Near-Death Counterattack, Adrenaline Ah

A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering explosion erupted, the resulting shockwave of energy rolling out like a tsunami.

Towering trees had their trunks snapped by the blast, and many were uprooted entirely and sent flying.

Lin Chuan, who had been watching from the sidelines, struggled to defend against the aftermath of the battle, his eyes never leaving the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the sky.

The beast was now covered in wounds, its flesh torn open and mangled, fresh blood streaming down through its fur.

The intense struggle had left it panting heavily, and combined with its gruesome appearance, it looked to be in a precarious state.

Yet, Chrysanthemum Pass, who was fighting it head-on, knew that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was not in any real danger; its injuries were merely superficial.

Sure enough, before the two could press their advantage, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger turned and fled toward the rear.

Sensing that the direction it was heading was exactly where Lin Chuan was located, Chrysanthemum Pass instantly formulated a plan and turned to look at Ghost.

The two were like a couple married for many years, their tacit understanding having reached its peak.

With a single glance, Ghost understood Chrysanthemum Pass's intent.

The two moved closer rapidly, a mysterious and profound aura permeating the space between them as their Martial Souls began to draw together and fuse as if pulled by magnets.

With the proficiency of their Martial Soul Fusion Skill and their seamless coordination, the two stood shoulder to shoulder, and in the next instant, the soul rings beneath their feet began to pulse in perfect synchronization.

The fusion was complete, and a terrifying spatial fluctuation condensed.

On the other side, Lin Chuan, having been spotted by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, was fleeing rapidly toward the direction of the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos.

However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was already furious by this point and was in desperate need of a blood sacrifice to recover.

Facing a human far weaker than itself, it channeled its power. With a mere flick of its right paw, dozens of massive energy claw marks, each five meters long, tore through the air at high speed, ripping toward the fleeing Lin Chuan.

The speed was so great that it left him no chance to dodge to the right.

The claw marks carried a rending force, appearing behind him as if to pierce straight through his body.

"Polar Static Domain!" *2

At the critical moment, two shouts rang out in unison.

The domain, using the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum as its anchor point, was instantly released from the petal blades beside Lin Chuan.

The world seemed to fall silent in that moment. Lin Chuan remained frozen in the posture of waving his right hand, as did the attack from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The space here had been locked.

Likewise, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger not far away was caught in the domain, frozen in a pouncing stance as if someone had pressed a pause button.

Looking at the leaves floating in mid-air before him, seemingly frozen in time, Lin Chuan understood the situation.

This was the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost: the Polar Static Domain.

This was his first time seeing it with his own eyes, and his first time experiencing it personally.

The feeling of powerlessness, where one struggled but the body refused to respond, was like having one's connection to their own limbs severed—a truly terrifying domain.

In the distance, while suppressing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and maintaining the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Chrysanthemum Pass had to split his focus to forcibly dispel the attack in Lin Chuan's vicinity.

"Quick, attack it! I can't hold this for long."

Chrysanthemum Pass gritted his teeth, a streak of blood leaking from the corner of his mouth as he spoke.

If not for their perfect coordination, with Ghost taking over the lead of the domain, the skill would have collapsed the moment Chrysanthemum Pass split his focus.

Chrysanthemum Pass could not endure the backlash for long; if his Martial Soul disintegrated, the domain would dissipate on its own.

Lin Chuan quickly adjusted his body, narrowly dodging the wind blade attack behind him before landing nimbly on the ground.

Behind him, ten purple-black energy attacks, imbued with wind attributes and corrosive toxins, tore through the wind and clouds, striking the surroundings and shredding numerous trees.

Regaining his composure, Lin Chuan waved his right hand and summoned his Martial Soul, the figure of Giratina growing inch by inch as it appeared in the air.

Five soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and black—flickered and hovered beneath it.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Hyper Beam!"

[(Self-Created Soul Skill) refers to skills that Giratina possesses inherently.

Soul Skills, on the other hand, are additions to Giratina's skill library that it did not have previously; activating a Soul Skill also acts as a buff that provides a hardcore energy reserve.]

[Explanation of the previous Soul Skill: By obtaining an electric-type soul ring, it is as if Giratina has learned a TM and mastered the Thunderbolt skill.

If it obtains a dark-type soul ring, that ring will be influenced by Giratina and change its attribute.

"Change" is not the accurate term; it should be called a metamorphosis.]

[Just like the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's dark attribute, it would metamorphose into an evil attribute.]

Giratina's figure swept into mid-air, looking down at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as it condensed an attack in its maw.

With the enhancement of the soul ring, the skill required almost no charging time.

In an instant, a beam of scorching white light, as thick as a water barrel, blasted out, dyeing the treetops beneath it a brilliant white.

Lin Chuan exerted almost his full strength for this strike.

It was not just the use of a soul skill, but also the reinforcement of his soul power input.

Sensing the violent and ferocious attack, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger struggled frantically to escape, yet could only watch helplessly as it was struck head-on.

Facing two Titled Douluo, along with a spatial domain capable of trapping a Super Douluo, many of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's skills and schemes simply could not be deployed in time.

The onslaught of the Hyper Beam lasted for a full half-minute.

On the verge of death, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger erupted, its strength surging once more.

Much like an adrenaline spike, its elemental energy grew even more powerful, and the muscles all over its body bulged high.

Under the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's frenzied struggle, the domain shattered like a dropped mirror, countless cracks appearing across its surface.

"Crack...!"

The moment the domain collapsed, Chrysanthemum Pass and Ghost were forced out of their martial soul fusion state.

However, both men were in poor condition; their faces were pale, and it felt as if an invisible hand were gripping their hearts, causing them to cough up a mouthful of blood in agony.

Having escaped danger, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was wreathed in monstrous black mist, with hatred, fury, and slaughter all intertwined.

"Roar...!"

A low growl of hatred and fury erupted from its slightly panting maw.

The moment its soul-capturing tiger eyes locked onto Lin Chuan, they surged with intensity.

With wind rising beneath its paws and purple lightning flickering across its hide, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged straight at Lin Chuan.

Its speed this time was even faster than before; having been severely wounded, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had tapped into its own potential, causing its strength to skyrocket.

Beyond its initial fury, its primary intent now was to devour the three of them, turning them into the energy needed to recover from its grave injuries.

Lin Chuan's expression was grave; almost instinctively, he activated his third soul ring, and a green barrier instantly enveloped him.

"Bang...!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger arrived in an instant, striking the barrier with a vicious claw, sending Lin Chuan and his cracking barrier flying backward.

With a ferocious look, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger bent its four legs to gain leverage, purple electric arcs crackling around its body as it gave frantic chase.

In the blink of an eye, its figure reappeared behind Lin Chuan, unleashing another identical claw strike.

Carrying the force of a thousand jun, the blow shattered the barrier entirely. Lin Chuan gritted his teeth as he was smashed into the forest, his body slamming heavily into the ground and carving out a deep trench.
