Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui stood on the competition stage, her pair of eyes full of evil aura currently sizing up Wang Dong'er before her.
A complex emotion surged within her gaze, as if she were looking through Wang Dong'er's young face to see herself from many years ago.
At that time, she was just as young and beautiful as Wang Dong'er.
The most unforgettable time of her life was the time spent together with Long Xiaoyao and Mu En. Back then, the three of them had also met at the Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament across the entire continent, competing against each other and displaying their strength.
That was one of the rare bright moments in her life, but everything could no longer return.
Now standing on this competition stage, Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui had only one purpose, and that was to finish off Wang Dong'er.
To be honest, Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui quite envied Wang Dong'er.
Fate seemed to have given Wang Dong'er everything; she possessed beauty, had friends who seemed to have a good relationship with her, and did not need to be troubled about being born in a place like the Holy Spirit Cult. Furthermore, no one would even threaten her to do things she was unwilling to do.
The resources behind Wang Dong'er were also so immense. Having dominated Douluo Continent for so many years, Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui had never seen anyone directly Cultivate a Spirit King to be so strong. After putting on those strange armors, their strength would abruptly soar upwards completely unreasonably.
Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui clenched her fists tight, her inner envy gradually transforming into jealousy bit by bit.
"Why?"
"Why should I be treated this way?"
"Why did Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui have to be born in such a place, be forced onto the path of an Evil Soul Master, and fail the person she deeply loved?"
"Why could Wang Dong'er stand beneath the sunlight and possess everything?"
Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui's breathing grew rapid, a crimson light flashing across her eyes as her killing intent soared to the heavens.
Seeing this scene before her, Wang Dong'er couldn't help but brace herself, understanding Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui's mindset.
After all, if Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui lost the match, she would die, so it was quite normal for Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui to harbor killing intent toward her.
However, Wang Dong'er did not intend to sit back and await her doom either.
Behind her, the Light Goddess Butterfly Spirit was released at this moment, and a pair of blue-golden butterfly wings unfolded from her back, shimmering with dazzling radiance.
Immediately afterward, a layer of silver-white battle armor covered Wang Dong'er's entire body. That set of battle armor was concise and smooth, with a few lifelike butterfly patterns engraved on the shoulder and chest armor, their wings slightly spread.
Upon seeing Wang Dong'er's actions, Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui also moved.
"Blood Soul Demonic Puppet!"
Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui let out a low cry, and nine Spirit Rings—six black and three red—directly rose from beneath Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui's feet, brimming with a sense of oppressive might.
Behind her, the figure of the Blood Soul Demonic Puppet also appeared. In fact, right at the very beginning, Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Demonic Puppet was not called the Blood Soul Demonic Puppet; it was only after having relations with that fellow Zhongli Old Ghost that her Spirit mutated.
Her second Spirit, the Bright Phoenix, had never been cultivated. If it had been the Blood Soul Demonic Puppet Spirit from the very beginning, when she met Mu En and the others back then, she would have long since been beaten to death as an Evil Soul Master.
Long Xiaoyao within the Holy Spirit Cult looked at this scene before him, his eyes filled with heartache. He was the second person in this World to know about this matter; even Zhongli Old Ghost did not know that Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui had a second Spirit.
And it was even the Bright Phoenix, which symbolized justice. How tragic it was that someone who possessed the Bright Phoenix actually turned out to be an Evil Soul Master.
The moment the Blood Soul Demonic Puppet appeared, everyone could feel the dense resentment emanating from that Spirit.
Those were the people killed by Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui, possessing tens of thousands of grievances. Those grievances condensed together, as if countless wronged Souls were shrieking miserably.
Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui raised her hand, condensing a cluster of blood-red light within her palm.
"Blood Soul Grand Technique."
Her voice was hoarse and icy.
As her words fell, strips of blood-red light clusters shot out from her palm, suspended in mid-air.
Every single one of those blood Souls had undergone hundreds of years of Cultivate, formed by ten thousand vengeful Spirits devouring each other through secret arts, and only the strongest remaining in the end could become a blood Soul. Moreover, that blood Soul would still need to devour more vengeful Spirits over a long period to become even stronger.
Those blood Souls hovered in the air like beating hearts, emitting intense resentful power.
Wang Dong'er's brows furrowed slightly.
She had never seen such a terrifying means. The resentful power emitted by those blood Souls was quite powerful, and one careless mistake could affect a person's Soul.
Wang Dong'er took a deep breath, then suddenly opened her eyes.
"Purple Demon Eye."
A flash of purple light suddenly swept across her eyes. That light vanished in a flash, yet it made her vision exceptionally clear, and the movements of all those blood Souls were clearly presented before her eyes.
Immediately following this, light flashed in Wang Dong'er's hand, and a golden spear appeared in her palm. This was the Golden Dragon Spear. Lin Feng had stipulated that Spirit Tools above Level 9 Spirit Tools could not be used in this match, but there were no restrictions regarding the Golden Dragon Spear.
After all, although the Golden Dragon Spear was quite formidable, it still depended on the user's own capabilities to determine how much power could be unleashed.
When Wang Dong'er saw those blood Souls, a thought arose in her heart: since the Golden Dragon Spear could deal with Abyssal Creatures, then... could it also deal with these blood Souls before her?
After all, although these blood Souls could emit Mental Shock and endless resentment, fundamentally speaking, they were nothing more than clusters of life energy.
Wang Dong'er tightly gripped the Golden Dragon Spear and abruptly dashed forward.
Her speed was extremely fast. The blue-golden wings flapped behind her, dragging out a dazzling light trail as her spear thrust forth like a Dragon.
The tip of the Golden Dragon Spear pierced into a cluster of blood Souls. That blood Soul let out a miserable screech, and then the entire blood Soul was completely absorbed by the Golden Dragon Spear, subsequently providing feedback to Wang Dong'er.
"Effective!"
A bright look flashed across Wang Dong'er's eyes. Without stopping her movement, she continuously waved the Golden Dragon Spear, thrusting spear after spear toward those blood Souls suspended in mid-air.
With every spear that fell, a cluster of blood Souls was directly absorbed by Wang Dong'er.
Furthermore, Wang Dong'er had already prepared mental defenses when facing these blood Souls. The impacts of these grievances had an effect on Wang Dong'er, but it was not significant, especially since every time the Golden Dragon Spear absorbed a blood Soul, it could provide positive feedback to Wang Dong'er, alleviating her consumption.
Seeing this scene, Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui's expression abruptly changed.
Those blood Souls were something she had spent hundreds of years creating! They were one of her trump card means!
Yet today, they were actually casually pierced through by a golden spear!
She watched helplessly as her blood Souls were absorbed by Wang Dong'er cluster by cluster, subsequently becoming wedding garments for someone else.
Supreme Patriarch Ye Xishui's heart was bleeding. She fiercely gritted her teeth, brought her hands together in front of her, and the Spirit Power within her body crazily surged outward.
"Boundless Blood Sea!"
Following this furious roar of hers, towering blood-colored giant waves spread out from beneath her feet.
That blood sea surged and galloped, enveloping a dense fishy stench and endless resentment, resembling an ocean condensed from fresh blood as it swept overwhelmingly toward Wang Dong'er with an imposing momentum.
Seeing this scene from off the stage, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but feel her heart tighten, thinking to herself that Wang Dong'er must not run into trouble.
Xiao Wu within the Divine Realm was even more so; her gaze locked tightly onto the light screen, her eyes filled with tension and worry.
Wang Dong'er was her daughter, after all; how could she bear to watch Wang Dong'er get into trouble?
