Douluo: The Throne of Ice

Chapter 104 Emperor Sword - Unrivaled Ice! Star Goddess

The moment the old man's voice fell, the dozen or so evil spirit masters surrounding the girl stirred up almost simultaneously.

The Holy Spirit Cult has countless powerful members, but that doesn't mean they don't need to recruit geniuses from outside. The development of a sect requires not only a sufficiently strong older generation, but also a generation of exceptionally talented young people, and the Holy Spirit Cult is no exception.

In the original Douluo Three Kingdoms era, there was almost zero tolerance for evil soul masters. Children who awakened their martial soul at the age of six, once their martial soul was associated with "evil," were likely to be killed on the spot. Many people were inherently good, but unfortunately, the times were such that they were ultimately forced onto an evil path...

But then again, most people in this era are actually unable to awaken their martial spirit...

……

The girl with dark green hair lowered her eyes. She didn't know how these evil soul masters knew about her existence. At least after her parents passed away in pain, she had been living in seclusion on the outskirts of Sunset Forest. Even when she went to Tiandou City to sell medicinal herbs and buy daily necessities, she did so discreetly. Even so, it seemed that fate had never favored her.

Recalling the pain her parents felt before they left, and thinking about the strange looks her ancestors had endured, as well as her current situation, Dugu Yan couldn't help but feel a pang of longing.

Even if becoming a demonic soul master seems like a very bad thing?

But just as she was making her final decisions, a sudden change occurred.

The leading evil spirit master suddenly vanished, and where he had stood, countless ice spikes rose from the ground, a chilling aura carried on the breeze, followed by a burst of dazzling starlight.

From her perspective, this was undoubtedly a very shocking scene.

From Shu Yan's perspective, however, things are clearly different.

Evil Soul Masters are generally stronger than other normal Soul Masters of the same level. There are many reasons for this difference, but it is undeniable that this difference in strength is not enough to match the boost brought by ultimate attributes.

The old man was quite old, with a strength of around level 83. His martial soul was a disgusting skull covered with rotten, maggot-infested flesh. His soul rings were a standard set. Faced with Shu Yan's relentless attacks, the old man was clearly both shocked and furious, and was completely suppressed for a time.

Seeing the six strange soul rings at Shu Yan's feet, the old man's pupils shrank sharply. But he also realized a problem: the young man in front of him was not someone he could defeat easily. In fact, during the brief exchange between him and the young man, more than one chilling force had penetrated his skin, causing considerable damage to his muscles and meridians. The young man's strength was clearly beyond what a so-called Soul Emperor could possess.

Fight with all your might!

These were the last words that flashed through the old man's mind. To have managed to reach the Soul Douluo level among the treacherous and ruthless evil soul masters, his mind must be quite sharp. After sorting out the situation, the old man's seventh soul ring suddenly lit up, and a blood-red halo swept across a radius of a hundred meters. Blood-red heads slowly floated up from the blood pool at his feet, along with hundreds of rotting heads.

"go!"

After activating his Martial Soul True Form, the old man's originally thin body rapidly expanded, and blood-red patterns were engraved on his face and exposed skin. A mournful soul howl continuously emanated from the blood pool below, disturbing people's minds and giving rise to a sense of despair and sorrow for no reason.

Boom—

As one rotting head after another flew out, a series of massive explosions followed. Unlike the immense power of corpse explosions, the power of these head explosions was less than half that of corpse explosions. However, the heads had the advantage of sheer numbers. The heads in the pool of blood seemed endless. As soon as one flew out and exploded, another would emerge from the pool of blood in the blink of an eye. Moreover, as time went on, the power of these head explosions became increasingly terrifying.

Hyotei sat on the roof of the cabin, watching this scene with some surprise. Then she clicked her tongue softly and said:

"How many people must this old man have killed? Every head he summons still retains a trace of soul, clearly from a human soul master, and there are even quite a few soul beasts among them..."

Xue Di remained calm. To be honest, although her attitude towards humans had changed slightly, it was only in front of Shu Yan and a few others. As for others, she didn't care at all.

Blood-red mist permeated the trees. Due to the explosion, the trees were inevitably covered with some disgusting blood-red slime. White smoke hissed up, and before long, more than a dozen large trees were corroded, broke straight in the middle, and then crashed to the ground.

A flash of silvery-white light appeared, and Shu Yan emerged unscathed. He wielded a magnificent, deep blue longsword that seemed to be formed from condensed ice crystals. He then suddenly slashed down at the old man hovering above the blood-red skull. An unparalleled chill, carrying terrifying attack power, rushed towards the old man, causing his scalp to tingle instantly, as if his blood had frozen...

Emperor Sword: Unrivaled Ice!

The Emperor Sword, one of the three great skills of the Snow Emperor, was also the first time Shu Yan used it in actual combat. His use of soul skills has never been very good, and originally it was quite simple.

His combat power has always far surpassed that of other Soul Masters of the same level. In many battles, he doesn't need to use Soul Skills at all. He can easily win by relying solely on his own powerful strength and attributes. However, although he doesn't use Soul Skills much, it doesn't mean that his Soul Skills are ineffective.

On the contrary, since his spirit rings were almost all obtained from powerful spirit beasts that he carefully selected, almost every one of his spirit skills was exceptionally powerful.

Since few outsiders know what his soul skill is anyway, he simply hides it as a trump card, hoping it might have a surprising effect in the future.

The dazzling sword light flashed past like a meteor, shattering vegetation and freezing everything in its path. The old man's face was filled with terror, but the speed of the sword light was simply too fast. Even though he had used his fastest reaction speed, he was still a step too late.

The flesh and blood were directly melted by the sword light, and before the blood could even splatter, it was frozen by the extreme ice. Countless ice crystals shattered, and the old man roared, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. His entire left arm and shoulder had disappeared. This excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone almost caused him to collapse and faint in an instant.

Shu Yan swung his sword lightly once more. This time, the old man didn't even make a sound before he melted into the sword light and vanished from the world completely…

Behind them, amidst shimmering golden light, Xu Jiujiu was bathed in starlight, appearing as noble and sacred as a goddess of starlight. Countless dazzling meteors, like stars themselves, crashed down, while simultaneously, countless beams of starlight transformed into rays of light, locking onto each and every evil soul master present, ultimately turning them into piles of minced meat...
