How could Long Xiaoyao suddenly appear? Had he been watching everything happening inside the stone chamber all along?
In an instant, several thoughts rose in Lin Xiao's mind. But seeing Long Xiaoyao attacking once again, he no longer had time to think too much and immediately pressed down all the thoughts in his heart.
On the other side, Long Xiaoyao's clothes fluttered wildly under the impact of his vast soul power. On his right arm, pieces of dragon scales seemed to devour all the surrounding light. The entire stone chamber was filled with an oppressive aura that made it hard for people to breathe.
Long Xiaoyao's gaze was firmly locked on Lin Xiao; he had clearly gotten serious.
Just now, at the moment when Long Xiaoyao suddenly struck to meet Lin Xiao's palms, he actually sensed a soul power from Lin Xiao's body that completely exceeded his expectations.
As a Limit Douluo, he could naturally tell that Lin Xiao's current soul power rank was only level ninety-one, yet the thickness and depth of the soul power within his body even surpassed that of some Super Douluo with unstable foundations.
Although Long Xiaoyao hadn't used his full strength just now, Lin Xiao had also responded hastily. He had merely been pushed back without truly being injured. This was enough to show that Lin Xiao's hurried response had completely blocked his attack.
Thoughts flashed through his mind. Long Xiaoyao's soul power surged once again. The sixth black soul ring around him suddenly shone brightly. The arm that had already transformed into a dragon claw became even deeper and darker, as if everything around it was about to be completely devoured by this power.
Nana, who was standing to the side, suddenly "thumped" down to sit on the ground. Under this tremendous pressure, she could no longer support her body and didn't even have the strength to stand.
The one facing Long Xiaoyao directly, Lin Xiao, felt it even more intensely. In a daze, it was as if he saw a real giant dragon baring its fangs right in front of him, its chilling killing intent not concealed in the slightest.
The stone chamber was already narrow. Under those dragon eyes, Lin Xiao had nowhere to hide. It felt as though no matter where he ran, those eyes would lock onto him tightly.
The surrounding light seemed to be moving farther and farther away from him. Everything around him grew darker and darker. Before his eyes, aside from boundless darkness, there seemed to be nothing else.
Wrong!
Lin Xiao's gaze sharpened. Soul power surged toward his head. A point of sea-blue light suddenly lit up between his eyebrows, and even his throat faintly shimmered with a layer of light.
Long Xiaoyao only saw Lin Xiao open his mouth, but heard no sound. Then he saw Lin Xiao's gaze instantly become clear again.
Soul bone?
As a Limit Douluo who had fought countless battles, Long Xiaoyao naturally recognized the change on Lin Xiao's body with a single glance.
However, there was something he didn't know: what Lin Xiao had just used was not only the head soul bone.
Lin Xiao's head soul bone came from the Great Elder. As a member of the mermaid clan, after this soul bone entered Lin Xiao's body, it fused and resonated with the external attached soul bone at his throat.
Moreover, that soul bone granted him soul skills related to the mermaid clan's specialty, spiritual power. One of those soul skills was to clear all negative mental effects and, for a period of time, greatly increase his spiritual resistance.
In that moment, it seemed as though a faint, almost illusory song echoed beside Lin Xiao's ears, as if countless sirens were singing together in joy. Not only did it instantly clear his vision, but it also filled his entire body with power.
Siren Chorus-Clarifying Heart Hymn.
Truly worthy of a Limit Douluo.
Lin Xiao's mind settled. In an instant, he understood Long Xiaoyao's method. What had been used was no longer just the effect of a soul skill, but a battle technique that came from Long Xiaoyao himself, independent of soul skills.
That overwhelming aura of a Limit Douluo, combined with his soul power, killing intent, and the darkness attribute of his martial soul, came crashing down like a tidal wave, plunging the opponent into endless darkness, swallowing both light and the courage to resist that rose in the heart.
It seemed like a long time, but in reality it was only an instant. Lin Xiao's thoughts raced. His soul power surged violently within him. Around him, the ninth soul ring entwined with gray patterns suddenly burst forth with dazzling blood-red light.
He could feel the terror of Long Xiaoyao's move. Ordinary defense could not withstand it at all. Only by using a similar ability and meeting force with force could he resist.
The already silent stone chamber became even quieter. The blood that had been gushing from the soul beasts on the ground seemed to stop flowing at this moment, as though even sound and time in this place had walked toward "death" and could not advance to the next moment.
His right leg shone with light. Lin Xiao's long black hair had already been dyed blood-red and was fluttering upward. His entire aura rose once again. Blood-red soul power seeped out from his meridians to the surface of his body, strands intertwining and weaving together, outlining an enormous flower.
For a moment, Long Xiaoyao's vision blurred. Countless memories unconsciously surged into his mind, the unrestrained joy of his youth, his feelings for Ye Xishui, and the guilt he felt toward Mu En…
He was already over two hundred years old, yet he had never seen such a beautiful flower as the one before him. With just one look, he felt as though he wanted to let go of everything and return to eternal peace.
A sharp pain stabbed between his eyebrows; the instinctive sense of crisis snapped him back to reality. Looking again, that flower was merely woven from the blood-red soul power around Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao himself stood within it, slowly raising his right palm in what seemed like an ordinary motion.
That palm looked soft and powerless, yet in Long Xiaoyao's eyes, it only made his brow twitch violently.
This was the appearance of someone who had just entered the Title Douluo realm?
A trace of doubt flashed through Long Xiaoyao's mind. In the next instant, his right hand, covered in pitch-black dragon scales, collided with Lin Xiao's right palm.
In that moment, Long Xiaoyao's soul power surged outward violently, yet he still could not stop a feeling of extreme cold from entering his body.
No, it wasn't just a feeling of coldness. It was more like the bone-chilling cold that comes from within after a person dies.
Lin Xiao's palm was naturally not ordinary. Aside from being imbued with his own ultimate "Intent" of Death, what he used was the ninth soul skill with the highest year limit and greatest power among all his soul skills.
This soul skill originated from the Snow Empress, yet it was not entirely the Snow Empress's power. What it brought to the opponent was not ultimate cold, but ultimate death.
It looked like an unremarkable palm with an attack range of only proximity, capable of targeting only one person. Yet under this palm, once the opponent showed any sign of weakness, what awaited them was an utterly unreasonable death.
No matter what kind of defense the opponent had, no matter their cultivation level, one palm and they would return to the other shore.
Facing a ninety-ninth rank Limit Douluo, Lin Xiao no longer had the luxury of thinking about Long Xiaoyao's purpose or what consequences might follow. He only wanted to meet this Limit Douluo's strike with his strongest move.
Within his boundless soul core, soul power seemed to gather from the entire plane. Then it surged along Lin Xiao's meridians and poured out.
That seemingly endless stream of soul power made Long Xiaoyao's expression turn somewhat ugly.
Although he didn't know the exact effect of Lin Xiao's ninth soul skill, his body's instinct told him clearly that he absolutely could not lose in a contest of soul power.
