What Lin Xiao intended to do was, of course, not to shatter the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier head-on.
Just as Kong Deming had said, a Class 10 soul tool had already transcended the limitations of soul engineers, capable of drawing upon the power of heaven and earth.
For Lin Xiao to directly break a Class 10 soul tool with his current cultivation was naturally impossible.
But precisely because the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier borrowed the spatial power between heaven and earth, when space itself was damaged, the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier would likewise be affected.
Lin Xiao's right arm bone was the soul bone that Long Xiaoyao had entrusted Ye Xishui to deliver to him back then.
Although he still did not know whether Long Xiaoyao had done this to keep Ye Xishui alive, or because he still harbored some lingering attachment to the Holy Spirit Cult and did not wish for the power of Electrolux within the statue to fall into the hands of villains.
Regardless, this high-quality hundred-thousand-year soul bone had ultimately ended up in his possession, and one of the soul skills it granted him was precisely this power capable of tearing space apart.
It was also thanks to this soul bone that his soul power rank had been able to rise to rank 94 in such a short time.
Just as Lin Xiao had anticipated, when space was torn apart, a crack appeared in the Silver Moon Divine Light Barrier, and that single crack was already enough for him to break free.
Fully unleashing the soul bone skill, the violent and dark sensation from the soul bone surged into Lin Xiao's mind in an instant.
He was unsure whether this was the inherent power within the soul bone or if the soul bone had undergone some changes after being influenced by Long Xiaoyao.
But as someone who possessed the Ultimate Death attribute, Lin Xiao felt something similar to what Kong Deming had experienced moments ago; in that instant, the killing and destruction brought the purest form of death.
His right palm swept forward with the might to rip space apart, and several defensive soul tools around Kong Deming shattered instantly, along with the space itself.
Kong Deming's heart jolted in shock. He looked up slightly, his eyes already turned completely silver-white. The bright moon in the sky shone brilliantly, resonating with the light emanating from his body.
But in the next moment, Lin Xiao suddenly felt an epiphany. His spiritual sea surged violently, storms raged in the world of the dead, and his spiritual power fused perfectly with his soul power.
A violent aura of death burst forth from within him. In an instant, boundless darkness enveloped heaven and earth. The palace's illumination soul tools seemed to extinguish all at once, and even the moon in the sky met its own demise.
Kong Deming, about to unleash a soul skill, was abruptly interrupted by Lin Xiao. He looked up, only to see pitch-black darkness everywhere. Even his Moon martial soul had vanished, leaving no trace of that bright moon.
Lin Xiao had no time to observe the changes around him. He closed his eyes slightly, carefully savoring the sensation of this moment.
This was not a soul skill, yet it surpassed any soul skill.
If his combat technique Withering represented the destined end of all living beings, the silent call of lingering souls yearning for their return, then his other combat technique Funeral Flower was death arriving ahead of time, enough to awaken the instinctive fear of death etched into every living being.
But the power he wielded now was different from his martial soul, the Other Shore Flower. It did not grow on the banks of the Yellow Springs, awaiting the arrival of the dead. It was direct. It was powerful. Regardless of whether the target was a living being, it would bring "death" to the world.
Even heaven and earth, sun and moon, even intangible light were no exception.
Kong Deming's heart sank into utter gloom. Moments ago, he had breathed a sigh of relief at trapping Lin Xiao, but now he himself felt imprisoned.
It was not that something restricted his movement, but that in this instant, everything around him seemed to vanish because of death. He no longer knew where to plant his feet.
Boom—
Just as Kong Deming was at a loss for how to respond, a dazzling beam of light pierced through the darkness before his eyes. The moon reappeared in the sky, and in that instant, Kong Deming once again sensed the presence of his martial soul.
He turned his head and saw that the Imperial Soul Engineer Legion had finally arrived late. Nearly a hundred figures, all clad in humanoid soul tools, still had lingering traces of the light from their recent attack.
"Follow my command!"
Kong Deming suddenly shouted.
For some reason, even though the Imperial Soul Engineer Legion had arrived, Kong Deming felt no relief whatsoever.
Perhaps the sensation of nearing death from Lin Xiao's earlier strike had left too deep an impression, or perhaps the fact that he could only withstand Lin Xiao's attack with the full force of the Imperial Soul Engineer Legion made him unable to view Lin Xiao as an ordinary Titled Douluo anymore.
In almost an instant, the entire Imperial Soul Engineer Legion subtly merged with Kong Deming as one.
The suddenly rising aura snapped Lin Xiao back to his senses, and his expression changed drastically.
Why had he used the Death God Tower to draw the Sun Moon Empire's attention outside Mingdu City? It was not only to make it easier for him to approach Xu Tianran's study, but also because he did not want to see Kong Deming unite with the Imperial Soul Engineer Legion.
With memories from his previous life, he knew all too well that Kong Deming possessed the ability to channel the full power of the entire soul engineer legion onto himself alone.
That single strike would surpass even the Limit Douluo level, reaching the realm of gods.
Thoughts flashed rapidly through his mind. Suddenly, Lin Xiao's ninth soul ring blazed with light.
Blood-red radiance intertwined with gray patterns rising around it. A pure white, snow-like figure abruptly rushed out from behind Lin Xiao.
Kong Deming felt a chill run through him, not a warning of danger to his body, but true, bone-piercing cold.
Behind him, the members of the Imperial Soul Engineer Legion, despite their humanoid soul tools being capable of resisting most harsh weather, could not help but tremble slightly under this extreme chill.
At the same time, Lin Xiao's face suddenly paled.
Although he had obtained the unique "soul core" known as the Plane of the Dead with his teacher's help, he had first dragged seven Titled Douluo, including Xu Tianran, into his domain, then fully unleashed his combat techniques, and now summoned the Snow Empress with her seven-hundred-thousand-year cultivation using his ninth soul skill.
Even for him, his soul power was nearly depleted.
To charge alone into the Sun Moon Empire's imperial palace and face Kong Deming, this Class 10 soul engineer, along with several Titled Douluo, was indeed no easy task.
Now that the Imperial Soul Engineer Legion had returned to reinforce them, with their support, Kong Deming was practically invincible.
However...
Lin Xiao suddenly glanced back. Not far behind him, Xu Tianran's eyes bulged wide, his body shuddering violently.
"This—"
He only managed to utter one word before his body collapsed backward uncontrollably.
But Lin Xiao's goal had already been achieved.
In the soul domain that Kong Deming could not see, though facing seven souls, Lin Xiao had never been at a disadvantage. After all, only within the soul domain could the souls around him unleash their full power.
Who truly had the numbers advantage, and who was outnumbered? That was still uncertain.
