Feeling the pressure from the blazing Sun and the angel holy sword, Ye Xishui's body trembled uncontrollably. It wasn't fear in her heart, but her martial soul, spirit, and soul power wailing.
It was like a vampire facing the midday sun.
Ye Xishui suppressed the fearful agitation of her Blood Soul Demonic Puppet and released her martial soul.
Behind her, a massive blood-colored human-shaped light-shadow immediately appeared, with twelve pairs of blood-colored wings. Her hands transformed into blood-colored giant claws, and nine soul rings—six black and three red—appeared on her.
Mu Yang looked out and saw countless innocent souls wailing within the Demonic Puppet. This Demonic Puppet seemed to be composed of innumerable souls.
Soul Beasts, young boys and girls, adults, and even the pure souls of newly born infants, all struggled ceaselessly in the purgatory of this martial soul.
"Filthy body, defiled soul…"
Mu Yang watched Ye Xishui with ice-cold eyes, and the Holy Sword in his hand let out an eager hum, but he did not make a move.
For him, simply defeating Ye Xishui was very easy. They had two demigods on their side alone, and Eilex's abilities suppressed Evil Soul Masters completely.
However, Mu Yang's main goal was not to eliminate the Holy Spirit Church; this was merely part of the plan.
What he needed was an overwhelming battle to gain the faith of the people of the entire Sun Moon Continent and even the Douluo Continent.
The crimson fire stream of the Soul Cannon tore through the night sky, and deafening explosions, along with chaotic energy currents, swept across the heavens.
More than twenty Title Douluo openly fought in the skies above Mingdu, and most of them were Evil Soul Masters. The Mingdu imperial family naturally could not stand idly by and dispatched nearly ten Rank-9 Soul Masters and an army, including Kong Deming.
And in the next instant after Mu Yang's words fell, the space around him was struck as if by a heavy hammer, and spiderweb-like cracks suddenly blossomed, with dark black dragon flames surging out from the fissures.
The blazing Sun seemed to become Mu Yang's eyes, and a shield flowing with molten gold patterns formed, blocking the erosion of the dragon flames.
"Those who insult Xishui shall die!"
Long Xiaoyao's enraged dragon roar reverberated in the sky above Mingdu. The seventh soul ring on his body flared with a burst of black light, and he transformed into a massive, ferocious black dragon.
Dragon scales surged like a tide of black ink, and in his dragon eyes was malice almost solidified.
"A person who deserves to die dares to speak nonsense."
Mu Yang's voice was very soft, but it overshadowed the cacophony of sounds from the various battles, as if it were on a different plane.
The light on Mu Yang's body intensified, and a bright figure, whose appearance could not be clearly seen, flashed behind him.
Then, a sense of holiness transcending the mundane arose, and the coldness in his eyes was replaced by a detached feeling of indifference to everything.
[You wish to borrow power from the Son of Light, Eilex, to gain his recognition and trust, and obtain all of his light-attributed power.]
[Obtained temporary skill: Son of Light Lv. MAX]
[Obtained temporary skill: Light Element Control Lv.69]
[Obtained temporary skill: Light Magic… ]
The information instantly flooded the screen. The previously somewhat barren panel was suddenly filled with various light-attributed abilities, but unfortunately, they were all temporary.
"Face the light and accept judgment."
Mu Yang pointed his sword at Ye Xishui, his tone indifferent, completely ignoring Long Xiaoyao, who was glaring in anger but was tightly surrounded by the National Football Team.
"Why?! Do Evil Soul Masters deserve to die?! Why does this world judge us as Evil Soul Masters from the very beginning?!"
Ye Xishui endured her fear and roared unwillingly.
Mu Yang did not respond to Ye Xishui's words, but the National Football Team, acting as his mouthpiece, gave the answer.
"Nonsense! If you don't die, do we die?!"
"If you're an Evil Soul Master for one day, you're an Evil Soul Master for life!"
"You've killed more people than most people in the world have seen! And you dare to say you're innocent?!"
"Blood Soul True Body!"
Ye Xishui didn't expect her words to truly make Mu Yang show mercy. She was merely buying time to release her martial soul true body.
The blood-red hundred-thousand-year soul ring lit up, and an evil and terrifying aura shot straight into the sky, like a blood-colored waterfall falling from the horizon.
The Blood Soul Demonic Puppet, a hundred meters tall, descended into the sky above Mingdu like a demon god crawling out of hell.
The Blood Soul Demonic Puppet, into which Ye Xishui transformed, suddenly erupted with a brilliant blood-red light, dyeing the sky above Mingdu a crimson color. Intense beams of blood-light suddenly burst forth, transforming into massive resentful spirits in the air, charging towards Mu Yang.
Blood Soul Grand Art!
This was Ye Xishui's famous ultimate technique.
There were a total of twelve blood soul resentful spirits, each the size of a human head. Each blood soul refined by the Blood Soul Grand Art had undergone hundreds of years of cultivation.
Ten thousand resentful spirits devoured each other under the effect of the secret technique, and only the final survivors were qualified to become blood souls. And these blood souls still needed to devour resentful spirits for a long time to become even stronger.
This move was enough to pose a life-threatening danger to a Limit Douluo, but Mu Yang's eyes showed no ripple. He swung the angel holy sword in his hand, and sword qi filled with sacred aura instantly shattered several blood souls.
The twelve blood souls, which had taken a hundred years to grow to their current state, could not withstand three strikes from the angel holy sword.
"Boundless Sea of Blood!"
Ye Xishui had no time to feel heartache. To survive, she unleashed her ultimate techniques one after another. A monstrous sea of blood spread outwards from her body.
The surrounding buildings were instantly dissolved upon contact with the sea of blood. However, Jing Hongchen had evacuated the crowd beforehand, and there was also Eilex's magic array blocking it, so this sea of blood did not cause too much damage to Mingdu.
"Screech!"
A fully feathered, illusory Sun God Bird condensed beneath Mu Yang's feet. Its soul-piercing cry caused the Holy Spirit Church members to become dazed, and the battle fell into a complete disadvantage.
The Sun God Bird spread its sky-covering wings, breathing out Sun flames under Mu Yang's control, and charged towards Ye Xishui.
"No!"
Long Xiaoyao, who was not within the range of the divine bird's attack, instead let out a pained roar. His amber dragon eyes turned into blood-red, soul-devouring orbs, and an abyss-like dark aura ignited from his body, forcibly breaking free from the National Football Team's control.
He actually burned his own soul power and soul directly!
All nine soul rings on Long Xiaoyao's body shone brightly, and his ferocious dragon body expanded again at a visible speed, charging towards the Sun God Bird as if embracing death.
"Xiaoyao!"
Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, at this moment, were like a pair of desperate lovers, facing the impending attack together.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, with tens of thousands of eyes staring intently at the scene.
The next second—
"Boom—!!!"
A destructive energy current, formed purely from energy, raged across the sky. The two sides, who had been fighting in a chaotic mass, all stopped their attacks and channeled their soul power to resist the impact of the current.
"How terrifying! Is this the battle of the Limit Realm?!"
"Are you blind? Didn't you see the Supreme Elder of the Sun God Sect constantly suppressing those two Limit Douluo?"
As the current gradually dissipated, a black reverse scale flew out from within, shooting straight towards Mu Yang's glabella.
Under the influence of the light, the reverse scale slightly deviated from its intended trajectory, grazing Mu Yang's cheek and leaving a shallow bloodstain, which healed instantly the next second.
Unbeatable!
Despair rose in the hearts of the Holy Spirit Church members, who were unaware of the inside story.
They wanted to escape, but the Title Douluo from various forces, including the Sun God Sect, Mingde Hall, and the Imperial Family, surrounded them tightly. The light barrier was like an absolute defense, completely unbreakable!
"Big brother, do we really have to attack this person?"
"No choice, the Sea God has given the order…"
