Douluo: Lord of Arms

Chapter 240 Victory or Loss
Above the clouds, silver lightning churned, and the entire sky became darker than ever before. The Thunderous Hell Vine had changed from its original purple to a purplish-gold color.

After being compressed and condensed repeatedly, all the lightning in the clouds eventually formed nine silver lightning dragons exuding a terrifying aura that slowly danced in the high sky.

Each thunder dragon exuded an aura of extreme destruction. Even from a distance of at least a thousand meters, Leng Yulai could feel just how dense and immense the thunder element in the air was.

At this moment, Leng Yulai no longer thought about hiding. The soul rings on her dark phoenix form flashed one after another, and she released one soul skill after another. She was a character who was more like a mage even after releasing her martial soul true form.

She was now trying to get as close to Lin Xingyu as possible; she couldn't believe that such a massive amount of lightning elemental energy had gathered in the air.

If this attack lands, given the close proximity between them, he will still be able to precisely control every wield of energy to prevent himself from being harmed!
Isn't it just a matter of who has more health? I, a dignified level 97 Title Douluo and a three-word Battle Armor Master, am no match for a Soul Saint!
Even though this Soul Saint is quite outrageous, he has raised his soul power to level 95—no, now it's level 94—through various means!
Seeing Leng Yulai rushing towards him again and sensing the fluctuations in the sky, Lin Xingyu had a thought and issued a command to the Thunderous Hell Vine, which was high in the sky.

Above the clouds, the vines on the Thunderous Hell Vine, which was struggling to control the thunder, couldn't help but tremble.

This was exciting. Since following Lin Xingyu, it had had very few opportunities to fight, and as a lightning-attribute soul beast, its favorite thing was naturally lightning.

However, its master completely used lightning as a springboard for the Destruction attribute. It's not that the Destruction attribute is bad, but it's the one that it's best at using lightning!
Now that it finally has a chance to unleash its full potential, it can't help but get excited.

Vines lashed out from the air, and the nine thunder dragons roared in unison as they plunged downwards.

The thunder dragon descended, a calamity that had been deliberately brought down from the heavens.

"boom--"

The first thunder dragon struck, its main body hitting the dark phoenix that Leng Yulai had transformed into, followed by a violent explosion.

Just like a living organism exploding, which produces the effect of blood and flesh splattering everywhere, this thunder dragon also produced the same "blood and flesh splattering" effect at the moment of its explosion.

However, what it blasted out was not flesh and blood, but completely materialized lightning and plasma!
The entire sky seemed to descend like a thunderous hell, suddenly forming a massive world of thunder.

The Dark Phoenix let out a mournful cry, its body engulfed in dark purple flames. The terrifying lightning energy, especially the power containing an extreme elemental energy, was also present.

That extreme energy, with its destructive power, tore open cracks in her body at an incredible speed. It not only greatly weakened her defenses, but also, if this energy were not eliminated quickly after entering her body, it would likely cause unimaginable damage.

But if you use soul power to obliterate it, the soul power consumed will be at least several times that of the opponent!
In short, Leng Yulai felt that her opponent was disgusting from head to toe.

After surviving the first Thunder Dragon, Leng Yulai was just about to check on Lin Xingyu's condition.

He took all of that attack. Even if he was immune to attribute counters, he still wouldn't come out on top!

Upon seeing this, Leng Yulai's eyes widened instantly.

A golden shield quickly appeared on Lin Xingyu's body.

Level 7 Soul Tool, Invincible Golden Body!

It can produce an invincibility effect for three seconds.

Although it's only a level seven soul tool, it can withstand attacks at the level of a title sealer or even a Super Douluo for three seconds under normal circumstances.

However, the specific metals needed to manufacture such soul tools have always been strictly controlled by the Federation.

Ten thousand years ago, only the Sun and Moon Empire had a certain amount of reserves.

After tens of thousands of years of consumption, the quantity of this metal can be described as extremely rare.

This has resulted in the number of Level 7 Soul Tools Invincible Golden Bodies decreasing again and again, circulating entirely in the hands of a few high-ranking individuals.

At the very least, Leng Yulai herself never managed to get her hands on one! Only her sister, Leng Yaozhu, might have managed to get some.

Thinking of this, Leng Yulai felt a sudden urge to bite her.

The invincible golden body that originally had a three-second invincibility effect dissipated after only a little over a second, followed by Lin Xingyu's layers of defense.

At this moment, Lin Xingyu raised his left hand again.

Left arm soul bone skill, Thunder Prison!
Soul bones that reach 100,000 years old, except for those that are acquired through later cultivation, will come with two soul skills. This is the second soul skill of his left arm soul bone.

Instantly, the surrounding lightning energy erupted in a chain reaction once again!

The materialized lightning energy maximized the effect of this Soul Bone Skill.

"boom--"

The second lightning dragon struck, and the same explosion rang out once again, raising the peak concentration of lightning energy in the air to a new level!
……

"boom!"

The clash of swords created massive collisions that caused spatial rifts.

Makino's body retreated once again, and the golden light that had been radiating from his body began to dim.

His body was covered with layers of gray light, which was a sign that he was beginning to be eroded by Harosa's Netherworld Rebirth Domain.

However, through repeated clashes, Makino's spirit and will became even stronger, and his body shone like a sun, radiating an indomitable will to fight against heaven and earth.

As the sect leader of a sect that cultivates qi and blood and can achieve a second awakening under dire circumstances, Mu Ye also possesses blood courage!
"You're quite good, but unfortunately you're still lacking something. You met me at this point in time. If I gave you more time, perhaps you could reach my level, distinguish truth from falsehood, and understand the path ahead!"

Harosa gave a soft compliment to Makino, and the gray diamond-shaped crystal on his forehead lit up.

Leng Yulai has been gone for so long and has not yet returned, which gave him a bad feeling.

To prevent any unforeseen circumstances, he decided to go all out.

As the realm of the underworld trembled, twelve gray gates opened, and the gray aura grew even stronger.

Twelve figures, each about four meters tall and clad in black and gray armor, strode out.

Twelve battle armor domain halos appeared beneath their feet.

"Death is the ultimate fate!" With the roar of the Death Knight, the Netherworld Rebirth Domain transformed into a dark blue color.

"I acknowledge your strength for being able to face my twelve death knights!"

Mu Ye's expression changed drastically in an instant. He really didn't expect that even now, Hades Douluo Harosa hadn't gone all out.

In the fight just now, he was completely dominated and beaten by his opponent.

Makino took a breath and slowly said, "Since you value this so much, senior, please accept one of my moves."

He held the long sword flat in front of his chest with his right hand and gently brushed it over with his left hand.

Suddenly, Makino's body lit up, and the original golden light completely transformed into pure blood red.

A sharp, tearing, and all-consuming aura emanated from him. Harosa twirled the rapier in his hand, his expression somewhat solemn. Even he, a Limit Douluo, couldn't guarantee the final outcome when fighting desperately.

The only thing he can guarantee is that he will win!

With Harosa's solemn expression, Makino unleashed a dazzling crimson light from his hand.

With a flash, Harosa transformed into a streak of gray light and retreated backward, while several death knights faced the seemingly powerful attack head-on.

But in the next instant, Harosa froze on the spot.

With a flash, Makino unleashed crimson energy, tearing a gap in the Netherworld's Rebirth Domain. He then fled through that gap... fled... fled...

Makino's attack was also quite flashy and unrealistic, and was easily blocked by several death knights.

Transforming into a streak of light, Mu Ye flew at full speed towards Tianhai City.

Harosa wasn't much faster than him; in fact, with the mech's enhancement, he was actually faster at running.

"Damn it! Chen Xinjie! Are all the Sea God Legion dead? At such close range, with such strong battle fluctuations, how long has it been? They still haven't arrived!" Flying in the air, Mu Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart.

On the Douluo Continent, the Federation may have all sorts of problems, such as political divisions and the struggle between hawks and doves.

Legion families have privatized their organizations, and various factions within the country have sprung up that obey orders but not choices, with even states within states existing.

The political climate is corrupt, bribery is rampant, class divisions are rigid, and arms sales are rampant.

It has all sorts of flaws, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's riddled with all sorts of problems, yet this federation is still the number one power on the Douluo Continent in name only.

Even someone as unscrupulous as Hades Harosa within the Holy Spirit Cult would only dare to launch a terrorist attack against the Federation every few years.

The Star Luo Empire and the Dou Ling Empire were humiliated and driven overseas, and for so many years they have had no thought of counterattacking.

After all, you can say the Federation is bad, but you can't say it's incompetent!
Putting aside other things, the storage period for things like fixed-mount soul-guided cannons is quite long.

There are various formations and interconnected soul tools between the legions.

If they really set up their legion, even Limit Douluo would have to avoid them.

Makino had been trying to amplify the atmosphere of battle, hoping for support from the nearby Federation Navy, but he never expected them to be so slow.

Seeing Mu Ye flying rapidly towards Tianhai City, Harosa reacted and transformed into streaks of gray air to chase after him. All the Netherworld creatures around him seemed to transform into air currents in an instant.

After flying rapidly through the air for nearly half an hour, I saw rows of war mechs in the distance, and an old man at the very front.

Makino secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They've finally arrived!

Harosa, who was chasing behind, saw someone flying towards them from afar. Without the slightest hesitation, he turned into a gray wisp of smoke and disappeared in an instant.

……

"Huh? Such terrifying lightning? Could this be a tribulation for a soul beast?!"

Not far from the coast, a tall, slender figure looked at the thunderclouds gathering in the sky with some surprise.

The destructive aura emanating from the lightning gave her the feeling that it was a soul beast's tribulation, but the power and number of attacks were somewhat different.

"If humans were fighting, there wouldn't be such a heavy aura of destruction."

After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what the pile of things was, so the slender figure turned around and walked in another direction.

It's best to avoid this kind of guy who looks like a huge problem.

……

Nine lightning dragons fell one after another.

One after another, the defensive soul tools on Lin Xingyu's body exploded, from the most precious level-seven soul tool, Invincible Golden Body, to some relatively ordinary soul tools.

His entire net worth has shrunk dramatically.

When the nine lightning dragons completely dissipated, Lin Xingyu's figure was somewhat disheveled, but overall he had not suffered any major injuries.

At this moment, the Thunderous Yama Vine silently appeared beside Lin Xingyu.

At this moment, streaks of charred black appeared on the Thunderous Hell Vine, and the golden vines turned purple.

The excessive release of power has left the Thunderous Hell Vine severely injured. If it were to unleash a few more attacks, it would probably die before you even realize it.

As the purple vines wrapped around Lin Xingyu's left arm, a green-gold light emerged, continuously flowing into the Thunderous Hell Vine.

Nourished by the life essence, the charred color on the dark vines faded rapidly, and their vitality quickly recovered.

On the other hand, Leng Yulai was in a terrible state, her whole body showing signs of severe injuries from being struck by lightning.

In fact, if he weren't still barely maintaining the state of his Martial Soul True Body, his condition would probably be in extremely bad shape.

He felt excruciating pain emanating from all parts of his body, as well as the sensation of his body being brutally penetrated and ravaged by an external force, causing his soul power to evaporate rapidly.

A flash of crazed killing intent crossed Leng Yulai's eyes. She had already fought to this extent, and her battle armor had suffered considerable damage.

The next step will require a long period of maintenance and recasting, which will take an unknown amount of time and effort.

Especially since the guy on the other side, although the flames of life on his body were still burning, his soul power level had fallen below level ninety!
But does he have an inexhaustible supply of vitality?
Without time to think further, Leng Yulai's ninth spirit ring shone brightly.

Phoenix rising from the ashes!

This is her strongest healing-type soul skill, and also her strongest offensive soul skill.

After using this soul skill, she will unleash her strongest attack, with power that completely reaches the level of a Limit Douluo. It can be used once a month, so you can imagine how powerful it is.

It is called a healing-type soul skill because after Nirvana, it can restore all of one's injuries, as long as they are not injuries such as severing limbs or missing body parts.

Even the most severe internal injuries can be healed, and external influences can also be eliminated.

In that instant, black and gold flames engulfed the entire sky, and even the war fog released by Lin Xingyu was dispelled.

The sky had completely changed color, like streaks of clouds constantly colliding.
