Chapter 82: Titled Douluo, Defeated.
Boom—flames rushed down like a flood breaking through a dam, sweeping across the eight directions.
The spectacle, like the destruction of stars, instantly silenced the world.
The pressure from the wind attribute allowed the explosive power of the flames to be released almost perfectly.
As we all know, gunpowder does not explode immediately after ignition.
But when it is stuffed into a shell, the closed environment causes it to burst with terrifying power.
At the moment when this wind pressure was broken, the endless wind turbulence doubled the power of the explosion. The air twisted like the starry sky described by Van Gogh.
The terrifying power of the ultimate fire from the ten-thousand-year soul ring was unleashed without restraint in the sky.
Flames burned, rendering the sky red. The white clouds also turned red, and a hellish landscape appeared on earth.
This was the power of Su Ye's first soul skill, Red Sky Flowing Fire, combined with his second soul skill, Evil Wind Dance!
After experiencing the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, Su Ye's first soul ring completely evolved into the ultimate fire. The power of his soul skills became incomparable.
Swish!
Suddenly, a figure shot out of the explosion circle and flew away at high speed.
"Boy!"
"I, She Long, will remember today's revenge!"
An angry voice, mixed with fear, echoed from afar. She Long fled without hesitation, clearly afraid Su Ye would give chase.
He was charred all over, his clothes nearly burned away, his chest bloody, limbs shriveled, and white bone faintly visible from the explosion wounds.
Despite his severe injuries, She Long's escape speed hardly slowed. He could still fight, but the defeat was clear.
"...He's not dead yet?"
Su Ye was a bit disappointed.
Such terrifying soul skills, combined with ultimate fire, still couldn't kill an ordinary Titled Douluo?
No wonder it was so difficult for even Super Douluo to kill one.
If Snake Lance knew what Su Ye was thinking, he would cough up blood.
He had used his eighth soul skill, protected by his martial soul avatar—his full strength. Yet he was beaten within an inch of his life.
Across the soul master world, how many could do such a thing—especially a three-ring soul master?!
A three-ring soul master who could use the spirit body?
Watching Snake Spear Douluo flee, Su Ye simply stood in the air, not intending to chase.
The spirit body had been released, and his second soul skill didn't automatically store energy—it was purely powered by his own soul power. The previous attack had consumed most of it.
Qian Renxue still had another Titled Douluo beside her—Thorny Porpoise Douluo.
Facing two Titled Douluo, he would gain nothing.
Swish!
Like a meteor across the sky, the Ice and Fire Golden Phoenix carried Su Ye away into the distance.
The wind rustled in his ears.
Although he had defeated Snake Spear Douluo head-on, Su Ye didn't feel much joy.
This battle taught him a lot—
Whether it was practical combat experience...
Or integrated fighting methods...
These were things he needed to learn.
"The attack from Snake Spear carried a vast momentum—probably a law that Titled Douluo can touch, mobilizing the power of heaven and earth..."
The image of the Snake Spear colliding with the Ice Dragon King's claw kept flashing through Su Ye's mind.
His eyes brightened, and his thoughts became clearer.
His body was already comparable to a power-type Soul Saint.
After the tempering from the Yin-Yang Eyes and immortal medicinal herbs, it had reached an even higher level.
Although the Water Dragon King's arm claw wasn't the most powerful, it was a top-level dragon claw soul bone—its power was extraordinary.
His punch could now exceed 100,000 pounds of force.
Snake Spear Douluo wasn't a power-type Titled Douluo.
Facing Su Ye, who had activated the second level of the Tiangang Divine Fist, his strength was clearly inferior—but he could still resist with the spear.
"It seems that... physical strength is only the foundation, not the source of a soul master's power."
"In that case, those at the very top—like Poseidon and Qian Daoliu—rely mainly on soul power and law perception!"
Having found the answer, Su Ye felt like sunlight pierced through the clouds—his mind became especially clear.
At this moment, he finally understood why Poseidon in the original novel had difficulty holding the trident, yet could stir the seas with a wave of his hand.
It was because they didn't rely on pure physical strength, but the power of controlling the external world—just like the Sea God could mobilize the ocean.
"Hunyuan Gong"... it seems to have such an effect...
Su Ye found it a little strange when he thought about this.
As an outsider, he didn't know how to comprehend the great momentum of heaven and earth—
But that didn't mean he couldn't comprehend it.
Hunyuan Gong, a divine technique based on the five elements, was undoubtedly a shortcut to understanding the laws of the world.
"Once I gather the Five Element Inner Elixirs, it'll be much easier."
"As for actual combat experience... I should train in the City of Slaughter."
"The power of Shura is one of the five original divine powers in the world. There's no reason to ignore it..."
Su Ye kept these thoughts in mind.
Currently, he wanted to obtain the [Thunder] and [Water] soul rings, and condense the [Gold], [Wood], and [Earth] inner elixirs.
If he could complete it quickly, that would be ideal.
Heading southwest, Su Ye flew toward Tiandou City.
---
Meanwhile, in the camp where Prince Xue Qinghe rested…
Su Ye hadn't struck the auxiliary system too hard.
Thanks to the healing of the Colorful Lotus Martial Spirit, the whole team recovered quickly.
Still, one Soul Saint's martial spirit was shattered, and his cultivation ruined for now…
The three Soul Emperors were knocked down—especially Captain Lei Dun, who was beaten like a sandbag…
It had been like a ghost walked through an empty camp.
Their opponent had been the prince of the Star Luo Empire.
Tiandou had lost more than it won against Star Luo.
Morale was already low, and this humiliation only deepened it.
The atmosphere in the camp was heavy and tense.
All the soldiers kept their heads down and were silent.
On their iron-blooded faces, only quiet fury remained.
"Your Highness."
Lei Dun suddenly appeared outside the carriage, his voice trembling slightly.
"Mm."
Qian Renxue's cold voice drifted out, calm yet full of pressure.
Lei Dun approached quickly and reported,
"Your Highness, we've confirmed it."
"Li Xiong and the others did leave the camp earlier. They most likely had a conflict with the target along the way."
"And…"
He hesitated—what he was about to say clearly wasn't good.
"Speak!" Qian Renxue's voice turned colder.
Lei Dun no longer dared to hold back and revealed everything he had learned.
Suddenly, silence.
Outside the carriage, the air was frigid and deadly still.
Sweat poured down Lei Dun's forehead like rain.
He didn't dare breathe too loudly.
Although the five weren't members of the Royal Knights, they were still imperial soldiers.
His Royal Highness hated those who bullied the weak and oppressed the people.
How dare they do something like this now?!
"Go."
After a long pause, Qian Renxue's calm voice rang out again—just one word, but it made Lei Dun's heart tremble.
"Yes."
He saluted respectfully, received the order, and went off to deal with Li Xiong and the others.
Inside the carriage, Qian Renxue leaned on her arm, her delicate face like jade.
A knowing smile appeared on her lips.
"Not for yourself..."
"Dai... Mu... Bai..."
"This is quite interesting..."
