This level of power, if directed at an ordinary group of soul beasts, would likely be enough to intimidate a portion of them.
But unfortunately, this was the Mystic Trace Canyon.
In this Death Canyon, the evil beasts had lost their normal sanity, and their behavioral patterns could not be compared to those of ordinary soul beasts at all.
Even though Yan was powerful and had caused extremely terrifying damage to a portion of the Wasteland Wolves, the remaining wolves that had not yet died—
Regardless of whether they had been injured previously or whether their bodies were still burning with flames—showed no fear in their eyes. Filled with bloodthirsty malice, they charged again.
Even if Yan stopped using close-range soul skills like Blazing Sun Burst, he pushed his martial soul to the limit. Combined with his control over the Fire Mountain Rock Flame and his astonishing strength, his punches and elbows could often heavily injure or even kill them.
Even when facing the few thousand-year Wasteland Wolves whose cultivation levels were similar to his own, as long as he activated his martial soul and used soul skills like Blazing Sun Burst, he could equally inflict severe damage and gain the upper hand.
But unfortunately, the number of Wasteland Wolves was simply too large. Even if it wasn't nearly a hundred, there were at least sixty or seventy. They swarmed in, attacking in turns. Even though Yan's strength was extremely formidable, he fell into a bitter struggle.
Furthermore, the Wasteland Wolves were bloodthirsty and brutal by nature, bearing a certain similarity to the ferocious Demonic Soul Great White Sharks. They would not even spare the flesh and blood of their own kind.
The corpses of the Wasteland Wolves killed by Yan all became their prey and food.
After rapidly devouring the flesh and blood of their fallen comrades, some of the Wasteland Wolves that had originally suffered significant injuries began to heal, further increasing the pressure on Yan.
After fighting for some time, he could not help but feel that the number of Wasteland Wolves he was facing did not seem to be decreasing at all, while his own soul power and physical strength had been heavily depleted.
After all, going all out and pushing his martial soul power to its peak, while enough to unleash combat power far exceeding that of an ordinary Soul Elder, also came with a high cost in consumption.
Just as Yan was locked in a fierce battle with the pack of Wasteland Wolves, Xie Yue and his two companions also made their move. Although the Ghost Tiger's strength was extremely formidable, Ling Xiao resisted with all his might.
Disregarding his own soul power consumption, he utilized the Vajra Barrier to trap the Ghost Tiger and its clones in one place, successfully buying enough time for Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
"Nana, are you ready?" Xie Yue said to Hu Liena.
"Mmhmm."
Seeing Hu Liena gently nod, their expressions became increasingly solemn. Xie Yue and Hu Liena channeled their soul power with all their might to activate their martial souls.
The soul power glow of the Moon Blade and Charming Fox martial souls grew increasingly dazzling and radiant. Strangely, however, the two did not unleash any attacks or soul skills. Suddenly, they both raised their hands at the same time and clapped their palms together.
In this instant, the radiance of Hu Liena's Charming Fox martial soul and Xie Yue's Moon Blade martial soul reached its absolute limit. The moment their palms met, their soul powers seemed to merge together.
Originating from the point where their palms connected, an astonishing silver and red light suddenly burst forth, spreading outward like a tidal wave and enveloping their bodies along with their martial souls.
"Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Charm Moon!"
The silver and red light suddenly paused after extending to a certain point.
The next moment, the radiance shifted, finally transforming into a ball of blood-red light.
It diffused across the battlefield at a speed far greater than before, resembling a massive blood-red barrier with a radius exceeding twenty meters, completely enveloping Ling Xiao and the Ghost Tiger.
Strangely enough, if there were a Soul Master whose cultivation level was similar to Ling Xiao's at this moment, staring into the red light from the outside would reveal absolutely nothing.
Even if they released their spiritual power, upon touching the red light, it would be like a mud ox entering the sea—vanishing without a trace and sensing absolutely nothing. For Ling Xiao, who was currently inside the red light, it was much the same.
His entire body was surrounded by red light.
Affected by this light, Ling Xiao could only barely see the area within five meters of him.
His spiritual power's perception was also similarly restricted to the range of his sight. It had to be said that the power of this bizarre blood-red light was extremely unique; being within it affected one's perception severely.
It was not merely a suppression of perception; it seemed to possess other powers as well.
The Ghost Tiger that had been close to him just now should logically be right beside him, but at this moment, it was far away from him. Otherwise, as they moved, they would have already encountered each other.
Although his perception was suppressed while he was inside the red light, Ling Xiao was no longer as weighed down with worry as he had been just moments ago.
He knew that with the release of this red light, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of Xie Yue and Hu Liena had been successfully executed, and killing this Ghost Tiger should not be a difficult task.
This bizarre and unpredictable red light was precisely the power of the Charming Fox Domain materialized. It was an extremely high-level energy, completely on par with the origin power within a martial soul.
According to his teacher, this Charming Fox Domain was a hidden power deep within Hu Liena's Charming Fox martial soul. Generally speaking, one's power needed to reach a certain level for it to manifest—at least reaching the Soul Saint realm.
However, who would have thought that through the Martial Soul Fusion Skill jointly executed by Hu Liena and Xie Yue, it could be used in advance under such special circumstances.
It must be said that this was a truly unique blessing, allowing Hu Liena to learn and control the power of the Charming Fox Domain a step early.
By the time she advanced to the Soul Saint realm and truly awakened the Charming Fox Domain, she would not need to spend time learning and mastering it then. She would be able to directly unleash the power of the domain.
Moreover, by that time, even without coordinating with Xie Yue to execute a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she would still be able to use this Charming Fox Domain.
As for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Xie Yue and Hu Liena siblings, Charm Moon, he had already experienced it long ago.
To be honest, the fact that Xie Yue's Moon Blade martial soul and Hu Liena's Charming Fox martial soul could produce a special resonance, giving them the qualification to jointly execute a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, was extremely rare even for Spirit Hall.
After all, even for the entire Douluo Continent, Martial Soul Fusion Skills were an extremely rare existence.
Currently, the most widely known one within Spirit Hall was the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the two elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo—the Bipolar Static Domain. It was an extremely rare domain-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill, and it possessed spatial attributes.
Once cast, everything within the domain would be frozen and immobilized.
Its control power was astonishingly high.
It was almost impossible for experts of the same rank to break free. Even when facing opponents with higher cultivation levels, it could forcibly control them and allow another expert to launch an attack.
It was an almost unsolvable method.
Of course, the Bipolar Static Domain was not unsolvable in the true sense. There was an endless variety of powers in the world, and there would always be entities capable of resisting it.
Although during the activation of the Bipolar Static Domain, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo also needed to maintain the power of the domain and could not perform additional attacks, this could be seen as both a disadvantage and an advantage.
The Bipolar Static Domain was pushed to its absolute limit by two Titled Douluo to the point where they could not even make extra attacks; naturally, the power with which it froze and immobilized all things was incredibly formidable.
Even if the opponent had a higher cultivation level or similarly possessed domain-type powers, although they could use this to give themselves some resistance, they would still not be able to directly shatter the Bipolar Static Domain and would remain trapped for a period of time.
This point was extremely advantageous when it came to exterminating evil soul master groups. Even high-level evil soul masters would often lose any possibility of escape due to being trapped by the Bipolar Static Domain.
The fact that the two elders, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, could become the punishment elders of the Judgment Hall and stand among the top ranks of the Elders Hall had a great deal to do with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, in addition to their profound cultivation levels.
