Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Charcoal Servant, Crimson Lotus Azure Flame!

A crazy idea, so crazy it almost made Lin Xia tremble, instantly entangled all his thoughts like wildly growing vines.

That means directly absorbing the soul ring of this thousand-year-old Netherfire Beast?!

"Little one, you mean...?"

Lin Xia's voice trembled with disbelief as he crouched down, staring intently at Tan Xiaoshi.

"You want me to absorb that thousand-year-old spirit ring with my first spirit ring?! So you can help me share the burden?!"

"Uru!!"

Charcoal Servant tapped its burning helmet hard, the light in its fiery eyes brighter and more certain than ever before!

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

Let's take it together!

boom!

It was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in Lin Xia's mind!

Yup!

Mr. Tan!

It was never a martial spirit in the traditional sense!

It is an independent living entity!

A strange being with self-awareness, capable of fighting, growing, and even mastering skills independently!

It has a soul connection with itself that transcends that of ordinary soul masters and martial souls!

This connection is incredibly strong, even able to share the soul pressure of the Heart-Scorching Monument!

Since it can share the pressure at the soul level, why can't it share the impact of the soul ring energy?

With his physical strength, he was absolutely incapable of withstanding the energy infusion of a thousand-year-old soul ring; that would be courting death.

But what if there's a charcoal servant?

Its peculiar life form, its natural affinity for fire and ghost energy!

If, through the mysterious soul connection between them, the violent energy torrent of the thousand-year soul ring could be diverted, with part of it being absorbed and transformed by Tan Xiaoshi, and the other part absorbed by himself...

This seemingly impossible barrier appears to have been breached with a tiny crack!

risk?

Cultivation inherently involves risks!

If Lin Xia wanted a peaceful life, why would he need to cultivate?

Lin Xia's gaze was fixed on the raging thousand-year-old Netherfire Beast, then suddenly fell back to Tan Xiaoshi's eyes, which were full of trust and encouragement.

"Let's do it!"

Tan Xiaoshi wouldn't harm himself!

There must be a reason why it said that!

Lin Xia's eyes flashed with an almost crazed light as he shouted at Huo Wushuang and the other two who were struggling to hold on:

"Senior Wushuang! Sister Huowu! Senior Huolie! Help me hold it off! Buy me some time to recover!"

"I want the spirit ring of this Thousand-Year Netherfire Beast!!"

The three were struggling against the raging Thousand-Year Netherfire Beast. The scorching flames clashed fiercely with the chilling Netherfire, and each battle was extremely taxing, fraught with danger.

Upon hearing Lin Xia's words, the three of them froze, nearly getting hit by the Netherfire Beast's scorpion tail.

"What?!"

Huo Wu gasped in surprise, her chestnut ponytail swaying wildly.

"A thousand-year-old spirit ring? Lin Xia, are you crazy?!"

She simply couldn't understand how the first spirit ring could absorb a thousand years of energy.

This is practically suicide!

Huo Wushuang's usually composed face was instantly filled with shock and disbelief, and his arm, which had withstood the attack of the Thousand-Year Netherfire Beast, was slightly numb.

"Lin Xia! Don't be ridiculous! This is impossible!"

Huo Wushuang shouted sharply, his voice filled with unprecedented anxiety.

Huo Lie's eyes widened, wondering if he was hallucinating from the intense heat.

A thousand-year-old soul ring?

That violent energy was enough to burst the body of a level 10 Soul Master ten times over!

However, in that moment of intense shock, the Thousand-Year Netherfire Beast seized the opportunity and spewed out a thick, deep purple pillar of fire, carrying a chilling aura that could freeze the soul, straight towards the three of them!

"Be careful!"

Huo Wushuang reacted the fastest, forcefully pushing Huo Wu away while he focused all his soul power on blocking the attack.

boom--!

Huo Wushuang grunted, and was knocked back several meters along with his shield, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

A crisis is imminent!

There was simply no time to think about whether Lin Xia's crazy idea was right or wrong!

"Trust him!"

Huo Wu gritted her teeth and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in her heart.

Lin Xia has created too many miracles!

The records on the Heart-Burning Stele, the self-created soul skills, and the double casting that just clashed with the five-hundred-year-old Netherfire Beast... each one defies common sense.

At this moment, the subconscious trust in Lin Xia's monstrous potential took over.

"Hold him off!"

"roar!"

With a roar, Huo Lie's entire body blazed with flames, and he charged forward once again, fearless of death.

"Junior, you'd better really have a solution!"

He roared inwardly, all his doubts turning into the motivation to fight to the death.

The three of them had no time to spare, and devoted all their energy to this extremely dangerous struggle, just to fight for that slim but subconsciously accepted possibility for Lin Xia.

Although they didn't know why they were doing this, they chose to believe!

Hiding in the shadows, Chi Ye Kui's heart nearly leaped out of her chest the moment Lin Xia shouted that she wanted a thousand-year soul ring!

She couldn't hold back any longer!

"This child! He's practically gambling with his life!"

For the first time, the composure on Chiye Kui's dignified face vanished, replaced by extreme shock, anger, and worry.

A thousand-year-old soul ring?

Let alone a level 10 Soul Master, even a level 20 Great Soul Master would face a nine-out-of-ten chance of death!

No matter how extraordinary Lin Xia is, her physical strength is a fatal flaw!

Seeing that Lin Xia had actually sat down cross-legged, Chi Ye Kui appeared directly in front of him, about to reprimand him sternly and forcibly take him away.

Lin Xia had entered a deep meditative state, her soul power flowing weakly but steadily around her, clearly trying to recover her strength as quickly as possible.

On that still-childish face, there was only an almost obsessive determination.

Chi Ye Kui's outstretched hand froze in mid-air. Looking at his pale yet stubborn face, and thinking of the miracles he had created along the way, she finally let out a heavy sigh.

"That's enough!"

A resolute glint flashed in Chi Ye Kui's eyes.

"Since you insist on this, Auntie will clear away the obstacles for you and create the best conditions for you! The rest... is up to fate!"

Chi Ye Kui turned around abruptly, her gaze locking onto the Thousand-Year Netherfire Beast that was frantically attacking Huo Wu and the other two.

The unique pressure belonging to the Soul Saint suddenly erupted!

"You beast! How dare you be so insolent!"

With a flash, Chi Ye Kui appeared directly above the massive head of the Netherfire Beast.

Without using any fancy soul skills, it was just a simple slap containing all her current worry and anger, carrying immense soul power, which slammed down hard!

boom--!!!

A deep, guttural bang!

The thousand-year-old Netherfire Beast that had kept Huo Wu and her companions running for their lives, its ferocious flames raging, was struck as if by an invisible giant hammer. Before it could even let out a wail, its massive head was instantly slammed into the scorching sand!

Its body, covered in thick lava armor, convulsed violently a few times. The deep purple ghostly light covering its body dimmed and went out instantly, and its thick tail drooped limply, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The terrifying aura of the thousand-year-old soul beast deflated rapidly like a punctured balloon, and it fell into a deep coma.

The entire sand valley fell silent instantly.
