The moment those five pitch-black Soul Rings appeared!
Qian Xunji's expression changed.
Bibi Dong's expression changed.
The other Elders and Bishops' expressions changed.
Hearing about it was one thing. Seeing it with their own eyes was another.
A Soul King who had absorbed five Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings—such a thing would shock the entire Douluo Continent.
Qian Xunji cursed inwardly. When he had stripped Lin Feng of his Soul Power and Soul Rings, he thought Lin Feng would never rise again.
Now it seemed he had done Lin Feng a favor.
With those ordinary hundred-year and thousand-year Soul Rings gone, Lin Feng had seized the chance to absorb Soul Rings over ten thousand years old instead.
"Not killing you before was a mistake. I'll correct it today."
"Angel Domain!"
At the same time, Lin Feng reacted instantly.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Profound Water Abyss!"
Black and white light spread from the two of them at incredible speed and collided fiercely in the forest.
The force of the clash tore towering trees and low flower bushes alike into shredded leaves and petals.
The Angel Domain held sacred fire that could dissolve Soul Power, making it exceptionally effective at suppressing ordinary Soul Masters.
Any other Soul King would have been left waiting for death the moment the domain appeared.
But Lin Feng's Profound Water Abyss contained Dark Water, bitterly cold and heavy. Anyone caught in it would sink as though into a mire. It did not fear the Angel Domain.
The two domains clashed violently. Everywhere the onlookers looked, black and white light filled their vision.
Qian Xunji's eyes widened in horror.
"That's impossible! How can a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill match my Angel Domain?"
Lin Feng merely smiled and gave no answer.
An ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill could not match the Angel Domain, of course. But his Soul Skill came from a ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring.
Water nourished wood!
Lin Feng immediately followed up with his First Soul Skill.
"First Soul Skill: Touch of Green Wood!"
Dozens of enormous Azure Vine tendrils spread out from the Profound Water Abyss. Nourished by the Dark Water, their toughness and strength increased by at least twenty percent.
The tendrils, thick as pythons, cracked through the air and sealed off every route Qian Xunji could use to dodge.
Qian Xunji sneered. "A petty trick. They're just vines—"
A tendril lashed him across the face. His cheek swelled, and the blow left him stunned. Then a dozen more struck him all over, drawing scream after scream from him.
Qian Xunji was no fool. It was not that he did not know how to dodge. He had simply assumed the Azure Vine would burn to ash as soon as it entered his Angel Domain.
The result was nothing like he had expected!
The tendrils were not the least bit afraid of his sacred fire.
How could that be?
Caught off guard, Qian Xunji was whipped around like a spinning top by the dozen tendrils.
He could never have guessed that Lin Feng had eaten Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, gaining extraordinary resistance to both ice and fire.
Angel fire was stronger than ordinary flames, but Lin Feng's Azure Vine came from a fifty-thousand-year Azure Vine Soul Beast. With the support of Infernal Delicate Apricot and Profound Water Abyss as well, it had nothing to fear from the flames.
"Your Holiness..."
Several Elders and Bishops called out in concern. Soul Power surged through them, and their auras flared as though they were about to intervene.
Bibi Dong bit her fingernail and cursed inwardly. Useless fool. Qian Xunji can't even handle Lin Feng.
Qian Xunji finally recovered from his daze. Humiliated and furious, he flushed red beneath his swollen face.
"How dare you!"
Qian Xunji finally began to dodge. His six angel wings spread, and he flashed like lightning through the gaps between the tendrils.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Angel Holy Sword!"
Sacred fire surged in his hand, compressing into a broad sword engraved with intricate, beautiful flame patterns.
Qian Xunji swung. A blade of flaming energy cut through the air, leaving a long gash in an Azure Vine tendril. Fire still burned along the cut.
That nearly made Qian Xunji lose his composure. His eyes bulged as he shouted in rage:
"How is this possible? Just how old was the Azure Vine your Soul Ring came from? It can withstand sacred fire and even the Angel Holy Sword!"
"I can kill an ordinary Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast whenever I please, yet now I can't even cut through a vine!"
Lin Feng brought his hands together, a mocking smile curling his lips.
"You're past your prime, old man. This day next year will be the anniversary of your death!"
Under Lin Feng's control, three to five Azure Vine tendrils twisted tightly together, forming a single, thicker vine.
The Angel Holy Sword could leave a mark on one tendril, but it could not cut through several bound together.
The thick vines lashed at Qian Xunji. He could only rely on his speed to dodge them. His sword could not cut them, and his fire could not burn them. Frustration seethed inside him.
"You little beast. Fine. Very fine!"
"Today I'll teach you to respect your teacher—and show you the true power of a Soul Master!"
"Seventh Soul Skill: Angel True Body!"
Blinding light filled the world. The Angel Phantom took solid form, as though it had gained flesh and blood, like the Angel God descending upon the mortal realm.
The Angel God appeared!
The Angel Domain's power nearly doubled. It finally overwhelmed Profound Water Abyss, forcing the black light back to a radius of only a few meters around Lin Feng. He had nowhere left to run.
"Try this, you little beast!"
"Ninth Soul Skill: Angel's Glory!"
The pressure on Lin Feng surged. Qian Xunji had been driven to desperation and intended to hit him hard.
Lin Feng took a deep breath. He did not yet have a Martial Soul Avatar, but he had Ring Fusion.
"Ring Fusion: Yellow Earth Undying!"
In an instant!
The Fourth Soul Ring fused into the Fifth Soul Ring. Metal nourished water.
The Fifth Soul Ring fused into the First Soul Ring. Water nourished wood!
The First Soul Ring fused into the Second Soul Ring. Wood nourished fire!
The Second Soul Ring fused into the Third Soul Ring. Fire nourished earth!
The five Soul Rings became one. The terrifying Soul Power they released made the energy of heaven and earth so dense that the air itself seemed to freeze.
Green, red, yellow, white, and black light—the five colors of the five elements—blazed from the Soul Ring as it hung high in the air like a divine halo.
All that overwhelming Soul Power pressed into Lin Feng's body. His face turned crimson, and veins bulged on his forehead. His bones and meridians felt like strings pulled taut. Cracks opened across his skin, and blood seeped out until he looked drenched in it.
"Ah Yin..."
Lin Feng forced the words through gritted teeth.
Ah Yin held Lin Feng tightly. Light radiated from her body as it turned almost transparent, and at last she merged into him.
Ah Yin's pure life force filled Lin Feng with vitality, pulling his body back from the brink of collapse.
Boom!
The golden beam of Angel's Glory hurtled toward Lin Feng with the terrifying power to destroy everything in its path.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
An earthen wall rose from the ground and blocked the earth-shaking golden beam. Connected to the earth, it spread the beam's devastating force across the land.
The ground cracked inch by inch and shook violently, as though an earthquake had struck. Countless towering trees were uprooted and toppled in every direction.
Behind the earthen wall, Lin Feng was completely unharmed.
