Battle Through the Heavens II: Three Phases of Peerless Power, One Soul and Four Bodies

Although Luo Ranyu's Netherworld Ghost Fire is an energy-based attack that could have been used against him, the Netherworld Ghost Step also grants him the ability to teleport short distances and a significant speed boost. He can quickly approach the enemy using the silent ghost step, and once he gets close, he will immediately break free of the ethereal state and launch a rapid series of attacks.

In the blink of an eye, Dugu Shangshan had already reached Luo Ranyu's side.

At this moment, he not only enhanced his Netherworld Ghost Step, but also stacked Princess Jiujiu's Star Soul Technique and Star Radiance Technique, causing his combat power to surge.

However, Luo Ranyu's buffs were equally impressive. The high attack power bonus from his lightning elemental martial soul, Hua Xi'er's continuous amplification of all attributes, and his own powerful physique honed by ancient martial arts techniques allowed him to hold his own even against opponents more than ten levels higher.

The two exchanged several punches in an instant, with dull thuds of impact echoing and shockwaves spreading outwards.

Luo Ranyu withstood two powerful punches from Dugu Shangshan, her body only swayed slightly, and she was completely unharmed.

On the other hand, Dugu Shangshan was forced back two steps by Luo Ranyu's Tiger-Style Fist attack, and several deep, bone-revealing bloodstains appeared on his chest and arms, with blood gushing out.

He clutched his wound, nearly spitting out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with resentment as he glared at Luo Ranyu, gritting his teeth as he said, "What a joke! Pfft... cough cough..."

"Dugu, are you alright?"

"No...it's okay, let's attack together! I don't believe he can take on both of us at the same time."

Just as Luo Ranyu repelled Dugu Shangshan, a violent gust of wind suddenly swept in from the side, the "whooshing" sound mixed with sharp air blades, heading straight for Hua Xier beside him.

Wang Shiying's figure arrived with the gust of wind. Her target was never Luo Ranyu. She believed that as long as this support soul master was dealt with, Luo Ranyu's combat power would inevitably decline significantly, and the battle situation could be completely reversed.

"Ouch!" A strong gust of wind instantly lifted Hua Xi'er's white, fluffy short skirt. The girl exclaimed in surprise, pouted, and hurriedly pressed down on the hem of her skirt with both hands. Her cheeks turned red, but there was no fear in her eyes.

Soon, a faint pink mist emanated from her body. Under the mist, her short skirt slowly extended downwards, transforming into an elegant long dress. At the same time, four blue morning glories quietly bloomed in front of her, and pure pink soul power flowed into the petals like a stream.

With a wave of her small hand, Hua Xi'er guided the three morning glories in front of her out. The originally small flowers quickly grew larger in the air, and as the petals flipped, the trumpet-shaped openings pointed downwards, eventually transforming into a huge flower canopy taller than a person.

Wang Shiying had intended to launch a surprise attack, but was firmly blocked by the three enormous flower-shaped shields. Like lids, the shields descended upon her one after another, forming an impenetrable defensive circle that completely halted her advance. Wang Shiying could only dodge and weave between the shields, struggling to keep up, and her original surprise attack plan completely failed.

At the same time, Luo Ranyu's pressure increased sharply.

With Princess Jiujiu's continued assistance, Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan regained some of their soul power. Seeing that they could not defeat Luo Ranyu quickly, the two looked at each other, their eyes flashing with determination. They each raised their black soul rings representing their fifth soul skills, and a dense dark aura instantly enveloped the arena.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Black Tiger Roars to the Sky!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Dark Hurricane!"

Two thunderous roars rang out simultaneously, making everyone's eardrums ache. Huang Heyun's dark aura surged, transforming into a gigantic black tiger phantom several meters tall, which pounced on Luo Ranyu with a deafening roar; Dugu Shangshan, on the other hand, activated his soul power, condensing a swirling black hurricane. The hurricane, carrying a tearing force, formed a pincer attack with the black tiger phantom, both hurtling towards Luo Ranyu, leaving her no way to avoid it.

Luo Ranyu's eyes narrowed, a dark light flashing within them. His third spirit ring was lifted by his first and second rings, the three rings intertwining and spinning, unleashing a dense power of shadow. He slowly extended his palm and shouted in a deep voice, "Open!"

In an instant, the earth split open in front of the Demon Tiger and the Mad Lion, and a bottomless black abyss appeared as the crack widened. At the same time, a huge suction force came, and the black abyss was like a demon opening its huge mouth, about to swallow the two of them in one gulp.

Faced with this abyss, the two were instantly jolted back to their senses. They lowered their center of gravity and supported each other as they retreated step by step, trying to slowly move away from this terrifying black abyss. But things didn't seem to be that simple.

This is Luo Ranyu's third soul skill of Shadow Phase, Hundred Ghosts Abyss. Since it is called "Hundred Ghosts", the two were soon horrified to find that all kinds of ghosts and monsters began to appear in the abyss. Their tentacles and ghost claws grabbed their bodies and pulled them towards the abyss.

Suppressing their fear, their faces contorted in grotesque expressions, they fought back with all their might, and with some success, they could defeat a ghost with just two punches. They were being attacked by the ghosts, but their soul power was being devoured, and their spirits were being tormented by the ghosts.

The individual combat power of the ghosts was indeed very weak in front of them. This was mainly because Luo Ranyu's level was not high enough, and Luo Ranyu did not use this soul skill many times, so it could not exert its true effect.

For example, this soul skill requires Luo Ranyu to call upon the darkness deep within his heart when releasing it, but Luo Ranyu has power related to shadows, and no one can give him guidance.

Along the way, Luo Ranyu only received power from light and holiness from Xue Qianluo and the others. Due to the subtle influence of Yu Mengdi and Xue Qianluo, he gained some understanding, so he unknowingly became more and more proficient in mastering the power of the second phase of the three phases, the Holy Temple.

Whenever he wields Yu Mengdi's Sacred Twin Swords or Xue Qianluo's Aurora Sword, he gradually comprehends the power of light, and his movement skills will improve to another level. He learns various sword techniques without a teacher, and his skill combos are as smooth as flowing water, as if he were born with a mastery of the sword.

Outside the stadium, all the spectators were deeply moved by the scene before them, and discussions arose one after another.

"Are they really Soul Masters? They can actually fight four Soul Kings to a standstill! This is unheard of!"

"Incredible! That boy named Luo Ranyu not only possesses twin martial souls, but his soul skills are also incredibly strange and domineering! And that support soul master's defensive methods are also quite remarkable; he was actually able to hold back a Soul King!"

The suction force of the Abyss of a Hundred Ghosts continued, and Huang Heyun and Dugu Shangshan were dragged by the endless ghosts, their soul power was constantly being lost, and their spirits were also suffering greatly, resulting in considerable double trauma.

Just as the stalemate was at its peak, a dazzling white beam of light suddenly approached rapidly from the rear. Before the beam even arrived, a deafening explosion rang out.
