"A mere Soul Douluo! Go help the High Priest. I alone am enough to deal with her!"
Sea Ghost Douluo immediately charged forward, unleashing all his soul rings and his Martial Soul Avatar as he clashed with Feng Ying.
"Sea Ghost, be careful!"
Seeing this, Sea Star and Sea Maiden had no time to argue. They turned and went to reinforce Bo Saixi.
Everyone watched the battle on the Sky Screen intently. The people of the Douluo Continent knew that this battle concerned their continent's very survival.
If Sea God Island won, the Northern Underworld Empire's momentum would suffer a devastating blow, giving them a chance to strike back.
If it lost, their Douluo Continent would fare no better. After all, on paper, their continent had no more Titled Douluos than Sea God Island.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
In the conference hall, Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi, and the sect elders nervously watched the Sky Screen's livestream.
The livestream's bullet comments were refreshing at lightning speed, too.
[Douluo Continent · Chen Xin: I fear Sea God Island's chances are grim.
Bei Miao has yet to reveal his martial soul and is fighting with nothing but his armor. If he used his full strength, Bo Saixi probably wouldn't last ten moves.]
[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Your Excellency Sword Douluo, why inflate another's ambition and diminish our own might?
I think the real reason this fellow isn't using his martial soul is that his soul power is too weak to compare with High Priest Bo Saixi's.]
[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Your Excellency Sword Douluo, wouldn't you say I'm right? If his soul power really were strong, why wouldn't he use it as well?]
[Douluo Continent · Chen Xin: That... seems a little too hasty a judgment, doesn't it?]
[Douluo Continent · Tang San: Sword Douluo, there can be absolutely nothing wrong with what my teacher says. These so-called Five Elders look like nothing special to me-nothing but empty reputations.]
[Douluo Continent · Dai Mubai: Exactly. I agree with Grandmaster, too. This fellow is merely relying on his armor's power. Once that armor disappears, he'll be a lamb awaiting slaughter!]
[Douluo Continent · Liu Erlong: But if he unleashes that attack again, how are we supposed to stop it?
That blow shattered an entire stretch of sea. If it struck Shrek Academy, I'm afraid the whole academy would be destroyed.]
[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Not to worry! From my observations, this fellow probably can't use that move anymore. Otherwise, he could settle the battle with a single strike. Why would he keep fighting Bo Saixi for so long?]
[Douluo Continent · Tang San: Teacher is right. That's what I think, too.
That move probably consumes an enormous amount of energy. If he hadn't needed to clear the shipping route, he likely wouldn't have used it.]
[Northern Underworld Continent · Ying Xiao: Tsk, tsk, tsk. The Douluo Continent really is full of petty fools who can see no farther than a mouse. This Tang San and Yu Xiaogang are especially outstanding examples.]
[Northern Underworld Continent · Lu Hui: Old Ying, why bother telling these fellows any of this?
They've spent too long in their little speck of land and have never seen how vast the sky outside is. Their arrogance has already become ingrained. They won't listen to good advice at all.]
[Northern Underworld Continent · Ying Xiao: True enough. They don't know Ancestor Bei Miao's might, so it's hardly surprising they would react like this.
I don't blame them. Ancestor Bei Miao is simply too powerful, already far beyond their comprehension.]
[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Who are you people? How dare you call me shortsighted! Such audacity!]
[Northern Underworld Continent · Ying Xiao: Asking about me? I am Ying Xiao, master of the Water Virtue Sect, one of the Northern Underworld's five sects, and a Titled Douluo as well. Boy, who the hell are you?]
[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: Hmph! Is mocking other people's martial souls and soul power all you people of the Northern Underworld Continent can do?
Is this the refinement of a great sect?]
[Northern Underworld Continent · Ying Xiao: No, no, no. I'm only targeting you personally. After all, the moment you opened your mouth, you offended everyone on our Northern Underworld Continent.
Don't worry. We'll collect your corpse when the time comes, rather than leave it exposed in the wilderness. That's already the greatest kindness we can offer.]
[Douluo Continent · Yu Xiaogang: You! Stop trying to scare me! I'm not afraid!
You'd better pay more attention to Sea God Island! If you lose, your Northern Underworld Empire will lose every shred of face!]
[Northern Underworld Continent · Lu Hui: Lose? Hahahaha! Did I hear that right?
It seems that last sliver of wishful hope in your hearts still hasn't faded. Fine, then. Keep watching.]
Sea God Island's Third Battlefield, Sea Ghost Douluo versus Feng Ying.
"Brat, you dare stand in my way before even becoming a Titled Douluo? Come and die!"
Sea Ghost Douluo knew that Sea God Island's cause was already lost. Unless the Sea God manifested himself, its destruction was only a matter of time.
By now, his mindset was that trading his life for one enemy would be no loss, and taking two would be a windfall. He held nothing back, unleashing his full firepower. He no longer sought to survive, only to take his opponent down with him.
"Hahahaha! What is there to fear from a mere Titled Douluo? Since the day I was born, I, Li Fengying, have feared no one except the Progenitor!"
At Sea Ghost's words, Feng Ying burst into laughter. The Phoenix True Flame around her burned even more fiercely, proclaiming her surging fighting spirit.
"Arrogant fool! Your martial soul is fire-attributed, and I counter it with water. You have no chance of winning!"
Sea Ghost Douluo wasted no more words as he attacked, immediately unleashing his greatest power. He, too, had the optimal soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, and five black.
"Eighth Soul Skill, Phantom Demon Heart-Devouring Thorn!"
Sea Ghost Douluo gave a savage laugh. "Brat, die in agony within my illusion!"
"What a joke!"
Hearing that, Feng Ying sneered. "You think mere mundane water can extinguish my Phoenix True Flame? Have you drunk yourself stupid?"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Divine Fire Phoenix Avatar!"
The Divine Fire Phoenix behind Feng Ying let out a piercing cry. Soul rings encircled her from top to bottom, displaying their power in full.
And the ages of those soul rings left everyone dumbstruck!
Purple!
Purple!
Black!
Black!
Black!
Black!
Black!
Red!
Eight soul rings floated in orderly formation around Feng Ying. The final red ring was saturated with the power of flame, its scarlet radiance seemingly ready to set the entire sea ablaze.
That was right! Feng Ying's eighth soul ring was a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! Moreover, it was a God-Given Soul Ring from a Hundred Thousand Year Fire Phoenix, perfectly suited to her!
Looking at Feng Ying's outrageous soul ring configuration, the people of the Douluo Continent felt their entire worldview shatter. Everyone could not help asking themselves the same question.
Wait, is this right? Is that soul ring configuration of yours actually real?
Within the Sky Screen's livestream, the Douluo Continent section remained completely blank for several dozen seconds. Almost everyone had been stunned by that arrangement of soul rings.
After all, Feng Ying was the first person to display the Northern Underworld Empire's soul rings. In their eyes, Bei Miao had previously been someone with meager soul power who relied on his armor's strength.
Meanwhile, Long Wei was a soul beast who fought using his own body, which lacked the sheer impact of Feng Ying revealing a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
This time, Feng Ying had reaped a full harvest of shock from the Douluo Continent.
