Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 176 Complete Victory
Facing the long spear thrusting towards him, the Golden Lion Soul Emperor truly resembled a golden lion at this moment, his entire body bristling with fur and beard.

A golden shield of light shone around him as he swung his hands out fiercely.

The moment his arms collided with the long spear that shone with a crimson-gold light, his expression changed drastically.

In the instant of the collision, the spear easily tore through the golden light shield on his body, completely ignoring his defensive soul skill.

Then the long spear stepped forward and pierced through his arms. The Golden Lion Soul Emperor barely managed to raise his arms while leaning his body backward to avoid the subsequent frontal stab.

"Ow!!!"

The Golden Lion Soul Emperor couldn't help but let out a painful howl, the sound extremely shrill.

The moment the two collided, azure-colored flames instantly ignited.

His arms were ripped open with huge wounds, but not a single drop of blood gushed out. All the blood that flowed out was burned by the azure flames the instant it appeared.

The flames even started burning along his wound, and instantly an indescribable, excruciating pain surged through the burning wound.

The effects of the Glazed True Fire burning essence, energy, and spirit erupted.

The burning of his life force caused his physical strength to rapidly deplete, the burning of his soul force caused his soul force to decrease rapidly, and the excruciating pain caused by the burning of his mental force was even more unbearable for him.

At most, current Soul Masters only participate in a few matches at school and a few real battles at the Spirit Ascension Platform, while also enjoying considerable protection.

However, having cultivated to the level of Soul Emperor, he had seen many battles and even more strange and unusual soul skills.

Forcibly suppressing the excruciating pain surging through his arms, the Golden Lion Soul Emperor activated his fourth soul skill.

A golden light flowed through his entire body in an instant, making him appear as if he were cast in gold, brimming with power.

Metal Conversion!

It can transform itself into metal in a short period of time, while its strength and defense are greatly enhanced.

Being able to become the leader among the five Soul Emperors speaks volumes about the strength of his Golden Lion Martial Soul, and the effectiveness of his Soul Skills is also quite remarkable.

In an instant, he entered a semi-elemental state. The Glazed True Fire on his hands seemed to weaken considerably, and the pain he felt was not as intense. However, his soul power was draining away even faster.

With four consecutive soul skills—defense, amplification, and semi-elemental transformation—his entire power was instantly unleashed to its fullest potential.

In this perilous situation, the Golden Lion Soul Emperor instantly felt his power being pushed to its limit. Although his arms were still throbbing with pain, he felt his consciousness was remarkably good.

I feel like I've hit a bottleneck, like I'm about to break through to Soul Saint...

jump!
With a sonic boom, the long spear, after its upward thrust, was swung down with terrifying force in an instant.

Feeling the chilling sensation emanating from him, the Golden Lion Soul Emperor's expression changed drastically.

Second Soul Skill activated: Claw Strike!
Golden light condensed into the shape of a lion's paw on his hands and reached upwards to meet the incoming light.

boom!
After a brief collision, the golden lion's claws vanished instantly, and the long spear crashed down like a mountain.

boom!
After a brief collision between his arms and the long spear, the Golden Lion Soul Emperor couldn't help but kneel down on one knee, creating a crater in the ground.

Looking at the Soul Emperor kneeling on one knee in front of him, Lin Xingyu couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

What level is he at now?

His physical strength is comparable to that of a Title Douluo, and even if his soul power is slightly weaker, after opening up all the meridians in his body and condensing his soul core, he is still stronger than most Soul Saints.

Furthermore, he was in a state of harmony with nature at this time, enhanced by the power of the magnetic field, and his weapon had been repeatedly forged.

The strength of the martial spirit is ridiculously high.

He chose the Golden Lion Soul Emperor as his opponent because both of them had a head-on fighting style, and he was essentially the superior of the opponent, making the fight quite easy.

There may not be an absolute counter attribute between the two, but the style is the same. If you have something the opponent also has, and is stronger than you, then fighting the other one can be said to be easier than having a counter attribute.

However, after two consecutive collisions, the other party only suffered minor injuries, which is quite good.

Lin Xingyu took a step back and pulled his long spear backward.

However, the glazed flames on the long spear burned even more fiercely for a moment, and the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy) also gathered towards the weapon.

Boom!

Having fully charged up, he stepped forward and thrust his spear forward with even greater speed, piercing through the Golden Lion Soul Emperor's chest before the opponent could recover.

Even though he was in a semi-metallic state at the moment, he still suffered tons of damage.

This time, the Glazed True Fire erupted directly from the opponent's body, ravaging their life.

Feeling the passing of life, the Golden Lion Soul Emperor's eyes revealed a hint of ferocity as he frantically urged the soul power within his body.

The sixth soul skill is activated. A roar of fervor!
A golden phantom of a lion's head materialized above his head, its mouth wide open as if roaring to the sky!

"Roar!"

Chop, stab, smash!

After stabbing his opponent in the chest, Lin Xingyu launched another swift attack without hesitation.

Even after launching three attacks in quick succession, he still couldn't stop the opponent from unleashing their final soul skill.

Accompanied by the roar of the lion, golden waves of energy instantly spread in all directions.

Watching the crimson-gold figure in front of him, he retreated into the distance.

The Golden Lion Soul Emperor's figure collapsed, and at the same time he heard a deep voice not far away.

"Golden Lion, not bad!"

The Golden Lion Soul Emperor couldn't help but feel a little downcast. A Soul King had killed him in the blink of an eye and even commented that he wasn't bad...

Without a second thought, he instantly transformed into a beam of light and left the Ascension Platform.

After killing the Golden Lion Soul Emperor in front of him, a large ball of spiritual energy that was originally above the Golden Lion Soul Emperor's head directly converged towards Lin Xingyu's head.

In an instant, the spiritual light above his head shone even brighter.

Amidst the opponent's final roar, Lin Xingyu retreated into the distance.

……

Almost everyone on both sides made their move at the same time.

With the final roar of the Golden Lion Soul Emperor, the remaining Soul Emperors couldn't help but look over.

A chill ran down my spine.

They knew their leader's strength better than anyone else. His Golden Lion Martial Soul was quite good, barely qualifying as a top-tier Martial Soul. Coupled with his level 69 Soul Power, he was only one step away from becoming a Soul Saint.

But the battle started almost instantly, and their leader was killed in one fell swoop.

What else is there to fight?
The remaining four people felt the urge to urinate almost instantly.

It's time for a strategic shift!

He quickly glanced at the battlefield.

The dark dragon eagles that Wang Jinxin and Zhang Yangzi transformed into spread their wings, and with their own dark and silent domain, they directly and tightly entangled the Black Eagle Soul Emperor.

Both sides had now ascended to a high altitude and appeared quite relaxed. Wu Siduo's Netherworld White Tiger also took the opportunity to entangle its opponent. Although it was at a disadvantage, it seemed to be fighting back and forth.

In the remaining two battlefields, although Ye Xinglan's body was covered in frost and he was in a defensive state, with the support of Gu Yue's elemental power and the occasional starlight from Xu Xiaoyan, which diverted the opponent's attacks elsewhere, he showed no signs of defeat for a time.

Tang Wulin was actually in a decent state. The Soul Emperor opposite him had the Martial Soul of the Azure Leaf Dragon, a sub-dragon species with plant attributes. At this moment, he felt indescribably frustrated in the face of Tang Wulin.

With Xie Xie's interference from the side, they became even more embarrassed.

Even with Xu Lizhi's steamed bun support, Gu Yue's elemental control, and Xu Xiaoyan's help, everyone on the battlefield had their support. A three-ring warrior fighting a six-ring warrior, crossing three ranks, was still a bit outrageous to achieve such a result.

He once again marveled at the terrifying power of bloodline suppression.

"Since you're here, you might as well stay as well." Lin Xingyu snorted coldly, starlight shimmering on the long spear in his hand.

It directly pierced the Soul Emperor wielding the Frost Spear.

The Myriad Abyss Domain unfolded, and the Starfall property was activated, instantly enveloping the surrounding hundreds of meters in dazzling starlight.

Ye Xinglan's azure eyes lit up, and the bright yellow Star God Sword in her hand shone brightly, echoing the starlight around her.

His first, third, and fourth soul rings lit up—Sword God Star! Sword Star Fall! Sword Star Rain!

Hundreds of star-shaped sword energies instantly appeared around her! Then, these dense star-shaped sword energies fell directly down towards the Frost Spear Soul Emperor below.

Just as the Frost Spear Soul Emperor was about to retaliate, a hexagonal bright yellow light silently appeared beneath his feet, instantly freezing him in place.

Not far away, Xu Xiaoyan smiled brightly and waved her little hand gently.

The Star Wheel Chains have an absolute effect, but they consume a lot of soul power, especially the stronger the target being controlled, the more soul power is consumed.

In the previous battle, Xu Xiaoyan consistently used her second soul skill, Starlight Feedback, to interrupt or alter the opponent's attacks.

Alternatively, you can use your fourth soul skill, Star Chains, to allow your teammates to share the damage.

She had been conserving her soul power the whole time, but now that Lin Xingyu had arrived, she stopped conserving her soul power and began to cooperate with her teammates to carry out the final kill.

On the battlefield, even a moment's lapse in concentration can be fatal, let alone when he was forcibly held in place for a full second.

Even if he had the direct release effect of a soul skill, he couldn't withstand this absurd damage.

In that one second, he not only completely absorbed Ye Xinglan's three soul skills, but also directly absorbed Lin Xingyu's three attacks.

After the control effect ended, he didn't even have time to leave his last words before he instantly transformed into a beam of light and left the Ascension Platform.

After dealing with the Soul Emperor, the group didn't exchange many words. Ye Xinglan instantly merged with his sword and pounced on Wu Siduo's opponent.

Seeing that the remaining three sides on the battlefield had basically stabilized, at least none of them were about to lose.

Lin Xingyu then looked up at the Soul Emperor in the air whose martial soul was a black eagle.

His third and fourth soul skills lit up.

Mystic Armor, Judgment!
As his soul power flowed, weapons took shape around him, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to have found a target, converging around these weapons.

Guns, spears, swords, axes, knives...

On the weapon he had condensed into form, patterns were constantly being generated, intertwining with each other to form a core.

As the core patterns coalesced, the weapon began to emit different lights, and at the same time, the speed at which the spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered increased by three points.

Finally, when the aura emanating from each weapon was condensed to a certain limit.

Lin Xingyu pointed his finger.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
All the weapons around his body shot out like soul-guided rays.

Seeing the incoming weapons, Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi, who had transformed into dark demonic dragon eagles, swung out a claw and quickly flew away.

After flying a short distance, its wings crossed in front of it.

boom! boom! boom!
With a series of loud explosions, the Black Eagle Soul Emperor flying in the air was instantly severely injured, and the black feathers that were flying around him disappeared completely.

He plummeted straight down.

Black Hawk Down!

After the Black Hawk crashed, it transformed into a beam of light upon hitting the ground and left the Ascension Platform.

The last two Soul Emperors were naturally no surprises.

After cooperating to defeat Wu Siduo's opponent, everyone turned their attention to Qingye Dragon Soul Emperor, who was still holding on.

Looking at the malicious gazes of the group of people around him, Qingye Dragon Soul Emperor shook his head with a wry smile.

This is so unlucky!
I randomly picked a team, and it turned out that every single person on that team was quite strong.

Especially that boy in armor wielding a long spear, it was simply outrageous.

Even with five black spirit rings on his body, it's still a bit too outrageous.

Our five-person team can be said to be the maximum combat power that this Spirit Ascension Platform can accommodate.

He thought he could run rampant and be domineering, but it turns out he was the clown.

He memorized each of the people in front of him, even those whose faces he hadn't seen, noting down the characteristics of their martial spirits.

Even if you lose a battle at the Ascension Platform, it's not a big deal.

Such combat power, and such a young person, is probably specially trained by a major power.

Memorize their faces, be careful when you're out there, and don't offend them. You only have one life.

Half a minute later.

A large amount of spiritual energy merged into the ball of spiritual energy above his head.

Lin Xingyu couldn't help but smile: "What a coincidence! The spiritual energy orbs sent by these kind people are enough to make up for our gains in two hours!"

Gu Yue and the others were speechless for a moment.

What's this talk of fate? Even if there is fate, it's probably just a karmic entanglement.

This kind of fate is probably something no one wants.

While speechless, Gu Yue couldn't help but be shocked by Lin Xingyu's formidable combat strength.

This team is probably already the top team in the intermediate-level Spirit Ascension Platform, even with the help of these few people today.

Even without them, Lin Xingyu could probably easily handle them on his own.

'What kind of crazy growth rate is this?!' Gu Yue was completely baffled. She felt that her understanding of this world was far too limited.

Even if one were to completely unleash their true nature, it probably wouldn't be a big problem, right?
"Let's go! Let's find a place to rest and recover." Lin Xingyu said as he took the lead and walked into the distance.

First, they dealt with a group of soul beasts, and then they went through such a great battle.

Lin Xingyu felt he could still hold on, but he estimated that the people around him were all exhausted.

Not only was his soul power depleted, but his physical strength was also probably almost gone; his only remaining energy was his mental state, which was somewhat excited about defeating such a team.
