The Peak-Slaying Blade Descends to the Mortal World (A Little Emotional Trauma for Soul Masters Who Board First and Pay Later)

Buzz!

The Silver Blue Small Sword gave a faint hum and activated on its own without needing Golden Scale to trigger it.

Dismissing her Dragon Spear, Golden Scale charged at the Douluo in Sub-Dragon form without the slightest hesitation, sword in hand.

Contempt flickered through the dragon eyes of the massive Sub-Dragon Martial Soul Avatar.

"Overestimating yourself!"

A black Soul Ring behind him flashed. Dense Soul Power gathered in his mouth, and with a boom, he spat an incomparably fierce breath of dragon fire at the Golden Dragon Girl.

Her feet abruptly shifted direction as she threw herself sideways and forward. Web-like cracks spread across the ground beneath her feet, and the lethal dragon breath swept past the tips of Golden Scale's golden hair. Though she was not as powerful as a Titled Douluo even with the Soul Power enhancement, her smaller size made her attacks stronger per unit area and made her more agile. Ordinary attacks could not harm her at all.

Treading through flames and weaving beneath lightning scattered across the chaotic battlefield, Golden Scale charged at the Sub-Dragon Soul Master, [Banished Immortal] poised at her waist.

The moment she received this sword, she knew how to use it.

Black dragon breath, golden Phoenix Flame, earthen-yellow Qi Shield, green Poison Flame... The Soul Power fluctuations of numerous Titled Douluo flickered behind her. The refracted light combined with her own Soul Power and draped her in a dreamlike robe of pale gold.

Though she was only a Soul Emperor and still had a certain gap from a Titled Douluo even with her God-level Martial Soul and Melting Ring body tempering, she still charged at the powerful enemy without hesitation.

Because Mister would not lie to her.

Just as he had promised that she would break through to Soul Emperor within a year.

Buzz!

The Energy Ark at the core of the Silver-Blue Small Sword erupted in brilliant light. The entire sword, forged from ultra-dense peerless divine materials, turned into a dark-blue fluid amid a roar.

Swish!

Golden Scale raised the blue streak of light high and slashed at the Sub-Dragon. Her tiny body looked incomparably insignificant before it, and she could even clearly see the lingering contempt in its washbasin-sized dragon eyes.

The streak of light unleashed an invisible sword aura that passed through the Sub-Dragon's flashing Soul Ring defenses without obstruction, like gliding across water. Aside from stirring a faint ripple in space, nothing happened.

"So it's just for show!"

Though he did not believe that little girl could break through his defenses, that was still a Soul Tool given by that man, so he had been somewhat wary. In the end, aside from looking intimidating, it did absolutely nothing.

Golden Scale's expression beneath her golden helmet did not change at all in the face of his mockery. She silently held the blue-silver longsword, which had returned to solid form and lengthened.

"If you have no other tricks, then I'll catch... What did you do?!"

The Sub-Dragon Douluo had originally intended to seize the little girl and use her to threaten Chen Fu for some benefits. Yet he suddenly discovered that his Martial Soul Avatar was gradually being scattered by fierce winds like drifting sand.

Nine somewhat dim Soul Rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—appeared behind him. They activated in sequence, yet nothing happened!

"This sword is called Soul Slaying."

It could sever the pinnacle and cast it down to the mortal world.

Expressionless, the Golden Dragon Girl advanced through the powder-like Soul Power dispersing from the enormous Sub-Dragon.

Soul Beasts' mental influence Soul Skills were naturally ruled by the soul.

All [Banished Immortal] did was activate the remnant soul and then sever it along with everything else.

"You... you! What did you do to me?!"

Finding himself with Soul Rings but unable to release a single Soul Skill, the Sub-Dragon Douluo, reverted to human form, had encountered something utterly unheard of. Even his questioning voice trembled. Though not a trace of Soul Power had been lost from his body, and a Douluo's body was certainly no weak thing, none of it gave him the slightest sense of security.

What was the point of having nine rings if I couldn't use any Soul Skills?!

Golden Scale silently watched the Douluo powerhouse retreat step by step before finally preparing to turn and flee, and she sighed inwardly.

Sometimes, it seemed laughable that a bloodline ability like a Martial Soul Avatar was actually a Soul Skill that could be severed.

This sword was called Soul Slaying. The soul it slew was the Soul Master's soul.

Wanted to get on first and pay later?

Sorry.

Mister did not allow it.

The blue-silver blade compiled by [Youlan] from ultra-dense Mysterious Sky Meteorite Iron easily cut through scale-covered skin. Even the spine tightly wrapped in flesh and blood did not slow the sharp blade in the slightest.

Holding the beastified dragon-shaped head of the Sub-Dragon Douluo, Golden Scale showed not the slightest joy at crossing realms to slay a powerhouse.

"This sword is called Form Slaying."

Was a Titled Douluo's physical body strong? Was a Titled Douluo's physical body still strong after losing their Soul Skills and Martial Soul Avatar?

With Melting Ring body tempering, the Golden Dragon Martial Soul possessed a body capable of wrestling with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Besides, were the heads of Soul Masters, who could be injured by hidden weapons, really harder than a Level Nine close-combat Soul Tool originally designed to directly clash with a Titled Douluo's Martial Soul Avatar?

The Soul Emperor-level Golden Dragon Girl walked across the battlefield carrying the head of an esteemed Douluo, causing the Titled Douluo locked in chaotic battle to fall silent for a moment.

They had been watching the entire battlefield. After receiving a Soul Tool, the little girl had beheaded a Titled Douluo who had been pummeling her moments earlier with just two sword strikes. It was bizarre beyond belief.

Boom!

Someone could not hold back and suddenly attacked her.

Facing the even more powerful Titled Douluo who had suddenly attacked from the shadows, Golden Scale immediately threw out the Sub-Dragon Douluo's head. She burst forth with extreme power, sprinting wildly over the metal-strewn ground while rapidly and unpredictably changing direction. Each turn kicked up massive spiderweb cracks in the earth.

While evading, Golden Scale threw [Banished Immortal] toward Long Xiaoyao, who was not far away and had been "leashed" in place by Chen Fu, currently acting out a hyena-versus-lion scene. Her part had merely been a solo addition from Mister. It was time for the true protagonist to take the stage.

Swish!

A Titled Douluo skilled in speed wanted to seize that unusually bizarre Soul Tool. Activating a speed Soul Skill, he transformed into a rushing rainbow and sped forward, intending to grab it first.

But could he really get what he wanted?

Chen Fu's Soul Tools might have shortcomings in other areas, but their encryption technology was top-notch.

That Agility Attack Douluo swiftly overtook the other Titled Douluo with the same intentions and grabbed [Banished Immortal] as it streaked through the air.

"Ah!"

The Agility Attack Douluo suddenly cried out. A sharp pain struck his soul, and nine spots of different colors appeared upon his pure soul body, gnawing at and assimilating his soul.

His mind severely wounded, the Agility Attack Douluo lost his balance and plunged headfirst from the sky. Long Xiaoyao arrived and blasted him into the lake with one palm strike. Amid a tremendous surge of water, his fate was unknown.

[Authority... granted]

The silver-blue [Banished Immortal] appeared in his hand. The relevant methods of use were transmitted to Long Xiaoyao through mental fluctuations by the [Youlan] subsystem compiled within [Banished Immortal].

"...It's a fine thing!"

Long Xiaoyao's eyelid twitched as he fully understood [Banished Immortal] for the first time. Even he was somewhat frightened by this wicked thing.

He then looked toward the eight Super Douluo from various factions surrounding him. At their level of battle, ordinary Titled Douluo could not intervene at all.

"Though this may be somewhat inappropriate, I really want to ask: is this all the people you have?"

The Dao Slaying Sword in his hand gave Long Xiaoyao immense confidence. Unlike a Low-level Soul Master who needed to rely on a Generation 2.5 Ark Core to activate [Banished Immortal], his Limit Douluo Soul Power could unleash the true upper limit of this Dao Slaying Sword.

Buzz!

An invisible mental sword aura enveloped all of Shrek. With a single strike, Super Turtle Can Douluo, who had been tangling with him all this time, had his Martial Soul Avatar severed. Then, under the cover of the others, he dragged his body, nearly cut in half at the waist, and fled into the distance.

Buzz!

Another invisible sword that pierced through heaven and earth descended. The light sword, transformed into dark-blue fluid, slashed out a slender sword aura over a thousand meters long from Long Xiaoyao's hand. Everywhere it passed, the once lofty, imposing Super Douluo cursed as they scattered and fled.

A bald Super Douluo wreathed in green flames failed to evade in time and was swept by the invisible blade.

Of the astonishing nine Soul Rings behind him, one black Soul Ring visibly dimmed at a rapid pace.

"Damn it! Original Body Sect, retreat!"

Sensing that one of his Soul Skills had instantly vanished, Du Busi cursed furiously. A Super Douluo's mental resistance allowed him to avoid being completely cleaved through in one strike, but losing a Soul Skill from even grazing the blade was not something even the wealthiest family could endure!

Fortunately, it had not severed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Otherwise, he might truly have angered himself to death.

Seeing them leave, Long Xiaoyao did not pursue. His primary mission was to protect Chen Fu. He had thought it would be an arduous task, but unexpectedly, Soul Tools were truly wonderful—especially those in Chen Fu's hands.

"Still want to fight?"

Long Xiaoyao stood in the air, holding his sword in one hand and pointing it ahead. The Soul Masters in the direction he pointed scrambled away.

The three examples before them had already shown them exactly what the bizarre Soul Tool in Long Xiaoyao's hand could do.

"Retreat!"

They knew full well that this Soul Tool should not be allowed to remain in the world and had to be destroyed!

But this Soul Tool, whose suppression of Soul Masters was absurdly exaggerated, was now in the hands of a Level Ninety-Nine Limit Douluo!

Forget them—even powerhouses of the same rank could only ensure that one additional Soul Ring would withstand a few more strikes in his hands!

And the only Limit Douluo on their side remained unconscious!

Very soon, the Titled Douluo from every faction who had come to join the commotion burst away at top speed. They had to return and gather more people to destroy that wicked sword!

The Super Douluo of the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect returned to Ning Tian's side, where Qian Duoduo was protecting her. He knew that Ning Tian was the next Sect Master.

"So, can we have a proper conversation now?"

Shifting his gaze away from the Pavilion Master, who had conveniently fallen unconscious—the only top-tier powerhouse unaffected by [Banished Immortal]—Chen Fu then looked at the Shrek Academy Titled Douluo, who did not know where to run.

This was clearly their territory, yet Chen Fu seemed to be the master here. Even with his cultivation utterly ruined, he had merely pulled a Soul Tool from the ground and made their scalps go numb with fear.
