Spirit Hall's Golden Generation! The Final Battle Begins!

Chen Feng looked at the final message.

Group Leader: [Watch without worry.]

He closed the Chat Group.

The Azure Lotus Sword appeared on its own before the window.

Moonlight fell across its golden-green blade.

Patterns of flame, frost, and life slowly flowed across it.

Four black and one red, five Soul Rings appeared in sequence.

Level fifty-six soul power filled the entire room.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Sword Dao Right Arm Bone grew faintly warm.

The Azure Lotus Sword Domain spread outward, then swiftly retracted before touching the walls.

Chen Feng raised a hand and gripped the sword hilt.

"Spirit City's finals."

"They're finally here."

The next day.

Before the Papal Palace.

All the advancing teams stood in neat rows across the plaza.

Bibi Dong held the Papal Scepter as she stood at the center of the raised platform.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood on either side.

The Golden Generation stood beneath the papal platform.

Hu Liena looked across the crowd toward Heaven Dou Royal Academy's position.

Chen Feng stood at the very front of his team.

White robes, draped in a golden mantle.

The Azure Lotus Sword hovered at his side.

Bibi Dong's gaze fell upon him as well.

A moment later.

The Papal Scepter lightly touched the ground.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament."

"The finals."

"Officially begin."

Before the Papal Palace.

The finals had officially begun.

Over the following days, Heaven Dou Royal Academy successively defeated powerful teams from every division and smoothly advanced into the final round.

Blazing Fire Academy fell to Spirit Hall.

Huo Wu exhausted all her soul power, yet still failed to break through Demon Charm's red mist.

Tianshui Academy likewise stopped in the semifinals.

Shui Bing'er and Xue Wu's martial soul fusion skill was immensely powerful, but Xie Yue cleaved it apart head-on.

Blue Tyrant Academy encountered Spirit Hall ahead of schedule.

Tang San used the Clear Sky Hammer and Eight Spider Lances, but still could not reverse the defeat.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue's martial soul fusion skill shattered Blue Tyrant Academy's formation in mere moments.

Tang San had failed once again.

Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing were not injured.

Nor did Spirit Hall reveal any further methods.

Until the final day.

The finalists were officially determined.

Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Spirit Hall Academy.

Early morning.

The plaza before the Papal Palace was already packed with spectators.

Dozens of competing teams stood in the viewing area.

Bibi Dong sat upon the papal throne.

Her purple papal robes draped down between the white jade steps.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo stood on either side.

Three Soul Bones floated before the Papal Scepter.

Every Soul Bone radiated dense soul power.

"The Wisdom Skull."

"The Blazing Explosion Flame Right Arm Bone."

"The Rapid Pursuit Windchaser Left Leg Bone."

"These three Soul Bones are the champion's rewards for this tournament."

Bibi Dong looked toward the center of the plaza.

"The final victorious team may take them away."

A flood of discussion immediately rose from the viewing area.

Many Soul Masters fixed their eyes on the Soul Bones and could no longer look away.

Chen Feng stood at the very front of the Imperial Team.

A golden robe was draped over his white clothing.

The Azure Lotus Sword hovered at his side.

His four black and one red Soul Rings had not yet appeared, but the sword intent surrounding him had already forced nearby Soul Masters to retreat.

Hu Liena stood at the center of Spirit Hall's team.

Xie Yue and Yan stood on either side of her.

The other four Soul Ancestors formed a complete formation.

Three Soul Kings.

Four Soul Ancestors.

This was Spirit Hall's Golden Generation's true lineup.

The red-robed bishop presiding over the match stepped between the two teams.

"The Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament finals."

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy versus Spirit Hall Academy."

"Both sides, enter the competition area."

Chen Feng stepped toward the center of the plaza.

Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Shi Mo, Yu Feng, and Ao Siliuo followed close behind.

On the other side.

Hu Liena led Spirit Hall's team to their designated positions.

Their gazes met in midair.

"I've finally been waiting for this match."

Hu Liena smiled faintly.

"Chen Feng, everyone in the Chat Group thinks you'll win."

"I'd like to personally see just how strong the Azure Lotus Sword truly is."

Chen Feng raised his hand and grasped the sword hilt.

"You'll find out soon enough."

Dugu Yan glanced at Hu Liena.

"Little fox, it's not too late to surrender before the match."

Hu Liena extended a slender hand.

A fluffy fox tail unfurled behind her.

"Little Yanyan, it's still too early to say who will win and who will lose."

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor behind Dugu Yan slowly raised its head.

"Then we'll settle it with a fight."

The red-robed bishop raised his right hand.

"Both sides, release your martial souls!"

Soul power erupted in an instant.

Two enormous Moon Blades appeared in Xie Yue's palms.

The Flame Lord rose behind Yan.

Spirit Hall's other four members released their Soul Rings at the same time.

Yellow and purple light covered half the plaza.

On Heaven Dou Royal Academy's side.

The phantom of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon soared into the sky.

The Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor coiled behind Dugu Yan.

The Nine-Heart Begonia slowly bloomed in Ye Lingling's palm.

The Black Tortoise Shield fell before Shi Mo.

Yu Feng spread his wings.

Ao Siliuo completed his Ghost Leopard possession.

Beneath Chen Feng's feet.

Five Soul Rings rose one after another.

Black.

Black.

Black.

Black.

Red.

Four Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and one Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring appeared before everyone at once.

The crimson fifth Soul Ring pulsed faintly.

The immense pressure of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast instantly covered the entire plaza.

Spirit Hall's four Soul Ancestors all went pale.

Even the Flame Lord behind Yan shrank slightly beneath that pressure.

Upon the papal throne.

Bibi Dong lightly tapped the scepter with her slender fingers.

"The age of his Soul Rings has increased again."

"During the Heaven Dou Division, his first three Soul Rings were still thousand-year rings."

"How long has it been? They've all become Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings."

Chrysanthemum Douluo looked toward the center of the plaza.

"Chen Feng truly has quite a few secrets hidden on him."

Ghost Douluo nodded faintly.

"A level fifty-six Soul King with four black and one red Soul Rings."

"Such a Soul Master has never appeared in the continent's history."

The red-robed bishop retreated.

"Begin!"

The instant the referee's words fell, Hu Liena's fifth Soul Ring lit up.

Pink light spread from her body.

Her gaze passed over the Imperial Team and locked directly onto Chen Feng.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Light of Bewitchment!"

The pink beam arrived before Chen Feng in an instant.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Sword Dao Right Arm Bone grew faintly warm.

Transparent Swordheart activated on its own.

The moment all spiritual power entered the range of the sword intent, it was cleaved apart head-on by the Azure Lotus Sword.

Chen Feng's expression did not change in the slightest.

Hu Liena's face shifted slightly.

"Bewitchment is ineffective?"

Chen Feng raised the Azure Lotus Sword.

"Your spiritual attack is too scattered."

"You cannot control my Sword Heart."

Xie Yue immediately arrived beside Hu Liena.

The soul power on their bodies began to merge.

A red pillar of light shot into the sky.

Their two figures rapidly fused.

A long-haired figure, impossible to distinguish as male or female, slowly emerged from the red light.

The two enormous Moon Blades merged into one.

Dense red mist rapidly spread across the arena.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill."

"Demon Charm!"

The red mist covered the plaza.

The Imperial Team's vision was quickly affected.

Ao Siliuo could only see within three meters in front of him.

Yu Feng spread his wings, attempting to disperse the red mist with a gale.

Just as a large patch of red mist scattered, even more mist surged from Demon Charm's body.

Dugu Yan unleashed Jade Phosphor Purple Poison.

The purple-green toxic mist came into contact with the red mist and was immediately suppressed by soul power.

"Demon Charm can reduce the perception, soul power, and movement speed of all soul masters within its range by fifty percent."

Yu Tianheng completed the Dragon Transformation of both arms.

"Everyone, don't split up."

Ye Lingling raised the Nine-Heart Begonia.

White petals continually fell upon her teammates.

The Nine-Heart Begonia could heal injuries, but it could not remove the domain's suppression.

Deep within the red mist.

Demon Charm held the Moon Blades and charged straight at Chen Feng.

"Chen Feng."

"Within this red mist, everything is under my control."

The two Moon Blades slashed down from both sides at once.

Chen Feng stood where he was.

The Azure Lotus Sword rose on its own.

Clang!

The golden-blue blade blocked both Moon Blades.

Drawing upon the power of the martial soul fusion, Demon Charm continued pressing downward.

The stone slabs beneath their feet shattered one after another.

Yet the Azure Lotus Sword did not sink even the slightest bit.

"So this is Demon Charm's power?"

Chen Feng raised his right hand.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Sword Dao Right Arm Bone released a scarlet radiance.

"Transparent Swordheart."

The Azure Lotus Sword vanished from its original position in an instant.

The next moment.

The golden-blue blade had already appeared behind Demon Charm.

Demon Charm immediately turned around.

The two Moon Blades crossed before the chest.

The blade struck the Moon Blades.

A powerful force surged into the body through the martial soul.

Demon Charm slid backward along the ground for more than ten meters.

The two Moon Blades trembled continuously.

"The red mist didn't affect your perception?"

"Within my Sword Domain, nothing can evade my Sword Heart."

Chen Feng took a step forward.

Golden-blue sword intent spread out along the ground beneath his feet.

Every speck of dust within the red mist lit up with tiny sword lights.

"Azure Lotus Sword Domain."

Over ten thousand streams of golden-blue sword qi rose from the red mist.

The domain power released by Demon Charm was swiftly cut apart by the sword intent.

Blank spaces appeared throughout the red mist.

The plaza floor.

Broken stones.

Dust.

Fallen leaves.

Every object was covered by Azure Lotus Sword Intent.

Demon Charm looked at the omnipresent sword qi.

"Can all things become swords?"

Chen Feng did not answer.

His fifth scarlet Soul Ring lit up.

Blue-gold motes rose from every corner of the plaza.

An enormous azure lotus slowly bloomed beneath their feet.

"Fifth Soul Skill."

"Azure Lotus Ten Thousand Forms."

A second domain spread out.

Azure Lotus Ten Thousand Forms suppressed soul power, speed, and vitality.

The Azure Lotus Sword Domain governed swordsmanship and slaughter.

The two domains covered the arena at the same time.

The red mist released by Demon Charm rapidly contracted.

The soul power of Spirit Hall's other four members also steadily drained under the domains' suppression.

Dugu Yan immediately seized the opportunity.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor Formation!"

Jade-green poison gas gathered before the Imperial Team.

A massive Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor spiraled into the air.

The poison gas did not enter the area covered by Azure Lotus Sword Intent.

Every trace of poison, under Dugu Yan's control, rushed toward Spirit Hall's rear line.

Shi Mo raised the Black Tortoise Shield.

A heavy shield phantom descended from the sky, blocking the flames released by Yan.

Yu Tianheng charged out from the side of the Black Tortoise Shield.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon completed the Dragon Transformation of both his arms and chest.

"Fourth Soul Skill, Raging Thunder Fist!"

A blue thunderbolt fist seal slammed into Yan's Flame Lord.

Flames exploded in every direction.

Yan staggered backward repeatedly.

Yu Feng and Ao Siliuo crossed over the flames, charging straight for Spirit Hall's two support-system soul masters.

The Imperial Team's formation fully unfolded.

Yet Demon Charm could no longer continue supporting the teammates.

Over ten thousand sword qi had sealed off every inch of the surrounding space.

Chen Feng raised a finger.

"Myriad Swords Return to the Lotus."

Golden-blue sword phantoms appeared one after another.

One hundred swords.

Three hundred swords.

Five hundred swords.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Sword Dao Right Arm Bone was fully unleashed.

Five hundred Azure Lotus sword phantoms revolved around Demon Charm.

Every sword phantom accurately locked onto the Moon Blades' trajectory.

Demon Charm swung the Moon Blades.

"Full Moon!"

The two Moon Blades turned into circular wheels of light.

Dense blade light completely protected the body.

Azure Lotus sword phantoms descended from every direction.

The clanging of metal rang out in succession.

The first sword phantom was knocked aside by the Moon Blades.

The second followed close behind.

The third changed direction and fell toward Demon Charm's shoulder.

The fourth sword phantom struck the side of a Moon Blade.

The fifth sword phantom hit the same spot.

Ten swords.

A hundred swords.

The Moon Blades spun slower and slower.

Demon Charm's soul power also rapidly drained within Azure Lotus Ten Thousand Forms.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue forcibly maintained their fusion state.

Bursts of stabbing pain already coursed through both their meridians.

"We can't drag this out any longer."

Demon Charm gripped the Moon Blades with both hands.

All the remaining soul power within the body poured into the martial soul.

"Full Moon, Slash!"

An enormous red wheel of light swept out.

Chen Feng raised his right arm.

All five hundred Azure Lotus sword phantoms converged toward the center.

A nine-layered sword lotus bloomed in midair.

"Break."

The nine-layered sword lotus flew toward the red wheel of light.

The first layer of petals unfolded.

The red mist split apart from the center.

The second layer of petals spun.

The radiance of the Moon Blades began to shatter.

The third layer of petals descended.

The red wheel of light came to a complete stop.

The remaining six layers of the sword lotus unfolded at once.

Boom!

The red wheel of light exploded from the center.

The two Moon Blades flew from Demon Charm's grasp.

Demon Charm's fusion state was broken on the spot.

Hu Liena and Xie Yue were sent flying backward at the same time.

After landing, they each slid backward for more than ten meters.

Xie Yue braced himself against the ground with a Moon Blade.

Hu Liena raised her head.

An Azure Lotus sword phantom stopped before her brow.

Another sword phantom rested against Xie Yue's chest.

Chen Feng stood in the center of the azure lotus.

His white robes remained immaculate.

"You lost."

On the other side.

Yan was jointly suppressed by Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan.

The Flame Lord's defense was extremely formidable.

But the Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor's poison constantly infiltrated the flames.

Yu Tianheng's lightning also continued growing stronger with the Nine-Heart Begonia's support.

Yan punched Yu Tianheng back.

The jade-green serpent tail immediately swept in from the side.

Bang!

The towering figure was lifted off the ground.

Yan crashed heavily onto the edge of the arena.

Azure Lotus sword shadows descended at once.

Dozens of sword shadows surrounded the Flame Lord.

The sword tips were less than half a foot from Yan's body.

Spirit Hall Academy's other four members were likewise restrained by Yu Feng, Ao Siliuo, and Shi Mo.

The two support-type soul masters had already voluntarily conceded.

The remaining two looked toward Hu Liena and Xie Yue.

The martial soul fusion skill had already been broken.

All three members of the Golden Generation had lost the ability to continue fighting.

There was no longer any suspense about the result.

Hu Liena looked at the sword edge suspended before her brow.

"Azure Lotus Sword Domain combined with Azure Lotus Ten Thousand Forms."

"Demon Charm truly cannot withstand it."

She voluntarily withdrew her Fox Demon Martial Soul.

"Spirit Hall Academy concedes."

Xie Yue fell silent for a moment.

The two Moon Blades turned back into soul power and dispersed.

Yan looked at Chen Feng, who stood within the azure lotus.

In the end, he withdrew the Flame Lord.

The red-robed bishop hurried into the arena.

After confirming that every member of Spirit Hall Academy had abandoned resistance, he raised his hand and announced the result.

"The match is over!"

"The overall champion of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament—"

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy!"

The plaza instantly erupted.

The Heaven Dou Empire's competing teams all rose to their feet.

Ning Rongrong rushed to the front of the spectator area.

"Brother Chen Feng won!"

Dugu Yan withdrew the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor.

The purple figure swiftly came to Chen Feng's side.

"Overall champions."

"Yanyan knew you could do it."

Yu Tianheng released his Dragon Transformation.

He looked at the champions' seats before the Papal Palace, and a smile appeared on his face as well.

"The Imperial Team did it."
