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

Chapter 455 Old acquaintance

Lin Xiao had doubts, but now that they were here, there was no time for him to turn back. The sky seemed to darken suddenly, and a beam of light pierced through the space and landed among them in an instant.

The moment that light appeared, a surge of immense spiritual power crashed down, causing the power within Lin Xiao's body to surge as well.

"careful!"

Chen Haisheng shouted, and nine soul rings—two yellow, two purple, five black, and one red—rose instantly around him. The waves surged beneath the sea, and the seawater rose into the air under his power, forming a wall in front of everyone.

Lin Xiao's expression changed completely at this moment.

It wasn't that he was shocked by Chen Haisheng's power, but rather that in that instant, he knew exactly what kind of soul beast they were about to face.

Lin Xiao has a plane of the dead within him, from which all his soul power originates. When he faced Di Tian, ​​he was not greatly affected by the latter's soul power, so how could he be so easily affected by the aura of a sea soul beast?

There is only one reason: the soul beast in front of him has a deep relationship with Lin Xiao. In fact, one of his soul rings came about because of this soul beast.

No wonder this soul beast appeared for several years before making a move recently, and no wonder Chen Haisheng said it had exceptionally sharp senses.

Because it was not the "Lord" that Lin Xiao had previously guessed the Elder had mentioned, but rather the Evil Emperor who had been frightened by the aura of the deity and fled the Demon Forest, even traveling all the way overseas.

As for the aura on its body that was quite similar to that left in the mermaid territory, it was not from the blood sacrifice at all, but rather because it was left behind by the offerings it received from the Holy Spirit Cult.

Lin Xiao also realized where that feeling of familiarity came from.

Several thoughts flashed through Lin Xiao's mind in an instant. He quickly realized that from the beginning, he had misunderstood Chen Haisheng's words.

After all, Chen Haisheng only said it was similar, but he never said that the soul beast here was the same one that attacked the mermaid territory.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao felt a slight sense of relief for some reason. At least he hadn't found the aura of the fragment of Electrolux's consciousness simply because he had targeted the wrong person, not because his initial guess was wrong.

"Brother Lin, are you alright?"

The seawater that Chen Haisheng lifted up seemed powerless, but it completely blocked the Evil Emperor's attack. He even had some strength left and glanced back at Lin Xiao.

"I'm fine." Lin Xiao shook his head. "Is the soul beast Brother Chen mentioned the one in front of us?"

"Exactly." Chen Haisheng nodded repeatedly. "Brother Lin, be careful. This soul beast is not only quite strong, but also very skilled in spatial power, and its attacks are unpredictable."

"When I first encountered it, I suffered a great loss at its hands. I almost lost my life before I even saw what it looked like. It took a lot of effort to escape."

Lin Xiao's gaze swept over Chen Haisheng.

The Evil Emperor ranks second among the Ten Ferocious Beasts. Although he was defeated in his battle with Emperor Tian, ​​he managed to survive, so his strength is self-evident.

Chen Haisheng was able to escape without knowing the Evil Emperor's abilities, which clearly shows that his strength is not as weak as he claims.

Composing himself, Lin Xiao raised his hand and clasped his hands in a fist salute, "Thank you for informing me, Brother Chen."

"However, if we are stopped here, we probably can't defeat it. We still need to keep moving forward."

“Brother Lin is right, but spatial attacks are hard to defend against. Even I could fall for it if I’m not careful. Even if I wanted to be fast, I couldn’t be much faster.” Lin Xiao looked up and his gaze seemed to pierce through the water curtain in front of them. “It’s alright, Brother Chen can just follow behind me.”

Having said that, he took a step and his figure rushed out at high speed.

The original Holy Spirit Cult no longer exists, and only the Evil Emperor escaped from the Demon Pine Forest.

Although it wasn't the soul beast Lin Xiao was looking for, since he had encountered it, there was no reason for him to let it go.

As I said before, he himself came from the Holy Spirit Cult, so he naturally knew what kind of harm evil spirit masters could bring. Similarly, he also knew what the Evil Emperor would do if left unchecked.

Another beam of light shot towards Lin Xiao, appearing in a similar location to last time. However, after shooting out, it passed through space and suddenly disappeared from Lin Xiao's sight, only to reappear behind him.

"Brother Lin—"

Upon seeing this, Chen Haisheng exclaimed in surprise, but before he could even warn Lin Xiao to be careful, he saw that Lin Xiao had already turned around.

As if he already knew where the attack was coming from, Lin Xiao raised his hand and slapped at the pillar of light.

The seemingly light palm strike actually cracked with tiny, dark fissures between Lin Xiao's fingers as he swung it out, shattering the space in his palm.

The shattering spread outwards, completely destroying the path of the attack. The beam of light instantly disappeared into the void.

Chen Haisheng's second half of his sentence got stuck in his throat, and it took him quite a while to come to his senses.

No wonder Lin Xiao said that. Even he, with the power of a Limit Douluo, was not very proficient in spatial power, but Lin Xiao seemed to have it at his fingertips.

Lin Xiao didn't stop moving. He struck down with his palm and disappeared into the mist, getting one step closer to the island where the Evil Emperor was.

Chen Haisheng stared at Lin Xiao's back for a moment, and seeing that he was about to disappear from sight, he hurriedly stepped into the air and followed.

The aura of the Evil Emperor became increasingly apparent. Without any hesitation, Lin Xiao used the same method again to easily neutralize several attacks.

The evil emperor on the island finally noticed something was wrong. In the next instant, a hole opened in the space around Lin Xiao, and a thick tentacle reached out from it, about to strike Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao was also familiar with the power of space. He reacted the instant the space fluctuated, raised his left arm, and a short blade was formed.

The entire blade was no longer the silvery-gray metallic sheen it once was; instead, it was densely packed with countless points of light of various colors. At first glance, it looked like a galaxy gathered in the night sky, and upon closer inspection, it resembled countless stars gathered at the fingertips.

This is Lin Xiao's left arm bone, and also his first soul bone.

Previously, his materials were used to make soul tools, so he couldn't feed this soul bone too much metal. He only had some scraps for it to absorb, so when he released his soul skills, it always had a metallic silver-gray color.

But now Lin Xiao has no shortage of metals to feed his soul bones. In fact, if he wanted, he could use all the rare metals in the Sun Moon Empire.

Over time, this soul bone absorbed various metals and its appearance changed.

Those colorful specks of stars are the various metals it has absorbed.
