's eyes bulged with rage. Though Huo Yu'er's words were true, they deeply wounded his pride.
"Huo—Yu'er!!!
You bastard, what do you think I am!!!"
Before Tang Wulin could continue venting, Tang Ya pressed on relentlessly with her Dark Spear.
"Don't look around, Tang Wulin. It's time to settle our grudge."
Huo Yu'er cast one last cold glance over her shoulder before turning away, saying:
"What do I think you are? Nothing more than a stepping stone to prove myself."
With that, Huo Yu'er disregarded Tang Wulin's twisted expression and charged toward Tang Ya's previous opponent, Elder Song.
At this moment, Huo Yu'er was like a tiger among sheep. Whether it was the God of Speed or the God of War, they were gravely injured within moments.
Watching his painstakingly assembled team being ruthlessly trampled, Tang Wulin descended into madness. His divine energy erupted violently as he furiously unleashed the Thirteen Techniques of the Sea God.
But these were outdated methods from an era even older than ten thousand years ago.
Tang Ya thrust her divine artifact, the Dark Spear, into the ground. Her expression darkened as she formed a twisted hand seal.
"Domain Expansion – Tang Sect Judgment!!!"
Instantly, an overwhelmingly dense surge of dark elements erupted from beneath Tang Ya's feet and surged toward Tang Wulin.
Mad Tang Wulin: "Damn it! Not again!"
Light and darkness intertwined. Facing the overwhelming tide of darkness, Tang Wulin once again found himself ensnared in a domain battle.

Douluo God Realm –
The Seven Elemental Gods exchanged glances, nodding in satisfaction at the one-sided battle. They had not only found suitable inheritors but also glimpsed their own future paths through them.
This victory was truly a win-win situation—like Qin Shi Huang eating Sichuan peppercorns, utterly triumphant.
However, compared to the jubilant Seven Elemental Gods, Tang San, seated on the highest throne, wore a dark expression.
This battle, crucial to the future faith of the Tang family's continent, was a complete loss for Tang San.
From this point onward, Tang San's family could no longer draw vast amounts of faith energy from Douluo Continent, the land of destiny on Planet Douluo.
Moreover, due to Tang San's neglect in spreading the Sea God's faith during his reign, rebuilding the faith outside of Douluo Continent would be a long and arduous task.
As for reestablishing the Asura God's faith, Tang San had no such intention.
After all, with organizations like the Tian Xing Knights dedicated to eradicating evil soul masters, why would there be a need for a place specifically designed for imprisoning and pitting evil soul masters against each other?
It was simply poor management in the past. If there were troublemakers, they should have been ruthlessly exterminated instead of allowing such complications to arise.
However, watching as Huo Yu'er gathered his subordinates, who had been gravely injured one by one, Tang San couldn't shake off a growing sense of foreboding.
