Douluo Dalu: Ice Snake Martial Spirit, Infinite Evolution

Chapter 235 The Destruction of the Holy Spirit Cult
Even further away, Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling did not sit idly by in the face of the sweeping energy surge.

The two exchanged a glance and quickly stopped.

Feng Ling abandoned defense and instead channeled her soul power, using her strongest soul skill to strike at the surging energy tide, attempting to repel it.

Zhongli Wu's eyes were filled with ruthlessness. In order to survive, he directly controlled his bone dragon, which he always cherished, and charged forward together. As he crashed into the surging energy tide, he self-destructed.

A deafening roar instantly resounded through the sky.

Feng Ling's all-out attack collided with the self-destruction of the bone dragon that Zhong Liwu had carefully nurtured, as well as the sweeping energy surge.

The moment the three collided, another massive energy storm erupted, engulfing everything within several kilometers, including Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling.

……

On the other side, the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, facing the energy surge generated by Ye Xishui's self-destruction, finally could not withstand it and shattered completely.

However, it also successfully completed its mission, greatly weakening the power of this massive energy surge.

Jing Hongchen immediately deployed his defenses, standing in front of everyone.

When it comes to defensive capabilities, he is second to none in the entire Sun Moon Empire except for Kong Deming.

However, even his top-tier level nine defensive soul tools could only withstand this terrifying energy surge for a few breaths.

"Xiao Tao!"

"Little uncle!"

Dugu Han and the other person looked at each other at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, their martial spirits merged once more.

A strange beam of light instantly emanated from the two of them, and then their figures disappeared together.

Suddenly, a crackling sound rang out.

It was the sound of the level-nine defensive soul tool in Jing Hongchen's hand shattering.

But then he immediately took out a second level-nine defensive soul tool.

Then he took out the third item, the Red Dust Blessing.

Several breaths later, a colossal holy dragon appeared.

"Roar--"

The roar of the Ice Flame Holy Dragon shattered the clouds, and its hundred-meter-long body stood before everyone, calmly facing the surging energy tide.

Taking advantage of the situation, Jing Hongchen held the shattered Red Dust Blessing and hid behind the Ice Flame Holy Dragon.

A surge of energy crashed down like a blood-red tsunami.

The Ice Flame Holy Dragon, with one of ice and one of fire, spread its two enormous wings and swung them fiercely at the oncoming surge of energy.

A hurricane condensed from the icy blue left wing, carrying an incomparably pure chill. Wherever it passed, the air turned into billions of ice crystals, weaving a crystalline defensive net amidst the blood-red raging tide.

The fiery red right wing coalesced into a hurricane, swirling with pure flames, and the energy surge licked by the flames was instantly ignited.

"Roar--"

Immediately afterwards, the Ice Flame Holy Dragon spewed out another huge burst of ice flame from its mouth.

The pure chill of the ice flames froze the speed of the energy surge, while the pure high temperature within it ignited the frenzied energy within the surge.

The two energies, ice and fire, formed a perfect closed loop at this moment, which actually cut the oncoming blood-red tsunami in two. One part was frozen into a suspended energy ice sculpture, and the other part was burned into nothingness stardust.

For a moment, the energy surge, which was originally extremely violent and could kill even a Super Douluo with a touch, was unable to advance an inch due to the obstruction of the Ice Flame Holy Dragon.

……

at the same time!

At the center of Ye Xishui's self-destruction, the already sunken ground was struck as if by a gigantic hammer weighing hundreds of millions of tons.

The area within a radius of tens of miles was instantly blasted down by nearly a thousand meters, forming a bottomless crater.

The mountains within a radius of ten miles, and even forty miles, which had already been ravaged by the aftershocks of numerous fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, were completely wiped off this continent.

Wherever the energy surge caused by Ye Xishui's self-destruction passed, everything within a forty-mile radius was flat except for this bottomless crater.

The original houses, buildings, hills, and everything else have vanished without a trace, leaving the land completely flat.

Houses and buildings within a radius of forty miles were also destroyed by the impact, and the nearby mountains had their peaks shaved off by this energy surge.

The exposed rock layers were also covered with spiderweb-like energy cracks, and fragments of rock fell everywhere like meteorites.

Twenty kilometers away, at the place where Xu Tianran and the others had originally been, dozens of boulders, each over ten meters in size, crashed down.

If it weren't for the fact that the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire always upheld the belief that "one should not sit under a dangerous roof," the losses would have been devastating.

At the same time, the energy surge dissipated.

On the other side, Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao had also run out of soul power and were forced to withdraw from the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.

"Xiaohan!"

Ye Yulin immediately handed over two high-grade milk bottles for the two to use to restore their soul power.

"Thank you!"

Dugu Han took the soul-guided milk bottle, handed one to Ma Xiaotao, and then held the other in his hand, beginning to recover his depleted soul power.

The same applies to Ma Xiaotao.

Ye Yulin and the others looked at the two with great admiration.

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have believed that a high-level Soul Emperor and an 85th-level Soul Douluo could defeat a severely injured Limit Douluo with their combined Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Furthermore, it was able to block the energy surge caused by the self-destruction of a Limit Douluo at such close range.

Even though that surge of energy had been blocked for a period of time by Kong Deming's Silver Moon Divine Light Shield and Jing Hongchen, its power had been greatly reduced.

Even so, it's not something an ordinary person can handle.

At the very least, Ye Yulin knew that he was not like Jing Hongchen, who possessed a full set of top-tier level nine defensive soul tools.

If he were to resist, he would be killed instantly. "A truly formidable young man!"

Someone uttered a word of praise, which resonated with everyone.

If it weren't for Dugu Han and his companion, the energy surge caused by Ye Xishui's self-destruction, the defeat of Long Xiaoyao, and even the Super Douluo that Jing Hongchen had taken advantage of to eliminate would have caused them a lot of trouble.

Even if the Holy Spirit Cult had an extra Super Douluo and a severely injured Limit Douluo, the Holy Spirit Cult would definitely win in the end.

Soon, Dugu Han and the other person opened their eyes.

Even with a high-level soul guide milk bottle, such a short time wouldn't be enough to restore their soul power, but the restored soul power would be enough to barely support their flight!
"Mr. Kong!"

Dugu Han looked at Kong Deming, who was pale-faced.

Kong Deming was looking at his broken Silver Moon Divine Light Shield with heartache when he heard Dugu Han's voice and quickly put the shattered shield away.

The heartache in her eyes vanished, replaced by a calm demeanor.

"Master Kong, we need to send someone to check on Zhongli Wu and the others to see if any of them are still alive."

Dugu Han said seriously, "After all, they are all Super Douluo above level 95, and Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling are even Super Douluo at levels 98 and 97 respectively. We must be wary."

"It's time to get it checked!"

Kong Deming pondered for a moment, then looked at Ye Yulin and the others and said, "You should go and check it out. We can't leave any hidden dangers."

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yulin and the others immediately dispersed with several level-eight soul masters to conduct post-battle reconnaissance.

Then Kong Deming smiled at Dugu Han and the other person and said, "Let's go back too!"

"Let's go!"

Dugu Han smiled and nodded.

He was already quite impatient, not because of going back, but because of the special secret soul bone that Long Xiaoyao had told him about.

The 420,000-year-old secret soul bone can be fused with his Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone.

Dugu Han glanced at his Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone.

His Ice Jade Scorpion left arm bone is currently 85,000 years old. After fusing with that secret soul bone, it will be a soul bone with a lifespan of 500,000 years!
The Ice Blast Technique provided by the left arm bone of the 500,000-year-old Ice Jade Scorpion—its power…

Dugu Han tried to think about it for a moment, then shook his head.

We'll know once it's integrated!

Half an hour later, the group met the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire at a manor in the suburbs of Mingdu.

Kong Deming was the first to report the battle results to the Emperor of the Sun Moon Empire.

"Wait a moment!"

"Master Kong, please wait a moment!"

When the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire heard that Dugu Han and Dugu Han's Martial Soul Fusion Technique had defeated a severely injured Limit Douluo, he couldn't help but wave his hand to interrupt.

"Elder Kong, are you sure that Xiao Han and Xiao Tao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill can defeat a Limit Douluo?"

The Sun Moon Empire stared in shock at Dugu Han and his companion standing to the side.

He couldn't believe it no matter how he thought about it.

After all, their soul power levels are different, and Long Xiaoyao is still a Limit Douluo. Even if he is seriously injured and cannot exert his full strength, he is still a Limit Douluo!

Xu Tianran, standing beside them, looked at the two of them with disbelief in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, everything I have said is true!"

Kong Deming smiled and then continued to report what happened next.

"The self-destruction of the Limit Douluo!"

"No wonder I felt the earth shaking even here."

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire nodded slightly, then continued listening to Kong Deming's narration.

After hearing this, he felt relieved.

Regardless of whether Zhongli Wu and his companion who escaped, or the four Super Douluo's retainers, are dead or not, as long as Ye Xishui and Long Xiaoyao, the two Limit Douluo, are dead, that's all that matters.

Only when they are dead can he sleep peacefully in Mingdu.

Only when they are dead will he dare to send people into the Demon Forest to destroy the Holy Spirit Cult's stronghold in one fell swoop.

"Mr. Kong!"

"Thank you for your hard work this time!"

The Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire pondered for a moment and said, "You should go back and rest first. As for the materials needed to repair the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield, just write down a list. No matter what the materials are, the Empire will fully support you."

"And Hongchen Hall Master, just write down the list of materials needed for the level nine defensive soul tool you damaged this time and give it to Tianran."

After speaking to the two men, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire said a few words to the rest of the crowd, saying that rewards would be given according to merit after this incident.

Then let them go down to rest and recuperate, preparing to head to the Demon Forest tomorrow to destroy the evil spirit master's lair in one fell swoop.

Afterwards, he called Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao to a study room alone.

Then, the Emperor of the Sun and Moon Empire turned a mechanism on his desk.

With a mechanical turning sound, a gap appeared in the ground, revealing a series of steps below.

Dugu Han and Ma Xiaotao looked curiously at the steps below.

Soul-guiding lights were lit on the steps, but the steps were slanted, and the view was blocked from seeing the depths.

However, Dugu Han seemed to sense that something inside was attracting him.

He glanced down at the dark gold claw that had automatically appeared on his right hand.
