Feeling the spiritual lock-ons from the Nine-Ring Spirit Engineers, Long Xiaoyao's face changed drastically. Too many unexpected events. Su Ming suddenly appeared behind him, intercepting him. Then, he unleashed Limit Douluo-level combat power, entangled with him. And precisely because Su Ming was holding him back, it gave Du Busi and the Nine-Ring Spirit Engineers their chance. He should have left immediately! Long Xiaoyao regretted it. He had underestimated Su Ming. Of course, it wasn't his fault. After all, who could think a Spirit Emperor could directly confront a Limit Douluo? However, now was not the time for regret. Long Xiaoyao's immediate priority was to escape the encirclement. He looked up at the sky, the dark wings on his back vibrated, and he soared into the sky. Dark power continued to spread further. A power suppressing spiritual detection appeared. Everything within the domain became dim, especially the core area, unable to be spiritually locked. "Anyway."
Su Ming's eyebrows rose.
This Long Xiaoyao's application of the dark element had already reached the level of Laws, uncovering the unique characteristics of the dark element.
His direct strength was definitely at the Semi-Divine (Half-God) level.
"However, with Semi-Divine power, do you think you can come and go as you please?"
Su Ming sneered.
His torso erupted with a brilliant light.
Spirit Bone Skill—Evil-Cleaning Domain-Sundering Divine Light!
Su Ming's torso bone was a product of fusing the Three-Star Secret Art Spirit Bone equivalent to a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone with the hundred-thousand-year Holy Light Dragon torso bone left by Mu En's death.
He took the Holy Light Dragon bone's source of light, removed the dragon bloodline, and compensated for the Three-Star Secret Art Spirit Bone's deficiencies.
This Evil-Cleaning Domain-Sundering Divine Light wasn't the original Spirit Bone. This Spirit Bone Skill, a newly conceived Soul Skill, is a manifestation of the Holy Light Dragon Bone. Of course, it's also influenced by Mu En. Evil-Cleaving specifically counters evil forces. Domain-Sundering targets domain-type skills. These two aspects alone make this Spirit Bone Skill a powerful offensive Soul Skill. Even if the opponent wasn't an Evil Spirit Master or didn't use a domain, its power was astonishing. Moreover, Long Xiaoyao possessed both. Darkness was not synonymous with evil. But before this light-attribute Soul Skill, darkness and evil were equal!
Long Xiaoyao, who had just shielded himself using the Dark Silence Domain, paled. He looked below. A blinding divine light shot towards him.
"How is it so similar to Mu En's Dragon Emperor's Evil-Cleaving Sunder and Dragon Emperor's Domain-Shaking Realm?" The dark power outside his body rapidly converged, merging with the Spirit Power erupting from within. His eighth Spirit Ring was released. A blinding red light.
"Eighth Spirit Skill—Holy Dragon's Sanctuary!"
Boom! The dark domain was torn apart. Long Xiaoyao flew towards the distance without hesitation.
On the ground, a blinding light erupted, like a sun rising.
A deafening roar echoed across the earth.
This was a Nine-Ring Fixed Spirit Cannon Shell!
The launcher—Xu Tianyuan.
Even Du Busi slowed his pace. The power of a Nine-Ring Fixed Shell was immense. The blast radius would be extremely wide. Getting too close would lead to collateral damage.
Su Ming also time-traveled, moving away from the epicenter of the explosion.
Long Xiaoyao glanced coldly back at Xu Tianyuan, his dragon claw slashing down in mid-air.
"Eighth Spirit Skill—Tear Space!"
Space tore apart. The fixed shell exploded prematurely in mid-air.
Simultaneously, Long Xiaoyao also swiftly disappeared into another spatial rift. The shell's explosion naturally distorted space.
However, Even with the distortion, the damage sustained within the spatial rift was much lower than in reality. In the distance, Long Xiaoyao's figure burst from space, wounds from spatial fragments slashing across his body. He flew towards the Evil Demon Forest without looking back.
Su Ming looked at Du Busi.
"Chase!" Two chasing, one fleeing. The Spirit Engineer Legion below didn't follow.
Xu Tianyuan stared at the three disappearing on the horizon, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes.
"Nine-Ring Fixed Spirit Cannon Shells are touted as Limit Douluo's full-power strike, but ultimately fall short." The total damage is definitely up to par.
But it's too simplistic. As long as it's not hit head-on, the damage suffered index decreases.
"The Body Sect's power is too strong. Soon it will become another Holy Spirit Cult." His eyes flashed with worry.
Not knowing where the Sun Moon Empire should go.
Master and disciple pursued Long Xiaoyao, exchanging blows multiple times. Long... Xiaoyao, due to his conservative tactics, fought and retreated, finally reaching the Evil Demon Forest's outskirts.
"Alright, your task is also complete." Su Ming traversed time and space, within the River of Time, using the power of fate to seal off the surrounding space. At this moment, except for him, no one could use a teleportation-type soul skill. Long Xiaoyao's expression changed slightly; his dragon claw tore through space, but only opened a small crack.
He stared at Su Ming, shocked and angry: "You could have stopped me earlier!"
"To cut the weeds, you must eliminate the roots. Killing you but leaving Ye Xishuǐ would mean the continent would never have peace. Better to kill them both," Su Ming said calmly.
"Xishuǐ, run!" Long Xiaoyao roared. He didn't know why Su Ming and Du Busi, just two people chasing after him, had the confidence to kill him and Ye Xishuǐ simultaneously, but that didn't stop him from trusting Su Ming. Su Ming had given him too many shocks today. Since this killing trap had been set up... They would leave no opening.
"She won't run." Su Ming's smile was radiant.
Would Ye Xishuǐ abandon Long Xiaoyao and run alone? Impossible. Because Ye Xishuǐ had loved him from beginning to end.
Not only loved him, but also felt guilty towards him.
How could she possibly abandon Long Xiaoyao and run away now?
Besides, she had no idea about the current situation.
In the distance, Ye Xishuǐ appeared. Appearing with her was Zhongli Wu, who stared intently at Du Busi's right hand, where he still held the half-dead Feng Ling.
"Seeking death!" Zhongli Wu's anger surged.
"Everyone's here." Su Ming's smile was radiant. From the moment the spacetime was sealed, the smile on his face had never stopped.
Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness.
Water and Fire, he had been prepared since the Ice-Fire Tempered Body.
Earth, extracted from Xuan Zi's Body. Wind, Light, Darkness—today could be gathered together.
And the Five Elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth. Metal and Wood directly used the Blade of Life as the base.
These two elemental systems were now complete.
This also meant the third Martial Soul could be condensed. No accidents were possible. Would Tang San still intervene? These were all Evil Spirit Masters.
Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishuǐ reunited. He informed her of Su Ming's strength, telling her not to be careless.
"I still don't know their true strength. You must be careful."
"We three, afraid of those two?" Ye Xishuǐ stared coldly at Su Ming and Du Busi. Zhongli Wu was also fearless. Even hearing Long Xiaoyao say Su Ming had reached his limit, he remained unfazed. He stared intently at the half-dead Feng Ling.
"Mother, help me." Around Ye Xishuǐ's body, a demonic puppet appeared, its aura becoming sinister. Six Black, Three Red—nine Spirit Rings appeared.
"Boundless Sea of Blood!" A sea of Blood spread. The billowing blood, carrying boundless resentment, was chilling. Countless vengeful spirits surged from the sea of blood, filling the heavens and earth.
Zhongli Wu roared, "Blood Soul Great Method!" The vengeful spirits instantly ignited, devoured by Zhongli Wu. Zhongli Wu's aura also surged instantly, approaching its limit. The Bone Dragon King appeared beside him, its aura expanding accordingly.
