Starlight, Star God, Sword God!

"It's over, Soul Devour!"

The Dark Blood Demon let out a low growl, a glint of Greed and ruthlessness flashing in its eyes.

Looking at Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi, who were already in a weakened state, his First Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and the huge Blood Demon Wraith behind him made a movement of lifting its upper body backward, as if an invisible giant mouth was opening in the void.

In an instant, an overwhelming suction force erupted, forming a small Black Hole, and the surrounding air was pulled apart, making a wailing sound.

Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi felt a chill run down their spines, their blood and qi surging violently within them, and even their souls seemed to be pulled away from their bodies by this suction force. A fear originating from the Life Origin instantly seized their minds.

Don't underestimate the "Soul Devour" Spirit Skill just because it's only the Dark Blood Demon's First Soul Skill. It's the foundation of his cultivation and the core of his combat power.

Whether used to weaken opponents and plunder life force in fierce battles, or to Soul Devour and strengthen oneself during daily cultivation, this Spirit Skill is of paramount importance and has been invincible in past encounters.

At this moment, the two women had been greatly weakened by the power of the curse. He used "Soul Devour" to take this opportunity to directly devour their souls and seize these two powerful forces for himself.

However, would the others present simply stand by and do nothing?

Sixth Soul Skill: Absolute Star Curtain!

Xu Xiaoyan's clear, cold voice rang out, and the Star Staff Martial Soul appeared in her hand. Five black, one red, and three orange-gold, a total of nine Soul Ring, gently pulsed around the Star Staff, emitting distinct layers of Soul Power fluctuations.

In the next instant, two beams of Star Radiance, as condensed as solid, fell from the sky, precisely enveloping Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi, forming a dazzling and solid light curtain.

The terrifying devouring power emanating from "Soul Devour" was completely blocked the moment it touched the light barrier, as if it had encountered an insurmountable obstacle.

Not only that, the Dark Blood Demon was even more shocked to discover that the curse he had previously placed on the two women had been quietly stripped away and Purification by the Star Radiance, just like ice and snow melting away, leaving not a trace behind.

"What kind of Martial Soul is this?!"

The Dark Blood Demon couldn't help but cast a surprised and suspicious glance at Xu Xiaoyan. When he saw her unusual Soul Ring Configuration, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

Orange Gold Soul Ring? This means that this seemingly delicate girl has actually absorbed the Soul Spirit of a Ferocious Beast!

Xu Xiaoyan's lips. The next moment, Star Radiance lit up around her, like the brightest star in the night sky.

The sky, which had been shrouded in blood mist and dark clouds, gradually cleared under the Star Radiance. Countless brilliant stars pierced through the haze, shining with dazzling light that even the pervasive blood mist could not obscure.

The Dark Blood Demon subconsciously looked up at the sky, a surge of emotion welling up within him. This was... a change in the celestial phenomena?

Spirit Master who can manipulate celestial phenomena are extremely rare, and whenever they do appear, they possess earth-shattering power.

This little girl, whom he had initially disregarded, not only absorbed the Beast Soul but also possessed the power to trigger celestial anomalies!

After the initial shock, the Dark Blood Demon quickly regained his composure. So what if he had absorbed the Beast Soul?

Xu Xiaoyan's Soul Power was only at the Titled Douluo level, which was still a huge gap compared to his Limit Douluo. Ultimately, the advantage was still on his side.

"We can't drag this out any longer, we must finish this quickly! Seventh Soul Skill: Blood Demon Avatar!"

Blood mist surged around the Dark Blood Demon, its form gradually Phasing and merging with the silhouette of the vengeful Wraith behind it. Clearly, it was about to unleash its Martial Soul Avatar, maximizing its combat power.

"Brilliant Starlight Domain!"

However, Xu Xiaoyan was faster. The orange- Golden Soul Ring representing her Seventh Soul Skill suddenly lit up, and a total of 108 dazzling Star Radiance appeared in the night sky, like a vast star net that completely covered the area.

"Star Radiance, freeze!"

The stars in the sky suddenly became incredibly bright, and a beam of Star Radiance, condensed to its utmost, pierced the Changkong and descended with lightning speed.

The speed of light is faster than we can imagine.

Even the most powerful Agility System Soul Master can only surpass the speed of sound at most, but compared to light, it is undoubtedly insignificant.

The Dark Blood Demon felt his whole body stiffen. His body, which was originally fusing into Phasing, suddenly solidified, and the execution of his Martial Soul Avatar was abruptly interrupted!

"Absolute Establishment!" The Dark Blood Demon's gaze darkened. Years of combat experience allowed him to instantly discern the unique nature of Xu Xiaoyan's Spirit Skill.

With his cultivation level, even if his Martial Soul Avatar was interrupted, he wouldn't suffer a backlash. However, the feeling of his body being forcibly controlled made him extremely uncomfortable, as if his own power was being imprisoned by invisible shackles.

The most terrifying aspect of Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff Martial Soul lies in its "Absolute Establishment" characteristic—once hit by Spirit Skill, no matter how strong the opponent's resistance or how high their cultivation level, they will definitely be forcibly controlled.

With Xu Xiaoyan's current strength, there are only two ways to break free from control: either reach God Level strength to forcibly break free, or dodge in advance.

"Kill her first!"

The Dark Blood Demon instantly changed its target, making Xu Xiaoyan its primary objective.

Control System Soul Master with Absolute Establishment is far too troublesome on the battlefield. If you don't eliminate her first, who knows when she might launch a sneak attack and disrupt your plans.

"Soul Devour Frenzied Swallow!"

Suddenly, the Wraith behind him split into twelve equally tall and ferocious Wraith Clone. Then, they all turned around and aimed at Xu Xiaoyan's location, spewing thick blood mist from their mouths, clearly intending to unleash all the power of their curse upon her.

However, the Dark Blood Demon quickly noticed the anomaly.

Faced with his surging curse power, the pretty girl in front of him always had a faint smile on her face, her expression calm and composed. She didn't even frown, as if the curse power that was enough to Erosion Element the soul was nothing more than a gentle Qingfeng to her.

This made his heart tighten immediately.

Does she possess some Secret Technique to break the curse?

Just as his thoughts were racing, a star in the sky suddenly collapsed, turning into countless streams of light that scattered in all directions.

"Star Annihilation Divine Light!"

Immediately following, as Xu Xiaoyan's Fifth Soul Ring lit up, an even more dazzling Star Radiance suddenly fell, pointing directly at the Dark Blood Demon.

The Dark Blood Demon naturally sensed the strangeness of this Star Radiance and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly controlled his twelve Wraith Clone to stand in front of him, attempting to block the Star Radiance's rays.

However, this Star Radiance was completely different from the previous light of control. At the moment it fell, the surrounding space seemed to be Distortion and folded by an invisible hand, forming an independent domain.

The Wraith Clone disintegrated almost the instant they came into contact with the Star Radiance, posing no effective resistance whatsoever.

The Star Radiance fell on the Dark Blood Demon without any obstruction. He felt a tightness all over his body, and in the next instant, everything around him disappeared, plunging him into pure darkness.

There was no light, no energy elements, not even a trace of air. It was as if, in that instant, he had been thrown into the Abyss of the universe, finding himself in an absolute vacuum.

"No, this is a vacuum!"

The Dark Blood Demon, being Limit Douluo, possessed a profound understanding of Spatial Power and quickly grasped the characteristics of this Spirit Skill after a moment's thought.

Forcibly pulling the opponent into a vacuum environment, making them unable to breathe or mobilize external energy, thereby consuming their Soul Power and life force, is truly a cunning and ingenious method.

But precisely because of this, his killing intent only intensified. "The combination of Star Radiance and Spatial Power can actually simulate a vacuum environment to wear down the opponent... This little girl's talent is truly terrifying. If her cultivation improves, she will undoubtedly become a major threat to the Holy Church in the future. I absolutely cannot let her leave alive today!"

To the onlookers, the sight was even more astonishing—a beam of Star Radiance fell, and the Dark Blood Demon vanished into thin air, without a trace, as if it had never existed.

What's going on?

Bai Xiuxiu, Wu Siduo, and others closely associated with Xu Xiaoyan were all stunned by this scene. Xiaoyan... she'd actually become this strong?

In fact, starting with her Sixth Spirit Ring, Xu Xiaoyan received sacrifices from numerous Immortal Herb Soul Beast, which solidified her foundation to an incredibly strong level. Her Martial Soul also completely shed its original Ice Attribute, evolving into a pure Star Staff Martial Soul, with power surpassing even its former glory.

Shortly after Nan Fusheng and his group arrived in Ming Capital, Xu Xiaoyan successfully reached the Titled Douluo Realm and even gave herself a title she liked very much: Starry Sky.

Starry Sky Douluo Xu Xiaoyan!

Although she doesn't yet possess Four-word Battle Armor, thanks to the unique properties of her Star Staff Martial Soul, she's absolutely confident she can defeat even a regular Super Douluo.

Even when facing Limit Douluo, she can hold them off for a considerable period of time.

After becoming Starry Sky Douluo, her strength increased by leaps and bounds, and her control reached an unparalleled level. The alternation of day and Evernight was almost entirely at her command.

That Star Radiance just now was her fifth Spirit Skill — Star Annihilation Divine Light!

This is an incredibly powerful Control System Spirit Skill. At the cost of annihilating the power contained in a star, it instantly draws the opponent into an independent vacuum space, causing them to continuously consume Soul Power and life force in the vacuum environment. The effect lasts for one minute.

During this time, she can also teleport opponents who have been trapped in the vacuum to any designated location within a hundred meters, demonstrating extremely high tactical flexibility.

Although it is only the fifth Spirit Skill, it is undoubtedly an absolute god-tier skill for Control System Soul Master. This is because, in addition to its "Absolute Establishment" characteristic, "Star Annihilation Divine Light" has another terrifying aspect—it ignores defense.

No matter how strong the opponent's defensive Spirit Skill or Battle Armor are, they cannot withstand the force that pulls them into a vacuum.

The 108 Star Radiance in the sky are the physical manifestation of Xu Xiaoyan's Seventh Soul Skill, "Brilliant Starry Sky Domain".

Once the domain is formed, 108 stars will appear in the Starry Sky. Before all these stars are destroyed, the "Star Annihilation Divine Light" can be used without limit. Each time it is used, a star will fall.

In other words, Xu Xiaoyan can use "Star Annihilation Divine Light" a total of 108 times.

Before she uses it all 108 times, with the protection of the domain and the Star Power, there is absolutely no way anyone can harm her.

Even in the heat of battle, she can connect with the stars through her Star Staff Martial Soul, drawing upon the power of the countless stars to replenish her Star Radiance, making her endurance terrifying.

It can be said that with the amplification from "Brilliant Starry Sky Domain" and her fifth Spirit Skill "Star Annihilation Divine Light" alone, Xu Xiaoyan is qualified to control an entire battle.

"Xing Lan, get ready."

Xu Xiaoyan's calm voice rang out, her gaze turning to Ye Xinglan beside her. Star Radiance swirled on her Star Staff, indicating that she had already made preparations for the next stage.

"Good."

Ye Xinglan's response was concise and firm. The Stargod Sword in her hand vibrated slightly, and the sword rang out clearly, as if resonating with heaven and earth. Six black rings and three orange-gold rings, a total of nine Soul Ring, slowly rose from her feet, flowing with profound and magnificent energy.

On the sword, specks of starlight quietly emerged, echoing the stars in the Brilliant Starry Sky Domain above, as if an invisible bond connected them.

"Brilliant Star Radiance!"

Xu Xiaoyan held the Star Staff and gently pointed it at Ye Xinglan's Stargod Sword.

In an instant, among the 108 stars in the Brilliant Starry Sky Domain surrounding her, ten more Star Radiance suddenly perished, turning into countless Star Radiance of starlight, which, as if guided, all flowed into the blade of the Stargod Sword.

After absorbing these ten Star Radiance, Ye Xinglan's aura Berserk at a visible speed, and his Soul Power fluctuations rose layer by layer like a tsunami, instantly breaking through the shackles of the Titled Douluo and approaching the peak of the Super Douluo, reaching a level comparable to a Ninety-seventh Grade Super Douluo.

This is Starlight Amplification —a special synergy that is not a Martial Soul Fusion Skill Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but is even better than one.

Back in the Shrek Academy, Xu Xiaoyan had already discovered that her Star Wheel Ice Staff Martial Soul could resonate with Ye Xinglan's Stargod Sword in a strange way.

Of course, this resonance is not Martial Soul Fusion Skill in the traditional sense, but rather stems from the Star Attribute shared in the Martial Soul of the two individuals.

When they fight side by side, their Martial Soul will resonate subtly due to their shared attributes, stimulating and amplifying each other's power.

Later, after Xu Xiaoyan's Martial Soul shed its Ice Attribute and evolved into a pure Star Staff Martial Soul, the resonance of this Star Attribute became even stronger, as if they were born to fight together in this way.

Although this was just a conjecture in Xu Xiaoyan's mind, she firmly believed in this connection originating from her Martial Soul, and thus she made this attempt—and the result was obviously successful.

Choosing ten Star Radiance was not Xu Xiaoyan's limit, but rather because Ye Xinglan's body could currently only withstand the infusion of ten beams of Star Radiance. Forcibly increasing the amount would not only fail to amplify the effect, but might also harm him due to energy overload.

Otherwise, with the power of the Brilliant Starry Sky Domain, Ye Xinglan's Soul Power would only increase even more dramatically.

"Clang!"

A clear sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a golden light, condensed to its extreme, suddenly spread outward from Ye Xinglan's body.

As the halo flickered, the surrounding air Distortion violently, and tiny cracks appeared in the space around the Stargod Sword, as if it would be torn apart by this unparalleled sword intent at any moment.

Even Gu Yuena, who was intently watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and a hint of surprise flash in her eyes at such an incomparably sharp sword intent.

Sword God!

Since the Skysea City auction incident, Ye Xinglan experienced a life-or-death battle with the Evil Soul Master Tang Sang. In the face of adversity, he comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship, broke through the bottleneck, and reached the realm of Sword God.

The only slight pity is that her Three-word Battle Armor was unfortunately destroyed in the last fierce battle with Tang Sang. To this day, the new Battle Armor has not yet Forging.

Otherwise, with the amplification of Xu Xiaoyan's dazzling Star Radiance at this moment, her Soul Power might really be able to infinitely approach the level of the Limit Douluo, unleashing even more terrifying combat power.

Xu Xiaoyan that Ye Xinglan was ready to Momentum Accumulation, Xu Xiaoyan pointed her Star Staff in her direction again, a resolute glint in her eyes.

The next instant, a figure wearing a dark red Cloak appeared in front of Ye Xinglan without warning. The sluggish feeling from the vacuum environment still lingered around him. It was the Dark Blood Demon who had been absorbed into the vacuum by the Star Annihilation Divine Light and then accurately teleported here by Xu Xiaoyan.

He was clearly not fully recovered from the effects of the vacuum environment; his eyes held a hint of surprise and seriousness.

"Star Fall!"

Ye Xinglan's eyes were sharp as swords. She let out a low shout, and her Ninth Soul Ring suddenly lit up. The Orange Gold light was dazzling and pushed her aura to its peak.

In her mind, the scene of her first life-or-death struggle with Tang Sang to protect Nan Fusheng at the Skysea Auction flashed by—that was the turning point in her sword path, the realization that she had to fight to the death.

Star Fall was a strike she condensed with all her will and power, containing the resolute determination to live in the face of death. This was Ye Xinglan's true sword intent, the ultimate swordsmanship she comprehended at the cost of her life.

The moment the words fell, Ye Xinglan's figure moved slightly, and she and her sword seemed to transform into a burning meteor, carrying a world-destroying momentum as she fiercely slashed down at the Dark Blood Demon in front of her.

The Stargod Sword cleaved through the Changkong, leaving behind a dazzling trail of light. Wherever it passed, space trembled violently, as if even heaven and earth were about to be split apart by this sword.

"Blood Demon!"

The Dark Blood Demon was, after all, a veteran Evil Soul Master had experienced countless life-and-death battles. Even though he had just escaped from the vacuum environment and his consciousness was still a little sluggish, his fighting instincts were already ingrained in his bones.

The instant Ye Xinglan's sword strike reached him, he reacted instantly. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he manipulated the Blood Demon Wraith behind him, which was closely connected to his own aura, to stand in front of him, attempting to use the strength of his Martial Soul to withstand this fatal blow.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening, as if two strange stones from outer space were violently colliding in mid-air.

However, Ye Xinglan's seemingly simple sword strike actually embodied all her power and will at this moment—it was the strongest attack unleashed by burning her own Soul Power, a peak sword strike unleashed by Super Douluo who had already touched the realm of gods, pouring out all her potential.

Even though Ye Xinglan's own Soul Power level had not yet reached the Limit Douluo, at this moment, with the double blessing of Starlight Amplification and the Sword God Intent, the attack power contained in her sword had truly touched the level of Limit Douluo, and with an indestructible sharpness, it slashed down fiercely.

"Whoosh--"

The dazzling Star Radiance ripped through the Changkong like a bolt of lightning, carrying a resolute force capable of tearing everything apart. The seemingly ferocious and powerful Blood Demon Wraith was as fragile as paper before this sword, unable to withstand it in the slightest.

Star Radiance pierced through the Wraith's body and fell unhindered upon the Dark Blood Demon.

The Dark Blood Demon froze on the spot, his eyes still filled with disbelief and astonishment. The next moment, a clear line of blood appeared above his head, spreading down the center of his body to his feet.

From top to bottom, from head to toe, his body was completely cleaved in two by this sword. Blood and internal organs gushed out mixed with black mist, splattering onto the ground and emitting a pungent, fishy stench.
