Sunlight melts the ice and snow, and the spring breeze brushes across the earth.
The situation where the power within Zhong Yuxing encounters the Purification Power of the Angel is not exactly gentle, but the process is roughly like that.
Under the Light Judgment, the blood-ink divine power throughout Zhong Yuxing's body dissolves rapidly, at a speed far exceeding when he previously encountered the Sea God and the Judgment. A massive amount of resentment is released from his body, attempting to resist this holiness which is like poison to him. However, aside from acting as fuel and making the Holy Fire on his body burn even more fiercely, it has no real effect.
"Ahhhhh--"
Zhong Yuxing collapses and curls up on the ground, black mist constantly emerging and dissolving from his entire body. He lets out a series of screams, and from the reverberation of the voice, one can tell that it is the Fallen God who is currently controlling the shell.
The Angel Spirit is inherently specialized in breaking evil; even Ya Li, a healing-type, possesses formidable lethality when encountering evil-attribute Soul Masters, let alone the Six-Winged Angel Spirit, which combines the three attributes of holiness, light, and fire. It is essentially the natural nemesis of evil—his attacks deal several times the damage when striking the Fallen God!
Moreover, there is a traitor beside the Fallen God's soul right now. Zhong Yuxing is ruthless enough; he uses his partial control over the body to actively guide some of the Judgment power into his body, pouring it into his Head Spirit Bone. He forces himself to endure the damage to his own soul, determined to suppress the Fallen God.
Under the burning of the holy light, the Fallen God is in agony. The Fallen God's soul stares at the equally pained Zhong Yuxing with eyes splitting from rage, shouting hoarsely.
"Do you want to die!"
Zhong Yuxing's soul body is twisted in pain, but he still manages to force a smile.
"If I die, then so be it. As long as it follows my will."
The Fallen God looks at the smile on Zhong Yuxing's face, which can hardly be called relaxed, and realizes for the first time that this human he chose is so unreasonable beneath his gentle exterior—more inexplicable than he, an Evil God, is. Since they are currently face-to-face in soul form, he knows very well how serious the words from the other side are.
He is starting to feel afraid—not of the menacing Yun Ming and the two Heaven-Reaching Douluo outside, but of Zhong Yuxing, who has the lowest combat power among those present. With a traitor causing trouble inside and strong enemies surrounding him outside, the Fallen God can no longer hold back, screaming hysterically.
"Humans, you are not qualified to take this God's life! Give this God..."
"Get out!!"
With a roar from the Fallen God, accompanied by the terrifying Roar of Hundred Beasts Battle Sound, the soul-snatching power carrying resentful divine energy crosses space and time, pouring directly into the Sea of Consciousness of everyone present, striking their souls directly. He has gone mad, deciding that even at a certain cost, he will bury these reckless humans before him.
The Fallen God Sound is a soul attack that is basically impossible to dodge.
As the Fallen God roars, everyone is attacked simultaneously, and a boom explodes deep within everyone's Sea of Consciousness almost at the same time.
"Boom--"
Zhong Yuxing, who is closest to the Fallen God, only sees a tangible dark black sound wave flash by before 'hearing' a terrifying, Heaven Falls and Earth Cracks-like explosion. In an instant, his soul body is shattered. The soul body, which was originally glowing with spiritual light, is nearly extinguished; it is covered in cracks from head to toe, feeling as if a gust of wind in the Sea of Consciousness could blow his soul away.
His Sea of Consciousness is also covered in cracks. The fragile balance between light and resentment is broken, with darkness overwhelming the light. At this moment, only tiny, unextinguished sparks remain in the Sea of Consciousness.
Except for Zhong Yuxing, who essentially took the ultimate move with his face, Yun Ming and his group are not having an easy time either.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan hurriedly activates his Spirit Avatar, but then the attack arrives. He freezes for a moment, then black blood begins to flow from his seven orifices, and his body goes limp, causing him to collapse directly. He is severely injured on the spot by a single blow. It is fortunate that his Spirit is sun-facing and of high quality; otherwise, it would be hard to say if he could even keep his life.
Ghost Douluo Guimei also uses his Ghost Avatar, transforming into a ghost and entering a void state in an attempt to block the attack. Because of his Spirit, his state is somewhat similar to Zhong Yuxing's soul body; he is covered in cracks, the black mist that usually surrounds him is almost dissipated, and his entire ghost body looks like a porcelain doll glued back together after being shattered.
With the two Super Douluo down, the two Heaven-Reaching Douluo are also heavily injured.
Qian Daoliu's soul skill is interrupted, the light of his Soul Power dims, and his Spirit is dispersed directly. Like a sun that has exhausted its energy, he falls from the sky.
Fortunately, people from the Six-Winged Angel lineage are always powerful in every aspect, and their Spirit has the highest resistance to evil power in the world. Even after suffering a heavy blow, he does not lose consciousness. Before hitting the ground, he regains some control over his body and, enduring the pain of his soul, hurriedly uses Martial Soul Avatar to slow his descent. Otherwise, falling from an altitude of over a thousand meters, he might have suffered severe physical trauma.
"Bang--"
Qian Daoliu crashes into the ground, creating a deep pit, and cannot stop a large mouthful of black blood from spraying out of his mouth and nose.
Bo Saixi is much like Qian Daoliu; both are possessors of divine Spirits, their Spiritual Power has reached the level of the half-step Divine Origin Realm, and their Unity of Heaven and Man realm is extremely high. If Qian Daoliu can withstand it, she certainly can too.
As for Yun Ming, after the initial impact, he only feels a severe headache, and blood uncontrollably overflows from the corner of his mouth; he is slightly injured. The soul essence of the same level as the Fallen God, his Spirit Soul Core, and the Atlas Divine Spear make his resistance to this kind of attack even stronger than that of Qian Daoliu and the other.
Having shaken off some of the world's suppression, the Fallen God finally reveals the formidable power of a god-level powerhouse; a single Fallen God Sound nearly destroys the battlefield. However, he himself also spits out a mouthful of blood.
This move is the Fallen God's trump card divine skill, capable of maximizing the characteristics of his resentful divine power to directly attack and corrode the soul. The consumption and the backlash from the soul confrontation are significant, which is why he did not use this move when Zhong Yuxing first began to resist.
Although the cost is not small, it is all worth it. Although the Fallen God has not yet erased Zhong Yuxing's soul, he has finally obtained control of the body.
"Hahaha, cough, hahaha."
A manic laugh with reverberation comes from Zhong Yuxing's mouth. Although mixed with some coughing, one can still hear his joy.
Immediately, a pressure exceeding the limits of a Soul Master descends abruptly. Centered on Zhong Yuxing's shell, the air, the earth, the grass, the living creatures, and everyone and everything tremble before this gap in the level of life.
"Thump--"
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi feel as if their hearts are being squeezed by a hand, emitting a muffled sound, and they simultaneously feel an inexplicable pressure on their shoulders. At this moment, the two of them can no longer clearly perceive Zhong Yuxing's aura, which means the true Fallen God has descended.
However, in a way, this is a good thing. Otherwise, if the two of them could clearly understand the chasm-like gap between them and the opponent, they might not have the confidence to fight in the face of this desperate barrier between human and god.
Because Yun Ming's spiritual realm is high, he can clearly feel the terrifying divine power fluctuations on the opponent, but he is doing alright because he has felt this pressure before!
So this is the true Power of the Gods! The power of Soul Guidance Technology has really reached the God Realm a generation ahead of time.
Subconsciously, this thought flashes through Yun Ming's mind, but he only thinks about it for a moment, as the True God on the opposite side who has regained complete divine power has now recovered.
After a burst of wild laughter, the blood-ink divine power that pierces the sky on Zhong Yuxing's body erupts with full force, and his body slowly rises. The sky, which had become cloudless because of Qian Daoliu, is filled in the blink of an eye with boundless blood-ink divine power clouds. Countless shrill, tyrannical beast roars resound from the clouds, as if countless demonic beasts are ready to descend and slaughter the common people at any moment.
The Fallen God Zhong Yuxing tears off his tattered upper garment burned by the Holy Fire, revealing his body covered in magic patterns. He raises his right hand, and an object from the open space below shoots into the sky. This object is none other than the War Stone Wall that Zhong Yuxing summoned twice. Zhong Yuxing gently strokes the patterns carved on it and says.
"Wait. After I devour the Human World, you will be next."
At this point, Zhong Yuxing shifts his gaze, looking at the three people below whose expressions are extremely serious, and reveals a ferocious smile on his face, continuing.
"Let's start with you!"
He taps the War Stone Wall lightly, and all the patterns on the entire wall light up. Then, Yun Ming and the others see the wall rapidly turn to ash, as if eroded by time in a short period. Immediately, the stone wall's flying ash rapidly gathers around Zhong Yuxing, while various forms of cloud beasts—True Dragon, Phoenix, Taotie, Kui Ox, and so on—constantly fall from the blood clouds in the sky.
The blood clouds and the stone wall's ash completely cover Zhong Yuxing. Yun Ming and the others cannot see the specific situation inside, but the evil energy in the sky is rising higher and higher, and the blood-ink magic clouds are rapidly expanding toward the surroundings.
Seeing this scene of monstrous evil, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi suppressed the pain in their souls and once again summoned their Spirit Avatar. The holy Angel and the majestic Sea God reappeared in the world, both unleashing their Angel and Sea God Domain with all their might.
The eruption of these two peerless figures held the last sanctuary for this region, but that was all they could do. Sensing the evil energy growing stronger and the pressure mounting, Qian Daoliu felt that things could not go on like this, so he turned to Bo Saixi and asked.
"Xiao Xi, has Lord Poseidon sent down any divine oracle?"
Bo Saixi shook her head with a grave expression, and Qian Daoliu's heart sank. At this stage, if the gods did not intervene, he truly did not know how they could win. The gap between gods and mortals was too vast; he could not see any possibility of victory. And if they failed to hold the line, the entire continent would be reduced to hell before the other gods took action, and Martial Soul Hall, as the premier power in the Soul Master World, would inevitably bear the brunt of it.
He could disregard others, but Qian Renxue and Ya Li could not be allowed to suffer, so it was time to make final preparations. He turned his head to look at Yun Ming, who was standing to the side lost in thought, and spoke up.
"Yun kid, you should go!"
As the spokespeople for the gods, Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi would not and could not retreat, so they had to leave behind a spark of hope. As far as he was concerned, that spark was currently Yun Ming; they had to preserve a hope that belonged to the continent itself.
While Qian Daoliu was entrusting his legacy in the Human World, the God Realm was also watching the developments on Douluo Star.
God Realm, Shura God Palace
Poseidon watched the scene of Qian Daoliu entrusting his legacy on the light screen and spoke to Shura, who was watching the show alongside him.
"Shura, you've finished your test, right? If you're done, I'm preparing to borrow a vessel to descend, otherwise my High Priest really will die at the hands of that loach!"
He was still counting on using Tang San to escape his cage! He couldn't afford to lose Bo Saixi.
Shura watched the developments on the screen and replied indifferently.
"Wait a little longer."
Seeing that Shura still seemed intent on digging into the limits of Yun Ming, the Sea God said helplessly.
"Shura, this kid is already enough to make the heavens jealous. He's only seventeen, yet his combat power is already vaguely comparable to a ninety-eighth-level Title Douluo. He can be called the greatest genius in the history of Douluo Star. How much more do you want to test him!"
Heaven knows how shocked Poseidon was when he saw Yun Ming today. Even though the boy lacked the thick destiny of a Child of Destiny, he still pressured his chosen successor until he couldn't breathe. What an unbelievable talent! It was simply unreasonable. He had even instinctively wanted to change targets and snatch Yun Ming as his successor. It was only after considering the consequences of Shura going mad that he abandoned that terrible idea!
It was precisely because he understood this that he realized why Shura dared to let Tang San go there and even leave an Asura Demon Seed in his body to raise a poisonous insect—it turned out Shura had already chosen the king of the insects. But that was fine; he could safely and boldly poach talent. In any case, his goal was just to run away, and he didn't care much about who the next Sea God was, as long as they could bear the Sea God Power.
Shura did not look at him. He watched Yun Ming, who remained calm on the light screen, and felt that the boy did not seem completely helpless, so he replied with the same indifferent tone.
"Your believer won't die. Keep watching!"
Seeing that Shura was determined to stir up trouble, Poseidon had no choice but to let him continue his mischief.
Looking at the spear-wielding youth on the light screen, Shura thought to himself.
What is it that makes you so calm? I'm really looking forward to it!
Inside the dense forest battlefield
Bo Saixi glanced at Qian Daoliu and Yun Ming. Although she was not entirely clear about the relationship between the two, she still voiced her agreement.
"Young man, you should go! If we fail, the Soul Master World will at least still have hope preserved."
Although Yun Ming had only struck twice in front of her, both times were critical, and she believed this young man had the ability to handle the potential chaos that would follow.
Yun Ming understood what the two peerless powerhouses meant, and he did not object. If the situation truly became impossible, he would flee immediately rather than foolishly fight to the death, but for now, he wanted to try again.
"I understand your intentions, but now should be the time when that 'Fallen God' is at his weakest and our side is at its strongest. If we cannot resolve this now, I fear it will be even harder to deal with him once he recuperates and recovers his strength!"
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi knew exactly what Yun Ming said was true, but how could it be done?
Seeing their hesitation, Yun Ming proposed his own request.
"I have a method we can try, but it requires your help."
After finishing his explanation, Yun Ming looked at the two and asked.
"Grand Offering, Senior, can you fulfill my request?"
Bo Saixi pondered for a moment before speaking.
"We can, but are you sure your method is feasible?"
Yun Ming smiled and said.
"I'm not sure, but it couldn't get any worse, could it?"
"If the situation becomes impossible, I will leave immediately."
Qian Daoliu looked at Yun Ming and laughed heartily.
"Good, then let's give it one more shot."
