"Huh? Us?"
Xu Jiujiu's face was a mix of shock and disbelief, the dignity she had cultivated over years shattering in an instant. She screeched, "Death Emperor Yalu has five ten-thousand years of cultivation. Even a regular hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast can't kill that Death God Bloodline freak, and Medusa's Petrification Soul Skill is not to be underestimated. Even Uncle She Chong could do nothing after being hit! If we go, it's a sure death!"
"No, no, no, quite the opposite, this is a perfect opportunity for revenge!" Ling Bai shook his finger and gently persuaded, "Though Death Emperor Yalu and Medusa are powerful, their strengths lie in their death attributes and innate soul skills. Their defenses are abnormally weak compared to top-tier Spirit Beasts of the same cultivation. When Guard She Chong self- destructed, it must have dealt them heavy blows that they can't recover from in a short time!
"You don't need to worry about Death Emperor Yalu and the snake swarm; I'll handle them. As for Snake Empress Medusa... Miss Xu Jiujiu, I believe you can at least hold her back for a while, given her weakened state."
"I..."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiujiu suddenly fell into deep thought, snapping out of her terrified state. Her intelligence reasserted itself.
If it were true as Ling Bai said, she indeed had the ability to hold back the heavily wounded Medusa!
"Will you agree? After all, you want to avenge Guard She Chong, don't you?"
Ling Bai added fuel to the fire. At the mention of She Chong, a flame of revenge ignited in Xu Jiujiu's eyes, and she replied firmly, "Alright, I'll go with you!"
In reality, she had no other choice. Without Ling Bai, she couldn't escape the snake swarm's encirclement!
"Ling Bai, my life... I entrust it to you."
She gave Ling Bai a deep look. Venturing deep into the Spirit Beast forest with an evil soul master to challenge an opponent who seemed impossible to defeat was the bravest thing Xu Jiujiu had ever done in her seventeen years.
She Chong's self-destruction had greatly weakened the two Spirit Beasts, and successfully convincing Xu Jiujiu to share the burden gave Ling Bai even more confidence. He even had the heart to joke, "To be precise, we're entrusting our lives to each other."
"Hmm... I hope you won't let me down."
...
Eternal Night Zone, Snake Colony Lair.
The sky and ground seemed to be covered in flowers, emitting a faint pinkish glow, a rare source of light in the eternal darkness.
The flower sea swayed in the wind, the glow reflecting in Ling Bai and Xu Jiujiu's eyes. The flowers seemed to come to life, swaying as if they were sensuous women dancing, their branches occasionally brushing against their faces like soft, tender hands gently caressing them.
Despite the beauty, a chill ran down Xu Jiujiu's spine when she saw the wriggling snake tails emerging from the center of the closed flowers. Her stomach churned, and she almost vomited!
Paradise?
This place was... hell!
"Blood Sacrifice..."
Ling Bai's face was expressionless as he watched the chaotic flower sea. Due to its severe injuries, Death Emperor Yalu had prematurely initiated the once-a-millennium Blood Sacrifice, but it had not anticipated the brutality of devouring Medusa's snake swarm!
"No wonder Death Emperor Yalu is hunted by all Spirit Beasts on the Douluo Continent; it deserves it!" Xu Jiujiu pursed her red lips and exhaled, "Ling Bai, it's not too late to back out."
"Back out?"
Ling Bai tilted his head slightly. Unlike his golden eyes, his eyes under the Heavenly Silkworm mask were lighter in color, especially in the eternal darkness of the Eternal Night Zone. In the darkness, his gaze had a cold, lifeless quality.
"I never regret what I set out to do."
As he spoke, eight grotesque purple-black spider legs burst from his back, and the air was immediately filled with a suffocating aura of death. At the same time, a massive scythe appeared in Ling Bai's left hand, its blade curved like a crescent moon, the arc deadly and tragic. Xu Jiujiu caught a glimpse of it and was forced to close her eyes tightly by the scythe's overwhelming sharpness.
Death Prison Scythe!
The Death Prison Scythe was not a transformation from the Death Prison Spider Emperor soul master form but an independent weapon, like the Angelic Holy Sword, residing in Ling Bai's left and right arms. At this moment, Ling Bai needed its power!
With the appearance of the Death Prison Spider Emperor and the Death Prison Scythe, a dim, eerie gray soul ring rose around Ling Bai's body, pulsing rhythmically.
"Your soul ring!?"
Xu Jiujiu covered her mouth, forcing herself not to exclaim. She was not an inexperienced soul master, but Ling Bai's surprises were too great!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
You're so powerful and yet have only one soul ring, which is unprecedented and unparalleled on the Douluo Continent-a gray soul ring!
"Stay calm. It's reasonable for an evil soul master to have some eerie things. I believe you can understand."
Xu Jiujiu averted her gaze and muttered, "A monster, an evil soul master among evil soul masters..."
Ling Bai ignored Xu Jiujiu's criticism. The Death Prison Scythe took the lead, with the eight spider legs assisting, like a large reaper machine cutting through the flower sea in swathes, turning it into black dust that scattered in all directions. Xu Jiujiu, following behind Ling Bai, could only see a blurry figure moving straight ahead.
In the center of the flower sea, Death Emperor Yalu's expression changed as it sensed a living being disrupting its Blood Sacrifice!
"Giggle, giggle, giggle..."
Its face, eerily similar to a human's, stretched into a wide grin. The eye on its chest glowed with excitement, an uncontrollable surge of intense emotion washing over its heart!
A death attribute, even stronger than its own!
Swallowing ten thousand snakes couldn't compare to swallowing that uninvited guest!
A vine beneath Death Emperor Yalu rapidly extended, waking the nearby Medusa, who was resting and recovering from her injuries. Medusa shook her bald head and let out a piercing scream, summoning the few hundred snake Spirit Beasts that remained after the slaughter by She Chong and Death Emperor Yalu to prepare for battle!
Death Emperor Yalu spread its arms as if embracing the entire dark sky. As it chanted an eerie incantation, the flower sea began to grow wildly, with pink and black flowers blooming in competition. Figures emerged from the flower sea, gradually becoming more solid!
Death Emperor Yalu's Innate Realm, the Land of the Undead!
Activating the Death God Bloodline, it summoned all the souls of the beings it had sacrificed over the past fifty thousand years to fight for it!
The Blood Sacrifice occurred once every thousand years, each time slaughtering thousands of Spirit Beasts. The fifty thousand years of accumulation made Death Emperor Yalu's resources incredibly rich. In an instant, the flower sea was filled with layers upon layers of Spirit Beast souls, like a tidal wave engulfing the outside world!
"Boom-"
The expansion of the Land of the Undead suddenly halted, as another Innate Realm erupted! The Land of the Undead charged forward, only to collide with an impenetrable wall, causing it to recoil with a bloody nose. The flower sea abruptly withered, and the cries of the Spirit Beast souls filled the air. They felt their souls gripped by Death, with a bloodthirsty demon breathing coldly on the back of their necks!
Death Prison Spider Emperor's Innate Realm, the Realm of Death!
The Realm of Death was filled with the ultimate aura of death. The user's attributes increased
by fifty percent, while the enemy's attributes decreased by thirty percent, with double the effect on undead creatures and souls. The user's soul power, except for maintaining the Realm of Death, did not consume any more. The three ultimate talents of the Death Prison Spider
Emperor had evolved!
The Realm of Death crushed the Land of the Undead, expanding to cover the entire forest. The overwhelming dominance of the ultimate death aura enveloped the land, with Death Emperor Yalu taking the brunt of it!
For the first time, Death Emperor Yalu's expression showed shock and rage. Its eyes, now completely crimson, clashed fiercely with Ling Bai's. It was the true descendant of Death, the incomparably noble Death Lord!
The usurper must face the ultimate punishment!
Death Emperor Yalu's innate soul skill, Execution!
The power of the Death God Bloodline surged into Death Emperor Yalu, and the vines beneath
it grew spikes and blades, transforming from beautiful flowers into lethal weapons, combining violence and beauty!
The souls of the dead made way for Death Emperor Yalu, and those who couldn't dodge were instantly cut to pieces. The eye in the center of Death Emperor Yalu's chest was bloodshot, and under the dual pressure of Death Emperor Yalu and the Death Prison Spider Emperor, the Spirit Beast souls knelt in submission!
Death Emperor Yalu's Execution pierced Ling Bai's chest, the vine drilling into him like a spinning drill, pushing him forward. The death corrosion on the vine could kill a ten- thousand-year Spirit Beast in a fraction of a second!
Blood splattered from Ling Bai's body like broken red silk, but his movements were unaffected. The dim light cast on the black scythe revealed a faint, blood-red glow, and the Eternal Night Zone was illuminated by a blinding spark!
The sound of metal clashing filled the air as two death storms repeatedly collided, earth and broken flowers flying in the chaos. Ling Bai and Death Emperor Yalu exchanged glances countless times, each viewing the other as an irreconcilable enemy!
Death Emperor Yalu's Execution, once unstoppable, was now causing its mindset to collapse. Its defenses were weak, and the close-range self-destruction by She Chong had left it severely injured, greatly reducing its strength. It had only just recovered to about fifty percent of its fighting capacity through the Blood Sacrifice of the snake swarm, but the internal injuries were gradually accumulating, like a tightly wound spring ready to snap at any
moment!
Having already pushed its death attribute and strength to the extreme, Death Emperor Yalu
stared intently at the human bleeding profusely. If it could speak human language, it would
have desperately asked Ling Bai:
Aren't you in pain yet!
Aren't you... dead yet!
Ling Bai's response was simple and brutal. He swung the Death Prison Scythe, plunging it into the eye in the center of Death Emperor Yalu's chest, its most vulnerable spot!
The reason he could withstand Execution and exchange injuries with Death Emperor Yalu was due to another ultimate talent of the Death Prison Spider Emperor: Undying Body!
In its normal state, pain was greatly reduced, and recovery was significantly increased, with physical strength and toughness far exceeding that of a soul master of the same level! Within the Realm of Death, the talent evolved, ignoring pain and remaining undying until a single blow could destroy the entire body!
Death Emperor Yalu's vulnerable spot was heavily injured, and it was pushed back by the
monstrous force of the scythe, leaving a deep trail of blood in the earth, with soil and broken flowers flying everywhere!
Seeing her leader at a disadvantage, Medusa panicked and ordered the remaining snakes to
launch a surrounding attack. The third eye on her forehead opened, and her innate soul skill,
Medusa's Gaze, was ready to be unleashed!
Medusa's Gaze had an extremely strong and persistent destructive force. Once it hit the enemy, the petrification power would disrupt the soul power flow, until the soul power was completely drained, turning the target into a peculiarly shaped stone.
At this moment, a beam of beautiful starlight descended, and Xu Jiujiu appeared, a
magnificent crown made of countless gems on her forehead!
The Star Luo Empire's royal lineage soul master, the Star Crown!
The fourth purple soul ring shone brightly, and a brilliant starlight burst forth, forming a
cage that descended from the sky and trapped Medusa!
The fourth soul skill of the Star Crown, Star Protection!
Medusa was shocked and, upon seeing Xu Jiujiu, her anger flared, and Medusa's Gaze instantly
changed targets!
"Boom-"
The grayish-white petrification beam bombarded the barrier of Star Protection, causing a
faint ripple!
Star Protection had an additional effect: Attribute Isolation!
Medusa's Gaze became a pure soul power attack, and with Medusa's current injuries, it was
powerless against Xu Jiujiu's Star Protection!
Ling Bai had insisted on bringing Xu Jiujiu along, valuing the Attribute Isolation of the Star
Crown soul master. Although he could fight the heavily injured Death Emperor Yalu with the
full release of the Death Prison Spider Emperor's talents, having Medusa lurking and ready to launch petrification beams would have made it difficult for Ling Bai to take on both and a large group of snake Spirit Beasts!
She Chong's self-sacrifice had laid the groundwork, and Xu Jiujiu's Star Protection provided
the necessary restraint, creating a possibility for Ling Bai to defeat Death Emperor Yalu!
Ling Bai was satisfied with Xu Jiujiu's timely intervention, and Xu Jiujiu's heart was filled with waves of shock!
She had never seen an ultimate soul master, but she could sense the overwhelming power of
the Death Prison Spider Emperor and the Innate Realm, the Realm of Death, which suppressed
Death Emperor Yalu's Land of the Undead. She marveled at how the heavens favored this evil soul master!
The only thing to be grateful for was that he was not nearly evil enough, or the continent
would have suffered greatly...
Xu Jiujiu held back Medusa, but the snakes, unable to resist, charged at Ling Bai like mad, the
earth filled with a strong, pungent smell!
Her long hair whipped around as Ling Bai, with the Death Prison Scythe in his left hand,
stared at the surging snake swarm, his crimson eyes filled with a bloodthirsty desire! The black scythe sliced through the air in graceful arcs, like the Grim Reaper taking lives. The heads of young snakes were severed, and the larger thousand-year-old pythons crashed to the ground, their severed heads still twitching as the thin, blood-red snake skin clung to their
bodies. The pythons, still reacting to the severed nerve, waited for death, with white, yellow, and purple soul rings scattered everywhere. The lives of Spirit Beasts were as fragile as grass. Kicking away the heavy corpse of a thousand-year-old forest boa that blocked his path, Ling Bai felt a sweet taste in his throat and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
His body and soul power were reaching their limits.
He had to end this quickly!
With this thought, Ling Bai made a decision. The terrifying shadow of the Death Prison Spider
Emperor suddenly appeared, its eight crimson eyes smiling contentedly before the meal. The hundreds of soul rings from the snake swarm poured into the Death Prison Spider Emperor's body, and Ling Bai's soul power surged!
The third ultimate talent of the Death Prison Spider Emperor: Soul Devouring!
Derived
from the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, it consumed souls and soul rings to gain
power, a talent worthy of an evil soul master!
Ultimate death, Soul Devouring, Undying Body, Spider Emperor's, Death Prison Scythe, Innate Realm Realm of Death, Raksha Evil Power, all combined to form the second evil soul
master, the Death Prison Spider Emperor!
