Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng's martial soul, Scorpion Tiger, originated from the super soul beast Dark Demon Evil God Tiger; it was a subspecies of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Although the Scorpion Tiger martial soul was powerful, when facing the true form of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it was still completely suppressed. To draw an analogy, it was like the natural suppression of the Golden Dragon King over the Tyrannosaurus rex.
The Tyrannosaurus rex possessed pure Golden Dragon King bloodline and inherited the Golden Dragon King's formidable physical strength. Likewise, all of Scorpion Tiger's abilities stemmed from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?! How is this possible?!" As Zhang Peng, who had transformed into the Scorpion Tiger true body, stared with his dark purple eyes, the emotions within them were instantly replaced by terror. The fierce glint from before had completely vanished, leaving only a trembling that originated from bloodline and soul, rendering any thought of resistance impossible.
At this moment, he was horrified to discover that his full strength could no longer reach even fifty percent of its peak. His aura plummeted, and the dark clouds surrounding his body rapidly contracted.
Although Silver Bone Douluo was also somewhat surprised and uncertain about the arrival of Xu Zihuang and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, as a long-established powerhouse, how could he fail to see the current situation clearly?
"Hahahahaha! Zhang Peng, so even you have a day like this?!" Silver Bone Douluo laughed wildly. All nine of his soul rings actually lit up at the same time.
"With just you from the Holy Spirit Cult thinking you can ambush us?! This old man thinks none of you will leave here alive today!"
Four purple, four black, one red, the same soul ring configuration as Gold Body Douluo.
Silver Bone Douluo and Gold Body Douluo's martial souls were bone and torso, respectively; among all body martial souls, they belonged to the same type. Both emphasized the whole body, excelling in both offense and defense. Moreover, they were innately secondary-awakened body martial souls, supplemented by the Body Sect's special secret techniques, allowing them to possess soul ring configurations that surpassed conventional understanding.
However, innately secondary-awakened body martial souls had one drawback: excessively stimulating the martial soul's potential in the early stages would lead to insufficient stamina later on. They were destined to be unable to elevate the secondary awakening of their body martial soul to the golden level when breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm.
The Body Sect's sect master, Du Busi, was precisely because he cultivated the Body Sect sect master's lineage of body secret techniques and had yet to complete the secondary awakening of his body martial soul. Otherwise, given his martial soul's potential, the configuration of his first six soul rings would definitely have been even more exaggerated than Gold Body Douluo and Silver Bone Douluo's.
It was only after breaking through to the Soul Sage realm that Du Busi finally cultivated the body secret technique to perfection. Only then was he able to continuously absorb three hundred-thousand-year soul rings afterward.
Unlike Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng, Silver Bone Douluo's aura began to soar steadily. The silver exoskeleton covering his entire body became increasingly brilliant, like a divine silver sun, completely suppressing Zhang Peng from all directions.
Not only that, a silvery-white radiance lit up behind him. It was a silver figure in the form of a complete human skeleton, resembling a gigantic humanoid skull. The silvery light felt almost tangible, and its heavy presence seemed to create a crushing sensation across this entire space.
White-silver-level secondary awakening of the body martial soul!
At that moment, Silver Bone Douluo transformed into a silver meteor, diving down from above toward Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng.
Under the double suppression of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and Silver Bone Douluo's auras, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng was already struggling to even breathe. The fully erupted Silver Bone Douluo seemed to completely seal off the space around him.
Evil soul masters draw their real power from the "evil" aspect itself, infamous for bizarre, uncanny, and wildly unpredictable methods that defy conventional defense. When it comes to straightforward, direct combat, they may well fall short of the Body Sect's genuine heavyweights.
But Zhang Peng was, after all, a Super Douluo. Even in such dire straits, he still desperately unleashed his ninth soul skill.
The deep black ninth soul ring shone. The Scorpion Tiger's true body suddenly expanded, transforming into countless black shadows that scattered in all directions. Yet wherever the silver meteor passed, at least two-thirds of the black shadows were instantly vaporized.
When Zhang Peng reappeared, he was already several thousand meters away. His face was pale, and a mouthful of blood sprayed from his mouth; even his consciousness began to blur.
Not only that, his body continued to fly backward at high speed diagonally downward, smashing through several mountain peaks.
Boom, boom, boom—
Buried deep within the mountain, the oppressive force coming from both his chest and back caused fragments of internal organs to mix in with the blood he was coughing up. He gasped violently, his face twisted in ferocity. A strong will to survive surged in his heart.
Although he had joined the Holy Spirit Cult for certain reasons, he had never intended to die for them. In the face of his own life, nothing else mattered.
On the other side, Xu Zihuang hovered expressionlessly beside Silver Bone Douluo. Toward these evil soul masters, he naturally showed no mercy. The reason he had not continued to interfere in the battle between Silver Bone Douluo and Zhang Peng was that he had a higher-priority task.
Severely injure Feng Ling!
The battle between Gold Body Douluo and Feng Ling had likewise reached a white-hot stage.
"Ah—" A sharp phoenix cry rang out once more in the sky. As Feng Ling spread her wings behind her, the sky instantly turned purplish-black. A gigantic dark phoenix loomed faintly within that purplish-black sky.
In the next instant, Feng Ling's figure merged with the phoenix phantom. The purplish-black evil phoenix suddenly charged forth, trailing brilliant purplish-black tail flames and countless strange ripples.
Evil Phoenix True Body!
From a distance, Feng Ling's Evil Phoenix True Body exuded an air of nobility, but those blood-red eyes completely shattered that nobility. The surrounding space distorted violently, rippling with purple halos, as if countless shrill, wailing howls echoed through the air.
At that moment, Feng Ling's ninth soul ring, the hundred-thousand-year one, also bloomed with a strange, eerie blood-red light. Suddenly, an incomparably intense purple radiance appeared above the Evil Phoenix True Body; a purple sun tore through the clouds. The moment this purple sun emerged, the power of the Evil Phoenix True Body surged dramatically.
Immediately after, a purple light pillar dozens of meters in diameter burst forth from that purple sun.
Ninth soul skill, Evil Phoenix's Sun!
The origin of this move lay in the fusion of the evil and devouring attributes within the Evil Phoenix martial soul's core, ignited by mental power.
Back when Feng Ling had first entered the Titled Douluo realm, she could not even use this powerful hundred-thousand-year soul skill. It was only after breaking through to Super Douluo that she fully grasped its true essence.
The power of this strike was already enough to threaten powerhouses on the level of Zhongli Wu and Du Busi.
Facing Feng Ling, Gold Body Douluo also unleashed his martial soul true body. Unlike Du Busi and Silver Bone Douluo's martial soul true bodies, Gold Body Douluo himself did not fully merge into his martial soul true body. Instead, behind him appeared a golden dharma idol that seemed to stand eternally between heaven and earth.
The clearest part of this golden dharma idol was the torso; the limbs and the head that reached into the clouds were blurred light and shadow.
His hundred-thousand-year blood-red ninth soul ring also lit up.
A ferocious aura overflowed from the soul ring. Behind Gold Body Douluo, who stood at the center of the golden dharma idol, a dark-golden giant bear over fifteen meters tall quietly appeared.
It was unmistakably the form of a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear.
Gold Body Douluo's ninth soul ring had come from a hundred-thousand-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear. Back then, the Body Sect had hunted that hundred-thousand-year Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear in the Star Dou Great Forest, which had truly enraged the beings in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Especially that Bear Lord.
The dark-golden giant bear seemed to melt into a dark-golden liquid and merge into Gold Body Douluo's golden dharma idol. The golden dharma idol clearly gained an additional layer of dark-golden radiance.
Ninth soul skill, Indestructible Golden Body!
And at that moment, a crystalline purplish-gold light shot through the air. The terrifying lightning-attribute energy fluctuations within it caused a clear black rift to appear in space. It then ruthlessly struck the Evil Phoenix True Body.
In the distance, Xu Zihuang stood atop the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's head, gripping a purplish-gold vine in his hand as he watched this side.
What he had used was the new soul skill he had comprehended after the Thunder Hell Vine broke through its hundred-thousand-year bottleneck and awakened the Thunder God bloodline within his body, Thunder God's Whip. It combined attack and control, and even possessed effects of space-time power.
Sure enough, Feng Ling was affected by the Thunder God's Whip. Almost instantly, her Evil Phoenix True Body was invaded by purplish-gold lightning; cracks of purplish-gold appeared across its surface, and her form briefly froze.
Seizing the opportunity, Gold Body Douluo shifted from defense to offense. The golden dharma idol behind him slammed downward with a palm. The massive humanoid hand erupted with five dark-golden terrorclaws each over a hundred meters long, instantly tearing Feng Ling's Evil Phoenix True Body to shreds.
Darkgolden Terrorclaw!
However, Gold Body Douluo's Darkgolden Terrorclaw did not come from a palm-bone external soul bone dropped by a Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear; it was not a complete true Darkgolden Terrorclaw. Still, with his cultivation level, the might he displayed was astonishing enough.
With Evil Phoenix's Sun forcibly interrupted, Feng Ling reverted to her original form, her face deathly pale. Her entire body was enveloped by the massive dark-golden blade shadows. Even the black robe over her chest was torn, revealing originally fair and delicate skin now marred with patches of charred black. This was the effect of Xu Zihuang's Thunder God's Whip; because it involved space-time power, it possessed a certain degree of defense-ignoring capability.
But now, Feng Ling, who could barely take care of herself, had no time to seek revenge against Xu Zihuang, who had guided the shift in the situation.
"Little Feng!"
This one-sided situation finally made Zhongli Wu unable to sit still any longer. He drove the Bone Dragon King to rush to this battlefield. Behind the Bone Dragon King, the sky had turned cyan and red.
Balls of blue flame meteors blocked Gold Body Douluo's Darkgolden Terrorclaw for Feng Ling. The magnificent aura filled the air within a hundred meters with the smell of scorching.
Wind fueled the fire. Thanks to the Silver Dragon King's favor, the Bone Dragon King possessed attributes approaching the extremes in both wind and fire. These blue flame meteors combined the two attributes, carrying a terrifying pressure that made breathing difficult.
And closely following Zhongli Wu was Du Busi. The current Du Busi looked drastically different. Though he still maintained the form of a hundred-meter giant, his entire body now shone with brilliant golden light.
This was precisely the ability of his golden-level secondary awakening of the body martial soul.
"Zhongli, you little brat, where did that arrogant attitude of yours go earlier?! Hahahahahahaha!" Du Busi's wild laughter exploded in the sky like thunder.
Behind him were Xu Zihuang, Silver Bone Douluo, Condensed Blood Douluo, and Lang Ya, who had rushed over. Together with Du Busi and Gold Body Douluo, the six of them formed an encirclement around Zhongli Wu and Feng Ling.
Zhongli Wu glared at Xu Zihuang with boundless hatred—this mastermind who had dominated the entire situation.
If this child were not eliminated, he would surely become a grave threat to their Holy Spirit Cult. In his heart, fear was even beginning to sprout.
For Yu Tianhuang to possess such strength at this age, what would happen when he broke through to Soul Douluo or Titled Douluo? Who in their Holy Cult could stop him?
His chest heaved violently. Zhongli Wu's gaze shifted to Du Busi, as if endless rage were brewing within.
"Du Busi, do you truly intend to fight my Cult to the death?!"
"Zhongli, you little brat, what nonsense are you spouting to this old man?! When you followed the Sun Moon Empire to invade our Heavenly Soul Empire's territory and slaughtered our Heavenly Soul Empire's people, we were already sworn to death!" Du Busi laughed in extreme anger.
"Today, this old man will spare no cost, even if it severely damages my vitality, to exterminate you two dogs! Body Sect members, all of you, charge!"
With a strange cry from Du Busi, he charged straight at Zhongli Wu.
"Watch closely! This is how golden-level secondary awakening of the body martial soul is used!"
Du Busi's last sentence was clearly directed at Xu Zihuang. In truth, he didn't need to remind him; Xu Zihuang was already using his Golden Pupils martial soul to observe the changes when Du Busi activated his golden-level secondary awakening of the body martial soul.
Gold Body Douluo and the others understood tacitly and prepared to surround and attack Feng Ling. The battle was about to erupt.
Protecting Feng Ling, Zhongli Wu's expression flickered between light and dark. He had just briefly checked Feng Ling's condition with his soul power; the situation was not optimistic. Though Feng Ling still had some fighting strength left, she had suffered severe internal injuries and likely could not hold on much longer.
And Du Busi, who was consuming massive amounts of life force to use his golden-level secondary awakening of the body martial soul, now possessed combat power comparable to a Limit Douluo. If Du Busi truly fought him to the death, he would also face enormous pressure. The best outcome would be mutual destruction.
As for Feng Ling's side, she probably could not withstand the siege of the other Body Sect members and would most likely fall here. Once that happened, under the Body Sect's combined assault, it would be nearly impossible for him to escape.
"Body Sect! What a Body Sect!"
Zhongli Wu could no longer suppress the fury in his heart. He roared like a madman.
"Today's events, this Cult Leader has remembered!"
A cold glint flashed through Zhongli Wu's eyes. Beneath him, the pitch-black bones of the Bone Dragon King suddenly erupted with dazzling cyan and red light.
"All of you, die for me!"
Space shook and cracked. Compared to Xu Zihuang's earlier Dark Demon Evil Thunder, the energy fluctuations emanating from the Bone Dragon King were even more terrifying. It felt as though heaven and earth themselves were about to collapse.
Driven to desperation, Zhongli Wu chose to self-detonate his natal beast spirit. Yet before he could escape with Feng Ling, he completely failed to see the result he had hoped for.
Golden pupil light shadows appeared out of thin air. Xu Zihuang and the others' figures all vanished from their original positions.
Especially Du Busi, whose gaze toward Zhongli Wu was filled with mockery. He let out a sinister, sarcastic chuckle.
Pfft—
Whether from the backlash of self-detonating his natal beast spirit or from rage attacking his heart, Zhongli Wu could not stop a mouthful of blood from gushing out.
The world-destroying cyan-red light sphere instantly engulfed the mountain range that stretched nearly a hundred li.
Struggling to crawl out from within the mountain, Scorpion Tiger Douluo Zhang Peng saw this scene, and his face turned ashen with utter despair.
And his consciousness paused at this moment.
