Facing Ye Xishui's attack, Mu En showed not a hint of fear.

He neither dodged nor employed any complex Soul Skill.

He simply raised his right palm slowly.

The movement appeared calm and unhurried, yet it seemed to stir the light of the entire world.

Within his palm, a point of gold, pure to the extreme, suddenly ignited.

The next instant!

"ROAR--!"

Accompanied by a dragon's cry even more majestic than before, that point of golden light erupted!

A golden pillar of light, condensed into a tangible form like a sword of dawn tearing through the darkness, surged into the sky from Mu En's palm!

The intensely pure aura of light was no longer a warm, gentle radiance, but had transformed into a force of supreme penetration and purification!

Wherever the pillar of light passed, Ye Xishui's viscous blood-colored domain dissolved violently, like boiling water poured onto snow, emitting a harsh "hissing" sound as if countless vengeful spirits were being annihilated in agony.

This was Mu En's self-created Soul Skill that shook the continent: Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Split!

Based on Reign Over the World and rooted in the Bright Sacred Dragon martial soul, it could shatter all evil.

Even for someone as formidable as Ye Xishui, who had long since reached the limit on the path of an Evil Soul Master.

Facing this pure judgment of light, the evil soul power she relied upon was still significantly suppressed and weakened.

Of course, while this move was powerful, it also depended on the state of the user.

If it had been a few months ago, when Mu En was still suffering from unhealed wounds, his essence depleted, and forced to rely on a wheelchair, even if he had forcibly used this move, its power would have been greatly diminished.

Unless he were at Shrek Academy, utilizing the power of the Golden Tree, his remaining strength at that time would have been insufficient.

This move might have made Ye Xishui wary, but it would have been hard-pressed to pose a genuine threat to her.

But today is not the past!

Mu En had now consumed a celestial herb.

Not only were his old wounds healed, but the immense medicinal power had also cleansed his meridians and nourished the essence of his martial soul.

It allowed him to recover to his peak and then advance even further!

At this moment, he was the complete, and perhaps even superior, Dragon God Douluo!

Personally feeling the immense soul power and light attribute contained within that golden light—far exceeding her estimations—the face that Ye Xishui had always kept shrouded in madness finally showed a drastic change for the first time!

"How is this possible?!"

A sharp, shrill cry escaped her lips.

She had assumed that even if Mu En's injuries were healed, he would at most have returned to a state of parity with her.

In fact, now that she had absorbed countless vengeful spirits and her own cultivation had progressed, she was confident she could suppress him.

However, the pure and domineering power of light before her eyes completely shattered her illusions.

"It is one thing for your injuries to be healed..."

For the first time, there was uncertainty, and even a hint of hidden terror, in Ye Xishui's tone.

"How can your cultivation be so much higher than mine?!"

Facing Ye Xishui's questioning, mixed with shock and unwillingness, Mu En did not respond.

Words were superfluous at this moment.

Two hundred years of grievances and entanglements could no longer be clarified in a few sentences.

He understood clearly now that for an Evil Soul Master whose very soul was steeped in madness.

Any explanation or dialogue would only serve as nourishment for her twisted mind.

Action was the only answer.

Mu En struck again, but unlike the pillar of light that soared into the sky in the "Dragon Emperor Evil-Breaking Split."

This time, the vast soul power of light centered on him and spread rapidly in all directions like mercury flowing across the ground!

Dragon Emperor Quake Domain!

These two self-created Soul Skills were created by Mu En, exhausting his life's cultivation and wisdom, specifically to restrain and suppress Evil Soul Masters!

Now, driven by Mu En's peak soul power—stronger than ever before—the might of these two skills was pushed to an unprecedented height.

The effect was nothing short of exceptional!

Ye Xishui attempted to mobilize her soul power to counterattack, but she felt as though she were trapped in an ocean of light; every movement was burdened by immense pressure, and her soul power flowed with extreme difficulty.

For a time, this notorious Death God Douluo was forced into a state of near-helpless embarrassment under Mu En's relentless suppression!

"Damn it! If the Death God Tower had been successfully forged, I would never lose to Mu En!" Ye Xishui let out a scream of frustration.

In the original work, the successfully forged Death God Tower was initially a Level 10 Soul Tool, though it was later retconned to be a peak Level 9.

Regardless of which version it might be, its power is beyond doubt; it is a lethal weapon capable of exerting a decisive influence on battles at the Limit Douluo level!

If it could be deployed at this moment, the tide of battle would surely be reversed.

Unfortunately, beneath the night sky of the Ming Capital, that terrifying tower of death was nowhere to be found.

Mu En naturally had no idea what was passing through the mind of Ye Xishui.

By now, the melancholy he felt upon seeing an old acquaintance had been completely suppressed, replaced instead by an intense killing intent.

Since he had encountered her ahead of schedule, and they were not in the Evil Demon Forest where the Evil Emperor—a fierce beast capable of suppressing him—resided.

This was nothing short of a heaven-sent opportunity!

Perhaps he could take this chance to finish her off right here.

To personally settle the evil seeds sown in his youth and the debts of sin he was obligated to repay!

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM—"

The night sky over the Ming Capital was torn asunder by the continuous roar of energy.

Mu En remained silent, golden light surging around him like a vast sea, relentlessly pouring destructive radiant soul power toward Ye Xishui's position.

The earth trembled, and the air wailed in agony.

Ye Xishui's figure staggered, her aura clearly in disarray; she was evidently under immense pressure.

Yet, a slight frown creased Mu En's otherwise tranquil face.

He could suppress her, but he could never translate that into a true victory, let alone a kill.

The root of the problem lay in Ye Xishui's martial soul, the Blood Soul Demon Puppet.

In terms of raw frontal offensive power, the Blood Soul Demon Puppet might not be the absolute pinnacle among the three Limit Douluo martial souls.

But when it came to survivability and the sheer number and deviousness of her life-saving methods, Ye Xishui was the undisputed number one on the continent today!

At this moment, deep within the blood-colored mist surrounding Ye Xishui that was being continuously purified by the light.

Twelve masses of vengeful spirits, each the size of a human head, were faintly twisting and writhing, slowly orbiting her like satellites.

For her, each of these vengeful spirits could serve as a resurrection armor, and when combined with the nirvana effect of her second martial soul.

To truly kill her, one would have to kill her at least fourteen times!

Relying on his current strength, Mu En could steadily suppress Ye Xishui.

But even wanting to kill her just once was already an incredibly difficult task.

Under his continuous suppression, although Ye Xishui's counterattacks were weak, her defensive measures remained effective.

Mu En could clearly perceive that his attacks, which were powerful enough to split mountains and cleave seas.

Every time they were about to strike Ye Xishui's core, they would be twisted and deflected by the eerie blood soul energy surrounding her, dissipating the majority of the damage.

If killing her once was this difficult, how could he possibly kill her fourteen times in a row?

This was a task almost impossible to complete in a one-on-one battle.

Unless one possessed a super-technique capable of absolute suppression, instantly evaporating all of her vitality and soul.

Or unless one had laid a net of inescapable traps in advance, cutting off all possibilities for her to escape or use a substitute for death.

Clearly, in this encounter tonight, although Mu En was the stronger of the two, he had not yet reached the level of absolute suppression.
