Douluo Jueshi: I Don't Want to Be an Evil Soul Master

Chapter 126: The Broken Soul

"No, that's impossible." Nightmare Douluo's voice was filled with unconcealed panic. "I planted the seeds of nightmares in you when you were little. How could you possibly break free from my nightmare weaving?"

Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly as he listened to what Sleepy Nightmare Douluo said.

He was right. Even Lin Xiao himself didn't know when he was dragged into the nightmare by Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

The methods of evil soul masters are inherently treacherous and unpredictable, and since Sleepy Nightmare Douluo is a spiritual soul master, some of his abilities are even harder to guard against.

The Sleepy Nightmare Douluo had been planning this since he was a child. If it weren't for Alex, he might have really been lost in the nightmare.

Unfortunately, there was no "if" that Nightmare Douluo wanted to see. Behind Lin Xiao, a head of blood-red hair fluttered up, and the dazzling light dispelled all the darkness around him.

Soul bone skill, blooming.

The badger beast's leg bones had been absorbed by Lin Xiao, and it was also with the help of the 100,000-year soul ring and soul bones that his soul power level broke through to level 75.

The soul skill that the badger beast's right leg bone provided to Lin Xiao was the same soul skill that he had demonstrated when he fought with it, which could multiply all of his attributes.

He took a heavy step forward, and an aura of death and decay emerged from Lin Xiao. His mental power and soul power were completely integrated at this moment, and the meaning of "death" fell on Sleepy Nightmare Douluo without reservation.

The black shadow was shaking continuously, and its edges were already blurred. The roar of Nightmare Douluo continued to ring out, but the meaning could no longer be discerned.

Lin Xiao struck down, and before Sleepy Nightmare Douluo could react, the blood-red light on his right leg became brighter, and then spread to his whole body, enveloping him completely.

Soul bone skill, second stage, blazing.

The right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old badger beast did not possess two soul skills like other 100,000-year-old soul bones, but only provided one soul skill. However, because of this, the effect of this single soul skill far exceeded that of other 100,000-year-old soul skills.

Under the cover of blood-red light, the aura emanating from Lin Xiao rose again, and the breath of death permeated the entire world.

"boom--"

"Wow--"

With a roar, the black curtain in the sky trembled violently, cracks soon appeared, and then it shattered with a loud bang. Outside, the sky was still covered with dark clouds, but a weak sunlight was already falling, shining on the black shadow transformed by Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

The assassin held a sharp blade in his hand and his figure flashed, leaving scars on Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's body. Next to Lin Xiao, the soul of Soul Devouring Douluo raised his hand and pointed, and Sleepy Nightmare Douluo couldn't help but let out a scream.

"No, that's not right. You're lying to me. I get it." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo's breathing was rapid, but his tone became relaxed. "The soul next to you was indeed more powerful than me in his previous life, but now he's just a soul, using your power. At most, his methods are a little strange, but his attack power won't surpass yours."

"Am I right?" Sleepy Nightmare Douluo looked at Lin Xiao. Although he was questioning, his tone was very firm. "My dear disciple, you, you are indeed powerful, but I have other methods."

"Hmph." Sleepy Nightmare Douluo suddenly laughed, as if thinking of something. "It's true that you escaped the brainwashing of the Soul Ascension Ceremony, but your soul has already been sacrificed to the Holy Emperor."

"Disciple, do you know why I asked you to come here? Do you know where I went after I left?"

"Master has returned to headquarters. Do you understand? The soul you sacrificed is now in Master's hands. Master has been planning for half his life, how could he tolerate even the slightest accident?"

Sleepy Douluo was panting heavily, his voice filled with anxiety, as if he were speaking to Lin Xiao, or perhaps comforting himself. "Look, it's right here!"

As he spoke, Sleepy Nightmare Douluo suddenly took out a gray candle. The flame flickered slightly, as if it had life.

But the next moment, his expression immediately turned ugly. He did not see any fear on Lin Xiao's face.

"Teacher, is that really my soul?"

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo suddenly looked at his hand. Although he could not directly control the soul like Lin Xiao, he could feel the state of the soul. He had been influenced by the Holy Spirit Church and knew a little about it.

With a sudden effort, the gray candlelight disappeared instantly, but Lin Xiao's expression did not change at all.

"No, how is that possible?" Sleepy Nightmare Douluo stepped back slightly. "I checked with Fifth Brother, and your soul should be incomplete. You weren't sacrificed to the Holy Emperor, so where did your soul go?"

"Yes, teacher, my soul is indeed incomplete." Lin Xiao sighed slightly, "Since you know that I have the ability to control souls, you will naturally guess that I can sense the souls of others."

"All the disciples in the sect who have undergone the Soul Ascension Ceremony have incomplete souls. I know this as well." Lin Xiao raised his hand slightly, and the martial spirit Bana gently landed on his palm. "So, I, who have undergone the Soul Ascension Ceremony, should be no exception."

"Teacher, do you know that the two souls beside me were created by me personally? However, the first soul I transformed was not them, but myself."

Lin Xiao extended his right palm, and a remarkably active remnant soul slowly floated up from within the pistil of the red spider lily. Unlike the other remnant souls, it seemed to possess boundless energy and felt no discomfort within the red spider lily. This was precisely because it was Lin Xiao's own remnant soul.

With a thought, the remnant soul slowly changed, gradually turning into a face exactly the same as Lin Xiao's, and then smiled at Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.

"No, this is impossible!" Sleepy Nightmare Douluo almost roared, "Splitting my own soul, such pain, such pain..."

"Yes, so from that moment on I made up my mind that I must have the strongest power in the world until no one forces me to do something I don't want to do."

"you--"

Without waiting for Sleepy Nightmare Douluo to finish speaking, Lin Xiao clenched his right hand, and his right leg bone glowed again.

Soul Bone Skill, Third Stage——

"Do not--"

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo roared, "My plan will not go wrong. I am a Titled Douluo. You have been fighting with me for so long that your soul power and mental strength have long been exhausted. I have a soul core in my body. Now is the best time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed before his eyes, and a stream of light rushed straight towards Lin Xiao's eyebrows.

Lin Xiao seemed to be in a daze, allowing the light to penetrate into his spiritual sea. His aura dissipated instantly and his body fell to the ground with a bang.

Only the corner of his mouth raised a slight smile.

Sleepy Nightmare Douluo was right. After battling Titled Douluo for so long, his soul and mental strength had long been depleted. Therefore, his spiritual sea was the final destination he had chosen for Sleepy Nightmare Douluo.
