Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 231 Soul Core Shattered, Defeat of Limit Douluo
A crisp 'crack, crack' sound rang out.

That was the sound of ice and fire energy invading Long Xiaoyao's body through his tailbone.

"Roar--"

Long Xiaoyao roared and forcibly increased his soul power in an attempt to shake off the attack, but he saw that the head of the Ice Flame Holy Dragon had already pressed down again. When the dragon's mouth opened wide, the red and blue energy vortex solidified in its throat.

"boom!"

The icy and fiery breath blasted directly into the Dark Holy Dragon's chest cavity. The high temperature caused the jet-black dragon scales to vaporize instantly, while the extreme cold formed icicles at the wound. The two energies, along with the icy and fiery energy that was corroding his body, created a miniature explosion.

In an instant, Long Xiaoyao was blasted backward and sent flying.

It only stopped after crashing into a small hill again, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

Black blood mixed with ice shards splashed onto a piece of gravel, which then emitted a sizzling heat, instantly burning the gravel into pieces.

Long Xiaoyao wiped the blood from his mouth with his claws and looked up at the Ice Flame Holy Dragon circling in the sky.

The light on the opponent's scales grew increasingly brilliant, clearly indicating that it was frantically absorbing the ice and fire elements between heaven and earth, while his own martial soul true body had already developed visible transparent cracks.

suddenly!

The Ice Flame Holy Dragon swooped down rapidly, unleashing beams of ice and fire from its head.

Several beams of ice and fire crashed down.

Long Xiaoyao hurriedly tried to defend himself, but just as he blocked those few rays of ice and fire...

The Ice Flame Holy Dragon had already arrived in front of him.

The enormous dragon claw, covered in ice crystals, pierced his belly, while the flames from its right claw precisely ignited the soul power node at his waist.

With a muffled 'bang,' large chunks of flesh and blood, mixed with black mist, exploded.

Long Xiaoyao felt that he was losing sensation in his right leg.

The pure ice energy had frozen the nerves in his right leg, while the pure fire energy continued to burn his muscles. This contradictory pain turned his dragon roar into a broken howl.

At the same time, pure ice and fire energy continued to rage wildly at the wounds on Long Xiaoyao's abdomen and waist.

Long Xiaoyao suddenly felt the soul core in his dantian and the soul core in his chest tremble simultaneously.
This resonance was not the resonance of his two condensed soul cores in the same position, but rather the ice and fire energy of the Ice Flame Holy Dragon eroding the soul core in his dantian, triggering a chain reaction of collapse.

As the ice shards pierced the intestinal membrane in the dragon's belly, a crack suddenly appeared in the soul core representing the dark attribute in the dantian, and pitch-black soul power overflowed from the crack like sand through an hourglass.

But in an instant, it was ignited by the fire attribute energy of the Ice Flame Holy Dragon, and a ball of light intertwined with blue and red burst out from inside its abdomen.

"Do not--"

Long Xiaoyao sensed that his soul core in his dantian was shattering, with cracks spreading like a spider web, and he hurriedly let out a heart-wrenching roar.

The soul core is the most important thing for a soul master; once it is broken, the master will either die or be crippled.

Even if they survive by sheer luck, their cultivation level will inevitably drop below that of a Title Douluo, making it difficult for them to ever reach the Title Douluo level again, let alone the Limit Douluo level.

This is definitely the hardest thing for Long Xiaoyao to accept.

"Hold on tight!"

Long Xiaoyao roared, and a blinding black light suddenly burst forth from his huge dragon body. My original soul power also began to burn rapidly, trying to forcefully increase the remaining soul power and gather it in my dantian, attempting to use dark energy to envelop the shattered soul core.

But as soon as his soul power surged over, it was frozen by pure ice energy, and then burned into nothingness by pure fire energy.

Dugu Han's ice attribute energy evolved from the icy rain and dew of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass.

Ma Xiaotao's Phoenix Sacred Flame is also an ultimate flame achieved through breakthroughs in blazing glue.

Whether it's the icy rain and dew of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass or the blazing glue, both are formed by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot, relying on the power of the Extreme Cold Ice Spring and the Blazing Yang Spring.

Both are derivatives of the fallen energy of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King, which have already imbued their ice and fire attributes with a trace of divine power.

This faint divine power attribute, after being fused with the martial souls of the two, transcended the limits of mortals, and how could Long Xiaoyao's dark attribute soul power possibly withstand it?

No matter how much soul power he transferred, it was instantly frozen and burned.

A few moments later, a crisp 'snap' sound rang out!

All that could be seen was that Long Xiaoyao's soul core in his dantian had already split in two.

The immense soul power immediately scattered and fled from the soul core, rampaging through his body.

At the same time, as the soul core in the dantian completely cracked open, the second soul core, which resonated in the same position, also instantly began to stir.

All of Long Xiaoyao's soul power instantly went out of control.

He spat out a mouthful of black blood, and could no longer maintain the state of his Martial Soul True Body. His hundred-meter-long dragon body rapidly shrank, and soon returned to human form.

At the same time, Dugu Han, who was controlling the Ice Flame Holy Dragon, sensed that his soul power was running out and quickly exited the state of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

To avoid falling into a coma later due to depletion of soul power.

As the Ice Flame Holy Dragon flickered, its hundred-meter-tall body rapidly dissipated, gradually revealing Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao embracing each other inside.

……

As the Ice Flame Holy Dragon dissipates!
The Silver Dragon King of the Star Dou Great Forest took a deep look at Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao, then closed his silver eyes again.

The two dragon kings of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye glanced at Ma Xiaotao, then turned their attention to Dugu Han.

They had seen this person before at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. He was with Little Ice's people.

……

Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao opened their eyes at the same time.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

One is a high-level Soul Emperor, and the other is an 85th-level Soul Douluo.

The fusion skill of the two martial souls was able to defeat the Limit Douluo, even though the Limit Douluo was already seriously injured and could only exert half of his strength. But who would believe it if word got out?
After all, they are currently only Soul Emperors at level 67 and Soul Douluo at level 85!

"I really look forward to our Soul Fusion Skill after we all become Title Douluo," Ma Xiaotao said excitedly.

"Invincible!"

"Truly invincible!"

Dugu Han was equally excited!
They are currently only Soul Emperor and Soul Douluo, but their combined Martial Soul Fusion Skill is already enough to defeat the severely injured Limit Douluo!
If the two of them were to become Title Douluo, their combined Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be able to sweep aside everyone on the continent.

Dugu Han smiled and then looked at the battlefield in the distance.

Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin fought together against Zhongli Wu.

Both of them are top-tier ninth-level Soul Masters. Jing Hongchen even said that he could defeat Xuanzi, who was at level ninety-eight, from a distance, and also escape unscathed from close range.

Although this statement may seem like self-praise, it also indirectly demonstrates his strength.

Therefore, even Zhongli Wu, who is at level 98, could not gain the slightest advantage under the combined efforts of the two.

The other three worshippers in the ancestral hall joined forces to fight against Feng Ling.

Although the three of them were not as good as Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin, Feng Ling, who was at level 97, was also not as good as Zhong Liwu.

Meanwhile, the commander and deputy commander of the Royal Soul Master Corps, two level-nine Soul Masters, each led three level-eight Soul Masters, to face off against Zhang Peng, who was level-nine-five, and another level-nine-five Elder.

Furthermore, the level nine Soul Master of the Fiery War Ape, who had previously been suppressed by the Ice Flame Sacred Dragon, regained control of his Soul Power and rejoined the battlefield as the Ice Flame Sacred Dragon dissipated.

Together with two other level-nine soul masters, the three of them, along with five level-eight soul masters, fought against the other two super Douluo elders of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Meanwhile, Nangong Wan, Ming Lei Douluo, and Youming Douluo, the three elders of the Holy Spirit Cult, were entangled by the remaining twenty level-eight soul masters and were already at a clear disadvantage.

All three elders were injured, with Nangong Wan having two gaping wounds in his chest.

It was caused by a combined soul-guided ray from several level-eight soul masters.

"It's a pity that your uncle sent away those four elders. Otherwise, having four more level nine soul masters would have been able to determine the course of the battle."

Looking at the battlefield where the fierce battle was still raging, Ma Xiaotao said with some regret.

"It's not a pity!"

"Such a big commotion has occurred in Mingdu, and people are in a state of panic. The Heavenly Soul Empire and the Star Luo Empire may take the opportunity to launch a surprise attack at any time, so we must be on guard."

"Moreover, we must eliminate the root of the problem and also surround and kill the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold in the Demon Forest, striving to leave no one behind and completely eliminate the evil soul masters of the Sun Moon Empire."

After saying this with a smile, Dugu Han glanced at the people fighting fiercely a few more times and then paid no more attention to them.

The scales of victory have tipped in their favor. As long as those level-eight soul masters can eliminate Nangong Wan and his two companions as quickly as possible, they will be able to turn their attention to the super Douluo elders of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Then deal with them, and then deal with Feng Ling and Zhong Li Wu separately.

Thinking of this, Dugu Han couldn't help but glance at Hongchen.

If he hadn't decisively killed that fire-attribute Super Douluo from the Holy Spirit Cult...

With such a Super Douluo joining the fray, the outcome is truly uncertain.

Shaking his head, Dugu Han stopped thinking about it.

He glanced down at Long Xiaoyao, whose soul power was surging wildly due to the shattered soul core, causing him to rapidly expand.

"Let's go down and take a look!"

Dugu Han used the little soul power he had left to fly down with Ma Xiaotao.

With the soul core shattered, one will either die or be crippled!
Whether it's a Yin-Yang complementary soul core or a soul core with co-positional resonance, if one soul core breaks, the other soul core will also face collapse.

Just like Long Xiaoyao at this moment, as his first soul core shattered, his second soul core also began to collapse.

A surge of immense soul power, like a flood bursting its banks, poured out from his collapsing soul core, rampaging through his body.

If it weren't for Long Xiaoyao's fully equipped soul bones and powerful physique, he would have already died from the impact of the soul power!
Even so, his body swelled up, and it was only a matter of time before it exploded.

"Mr. Long!"

Dugu Han landed in front of Long Xiaoyao with Ma Xiaotao.

Long Xiaoyao leaned against a piece of rubble, looked at the two people who had landed in front of him, and smiled, saying, "Mu En has a good disciple and a good grand-disciple!"

He had barely finished speaking when he suddenly burst into a violent cough.

Black blood, mixed with shattered internal organs, was coughed up by him.
