The Legend of the Dragon King (Web Novel)

The two azure green snakes instantly disintegrated. An invisible Sword's Consciousness silently fell on that evil soul master's body.

The evil soul master only had enough time to raise a scythe before himself to defend. The scythe was shattered the very next instant. The battle armor on his chest broke away and shattered in large pieces. He spattered his own face mask with a mouthful of fresh blood as he reeled backward.

The Holy Spirit Sect had already thought very highly of the Tang Sect's sect master, Douluo Hall's hall master, and Heartless Douluo. They also knew that the amount of energy he needed to maintain this great array utilizing planar power was enormous. However, they had still underestimated him in the end.

He surprisingly still had some energy to spare in the process of maintaining the great array. Moreover, with just one attack he had gravely wounded a three-word battle master who had a Hyper Douluo's cultivation base and was in charge of the ambush.

Once a person's cultivation base reached a certain rank, an evil soul master's advantage was non-existent.

A trace of regret appeared on Blood One's face. This evil soul master who ambushed him had a powerful cultivation base. He thought that he could kill his opponent with one slash, but now it seemed that it was not enough.

Currently, the other Blood Gods were also ambushed. If it were under any normal circumstances, an ambush like this would have been fatal to them. They would be hard-pressed to free up their hands to fight their enemies. However, they were better off right now. The feedback from the Life Seed had replenished the life force they had exhausted while activating Blood Gods Great Array. In addition to that, they even had some extra energy to deal with their enemies.

Blood Two and Blood Three had successfully blocked the evil soul masters who attacked them. These evil soul masters were now faced with the attacks from the Blood God Army's experts.

However, the few Blood Gods ranging from Blood Four to Blood Nine did not have the same luck. Blood Eight was the luckiest of them all. The evil soul master who attacked her had been stopped by Long Tianwu at the first moment.

Moreover, Blood Nine's condition was the most precarious. The evil soul master who attacked him had a superior cultivation base than him. In truth, when the Holy Spirit Cult planned their attack, their real aim was not to take down the Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi. For the other Blood Gods, their objective was to affect them if they could. If they could not be affected, then they would at least attract the Blood God Army's attention and create some disturbance. The true point they wanted to break through was Blood Nine.

The Holy Spirit Cult's research on the Blood God Army had not just started recently. The fact that they were able to lie in wait here proved that they were waiting for this opportunity to arise. They had even researched the Blood Gods Great Array to a good extent.

In Blood God Battalion, the one with the weakest cultivation base was undoubtedly Blood Nine. The evil soul master who attacked Blood Nine had a cultivation base that was greater than the evil soul master who attacked Blood One. He was determined to take down Blood Nine with his all-out attack. Blood Gods Great Array must be maintained by nine persons, and not every Title Douluo could appear among these nine. They had to undergo many years of coordination and practice to successfully accomplish that. So if they could defeat Blood Nine, the Blood Gods Great Array would be destroyed all the same.

The Holy Spirit Cult had never thought about fighting the Blood God Army with its own strength. What they wanted was to draw out the abyssal plane's energy and let the abyssal plane to fight with the Blood God Army to death. This would initiate a great prolonged battle between the abyssal plane and the entire human realm. Regardless of who the final victor was it would greatly affect humans and abyssal creatures alike. This was the outcome that the Holy Spirit wished to see the most. Every negative emotion and dead wraith were nutrients that they could take up.

The evil soul master that appeared before Blood Nine was a lady with a black veil over her face. When she attacked, the Blood God Army's uniform on her body had shattered and disappeared. Her battle armor was pitch black like ink with purple halo flowing within it. Her weapon was a sword that was completely purple-black in color. There was no outburst of energy, but there were three pairs of shadows in the shape of purple-black wings hovering behind her.

If Yuanen Yehui was here, she would definitely have recognized that the figure behind this lady was a Fallen Angel, and it was a high-ranking Fallen Angel to boot. Six wings meant that it was of a Title Douluo's rank. This evil soul master was not like any ordinary Title Douluo.

She instantly slashed eight times at her surroundings with the Shadow Demon Sword in her hands. Her nine soul rings also manifested themselves. Six blacks and three reds. The soul ring that was currently flickering was a black soul ring fifth in order.

Her eighth slash flew across the air, and eight light doors that were as pitch-black as ink appeared around her. The doors blocked the sights of all Blood God Army's warriors. From these eight doors, great three-headed dogs more than five meters in length and three meters in height wildly charged out. Their three heads released ice, fire and dark flames. Flames from the three elements lashed out at everything around them.

Hell's Gates, Cerberus Summoning!

Yuanen Yehui had the same soul skill. However, compared to this evil soul master, the difference in their strength was logically incomparable.

When these eight Hell's Gates appeared, two ram-like horns grew out of the lady's head. The long horns curved upward with their tips directed toward the skies.

Her Shadow Demon Sword shone brightly and she slashed towards Blood Nine with her sword without any techniques.

Blood Nine only felt that he was supposed to be under the protection of the great army. However, he currently felt alone as he faced the evil soul master before him.

The evil soul master's face was covered with a black veil, only her eyes were exposed. The surface of her black mask was adorned with faint purple patterns. It looked mysterious and gorgeous. Her eyes were also very special. They currently had a deep purple hue. They were as mesmerizing as the abyss. Even a single look into them gave the person a feeling of their soul being trapped.

The sword instantly reached Blood Nine. His expression changed. His cultivation base was the weakest among the group. It took him all he had to maintain the Blood Gods Great Array. He did not have any energy to deal with the incoming attacks. Moreover, his attacker was much more powerful than him.

At this very instant, countless thoughts flashed across Blood Nine's mind. He bit his tongue strongly and blood spurted out from his eyes. A layer of flare rose around him.

Without any other choice left to him, he instantly ignited his life flame.

Any soul master with cultivation bases of five-rings and above had the ability to ignite their own life flame. One's life flame could instantly power up one's cultivation base. However, the fuel for one's life flame was one's life energy and potential!

Once ignited, the soul master would quickly run out of life and eventually die.

Blood Nine could clearly see the charge of the inner abyssal kings. If they could not hold their grounds in this round, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the Blood God Army. That was why, regardless of the price they had to pay he could not let the Blood Gods Great Array be broken, even if he had to sacrifice his own life.

Back when he was a preparatory Blood God, he already had such resolve. If there was the need, every Blood God Army's warrior was willing to give up their life to guard the abyssal passage. That was why there was no sadness or pain on his face. Instead, there was a faint smile.

This was his glory, the glory of being the former Blood Nine!

Blood Two had just landed an attack on his evil soul master. Currently, he could not help but had his eyes reddened. However, as one of the cores of the Blood Gods Great Array, he could not do anything right now. They were tied by blood. Even with Hell's Gates blocking his sight, he could clearly feel his son's life energy undergoing an unprecedented sublimation. He knew all too well what this meant.

The sacred life flame circled around Blood Nine as he sighed softly. He raised his right arm and a spear materialized out of thin air. The spear was covered in a layer of light that resembled holy light as it struck the Shadow Demon Sword.

Amidst the crisp clang, the spear and Blood Nine's body violently shook. At the same time, he could not help but display fear in his eyes. Even after he had ignited his life flame he was unable to block the evil soul master's attacks. It was evident from this exchange just how powerful his opponent's cultivation base was. This evil soul master's cultivation base far surpassed his. They were both three-word battle armor masters, but he had not expected the difference in their strength to be this huge.
