Douluo, my clone Groudon

Chapter 277 Dark Phantom Soul
The commotion in the audience had no effect on Bai Yuan on the field.

Six thick arms swung simultaneously, and a terrifying pressure of soul power enveloped the entire area as if it were a tangible force, making even the air thicken.

Xue Liushuang let out a sharp cry, and the Frost Sword Martial Soul emitted a dazzling blue light, with a three-meter-long frost sword aura piercing through the air.

However, this sword energy, powerful enough to cut through steel, was swallowed up without a trace the moment it touched the Dharma form!

"What?!" Her pretty face turned pale as she stared in disbelief at how her strongest attack had been neutralized.

Jian Mochen held up a heavy black iron shield in front of him, his four purple soul rings flashing simultaneously, and strange ripples appeared on the surface of the shield. This was his unique skill, "Counter-shock Ripple," which could deflect force while simultaneously adding his own power to counter-attack the opponent. It was a true martial soul that combined offense and defense.

However, Bai Yuan only threw a casual punch, but that seemingly insignificant blow sent Jian Mochen flying several meters away, shield and all, with a cracking sound of bones breaking in his arms.

Mad Warrior roared and swung his Heavenly Tiger Battle Axe down, but the axe blade was firmly caught by one of Faxiang's hands.

Even more terrifying, the center of that palm suddenly split open, revealing a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth that frantically devoured her soul power. Within three short seconds, the Heavenly Tiger Battle Axe Martial Soul began to disintegrate, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating into the air.

"How is this possible?!" Kuang Zhantian stared in horror as his martial spirit, which he relied on for fame, was destroyed. He stood there dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning.

Unconvinced, You Dingqi swung his meteor hammer at Bai Yuan, who didn't even flinch, letting the heavy hammer blow into his chest.

However, the expected sound of bones cracking did not occur, and the blow that was powerful enough to split mountains and shatter rocks did not even scratch Bai Yuan's skin.

“Your soul power… is too weak.”

Bai Yuan spoke calmly, his voice carrying a condescending pity.

The Devouring Domain was frantically plundering the opponent's soul power, and its aura was rising at a visible speed, while the seven members of the Sun and Moon Team were becoming weaker and weaker, like a pond that had been drained of water.

Long Chen bit his tongue to force himself to stay awake, his entire body covered in golden dragon scales. As the captain, he gave the order: "One strike to decide the outcome!"

He roared, "Holy Dragon Roar!"

Weng Daimin and Xue Liushuang instantly completed their martial soul fusion, and a dazzling ice-blue pillar of light shot into the sky, condensing in mid-air into a fifteen-meter-tall phantom of an ice and snow goddess.

The goddess wielded an ice crystal longsword, and the terrifying chill caused the temperature of the entire arena to plummet, instantly freezing the ground into a thick layer of ice.

"it's over!"

The Ice Goddess swung her sword down, and the sword energy, seemingly capable of freezing everything, transformed into countless ice crystals, each containing an extreme chill. This was Xue Liushuang's family's inherited sword technique—the Splitting Light Sword Technique!
Using ice as its source, it draws out the chilling energy to condense into a splitting sword aura!

however--

Bai Yuan's first spirit ring flickered slightly, and the Abyss Formless was activated!
His body instantly transformed into a cloud of black smoke, which dispersed and reformed seemingly slowly but actually swiftly.

The chilling sword energy pierced through the smoke but failed to cause any real damage. Only a little frost adhered to Bai Yuan's reappearing body, but it did not even slow down his movements in the slightest.

The three-headed, six-armed Dharma form suddenly erupted, with six giant hands reaching out simultaneously and forcefully grasping the Ice and Snow Goddess's wrist holding the sword!

"Third Soul Skill, Ultimate Devouring," Bai Yuan murmured, his voice not loud but clear enough for everyone present to hear.

The next moment, a scene that chilled everyone to the bone unfolded—the Ice Goddess's ice crystal sword began to shatter inch by inch from its tip, and the fragments were swallowed up by the black mist surrounding the Dharma Image before they even hit the ground.

Next came the goddess's arms, body... the energy of the entire Martial Soul Fusion Technique was being drained alive!
"Boom—!" With a deafening explosion of ice crystals, the illusory image of the Ice Goddess completely collapsed.

Weng Daimin and Xue Liushuang were sent flying like kites with broken strings, crashing heavily onto the ground dozens of meters away. The backlash from the forced breaking of their Martial Soul Fusion Technique caused them to vomit blood and faint on the spot.

The whole place was dead silent.

Kuang Zhantian and Jian Mochen tried their best to activate their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Bai Yuan did not give them the chance.

He raised his hand and summoned a strange black cloud—the "Dark Phantom," a soul spirit that Shrek Academy had specially traded for him.

This legendary soul beast, born in a place where dark soul beasts die in large numbers, has a form that is between physical matter and energy, and possesses the terrifying ability to devour and decompose all matter and energy.

Bai Yuan's dog has undergone a mutation, gaining an additional wind attribute boost, which multiplies its devouring speed.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Abyss Phantom!"

As Bai Yuan whispered, the dark phantom and the three-headed, six-armed Dharma form merged perfectly.

The already suffocatingly large Dharma image has now completely transformed into a rotating black hole, and the terrifying suction force has caused the protective shield of the arena to twist and deform.

The four Sun Moon team members who were still standing were horrified to find that their soul power was uncontrollably leaking out of their seven orifices, and in the blink of an eye, their legs went weak and they knelt on the ground.

This was already a result of Bai Yuan showing mercy. If he wanted, he could have completely devoured his opponent's life force and spiritual power, leaving not even a corpse behind.

He calmly withdrew his Dharma form, turned and walked back to Shrek Academy's ranks, his black robes fluttering behind him, leaving behind only a casual comment that sent chills down the spines of all the Sun Moon Academy students:

"Vulnerable."

In the stands of Sun Moon Academy, the arrogant taunts from before the match had completely disappeared.

Someone dropped their drink, but no one noticed. Everyone stared, dumbfounded, at the godlike figure on the field.

“This…this is impossible…” a senior student muttered to himself, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Shrek...is it really that strong?" another student asked, his face pale. This question echoed in everyone's mind at that moment.

In the VIP section, Zhuo Shi and Cai Yue'er were no longer as nervous as before, and the two deans laughed heartily.

"Excellent! Excellent!" Zhuoshi clapped the armrest. "This is the true strength of Shrek Academy! Unrivaled!"

Even Cai Yue'er, who had always disliked Gula and Bai Yuan, couldn't help but smile at this moment, although she was still being stubborn on the surface: "Hmph, at least she didn't let down the soul spirit that the academy rewarded her with."

Gula, standing on the sidelines, smiled slightly, his deep gaze sweeping over the terrified expressions of the Sun Moon Academy students. He muttered to himself, "This is just the beginning..."

He was satisfied with Shrek Academy's compensation, but he could only feel a little guilty about accepting Sun Moon Academy's.

Long Chen struggled to sit up, his trembling arms barely able to support him, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He stared at the retreating figure heading towards the Shrek Academy team, his eyes filled with disbelief and despair: "What...what kind of monster did they send?"
