"..."
"Roar——!"
"Ao——!"
In Luo Nan's mind, the furious roar of the Golden Sacred Dragon and the unruly howl of the Dark Demon Dragon seemed to ring out simultaneously.
The golden sacred Soul Power and the black destructive Soul Power used Luo Nan's body as a battlefield, launching a frantic suppression and collision!
"Pfft——!"
Luo Nan violently spewed a large mouthful of fresh blood, his entire body feeling as if it had been heavily smashed in the chest by a heavy hammer.
He was sent flying backward directly, heavily breaking dozens of large trees before finally stopping.
"Damn it... Backlash... To actually happen at a time like this..."
Luo Nan curled up on the ground in pain, the veins all over his body bulging like little snakes.
The left half of his body emitted a brilliant golden light, resembling a deity descending to the mortal world.
Meanwhile, the right half of his body was shrouded in dense black Qi, resembling an evil ghost Asura.
Two completely different forces frantically tore at his Meridians, bones, and internal organs within his body.
That excruciating pain, as if wanting to tear his Soul into two halves, caused even someone with Luo Nan's tenacious Heart-Nature to involuntarily emit a painful howl.
He had calculated everything, accounting for the strength of the Nether Sea Dragon Beast and even predicting the possible tracking of Spirit Hall.
Yet he uniquely underestimated the twin spirits—especially the fatal conflicting backlash of light-and-dark opposing twin spirits!
He had a premonition that his twin spirits would experience conflicting backlash, but he never expected it to appear at this exact time!
"I must... suppress it!"
Luo Nan clenched his teeth tightly, fresh blood continuously overflowing from the corner of his mouth in a shocking manner.
He knew that if he allowed these two forces to continue conflicting,
even his formidable Physical Body, which had been tempered by the Immortal Plant of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, might not necessarily be able to withstand it.
With the counter-clash between light and darkness, if not handled properly, it might ultimately even end up in a downfall where his body exploded and he died.
Strongly enduring the excruciating pain of his Soul being torn, he forcibly mobilized the massive Soul Power inside his body, reaching Rank Ninety-Five.
Resembling a towering mountain, it fiercely suppressed the two rampaging forces within his body.
"Settle down!"
Luo Nan roared frantically in his heart.
He pushed his Mental Energy to the extreme, transforming it into countless invisible shackles, attempting to forcibly separate the Golden Sacred Dragon and the Dark Demon Dragon.
This was an extremely long and painful process; every collision of light and darkness would cause Luo Nan's Meridians to produce a wave of tearing-like excruciating pain.
Time ticked away second by second.
From late night all the way to early morning, and from early morning all the way to noon.
It took a full several hours before Luo Nan's body, which felt as if it had been washed by water and was completely soaked in cold sweat, finally stopped trembling violently.
The distinct gold and black dual-colored light on the surface of his body also began to slowly recede, ultimately concealing itself deep within his body.
"Hoo... Hoo..."
Luo Nan collapsed powerlessly onto the ground, panting heavily with large breaths, his chest violently heaving.
His complexion was as pale as paper, without a trace of color, and his eyes revealed deep exhaustion.
"At least... it's barely balanced."
Luo Nan gave a bitter smile, looking inward at his physical condition.
At this moment, his body felt as though it had experienced a magnitude-twelve mega-earthquake.
His Meridians were severely damaged, and his internal organs had all suffered varying degrees of concussion.
Although his life was saved, the sequelae left behind by the rampant forces of light and darkness inside his body made him feel unprecedented weakness.
He carefully sensed his current Soul Power Rank.
"Still Rank Ninety-Five..."
Luo Nan let out a sigh.
Having absorbed an 180,000-year super spirit ring, plus an 180,000-year top-grade torso Spirit Bone.
Logically speaking, even for a Titled Douluo, their Soul Power should have ushered in a massive surge.
Let alone a massive surge, at the very least it should have been able to enter Rank Ninety-Six, right?
But the reality was that his Soul Power Rank remained completely motionless, still lingering at Rank Ninety-Five.
It was identical to the situation when he absorbed the 100,000-year spirit ring of the Titan Giant Ape previously.
That mouthful of feedback from absorbing the spirit ring and the Spirit Bone was all greedily devoured by the Dark Demon Dragon Spirit.
It was used to replenish its own Origin, without giving even a sliver of feedback to Luo Nan's Soul Power Rank.
"It seems that before completely resolving the balance issue of the twin spirits, I must absolutely not add any more spirit rings to the Dark Demon Dragon."
Luo Nan calculated inwardly in his heart.
"Furthermore, during this recent period of time, I must strictly control myself and must never easily use the Dark Demon Dragon Spirit."
"Otherwise, once the balance is broken again, next time I might not be this lucky to suppress it."
Thinking of this, Luo Nan couldn't help but feel a wave of a headache.
He originally thought that having obtained the 180,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, his strength would usher in a qualitative leap.
Yet he never expected that the Dark Demon Dragon would present him with such a huge problem at this critical juncture.
As for him right now, not only could he not unleash his full strength,
but instead, because he had to divide a considerable portion of his attention to maintain the balance of the Spirits within his body, his combat power was greatly discounted.
"Forget it, let's not think about these for now."
"The top priority is to quickly rest and adjust, restore the damaged Meridians, and then leave this ghost place as soon as possible."
Luo Nan struggled to sit up, taking out several bottles of potions formulated by Granny Ye Ci from the storage spirit tool.
After drinking them all in one gulp, Luo Nan closed his eyes, preparing to start circulating his energy to heal his wounds.
However, the instant he just closed his eyes, a powerful aura full of fatal threat suddenly burst into his Mental Energy perception range!
"Truly, one searches for iron shoes without finding them, only to obtain them without any effort!"
A cold, arrogant female voice, yet carrying a few traces of hard-to-conceal wild joy and killing intent, suddenly exploded above the isolated island.
Luo Nan abruptly opened his eyes, turning his head to look in the direction the voice came from.
He saw that less than a hundred meters away in midair, a graceful figure was standing suspended in the air.
She wore a luxurious brilliant golden long dress, wore a purple-gold crown on her head, and held a scepter radiating a dim, dark glow in her hand.
On that breathtakingly stunning face, there was currently hanging a cold and cruel sneer.
"Bibi Dong..."
Luo Nan looked at the newcomer, unable to help letting out a long sigh.
He never expected that at this time when he was at his weakest and least wished to be disturbed by others, the one who came would actually be the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall!
Luo Nan remembered that he had only angrily cursed Yu Xiaogang a few times right in front of Bibi Dong; could this woman possibly hold a grudge to this extent?
He had even run all the way out to the ocean, and she could still chase him here?
Bibi Dong looked down condescendingly at Luo Nan.
Her gaze swept across Luo Nan's paper-pale complexion, his slightly trembling body, and the corpse of the Nether Sea Dragon Beast not far away that was as huge as a small hill.
Bibi Dong saw through the ins and outs of the matter at a glance.
"An 180,000-year Nether Sea Dragon Beast... Luo Nan, you truly went all out!"
