"Call out!"
As the massive Bone Blade, wreathed in the wails of countless vengeful spirits and radiating an eerie Death Qi, swung down with overwhelming force, a strange, formless yet penetrating wave, directly targeting the Soul Origin, quietly spread out like ripples on water.
Its speed surpassed even the speed of lightning; almost as soon as the thought arose, it pierced through space and struck Lin Ming, who was being protected by everyone in the center!
"This is... a soul attack?!"
Sensing the strange fluctuations that weren't targeting the physical body but were directly eroding the Soul Ocean, the elders of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan all changed their expressions drastically, a hint of shock and anger flashing in their eyes.
They never expected that this Great Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall not only possessed Dou Qi ruthless and domineering fighting spirit, but also harbored such a cunning and bizarre soul attack method!
In a normal energy clash, even against Four-Star Dou Saint, they were confident that their numerical advantage, combined with the Dragon Clan's powerful physique and Dou Qi, would allow them to withstand the attack and ensure Lin Ming's unharmed state. But a soul attack...
This precisely strikes at the Achilles' heel of most Magical Beasts! Even the Ancient Void Dragon, the supreme beings among Magical Beasts, are often at a disadvantage in terms of Soul Power compared to top human powerhouses of the same level.
Therefore, facing this bizarre attack that embodies the lifelong soul cultivation of Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable, they can at most protect themselves from its corrosive influence. However, Lin Ming, whom they are protecting behind them, has Dou Qi cultivation level that is not even at the level of Dou Sheng. Faced with a soul attack of this level, wouldn't he be...
Just as the ancient Ancient Dragon Elder felt a tightness in their hearts and secretly cried out that something was wrong, and some were even prepared to forcibly intercept the invisible Soul Fluctuation at all costs, Lin Ming, who was at the center of the storm, showed no panic on his face.
At this moment, Lin Ming slowly raised his head, his gaze calmly meeting the sweeping Soul impact, a faint hint of mockery even appearing at the corner of his mouth:
"Great Heavenly Venerate, if you were to attack with the full Dou Qi of your Two-Star Dou Saint's boundless Dou Qi, I might have to temporarily retreat. But you have chosen to use Soul Power... In this area, I, Lin Ming, am not afraid of you!"
Before he finished speaking, a vast and powerful Soul Power, as strong as the sea and as refined as steel, suddenly surged out from between Lin Ming's eyebrows!
This Soul Power is so strong that it has surpassed the Spirit Realm Grand Perfection and has actually stepped into the legendary Heavenly Realm level!
Even more chilling is that, surrounding this solidified Soul Power, there is a layer of eerie, dark purple Heavenly Flames! As the flames flicker, they emit a terrifying aura that can incinerate all things and Purified the soul—it is the New Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame combines the properties of five Heavenly Flames!
"Buzz--!"
The invisible Soul impact crashed violently into the dark purple flame barrier, but the expected penetration did not occur.
The Dark Purple Flame seemed to possess a life of their own, churning violently. Wherever the flames passed, the soul blade light, imbued with a chilling and deathly aura, seemed to have encountered its nemesis, hissing as it melted away. Its momentum was forcefully blocked, and no matter how hard it tried to break through, it could not penetrate the seemingly thin barrier of flames, and in the end, it could only dissipate into nothingness unwillingly.
Seeing that Lin Ming had so easily neutralized the soul attack that had troubled them all, relying on his powerful Heavenly Soul and that Strange Flame, the group of Ancient Dragon Elder breathed a sigh of relief after a moment of astonishment.
Immediately, an indescribable sense of shame and rage erupted in their hearts like a volcano!
Qing Shan, the former Second Elder of East Dragon Island, was known for his fiery temper. At this moment, his ancient face flushed red, his eyes flashed with golden light, and his Dragon Might might spread uncontrollably, causing the surrounding space to creak.
His hair stood on end in fury, and his voice boomed like thunder. "Scum! You're asking for death!!"
With so many Dou Sheng present and on high alert, if Lin Ming, who only possessed the strength of Dou Venerate, were to be injured right under their noses, where would the face of the Ancient Void Dragon Clan be?
Moreover, Lin Ming had saved the entire Ancient Dragon Clan. If it weren't for his intervention, the Ancient Dragon Clan would still be embroiled in a civil war and fragmentation! To fail to repay such a great debt of gratitude and instead nearly endanger one's benefactor is an utter disgrace!
"Break!"
Enraged, Qing Shan held nothing back. His fists clenched, veins bulging on his arms like writhing dragons, and dazzling golden dragon scales instantly covered them.
He didn't use any fancy Dou Technique; he simply concentrated the ultimate physical power of the Ancient Void Dragon, which was enough to shake mountains and Space-Tearing, into this punch, and then unleashed it with all his might!
"Boom--!"
An invisible fist force, like a primordial beast unleashed, burst forth from the center of Qing Shan's fist. Wherever the fist's force passed, space shattered inch by inch, revealing a pitch-black void.
In mid-air, the fist wind, which was concentrated with the ultimate power, collided violently with the remaining physical blade aura of the giant Bone Blade!
There was no stalemate, no exploding fireworks, only the purest power crushing everything!
The Bone Blade's aura, powerful enough to split mountains and shatter peaks, was shattered like fragile glass by this domineering and unparalleled fist wind, completely annihilated into the most basic energy particles, dissipating into the world.
Qing Shan's punch not only shattered the Bone Blade attack, but also ignited the fury and fighting spirit of all the Ancient Dragon Clan's Dou Sheng.
The thrilling scene they had just witnessed left their faces burning with embarrassment, and they could no longer maintain the composure befitting top-tier experts.
Thus, apart from the former Great Elder Qing Mu of East Dragon Island, Qingmu, who flashed and landed steadily beside Lin Ming, his eyes scanning the entire scene warily as he fulfilled his protective duty, the other seven Dou Sheng, including the four Two-Star Dou Saints, all had cold light flashing in their eyes. Like a group of dragons eyeing their prey, they almost simultaneously transformed into seven streams of light of different colors, carrying overwhelming Killing Intent, and fiercely pounced on the three from the Soul Hall!
"This is bad!" The Great Heavenly Venerate's heart trembled violently.
Seeing Two-Star Dou Saint whose auras were no weaker than his own rushing towards him like mad tigers, he dared not be careless in the slightest. With a flash, he appeared directly below the hundred-foot-tall Bone Blade.
Its withered palm surged with Black Mist, instantly transforming into a gigantic black energy hand that blotted out the sky, grabbing the hilt of the stark Bone Blade.
"Bone Emperor Soul Slaying Blade!"
A cold shout escaped from its throat, and the massive Bone Blade emitted a teeth-grinding hum. Countless eerie runes on the blade suddenly lit up, exuding an overwhelming Death Qi!
The next moment, the Bone Blade Space-Tearing, seemingly ignoring the distance, and instantly traversed hundreds of feet, appearing above the heads of the four people, including Qing Shan, who were rushing towards them!
Before the blade even touched the ground, the extremely terrifying and sharp shockwave had already Space Lock around the four people, carrying the dual terrifying power of annihilating flesh and tearing apart souls, and slashed down furiously!
This strike was clearly one of the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable's trump cards!
"Be careful! That Bone Blade is strange; its Death Qi can corrode and wound the soul!"
The enormous Bone Blade rapidly magnified in the eyes of the four, and feeling the chilling, soul-piercing pain emanating from its edge, the battle-experienced Qing Shan immediately issued a stern warning.
At the same time, he pressed his hands down in front of him, causing his Dragon Emperor Bloodline to boil and unleashing a surge of immense Space Power!
"Void Dragon Fist!"
As Qing Shan pressed down with both palms, the space in front of him rapidly bulged and condensed as if it were alive, and endless void energy gathered, forming a giant golden Dragon Fist that was no less than the size of the Bone Blade in the blink of an eye!
This Dragon Fist was incredibly solid, with clearly visible dragon scales on it. It carried the supreme majesty of the Ancient Void Dragon ruling over space, and it collided fiercely with the Nether Bone Blade that was slashing down in fury!
"Clang--!!!!!"
Like two metal mountains colliding, a deafening clang of metal clashing suddenly erupted, and visible Sound Wave mixed with a terrifying energy storm swept wildly across the sky like a tsunami!
The space within the spatial barrier was violently rippled by the destructive energy generated by the collision. Light flashed rapidly, and faint, tiny cracks even spread out from the center of the collision, demonstrating just how terrifying the power of this collision was!
"Snort!"
Just as the Great Heavenly Venerate was fully activating his Bone Blade and locked in a stalemate with Qing Shan's "Void Dragon Fist," the other three Ancient Dragon Elders, all at the level of Two -Two-Star Dou Saint, were not going to give him a chance to catch his breath.
They immediately snorted coldly, their figures flashing like lightning, tearing through the energy storm from three different directions, and shooting towards the Great Heavenly Venerate's true form!
The three men's fists and palms were all imbued with terrifying Dragon Force capable of shattering mountains and rivers, and they mercilessly smashed towards the vital points around the Great Heavenly Venerate's body!
Seeing his attack blocked and three more powerful figures of the same level attacking, the Great Heavenly Venerate's eyes flickered with Ghost Fire, and he let out a cold snort of resentment.
The massive Bone Blade slashed fiercely, unleashing a burst of Death Qi from its edge. This forcefully suppressed the solidified Void Dragon Fist, dimming it somewhat, but it also distracted him from his main focus.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three muffled, thunderous sounds, like the beating of giant drums, rang out almost simultaneously!
In the sky, at the center of the raging energy storm, the storm shuddered violently, and the enormous Bone Blade, unable to withstand the combined pressure of four equally powerful individuals, was blasted back by an incomparably savage force!
As the Bone Blade spun rapidly, its size shrank quickly. Finally, like a kite with a broken string, it shot out of the energy storm, tracing a desolate arc before crashing heavily onto a distant mountain peak!
"Boom--!"
A terrifying force erupted instantly, and the towering mountain, as if struck by an invisible giant hammer, was instantly covered with spiderweb-like cracks from its peak to its foot. Then, with a deafening roar, it collapsed and turned into a huge pile of Ruins!
The Bone Blade, now dull and lifeless, lay limply among the rubble, several fine cracks even appearing on its blade.
Under the combined attack of the four Two-Star Dou Saints of the Ancient Dragon Clan, even a powerful figure like the Great Heavenly Venerate, along with his Bone Emperor Blade which he had refined for over a hundred years, was forced to drop his hand!
Although he managed to dodge most of the fatal attacks with his uncanny movement technique, he was still shaken by the violent energy shockwave, causing his Qi and Blood to churn and his body to stagger back hundreds of feet before he could barely regain his footing.
At this moment, he slowly wiped his mouth with his withered palm, and a dark red bloodstain appeared between his fingers, which looked particularly glaring.
