Watching the blazing sun in the sky, Qin Ming could feel a subtle change in his control over flames, one finer than anything he had experienced before.
Beside him, Incineroar moved with steady steps. Its aura was more restrained and profound than before, and whenever it occasionally swept its gaze around, a golden-red gleam flashed deep within its orange-yellow beast eyes.
Yet, amid the Divine Realm's eternal scent of sulfur and magma, there seemed to be an additional, faintly discernible sweet and bloody smell that made one's heart palpitate.
At first, it was only an occasional sensation.
While Qin Ming and Incineroar were heading toward a new Law Fragment fluctuation point, they were ambushed by three black-robed Evil Soul Masters.
All three were merely Soul Douluo, but compared to those they had encountered before, their eyes were far more frenzied. Their coordination, however, was eerily seamless, as though invisible threads controlled them.
The battle was not difficult. After Incineroar used Martial Soul Possession, it drew upon the Divine Realm's power with the support of the Law Fragment.
The fragment's suppressive effect on Evil Soul Masters was significant. Qin Ming restrained them from the side with his enhanced perception and fire control, swiftly defeating them.
Just as the final Evil Soul Master lay heavily wounded and on the verge of death, about to be teleported away, an abrupt change occurred.
The other two Evil Soul Masters, who had already fallen and begun to glow with teleportation light, suddenly erupted with viscous, bloodlike dark-red energy. It shot into their dying companion's body like tentacles!
"Aaargh!" The dying Evil Soul Master let out a shriek so miserable it no longer sounded human, and in the next instant, he was teleported away.
At the same time, the wounded Evil Soul Master's aura surged violently.
