Once the Golden Arhat state is achieved, one first becomes immune to all negative status effects. Any support-type soul skill that applies negative effects is rendered useless, and it can also purify one's own body, making it impervious to all poisons. All control-type soul skills, as long as they are energy-based, are completely ineffective. The Body Sect's description for the Flawless Golden Body is: Born of heaven and earth, a flawless golden body!
Any energy between heaven and earth can become a part of what nourishes the Golden Body Douluo. To wait for the Flawless Golden Body to be exhausted under such conditions is almost impossible.
If Xie Huanyue wanted to defeat him, there was only one possibility: his instantaneous explosive attack power had to reach a level that was nearly unbearable for him. But against such an explosive attack, the Golden Body Douluo had the Mind's Eye to evade the crisis.
It could be said that in the current era, apart from a few experts on the entire continent, anyone facing the Golden Body Douluo would feel an immense headache.
Although the so-called Golden Arhat Body didn't truly allow a human body to reach a god-level state, it was not far off. His sustained combat ability was at least three times that of a soul master of the same level. Even though the Golden Body Douluo only possessed the strength of a Golden Arhat Body in his upper torso and couldn't quite achieve three times the endurance, he definitely had twice as much.
Xie Huanyue's rain of fists landed on the Golden Body Douluo's enlarged upper torso, creating ripples of golden light. The latter raised his elbows to block in front of his chest, receiving the full brunt of Xie Huanyue's torrential assault.
"Oaaahhhhh..." Xie Huanyue also got serious, pouring his flowing aura into the surface of his fists with a determination to not stop until he broke the defense. He unleashed a barrage of chaotic punches, forcing the Golden Body Douluo to retreat step by step.
"Weak! Weak!" Golden Body Douluo roared. A brilliant golden light erupted from his upper body, actually blasting Xie Huanyue's assault away.
He had actually activated his Martial Soul True Body!
Xie Huanyue's arms were numb. After that round of fierce output, his soul power was also greatly depleted. The Golden Body Douluo would not let this opportunity slip. He pressed forward, clasping his hands together and bringing them down on the former with a furious smash.
Xie Huanyue didn't have that many Invincible Shields, and even if he did, it would be absolutely impossible to block the furious strike of a Super Douluo who had activated his Martial Soul True Body.
Just as everyone's hearts were in their throats, Xie Huanyue had an epiphany. The trajectory of the Golden Body Douluo's attack seemed to be outlined in his consciousness in advance.
Xie Huanyue fiercely activated his flying soul tool, his figure instantly floating upward, narrowly and perilously dodging the Golden Body Douluo's strike at the last possible moment.
"Hm?" The Golden Body Douluo's brows furrowed tightly. How could this kid possibly dodge his attack? Was it a coincidence?
"Hah, hah..."
Xie Huanyue panted heavily. After his great battle with the Golden Body Douluo, he seemed to have understood something. The opponent's movements were slowly becoming traceable in his mind. It was a strange feeling, yet he couldn't quite grasp it accurately.
The Golden Body Douluo did a backflip in mid-air, then hooked his back leg up and viciously swung it at Xie Huanyue, who had just dodged his attack.
That profound feeling came as quickly as it went. Xie Huanyue quickly raised his arms horizontally in front of him, barely blocking the kick, and his body was violently thrown back several hundred meters.
Was it really a coincidence? The corner of Golden Body Douluo's mouth curled up slightly. Although Xie Huanyue's resilience was beyond his expectations, this was as far as it went.
Die!
A brilliant golden light erupted from Golden Body Douluo's entire body as he dived towards the retreating Xie Huanyue. His upper body enlarged slightly once more, making his entire figure look extremely uncoordinated from a distance.
This is a Super Douluo of the Body Sect! So what if he's the companion of the Demon King Huo Yuhao? The gap in soul power level is too great, I can still beat you senseless!
On the Heavenly Soul Imperial Family's side, countless people couldn't help but think this as they watched the scene.
Seeing the Golden Body Douluo relentlessly pursuing Xie Huanyue, Marshal Xie Long almost couldn't stop himself from rushing up to rescue his son. Although he was also a Soul Douluo expert, facing such a powerful Golden Body Douluo, he probably wouldn't last a single round.
Just when no one was optimistic about Xie Huanyue's chances, he once again felt that profound state. The figure of the Golden Body Douluo, who was speeding towards him, continuously slowed down in his vision. All of his attack methods, offensive trajectories, and the range of his soul power's external release appeared one by one in Xie Huanyue's mind.
"Your trick, I've learned it..."
This is...
Xie Huanyue dodged again, as if he had predicted the Golden Body Douluo's attack in advance, easily evading the latter's ferocious assault.
How is this possible? For the first time, a look of shock appeared on the Golden Body Douluo's face. How did that kid manage to evade his attack so nonchalantly just now? Could it be...
When the Golden Body Douluo saw Xie Huanyue's slightly lowered eyes, that deep suspicion instantly turned into thick disbelief.
This kid actually comprehended the Body Sect's Mind's Eye during his battle with me!
The four Body Sect Titled Douluo who were entangled with Marshal Xie Long's two Titled Douluo also saw this scene, and a touch of shock couldn't help but rise in their hearts.
One must know that among the current experts of the Body Sect, only a handful could completely master the Mind's Eye, and it could only be comprehended through accumulated combat experience over time. A soul master's Mind's Eye state was not comparable to the so-called martial arts prediction of ordinary people in a fight. It was a special sensory combat technique that combined spiritual power with the physical body. Imagine how terrifying it would be if all of your attacks, whether long-range or close-range, no matter how powerful, could be predicted in advance.
You would be directly in an invincible position, wouldn't you?
Throughout history, masters of the Body Sect who perfected the Mind's Eye could even foresee future attacks.
Even the current number one expert of the Body Sect, the level ninety-eight Super Douluo Du Busi, had not reached this level.
This kid is a combat genius!
The Golden Body Douluo was utterly shocked. Once the opponent also mastered the Mind's Eye, then this sensory perception would cancel each other out. His effortless ease in front of Xie Huanyue would be gone, and he would have to truly face the latter's super-explosive offensive methods.
Although Zhang Lexuan didn't understand what exactly had happened in Xie Huanyue's battle circle, overall, things were developing in a positive direction.
The goal of the four of them was simple. It was not to defeat these eight opponents, but simply to hold them back and buy time for Marshal Xie Long's army to retreat.
Clearly, the enemy had also discovered their plan. The remaining fifty thousand Imperial Guards and troops from other branches jointly pressed forward, determined to break through Marshal Xie Long's army's three lines of defense in one fell swoop, or at the very least, cripple this troublesome rebel army!
For a time, the pressure on the Straw Hat Brigade multiplied. Although they were all genius experts at the Soul Emperor or even Soul Sage level, facing an opponent several tens of thousands of times their number, they began to show signs of decline.
The situation in the several major battle circles in the sky was even worse. The other two Titled Douluo from Marshal Xie Long's army were at a disadvantage. Their opponents were Titled Douluo from the Body Sect. Even if they were slightly lacking in soul power level, the formidable nature of their body martial souls, combined with their long-practiced combat techniques, was enough to be difficult to handle.
And the situation on Zhang Lexuan's side was even more severe. She was facing three Titled Douluo whose soul power levels were far superior to her own. She herself had only recently broken through to the Titled Douluo realm, her foundation was not yet completely stable, and she had not even obtained her ninth soul ring. If it weren't for her desperate fighting style of trading life for injuries, she would have probably been defeated long ago.
