Decisive Battle Three [Crisis!]

"Black Flame Army, form up!!!"

Under the leadership of Murong Fuhai, the twenty thousand soldiers of the Black Flame Army shifted their formation. As they slammed their long spears into the ground, a massive black array condensed, shrouding the entire battlefield.

In an instant, a thin layer of black armor manifested over everyone on the Martial Soul Hall side, boosting their strength by roughly twenty percent. The Black Flame Army was an iron-blooded force that the Murong family had spent a century forging; whether in military formations, combat, sieges, or charges, they were the elite of the elite.

Now, with the Martial Soul Hall side bolstered by the Black Flame Army formation and the Sea God Island side empowered by the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, their strength was brought back to an even level. However, because the Black Flame Army needed to maintain their formation, they were unable to charge, leaving them slightly outnumbered.

"Hmph, very well. Let me see what progress you've made over all these years!" Seeing this, Haimala let out a cold snort. Terrifying spirit power surged around him as eight black and one red spirit rings descended. The pressure of a level 99 Limit Douluo erupted, and a golden Sea God Trident appeared in his hand.

Witnessing this, Qian Pocheng unleashed his aura. Eight black and one red spirit rings descended as well, and his Six-Winged Angel martial soul appeared behind him. A sacred aura emerged, though it was significantly weaker than Haimala's presence.

Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei exchanged a glance and nodded. As their spirit power surged, one white and one black stream of energy spiraled together.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill—Dual Flame Judgment Holy Dragon!!!"

As the domineering black flames of the Demonic Flame Heavenly Dragon merged with the purifying white flames of the Immortal Wing Flying Dragon, a giant dragon phantom covered in terrifying dual flames manifested from the void.

The dragon's body stretched thirty zhang long, its scales forged like mysterious iron. Its body flowed with pitch-black demonic fire that devoured all things, wreathed in bone-chilling white flames that purified evil. The black and white colors intertwined on the dragon's body, forming flowing divine patterns.

The dragon head was as majestic as a deity, its eyes burning like furnaces; the left eye held abyss-like black flames, while the right eye held holy white flames. Every blink spat out dual breaths of corrosion and purification. The dragon horns were spiral-shaped, their tips wreathed in black and white flames, and the dragon whiskers drifted like ribbons of fire.

The dragon claws were sharp as blades; the left claw condensed black flames, capable of incinerating mountains with a single strike, while the right claw was wreathed in white flames, capable of healing wounds with a light touch. As the dragon tail swept across, the black and white flames coiled like chains.

This was the foundation of the Murong family's status: the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Demonic Flame Heavenly Dragon and the Immortal Wing Flying Dragon—the Dual Flame Judgment Holy Dragon.

"Roar~"

The Judgment Holy Dragon let out a roar that shook the heavens, deafening all who heard it. The aura it unleashed surpassed that of Qian Pocheng nearby, rivaling Haimala.

A flash of astonishment crossed Haimala's eyes. He had not expected their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to reach a level comparable to his own, though the look vanished in an instant.

"Hmph, a fine Martial Soul Hall indeed. I underestimated you. Come, fight!!"

With that, the three of them tacitly flew away from the battlefield to begin their great battle in a stretch of open sea.

"Come, Haimala. Let us settle the grudges of the past today. Seventh Spirit Ability, Angel True Body!!" Knowing he was no match for Haimala, Qian Pocheng immediately activated his Martial Soul True Body. A layer of golden, sacred armor coated his body, a halo of holy light appeared behind him, and the Angel Holy Sword materialized in his hand.

Murong Chayue and Xiao Qingmei also channeled their spirit power, causing the Judgment Holy Dragon to be covered in a layer of armor, its aura surging violently.

"Good, then come!!!"

Haimala also erupted with spirit power. The Sea God Trident shone with boundless brilliance, and blue-gold light flowed over Haimala's body as he launched his attack.

"Kill!"

"Roar~"

The Angel Holy Sword and the dragon claws collided with the Sea God Trident. In an instant, a massive tidal wave was stirred up, and the shockwaves of the battle shattered several small islands.

This battle between the three could be called the peak of the last century. Yet, all three understood that there would surely be successors in the future who would be stronger than them.

However, none of the three, locked in fierce combat, noticed that at the bottom of the sea, thousands of meters beneath the waters where they fought, a pair of blood-red eyes opened silently.

On the other side, a fierce battle had also erupted on the battlefield.

Bo Saixi stood alone against Qian Daoliu and the Second Worship, Xinghe.

Golden Crocodile Douluo fought the entire Demon Soul Great White Shark clan by himself.

The others were also locked in one-on-one duels.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's combat effectiveness was significantly weakened on the sea, and the Demon Soul Great White Shark clan numbered in the hundreds, with over a dozen individuals over fifty thousand years old. Added to the empowerment of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, Golden Crocodile was unable to secure a victory in the short term.

The guardians of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island were already far superior to their successors in strength, and with the empowerment of the Seven Sacred Pillars—and fighting on the ocean—they all possessed the cultivation of Super Douluo. On the Martial Soul Hall side, several peak Douluo were being held back.

Individuals like Azure Luan, Xiongshi, and Guangling had not yet reached the level of Super Douluo, making their resistance quite strenuous.

"Hmph, now that you lack that weapon, you of Martial Soul Hall are like tigers with their teeth pulled. Today, leave your lives in the ocean!"

"Sea Spirit Master Legion, charge and kill!!"

Because the Red Barbarian Cannon had been completely destroyed by Haimala, there was no fire suppression. The Sea God Island army quickly charged into the Martial Soul Hall formation, and the two sides began to slaughter one another.

For a time, blades clashed, sparking fire. The surging waves crashed against the warships, attempting to break the formation of the Black Flame Army.

The Martial Soul Hall army was indeed no match for their opponents on the open sea. Casualties mounted quickly, and those who fell into the ocean were essentially devoured by sea spirit beasts.

"Eighth Spirit Ability, Sea Dragon Roaring Heaven Break!!"

The level 96 Sea Dragon Douluo released a powerful offensive spirit ability. Azure Luan Douluo could not defend against it and was severely wounded, crashing onto a warship while vomiting blood.

"Azure Luan!"

Xiongshi and Guangling were shocked, but their opponents, Sea Horse Douluo and Sea Snake Douluo, seized the opportunity.

"Eighth Spirit Ability, Light of the Tsunami!"

"Eighth Spirit Ability, Heavenly Spirit Brake Water!"

Xiongshi and Guangling reacted and hurriedly tried to resist with all their might, but they were blasted away, vomiting blood as they fell into the sea.

Just as the others were about to press their advantage and kill the three of them, Murong Fuhai hurriedly controlled the army formation, unleashing three blasts of energy to repel the opponents and save the trio.

"Cough, cough..."

The three were caught off guard and blasted back over ten meters, blood spilling from their lips. The current Black Flame Army formation was being led by Murong Fuhai, a level 94 Titled Douluo; if he could unleash the full power of the formation, it would be even more formidable.

"Damn it, the three of us must join forces to break this formation first. Once that's done, Martial Soul Hall will lose their buffs!"

Sea Dragon Douluo and the other two immediately attacked the military formation in unison. Seeing this, Murong Fuhai waved his formation flag, manifesting a defensive barrier to hold them back.

"Go all out and break the formation! Seventh Soul Skill: Sea Dragon Avatar!!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Sea Horse Avatar!!"

"Seventh Soul Skill: Sea Snake Avatar!!"

The three of them simultaneously activated their Martial Soul Avatars, slamming their full power into the barrier. Murong Fuhai channeled his soul power to resist.

Unfortunately, Murong Fuhai had to maintain the buffs for his allies while simultaneously fending off the trio's overwhelming assault, leaving him stretched too thin.
