Soul Emperor in Seconds

Ring Fusion belongs to a lost era of secret arts, but for an ancient sect like the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, they still possess relevant records within their archives.

Although the energy unleashed by Ring Fusion is inferior to the Ring Detonation of the Clear Sky Sect, as long as one's physique is sufficiently robust, it can support the fusion of multiple soul rings. One only needs to rest for a while afterward to recover, with minimal impact on the body itself.

Yellow, purple, purple, and black—all four soul rings merged into the final black soul ring.

At this moment, the age of Ning Que's fourth soul ring had reached thirty thousand years, equivalent to the soul ring of a Soul Emperor.

In the next instant, under the explosive effect of Ring Fusion, the soul power within his body poured frantically into the Soul Tool cannon.

At this time, Ma Xiaotao also broke free from the suppression.

She could clearly sense the power contained within this shot; even she dared not face it head-on.

But, who was she?

Ma Xiaotao, captain of the Shrek Seven Devils.

Facing a support-type Soul Ancestor, how could she possibly feel fear?

"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Cloud-Piercing Strike!"

Ma Xiaotao chose to resist head-on, using her strongest single-target attack.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao act so recklessly, he put away his contingency plans, waiting only for the final result.

The next moment, two powerful forces erupted—one scorching hot, the other freezing cold.

The gazes of the many disciples in the Inner Court were all focused here.

They never imagined that Ning Que, a support-type Soul Ancestor, could actually force Ma Xiaotao to unleash her full strength.

"Boom!"

Following a dull thud, the two powerful forces collided.

"How is this possible?"

The moment the two forces clashed, Ma Xiaotao instantly realized something was wrong.

This Soul Tool cannon actually contained the power of elemental stripping, directly suppressing her phoenix flames.

Only then did Ma Xiaotao think to flee, wanting to dodge, but it was already a step too late.

The intense cold air froze Ma Xiaotao solid, sealing her in ice.

Ma Xiaotao did not know that this Soul Tool cannon was prepared specifically for her by Ning Que. The materials used could have forged an 8th-grade Soul Tool, yet he had only used them to forge a 6th-grade one, with the elemental stripping function specifically targeted at her.

It wasn't that Ning Que was wasteful; on the contrary, he possessed Soul Tools tailored to counter every type of soul master.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Sect lacked nothing but money, so there was no need to worry about such things.

Furthermore, these Soul Tools of his could be upgraded later, with various functions added on.

Feeling the emptiness of his soul power and looking at the ice-sealed Ma Xiaotao, Ning Que knew that even such a method could not completely defeat his opponent. Given enough time, once the elemental stripping function wore off, she would be able to break free from the restraints and the ice.

But this was a battle; how could he possibly give her that chance?

Straining to maintain his state, he walked up to the ice-sealed Ma Xiaotao, made a throat-slitting gesture, and then walked off the stage.

"No way, Senior Sister Xiaotao actually lost, and to a support-type Soul Ancestor at that."

"Since when did Soul Tools become so powerful?"

"I think Senior Sister Xiaotao was going easy on him."

"Going easy? Look at that gesture—it's obvious. She's already had her throat slit. If this were a real battle, she'd be a corpse by now."

"Forget about whether she was careless or not; a loss is a loss."

"By comparison, I'm more curious about how Junior Brother Ning Que fused his soul rings just now. Was that some kind of secret art?"

The many students below watched this scene, discussing it fervently.

The few students from the Soul Tool department stood straighter than ever, explaining to the other students what kind of Soul Tool this was.

Not far away, Xuan Zi's face was dark.

The most outstanding disciples of this generation in their Inner Court had actually lost to a Soul Tool; he could not accept such a result.

On the other side, the battle between Dai Yueheng and Ye Guyi was still ongoing.

This was a result Dai Yueheng had never expected.

He had to admit that he had underestimated Ning Que before.

At the same time, he felt a secret joy; since Ning Que had already crushed the formidable Ma Xiaotao, then he, a Soul Emperor, would have no trouble defeating Ye Guyi, who was only a Soul King.

He would use this opportunity to let Ye Guyi witness his own strength.

Only then could he better conquer her!

"Has A-Que already won?"

"It's my turn next!"

Ye Guyi glanced at the battle scene to the side, a smile quietly appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Just now, when Ma Xiaotao was frozen, although Dai Yueheng had tried his best to delay and obstruct, she had been capable of helping. The only reason she hadn't was pure unwillingness; after all, who told Ma Xiaotao to look down on A-Que?

Next, it was her turn to claim victory.

"Third Soul Skill: White Tiger Vajra Transformation! Fifth Soul Skill: White Tiger Demon God Transformation!"

Facing Ye Guyi, even though the opponent's soul power was inferior to his own, Dai Yueheng dared not underestimate her, immediately unleashing the combination of his two augmentation soul skills from the start.

Even after ten thousand years, the Star Luo Dai Family still utilized the same soul skill configuration from ten millennia ago.

Just like the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, they maintained their ten-thousand-year traditions.

This was not because they were stagnant, but because after twenty thousand years of experimentation, they had found the optimal combinations.

The reason Ning Que did not follow the inheritance configuration of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for his soul rings was, naturally, because of Ye Guyi.

At first, the sect elders had rebuked him endlessly, but upon witnessing how Ye Guyi's holy attributes could reach the extreme under Ning Que's augmentation, they immediately fell silent and threw their full support behind him.

Of course, there was another very important reason for this: Ning Que was confident that his Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda would certainly evolve into the Nine Treasures.

With two heaven-defying augmentation soul skills stacked, Dai Yueheng's current boost was, in a sense, equivalent to a Martial Soul Avatar.

Coupled with the fact that the White Tiger was a top-tier beast martial soul, Dai Yueheng now dared to clash even with a Soul Saint.

"Fourth Soul Skill: Angel Judgment!"

Ye Guyi's voice was icy and detached; even though the pressure brought by Dai Yueheng was immense and heavy, she felt no fear.

Every one of her soul skills had been selected by A-Que through ten thousand years of inheritance and extensive research into martial souls.

Each soul skill was incomparably powerful.

Her fourth soul skill, Angel Judgment, was a single-attribute augmentation that increased attack power by two hundred percent.

Most importantly, this was not a purely augmentative soul skill, but a rule-based one.

It carried a piercing property that ignored defense.

Simply put, it could be understood that for defenses below the god level, as long as the soul power did not exceed hers by ten levels, it would result in one hundred percent armor penetration.

And that was not even counting the two hundred percent increase in attack power provided by the soul skill itself.

As the Holy Sword coalesced in her hand, Ye Guyi radiated a holy brilliance, appearing like a deity descending upon the mortal realm.

Opposite her, Dai Yueheng looked like a demonic tiger wreaking havoc upon the world.
