Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 200 Nan Qiuqiu, who lost everything
“If you win, I will join you,” Nan Qiuqiu said.

She was quite confident in her martial soul. Even though her spirit ring configuration was slightly inferior to her opponent's, the attributes of her martial soul would make it not too troublesome to deal with.

Both are Contra Masters, and it's clear that a winner won't be easily determined in a short time.

"So, do you agree or not?" Nan Qiuqiu frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on Ye Yukes, clearly concerned about the answer.

Ye Yukes did not respond immediately, but turned to look in the direction of Xia Die from St. Freya Academy, her eyes calm. This matter was not within her purview, so there was no need to rush to express her opinion.

Moreover, the teacher hasn't sent any message yet. This silence is undoubtedly a tacit agreement, a quiet handover of the decision-making power to her. She knows that the next response is up to her.

“Sure, of course no problem,” Ye Yukes replied.

In any case, with their own strength, they were more than capable of handling this matter. Neither side said anything more, and each tacitly took a few steps back, creating distance between them. The air seemed to still hold the echoes of their previous conversation, but it had been quietly replaced by the atmosphere of the impending duel.

Zheng Zhan stood in the center of the arena, activated the sphere in his hand, and layers of light blue light screen appeared on the ground in front of him. The light screen quickly spread and intertwined, like a cocoon woven from countless streams of light, enveloping the entire area—the simulated battlefield had officially begun.

The moment the light curtain dissipated, everyone felt the scene before them change abruptly. The familiar place vanished without a trace, replaced by a desolate yet magnificent world: beneath their feet lay the uneven, gray surface of the moon, dotted with craters of varying sizes, some of which still showed sharply defined rocks; looking up, without the obstruction of the atmosphere, the pitch-black universe was within reach, countless stars like shattered diamonds embedded in the sky, emitting a cold light, and in the distance, Earth, like a blue and white gemstone, floated in the void, so clear it seemed within reach.

The area they drew was [Moon 450].

Almost the instant the scene stabilized, everyone was truly placed on this desolate moon. The low gravity on the lunar surface made their bodies feel slightly floating, and the lunar dust under their feet made a faint "rustling" sound. In the silent environment, even their own breathing was exceptionally clear.

Nan Qiuqiu immediately released her martial spirit. Two yellow, two purple, two black, and two red spirit rings, eight in optimal proportion, surrounded her, clearly demonstrating her Soul Douluo-level cultivation.

As her martial soul was released, pink scales spread and grew on her skin like crystals tempered with ice. Each scale had sharp, angular facets, and under the sunlight, they shimmered with dreamy iridescence. Layer upon layer, they resembled a set of pink crystal armor meticulously crafted by a skilled artisan, exuding both a hard texture and a translucent luster.

At the same time, a rhombus-shaped pink gemstone quietly appeared on her smooth forehead. Inside the gemstone, light seemed to flow and shimmer, and the faint glow rose and fell gently with her breath, adding a layer of mystery to her already exquisite face, as if she were an elf who had emerged from an ancient secret realm.

A sudden whooshing sound came from behind, and a pair of wings, each three meters long, unfurled with a roar. The edges of the wings shimmered with a magnificent pinkish-gold halo, like clouds dyed by the setting sun. Each feather shaft was clearly visible, and the vanes were covered with fine pink scales, from which tiny specks of light drifted down with each gentle flap. Several pinkish-gold patterns also appeared on the forehead, winding like dragons, extending from the center of the brow to the temples, echoing the gemstone at the center of the forehead.

She slightly raised her right hand, and the moment her fingertips pointed to the sky, dark red scales rapidly grew from her fingertips—they were also dragon scales, but the ones that grew on her body were completely different from those of the previous earth dragon soul masters: the earth dragon soul masters' scales were thick and rough, with a dull, earthy yellow color; while her scales were as thin as cicada wings, with dark red metallic luster at the edges, and covered with tiny golden patterns, like naturally formed talismans, both agile and containing a terrifying power.

As the scales continued to extend, her entire right hand seemed to transform into a perfectly formed pink crystal, with distinct knuckles and scales fitting together seamlessly. Even her fingernails turned a translucent pink, gleaming with a sharp edge. Then, pale pink flames rose from her palm, seemingly gentle yet possessing astonishing heat, instantly burning away the sleeve of her right arm, revealing her entire arm completely covered in scales. The flames spread upwards along her arm, eventually enveloping both hands in a hazy pink inferno. A low, mournful dragon's roar echoed within the flickering flames, seemingly announcing the awakening of some powerful force.

Having done all this, Nan Qiuqiu's eyes narrowed, her arm slightly lowered, and her fingertips precisely locked onto Ye Yukes's direction. The next second, the outermost yellow soul ring representing her first soul skill on her body suddenly lit up, and as the halo flowed, a condensed, almost tangible pink ray of light shot out from her fingertips.

The light beam was incredibly fast, even producing a sharp whistling sound as it sliced ​​through the air, like a stream of energy compressed to its limit, hurtling straight toward Ye Yukes with lightning speed.

Despite the nearly 100-meter distance between them, the light barely gave them time to react, leaving only a fleeting pink streak in their vision before traversing that distance and rushing to Ye Yukes's side in the blink of an eye. The air itself was stirred by this force, creating subtle ripples.

This speed and range are comparable to a soul guide ray! You should know that ordinary soul guide rays are limited by energy compression technology, and the range of those below level three is often less than fifty meters. But this ray of light not only instantly spans a hundred meters, but its energy concentration is also not dispersed at all. It is obviously a level that only soul guide rays above level four can achieve. This is enough to show how pure she has honed this first soul skill.

Nan Qiuqiu was surprised, not because the light attack was strong or had great destructive power, but because of its characteristics.

This ability is called Annihilation, and it possesses the power to eliminate all attribute abilities. The Annihilation ability is extremely powerful; upon hitting an opponent, it disintegrates the opponent's attribute abilities, thus achieving a destructive effect.

This ability has two particularly alarming characteristics: one is that it is not countered by any attribute, and the other is that after hitting an opponent, it will cause the opponent to expend far more soul power in defense than normal.

Moreover, its current annihilation attribute has reached its extreme.

The existence of the Annihilation attribute corresponds to the extreme rarity of this type of Soul Beast, just like the Spirit attribute, making it extremely difficult to obtain.

At least for now, the Sun Moon Empire doesn't have to worry about soul rings.

Nan Qiuqiu's martial soul was originally the extremely rare Rouge Dragon among sub-dragon species, and now it is the Rouge Dragon Emperor.

However, Ye Yukes possesses the attributes of reincarnation and death, making him a formidable opponent, especially given his reincarnation attribute, which makes him extremely powerful.

Ye Yukes's soul power surged, and the first soul ring within his body shone brightly, instantly illuminating his entire being. Powerful soul power fluctuations spread wildly. He slowly raised his hands, and between them, soul power began to rapidly condense and compress. Under the frenzied convergence of soul power, two blood-red blades gradually took shape. These two blades were entirely composed of pure soul power, their blades shimmering with an eerie yet powerful light, their edges flashing with a chilling gleam, as if they were the sharpest blades in the world, capable of easily tearing apart anything that stood in their way.

Even more terrifying was the fact that these two sharp blades contained the power of death; the mere aura they emitted froze the surrounding air, as if shrouded in the shadow of death. Ye Yukes's gaze was fixed on Nan Qiuqiu's direction, and without hesitation, he swung his hands, slashing the blood-red blade imbued with the power of death towards Nan Qiuqiu.

The sharp blade sliced ​​through the air with a piercing whistling sound, carrying an unstoppable momentum, as if it wanted to completely obliterate Nan Qiuqiu under this terrifying attack.

Nan Qiuqiu's dragon wings flapped violently, propelling her straight into the air. Her second soul ring suddenly lit up, its dazzling light gathering into a pink orb in her palm. With a flick of her wrist, she hurled this pink orb, imbued with soul power, towards the two blood-red blades.

"boom!"

A loud collision rang out, but the result was unexpected—the two blood-red blades sliced ​​the pink ball of light in two without any hindrance. The ball of light instantly disintegrated into specks of fluorescence and vanished into the air.

Nan Qiuqiu's heart trembled violently, her face filled with disbelief and astonishment. Without time to think, she hurriedly raised her right hand, and her third soul ring suddenly burst forth with a dazzling light. In an instant, a rich pink light spread from her entire body, especially the pink in her palm, which became exceptionally concentrated, as if a pink flame was burning in her palm.

This is her soul skill—Annihilation Protection, which is said to be able to withstand attacks of all attributes.

However, Ye Yukes's attack completely ignored her defenses, and the blood-red blade, carrying the power of death, struck her heavily. Nan Qiuqiu let out a muffled groan, her body flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a huge rock on the lunar surface.

"Boom——"

With a loud crash, the huge rock shattered into pieces as she smashed it. Amidst the flying debris and billowing dust, Nan Qiuqiu's figure was buried among the rubble.

But Ye Yukes didn't stop. His fourth spirit ring suddenly lit up, its eerie light swirling around him. In an instant, crimson spider lilies sprouted from the earth across the entire lunar surface, rapidly spreading and growing. The petals unfolded layer by layer, exuding an eerie and bewitching beauty, spreading across the desolate lunar surface as if to dye the land blood-red.

This is one of her 100,000-year-old soul skills: the Sea of ​​Red Spider Lilies.
