There Are Differences Even Among Soul Douluos

"Little Sage, how much longer can my spiritual power support Vector Manipulation?"

Both the immense calculations and the maintenance of that special spiritual domain consumed spiritual power. Compared to others of the same rank, Lin En's total spiritual power was like a stream compared to a lake.

But the Vector Manipulation Domain was like the Mariana Trench. Even if he poured that entire lake into it, it would barely cause a ripple.

"...Estimation complete."

"Fully activating the domain can be maintained for three minutes. Low-power interception mode has been activated."

Little Sage also knew that fully unleashing Vector Manipulation with Lin En's spiritual power was practically a fantasy, so it altered Vector Manipulation's activation method.

Once Lin En encountered an attack his body could not withstand, Vector Manipulation would automatically activate at the point of impact, reflecting the attack. This could greatly extend the domain's duration.

Lin En stood on the ground as his blue dragon scales closed once more. The golden light on his claw tips gradually deepened, faintly shifting toward dark gold.

These claws had originally come from the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear's bloodline.

It was just that the old man had feared such a super Soul Beast might kill him, so he had not injected too much of it.

By the time he obtained his Soul Rings, most of that bloodline had been devoured by the Dragon Clan Bloodline. As a result, the bloodline memory cells he produced were somewhat impure, a blend of the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear and the Hell Spirit Cat.

The Holy Spirit Disciple holding a long white-bone whip saw Lin En's lava-like Golden Eyes and instinctively took a step back, placing the Holy Servants in front of him.

The surrounding ground was covered in gouges from shattered bone fragments. His mind was nearly overloaded, and even his pupils trembled.

What had he seen? An Evil Soul Master colleague focused on strength and defense had been punched into a meteor by a Soul Grandmaster, and his life or death was now unknown!

The rules of Soul Masters no longer applied. How was that possible? A Soul Grandmaster and a Soul King were practically two different species. He had never heard of a Soul Grandmaster defeating a Soul King!

And those eyes, as though lions lurked within them—was he really human?

"I... I'm trembling?!"

"Am I afraid?!"

"That's impossible!"

The Bone Soul King instinctively denied it. He could not accept that he had been frightened by a Soul Grandmaster, yet no matter what, he did not dare meet Lin En's Golden Eyes again.

The sounds of hammering behind them grew louder, and the snapping of chains was clearly audible. The Bone Soul King realized something was terribly wrong. If that Soul Douluo with the Light Sacred Dragon Martial Soul broke free, they would all die here!

His desire to survive overwhelmed his instinctive fear. The Bone Soul King ordered the Holy Servants ahead to launch another self-destruct charge. These young Evil Soul Masters possessed tremendous energy.

Before Lin En could act, Zhang Lexuan, who had broken free from the sludge behind him, made her move. Crimson light swept across every area in front of Lin En.

Rocks, earth, and flesh all vanished within the light. Unlike the Moon Martial Soul of the past, Blood Moon specialized in violent slaughter.

Those Holy Servants at the Soul Elder and Soul Ancestor ranks could not withstand Zhang Lexuan's attack and vanished without a trace.

The long whip in the Bone Soul King's hand compressed at high speed. His fifth Soul Ring flashed, and a spiraling mass of dark-blue energy coiled around the whip's tip before shooting out violently, too fast for the naked eye to follow.

This attack was immensely powerful, yet it produced only a faint vibration in the air. The instant the sound arrived, so did the attack.

But unfortunately, the moment the whip's tip touched Lin En's head, it was reflected. The directions of all its kinetic energy and Soul Power were reversed.

The Bone Soul King was briefly dazed by the recoil. Before he could recover, Lin En gripped the long whip tightly, dragon scales and claws scraping against it at terrifying speed.

The Bone Soul King felt as though the legendary Bear Lord were pulling him from ahead, dragging his body directly toward Lin En.

As long as he stood upon the earth, the stress within the ground, the pull of gravity at the planet's core, the planet's own rotation, and the flow of the wind were all sources of his power. As long as those natural vectors were redirected, they became the most terrifying wrath of nature.

Lin En threw a completely unrefined punch at the Bone Soul King. Another chunk of spiritual power vanished, and the enormous vectors—even the recoil from his own punch—were all vented through this point and transmitted into the Evil Soul Master's body.

The Bone Soul King finally understood what his colleague had experienced just now. This was absolutely not power a Soul Grandmaster could possess!

Almost the instant the word "death" filled his mind, his entire body became a human cannonball and smashed viciously into the wall ahead!

Countless chunks of earth and rock were thrown into the air. When the dust settled, only a puddle of sticky flesh, impossible to identify, remained.

Lin En's battle had ended in victory, but the distant battle involving the three Soul Saints had ended in defeat. The three of them had already burned everything they had, their enormous Martial Soul Avatars collapsing with a crash. Their lives or deaths were unknown.

The Soul Douluo whose Martial Soul was Gui Mei let out a shrill roar:

"Ants! You dare kill my disciple?!"

Lin En could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth. Kill the young, and the old would come running. Fantasy novels truly did not lie.

The overwhelming Soul Power fluctuations forcibly tore up the ground. Lin En glanced at Zhang Lexuan behind him and helplessly shook his head. His figure flashed rapidly to her side, ready to help her block this attack.

A Soul Douluo was already considered a top-tier powerhouse in this world. Even a Soul Power eruption as casual as a sneeze could easily kill a Soul King.

Those Holy Servants died in the attack without even making a sound. Little Sage's reflection was ready to trigger, while Lin En's spiritual power was about to fall below the safety threshold.

"Kid! Lower your head!"

"Let your Uncle Yu deal with him."

"Mongrel, you sure barked loudly when I wasn't around, didn't you?!"

Hearing the familiar voice, Lin En relaxed and smiled.

"You finally made it. If you'd come any later, you'd be collecting my corpse."

Yu Mu'en rolled his wrist, the golden light in his eyes long since unable to restrain itself. Dragon roars shattered the ground one after another.

"What nonsense are you saying?"

"Would you even have a corpse left after a Soul Douluo's attack?"

Lin En rolled his eyes. He really wanted to punch the old man. Couldn't he say something more auspicious?

Facing that terrifying aura, Yu Mu'en clenched his fist and threw a simple, unadorned punch.

"Kid, watch carefully. This is Sovereign Over All Under Heaven! I'll demonstrate it for you right here!"

His fist touched the wave of air, and layer upon layer of vast will, like surging ocean waves, carried supreme dominance and flattened every trace of aura!

All the elements within the Holy Altar fell into an eerie silence, briefly forming an elemental vacuum, as if they feared that terrifying and majestic will.

Another punch shot forth. The Evil Soul Master Soul Douluo looked as though he had seen a ghost, his mouth hanging open as his entire body was pinned firmly to the ground. Not a single thought of resistance could rise within him.

A spear of light condensed from light elements appeared in Yu Mu'en's hand. With a flick of his wrist, it drew out a long streak of radiance and pierced directly through the Soul Douluo's heart.

Throughout the entire process, the opponent offered no resistance whatsoever. Like the surrounding elements, he had been stripped of all ability to act by that tyrannical force.

Lin En was deeply shaken, gaining a new understanding of top-tier powerhouses. There were differences even among those of the same rank. Uncle Yu killing that man had been no different from slaughtering a chick. No wonder he had once been the Sea God Pavilion's candidate master.

The remaining Holy Servants and disciples were also slain by various weapons formed from light elements.

Lin En looked toward Old Wolf, who had collapsed inside the dungeon, and hurried over to support him.

Little Sage scanned Old Wolf's body with spiritual power, and the bodily data rapidly scrolled through the Sea of Spirit.

"I will explain the condition of the individual codenamed Old Wolf in the most direct and straightforward terms."

"No saving him. Prepare a grave."

Lin En rolled his eyes, but still chose to support him. Even if he was going to die, he should at least be buried outside.

"Uncle Wolf, hold on. At least go see the sunlight."

Old Wolf's once-bulging muscles had withered away, and a deathly gray covered his resolute face. His origin had already burned out. Biologically speaking, he could already be declared dead.

His remaining spiritual power held on to his final breath. He smiled and said:

"Then I'll leave it to you."
