When his cultivation was not high, Wang Nan couldn't determine the strength of this light projection, only knowing that Xuan Zi struggled slightly under such a light projection.
From his current perspective, the power of this light projection, after all, only originated from a fragment and ultimately did not reach the true God Realm. Ye Xishui's Limit Douluo strength was sufficient to deal with it.
As the spatial rift opened, an evil Aura emanated, which also caused the power of Ye Xishui's Bright Phoenix to become dormant, and the Aura of the Blood Demon Puppet behind her grew stronger.
Ye Guyi, sensing the intensifying evil Aura in the vicinity, saw the golden flames on her longsword grow even brighter. However, seeing that the others had not yet made a move, she ultimately suppressed the urge to act.
The God Position fragment contained the consciousness of the previous Rakshasa God, which, with the help of residual divine force, transformed into a light projection to protect itself. But as an Evil Soul Master, Ye Xishui's power also increased under the influence of this force.
With the Blood Demon Puppet behind her radiating a great blood-red light, Ye Xishui raised her hand, and an Aura no less powerful than that light projection swept forth, covering the sky and earth.
After several rounds, the purple light projection gradually dimmed, transforming into a stream of light that drilled into Ye Xishui's body.
A layer of purple light suddenly enveloped her, even overshadowing the light of the Blood Demon Puppet behind her.
"Tang San," a hoarse voice uncontrollably escaped Ye Xishui's lips.
"Xishui, how are you?" Long Xiaoyao's expression changed upon hearing this, and he rushed to Ye Xishui's side.
However, just as he was about to approach, Ye Xishui suddenly raised her hand to stop him.
After carefully sensing for a moment, she frowned deeply and looked up at Wang Nan.
From her expression, even without speaking, the others already understood what had happened. Another God Position fragment was obtained, but Ye Xishui still hadn't sensed the existence of the God Realm.
Ye Xishui simply ignored everything else, clad in purple light, and continued to fly towards the next location.
"That's enough."
Just as Ye Xishui was searching for the next place where a God Position fragment was hidden, Wang Nan suddenly blocked her path.
He had heard the voice from Ye Xishui's mouth clearly. The words "Tang San" might not have attracted much attention from others, but considering the divine war from ten thousand years ago, Wang Nan felt that this Rakshasa God's God Position fragment was probably not that simple.
"Are you going to stop me from becoming a God?"
Perhaps influenced by the Rakshasa's Aura, Ye Xishui's face became extremely sinister. The obsession with "becoming a God" was infinitely magnified in her heart. She was clearly affected, but she herself was completely unaware.
Wang Nan said no more. A golden light flashed in his hand, and his long staff was already swung out.
However, what took the blow was a Dragon claw covered in black scales. Long Xiaoyao had already appeared in front of Wang Nan. Behind him, the light on Ye Xishui's body grew even denser, and the surrounding space cracked open, as a cone-shaped Soul Guidance Device slowly emerged.
This Soul Guidance Device was dark red all over. The moment it appeared, countless wails resonated, and the sky seemed to dim slightly in that instant.
That was Death God Tower, the Level 9 Soul Guidance Device that brought Ye Xishui fame.
Wang Nan's gaze swept over the Death God Tower, and he frowned at the countless vengeful spirits swirling around it.
The next moment, the top of the Death God Tower lit up with white light, and countless vengeful spirits vanished. Immediately after, a beam of white light, strong enough to eclipse the sun, shot directly towards Wang Nan.
Wang Nan's first spirit ring lit up, and his figure flickered repeatedly, already having vanished from his original spot. The light streaked across the sky, only hitting the afterimage he left behind. And just as he approached Ye Xishui, and the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand swung down again, Long Xiaoyao reappeared and blocked him once more.
"Alas, why do you make it so difficult for yourself?" Wang Nan sighed.
"I no longer have the heart to distinguish right from wrong; this is what I owe her." Long Xiaoyao also sighed, "Very well, let me see how much you've grown these past few years."
With that said, Long Xiaoyao reached out his hand, and a black Dragon claw slashed through the air, tearing open cracks.
Darkness Energy then assailed Wang Nan. This claw strike was an attack where Long Xiaoyao had completely integrated his will, attributes, and Spirit Ability. As a Limit Douluo, he no longer held back in the slightest.
Wang Nan raised his staff, golden light flowing, and the long staff met the Dragon claw.
Long Xiaoyao, however, frowned slightly at this staff strike.
"Why didn't you use your full power?"
More than two years ago, Wang Nan's single staff strike had more power than this. Now, after more than two years, Long Xiaoyao didn't believe that Wang Nan's power had regressed instead of advancing.
"I promised someone not to use my full power casually, but this is enough."
Wang Nan's expression remained unchanged. A faint golden light suddenly lit up on his wrists, and golden light threads continuously moved across his arms. As the light receded, a pair of armguards appeared on his forearms, with intricately carved Dragon scales that seemed lifelike.
The second spirit ring shone, and Wang Nan's left arm also lit up. spirit power surged, and the pair of armguards on his arm suddenly seemed to come alive, with each scale subtly rising and falling, and golden light emanating from the gaps between the scales.
Long Xiaoyao only felt a massive force transmit through his hand, and his body flew downwards uncontrollably.
Wang Nan spared a glance at his arm, sighing inwardly at Huo Yuhao's Soul Guidance Device talent. Even with the Sun Moon Empire's humanoid Soul Guidance Devices as reference, being able to design and create such a perfectly fitting Soul Guidance Device was not something just anyone could do.
Long Xiaoyao was, after all, a Limit Douluo. With a slight ripple of his spirit power, he stabilized his body. Looking up, Wang Nan's next staff strike was already coming at him.
Wang Nan's strikes did not carry the same Aura as when he used the Unbending Staff Technique, but as the golden Coiling Dragon Staff continuously fell, Long Xiaoyao felt himself constantly being restrained. All his movements seemed to be seen through by Wang Nan, and each swing of the Coiling Dragon Staff landed in the most uncomfortable places for him.
Coupled with the force in Wang Nan's staff, although it seemed to lack the Aura of more than two years ago, it was undoubtedly more difficult to deal with.
Another staff strike landed, and Long Xiaoyao finally couldn't hold on, falling to the ground.
He looked up into the distance. The other several people had already surrounded Ye Xishui. Although the Death God Tower was present, this Soul Guidance Device was clearly more suitable for long-range combat, and did not have a significant advantage in close-quarters battle.
"Alas." Long Xiaoyao let out a long sigh. "I've already reached my end. To die for her now, I have no regrets."
With that, the Aura on his body suddenly completely retracted within him. Everything around him paused for an instant. The next moment, a terrifying Aura erupted from him. A flush of red flashed across his face, and his originally white hair turned black again in that moment.
The wrinkles on his face disappeared, once again revealing his youthful appearance.
