Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 228 Fire Spirit Symbiosis, Ultimate Amplification

"One...three...five...eight...ten!"

Ye Yulin counted the remaining members of the Holy Spirit Cult and felt a chill run down her spine!
The Holy Spirit Cult dispatched a total of eighteen people, excluding the two Limit Douluo, Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao!

But now, after being bombarded by so many fixed-position soul-guided shells, not only are Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao still alive.

Of those eighteen people, ten survived.
Furthermore, among the remaining ten survivors, apart from Nangong Wan, Ming Lei Douluo and Youming Douluo are all titled Douluo below level ninety-five.

The remaining seven were all Super Douluo of level 95 or above.

Among them are Zhongliwu, level 98, and Fengling, level 97.

Aside from expending a lot of soul power, their terrifying strength remained undiminished.

The offerings of the other five Super Douluo also only consumed their soul power.

"This is the terror of a Limit Douluo!"

The three elders standing nearby, watching Ye Xishui and the others slowly approaching, felt a sense of their faith crumbling.

Fifteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells, more than sixty level-eight fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells, and more than one hundred and sixty level-seven fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells.

If so many fixed-position soul-guided shells were detonated together, they would definitely have the power to destroy the entire Ming capital.

Even if the bombing was carried out in batches, it would be something that humans could not withstand. Yet, even so, it was still blocked by Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, two Limit Douluos.

"Are soul tools really inferior to a soul master's own strength?"

As the numerous level-eight soul masters watched Ye Xishui and the others slowly approaching, confusion welled up in their eyes, and thoughts of retreat also surged in their hearts.

Fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are undoubtedly the most powerful soul-guided devices in the history of soul-guided device development, and level nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells are the shining pearls in the history of soul-guided devices.

Even with fifteen dazzling pearls, plus numerous level seven and eight fixed-position soul-guided cannons, they couldn't harm Ye Xishui and her group.

What can these level eight soul masters possibly do?
Panic gripped the people, and many level-eight soul masters considered backing down.

"quiet!"

Kong Deming noticed the retreat of the many level-eight soul masters behind him and immediately shouted.

He then used his soul power to encourage everyone, saying, "Limit Douluo are powerful, but not invincible. At least if we are willing to sacrifice the entire Mingdu and bury all the fixed-position soul-guided cannons under the palace to detonate them together."

"Let alone two Limit Douluos, even three or five Limit Douluos would be buried here."

"Not bad!"

Ye Yulin quickly chimed in, "The reason we couldn't take them down in one fell swoop wasn't because our fixed-position soul-guided shells weren't powerful enough, but because we were worried about Mingdu's safety. So we bombed them in batches, deliberately minimizing their power."

"Moreover, those fixed-position soul-guided shells weren't entirely useless. At least eight of their titled Douluo have died in the bombardment just now," Jing Hongchen added.

Nine!

"And Ye Xishui, she also essentially died, but the rebirth of her second martial soul, the Phoenix of Light, saved her."

Dugu Han stared intently at Ye Xishui opposite him, his brows furrowed.

His Ice Emperor Wings also have the Nirvana skill, but to achieve Nirvana, not only is a huge energy supply required, but also a long time.

But why did Ye Xishui complete her Nirvana so quickly?

Moreover, the deaths of those Holy Spirit Cult elders and worshippers are too suspicious!

After all, Ye Xishui had already risked her life to achieve Nirvana. With her and Long Xiaoyao's full protection, as well as Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling's help, it was really unfair that so many Title Douluos died at once.

"Or was it that she wasn't killed by the fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell, but instead turned into nourishment, thus accelerating Ye Xishui's rebirth?"

Just as Dugu Han was deep in thought.

Kong Deming seized upon his words to boost the morale of the many level-eight soul masters behind him: "That's right, Ye Xishui has also died once."

"With so many fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, even a level 99 Limit Douluo would not be able to withstand it. If it weren't for the Phoenix of Light's Nirvana skill, she would already be dead!"

"And Long Xiaoyao, if it weren't for the many titled Douluo of the Holy Spirit Cult joining forces to help resist, he would have perished here as well."

Kong Deming said to the many level-eight soul masters behind him, "Therefore, we do not need to doubt the power of soul tools, nor do we need to doubt the gap between soul masters and soul engineers."

"Which is stronger, the Soul Master or the traditional Soul Master, will be determined after this battle."

Upon hearing this, the confusion in the eyes of many level-eight soul masters gradually faded, replaced by pride.

Soul tools are the choice of the times. Even a level 99 Limit Douluo would suffer if faced with pre-positioned fixed soul-guided cannons.

Even if Ye Xishui's second martial soul had the ability of Nirvana, and if Long Xiaoyao had not had the help of more than a dozen titled Douluo and several super Douluo behind him, it would have been even more difficult.

Even if the two Limit Douluos gathered together, they would still perish here.

Thinking of this, everyone stared at Ye Xishui and the others with fighting spirit.

For them, this was no longer just a feud between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Sun Moon Empire, but also a contest between Soul Masters and Soul Masters.

Although there was still one Limit Douluo, one half-crippled Limit Douluo, and ten Title Douluos on the other side.

However, our side also has Kong Deming, who can fight against Limit Douluo, Jing Hongchen, the head of Mingde Hall, five elders including Ye Yulin, the commander and deputy commander of the Royal Soul Master Corps, and three additional level nine soul masters.

And about thirty level eight soul masters!

The advantage is mine!

"Little uncle!"

As Ma Xiaotao watched Ye Xishui and the others getting closer, especially Long Xiaoyao beside her, she nervously gripped Dugu Han's large hand, her breathing becoming somewhat rapid.

Although she and Dugu Han have a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, that's for Limit Douluo!

Even a severely injured Limit Douluo is definitely not someone that an ordinary person can deal with.

"nervous?"

Dugu Han smiled and looked at Ma Xiaotao.

"nervous!"

"But mostly I'm excited!"

Ma Xiaotao watched with excitement as Long Xiaoyao drew closer.

Limit Douluo is a true figure standing at the top of this world. Anyone who can exchange blows with a Limit Douluo, even if the Limit Douluo is seriously injured, is a match for him.

That's enough to brag about for a lifetime!
Soon, Ye Xishui, Long Xiaoyao, and the others had walked a distance of nearly one kilometer and stopped a hundred meters in front of them. "A grand gesture! So many fixed-position soul-guided cannons are enough to start a small war. Truly a grand gesture!"

"It's just...surprising, isn't it!"

Ye Xishui stared indifferently at everyone, her voice hoarse as she said, "You didn't expect this old woman to still be alive, did you?"

"Not surprising!"

Kong Deming said calmly, "It's just hard to imagine that you, an evil soul master, could possess a second martial soul with the light attribute, the Phoenix of Light."

"You knew already?"

Ye Xishui was somewhat surprised.

"Mother, don't waste words with them, just start killing!"

Zhongli Wu glared angrily at Kong Deming and the others.

Fifteen level-nine fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells, more than sixty level-eight fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells, and more than one hundred and sixty level-seven fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells.

If Ye Xishui hadn't possessed the Nirvana of her second martial soul, and if Long Xiaoyao hadn't taken the initiative to protect everyone and absorb most of the explosive force, they would all be stuck here today.

"Let's start killing! I'm going to turn them all into corpse slaves, one by one."

Since its founding, the Holy Spirit Church has never suffered such a great loss!
Nangong Wan and the others also stared at everyone with gloomy expressions.

"Supreme Elder, begin the slaughter!"

"Shut up!"

Ye Xishui angrily rebuked the crowd behind her.

The killing was not her intention; even if she wiped out the entire population of Mingdu, she could not undo the damage already done.

The deaths of the eight titled Douluo can only be compensated by obtaining that special metal containing the purest and most extreme life energy.

"Kong Deming!"

Ye Xishui looked at Kong Deming again, temporarily suppressing her anger, and said in a deep voice, "So many fixed-position soul-guided shells couldn't kill me, you've already lost!"

She glanced at Ye Yulin, Jing Hongchen, and the numerous level-eight soul masters around her, her face filled with disdain.

Although there were many of them, they were not skilled enough, and none of them could stop Zhongli Wu, Feng Ling and the others.

"Give me that special metal, and I will immediately lead my men away. I will forgive and forget what happened today."

"Let bygones be bygones?"

"For you, Ye Xishui, to say such a thing is truly the most ridiculous thing in the world."

Kong Deming dismissed Ye Xishui's rhetoric with disdain.

He had studied the Tower of Death with this madwoman for many years, and he knew her too well!

Leaving aside the eight Title Douluos who died in the Life and Spirit Cult, Ye Xishui could not possibly let bygones be bygones for the traps they set up with numerous fixed-position soul-guided cannons.

"Ye Xishui, words are useless, let's see who's the real deal!"

After Kong Deming finished speaking, he flicked the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield in his hand, which quickly flew into the air a thousand meters high and began to expand.

He then said calmly, "Do you dare to fight me in the high sky?"

“Kill them, and then start massacring the Sun Moon Empire from Mingdu. The massacre will not stop until they hand over that special metal.”

Ye Xishui left a message for Zhong Liwu and the others, then took the lead and flew into the sky.

Kong Deming immediately followed.

"kill!"

Zhongli Wu immediately mounted the bone dragon and charged towards Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, and the others.

Fengling immediately led her people to follow.

The humiliation suffered by the Holy Spirit Cult today must be repaid in blood by the Sun and Moon Empire.

"It's time to eradicate this cancer of evil soul masters from the empire!"

Jing Hongchen, Ye Yulin, and the others took out their top-tier soul tools and, with many level-eight soul masters behind them, headed towards them.

Long Xiaoyao, clutching his injured chest, found Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao.

He glanced at Ma Xiaotao, then turned his gaze to Dugu Han.

This was the only Soul Emperor of level 67 present, echoing Ye Xishui's introduction.

"You are Moon's disciple!"

"Not bad!"

Dugu Han nodded slightly and simultaneously performed Martial Soul Possession.

Purple, black, and red!

Six spirit rings rose up one after another from beneath his feet.

"A third spirit ring that lasts ten thousand years, and a fifth spirit ring that lasts one hundred thousand years."

Looking at Dugu Han's soul ring configuration, Long Xiaoyao was filled with admiration and joy that Mu En had such a disciple.

Beside her, Ma Xiaotao had also completed her Martial Soul Possession, with eight Soul Rings—yellow, purple, black, black, and red—rising beneath her feet.

At the same time, all her amplification spirit rings, along with the Fire Overlord amplification skill from her 100,000-year-old right arm bone, lit up together.

In an instant, the terrifying temperature of the Phoenix Sacred Flame was already close to exceeding its limit.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Xiaotao's torso bones lit up instantly: Fire Spirit Symbiosis!
Instantly, all the fire elements within a ten-kilometer radius, as if summoned by an invisible force, converged madly in her direction.

The free fire element particles in the air trembled violently, forming streaks of crimson light visible to the naked eye, which intertwined into a huge vortex in the air.

The Phoenix Sacred Flame, which was already close to exceeding its limit, suddenly burst forth with dazzling incandescent light under the impact of this terrifying elemental wave.

In an instant, the temperature around Ma Xiaotao rose rapidly at an almost eerie speed. The space distorted and deformed under the high temperature, the rocks on the ground began to melt, and wisps of blue smoke rose up.
