Ye Xishui's eyes had already dimmed, but the aura around her body grew increasingly powerful. Behind her seemed to flash a massive phantom, and then several streaks of blood-red light shot out from within her body.
Those were huge clusters of vengeful spirits. They appeared completely unaffected by Ye Xishui. As Ye Xishui neared death, they became even more active, swirling around her with thick, bloodthirsty energy, seemingly constantly fighting over every bit of Ye Xishui's flesh and blood.
As the surrounding blood energy grew denser and a sensation like a storm of blood and gore swept over everything, nine soul rings, six black and three red, rose around Lin Xiao as well.
Looking at Ye Xishui's increasingly frail body, which seemed ready to collapse in the extreme northern wind at any moment, Lin Xiao suddenly understood something. The blood souls Ye Xishui had just condensed were probably not because her previous blood souls had been completely exhausted.
Rather, something had gone wrong with her own self, leaving her unable to control those powerful blood souls any longer.
Unlike the souls around Lin Xiao, Ye Xishui's blood souls were transformed from the souls of soul masters combined with blood energy under the effect of her martial soul's ability. However, those blood souls still retained fragments of the lingering will from those original souls.
Those wills belonged to people Ye Xishui had killed, transformed into this state of neither life nor death. Deep in their subconscious, they naturally harbored intense hatred toward Ye Xishui.
When Ye Xishui was powerful, they were naturally controlled by her. Now that she was on the verge of death and no longer had the power to control them, they naturally surged forward to tear her into pieces.
Ye Xishui, who had sheltered the entire Holy Spirit Cult, ultimately met such an end, which was perhaps not unexpected.
A thought flashed through Lin Xiao's mind. He looked up at the blood souls drifting in the air, his brows slightly furrowed.
After devouring Ye Xishui, these blood souls did not disperse. Instead, the surrounding blood energy grew even denser.
After all, Ye Xishui was a Limit Douluo. The immense power she possessed was now obtained by these blood souls, and their aura even surpassed what it had been before.
Seeing these blood souls beginning to spread outward, Lin Xiao finally rose into the air. Streaks of phantoms flew out from within his body.
These blood souls had already obtained Ye Xishui's power and lost control. They would likely instinctively destroy every living being they encountered.
This was the extreme northern lands. Although human presence was rare, the number of soul beasts was not small. Especially the Snow Emperor, who had long harbored resentment toward Ye Xishui. Now facing these blood souls, she showed no mercy. Without needing Lin Xiao's instructions, she raised her hand and charged toward one blood-red orb of light.
As a soul herself, the Snow Emperor could not directly affect living people in the real world, but against these blood souls that were likewise condensed from souls, her palm struck solidly.
Although that blood soul had been condensed by Ye Xishui for a hundred years, compared to the Snow Emperor's seven hundred thousand years, its soul strength was still incomparable. After just a few exchanges, it had already collapsed.
On the other side, the White Tiger let out a long roar. The double pupils in its eyes were especially distinct. Perhaps because his martial soul, the White Tiger, inherently suppressed souls, the effect was exceptionally good.
Watching the souls leaving his body and fighting independently, Lin Xiao scanned around and nodded inwardly.
After obtaining Electrolux's divine sense fragment, over the past two months, he had learned quite a bit of necromancy, and these souls had become increasingly nimble.
While thinking, Lin Xiao slowly descended in front of Ye Xishui. Her body had already completely withered, as though the next moment it would turn to dust and scatter with the wind.
The storage soul guidance device on her body could no longer stay properly fixed to her hand. It fell and rolled to Lin Xiao's feet.
Bending down to pick up the storage soul guidance device, Lin Xiao swept it with his spiritual power and raised an eyebrow in some surprise.
There weren't many things inside. For an evil soul master like Ye Xishui, it seemed she didn't need the usual cultivation resources that ordinary soul masters required.
What surprised Lin Xiao was that hidden inside was a small dark-red tower. Merely sweeping his spiritual power over it brought a faint stinging pain.
Class 9 soul guidance device, Death God Tower.
Lin Xiao hadn't expected that such a massive structure could be stored inside an ordinary storage soul guidance device like this.
Perhaps the true main body of the Death God Tower wasn't as huge as it appeared, or maybe it possessed some special technology that allowed it to change its own size.
But since it was a Class 9 soul guidance device, it naturally had its unique aspects.
Before Lin Xiao could figure out the details, a remnant soul suddenly drifted unsteadily up from Ye Xishui's body.
His martial soul trembled slightly. A wisp of deep blue flashed through Lin Xiao's eyes. Looking up, he saw a tattered, broken soul carrying an aura somewhat familiar to Lin Xiao drifting past him.
This was… Ye Xishui's soul?
Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment.
Once a soul master's cultivation reached the level of Titled Douluo, spiritual power would naturally grow along with it. The essence of the soul is the combination of spiritual power and memories. The higher the cultivation, the stronger the soul naturally becomes.
As a Limit Douluo, even if Ye Xishui's soul wasn't as strong as the Snow Emperor's, it shouldn't be in such a shattered state, without even any consciousness left, worse than the assassin from before.
After observing for a moment, Lin Xiao finally confirmed that this soul, which had almost no instinct remaining, indeed came from the Ye Xishui before him.
Perhaps she had suffered something in life, or perhaps back then, outside Heaven Dou City, to escape, she had burned herself, and combined with Long Xiaoyao's death, she had lost the will to live, resulting in her soul becoming so broken.
No wonder she could no longer control her own blood souls in the end.
Thoughts flashed through his mind, but Lin Xiao had no intention of letting it go just like that. The moment he raised his hand toward Ye Xishui's soul, a sudden chill swept over his body.
Lin Xiao's heart jolted. Looking around, the blood souls that had escaped had already been completely dispersed under the attacks of the few souls he controlled. The thick, bloody aura permeated everywhere.
But in the instant that chill passed over him, all the blood energy vanished in a flash, as though it had disappeared from this world entirely.
Before Lin Xiao, Ye Xishui's body instantly dissipated, leaving only a blood-red cloak gently fluttering down.
That strange sensation vanished in a blink. Lin Xiao snapped back to his senses, feeling his heartbeat quicken.
"Teacher…"
Electrolux seemed to have known what Lin Xiao was about to say. "Your feeling is correct. That was not power from this world."
"Then perhaps it was…" Lin Xiao looked up slightly, gazing at the vast white sky around him. His vision seemed to pierce through space to see beyond the Douluo Continent. "The Abyss Plane."
The vast evil soul master power from the blood souls and Ye Xishui's body had acted like the most delicious bait, drawing the Abyss Plane into a momentary fusion with the Douluo Continent.
Lin Xiao's heart sank slightly. That Abyss Plane seemed to be arriving faster than he had anticipated.
