Douluo's Spirit Pearl Divine Sword

They also found the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast. As the strategist of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, this Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast was much older than the one that Tianlin had absorbed, probably around sixty thousand years old.

This lifespan limit aligns perfectly with Tianlin's intentions. After reaching the Super Douluo level, his Illusionary Water Thunder can now increase the lifespan of soul beasts by up to 40,000 years. Tianlin predicts that once he reaches his limit, it will become 50,000 years.

Upgrading it to a 100,000-year-old soul beast and then letting Qin Ming hunt it would be a small consolation for him.

The Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast knew that the two were coming for it. It originally wanted to summon the volcano gorillas to attack it, but Tianlin directly drew the Asura Demon Sword. The endless baleful aura instantly scared away all the volcano gorillas. They were just stupid, but they still had biological instincts. Under that sword, even if they attacked together, they would not be a match.

Without the protection of the Volcano Ape, the Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast's weak fighting power was no match for Qin Ming. As long as Qin Ming was careful not to be hit by the Sealing Purple Flame, he could easily kill it.

With Tianlin's help, a 100,000-year soul ring and a 100,000-year head soul bone were created. Qin Ming attracted the soul ring to absorb it, and then absorbed the soul bone as well.

A new Title Douluo has appeared on the mainland!

Chapter 519 Re-battle with Flame Lord, Fire Wolf Douluo Qin Ming

With their new soul rings and soul bones, Qin Ming and Tian Lin returned to the far north once again. This round trip took up a lot of time, and there was less than a month left until Ma Hongjun's sixth trial ended.

Although there is no limit to the number of challenges, each time they are defeated, they need a period of time to recover from their injuries. In other words, they can only challenge once more at most. If they fail this time, the assessment can basically be considered a failure.

"This time, you must win!" Tianlin opened a small spatial passage and flew into the Fire God's inheritance ground with Qin Ming.

Led by Qin Ming, Tian Lin also arrived at Suiren Valley. At this time, Ma Hongjun was cultivating. Sensing someone approaching, he immediately opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Tianlin, Ma Hongjun was overjoyed and rushed over, exclaiming, "Boss, what brings you here? I've missed you so much!"

Tianlin pressed his head down in disgust to prevent him from wiping his snot on his clothes. "You, you've gotten thinner and more handsome, but your personality hasn't changed at all. You still haven't passed the sixth test. You're really useless. Rongrong has already passed the seventh test, which is also a first-level god test."

“Boss, my test is the same as your Asura God Test. Without a high priest as a guide, I have to do it all myself, so of course it’s slow.” Ma Hongjun’s expression immediately fell. “Moreover, this God Test is too difficult. The first few were okay, but this sixth test is really deadly. It makes me fight a strong person with the same strength as Elder Bone, and I have to defeat it at full strength. How could I, a Soul Douluo, possibly be a match for it?”

"By the way, boss, can you join the battle? If you can, we'll be all set!" Ma Hongjun looked at Tianlin hopefully. He knew that if Tianlin could take action, he could single-handedly defeat the Flame Lord.

"You're dreaming. I have absolutely nothing to do with the Vulcan assessment. This is something only you and Teacher Qin can handle. But don't worry, Teacher Qin is even stronger now." Tianlin turned to Qin Ming and said.

Qin Ming walked over step by step, revealing his nine spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, three black, and one red—to Ma Hongjun. Ma Hongjun's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Teacher, you've successfully advanced to the Title Douluo level and even obtained a 100,000-year spirit ring!"

Qin Ming smiled slightly, then said seriously, "That's right, titled Fire Wolf, are you ready now? This is the last challenge, it's all or nothing."

Ma Hongjun's expression changed, his playful smile vanished, and he said seriously, "I'm always ready."

Qin Ming nodded and roared towards the sky, "Lord Flame Lord, we request to challenge you again. Please show yourself."

A giant fireball fell from the sky, and the Flame Lord's enormous figure appeared before the three. "Oh, Asura successor, you've come again. It's been many years. Your strength seems to have undergone a tremendous change. Even I can't see through it at all. It's a pity that even if you come here in person, you can't help Ma Hongjun participate in the assessment."

Tianlin said calmly, "I understand. As the inheritor of the Shura lineage who is in charge of the law, I will not violate the rules of the Divine Examination. But I believe that even without me, Hongjun and Teacher Qin will undoubtedly win this time."

Tianlin leaped onto a cliff, leaving the battleground to the three below, and said, "Hongjun, Teacher Qin, it's up to you now."

"Don't worry, boss!" Ma Hongjun was possessed by the Divine Fire Phoenix, and eight soul rings appeared, two yellow, two purple, and four black, with extremely large fluctuations in soul power.

This made the Flame Lord's eyes narrow. These two were truly rare geniuses. Their strength would increase significantly after each battle. Now, Ma Hongjun had reached level 83, and Qin Ming had even been granted a title. It seemed that this battle was indeed the final one.

"Come on, Flame Bullet!" The Flame Lord made the first move, launching an enormous Flame Bullet.

At this point, Qin Ming was completely useless, because his fire was useless against the ultimate fire, even if he advanced to the title level.

Qin Ming must first let Ma Hongjun take action, using his ultimate strength against the ultimate strength to withstand the Flame Lord's fire before he can make his move.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Phoenix Meteor Shower!" Ma Hongjun released countless fireballs. Although the diameter of the fireballs was much smaller than the Flame Lord's Refining Flame Bullet, they had the advantage of quantity, which was to suppress quality with quantity.

The continuous clash of flames kept the two evenly matched for a short time, but the huge gap in skill level meant that even Ma Hongjun's high-quality martial soul could not bridge the gap, and he quickly found himself at a disadvantage.

"Flaming Right Arm Soul Bone Skill, Phoenix Burst Strike!"

Ma Hongjun added explosive power to the Phoenix Flame, and all the fireballs of the Phoenix Meteor Shower suddenly exploded. With the added force of the explosion, they barely managed to fight the Flame Lord to a draw.

That one moment was enough. The Flame Lord's ultimate fire was temporarily suppressed, and Qin Ming, possessed by the Fiery Wolf, ran at full speed.

"Purple Flame Golden-Eyed Beast Skull Skill: Soul Burning!"

The skull Qin Mingxin obtained is also geared towards support. Although it is called Soul Burning, its actual attack power is not strong. Its function is to continuously weaken the opponent's mental power, halving the opponent's ability to attack and defend mentally.

"Ugh!" The Flame Lord clutched its head, caught off guard by the attack, or rather, it was because Qin Ming's fighting style had suddenly changed, making it somewhat unaccustomed to it.

After all, they had been fighting for a year. Before, Qin Ming was a pure burst-type Soul Master. Unexpectedly, after advancing to the title level, he gained some support abilities. To be honest, changing tactics on the most important Soul Ring was a waste of Qin Ming's future. The Flame Lord was not optimistic about it, but it had to admit that this was the only way for the two of them to defeat him.

"Hongjun, seize the moment and lock its soul!" Qin Ming shouted.

“No problem, eighth soul skill, Phoenix Heart-Slaying Chain!” Ma Hongjun was already prepared. This eighth soul skill, obtained from the divinely bestowed soul ring, is a control-type soul skill that turns flames into chains to lock the opponent. As the eighth soul skill, it is naturally not as simple as just binding the body.

The Phoenix Heart-Slaying Chain has two other effects. The first is soul skill locking; once locked, the opponent cannot escape to the ends of the earth. The second is soul locking; once locked, the opponent will not only be unable to use their body, but also their martial soul and soul power.

Therefore, to break the Phoenix Heart-Slaying Chain, one must have sufficient physical and spiritual strength even after abandoning the Martial Soul.

But now, the Flame Lord's soul has been injured by Qin Ming, and he is unable to break free.

"Heh, not bad tactics, but don't forget, I'm not a Soul Master, but a Soul Beast!" the Flame Lord roared. Soul Masters with Beast Souls would have their physical strength greatly reduced because their Souls were restricted by the Phoenix Heart-Slaying Chain, but Soul Beasts wouldn't, because they didn't have Souls to begin with and relied on themselves.

The Flame Lord exerted all its strength, frantically tearing at Ma Hongjun's chains. Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth, determined not to let it break free easily.

At this moment, Qin Ming's ninth spirit ring lit up, and Fire Wolf Douluo was finally about to use his ninth spirit skill for the first time.

..

Chapter 520 The Sacred Flame Emblem: The Sixth Trial of the God of Fire Passed

"Ninth Soul Skill, Sacred Flame Emblem!"

Qin Ming's powerful flames converged in the air, gradually condensing into a giant wolf head emblem.

Taking advantage of the brief opportunity when Ma Hongjun and the Flame Lord's ultimate fire were both suppressed by the opponent, Qin Ming unleashed the Wolf Head Emblem in one go.

Qin Ming's Fiery Wolf is a mutated martial soul. The mutation is not just in the wolf martial soul itself, but also in the fact that its flames have a bit of a holy attribute. Therefore, his eighth soul skill is called the Holy Flame of the Wolf.

Now, after this divine power combines with the sealing purple fire of the Purple Fire Golden-Eyed Beast, the resulting Sacred Flame Emblem not only completely inherits the sealing power of the sealing purple fire, but also carries the dissolving power of divine power, which can reduce the quality or attribute power of the opponent's martial soul.

When the sacred fire emblem was imprinted on the Flame Lord, the Flame Lord could clearly feel his power weakening.

For a Soul Master, a decrease in Soul Power is a matter of level; for a Soul Beast, it's a matter of years. The Flame Lord could clearly feel that his cultivation years had been sealed for about 30,000 years in one go.

Fortunately, its cultivation level had already exceeded 230,000 years, so even if it was sealed for 30,000 years, it would not fall out of the range of ferocious beasts.

"So this is the ninth soul skill? Heh, you've ruined the Fiery Wolf, haven't you?" The Flame Lord chuckled indifferently. Sealing such a small amount of its strength had no effect on it.

"You have lost this battle, Lava Storm!"

The Flame Lord stomped its feet on the ground, and suddenly countless hot magma erupted from the earth. This was a skill it had developed by combining its fire and earth attributes.

"Hongjun, use your Phoenix Fire!" Qin Ming called out.

"Yes!" Ma Hongjun's fourth soul ring flashed, "Fourth Soul Skill, Phoenix Roaring Strike."

Ma Hongjun's fourth spirit ring came from a King of Earth, which also possessed both fire and earth attributes. Therefore, his fourth spirit skill could also spew out magma.

The underground magma summoned by the two powerful figures clashed with each other. In terms of strength, the Flame Lord was naturally stronger, but the result of the collision was unexpected. As soon as its magma touched Ma Hongjun's magma, it began to retreat rapidly.

This feeling is like when a soldier meets a general and is overwhelmed in terms of imposing presence.

"How is this possible? My flames are no longer the ultimate flames?" The Flame Lord finally noticed that ever since the wolf head emblem was engraved on its chest, its flame power had been dissolved. Now, all the flames it used were no longer the ultimate flames.

Now Qin Ming can freely use his moves to fight back against it, and Ma Hongjun can even use his ultimate fire to restrain it. At this moment, the two of them finally have a real hope of winning.

Qin Ming and Ma Hongjun exchanged a glance, and both decided to go all out to determine the winner in one fell swoop.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Phoenix True Form!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Azure Wolf True Form."

The two simultaneously activated their Martial Soul True Forms, and the enormous fire wolf and the soaring phoenix charged towards the Flame Lord.

The Flame Lord seemed to intend to break through the seal of the Sacred Flame Emblem before engaging in battle. Instead of taking the two attacks head-on, he flew into the sky to evade them.

Seeing this, Ma Hongjun flapped his fiery wings and immediately gave chase. Qin Ming also stepped into the void and flew towards the sky, though he was a little slower than Ma Hongjun.

Although titled Douluo can fly, they are only able to stay airborne by relying on their powerful soul power. Compared to soul masters who truly possess flying beast martial souls, they are still far inferior in terms of mobility.

Therefore, when Chen Xin went out in the past, he used his soul skills to fly, which was much faster.

The sky was suddenly ablaze with fire, the three masters turning the entire sky crimson. Tianlin stared intently at the sky, and after an unknown amount of time, a figure fell to the ground first.

It was the Flame Lord. Having lost its ultimate fire, and fighting two against one, it finally couldn't withstand the onslaught alone.

'Boom'

With a loud bang, the Flame Lord's enormous body finally landed. Immediately afterwards, the Fire Phoenix and the Blazing Wolf also slowly descended, reverting to the human forms of Ma Hongjun and Qin Ming.

The two knelt on the ground, panting heavily. Even though the Flame Lord's cultivation had decreased and he had lost his ultimate fire, his strength was still far superior to theirs. They had almost exhausted their soul power to gain the upper hand.

However, it was all worth it. After a year of relentless effort, they finally defeated the Flame Lord.

They failed countless times, but the belief that they must fight if they cannot win, and that they must win if they fight, kept them going.

"Ma Hongjun, you have passed the sixth test of the Nine Tests of Vulcan. Your affinity with Vulcan has increased by 15 percent, now it is 60 percent."

"Qin Ming, for assisting the inheritor of the Fire God in passing the sixth trial, is rewarded with a one-level increase in soul power, now at level ninety-two!"

The voice of the God of Fire came over, saying that because Ma Hongjun had spent too much time on this test, the reward had been reduced.

For Qin Ming, however, every level after reaching the Title Douluo level is extremely valuable, and the reward for each level is equivalent to that of the previous five or six levels.

"Well done, Hongjun, Teacher Qin, I'll heal you now. Eighth Soul Skill, Extreme Curse Returning Yin and Yang!" Tianlin drew his demon sword, not only healing Ma Hongjun and Qin Ming, but also completely curing the Flame Lord.

The Flame Lord was still a bit of a headache when it woke up, after all, its soul had just been injured by Qin Ming's burning soul.

This battle was truly frustrating. It was defeated after only being able to unleash about 60-70% of its full strength. The reason for this was that it did not expect that after Qin Ming abandoned the burst damage route, the limiting and support capabilities of this ninth soul skill would be so strong.

As expected, it's a spirit ring that's at least 100,000 years old; it underestimated its opponent.

"Little Fatty, congratulations on passing this test. Only after you pass this test will you truly enter the trial of the Fire God's successor. Just now, Jun has restored you to your best condition. Do you want to proceed directly to the seventh test? This test is not a battle, but rather drawing out the Fire God's divine weapon, the Divine Fire Spear!" said the Flame Lord.

The God of Fire possesses two divine weapons; he is proficient in both spear and sword. The God of Fire Sword resides on the Five Elements Continent, while the spear remains on the Douluo Continent.

Upon hearing this, Ma Hongjun nodded without hesitation, "That would be perfect. What I need most right now is time. The sooner the assessment can end, the sooner."

"Alright, follow me!" The Flame Lord turned around and led the three of them into the deepest part of the Valley of the Fireman.

After walking for about two hours, a huge cave appeared in front of them. The Flame Lord turned around and said, "Besides Ma Hongjun, Qin Ming and Jun boy, please wait here for the time being. No one is allowed to interfere when Ma Hongjun is retrieving the artifact."

"Alright, we'll wait here. Go, Hongjun, pull out that divine weapon that will be yours in the future," Tianlin patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Don't worry, boss, I won't let you down!" Ma Hongjun nodded firmly and stepped into the cave.

Chapter 521 Divine Spear Unleashed Nine Forms: The Wildfire Spear Technique

The place where the God of Fire is passed down is called the Scorching Hell, which is already hot enough. The Valley of the Fire God is located in the center of the hell, making it even more unbearably hot.

But as Ma Hongjun entered the cave, he felt the temperature rise with each step he took.

It's likely that anyone who enters this place, except for those with the ultimate fire or ice soul masters, will have their bones instantly melted.
