Rei sat down on a chair in the main hall as he gestured for the sword douluo to explain the current situation."I"ve gotten word from our spies that the spirit hall is having suspicious movements. Mainly deploying their top spirit master"s to the near by bases close to the seven kill mountain. They seemed to have roped in other clans as well. The most dangerous is the blue lightning tyrant dragon clan. Several of their elder"s and disciples have been seen to be with the spirit hall." The sword douluo said with a heavy expression.
"We"ve never went against the spirit hall! Why are they against us!?" An elder shouted as he slammed his hands on the chair.
"Do you know when they will attack." Rei asked cutting straight to the main task at hand.
"Earliest will be tonight." The sword douluo said.
"How many t.i.tled douluo"s do you think they have?" Rei asked.
"From what we have estimated, I"d say spirit hall controls more than 20 t.i.tled douluos and that is a mere estimate from what we have seen. Who knows if they have more." The sword douluo sighed.
"20 t.i.tled douluos...I should make my 5th ring quickly so that it can deal with cannon fodder. Then we"ll be able to focus on the t.i.tled douluo"s" Rei thought.
"How many douluo"s are you able to hold back?" Rei asked the sword douluo.
"With the help of the elder"s we should be able to hold back around 3 for a short time." The sword douluo replied with a heavy sigh. With their entire force, they could only hold back 3 t.i.tled douluo"s and that"s not to say about the other t.i.tled douluo"s that could join in.
"Hmm, forget about the douluo"s, I can handle them. Just focus on the cannon fodder." Rei said as he stood up.
"Arrogant!" A elder could help but shout. In this difficult time, the youth still dared to say he can handle 20 t.i.tled douluo"s.
"Am I really?" Rei said as he unleashed the aura of a rank 98 t.i.tled douluo causing the elder to sit down heavily.
"Each upgrade in rank for the t.i.tled douluo"s is a huge gap in power. Currently I can kill a rank 98 t.i.tled douluo. Do you think a few rank 90-95 average douluo"s can defeat me?" Rei said as he walked out of the hall.
Jumping up to the roof of the highest tower, Rei made sure that no one can see him cultivate as he laid down barriers.
Opening up his palm, Rei gathered energy as golden red streaks of light twirled slowly into the shape of a ring in Rei"s palms. Red light filled the area but no one noticed. Looking at the ring, Rei was able to see the forms of different weapons and armours to an anvil and hammer in the centre of the ring.

Rei smiled as he looked at one of his first abilities he had ever gotten. Using qi, Rei started to trace out several n.o.ble phantasm"s to test their drain on spirit energy. Enkidu, Caladbolg, Excalibur, Phoebus catastrophe and Gae Bolg.
Rei retracted the n.o.ble phantasms as he checked his status after creating the ring.

"The rate of ageing my rings are going faster now. I should be able to-!! Aiko has used her 2nd life saving barrier..." Rei thought as he frowned feeling his seal he made for Aiko lose another life saving barrier.
"She only has 3 life saving barriers left." Rei frowned before shaking his head.
"Let"s just hope that these three are enough for her." Rei sighed as he stood up. He could feel the approach of a large number of people with in his spread out senses and the highest chance would be that they"re the spirit hall.
Jumping off the roof, Rei landed as he saw that the sword douluo walked out with a frown.
"So you felt it as well." Rei said to which the sword douluo nodded.
"SEVEN KILL SWORD DISCIPLES GATHER!!" The sword douluo shouted as alarms rang out with disciples running out one after another and gathered at the main area.
"SPIRIT HALL SEEMS TO WANT OUR DEATH BUT WHO ARE WE?! WE ARE THE SEVEN KILL SWORD CLAN! WE ARE FEARED AMONG THE CONTINENT FOR OUR SPIRITS! EVEN IF WE LOSE WE SHALL TAKE THE SPIRIT HALL DOWN WITH US!" The sword douluo shouted out.
"SEVEN KILL SWORD CLAN!!"
"SEVEN KILL SWORD CLAN!!"
"SEVEN KILL SWORD CLAN!!"
The disciples started to shout out as each of them summoned their essence spirit"s and pointed them into the air.
"You know that high morale can only do so much in the face of a power like the spirit hall right?" Rei asked giving the sword douluo as side glance.
"I know. I"ve already sent a few of our member"s away to the seven treasured glaze tower clan. Hopefully my clan can survive this even if it is away from here." The sword douluo said with a resigned expression.
"So you have that little amount of trust in me." Rei said as he looked towards where the enemy would arrive.
"It"s not that, but rather it"s better to have a fail safe." The sword douluo said as he too summoned his seven kill sword.
"Well just remember your job, I"ll take care of the rest." Rei said as he saw the approaching enemy.
Jumping up, Rei activated the avatar of Atlas and mixed it with his heavenly demon a.s.sault mode. The t.i.tled douluo"s on the spirit hall"s side also activated their power"s as dragons, serpents and weapon spirit"s could be seen on a smaller scale in size compared to Rei"s avatar which stood heads and shoulders above their"s.
"Let"s see how you t.i.tled douluo"s match up to me." Rei said as he summoned tengoku and kyoki.
Das.h.i.+ng towards the crowd of t.i.tled douluo"s Rei used faded steps as he disappeared and reappeared within their ranks.
"s.h.i.+t! DIE!" One of the t.i.tled douluo"s shouted as he swung his sword spirit at Rei.
*CLANG!
The sword didn"t even lay a scratch as he bounced off of the armour.
Fire meteors started to shoot towards Rei as he used his sin of gluttony to eat the fire and destroy the meteor using his sword. Coating both swords in fire, Rei twisted his body causing a ring of fire to shoot out killing hundred"s of spirit master"s and a few t.i.tled douluo"s before they could even react.
"Holy s.h.i.+t...." Some of the seven kill sword disciples muttered seeing Rei"s power.
"Are we even needed?" One of the elder"s said as he looked at the fight.
"Enough! We need to take care of the other spirit master"s while Rei holds off the t.i.tled douluo"s." The sword douluo shouted as he charged into the enemy army.
"Got it CHARGE!" An elder shouted as they too launched into action.
Rei on the other hand, were parrying the continuous attacks of the t.i.tled douluo"s using his absolute zone.
"ENKIDU!" Rei shouted as he put his new ring to use. Golden chains shot out from around Rei as it restrained the t.i.tled douluo"s near him. Due to his current reserves, Rei couldn"t afford to use enkidu too much.
"GAE BOLG!" Rei summoned the crimson lance as he dismissed tengoku and kyoki. Wielding the lance in his hands, Rei attacked the restrained douluo"s quickly as he flowed through attack after attack.
*BOOOMMMM!!!
Rei ate the lightning that was shot towards him as he coated Gae Bolg in lightning. Stabbing the lance downwards, Rei created a large net of lightning shocking and paralysing the t.i.tled douluo"s in his range.
Rei then twisted his body as he threw the lance towards the group of t.i.tled douluo"s. Black and crimson energy flared from the lance as it shot towards the t.i.tled douluo"s.
Several douluo"s were pierced as their essence spirit"s broke and faded leaving their corpses to fall to the ground.
The lance flew upwards as it twirled and flew back into Rei"s hand. Spinning the lance in his hands, Rei positioned the lance in a attacking position as he stared down at the remaining douluo"s.
The leader of this attack had a ugly expression on his face as he saw Rei kill several t.i.tled douluo"s easily. Looking at the figure in front of him, taller than a mountain, clad in black and red armour, It"s glowing eyes and deep red lance. It was the exact image of a war G.o.d if one were to ask what it looked like.
What"s worse, the leader could clearly tell that Rei was only a spirit king (50-60) yet his power surpa.s.sed an average douluo"s at 90-95 in rank.
"We can"t let him live. He is already a threat to t.i.tled douluo"s at spirit king level, we can"t let him get stronger." The leader said as he got a soldier to send the message out for more reinforcements.
"Yu Tian Guan! Co operate with our spirit hall. We can"t allow this anomaly to live!" The leader shouted towards the t.i.tled douluo from the blue lightning tyrant dragon clan.
Yu Tian Guan nodded with a frown as he too knew what an existence like Rei meant if he were to leave and get stronger.
Four t.i.tled douluo"s moved besides Yu Tian Guan as they prepared to do a spirit fusion technique.
Rei grinned as he saw how five douluo"s wanted to fuse.
"It has been too long since I fought an army and strong opponents I might have become soft." Rei said as everyone could hear him.
"Entertain me!" Rei shouted as energy flared around him. Unknown to Rei, his asura war G.o.d spirit started to appear as it mixed with his current avatar. The avatar grew more life like as suppression power could be felt radiate from the giant. Rei"s domain spread out as the enemies felt their power"s weaken.
"Domain type?!" Yu Tian Guan said as he frowned heavily. It was rare to gain a domain skill in the douluo continent yet Rei was able to get his hand"s on such a strong domain. However, if Yu Tian Guan knew that Rei had more domains in store he would probably give up fighting. This is because each domain would stack with each other including the debuffs which could result in him being entirely powerless.
"SPIRIT FUSION! ANCIENT ELEMENTAL TYRANT DRAGON!" Yu Tian Guan shouted as golden light descended down from the skies illuminating the area as a five headed dragon with golden scales appeared. Each head as a different colour to mixed with gold to signify it"s elemental nature.
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!" Rei laughed out in mockery. Of all the things they chose, they went for the element route.
"You just doomed yourself. But since you want to be a dragon I"ll entertain you." Rei said as he dismissed Gae Bolg.
"Come! Dawn of Ruin : GRAM!" Rei shouted as he summoned the sword gram. But he wasn"t done as red energy gathered at it other hand.
"Thou dragon with sin, ASCALON!" Rei shouted once more as the dragon slaying sword appeared in his hand. Yu Tian Guan frowned as he felt his spirit tremble from the fear it felt towards the sword Rei just summoned.
Rei brought the two swords together as he grinned. The two swords melted into liquid as it started to merge. Yu Tian Guan wanted to intervene but couldn"t as they needed to synchronise the fusion otherwise it would break apart.
"Dragon slaying demon sword! DRACONIAN GRAM!" Rei said as a new sword appeared in his hands. It had a pitch black blade with veins of azure and red run down it"s length. On it"s hilt had the carvings of dragons and it was decorated with a deep scarlet jewel.
Rei"s avatar heaved the sword onto it"s shoulder as it held the shape and weight of a great sword.
"Ancient elemental tyrant dragon meet Draconian Gram. Draconian Gram meet your next victim." Rei said with a battle ready grin.
