Blood Nine instantly acknowledged that the evil soul master who appeared before him had most probably possessed a cultivation base of rank-97 or above.

A soul master at rank-95 was classified as a Hyper Douluo. There was a saying that said above rank-95, every further step was a high ladder. The difference between even a single rank corresponded to a huge gap in strength. Also, this evil soul master’s martial soul was also one of the strongest of its kind.

When it was a one-on-one battle even with his father, Blood Two’s rank-97 cultivation base might not even be able to suppress this opponent.

All thoughts flashed across his mind in an instant. Blood Nine opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. This mouthful of fresh blood combusted in the air and turned into a mass of golden red flare that fell onto his spear. His spear instantly burst forth with a brilliance that was difficult to describe. Even the evil soul master expressed hesitation on her face.

Intense explosion sounds erupted around the Hell’s Gates. Even though this evil soul master had extremely powerful cultivation base, Blood God Army’s attacks were extraordinary. Her Hell’s Gates could not be maintained for a long time against them.

Her Shadow Demon Sword glowed with dark light. The horns on her head instantly turned into dark purple Shadow Demon Swords. The instant they collided with the bloodied spear, the space around them contorted.

The three-word battle armor on Blood Nine’s body shattered inch by inch. His battle armor erupted loudly and turned into a storm of metal which lashed out at the evil soul master. Almost all the pores on his body sprayed blood mist. This blood mist was added into his burning life flame making it burn stronger.

A strange look flashed across the evil soul master’s purple eyes. Her attack should have been a sure kill but because of her target’s unexpected tenacity, her mission had become increasingly difficult.

Her Shadow Demon Sword had no choice but to return to her side to defend her. It turned into a dark purple light screen which blocked Blood Nine’s attack.

At this moment, three of the eight Hell’s Gates seemed to have shattered. At the same time, a few unparalleled imposing auras charged toward the evil soul master.

“As expected of a Blood God.” Her ice-cold voice had no trace of emotions but had a peculiarly evil tone to it.

The dark purple figure rose from the ground. Suddenly, a purple-black crack opened up in midair. When this person leaped, she strongly swung her Shadow Demon Sword and the ninth soul ring on her body shone brightly. The skies darkened, and the other eight evil soul masters immediately turned into streaks of purple light instantly disappearing into the crack. After she took a deep look at Blood Nine, her gaze also disappeared into the crack.

Blood Nine’s focus had always been on her. He did not know why but when their eyes locked at the final moment, he suddenly had a peculiar feeling. That pair of emotionless eyes was now deeply ingrained into his mind.

However, he immediately forgot all about this. His life flame was already blazing. It could be said that he was in his most powerful condition right now. However, this life flame could not be stopped.

Mouthfuls of fresh blood were spat out by Blood Nine. His life flame burned brighter and brighter. He infused his soul power into the Blood Gods Great Array making it even more stable. After Blood four, every Blood God had suffered some form of damage. However, they were fortunate enough to have support from the Life Seed. At least no one had died during the ambush of the evil soul masters. While Blood Gods Great Array was shaken, it did not break down in the end.

However, Blood Nine’s ignited life flame could not be put out now. Since his life flame had already burned to this extent, it would have to burn out completely. It would only die out after his body and even his soul was completely burned.

Two rows of tears flowed down Blood Two’s cheeks. This was his only son. It did not matter how strict he was to him during normal times. As a father, he was looking at his son losing his life in front of him and was powerless to do anything. The anguish he was feeling was unimaginable.

Blood Two’s heart was in a complete breakdown. However, what he saw was his son’s blood-spitting smile.

Blood Nine seemed to be telling him, ‘Father, I didn’t give you any shame. I didn’t put any shame on our Blood God Battalion.’

However, all this was unimportant to Blood Two. His only wish right now was for his son to continue living!

The other Blood Gods’ auras became unstable at the moment. This was especially true for Blood Eight who stood closest to Blood Nine. Currently, her eyes were filled with tears.

She knew that Blood Nine had liked her all this while and had always pursued her. However, her proud self kept telling him that she would give him a chance when he becomes stronger than her.

Blood Nine had been working hard. Blood Eight, unwilling to lose, was also moving forward. In the end, he could not surpass her cultivation base.

However, when she saw the glow of Blood Nine’s life burning at its brightest and inching closer towards dying out, Blood Eight’s heart was filled with endless regret. She regretted having been proud and not agreeing to him sooner.

Blood Nine’s gaze shifted from his father to Blood Eight. Although he kept spitting blood, his smile grew warmer and warmer. There was no longer any trace of his former pride, what was left was an intense but gentle gaze. His remaining hope was to deeply engrave the silhouette before him in his mind during his final moments. He wanted to wish her well with his final brilliance.

Blood Gods Great Array was experiencing a great change while a great battle of life and death had already begun inside the array.

Intense explosion sounds accompanied a terrifying metal storm as it erupted and wreaked havoc inside the abyssal passage. Countless abyssal creatures were torn to shreds. The rank-9 fixed soul ammunition’s destructive power was truly terrifying. It even surpassed the abyssal creatures knowledge.

Although they had also faced these super weapons of the humans six thousand years ago, the human’s allied army did not use them widely for fear of collateral damage. However, there was no possibility of collateral damage in the abyssal passage. That was why when the rank-9 fixed soul ammunition was flung by the Bright Mirror Douluo Zhang Huanyun, it detonated and had quickly stopped the seven charging abyssal kings in their tracks.

Black Monarch spread the wings behind her which turned into a Curtain of Darkness. She protected the other six abyssal kings behind her. Her Black-Devour Demon Fog was completely let loose as it collided with the wild and wanton metal storm.

In order to protect the other six abyssal kings, she had no choice but to withstand the rank-9 fixed soul ammunition’s explosion force head-on. Even with Black Monarch’s cultivation base, under the wild energy’s impact, her aura could not help but be greatly lowered as well.

Even the Black-Devour Demon Fog could not absorb such explosive energy.

With this cooldown period, Zhang Huanyun had met up with Tang Wulin. Zhang Huanyun lowered his voice and anxiously said, “You take care of the center and don’t worry about anything else. I’ll deal with other matters.”

As he said this, Zhang Huanyun’s seventh soul ring shone brightly. The Bright Mirror behind him enlarged instantly. It turned into a giant mirror with a diameter of more than a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. Zhang Huanyun’s own body seemed to dissolve into it.

Bright Mirror avatar!

Tang Wulin drew a deep breath and shouted with a deep voice, “Damask, guys, help me!”

With his shout, beams of light separated from his body. They were the various plant type soul beasts that had followed him since Icefire Polarized Eyes.

With Damask Tulip as their leader, the others were Blazing Apricot Cabbage Xiao Huo, Eight-Pointed Frozen Grass Xiao Bing, Black Jade Divine Bamboo Mo Mo, Earthworm Pumpkin Gua Gua, and Piercing Gaze Dew Xiao Qiu.

The six great plant type soul beasts cultivation bases were above a hundred thousand years since a long time ago. They had also gained intelligence.

Ever since they followed Tang Wulin, they had been experiencing the Life Seed’s aura and were being nurtured within Tang Wulin’s sea of spirit. Although these six great plant type soul beasts seldom contacted Tang Wulin, they were genuinely thankful for the choice they made back then.

In the beginning, their initial objective of following Tang Wulin to leave Icefire Polarized Eyes was so that they could absorb more of the life seed’s aura. They intended to stabilize their cultivation base’s foundations that they had formed in Icefire Polarized Eyes and wait for an opportunity to achieve another breakthrough.

However, they quickly realized that the benefit they gained from being inside Tang Wulin’s body was not the Life Seed alone.

Tang Wulin’s bloodline aura’s density had surpassed what they knew as possible. They noticed with shock that every time Tang Wulin’s cultivation base improved, especially after the formation of his Dragon Core, the dense blood essence power washed over their bodies and the nutrients it gave them were much denser than what they received in Icefire Polarized Eyes.

These were two different energies. The energy within Icefire Polarized Eyes was the highest quality of heaven and earth spirits. The energy within Tang Wulin’s body was the densest life force. The Golden Dragon King bloodline aura’s influence on them at this stage was much stronger than the Icefire Polarized Eyes.

This was because, in a certain sense, they were no longer pure soul beasts. With their cultivation bases that exceeded a hundred thousand years, they could turn into humans. Hence, they had to mimic a human’s bloodline and the human body’s constitution. With their humanoid bodies, they had to learn to utilize their heaven and earth power. Even if they chose to not become human, this was a process that they had to go through.
