Douluo: The Peerless King of Beast Tamers

Chapter 198 Sublimation, the Ultimate Fire?
Ma Rulong's eyes seemed to be covered by a layer of frost, gradually becoming cold and deep. The soul guides around him flashed with precious light, reflecting his stern face.

His left hand gently stroked his back, the movement was gentle but with a hint of determination.

At this time, behind Ma Rulong, a blood-red core magic circle was flashing and jumping on his vest.

The magic circle was like a beating heart, emitting a strange and powerful aura. Thick blood flames burned around the magic circle, as if to ignite the surrounding air.

It was a seventh-level soul guide device called the Chapter of Memorial.

This memorial chapter has terrifying power. Once activated, Ma Rulong's own vitality and potential will be sacrificed.

It was like a greedy devourer, constantly absorbing Ma Rulong's life essence, but also instantly increasing his physical and soul strength, allowing him to burst out with terrifying power far beyond his own level.

However, Ma Rulong naturally could not hold on for too long with such power obtained at the cost of his life.

But now he is in a desperate situation and has no choice.

The hidden cards of the Hongchen siblings were revealed by Zhou Sichen alone, which was something no one expected.

The originally well-planned tactics were completely disrupted and the situation took a sharp turn for the worse. The only thing he could do now was to try his best, even if the final result might be death.

As the chapter of memorial service was activated, Ma Rulong slowly clasped his hands in front of him. His movements were steady and powerful, as if he was gathering all his strength.

A strong golden light flashed, like the rising sun, illuminating the surrounding darkness.

I saw the soul rings on his body flashing with light. Those soul rings seemed to have life, constantly beating and shining, releasing powerful energy fluctuations.

His own momentum was also rapidly increasing, like an erupting volcano, and a strong sense of oppression was overwhelming.

Under the influence of this aura, he completely abandoned other soul guides, leaving only a golden-red giant sword in his hand.

Ma Rulong tightly grasped the hilt of the golden giant sword with both hands, and his knuckles turned white from the force.

He slowly raised the sword, and every movement seemed to carry a tremendous force.

A strong golden light emanated from the sword, like golden rivers flowing on the sword.

Looking closely, there are nine core magic arrays extending from the bottom of the sword tip to the hilt. These magic arrays are flashing with mysterious light, as if telling of the extraordinary nature of this giant sword.

A strong golden light flickered, and rays of light continuously burst out in the air like fireworks.

Ma Rulong raised the giant sword above his head, and his eyes gradually turned golden, revealing determination and madness.

"Use me as a sacrifice and the judgment will awaken!" Ma Rulong roared to the sky, his voice resounding through the clouds, carrying endless momentum.

He poured his own soul power into the giant sword at an astonishing speed. Because he poured it in so vigorously, one could even see circles of white light rising from under his feet, like ripples, passing through his body, and finally converging at his hands and pouring into the giant sword.

The giant sword that was shining with golden light also began to undergo miraculous changes. Starting from the hilt, the golden light quickly converged, as if attracted by an invisible force.

Gradually, the giant sword turned into two colors. The sword spine on one side turned white, pure and dazzling, like the first snow in winter; while the other side turned black, deep and mysterious, like the endless darkness in the universe.

The two contrasting colors are mixed in the golden light it emits, which looks a bit weird, but exudes a powerful attraction that is irresistible.

"He is darkness, condemning heresy."

Ma Rulong held the giant sword in both hands, muttered something, and then suddenly pointed it in the direction of Ma Xiaotao. His movements were decisive and powerful, and at the same time, he pointed the black side of the sword towards Ma Xiaotao.

A black light shot out from the giant sword at an extremely fast speed, like a black lightning.

The black light was like a crack that split the dark abyss, carrying with it an endless breath of darkness that rushed up in an instant.

Ma Xiaotao integrated the fifth soul skill into herself, transformed into a fire phoenix and swooped down, her whole body ablaze with flames. The flames seemed to be able to burn everything, bringing with them scorching heat and powerful force.

But when the black light arrived, her flames that were powerful enough to burn everything were completely useless, as if she had met her natural enemy.

The black light flashed for just a moment and then merged into her body.

Suddenly, Ma Xiaotao felt something strange in her body, as if countless ants were crawling inside her.

The originally crimson Phoenix flame suddenly turned black. A dark and cold feeling spread throughout her body, causing her to shiver uncontrollably.

In an instant, a familiar yet unfamiliar evil energy surged out of her body and condensed with the black flames. She felt like she was about to lose control, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Boom boom boom!"

At the same time, Lin Xi and Micah each used their own soul guides.

Lin Xi's figure flashed, and he quickly activated the defensive soul guide. A glowing energy shield instantly unfolded, steadily defending against the golden sword energy that was coming across.

The sword energy hit the shield, making a dull sound and splashing circles of energy ripples.

Micah carried the soul guide and operated it quickly with his fingers. Beams of energy poured out and shot towards Ye Guyi with powerful attack power.

At this moment, the giant sword in Ma Rulong's hand turned over, with smooth and quick movements.

The white side burst into an intense incandescent color, like the core of the sun, so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.

"Light - Sword of Judgment!"

The golden sword light also shone to its extreme in an instant, and a rich breath of light instantly swept across the entire place, as if to dispel all the darkness.

Ma Xiaotao screamed as the power of light had a strong impact on the dark flames and evil energy in her body.

The black flames on her body actually began to mist out in large patches, as if being broken down bit by bit by the power of light.

At the same time, she felt as if she was being disintegrated by the power of light, and her body seemed to be pricked by countless needles.

The Phoenix Flame in her body was almost dissipating bit by bit, as if it was about to escape from her body. She tried desperately to suppress it, but felt powerless.

The Sword of Judgment in Ma Rulong's hand was definitely not something he could make, because it was an authentic eighth-level close-body soul guide device, and it was the pinnacle of eighth-level soul guide devices.

The Sword of Judgment is a combination of darkness and light. It is like a fair judge that can instantly integrate the power of darkness into the enemy's soul power, turning the enemy into an uncontrollable dark attribute, while at the same time judging the opponent with its own powerful light attribute.

When encountering a weak enemy, the opponent's soul power can be destroyed in an instant, or even completely destroyed under the bright aura of the Sword of Judgment.

Ma Rulong is only a sixth-level soul engineer. Even though he has reached the level of a seventh-level soul engineer, his soul power level is still only at the sixth-ring level.

Therefore, if he wants to use the power of this level eight sword of judgment, he must pay a huge price.

Under the effect of the Chapter of Memorial, he could barely unleash one-fifth of the power of the Sword of Judgment, but even so, the power brought by these five points of power was enough to drastically change the situation of the battle.

At this moment, the battle situation has fallen into a desperate situation, and the dawn of victory is becoming increasingly slim, but Ma Rulong's eyes are burning with a flame of determination.

As the captain of the Sun and Moon Team, the responsibility and obligation are like a heavy shackle, but it is also the driving force for him to persevere at this moment.

He knew very well that even if the road ahead was full of thorns and hope was slim, he had to stand up and give it a try, because the honor of the team and the trust of his teammates weighed heavily on his shoulders.

In order to turn the tide in this battle, he gritted his teeth and made a desperate decision. He was willing to pay the heavy price of not making any progress in his cultivation for the next year and suffering a heavy loss of vitality, and used the Sword of Judgment produced by Mingde Hall.

This Sword of Judgment embodies the hard work of countless people. It is the pride of Mingde Hall and the only hope in his hand at this moment.

However, this sword of judgment is not invulnerable.

The only time it won't work is when facing an opponent with a light or dark martial spirit.

Ye Guyi and Zhou Sichen both have pure light-attributed martial spirits. The power of this eighth-level soul guide is like sealed in them, and it is completely unable to exert its desired effect.

But Ma Xiaotao is different. She has the attribute of fire. In Ma Rulong's view, this is the key to his turning the tide of the battle.

Hearing Ma Xiaotao's painful screams, Ma Rulong's mouth corners slightly raised and a hint of imperceptible pleasure flashed in his eyes.

He only felt that all the pain and price he had endured were rewarded at this moment, and an indescribable pleasure instantly spread throughout his body.

In his heart, victory seemed to be waving at him.

"Light - Judgment!" Ma Rulong's eyes flashed with madness and determination, and the belief in victory in his heart had reached the extreme.

He suddenly took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet trembled slightly because of his step. The Sword of Judgment in his hand, with endless power and momentum, slashed towards the falling Ma Xiaotao.

The sword blade cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, as if it was going to tear everything apart.

At this time, Ma Xiaotao was in deep pain.

Because of the invasion of dark forces, her martial soul was temporarily out of control, her body was shaking uncontrollably, and she was completely unable to maintain stable flight.

At this moment, every breath she took was filled with pain, as if she had returned to the tormenting moment when her martial soul was still the Evil Fire Phoenix and the evil fire erupted.

The pain went deep into her bones and almost suffocated her.

"Damn it! Is it possible that my evil fire is not completely eliminated?"

Ma Xiaotao's pretty face was twisted in pain. Looking at Ma Rulong's Sword of Light Judgment slashing towards her, she felt as if her whole body was being purified, as if she was about to turn into ashes under the power of light.

However, Ma Xiaotao is a strong man who has experienced countless hardships after all.

She quickly calmed down because she found that Zhou Sichen did not look back.

This was definitely not a blind eye to her, but an unwavering trust in her.

Zhou Sichen believed that she had the ability to resolve the crisis and believed in her strength and will.

Otherwise, Zhou Sichen would never have ignored her.

Her martial soul is no longer the evil fire phoenix, but the real fire phoenix!

The phoenix, the king of birds, is noble and powerful. Even among the dragon clan, only the most powerful dragon can be compared with it.

Among the phoenixes, the fire phoenix has the purest bloodline.

After taking the cockscomb phoenix sunflower seeds given to her by Zhou Sichen, her evil fire phoenix was completely purified and evolved, becoming a true fire phoenix martial spirit.

This is her pride and her confidence.

Feeling the dark power raging within her body, she recalled the pain she had experienced when she was tortured by the evil fire.

Those painful memories have now become her motivation to move forward. Ma Xiaotao's eyes are full of calmness, and beneath that calmness is a burning fighting spirit and an indomitable soul.

"How dare a mere darkness pollute the king of birds!" Ma Xiaotao shouted angrily, her voice resounding throughout the venue, carrying endless majesty and momentum.

She no longer suppressed the Phoenix Flame in her body, and her body surface instantly burned with scorching flames.

The flames were black and red, almost the same as when the evil fire broke out, but for some reason, the black color in the flames began to be burned away, turning into black smoke and dissipating in the air bit by bit.

The originally strong aura of the Black Phoenix slowly dissipated, and was replaced by the purer and more powerful power of the Fire Phoenix.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao's martial soul began to mutate and sublimate in an instant.

She was originally the Fire Phoenix, the king of birds. At this moment, under the dual stimulation of the power of darkness and light, her bloodline was completely aroused, and her martial soul evolved unprecedentedly.

"Buzz!"

The sword of judgment came down, but it did not bring the punishment and judgment that Ma Rulong had imagined.

The power of light pouring out from the Sword of Judgment did not strike Ma Xiaotao, but was blocked by a layer of extremely rich red light.

That light, like the radiance of the sun, is dazzling and blazing, filled with endless vitality and power.

Ma Xiaotao slowly landed on the ground and stood opposite Ma Rulong. There was no trace of black oppression on her body anymore. A pair of phoenix wings spread out behind her. The feathers on the wings sparkled with golden light, and each feather seemed to contain endless power.

Her whole body was surrounded by scorching flames, which were like surging waves, rolling and roaring continuously.

On her beautiful face, there were three flame cloud patterns on each cheek, and a red phoenix pattern appeared on her forehead, as if the Phoenix God had descended to the earth, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

She slowly raised her right hand, and above her slender hand rose the flame of a phoenix, which jumped and danced like a lively elf.

She simply grasped the huge blade of the Sword of Judgment with ease and grace, as if it was not a powerful weapon but an ordinary object.

The power of light released by the Sword of Judgment was no longer able to play the slightest role.

Ma Rulong froze in place for a moment, his eyes wide open with disbelief.

He looked at Ma Xiaotao, his lips trembling, as if he wanted to say something, but was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

"This... This is impossible?!" His voice was filled with shock and confusion: "How could you not be affected? How could you block the Sword of Judgment?!"

Outside the competition arena, soul masters with cultivation above level 70 were all stunned when they saw this scene, with surprise written all over their faces.

This surprise was no less than when Zhou Sichen single-handedly broke the martial soul fusion technique of the Hongchen brother and sister.

There was shock, admiration, as well as worry and speculation about the future situation in their eyes.

Among the crowd, Xuan Zi, who had been smiling indifferently and eating chicken legs and drinking wine in a very carefree manner, immediately held his breath and concentrated when he saw this scene.

His eyes sparkled with excitement and anticipation: "Ultimate Fire? Xiao Tao's Phoenix Flame has completely evolved!"

His voice was filled with surprise and admiration: "The power of the Sword of Judgment has stimulated the blood in her body. The erosion of the power of darkness and the stimulation of the power of light have completely sublimated her martial soul!"

He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ma Xiaotao, who was surrounded by flames. "First there was Gu Yi, then there was Xiao Tao. Both of them have extreme attributes. Add to that the little fellow Si Chen. It seems that this era is really going to change. The road to godhood... the future is promising."
