"Long Xiaoyao," Su Ming stated his name calmly.
Hearing this, Long Xiaoyao's eyes narrowed.
"Since you know it's me, you still dare to appear before me?" He scanned his surroundings; his spiritual power and spirit power were already released, but he couldn't detect any other Body Sect Elders.
Moreover, from a subconscious perspective, he also couldn't sense any locking by the Nine-Ring Spirit Cannons. Cultivating to his level, he would have a sudden premonition of some deadly threat.
In the distance, Du Busi, who was suppressing Feng Ling, turned his head, looking towards this mountain peak.
Elder Lei Zhen and others also rapidly converged towards the peak. The Spirit Engineer Legion also detected Long Xiaoyao's powerful spirit power and swiftly began a new positioning.
They weren't targeting him before; now they were starting to surround and kill him.
Long Xiaoyao smiled.
"Within a short time, I can kill..." "You." As he spoke, a flash of killing intent appeared in his eyes. The next instant, he attacked directly. A dragon's roar echoed throughout the entire mountain range. Whether the Spirit Engineer Legion or the Body Sect Elders arrived, their actions were forcibly interrupted by this dragon roar.
At Long Xiaoyao's feet, nine Spirit Rings appeared one after another. Two Yellow, two Purple, three Black, two Red. An exceptionally standard combination for a powerful being.
With such a configuration achieving Limit Douluo, Long Xiaoyao was top-tier in all other aspects.
"The Evil Reflection Mirror can't reflect your evil, doesn't mean you aren't an Evil Spirit Master," Su Ming sneered. He glanced at Long Xiaoyao's nine Spirit Rings. From the two Yellow rings, it was evident that Long Xiaoyao had never touched the Holy Spirit Cult's secret techniques, hadn't undergone Spirit Ascension.
But so what?
"Adding the Holy Spirit Cult itself amplifies the Evil Spirit..." "Masters' arrogance." How much smoother would the Holy Spirit Cult's development be because of one Limit Douluo's joining? The extra benefits gained because of this, Long Xiaoyao didn't take a single one. Was that his nobility? The Evil Spirit Masters became stronger, big brother! "Being a whore while trying to appear virtuous." (Acting shamelessly while trying to appear virtuous.)
Su Ming's words enraged Long Xiaoyao.
If ordinary people said it, fine. He had long endured such ideological torment.
But Su Ming was different.
He was practically the leader of the Douluo Continent's Spirit Master world now, leading Spirit Master development. As the inventor of the Evil Reflection Mirror, he had the final say over Evil Spirit Masters.
If Su Ming said he was an Evil Spirit Master, then he was.
This would become the continent's consensus. No tolerance whatsoever because he upheld his bottom line.
"You truly seek death!" Long Xiaoyao roared. A pitch-black domain instantly enveloped the mountain peak. His fifth, sixth, and seventh Spirit Rings flashed simultaneously. He transformed into a dark dragon, its eyes becoming vertical slits, its dark golden pupils fixed on Su Ming. Dark power permeated the surroundings, forming a terrifying dragon claw, viciously grabbing down towards Su Ming.
"I dared to come and ambush you, of course I have confidence." Su Ming possessed dual Spirit Cores. There was no fundamental difference between him and Long Xiaoyao. Two and a half years ago, before Su Ming broke through level 60, he already overwhelmed Shrek, easily defeating Zhang Lexuan who used desperate methods with Spirit King-level cultivation, displaying combat power that subtly reached Super Douluo.
And that was the strength he displayed back then. He hadn't even used Martial Soul Second Awakening then.
Now, after two and a half years, his progress is undeniable.
From five rings to six rings, plus these two and a half years where his three true selves, using the Douluo 3, within his own spiritual domain, repeatedly immersed himself in the River of Time. He seemingly experienced only two and a half years, but in reality, he traversed an even longer period. Even if the level for Super Douluos differed greatly, and level 98 to 99 was a divine curse, Su Ming during this time had at least undergone a transformation from five to six rings, plus his never-before-externally-displayed Battle Armor. Even facing Long Xiaoyao, he possessed a certain degree of confidence. That is to say, he was now close to his limit. On this Douluo Star, there were few strong individuals who could make Su Ming wary.
Facing Long Xiaoyao's dark dragon claw, he dared not be careless. His body was enveloped in golden Spirit Power. Seeing the golden Spirit Power erupt from Su Ming's body, Long Xiaoyao's eyes showed surprise. This was Martial Soul Second Awakening? His Martial Soul was Spirit Power! Golden Spirit Power, was that Gold-level Second... Awakening?
How could it be? Gold-level Second Awakening for a Body Martial Soul shouldn't be possible until the nine rings, right?
These thoughts flashed through Long Xiaoyao's mind.
Actually, these thoughts weren't particularly strong. After all, it was just Martial Soul Second Awakening, normal for a Body Sect disciple like Su Ming. Even having Gold-level Second Awakening early could be understood, after all, Su Ming was also unprecedented.
However, Su Ming's surprise didn't stop there.
On Su Ming's body, clusters of dazzling light points appeared.
His brow, shoulders, hands, chest, waist, legs, and feet all shimmered with dazzling spiritual light. These light clusters swiftly transformed into armor components, connecting and resonating with each other. In an instant, a set of Two-Word Battle Armor fused with Su Ming.
And with the Battle Armor fusion, Su Ming's aura rose again. His Spirit His power surged out of nowhere. In an instant, his aura had already approached Long Xiaoyao's Spirit Power aura. Whether in quality or quantity, it had reached its limit!
Long Xiaoyao's pupils contracted, his vertical pupils shrinking to slits.
"How is this possible?"
"Nothing is impossible!" Su Ming's Two-Word Battle Armor glowed a white-gold color, mirroring his golden Spirit Power.
Just now, simultaneously with Gold-With the fusion of Level Second Awakening and Two-Word Battle Armor, the Chaos Domain had already opened.
"Chaos Power!"
Using Chaos as the source, he integrated all power.
Behind him, a projection of his true body appeared.
Second Martial Soul, Body Martial Soul.
Without using the Douluo 1 Su Ming's power, Su Ming only used the Body Martial Soul's properties to enhance himself.
Qi and Blood soared into the sky.
"Supreme Shockwave Fist!"
Fist and claw clashed. The entire mountain peak exploded at that moment. Countless fragments of rock shot out in all directions from the peak.
"Long Xiaoyao, you dare attack my disciple!" Du Busi roared, crippling half of Feng Ling's body with a single punch, then dragging her as he flew through the air. The Spirit Engineer Legion's Nine-Ring Spirit Cannons also activated one by one, ready to lock onto Long Xiaoyao at any moment.
If Su Ming weren't nearby, Nine-Ring Spirit Cannon fire would have already washed the ground.
The legion gathering here was the Sun Moon Empire's Imperial Dragon Spirit Engineer Legion. Its commander, Xu Tianyuan, was a level 93 Titled Douluo personally controlling two Nine-Ring Spirit Cannons.
Besides Xu Tianyuan, there were two deputy commanders, both Titled Douluos and Nine-Ring Spirit Engineers.
Beyond the legion, Su Ming had also invited three Nine-Ring Spirit Engineers from the Mingde Hall for this operation.
Pre-charged fixed-mounted Spirit Cannon shells were too laborious to activate and were easy to dodge. This was because, though they could be charged in advance, they generally didn't match the Spirit Power of the activating Spirit Engineer and couldn't control it perfectly.
But at the moment, these Nine-Ring Spirit Engineers' cannons were filled with fixed shells and just charged with their respective Spirit Power.
Nine-Ring!
At least one-third of the Sun Moon Empire's entire stock of Nine-Ring fixed shells They were mobilized on-site.
