Chapter 143 – Nine Treasures Amplification Divine Light

This aura and soul power—though not quite as strong as hers—were enough to hold their own in front of her.

Between Titled Douluo, killing each other wasn't as easy as it might seem. Unless the gap in strength was immense, or one wielded some divine technique like the Great Sumeru Hammer, it was nearly impossible.

Especially between Rank 91 and Rank 95, the difference wasn't as vast as outsiders imagined.

That was why Tang Hao could heavily wound Qian Xunji shortly after advancing to Titled Douluo. Likewise, back then, Moon Douluo hadn't dared try to kill Dugu Bo—then the weakest Titled Douluo—despite their enmity.

"It's just a shame your cultivation is still only at the Soul Emperor level. No matter how much your soul power and presence resemble that of a Titled Douluo, a Soul Emperor is still a Soul Emperor—you will never truly grasp the might of a Titled Douluo."

Bibi Dong's tone was icy, her expression just as cold. As she walked down from the dais, her aura intensified with each step. The sheer pressure made the golden stone tiles beneath her feet begin to crack.

After all, her true strength was that of an Ultimate Douluo. Even if the Rakshasa God Trial still restricted her power, and she hadn't yet finished absorbing Qian Xunji's soul, she remained a force no ordinary Super Douluo could compare with.

"Oh? Then I'd like to see exactly how powerful a Titled Douluo is."

Sunlight blazed within Xu Yang's golden pupils. He looked supremely confident. Through the Sun God Eye, he could see the true level of Bibi Dong's soul power. One glance was enough to assure him—he would not die today.

He circulated the Great Sun Manual at full capacity, his aura surging.

Outside, Ning Fengzhi and the others felt the sudden surge of power and their expressions grew grim. Sword Douluo Chen Xin finally stopped holding back. The Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand, and nine soul rings rose beneath his feet. The first eight soul rings flew into his sword like rays of light, forming eight gems that embedded themselves along the blade. His terrifying aura, at the peak of Super Douluo, swept across Spirit City.

In that moment, every soul master within the city felt as if a murderous sword hung over their hearts. Even the ongoing matches in the tournament came to a screeching halt. On the stage, Blazing Academy and Shrek Academy's students immediately stopped their attacks and began circulating soul power to resist the bone-chilling pressure.

Ghost Leopard Douluo, Devil Bear Douluo, and Ghost Douluo released their full soul power and activated Martial Soul Possession.

The Ghost Leopard's body was covered in fur, his head sprouting the distinctive markings of a spectral black leopard. A long tail stretched out behind him, and his hands turned into razor-sharp claws.

The Devil Bear grew a full meter taller, his already-burly figure now resembling a small giant. His head bore the features of a Blood Demon Crazy Bear, and his enormous palms had become bear claws the size of basins.

Ghost Douluo's body was shrouded in dense black mist, flickering in and out of phase between solid and illusory.

All three stood on nine soul rings. In the instant Chen Xin revealed his power, they simultaneously completed Martial Soul Possession and combined their strength, forming a joint soul power barrier just strong enough to resist his terrifying pressure.

"Step aside."

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, his voice cold and commanding. Overhead, the towering Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spun, emitting radiant nine-colored light. The nine soul rings at his feet began to converge. In the three Douluos' stunned eyes, the first eight soul rings were slowly absorbed into the ninth—his one hundred thousand year red soul ring—which began to shine with blinding brilliance, painting the surroundings red.

Meanwhile, in a hidden palace deep within Spirit Hall, six secretive elders who'd been in seclusion suddenly opened their eyes. In a flash, they gathered in the central hall. Five of them turned toward the gold-robed, silver-threaded old man at the center—his beard and brows like flowing silk.

"Second Worship, whose pressure is this? The sword intent is terrifying—very similar to that Dustless Gentleman who challenged Grand Worship decades ago!"

"That should be Dustless Gentleman's son—Sword Douluo Chen Xin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. Same Martial Soul: the Seven Kill Sword. I didn't expect he'd reach the same heights as his father. Remarkable."

Upon Demon Subduing Douluo's question, Golden Crocodile Douluo instantly identified the source of the aura as a non-Spirit Hall Titled Douluo. He couldn't help but marvel—but then his face turned grim. He looked at the five and ordered:

"All of you, come with me. The dignity of Spirit Hall cannot be challenged!"

The moment he spoke, Golden Crocodile Douluo transformed into a golden streak and shot out of Spirit Hall. The other five elders quickly followed.

"Fengzhi, Spirit Hall's Worship Hall elders are coming!"

Chen Xin felt the movement of six powerful soul forces and immediately alerted Ning Fengzhi.

"Good! In that case, don't blame me for being rude!"

All traces of the refined gentleman vanished from Ning Fengzhi's face. He now radiated only bone-deep killing intent. As Chen Xin's warning reached him, he snarled and let out a low roar. The ninth soul ring, already infused with the previous eight, exploded with dazzling red light.

"Nine Treasures are Named, Ninth: Nine Treasure Amplification Divine Light!"

As the ninth soul skill activated, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda overhead turned completely crimson. The soul ring beneath it pulsed in perfect sync. A brilliant red beam of light shot out from the pagoda and entered Chen Xin's body.

Instantly, Sword Douluo's soul power and aura skyrocketed—doubling in an instant.

The three Spirit Hall Douluos—Ghost Leopard, Demon Bear, and Ghost—were completely caught off guard. Their combined soul power shield shattered in the blink of an eye. All three were blasted away by the resulting shockwave.

Pfft!

It felt like their hearts had been rammed by a one-hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Blood sprayed from their mouths as they crashed into a residential building a hundred meters away.

Chen Xin's eyes were steely. His body pulsed with a power stronger than he had ever known. He raised his Seven Kill Sword, pointing it straight at the Spirit Hall complex.

This was Ning Fengzhi's Ninth Soul Skill – Nine Treasures Amplification Divine Light. It enhanced all attributes of the target by 100%. Combined with his Soul Ring Fusion talent—merging the first eight rings into the ninth—it unlocked the true potential of the red ring, pushing the enhancement to an unbelievable 200%.

This was, without a doubt, the strongest augmentation-type soul skill that Xu Yang and Chen Xin had ever witnessed. A full-attribute 200% increase was not linear—it was exponential.

Chen Xin had already reached Rank 98. With this boost, his strength now rivaled that of any Ultimate Douluo—even those who had lived for over a century, like Qian Daoliu.
