Lin Mo, wielding the Solar Storm Sword, plummeted from mid-air, the tip of the sword pointing directly at the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix.
Using the force of its fall, the crimson-gold blade of the Solar Storm Sword pierced into the body of the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix without any resistance.
Blazing white flames instantly erupted from the sword, scorching its flesh and bones from the inside.
The Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix let out a shrill cry, and its body instantly began to convulse violently out of control.
Before long, its broken body burst into crimson flames for the third time!
The third Nirvana!
"As expected, there was a third time!"
Lin Mo's eyes narrowed, and he immediately drew his sword and retreated hastily.
The Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix's body was rapidly reshaped in the Lie Yan, its broken wings were restored, and the pierced wounds began to heal at a visible speed.
This time, however, the flames on its body were noticeably dimmer, no longer as intense and dazzling as the previous two times.
Moreover, although his breathing had recovered, it still revealed a sense of weakness.
Lin Mo stared intently at the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix, which was being reborn from the flames. His eyes held a hint of solemnity, but even more so, excitement. Judging from the intensity of the flames erupting during this third Nirvana, this was most likely its final Nirvana.
This discovery filled Lin Mo with an overwhelming sense of excitement.
If we could obtain the Nirvana Talent of this Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix as the Sixth Soul Skill of the Charizard.
This would be a huge boost for him and Charizard.
He was extremely envious of the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix's Nirvana talent.
Under normal circumstances, a Soul Beast with only 60,000 years of cultivation would not be able to last that long in front of Dugu Bo, a Level 94 Titled Douluo.
But this Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix in front of us managed to escape from Dugu Bo's grasp by undergoing three Nirvana.
It was even extremely ferocious and wanted to take the three of them with it before leaving.
Otherwise, if it had insisted on escaping with its own Nirvana talent, it would have been quite difficult for them to keep it.
This also demonstrates the power of its innate Soul Skill.
"It seems this is its limit," Dugu Bo's voice came from the side.
He regained his footing, and the enormous body of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor once again coiled in mid-air, blocking the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix's retreat.
Ye Linyuan: "Three Nirvana —this beast's talent is indeed astonishing, but it ends here."
Lin Mo gripped the Solar Storm Sword tightly, its blade wreathed in blazing white flames.
"Senior, let's finish this quickly."
Dugu Bo responded, and the enormous body of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor suddenly shot out, once again coiling around the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix.
This time, the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix clearly showed signs of fatigue.
It barely managed to flap its wings to dodge, but its path was blocked by the Air Slash released by Lin Mo.
The Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix froze for a moment, and in that brief instant, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor had once again tightly bound it.
The snake's body tightened, and the sound of its bones cracking was clearly audible.
The Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix struggled fiercely, Spit Up crimson flames from its mouth in an attempt to Burn the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor.
But this time, its flames could not repel Dugu Bo's Toxic as easily as before.
The venom began to rapidly erode its body.
Lin Mo flapped his Dual Wingbeat, and his entire body transformed into a streak of crimson light as he plunged downwards, raising his Solar Storm Sword once more.
At the same time, the Fourth Soul Ring lit up, activating the Teleport ability in the Spatial Battlefield.
His figure suddenly disappeared in mid-air, and when he reappeared, he was already beside the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix.
A flash of sword light.
The crimson-gold blade swept past the throat of the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix.
The Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix tried to dodge, but the venom had already corroded its body, making its movements much slower.
It only had time to tilt its head slightly, avoiding a fatal blow.
But the blazing white flames erupted instantly at the wound in its throat, burning away its last vestiges of life.
The struggle of the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix came to an abrupt end.
Before it died, its eyes, burning with golden flames, stared intently at Lin Mo, the resentment in its gaze almost tangible.
However, that light quickly faded completely.
Its massive body went limp and fell silent.
A deep Black Soul Ring slowly rose from its corpse.
The appearance of the Soul Ring signifies the death of the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix!
Seeing this, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief as the enormous body of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor slowly dissipated.
After dispelling his Martial Soul Avatar, Dugu Bo landed back on the ground, his face somewhat pale.
The continuous use of his Eighth Soul Skill and his Martial Soul Avatar took a considerable toll on him.
Ye Linyuan strode forward, and the Nine Heart Begonia shone brightly, its healing power surging into Dugu Bo's body.
"It's nothing, just excessive consumption of Soul Power."
Dugu Bo waved his hand, his gaze falling on Lin Mo, "Kid, your foundation for this Sixth Soul Ring is truly solid."
Lin Mo on the other side also withdrew from the state of Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The Crimson Blood Flame Dragon Transformation was dispelled, and his figure returned to normal, with the dragon wings and Dragon Tail on his back disappearing.
Immediately, a strong sense of weakness surged into my heart.
He groaned, his body went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.
Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan, who were prepared in advance, helped him up in time, and Lin Mo was able to steady himself.
Self Martial Soul Fusion Skill consume a great deal of Soul Power, and the Solar Storm Sword, a special version of the Light of the Corona, is an even bigger consumer of Soul Power in the state of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
Through today's actual combat, Lin Mo personally experienced the differences between the Solar Storm Sword and the Light of the Corona.
Aside from the most significant difference that Light of the Corona is a burst-type area-of-effect attack Soul Skill while Solar Storm Sword is a weapon-type Soul Skill.
In terms of power, the Solar Storm Sword's single-target burst damage surpasses that of the Light of the Corona, but its area-of-effect damage is slightly inferior.
Regarding the consumption of Soul Power, it can only be used when one is in the state of Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
The Solar Storm Sword consumes far more Soul Power than the Light of the Corona.
Even though he and Charizard have both initially condensed their respective Soul Power Vortex, they cannot sustain this for long at this stage.
It was only because he had his two mentors, Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan, protecting him that Lin Mo dared to adopt such an aggressive fighting style.
Otherwise, if his Soul Power is over-consumed, he will be the one to fall into danger in this Star Dou Great Forest.
"Are you alright?" Ye Linyuan looked at him, his eyes filled with concern.
"It's nothing, just that my Soul Power was a bit depleted." Lin Mo took a deep breath and slowly straightened up.
With a slight thought, the Charizard roared and lay down beside him.
Lin Mo reached out and patted the Charizard's neck, then sat down cross-legged and began to regulate his breathing.
Charizard followed suit and began to meditate as well.
Dugu Bo and Ye Linyuan exchanged a glance but neither of them spoke to disturb them.
The two stood guard on either side of Lin Mo and the Charizard, cautiously surveying their surroundings.
This is the core area of Star Dou Great Forest. The commotion they just made was quite significant, and it's hard to guarantee that it won't attract other Soul Beast.
Time passed little by little.
Half an hour later, Lin Mo slowly opened his eyes.
He let out a long breath, the weariness on his face fading away.
The restorative effect of the Soul Power Vortex was indeed astonishing; in just half an hour, his condition had already recovered to a certain extent.
Although his current state is far from optimal, it's sufficient if he's only absorbing Soul Ring.
"Have you adjusted your condition?" Dugu Bo asked.
Lin Mo nodded, got up and walked to the corpse of the Scarlet Radiance Golden Phoenix.
The deep Black Soul Ring still hovered in mid-air.
"Let's begin."
The Charizard understood, opened its mouth and inhaled, and the Soul Ring slowly floated towards it, eventually disappearing into its mouth.
Lin Mo sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and concentrated.
Soul Ring Absorption, Begin.
The violent energy surged from the Soul Ring into the Charizard's body, and then, through the sharing of Soul Power between the two, it was transferred to Lin Mo's body.
This energy was extremely powerful, far exceeding any Soul Ring he had absorbed before.
After all, a 60,000-year Soul Ring is the kind of Soul Ring age that most Soul Master would choose when they reach the Eighth Soul Ring position.
Even with Lin Mo's current physical condition, he felt a sense of pressure absorbing such a high-grade Soul Ring!
He focused his mind and guided the energy within his body, refining and absorbing it little by little.
However, just as he was absorbing half of the Soul Ring's energy, he suddenly Frisk something amiss.
A familiar aura, mixed with the energy of the Soul Ring, surged towards him.
This aura is extremely unique, completely different from the energy of the Soul Ring; it is an extremely intense and pure Fire-type.
Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.
This feeling... it's kind of familiar.
When he absorbed his Second Soul Ring, he also felt a special Bloodline Power and qi surging towards his heart.
This time, however, the peculiar flame energy seemed to be flowing towards his back.
This discovery made Lin Mo's eyelids twitch, even though he had already entered the critical stage of absorbing Soul Ring.
No way?
Could this be another External Soul Bone?
