The Sacred Trump Card Beneath Extreme Evil! Ye Xishui's Second Martial Soul: Bright Phoenix!

"Raaah!"

This was the Dragon Emperor Douluo who had once swept unhindered across the world.

At this moment, he completely ignited his rank-ninety-nine ultimate soul core, even overdrawing what little lifespan he had left!

Two dragon phantoms, more solid than before and radiating pure deathly aura and darkness, appeared.

They thundered into being behind him, carrying a do-or-die resolve as they lunged toward Luo Feng to tear him apart!

"Still making a last stand? Since you insist on being this loyal dog, I'll grant you your wish!"

Facing Long Xiaoyao's final, life-risking strike, Luo Feng's gaze finally turned utterly cold.

He slowly put away the Heavenly Kingdom Holy Sword and brought his hands together before his chest.

Beneath his feet, the outermost million-year radiant golden divine ring, shining with dazzling sacred brilliance...

At last welcomed its ultimate radiance after his breakthrough!

"Ninth soul skill: Archangel's Ultimate Judgment: Divine Punishment Sky Light!"

"Hum!"

At this moment, the entire world turned into pure gold.

There were no flashy attack trajectories, nor any earth-shaking clash of energy.

The instant that almost tangible golden domain descended, time and space...

Even the twin dragon phantoms Long Xiaoyao had released by burning his origin were all forcibly frozen.

Then, under Long Xiaoyao's gaze of utter despair...

The two dark dragons condensed from his lifetime of cultivation were like pencil sketches wiped away by an eraser.

Within that absolute sacred twilight, they silently dispersed and were annihilated!

"No..."

Long Xiaoyao closed his eyes in despair. Before this terrifying golden light, powerful enough to erase all beings beneath the gods...

His proud body of a rank-ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo was simply frailer than a guttering candle in the wind.

Not only had he failed to protect Ye Xishui, he could not even stop this Divine Punishment Sky Light for a single second.

Under this absolute suppression of laws, he could even feel his soul being drawn out and purified bit by bit.

However, at the critical instant when this light of judgment was about to completely vaporize Long Xiaoyao!

"I won't allow you to die! Xiaoyao, you live!!!"

From the depths of the ruined crater, Ye Xishui, who had already been near death and whose Martial Soul True Body had even been forcibly cleaved apart by Luo Feng...

Suddenly let out a hysterical, shrill scream!

Immediately afterward, a strange fluctuation of energy that even made Luo Feng raise his brow slightly...

Burst forth without warning from Ye Xishui's battered, broken body!

It was definitely not nauseating, dense blood qi, nor was it the cold, viscous power of the Death God.

Instead, it was a pure, blazing force filled with boundless vitality and sacred, magnificent righteousness... ultimate light!

"Hum!"

Accompanied by a clear, resonant cry of a divine bird, as if it could pierce the nine heavens...

Under Long Xiaoyao's utterly shaken gaze, and beneath Luo Feng's faintly mocking stare...

A layer of dazzling golden radiance, sacred and inviolable, suddenly appeared over Ye Xishui's face, which had been as pale as paper.

Her long hair, stained with blood, instantly transformed into a brilliant bright gold, moving without wind.

It danced wildly in midair, forcibly dispersing all the lingering darkness and deathly aura around her.

Immediately afterward, the phantom of a gigantic phoenix over a hundred zhang long, its entire body burning with sacred golden flames...

Burst from behind Ye Xishui and soared straight up ninety thousand li!

Bright Phoenix!

The top-tier avian martial soul on the Douluo Continent, a sacred bird representing ultimate light and nirvanic rebirth!

Who could have imagined that this woman of such infamous notoriety...

The Death Goddess Saintess whose hands were stained with the blood of countless innocents, who had founded the most evil sect on the entire Douluo Continent, the Holy Spirit Cult...

The second martial soul she had hidden beneath her extreme evil was actually the purest and most sacred Bright Phoenix in this world!

Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red!

A full nine soul rings, each radiating a completely different aura, began to pulse anew beneath Ye Xishui's feet.

In particular, the final three glaring hundred-thousand-year red soul rings revealed the unfathomably terrifying foundation of her second martial soul.

At the final moment between life and death, Ye Xishui finally revealed the ultimate trump card she had hidden for over two hundred years!

"Light Nirvana! Phoenix Dances in the Nine Heavens!"

Ye Xishui suddenly spat out a great mouthful of origin blood burning with golden flame, her hands forming seals madly before her chest.

The enormous Bright Phoenix let out a clear, tragic cry, and its vast wings snapped shut.

It transformed into a golden cocoon of light, dazzling as the sun.

At an inconceivable speed, in the final 0.01 seconds before the Divine Punishment Sky Light descended, it locked Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui tightly inside, shielding them both!

"Rumble!!!"

When Luo Feng's [Ninth Soul Skill: Archangel's Ultimate Judgment: Divine Punishment Sky Light], containing million-year laws, slammed viciously into the nirvana light cocoon condensed by the Bright Phoenix, the entire border of the Sun Moon Empire seemed to erupt with an apocalyptic super-earthquake!

Two forces of ultimate light from the same origin, yet worlds apart in level, began the fiercest, most brutal collision in midair!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss!"

The ear-piercing sound of energy annihilation rang out without end.

How tyrannical was the Destruction law within the million-year Divine Punishment Sky Light?

The instant they made contact, countless fine cracks appeared across the Bright Phoenix's nirvana light cocoon, which was said to be indestructible.

"Pfft!"

Inside the cocoon, Ye Xishui threw back her head and sprayed out a mouthful of golden blood.

Her stunningly beautiful face twisted completely from extreme pain, and the skin all over her body began to split, threads of blood seeping out.

But she did not retreat even half a step. In those bright, autumn-water eyes burned an obsession bordering on madness.

"Block it for me!!!"

The Bright Phoenix's most heaven-defying talent was nirvana rebirth.

As long as a single breath remained, that endless fire of light could continuously repair injuries and re-form defenses.

With Ye Xishui burning her life origin without regard for the cost, supported by her rank ninety-nine ultimate soul core, the tottering nirvana light cocoon, under the scouring of the million-year divine light, miraculously maintained a bizarre balance!

Cracking, repairing. Cracking again, repairing again.

Every collision frantically squeezed dry the last trace of potential in Ye Xishui's body.

Long Xiaoyao knelt blankly inside the light cocoon.

Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful woman standing before him, drenched in blood yet still desperately holding up the shield of light, two streams of murky tears finally burst from his eyes.

"Xishui... you... why would you..."

He had always thought Ye Xishui was merely using him.

But he had never imagined that, in the face of true certain death, she would expose her greatest secret to save him.

She would even stake her life!

It lasted for more than a dozen breaths.

When the Divine Punishment Sky Light that had fallen from the nine heavens finally exhausted its last trace of might and slowly dissipated between heaven and earth, "Crack—bang!"

the Bright Phoenix light cocoon protecting the two of them also seemed to have exhausted all its life force.

With a mournful cry, it turned into a sky full of dim feathers of light and shattered completely.

"Thud."

Ye Xishui could no longer hold on. Her legs went weak, and she toppled straight backward.

Just then, high in the sky, golden feathers of light drifted down through the air.

The six pure-gold wings behind Luo Feng gently beat.

Like a supreme deity untouched by mortal dust, he slowly descended from the firmament.

He hovered in the air less than ten meters in front of the two of them.

Looking down from above at this wretched pair of doomed lovers, a faint trace of surprise flashed through his deep golden eyes.

But even more than that, there was undisguised mockery and coldness.

"Second martial soul, ultimate light. Bright Phoenix?"

Luo Feng folded his arms across his chest, the corner of his mouth curling into a playful sneer.

"I truly never expected that the mighty Death Goddess Saintess of the Holy Spirit Cult would have a bird symbolizing purity and holiness hidden in her bones."

"You use the most extreme evil to slaughter the world, then use the most extreme light to cling to your last breath. Ye Xishui, your hypocritical talent for playing both sides is simply even more impressive than your face."
