After the Dark Demon Evil Thunder restraints were released, the white incandescent light orb produced would naturally expand to a radius of dozens of kilometers if not deliberately controlled.
Yet Xu Zihuang forcibly compressed it within a diameter of five kilometers. While this reduced the attack range, correspondingly, the energy contained within the white incandescent light orb and its explosive power became even more terrifying. It was hardly inferior to the detonation of a ninth-grade fixed soul cannon.
Smoke and dust swirled around the enormous white incandescent light orb with a five-kilometer diameter, its blinding, dazzling radiance causing the entire heaven and earth here to lose color.
The violent rumbling lasted a full ten-odd seconds before the white incandescent light orb gradually began to dim.
The peak of the Mingdou Mountain Range, nearly three thousand meters high, had now completely vanished, replaced by a bottomless giant crater. Rolling smoke and dust lingered above the crater without dispersing. The Sun Moon Empire's soul masters, near the highest peak of the Mingdou Mountain Range, along with the soul guidance defensive positions they had constructed, were all caught in the residual shockwave of the explosion, sent flying backward, their combat power utterly lost.
Xu Zihuang, his entire body covered in dense black dragon scales, stood calmly in the air with an icy gaze. A pair of bony dragon wings spread behind him. The external soul bone, Evil God Wings, had transformed into identical black demonic patterns, branded across his entire body.
The attack he had just unleashed against Ye Xishui had been executed under the Evil Demon Transformation state.
The titled Douluo on the Star Luo Empire side had received Xu Zihuang's voice transmission warning in advance and promptly retreated away from the core area of the white incandescent light orb. Seeing this scene now, they all secretly swallowed hard.
The power of this soul skill far exceeded their normal understanding. What shocked and shamed them most was that Yu Tianhuang actually dared to face this extremely powerful evil soul master, who was very likely a Limit Douluo, head-on, without falling short in aura at all.
Just this courage was something they themselves lacked.
Xu Zihuang's expression remained indifferent as ever. His brilliant golden eyes opened and closed, locking onto Ye Xishui not far away, who was already teetering on the edge of furious rage.
The blood-colored phantom that had appeared behind Ye Xishui earlier had now fully transitioned from illusory to a real, tangible existence. The blood-colored figure became extremely clear, its height surging from the original hundred meters to a thousand meters, with twelve additional pairs of blood-colored wings sprouting from its back. Rings of blood-colored light spread outward, as if turning the surrounding space into a sea of blood.
Blood Soul Demon Puppet, this was Ye Xishui's martial soul. It required devouring souls to evolve, but once cultivated to great completion, it became an existence comparable to a super martial soul.
Ye Xishui had completely merged with the thousand-meter-tall Blood Soul Demon Puppet, and the massively enlarged blood-red seventh soul ring behind her shone brilliantly.
As a Limit Douluo, she naturally would not be easily severely injured. Although Xu Zihuang's soul skill was immensely powerful, he was ultimately lacking in soul power cultivation.
Still, forcing Ye Xishui to reveal her martial soul's true body was proof enough of the tremendous threat he posed to her.
With her body and soul fused into the Blood Soul Demon Puppet, what manifested was unmistakably Ye Xishui's original appearance. The Blood Soul Demon Puppet looked down upon Xu Zihuang from above. Seeing the full thirteen soul rings floating behind him, even her pupils could not help but contract slightly.
Those were the seven soul rings of the Golden Eyes and the six soul rings of the Purple Radiance Thunder Prison Dragon. Twelve reds and one gold.
Against an enemy like Ye Xishui, Xu Zihuang naturally would not hold anything back.
"Kekekekeke!" Moments later, Ye Xishui suddenly turned from rage to laughter, a shrill, eerie cackle.
"So it's you, little thing. Little Wu mentioned you to me before. Twin martial souls, a spiritual-attribute body martial soul, a variant ultimate thunder martial soul. I never expected that old ghost Mu En could still take in such a prodigiously talented disciple before his death. I must admit, your talent surpasses everyone from our generation back then. Once you grow up, you will surely become a great enemy of our church. But that's only if you can survive my hands today."
"I wonder what kind of expression that old ghost Mu En will have when he sees you in the underworld, learning that you were killed by me? Kid, you're just as pedantic as Mu En. There are plenty of geniuses who die before they mature. Just who gave you the courage?! Hahahahahaha!"
Ye Xishui let out a piercing laugh. The twelve pairs of wings behind her flapped simultaneously as her right hand made a downward slashing motion.
A blood-red claw shadow instantly appeared right in front of Xu Zihuang.
Xu Zihuang's expression never changed from beginning to end. As his right hand lifted, it clenched into a fist. A slightly dim yet more vivid blood-red soul ring rose. The black demonic patterns engraved on his body scales suddenly seemed to come alive, wriggling and extending, their color shifting into a bizarre blood-red.
At the same time, a semi-transparent gray light membrane enveloped his entire body. Inside the membrane, due to the color change of the Evil God Wings' patterns, a blood-red glow permeated.
Purple Inferno Thunder Prison Dragon sixth soul skill: Evil God Guardian!
Evil God Guardian was the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's most powerful defensive soul skill, instantly shrouding the user in the aura of the Evil God for protection. A ten-thousand-year Evil God Guardian soul skill possessed defensive power comparable to Invincible Golden Body, yet with far longer duration, an undisputed superior version of Invincible Golden Body.
When Evil God Guardian was used in conjunction with Evil Demon Transformation, the effects of the two mutually amplified and complemented each other, elevating his offense and defense to an astonishing level.
Xu Zihuang punched out horizontally with casual ease, shattering Ye Xishui's blood-red claw shadow into countless specks of light.
"Though Elder Mu was not my teacher, he was still an elder I respected. Ye Xishui, don't you yourself know exactly what you did back then, you old beast? What right do you have to harbor resentment toward Elder Mu? As the Holy Maiden of the Holy Ghost Church, from the very beginning, your intentions toward Elder Mu and Dragon Emperor Douluo were impure. Later, to drive a wedge between Elder Mu and Dragon Emperor Douluo and make them enemies, you deliberately seduced Dragon Emperor Douluo that night. You shameless old bitch, what are you pretending to be an innocent white lotus here?!"
"Shut up!" Ye Xishui roared furiously, her face twisted in ferocity, looking almost deranged. The torrential sea of blood behind her suddenly boiled, and a terrifying aura as deep as an abyss instantly swept across the entire area.
The already toppled soul guidance devices on the Sun Moon Empire's defensive positions were all swept into the air. As the blood-colored light spread, the remaining eleven titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire were also shaken back several steps.
"Getting poked where it hurts and flying into a rage? You old beast, do you still think you're innocent even now?"
Xu Zihuang stood unmoved, the corners of his mouth curving into a faint arc.
"I really don't understand just what it was about you that attracted Elder Mu and Dragon Emperor Douluo. Dragon Emperor Douluo is still guarding by your side now. If it's because he feels guilty over what happened back then, there's really no need. After all, it was all your scheme."
"Ah! Shut up! I want you to shut up!" Ye Xishui screamed madly, completely losing control. The blood light around her, fused with the Blood Soul Demon Puppet, erupted intensely, transforming into clusters of enormous vengeful spirits in midair.
Each vengeful spirit was the size of a human head, twelve in total.
Blood Soul Great Art, this was Ye Xishui's signature technique. Each blood soul was cultivated over more than a hundred years. Ten thousand vengeful spirits devoured one another under a secret method, and the strongest survivor became a blood soul.
When a blood soul first formed, it was only the size of a fingernail. To grow one to the size of a human head, conservatively speaking, required devouring at least several hundred thousand vengeful spirits.
When such blood souls attacked, their powerful resentment could directly shatter one's soul. Those with insufficient cultivation might even have their souls drawn out by the shrieking and turned into nourishment for the blood souls. Extremely domineering and vicious.
Naturally, these blood souls were closely linked to Ye Xishui's own soul. If the blood souls were destroyed, her soul would suffer a certain degree of backlash.
It was clear she had completely lost her reason and was willing to pay any price to kill Xu Zihuang here and now.
Under Ye Xishui's control, the twelve blood souls tore toward Xu Zihuang. The surging sea of blood rolled like layer upon layer of waves. Wherever the blood sea touched the surrounding mountains, they instantly melted. Some Sun Moon Empire soul mentors who failed to evade were devoured, both soul and blood essence. Even the Star Luo Empire, titled Douluo, led by Star Breaking Douluo, felt an indescribable threat and did not dare approach.
They originally wanted to assist Yu Tianhuang, but their own strength was insufficient.
At that moment, a point of golden-white light silently bloomed within the sea of blood. The golden-white radiance was filled with a gentle, holy aura; anyone bathed in it would feel only warmth and comfort. Yet the layered sea of blood, along with the twelve blood souls released by Ye Xishui, melted away like ice and snow in an instant.
A woman with three pairs of pure white angel wings on her back appeared beside Xu Zihuang at some unknown point.
It was none other than Ye Guyi. Her entire body was bathed in sacred radiance, both hands raised high, holding the Angel Holy Sword. Purifying those twelve blood souls granted her feedback; her soul power cultivation instantly broke through the level 85 bottleneck, and her aura continued rising steadily.
Ye Xishui suffered severe backlash. The thousand-meter-tall Blood Soul Demon Puppet became illusory before shattering with a boom.
The Blood Soul Demon Puppet reverted to its original hundred-meter blood-colored phantom, and Ye Xishui's true body separated from it, her aura greatly weakened.
Seeing events unfold exactly as he had anticipated, Xu Zihuang gave a cold smile.
Though Ye Xishui was a Limit Douluo with formidable strength, her personality had severe flaws. And he had deliberately exploited that point precisely earlier.
Ye Guyi, perfectly in sync with Xu Zihuang, gave Ye Xishui no chance to catch her breath. Her brilliant golden eyes were replaced by a pale silver hue. Strange soul power fluctuations rippled from between her brows, and behind her quietly appeared a pair of pale silver eye phantoms gazing toward Ye Xishui, a thousand meters away.
The near-tangible silver-white spiritual power caused the thousand-meter radius centered on Ye Xishui to suddenly collapse, forming an abyss-like black hole. Within this space, all spiritual power and souls were extinguished in an instant.
three hundred thousand-year Demon Soul Great White Shark King head soul bone skill, Abyssal Silver Eyes!
Bai Xiuxiu possessed a variant ice-attribute Demon Soul Great White Shark, while her mother, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, was likewise a variant soul beast. The attribute her variant produced was spatial power.
This Abyssal Silver Eyes was a powerful area-of-effect soul skill that fused spiritual power and spatial force.
Having condensed a soul core and personally experienced the mysteries of spatial power, Ye Guyi could finally unleash the true might of Abyssal Silver Eyes.
Xu Zihuang's follow-up attack came immediately after.
Purple-gold lightning flashed as the Thunder God Spear appeared in his right hand. The lightning coiling around the spear condensed into a straight light blade stretching a thousand meters.
This was the Thunder Light Blade amplified by the Thunder God Spear.
Xu Zihuang gripped the Thunder God Spear and swept it horizontally. The purple-gold light blade sliced across the temporarily collapsed dark space, leaving behind an indelible purple-gold scar.
Meanwhile, Ye Guyi flapped the three pairs of angel wings behind her and soared upward, raising the Angel Holy Sword high once more.
Behind her, the six-winged angel phantom became solid, as if a true Angel God had descended to the mortal world. A blood-red eighth soul ring bearing three strange golden patterns rose from beneath her feet. The Angel Holy Sword's brilliant blade shone dazzlingly in the night, too bright to look at directly.
The Angel Holy Sword itself showed no overly obvious change, merely gaining a layer of seven-colored halo. Yet when Ye Guyi swung the sword downward, the might of the heaven-shaking sword beam was no weaker than the Thunder Light Blade extending from Xu Zihuang's Thunder God Spear tip.
Sacred Angel martial soul eighth soul skill: Holy Radiance Enfeoffment God Sword!
A thousand-meter sword beam appeared across the sky.
Infused with the holy radiance of the Sacred Unicorn, the sacred attribute contained in Ye Guyi's sword had reached its absolute peak. Like Xu Zihuang, she was executing a ten-thousand-year-grade assault soul skill built upon the foundation of a weapon-type soul skill amplification.
Xu Zihuang swept horizontally while Ye Guyi slashed vertically. The two crossed in a cross pattern, completely severing the collapsed space. Uncontrolled violent spatial power overflowed from the shattered space, and the cracks showed signs of spreading outward.
Ye Guyi intended to press the advantage, but Xu Zihuang pulled her back.
Xu Zihuang stared at the ruined space. Sensing something, his gaze sharpened as he murmured, "Finally decided to show yourself?"
Ye Guyi naturally trusted Xu Zihuang's judgment. Only upon hearing his words did she belatedly realize his earlier intentions.
Darkness descended without warning. The entire world froze in this pitch blackness, and the chaotic spatial fluctuations instantly calmed.
In the next instant, the darkness enveloping the world vanished. Before Ye Xishui now stood a tall, imposing old man who blended perfectly with the surrounding environment, not the slightest sense of dissonance, as though he had always belonged here.
"Dragon Emperor Douluo, Long Xiaoyao." Ye Guyi subconsciously tightened her grip on Xu Zihuang's hand. Now she too, had guessed the old man's identity.
The only two surviving Limit Douluo in the world had appeared here at the same time.
Long Xiaoyao's silver hair was combed meticulously, yet the complex emotions churning in his deep, aged eyes revealed that his heart was far from calm.
Long Xiaoyao turned with difficulty to look at Ye Xishui behind him, whose aura had now steadied.
"Xishui… is what he said true?"
Though Ye Xishui was a Limit Douluo and had suffered severe backlash from the destruction of her twelve natal blood souls, she was still far from losing her combat ability.
However, without Long Xiaoyao's intervention just now, she truly might have allowed Xu Zihuang and Ye Guyi to seize the chance to inflict serious injury.
"You're willing to believe his one-sided story?! If you want to leave, I won't stop you; you can leave anytime!"
Ye Xishui stared at Long Xiaoyao. Her expression suddenly became incomparably ferocious, her gaze turning cold and venomous.
Xu Zihuang gave a mocking smile.
"Verifying whether what I said is true is very simple, Dragon Emperor Douluo. Why don't you go to our Shrek Academy and have Dean Yan test the blood? The truth will naturally become clear."
At these words, Long Xiaoyao froze on the spot, his face full of shock and bewilderment. Ye Xishui, however, stared fixedly at Xu Zihuang, icy killing intent radiating outward, as fear and panic sprang in her heart.
Clearly, the only people who knew about what happened back then were herself and the previous Holy Ghost Church leader. So how could this junior possibly know? Moreover, he explicitly stated that Yan Shaozhe was her and Long Xiaoyao's descendant.
