Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 293 Soul Emperor Template? But I'm playing with fire!
The little red bird chased after the boy, pecking at him all the way.

Lin Xiao could only silently beg for mercy:

“Maple Leaf, Bing’er is sensitive. I was just being silly to avoid making her worry, so I made jokes on purpose to prevent her from overthinking.”

"You better be!"

Lin Xiao's gaze was devout:

"Of course, the person I am most grateful to is the Phoenix God King. Without the Phoenix God King, there would be no Lin Xiao today."

"Maple Leaf, you are my sun!"

The sun's kindness can never be repaid in a lifetime...

The maple leaves finally calmed down.

"Lin Xiao, check your body and see if there are any changes?"

"I've worked hard to help you with the micro-management. Now your sixth spirit ring is a million-year-old Netherwing Fire Raven spirit ring. Its attributes match yours, and its potential is huge. You should have gained a lot."

Fearing Lin Xiao might be confused, Maple Leaf briefly explained what had just happened, while also expressing some surprise:

"That insect was born with a deficiency, and I don't know what kind of fortuitous encounter it had, but it was able to reach a point that countless soul beasts could not reach. It was truly a matter of fate and destiny."

Lin Xiao nodded.

He knew that the giant ice silkworm must be the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm that appeared in the second stage of the Dou Di Zhuan. Logically speaking, it should not have broken through the million-year mark yet and should still be being devoured by a group of ferocious beasts in the Lake of Life.

Could it be that he caused the butterfly effect?
Lin Xiao didn't think much of it.

He released his martial spirit, and saw a crimson fire phoenix soar into the sky, its aura becoming even more noble, but its appearance did not change much.

On the contrary, within his sea of ​​consciousness, his original phoenix, after devouring a wisp of the sun's original essence transformed into a golden crow, also gained the original essence of the Netherfire Crow.

"The martial spirit has indeed evolved."

Lin Xiao stretched out his palm, and a wisp of dark flame, with a hazy gray texture and a hint of purple within, was burning in his palm.

The flames had no heat whatsoever, yet they exuded an extremely dangerous aura; they were the Soul-Devouring Flames that did not harm the body but targeted the soul, unpredictable and treacherous.

As its name suggests, the Soul-Devouring Flame can burn and devour the souls of enemies.

He may be strong, but his methods are somewhat like those of an evil soul master. Fortunately, Lin Xiao is not alone. Bibi Dong's second martial soul, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, belongs to the same category as him.

Anyone who criticizes him as a fallen man will accuse him of slandering the Pope of the Spirit Hall...

That's it!

"Wow, quite a haul."

Lin Xiao examined them one by one, starting with the million-year-old soul rings and soul bones.

The million-year soul ring has four skills:
First, the Soul-Burning Fierce Wave: Dark red soul fire condenses in the palm to form a spiral shockwave, causing high soul damage to the target hit, while stripping away soul flame fragments, which float on the battlefield to assist in combat.
Second, the Soul-Devouring Fire Armor covers the body with highly concentrated liquid soul fire to form an armor. When subjected to soul impact or mental attack, it automatically triggers "Backlash Siphon," absorbing damage while converting 40% of the damage into soul fire to counterattack the opponent.

Third, the Soul Refining Tribulation Fire Array unfolds a dark red soul fire domain within a hundred-meter diameter. Select a target and drag it into the domain to refine and devour its soul; the refined soul can also be stored in a soul ring.

Fourth, the Extinction Soul Sacrifice forcibly seizes all the souls stored in the soul ring and devours them in one gulp, resulting in a burst of self-amplification in a short period of time. However, it has severe aftereffects after casting the spell, ranging from severe damage to the soul and memory loss to damage to the soul and brain pain, and the inability to repeat the spell in the short term.

Lin Xiao: "..."

After sensing the spirit ring provided by the million-year-old Netherwing Fire Raven, he exclaimed, "Wow!"
He's clearly playing with fire!

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the Soul Emperor!

This skill is definitely villainous material.

As for the head soul bone provided by Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, it seemed much more normal. Although it was not a fire-attribute bird soul bone, it specialized in spirit, and its attributes were quite suitable.

Lin Xiao named the million-year-old head bone "Tianmeng Lingshumian".

"Tianmeng" is a kind of remembrance;
“Ling” represents wisdom and symbolizes spirit;

“枢” means central hub, representing the brain.

Tianmeng Ling Shumian's four soul skills are as follows: Mental Detection: Ultra-wide-area reconnaissance ability, which can penetrate obstacles and analyze minute targets. The detection range can reach tens of thousands of miles as strength increases.

Mental sharing: synchronizing mental detection results with others;
Mental Interference: Releases mental energy to interfere with the actions and attack trajectories of enemies within range;
Soul Impact: Fires a mental ray that causes direct damage; if the target's mental strength is higher than the user's, the user will suffer a backlash.

That soul skill looks familiar.

Isn't this the soul skill that Tianmeng acquired after transforming into a million-year soul ring?
Even a million-year-old soul bone is like this.

Lin Xiao's lips twitched, and suddenly a possibility occurred to him:
Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is a million-year-old soul beast, it may only know these three tricks! No wonder even tens of thousands-year-old soul beasts with slightly stronger bloodlines can easily defeat it; that million-year age limit is full of exaggeration!

Seeing Lin Xiao's strange expression, Maple Leaf immediately asked:
"what happened?"

Lin Xiao told Feng Ye about the four soul skills of the Netherwing Fire Crow's million-year soul ring and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's million-year soul bone, but Feng Ye remained silent in response.

After a long pause, Maple Leaf finally managed to utter a single sentence.

"Luckily, it didn't ruin you."

Then he complained:

"How on earth did this insect cultivate for a million years?"

"This is infuriating to the other soul beasts!"

Lin Xiao said, "That's fine. Although it's a support-type soul skill, it makes up for my shortcomings to some extent. Besides, I still have the Nether Feather Fire Crow to back me up, right?"

"Moreover, the Soul Impact can be combined with my Great Sun Golden Eyes, doubling its power."

"It's like having an extra powerful attack method."

After all, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm made a great contribution, so Lin Xiao felt that he shouldn't look down on it.

But it wouldn't be fair to say that Lin Xiao was overly grateful to Tianmeng.

Tianmeng chose him for its own sake, and if Lin Xiao really exploded, Tianmeng would definitely not linger over him and would turn around to find the next target.

Its skills are inferior to those of maple leaves, so no one can be blamed.

In addition to the above gains, Lin Xiao also had a small surprise.

Because he obtained the "Soul-Devouring Flame", the power of his soul bone skill "Nine Netherworld Flame Prison" from the right leg of the 50,000-year-old Netherworld Sparrow was also enhanced.

This soul skill, similar to a life-or-death talisman, torments not only the body but also the soul.

……

The spirit rings have been acquired.

Lin Xiao and Shui Bing'er prepared to return home.

On the way back,

Shui Bing'er's emotions calmed down, but her doubts resurfaced, and she couldn't help but ask Lin Xiao:
"Brother Lin Xiao, what exactly happened before?"

"I saw your spirit ring change from jet black to red, then the red deepened, and finally it turned into black gold!"

Red spirit rings only exist in legends...

There are no records what a million-year soul ring looks like.

Shui Bing'er's reaction was less one of curiosity and more one of worry about the unknown, fearing that it might have a negative impact on Lin Xiao.

The golden one is naturally a million-year soul ring.

As for black and gold...

It should also be related to the characteristics of the Dark Feather Fire Raven?
Lin Xiao turned around, smiled slightly at Shui Bing'er, and made a "shh" gesture.

"Bing'er, this is a secret between you and me~"

The girl's face flushed, and she nodded obediently.
