Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 805 Starlight, Star God, Sword God!

"It's over, Soul Eater!"

The Dark Blood Demon let out a low growl, a glint of greed and ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

Looking at Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi, who were already in a weakened state, his first soul ring suddenly lit up, and the huge blood demon vengeful spirit behind him made a movement of lifting its upper body backward, as if an invisible giant mouth was opening in the void.

In an instant, an overwhelming suction force erupted, forming a small black hole, and the surrounding air was pulled apart, making a wailing sound.

Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi felt a chill run down their spines, their blood and qi surging violently within them, and even their souls seemed to be pulled away from their bodies by this suction force. A fear originating from the very source of life instantly seized their minds.

Don't underestimate the "Soul Devouring" soul skill just because it's only the Dark Blood Demon's first soul skill. It's the foundation of his cultivation and the core of his combat power.

Whether used to weaken opponents and plunder life force in fierce battles, or to devour souls and strengthen oneself during daily cultivation, this soul skill is the most crucial of all, and it has been invincible in past encounters.

At this moment, the two women had been greatly weakened by the power of the curse. He used "Soul Devouring" to take this opportunity to directly devour their souls and seize these two powerful forces for himself.

However, how could the others present stand idly by?

Sixth Soul Skill: Absolute Star Curtain!

Xu Xiaoyan's clear, cold voice rang out, and the Star Staff Martial Soul appeared in her hand. Five black, one red, and three orange-gold, a total of nine soul rings, gently pulsed around the Star Staff, emitting distinct layers of soul power fluctuations.

In the next instant, two beams of starlight, as condensed as solid, fell from the sky, precisely enveloping Bai Xiuxiu and Lan Fuzi, forming a dazzling and solid light curtain.

The terrifying devouring power emanating from "Soul Devourer" was completely blocked the moment it touched the light barrier, as if it had encountered an insurmountable obstacle.

Not only that, the Dark Blood Demon was even more shocked to discover that the curse he had previously placed on the two women had been quietly stripped away and purified by the starlight, just like ice and snow melting away, leaving not a trace behind.

"What kind of martial spirit is this?!"

The Dark Blood Demon couldn't help but cast a surprised and suspicious glance at Xu Xiaoyan. When he saw her unusual soul ring configuration, his eyes suddenly narrowed.

An orange-gold spirit ring? This means that this seemingly delicate girl has actually absorbed a spirit of a ferocious beast!

Xu Xiaoyan smiled faintly, and in the next instant, starlight lit up around her, like the brightest star in the night sky.

The sky, which was originally shrouded in blood mist and dark clouds, gradually became clear under the starlight. Countless brilliant stars pierced through the haze and shone with dazzling light, which even the pervasive blood mist could not block.

The Dark Blood Demon subconsciously looked up at the sky, a surge of emotion welling up within him. Was this… a change in the celestial phenomena?
Soul Masters who can manipulate celestial phenomena are extremely rare, and whenever they do appear, they possess earth-shattering power.

This little girl, whom he had initially disregarded, not only absorbed the souls of ferocious beasts but also possessed the power to cause celestial anomalies!

After the initial shock, the Dark Blood Demon quickly regained his composure. So what if he absorbed a ferocious beast's soul ring?
Xu Xiaoyan's soul power was only at the Title Douluo level, which was still a huge gap compared to his Limit Douluo level. Ultimately, the advantage was still on his side.

"We can't drag this out any longer, we must finish this quickly! Seventh Soul Skill: Blood Demon True Form!"

Blood mist surged around the Dark Blood Demon, its form gradually blurring and merging with the silhouette of the vengeful spirit behind it. Clearly, it was about to unleash its Martial Soul True Body, maximizing its combat power.

"A Realm of Brilliant Starlight!"

However, Xu Xiaoyan was faster. The orange-gold spirit ring representing her seventh spirit skill suddenly lit up, and a total of one hundred and eight dazzling starlight beams instantly appeared in the night sky, like a vast star net that completely enveloped the area.

"Starlight, freeze!"

The stars in the sky suddenly became incredibly bright, and a beam of starlight, condensed to its utmost, pierced the sky and descended with lightning speed.

The speed of light is faster than we can imagine.

Even the most powerful agility-type Soul Master can only exceed the speed of sound at most, but compared to light, it is undoubtedly insignificant.

The Dark Blood Demon felt his whole body stiffen. His body, which was originally fusing into a ethereal form, suddenly solidified. The execution of his Martial Soul True Body was abruptly interrupted!

“Absolutely true!” The Dark Blood Demon’s gaze darkened. Years of combat experience allowed him to instantly discern the unique nature of Xu Xiaoyan’s soul skill.

With his cultivation level, even if his Martial Soul True Body was interrupted, he would not suffer a backlash. However, the feeling of his body being forcibly controlled made him extremely uncomfortable, as if his own power was imprisoned by invisible shackles.

The most terrifying aspect of Xu Xiaoyan's Star Staff Martial Soul lies in its "absolutely true" characteristic—once hit by a Soul Skill, no matter how strong the opponent's resistance or how high their cultivation level, they will definitely be forcibly controlled.

With Xu Xiaoyan's current strength, there are only two ways to break free from control: either reach god-level strength to forcibly break free, or dodge in advance.

"Kill her first!"

The Dark Blood Demon instantly changed its target, making Xu Xiaoyan its primary objective.

A control-type Soul Master with absolute authority is too troublesome on the battlefield. If you don't eliminate her first, who knows when she might use a sneak attack to disrupt your plans.

"Soul Devouring Frenzy!"

Suddenly, the vengeful spirit behind him split into twelve equally tall and ferocious vengeful spirit clones. Then, they all turned around and aimed at Xu Xiaoyan's location, spewing thick blood mist from their mouths, clearly intending to unleash all the power of their curse upon her.

However, the Dark Blood Demon quickly noticed the anomaly.

Faced with his surging curse power, the pretty girl in front of him always had a faint smile on her face, her expression calm and composed. She didn't even frown, as if the curse power that was enough to erode the soul was nothing more than a gentle breeze to her.

This made his heart tighten immediately.

Does she have some secret method to break the curse?

Just as his mind raced, a star in the sky suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless streams of light that scattered in all directions.

"Star Destroyer Divine Light!"

Immediately afterward, as Xu Xiaoyan's fifth spirit ring lit up, a starlight even more dazzling than before suddenly fell, pointing directly at the Dark Blood Demon.

The Dark Blood Demon naturally sensed the strangeness of this starlight and dared not be negligent in the slightest. He hurriedly controlled his twelve vengeful spirit clones to stand in front of him, trying to block the starlight.

However, this starlight was completely different from the previous light of control. At the moment it fell, the surrounding space seemed to be twisted and folded by an invisible hand, forming an independent domain.

The vengeful spirit clones disintegrated almost the instant they came into contact with the starlight, unable to form an effective defense.

The starlight fell on the Dark Blood Demon without any obstruction. He felt a tightness all over his body, and in the next instant, all the surrounding scenery disappeared, plunging him into pure darkness.

There was no light, no energy elements, not even a trace of air. It was as if, in that instant, he had been thrown into the abyss of the universe, finding himself in an absolute vacuum.

"No, this is a vacuum!"

The Dark Blood Demon was, after all, a Limit Douluo, and had a profound understanding of spatial power. After a little thought, he understood the characteristics of this soul skill.

Forcibly pulling an opponent into a vacuum environment, making them unable to breathe or mobilize external energy, thereby consuming their soul power and life force, is truly a cunning and ingenious method.

But precisely because of this, his killing intent only intensified: "The combination of starlight and spatial power can actually simulate a vacuum environment to wear down the opponent... This little girl's talent is truly terrifying. If her cultivation improves, she will surely become a major threat to the Holy Sect in the future. I absolutely cannot let her leave alive today!"

To the outside world, the scene they witnessed was even more shocking—a beam of starlight fell, and the Dark Blood Demon vanished into thin air, without a trace, as if it had never existed.

What's happening here?
Bai Xiuxiu, Wu Siduo, and others closely associated with Xu Xiaoyan were all stunned by what they saw. Xiaoyan… she's actually become this strong?

In fact, starting with her sixth spirit ring, Xu Xiaoyan received sacrifices from numerous immortal herbs and spirit beasts, which solidified her foundation to an incredibly strong level. Her spirit also completely shed its original ice attribute, evolving into a pure star staff spirit, its power surpassing even its former glory.

Shortly after Nan Fusheng and his group arrived in Mingdu, Xu Xiaoyan successfully reached the Title Douluo realm and even gave herself a title she liked very much: Starry Sky.

Starry Sky Douluo Xu Xiaoyan! Although she does not yet possess a four-word battle armor, thanks to the special nature of her Star Staff Martial Soul, she is fully confident in defeating even ordinary Super Douluo.
Even when facing a Limit Douluo, she can hold him off for a very long time.

After becoming a Starry Sky Douluo, her strength increased by leaps and bounds, and her control reached an unparalleled level. The alternation of day and night was almost entirely within her control.

That starlight just now was her fifth soul skill—Star Annihilation Divine Light!
This is an incredibly powerful control-type soul skill. At the cost of annihilating the power contained in a star, it instantly draws the opponent into an independent vacuum space, causing them to continuously consume soul power and life force in the vacuum environment. The effect lasts for one minute.

During this time, she can also teleport opponents who have been trapped in the vacuum to any designated location within a hundred meters, demonstrating extremely high tactical flexibility.

Although it's only the fifth soul skill, it's undoubtedly a god-tier skill for control-type soul masters. This is because, besides its absolute certainty, "Star Annihilation Divine Light" has another terrifying aspect—it ignores defense.

No matter how strong the opponent's defensive soul skills or battle armor are, they cannot withstand the force that pulls them into a vacuum.

The 108 starlight beams in the sky are the embodiment of Xu Xiaoyan's seventh soul skill, "Brilliant Starry Sky Domain".

Once the domain is formed, 108 stars will appear in the starry sky. Before all these stars are destroyed, the "Star Annihilation Divine Light" can be used without limit. Each time it is used, a star will fall.

In other words, Xu Xiaoyan can use the "Star Annihilation Divine Light" a total of 108 times.

Before she uses it all 108 times, with the protection of the domain and the power of the stars, there is absolutely no way anyone can harm her.

Even in the heat of battle, she can connect with the stars through her Star Staff Martial Soul, drawing upon the power of the countless stars to replenish her starlight, making her endurance terrifying.

It can be said that with the amplification of "Brilliant Starry Sky Domain" and her fifth soul skill "Star Annihilation Divine Light" alone, Xu Xiaoyan is qualified to control an entire battle.

"Xinglan, get ready."

Xu Xiaoyan's calm voice rang out, her gaze turning to Ye Xinglan beside her. Starlight swirled on her star staff, indicating that she had already made preparations for the next stage.

"it is good."

Ye Xinglan's response was concise and firm. The Star God Sword in her hand vibrated slightly, its clear sound resonating with the heavens and earth. Six black rings and three orange-gold rings, a total of nine spirit rings, slowly rose from beneath her feet, flowing with profound and boundless energy.

On the sword, specks of starlight quietly emerged, echoing the stars in the brilliant starry sky, as if an invisible bond connected them.

"Brilliant starlight!"

Xu Xiaoyan held the Star Staff and gently pointed it at Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword.

In an instant, among the 108 stars in the dazzling starry sky surrounding her, ten more starlight suddenly perished, turning into countless fireflies of starlight, which, as if guided, all flowed into the blade of the Star God Sword.

After absorbing these ten starlight rays, Ye Xinglan's aura surged wildly at a visible speed, and his soul power fluctuations rose layer by layer like a tsunami, instantly breaking through the shackles of the Title Douluo and approaching the peak of the Super Douluo, reaching a level comparable to a level 97 Super Douluo.

This is Starlight Amplification—a special synergy that is not a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but is even better than a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Back in Shrek Academy, Xu Xiaoyan had already discovered that her Star Wheel Ice Staff martial soul could resonate with Ye Xinglan's Star God Sword in a wonderful way.

Of course, this resonance is not a martial soul fusion skill in the traditional sense, but rather stems from the star attribute shared in the martial souls of the two individuals.

When they fight side by side, their martial spirits will resonate subtly due to their shared attributes, stimulating and amplifying each other's power.

Later, after Xu Xiaoyan's martial soul shed its ice attribute and evolved into a pure star staff martial soul, the resonance of this star attribute became even stronger, as if they were born to fight together in this way.

Although this was just a guess in Xu Xiaoyan's mind, she firmly believed in this feeling that originated from her martial soul, so she made this attempt—and the result was obviously successful.

Choosing ten beams of starlight was not Xu Xiaoyan's limit, but rather because Ye Xinglan's body could currently only withstand the infusion of ten beams of starlight. Forcibly increasing the amount would not only fail to amplify the effect, but might also harm him due to energy overload.

Otherwise, with the power of the Brilliant Starry Sky Domain, Ye Xinglan's soul power would only increase even more dramatically.

"Qiang!"

A clear sword cry resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and a golden light, condensed to its extreme, suddenly spread outward from Ye Xinglan's body.

As the halo flickered, the surrounding air distorted violently, and tiny cracks appeared in the space around the Star God Sword, as if it would be torn apart by this unparalleled sword intent at any moment.

Even Gu Yuena, who was intently watching the battle from behind, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and a hint of surprise flash in her eyes at such an incomparably sharp sword intent.

Sword God!

Since the Tianhai City auction incident, Ye Xinglan experienced a life-or-death battle with the evil soul master Tang Sang. In the face of adversity, he comprehended the true meaning of swordsmanship, broke through the bottleneck, and reached the realm of sword god.

The only slight pity is that her three-word battle armor was unfortunately destroyed in the last fierce battle with Tang Sang. To this day, the new battle armor has not yet been forged.

Otherwise, with the amplification of Xu Xiaoyan's dazzling starlight at this moment, her soul power might really be able to infinitely approach the level of the Limit Douluo, unleashing even more terrifying combat power.

Seeing that Ye Xinglan was ready to strike, Xu Xiaoyan pointed her star staff in her direction again, a resolute look flashing in her eyes.

The next instant, a figure wearing a dark red cloak appeared in front of Ye Xinglan without warning. The sluggish feeling brought by the vacuum environment still lingered around him. It was the Dark Blood Demon who had been absorbed into the vacuum by the Star Extinction Divine Light and then accurately teleported here by Xu Xiaoyan.

He was clearly not fully recovered from the effects of the vacuum environment, his eyes showing a hint of surprise and seriousness.

"Starfall!"

Ye Xinglan's eyes were sharp as swords. She let out a low shout, and her ninth soul ring suddenly lit up. The orange-gold light was dazzling and pushed her aura to its peak.

In her mind, the scene of her first life-or-death struggle with Tang Sang to protect Nan Fusheng at the Tianhai Auction flashed by—that was the turning point in her sword path, the realization that she had to fight to the death.

Starfall was a strike she condensed with all her will and power, containing a resolute determination to live in the face of death. This was Ye Xinglan's true sword intent, the ultimate swordsmanship she comprehended at the cost of her life.

The moment the words fell, Ye Xinglan's figure moved slightly, and he and his sword seemed to transform into a burning meteor, carrying a world-destroying momentum as they fiercely slashed down at the Dark Blood Demon in front of him.

The Star God Sword cleaved through the sky, leaving behind a dazzling trail of light. Wherever it passed, space trembled violently, as if even heaven and earth were about to be split apart by this sword.

"Blood Demon!"

The Dark Blood Demon was, after all, a veteran evil soul master who had experienced countless life-and-death battles. Even though he had just escaped from the vacuum environment and his consciousness was still a little sluggish, his fighting instincts were already ingrained in his bones.

The instant Ye Xinglan's sword strike reached him, he reacted. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and without hesitation, he manipulated the Blood Demon Wraith behind him, which was closely connected to his own aura, to stand in front of him and try to use the strength of his martial soul to withstand this fatal blow.

"Qiang!"

The sound of metal clashing was deafening, as if two strange stones from outer space were violently colliding in mid-air.

However, Ye Xinglan's seemingly simple sword strike actually embodied all her power and will at this moment—it was the strongest attack unleashed by burning her own soul power, a peak sword strike unleashed by a super Douluo who had already touched the realm of gods, pouring out all her potential.

Even though Ye Xinglan's own soul power level had not yet reached the Limit Douluo level, at this moment, with the double blessing of starlight amplification and the Sword God Intent, the attack power contained in her sword had truly touched the level of Limit Douluo, and with an indestructible sharpness, it slashed down fiercely.

"Wow—"

The dazzling starlight ripped through the sky like a bolt of lightning, carrying a resolute force capable of tearing everything apart. The seemingly ferocious and powerful blood demon vengeful spirit was as fragile as paper before this sword, unable to withstand even the slightest resistance.

Starlight pierced through the vengeful spirit's body and fell unhindered upon the dark blood demon.

The Dark Blood Demon froze on the spot, his eyes still filled with disbelief and astonishment. The next instant, a clear line of blood appeared above his head, spreading down the center of his body to his feet.

From top to bottom, from head to toe, his body was completely cleaved in two by this sword. Blood and internal organs gushed out mixed with black mist, splattering onto the ground and emitting a pungent, fishy stench.
