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

Chapter 214 Light
Of the seven, only Yuan Chuan and Yuan Yan were Soul Saints; the rest were Soul Douluos, which completely baffled them.

Wang Dong'er leaned closer to Jiu Li and asked in a low voice, "A Li, how are you feeling right now?"

Jiu Li nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Dong'er. I did expend some energy fighting that old bastard earlier, but with the baby bottle by my side, I'm still at my peak."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Jiu Li gripped her spear tightly and launched an attack directly at Xu Sanshi.

On the other side, just as Beibei was about to make a move, she was stopped by Wang Dong'er, whose clear voice rang out: "Beibei, your opponent is me."

Bai Xiuxiu looked at them, and a blue light flashed in her hand, forming a blue halo that instantly created an ocean-like domain on the yellow earth.

Bai Xiuxiu stood quietly to the side, her gaze calmly sweeping over the clashes on the field, her aura subtly shifting. Suddenly, her fingertips twitched, and a pure blue light burst forth from her palm, like a condensed deep-sea pearl, dazzlingly bright against the earthen-yellow battlefield. The blue light did not scatter; instead, it rapidly spun and expanded around her, instantly transforming into a crystal-clear blue halo, its surface shimmering with tiny, watery light, as if countless stars were twinkling within it.

The instant the halo landed, an astonishing transformation occurred. The previously parched and cracked yellow earth seemed to be awakened by an invisible force. Fine ripples spread along the edges of the halo, and wherever it passed, the yellow earth churned and lost its original color, replaced by a clear blue. In just a few breaths, the surging water filled the field of vision, the waves crashing against the air with a "whoosh" sound, submerging everyone's ankles and calves, until it transformed into a shimmering ocean—the deep blue seawater undulated at their feet, carrying a salty, damp scent that rushed towards them. The water reflected the yellowish-brown sky, yet it did not diminish its vastness and depth in the slightest.

What's even more alarming is that this ocean is not still. The water flows along invisible paths, sometimes turning into gentle ripples that surround Bai Xiuxiu.

This is Bai Xiuxiu's domain, called the Ocean Ice Demon Domain. It increases her water and ice elemental damage. Furthermore, it consumes a huge amount of soul power from enemies, subjecting them to immense water pressure. In addition, there are ice particles in the ocean. If this continues for a long time, those who absorb the ice particles will be frozen.

Yuan Chuan and Yuan Yan stood side by side, both being offensive-type Soul Masters, yet they remained calm and did not launch an attack rashly. Their Soul Power surged quietly, and invisible energy fields pulled and collided between them, carrying a sense of oppressive power poised to be unleashed.

The next second, a breathtaking scene unfolded—Yuan Chuan's dark purple soul power and Yuan Yan's crimson soul power seemed to have found a resonant frequency, merging together without any hindrance. Purple was like a deep night sky, and red was like burning starlight. The two forces intertwined and swirled, eventually condensing into a ball of energy interwoven with light and darkness, radiating a pressure that made the air itself seem to freeze.

"It's a martial soul fusion skill!"

In the stands outside the simulated battlefield, the crowd that had been whispering amongst themselves suddenly erupted into a frenzy, with exclamations of surprise rising and falling. After all these matches, let alone a Spirit Fusion Technique, even near-perfect Spirit Skill combinations were rare. No one had expected to witness such a rare Spirit Master technique firsthand; their faces were filled with disbelief, excitement, and anticipation.

As the light faded, the transformation within the arena was complete. Yuan Chuan's form rapidly expanded, transforming into a colossal abyssal dragon that blotted out the sky. Its entire body was covered in dark purple scales, each one as smooth as obsidian yet barbed, reflecting a cold luster. Its horns curved like scimitars, their tips gleaming with a chilling light. Its massive mouth was slightly open, revealing gleaming white fangs, and the breath it exhaled carried a sulfurous heat.

Yuan Yan's transformation was equally astonishing. The longbow in his hand transformed into streaks of crimson light, climbing up the dragon's neck and finally merging completely with the body of the Abyss Holy Dragon. At the top of the massive dragon's head, a dazzling ring of fire appeared out of thin air. The flames were a fiery gold, but the edges were tinged with a ghostly blue, as if they had condensed the temperature of the stars into them, scorching the surrounding air and making crackling sounds.

At this moment, the Abyss Holy Dragon possessed both the treacherousness and domineering nature of the abyss, and the fiery intensity and holiness of flames. The fire ring on its head resembled a divine crown, making it appear even more majestic and terrifying against the earthen-yellow sky. Simply by hovering in mid-air, it caused the air pressure of the entire battlefield to drop sharply, and even Bai Xiuxiu's ocean domain was rippled with unease.

This is their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the Ultimate Burning Heavenly Fire, the End of the Abyss - the Radiant Path Divine Dragon.

The Divine Dragon of the Radiant Dao swept its gaze across the opposite side, that single glance seemingly carrying an all-piercing pressure. In an instant, an unparalleled, terrifying power erupted from its body, sweeping across the entire area like an invisible storm, causing the air to tremble.

Immediately afterwards, the dragon's massive mouth opened slightly, and a pillar of purplish-gold fire suddenly spewed out. The pillar of fire carried the darkness of the abyss and the intense heat of extreme flames. Two completely different yet equally domineering auras intertwined, and the purplish-gold flames surged, carrying the power to burn the heavens and destroy the earth, shooting straight towards the direction where He Caitou and the others were.

He Caitou and his companion reacted swiftly, dodging the attack in a flash. However, the other three, unable to dodge in time, were struck head-on by the devastating force. In the critical moment, Zheng Zhan moved subtly, instantly appearing beside the three and rescuing them. He then carried the three, barely breathing, away from the simulated battlefield like dead dogs. Now, only Bei Bei, Jiang Nannan, He Caitou, Xu Sanshi, and Bei Bei remain capable of fighting in the Tang Clan.

Furthermore, both Beibei and Xu Sanshi were entangled with Jiu Li and Wang Dong'er, making it impossible for them to help deal with the Huangdao Divine Dragon.

He Caitou's Soul-Guided Cannon projectiles had no effect on the Shining Dragon.

Jiang Nannan looked at the Radiant Dragon, then spread her wings and soared into the sky. Her eighth soul ring suddenly flickered, and she proclaimed loudly, "Azure Phoenix breaks through the dawn and cleaves the clouds, a sword of frost pierces the nine heavens." Behind her, the cyan longsword formed by the phantom of the Phoenix Goddess revealed its sharpness, carrying a killing aura that could tear the sky apart. Its azure light surged like raging waves, and it was also wrapped in a terrifying storm that made the world lose its color. With the force of ten thousand tons, it crashed into the Radiant Dragon.

Two terrifying forces collided violently. However, the fusion skill of the two Soul Saints was already extraordinary. In addition, the power formed by the fusion of the two extreme attributes of extreme fire and extreme darkness was not easily defeated. Its power had already reached the level of a Title Douluo.

It's easy to imagine that if this attack had landed squarely on him, he would have been severely injured, if not killed. But just as the attack was about to touch the Divine Dragon of the Radiant Path, the Martial Soul Fusion Technique was abruptly dispelled.

Yuan Chuan and Yuan Yan dodged the attack, and in the instant they crossed paths, the giant swords simultaneously plunged heavily into the yellow earth behind them.

"boom!"

The moment the deafening roar exploded, the ground where the giant sword was embedded surged violently, and a thick, azure beam of light burst forth from the earth, piercing the air with a sharp whistling sound as it shot straight into the sky. The beam of light rose with tremendous force, instantly piercing through the clouds and tearing a gash in the sky that had been shrouded in an earthy yellow haze. The azure light spread out like a tide, violently colliding and consuming the earthy yellow light and shadow, making the sky seem like a battlefield where the two colors were locked in a struggle.

In the blink of an eye, the cyan pillar of light suddenly expanded and exploded! The deafening roar was ten times louder than before, and the violent energy shockwave swept outwards. The cyan light, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly swept across the sky and covered the earth, completely swallowing the light of the sun, moon, and stars. Even the outlines of distant mountains were obscured by this boundless cyan light. Only the blinding cyan light and the deafening roar remained in the world, as if the entire world had been completely enveloped and reshaped by this power.

"Roar--!"

A deafening dragon roar erupted, and Bei Bei's body surged with golden light. Scales rose in layers as if cast from gold, dragon horns gleamed, and whiskers flew wildly. In an instant, it transformed into a golden holy dragon that blotted out the sky. Its massive body, accompanied by a force that tore through the air, shattered the clouds with its four claws, and charged straight at Wang Dong'er with overwhelming momentum. Its dragon eyes flashed with the domineering pressure of a top-tier martial soul.

Once a Martial Soul's true form is unleashed, the difference in the quality of the Martial Soul itself becomes infinitely magnified. It's like two Soul Saints: one with a mortal chicken Martial Soul, and the other with a celestial phoenix. The former's true form might only be a fully-feathered chicken, while the latter can conjure a divine phoenix phantom capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas—the difference in strength is immediately apparent. Of course, Soul Masters with chicken Martial Souls find it extremely difficult to cultivate to the Soul Saint realm; the upper limit of their Martial Soul already determines their ceiling.

Beibei's Golden Sacred Dragon is undoubtedly at the pinnacle of the Martial Soul pyramid. Its true form is now dozens of feet tall, its body more than five times larger than in its ordinary Martial Soul state. The golden dragon scales shimmer with metallic luster under the sunlight, each one seemingly containing immense power. Wherever the dragon claws slash, even the space itself ripples slightly. The sheer pressure of its physique is terrifying.

But Wang Dong'er showed no fear in her eyes as she faced the charging golden holy dragon. She raised her hand slightly, and suddenly billions of dazzling feathers of light bloomed behind her. The phantom of the Radiant Dragon God Butterfly spread its wings in the radiance, and the golden patterns on its wings seemed to come alive, with faint dragon roars and phoenix cries intertwined within them—this was not only the embodiment of the ultimate martial soul, but also, because of the trace of aura originating from the dragon god, this butterfly phantom had a sense of holiness that surpassed ordinary beast martial souls.

"You're showing your true form right away?" Wang Dong'er's red lips curled slightly, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit, and the light around her suddenly intensified. "Then I'll play with you!"

Wang Dong'er's martial soul is the Light Dragon God Butterfly, which possesses a trace of the Dragon God's aura and can suppress most beast martial souls. Although the Golden Sacred Dragon is stronger than the Light Dragon God Butterfly, its strength will still be very powerful. For no other reason than that she has some trump cards, making it difficult for her to be her opponent.
