Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 239 Bloody Battle

Facing the sword energy that Leng Yulai unleashed, Lin Xingyu neither dodged nor evaded. Golden light shone from his body, eventually weaving into a suit of armor around him.

His entire torso was also illuminated by a layer of earthy yellow light that gave a heavy feeling just by looking at it.

This layer of yellowish-brown light formed another protective shield on his body.

The Mountain Dragon King's torso bone is imbued with a soul skill: control over earth element!

The sword energy unleashed by Leng Yulai instantly covered Lin Xingyu's entire body. Each sword energy was accompanied by a special slowing effect, serving as both an attack and a means of controlling Lin Xingyu's speed.

Having already released his Martial Soul True Form and used his fifth Soul Skill to enter a semi-elemental state, Lin Xingyu was at least ten meters tall!
It can be described as a colossal behemoth, hurtling straight toward you at supersonic speed. The potential energy it carries is terrifying, not to mention the various forces attached to it.

With just a brief observation, Leng Yulai could clearly see the two force fields slamming towards her.

The first thing that came into contact with Leng Yulai's attack was the earth elemental defense layer formed by the bones in her torso, after a few ear-piercing friction sounds.

After some of the sword energy was dissipated, the remaining sword energy still rushed towards Lin Xingyu, followed by the second layer of defense, and the protective layer formed by the third soul skill, Xuanjin Armor.

After the second layer of defense wears down, the third layer is the defense formed by the battle armor, which is also enhanced with a sturdy property.

This unremarkable characteristic has no special effect, but it is quite practical and can be used almost anywhere.

After a series of ear-piercing sounds, the remaining attacks finally landed on Lin Xingyu. The unity of body and soul brought by the Martial Arts Golden Body, making his life inseparable, gave him an astonishingly high resistance to abnormal abilities!
He was completely immune to the slowing effect of the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Strike by Leng Yulai with the Dark Phoenix Feather, and the damage from the sword energy was directly worn away by his semi-elemental body after breaking through layers of defense.

Lin Xingyu directly withstood the attacks formed by Leng Yulai's two soul skills.

His speed hadn't even slowed down much, and Lin Xingyu's attack had already arrived.

Leng Yulai lightly raised the Dark Phoenix Feather in her hand, and the second soul ring on her body shone brightly. Countless pitch-black flames ignited out of thin air and wrapped around the Dark Phoenix Feather. At the same time, the halo under her feet also released layers of dark purple light, which were layers upon layers of dark purple flames.

The two dark flames spiraled upwards and intertwined into one.

Finally, the Flame Feather met Lin Xingyu's spear head-on.

"boom--!"

A violent collision rang out, and the air vibrated as the weapons collided, causing spatial rifts to appear one after another. Leng Yulai's expression changed.

The power of Lin Xingyu's attack this time far exceeded her expectations. Even if the force it carried contained potential energy, Leng Yulai had already overestimated it as much as possible.

But the power still far exceeded her expectations.

The total amount of soul power was beyond her imagination. Leng Yulai even felt that the soul power of this attack was the total amount of soul power of a Title Douluo, not like the total amount of soul power of a Soul Saint.

The most troublesome thing is that a spiritual will filled with killing and destruction perfectly integrated the power of this attack, which only burst forth when the two collided.

The seventh spirit ring on her body emitted a bright light, and accompanied by a deep phoenix cry, Leng Yulai's figure transformed into a huge dark phoenix!

The true form of Wuhun!

They had only fought twice, and because she underestimated her opponent, Leng Yulai directly used her Martial Soul True Body after suffering a slight setback!

A sonic boom resounded, and as the dark phoenix danced, streaks of dark purple light appeared, finally blocking Lin Xingyu's attack.

The attack was blocked, and his powerful physique allowed him to ignore the backlash. He stepped back and stomped his right foot in mid-air.

Wisps of mist appeared in the air, instantly enveloping the surrounding space for thousands of meters.

Right Leg Soul Bone Technique: War Fog.

It can suppress the opponent's perception and recovery abilities, while also enhancing one's own perception and the absorption and utilization of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Lin Xingyu's aura suddenly intensified, and he no longer concealed it.

His blood and qi surged, like a giant dragon awakening, with faint crimson flames burning on his body. This power was extremely strong and yang, and instead of dispelling the surrounding mist, the two merged into one.

Bathed in the flames, and with the chilling killing intent in his eyes, Lin Xingyu exuded a terrifying ferocity, like a malevolent god descended to earth.

At the same time, the soul power in his body began to rise continuously.

Level 75... Level 79... Level 82... Level 85... Level 89... Level 92.

It finally stopped at level 94!
The sixth soul skill, War Chains, can connect Lin Xingyu to other targets and also allows for the transfer of information between them.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu directly extracted all the energy of the souls within the domain and channeled it into himself.

The soul itself possesses a certain power, and Lin Xingyu further created a means of existence for them—armor!
This allows them to absorb and store some of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

It's just that this energy is far less than it was in their lifetime.

However, thanks to the contributions of a large number of sea spirit beasts, Lin Xingyu's soul power was temporarily raised to the level of a Title Douluo. His powerful physique allowed him to easily bear this power, and this power was far from the limit that his body could withstand. His spiritual power in the Spirit Domain Realm allowed him not only to control this power, but also to lock his aura firmly on his body surface during the first attack.

Combined with the ability of "Netherworld Heart" to disrupt the opponent's perception, he didn't even let Leng Yulai notice the slightest flaw.

The increased power is only less enduring than that of a normal Soul Master, but for Lin Xingyu, having this method is enough.

As Lin Xingyu took a deep breath, streaks of cyan flames rose from his body once again, which boosted his soul power aura once more.

It finally stabilized at the peak of level 95! Just a hair's breadth away from level 96.

Ignite the flame of life!

At the heart, life runes are pulsating incessantly, and a continuous stream of life force is burning as fuel.

The crimson domain instantly covered a space of several thousand meters. With Lin Xingyu's best efforts to expand it, the range that the Myriad Abyss Domain could cover far exceeded that of the Battle Armor Domain.

The Myriad Abyss Domain continuously transforms various elements in the world into elements that Lin Xingyu can adapt to.

While colliding with Leng Yulai's physical domain, he tried his best to suppress the other party's domain.

After unleashing his abilities, his second spirit ring lit up, and all his spirit skills were activated at that moment.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu reached an unprecedented peak, his essence, energy, and spirit merging into one. His long spear pointed straight ahead, and all his power was concentrated into one. The attack that pierced through heaven and earth once again fell towards Leng Yulai.

Self-created Soul Skill - Extreme Power!

Leng Yulai's sixth spirit ring lit up, and the feathers on the Dark Phoenix emitted a dark purple light.

With a flap of its wings, dark purple light was generated time and again, blocking Lin Xingyu's path.

"boom--"

The dark phoenix that Leng Yulai had transformed into let out a mournful cry and retreated into the distance.

Leng Yulai felt a sense of disbelief, and even a strong sense of absurdity.

She, a powerful, level 97 Super Douluo and a three-word Battle Armor Master, was defeated in a head-on collision by a Soul Saint who only had a two-word Battle Armor.
Is this not a dream? But the pain in her body reminded her that it was all real, and there was even a special force constantly killing her.

Whether it was soul power, mental power, or even the phoenix flames formed by his own soul skills, they were easily killed by that power.

This not only drained her energy, but also required her to expend a lot of effort to wear it down!
Suppressing the absurdity in her heart, Leng Yulai stared sharply at the figure that was faintly visible in the mist.

'The flame of life was ignited, and an unknown method was used to further boost my soul power to level ninety-five. I refuse to believe that such an advancement comes without a price!'

Leng Yulai's extensive life experience allowed her to assess Lin Xingyu's condition almost instantly.

In an instant, a plan was made: delay! Delay it!
Once the flame of life is ignited, if the time is short, it's manageable; at most, one's vital energy will be severely depleted, but the flame can still be extinguished. However, if the time is long, and one cannot even extinguish the flame of life, then one will truly burn oneself to death!
If we can just stall for a little while, we'll win without a fight!
Leng Yulai had no intention of retreating. Firstly, Lin Xingyu was just a minor Soul Saint and not worth her fear. Secondly, if she left the area of ​​the mist, Lin Xingyu, with his aura concealed, might take a long time for her to react.

While staying here and constantly stirring up the surrounding mist, although she couldn't pinpoint Lin Xingyu's exact location, Leng Yulai could still vaguely sense his general position.

We're not afraid they'll just run away!

The eighth soul on its body shone brightly, and a series of loud and rhythmic phoenix cries rang out. The space seemed to be shattered by the phoenix cries, and it fluctuated violently. The dark phoenix danced rhythmically as if it were dancing.

Phoenix dances in the heavens!

Hearing the loud phoenix cry not far away, Lin Xingyu felt a mental attack. He used his will to activate his body's blood and energy, weakening the sound waves layer by layer. When they reached Lin Xingyu's mental sea, only a gentle breeze remained, with no further impact.

With his left arm raised high and his left hand pointing to the sky, the clouds in the sky were frantically gathering around Lin Xingyu, accompanied by a rumbling sound.

High in the sky, streaks of silver lightning rolled and writhed like giant dragons.

Left Arm Soul Bone Technique: Nine Heavens Thunder!

This soul bone skill can quickly attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, especially the lightning element, which is rapidly gathered.

At this moment, as Lin Xingyu relentlessly activated his Soul Bone Technique, the thunderclouds in the sky gathered at an alarming speed.

The Thunderous Hell Vine materialized, first tightly wrapping around Lin Xingyu's left arm, and then flying directly into the sky.

As Lin Xingyu's second soul spirit, although he was able to set soul skills to a certain extent, Lin Xingyu did not possess any of the thunder attribute soul skills brought by the Thunderous Hell Vine.

However, this does not mean that the Thunderous Hell Vine is weak in terms of lightning attributes.

As a plant-type soul beast with the bloodline of the Thunder God, it holds the title of the number one plant-type attacker!
The Thunderous Hell Vine's fondness for the destructive power of thunder is etched deep within its very bloodline.

At an altitude of 10,000 meters, the Thunderous Hell Vine instinctively stretched out its bamboo shoot-like tendrils as soon as it arrived.

The surrounding lightning bolts seemed to find their source and quickly converged on this spot.

A large amount of lightning was slowly condensed into one by the Thunderous Hell Vine, while a murderous and destructive aura flowed within the lightning.

Fourth Soul Skill: Judgment.

As Lin Xingyu's second soul spirit, this soul skill uses it as its vessel, so it can naturally use this soul skill!

The thunder rumbled incessantly in the sky. In the high sky where there were only the two of them and nothing else, such fluctuations obviously could not escape Leng Yulai's notice. The Dark Phoenix's fluttering wings faltered, and alarm bells rang in her mind. Just as she was about to flap her wings and leave, Lin Xingyu's figure pounced on her.

The flames burning on his body tightly enveloped the long spear in his hand, and the spirit containing the intent of killing and destruction made every attack of Lin Xingyu extremely deadly.

"boom--"

Spatial rifts kept appearing, and the air currents around the two people became completely chaotic.

High in the sky, various kinds of lights bloomed in turn. If it weren't for the fog of war obscuring the view, these magnificent lights would have been like two small suns, enough to attract everyone's attention.

Phoenix dances in the nine heavens, phoenix feathers soar in the sky, dark fire, phoenix vanishes in silence.

Leng Yulai unleashed a continuous stream of various soul skills, empowered by her Martial Soul True Body.

However, Lin Xingyu resolved each of these issues in various ways, whether by confronting them head-on or by using spatial teleportation to avoid direct confrontation, and then immediately teleporting back.

Leng Yulai tried to escape the battlefield time and time again, but Lin Xingyu kept her firmly in his grasp.

Having ignited his own life force and gathered all his soul power together, Lin Xingyu was incredibly powerful at this moment.

Leng Yulai possesses the Time-Space Shuttle, a divine artifact that can indeed greatly enhance her mobility, but it is ultimately a divine artifact.

While it is very powerful when used, it is far less agile than Lin Xingyu's.

Every time she was about to use it, there would inevitably be some obvious spatial fluctuations around her.

But at this moment, Lin Xingyu would rush forward regardless of the cost, and would never give up even if he suffered serious injuries in the process.

He looked like he was going to fight her to the death.

"Is it worth it? What can you gain by fighting me like this?"

“You have a bright future ahead of you. If you let me leave now, you will have the power to extinguish the flame of life that was once burning within you.”

"Every second that the flame of life burns now is consuming your potential."

Even if your attack is unleashed, it will only cause me a minor injury at most.

"What I'm about to do will not only burn a lot of your life force, but regardless of whether you survive or not, you'll be severely injured, and it will also greatly deplete your potential..."

"What exactly is your purpose in doing all this?"

Suppressing her murderous intent, Leng Yulai tried to persuade Lin Xingyu in as gentle a voice as possible.

The guy on the other side was completely ready to go all out against me; who knew what other tricks he might have up his sleeve?

Such explosive combat power is truly terrifying; agreeing to Harosa's request this time is definitely not worth the risk.

Lin Xingyu remained silent, but took advantage of the fact that his soul power had not completely collapsed, and relentlessly unleashed his most powerful attacks.

After releasing one soul skill after another, even with a soul core as the core of recovery, he felt his soul power continuously decreasing like water being released from a dam.

Fortunately, the Life Surge Divine Power can use the power of blood and qi to support the corresponding consumption, while the Netherworld Heart can use spiritual power to support the corresponding consumption, so they can barely withstand it.

Within the domain, the souls exploded one after another, and Lin Xingyu continuously transferred his injuries there.

Let these soul beast armors take the damage for you.

In truth, since the start of the war, he has suffered even more injuries than Leng Yulai.

After trying to persuade him for a long time without getting a single reply from Lin Xingyu, Leng Yulai became quite angry.

Just as he was about to say something, Lin Xingyu suddenly raised his head.

The lightning in the sky had gathered to a certain point! It could fall now!
