Chapter 125 - The First Sharpness

Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape directly charged toward Bibi Dong, and the other Title Douluo also faced their respective opponents. The battle between soul beasts and humans officially began.

The Nine-Hearted Begonia in Ye Renxin's hand swayed, but as a Soul Douluo, his healing ability was not as good as Bi Ji's, and the human side was continuously forced to retreat.

Fortunately, Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Spear Douluo joined the battlefield, slightly relieving the pressure on the human side, and Ye Renxin's anxious heart also felt slightly at ease.

But when he saw a demonic spirit swooping down, surrounded by evil energy, his spirit was shocked, and he nearly fainted.

Bone Douluo, who was protecting them, quickly supported him. Seeing the demonic spirit rushing down, his expression turned grim. Ning Fengzhi was fully supporting Sword Douluo and the Star Crown Sect leader. Without his help, Bone Douluo was no match for this soul beast.

However, as the demonic spirit drew closer and he was about to risk his life, Xu Mingxi pulled him back.

"Bone Douluo, protect the people on the wall. I'll take care of that soul beast."

Gu Rong was startled. He hadn't even noticed when Xu Mingxi had arrived. Nor did he know when a 100,000-year-old blood-red soul ring had appeared on the battlefield.

Bi Ji, in the sky, looked extremely grim. She waved her life energy to heal the soul beasts.

The battlefield was too vast. The 100,000-year-old Ivory Boar had died too quickly. She didn't have time to heal it. By the time she noticed, the boar's soul bone had already been taken.

"Demonic spirit, kill that human."

"Yes, Lady Bi Ji."

The 280,000-year-old demonic spirit, comparable to a Level 97 Title Douluo, let out a gloomy laugh and charged directly at Xu Mingxi, determined to take his head.

The appearance of the blood-red soul ring attracted a lot of attention. Even Qingluan, who was being beaten by Xiong Jun, made time to look over.

Under everyone's gaze, Xu Mingxi rose into the sky. A star field unfurled; the sun shone from one end of the sky, the silver moon glowed brightly, stars twinkled, and nine soul rings slowly appeared on his body.

"A hundred-thousand-year soul ring—and two of them."

Bone Douluo was stunned. Although Xu Mingxi had previously revealed his domain, he had only sighed. But a two-hundred-thousand-year soul ring was different. This was the foundation of becoming an unparalleled Douluo. He hadn't expected the Star Crown Sect to still have such a monster hidden.

With the Star Domain opened, the Star Crown Martial Soul users received a full boost, elevating their power. The retreating sect master also had a chance to breathe.

Xu Mingxi soared into the sky with golden crow wings on his back. As he moved, the star field slowly enveloped the demonic spirit. Under the scorching sun, the evil energy surrounding the demonic spirit was clearly suppressed.

Evil energy was his key to survival. The demonic spirit was evil, and the surrounding energy surged again. When exposed to sunlight, it made a sizzling melting sound.

The demonic spirit screamed, and Xu Mingxi suddenly felt his soul being impacted. The soul bone of the Moon-Worshiping Wolf King in his head activated.

Moonlight shone on Xu Mingxi's body, and the spiritual impact from the demonic spirit was instantly neutralized and rendered ineffective.

The soul bone skill of the Moon-Worshiping Wolf King, "Clear Moon Divine Wall" and "Bright Moon Purifying Dust", one specialized in resisting mental attacks, the other could cleanse all negative effects from the body.

Seeing his usual tricks fail, the demonic spirit rushed toward Xu Mingxi at an extremely high speed. He didn't believe that close combat wouldn't work on this human.

A blazing sun cannon was fired instantly, and a green moonlight surrounded it, choking the demonic spirit.

Xu Mingxi flapped his golden crow wings and quickly retreated. It was a joke for a tower mage to engage a soul beast in close combat. He wasn't foolish. Even if he could defeat it, he wouldn't risk it.

On one side, he unleashed fierce attacks; on the other, he demonstrated incredible speed—appearing and disappearing, constantly harassing the demonic spirit. He used his body to block unavoidable attacks. With Bi Ji's healing light, his wounds recovered quickly.

Such a dazzling display drew almost everyone's attention. Qian Daoliu looked over, and his face—already pale from being beaten by Di Tian—turned even worse.

He began to question whether his idea of letting the Star Crown Sect survive in a corner was correct. This threat seemed exactly as expected—or worse.

It wasn't enough to have a Level 97 Title Douluo as sect leader. Where had this masked man, capable of fighting a 200,000-year soul beast, come from?

The shining crown of stars on his head revealed his identity and constantly instilled fear in others.

Amid the battle against soul beasts, the human soul masters on the scene all watched Xu Mingxi display his strength, each with different thoughts—especially Ning Fengzhi, who stood behind providing support. He had a certain understanding of the Star Crown Sect's hidden power and now had more to consider.

He looked at the Star Crown Sect master, who was clearly only half as strong as Sword Douluo, then looked at Xu Mingxi, who had two 100,000-year soul rings, with a complex expression.

Ning Fengzhi knew the sect had two other Title Douluo, but who knew what other forces they might be hiding?

He knew very well what it meant to hide a genius like this and be willing to expose him now. Perhaps the Star Crown Sect was no longer afraid of Spirit Hall's conquest.

"Uncle Gu, after this war is over, let's go visit the Star Crown Sect."

"Alright."

The speaker was casual, but the listener was interested. Ye Renxin, standing beside Ning Fengzhi, looked at the Star Crown Sect team holding off the flying soul beasts, his mind racing.

The situation on the continent was now chaotic. Even though he was the most famous healing soul master and had saved many, he still couldn't guarantee his or his family's safety.

He wasn't concerned for himself—he would die—but he had to consider his family and his granddaughter, Ye Lingling, who had awakened the Nine-Hearted Begonia martial soul.

The Star Crown Sect might be a good choice. Xingchen seemed to know a disciple of the sect. Maybe they could visit when the time came.

Some admired it, but of course, some were angry. Not only were two Clear Sky Sect Title Douluo beaten half to death, but Bibi Dong, who was barely holding off Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, was also struggling, even though the Star Crown Sect hadn't provoked her.

"Jue Douluo, use your martial soul fusion skill. I want to kill these two soul beasts and absorb their soul rings."

"Yes."

The two-level static field was activated, temporarily immobilizing the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. Bibi Dong began to unleash her full power. What she didn't notice was that Ju Douluo, maintaining the martial soul fusion technique, looked deeply at Xu Mingxi.

Just when the masked man from the Star Crown Sect released his soul skill, Ju Douluo's martial soul, Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, felt something.

"This person… seems to carry the scent of fairy grass."
