"World-Destroying Ancestral Dragon, Spirit King Appears!"

At the same time, Ye Qin's body seemed to be subjected to the dual oppression of ice and fire, and an indescribable pain surged up within him!

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill!" Ye Qin immediately realized.

Neither Ling Zhiruo nor Feng Qiling alone could possess such immense power. This had to be a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Ling Zhiruo and Feng Qiling were only level forty-four, yet they had surpassed Qian Luo to become the second and third seeded contestants. What they relied on was precisely their Martial Soul Fusion Skill!

Martial Soul Fusion Skills were exceptionally powerful techniques of Douluo Continent. Their strength depended on the quality of the users' martial souls and their Soul Power!

As seeded contestants, Ling Zhiruo and Feng Qiling naturally possessed powerful martial souls. Coupled with their Soul Ancestor-level strength, the power of their fusion skill was already comparable to that of a high-level Spirit King. No wonder Ye Qin was in such a difficult position!

"Let's see how long you can hold on!"

At that moment, a figure appeared before Ye Qin. One half of its face was blue, while the other was red, making it look exceptionally bizarre.

That figure was none other than the fusion of Ling Zhiruo and Feng Qiling—the Ice Fire War God!

Ye Qin was unable to hold on any longer. Just then, a terrifying dragon roar rang out as a massive black dragon spread its wings behind him and roared toward the heavens!

It was his martial soul—the World-Destroying Ancestral Dragon!

Vast energy immediately poured from the World-Destroying Ancestral Dragon's body. Its black radiance even eclipsed the moon's brilliance!

Against the backdrop of the World-Destroying Ancestral Dragon, Ye Qin appeared sacred yet eerie!

As soon as his ultimate-strength martial soul emerged, Ye Qin's aura soared, forcing the twin swords of ice and fire before him back at once!

"What martial soul is that?!" The Ice Fire War God's expression changed drastically.

He hurriedly drew the Ice Jade Sword and Fire God Sword back into his hands!

"Aren't you the Dragon Scale Flower Spirit?" the Ice Fire War God cried in shock at Ye Qin.

"Damn it, Twin Martial Souls!"

The entire crowd was stirred!

All sorts of martial souls had appeared during the battle, including quite a few high-level ones. Yet compared to Ye Qin's martial soul, they were not even on the same level, whether in size or presence!

Paired with his strikingly handsome appearance, it made everyone unconsciously look at Ye Qin with envy!

Not to mention that Ye Qin possessed Twin Martial Souls!

Not only them—even in the shadows, pairs of profound and weathered eyes narrowed slightly!

Ye Qin appeared completely unconcerned. He no longer needed to hold back!

The corner of his lips curved upward as black light flickered in his eyes. The second simulated yellow soul ring beneath his feet lit up. "Second Soul Skill, World-Destroying Dragon God Wave!"

The moment the skill was unleashed, black light burst from the World-Destroying Ancestral Dragon's body. As it roared, a visible black shockwave shot straight toward the Ice Fire War God!

The Ice Fire War God's gaze turned cold. He rubbed the two swords together, then sent an X-shaped beam of intertwined ice and fire head-on toward Ye Qin's shockwave!

The two bizarre beams collided in an instant, producing an ear-splitting explosion!

As the mysterious lights intertwined, this space seemed to enter a strange dimension!

"Attack!" Having witnessed Ye Qin's terrifying strength, the Ice Fire War God ordered the six Soul Ancestors beside him.

At his command, the six Soul Ancestors' soul rings flashed one after another, and their various soul skills all hurtled toward Ye Qin himself!

At this moment, Ye Qin was being restrained by the Ice Fire War God and could no longer move!

After all, while a martial soul fusion form could not last long, its power was absolutely formidable. Ye Qin could not defeat it easily.

It seemed Ye Qin was about to be defeated!

At that critical moment, a woman's voice rang out. "Ye Qin, I'll help you!"

Before her words had faded, a figure appeared in front of Ye Qin. The two blood blades in her hands whirled, their gleaming arcs of light knocking all six Soul Ancestors around Ye Qin to the ground, where they lay motionless!

Ye Qin focused his gaze. The figure wore armor and a mask, and her build resembled Hu Liena's. She was none other than Bewitching Charm, the fusion of Hu Liena and Xie Yue!

"Bewitching Charm!" At the sight of Bewitching Charm, the Ice Fire War God frowned and abandoned his confrontation with Ye Qin!

"Are you Hu Liena?" Ye Qin deliberately asked.

"To be precise, I'm the martial soul fusion form of my brother and me!" Bewitching Charm replied. "Ye Qin, leave Ling Zhiruo to us. Go help Barton and the others!"

"Alright!" Ye Qin nodded. "Martial soul, possess me!"

With his clear cry, black dragon scales surged over his arms, while his palms transformed into metallic dragon claws!

Then Ye Qin swung his sharp dragon claws and charged into the chaotic battle between the Elder Hall and Pope Hall factions!

Originally, the Elder Hall had firmly suppressed Pope Hall with its numerical advantage. But after Ye Qin joined the battle, the situation underwent a drastic change!

Ye Qin seemed unstoppable. Every time his merciless dragon claws came down, a low-level Soul Ancestor would be unable to withstand them and be sent flying to the ground, unable to move!

"His dragon claws are strange—don't touch them!" The Elder Hall members gradually discovered the unique effect of Ye Qin's dragon claws!

Indeed, aside from possessing ultimate strength, the World-Destroying Ancestral Dragon's mutated power also carried a potent paralyzing effect!

"Too late, brother!" Ye Qin smiled faintly and, like Ghostly Charm, appeared before the speaker. His dragon claw swept straight down toward the man's chest!

Yet at that very instant, a golden flash crossed Ye Qin's eyes. Almost simultaneously, a golden and ornate sword stabbed toward his forehead!

Sensing intense malice, Ye Qin abandoned his attack on the man and instead swung his dragon claw upward to block it!

Ye Qin looked up and saw a figure hanging upside down directly above him!

The man wore golden armor and had long golden hair and blue eyes. He bore some resemblance to Qian Luo, though he was clearly far more mature, with traces of a beard along his jaw!

What shocked Ye Qin most was the five conspicuous soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black—pulsing around the man's body!

The man's appearance with five soul rings immediately halted everyone's fighting, and they all looked at him in astonishment!

"It's a Spirit King! A Spirit King from our Elder Hall!" The Elder Hall members immediately reacted, cheering loudly.

"Wonderful!"

The Elder Hall faction, whose morale had been flagging, was instantly invigorated!

As one side rose, the other fell. The Pope Hall faction revealed looks of discouragement.

At this moment, the Ice Fire War God and Bewitching Charm were locked in fierce combat!

Both were Soul Ancestor-level Martial Soul Fusion Skills, and they were evenly matched, fighting with neither able to gain the upper hand!

"Young Master Qian, he's here!" The Ice Fire War God said excitedly upon seeing the man appear.

Then he sneered at Bewitching Charm. "Hu Liena, Young Master Qian has arrived. Your Pope Hall has no chance of victory now!"

Bewitching Charm did not answer him. Instead, she looked at the blond man with surprise.

"Little sister, he really is a Spirit King. What do we do? Our Soul Power won't sustain us much longer!" Xie Yue said in astonishment within Bewitching Charm's mind.

"I believe in Qin!" Hu Liena said confidently. "As long as we focus on defeating Ling Zhiruo before us, he'll give us a surprise!"

"Alright!" With that, Bewitching Charm was no longer affected by the Ice Fire War God's words. She continued wielding her blood blades and launched a new wave of attacks at her!

Seeing this, the two halls' factions once again plunged into fierce battle!
