Douluo Unrivaled: The Beginning Materializes the Black Abyss and White Flowers

Chapter 196 Hei Jinxi (Two-part chapter combined)

"Boom, boom, boom!" As hail and icy arrows rained down, the soul masters from various academies used their abilities to defend themselves.

For a time, explosions rang out one after another, incessantly.

At the same time, the cold air spread rapidly, turning an area of ​​several hundred meters in the blink of an eye into a frozen wasteland.

Such a terrifying ice-attribute soul skill caused great suffering to people from various academies.

In order to protect the students with lower cultivation levels, the stronger Soul Masters had no choice but to take the attack of the extreme ice head-on.

The only saving grace was that the attacks were relatively scattered, and most of them were blocked by the strong. Only a few unlucky ones were frozen into ice sculptures, their fate left to chance.

"A Soul Skill attack at the level of a Contra Douluo, and from such a distance... Could this be the core of this tainted spot?"

Bai Baoshan, with the enormous Heavenly Star Furnace atop his head, blocked some of the ice arrows and spoke with a solemn expression.

Such a long-range attack still possesses such great power; the person who unleashed the soul skill must be at least a Soul Douluo-level powerhouse.

"It seems this is the place. We must finish this quickly and set off!" Meng Shenji made a decisive decision, instantly channeling his martial spirit, and wisps of black energy surged from his body.

His martial soul is the Black Demon, which belongs to the mental control type of martial soul.

However, his martial spirit ability was useless against these mindless black monsters, and he was completely unable to control them.

Left with no other choice, he could only rely on his powerful soul force to engage in the battle.

After all, his ability is to pull his opponents into a dream, but only if the opponent has the ability to dream, and these mindless black monsters obviously do not have this function.

The three academic committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy led the charge into the depths of the valley, and the strong students from other academies naturally did not miss this opportunity and followed closely behind.

Up to this point, none of the three titled Douluo present had made a move, but with them in charge, everyone felt confident and fearless, and they advanced toward the core of the filth point without hesitation.

"This, this is...!" When Lu Jingming, Xue Qinghe and the others arrived at the core valley, they saw Meng Shenji and the others standing there dumbfounded, their faces full of shock.

Following Meng Shenji and the others' gaze, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

On the wide valley plain, countless black-armored soldiers, each wielding a different soul-guided device, roamed freely.

At a rough estimate, there are at least several thousand of them.

In this dimly lit valley, thousands of scarlet eyes gleamed with an eerie light, sending chills down the spines of everyone present.

The sheer number of black-armored soldiers, each with a cultivation level above Soul Venerable, caused even Dugu Bo to frown deeply upon seeing them.

If these black-armored soldiers were alive, he could have slaughtered them all by himself, given his abilities.

After all, his abilities are naturally suited to dealing with the weak, and he is least afraid of being surrounded and attacked by people weaker than himself.

However, these black-armored soldiers were all formed from negative energy and were completely unafraid of his poison.

"That's... Auntie?" Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others had been searching for Shui Ming'er's figure, and soon they saw a human-shaped ice sculpture.

Looking at the ice sculpture, which was completely blackened by the black energy, and the figure within it could be vaguely discerned, Shui Bing'er recognized it at a glance as their aunt, Shui Ming'er.

"Ming'er!" Fire Lion and Wind Shadow also saw Shui Ming'er's ice sculpture. Their faces turned pale instantly, their fists clenched unconsciously, and their faces became somewhat ferocious with anger.

Even the most obtuse person could see that Shui Ming'er's chances of survival were almost zero, and that she had most likely been corrupted by negative energy and transformed into a black qi monster.

As expected, as a large number of intelligent life forms approached, the vast majority of the black-armored soldiers surged towards Bai Baoshan and his group like a tide.

The black ice crystal that had sealed Shui Ming'er shattered with a "crack," revealing Shui Ming'er with a face as pale as paper and her cheeks covered in black lines.

Shui Ming'er's long hair, which was originally like blue silk, has now turned completely black.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and those eyes, which were once as bright as sapphires, had now turned into endless blackness, empty and lifeless, without the slightest luster, which was terrifying.

Seven spirit rings shone on her body, and with a shrill cry, Shui Ming'er directly activated her Martial Soul True Form, transforming into a Water Condensation Flying Phoenix that was over ten meters long.

Looking at the pitch-black Water Phoenix, Shui Bing'er, Shui Yue'er, and the others were filled with grief, while Huo Shi and Feng Ying's faces were a mixture of anger and pain.

The battle broke out instantly. Although there were many black-armored soldiers, the Soul Masters who came here were no ordinary people either. There were more than ten Soul Saints and three Soul Douluos, including Meng Shenji.

The massive Celestial Furnace crashed down like a meteorite, creating a huge crater in the ground, and more than a dozen black-armored soldiers instantly turned into black mist and dissipated.

The azure vines swiftly rose from the ground, transforming into sharp spears that instantly wiped out the black-armored soldiers within a hundred-meter radius.

With the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo, dealing with these black-armored soldiers whose highest cultivation level was no more than Soul King was almost like slaughtering them.

If these black-armored soldiers could cooperate with each other and form a soul-guided formation, they might pose a threat to Meng Shenji, Zhilin, and the others.

However, such mindless and uncoordinated attacks pose no real threat to these powerful individuals.

This is the biggest flaw of negative energy monsters: they lack cooperation and intelligence, and their minds are filled only with the instinct to kill.

The black Water Phoenix clashed fiercely with the giant Flame Lion, its emerald blades flashing and blocking the Water Phoenix's deadly attacks several times.

Fire Lion and Wind Shadow team up to fight against the corrupted Water Ming'er. Unlike Fire Lion and Wind Shadow, who are hesitant to kill, the corrupted Water Ming'er is ruthless and deadly in every move, with only killing intent and the instinct for destruction in her eyes.

For a time, the two Soul Saints were suppressed and forced to retreat.

"Old monster, aren't you going to make a move?" The blue silver grass vines spread rapidly, transforming into a sturdy cage that firmly bound the approaching black-armored soldiers.

Tang San turned his gaze to Dugu Bo and shouted loudly.

"Alright, let's end this battle sooner. Yan Yan, you wait here while Grandpa goes to deal with that core monster and see if we can get any good loot."

Dugu Bo patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder beside him and said with a confident expression.

"Yes, Grandpa, you have to be careful."

Dugu Yan was full of confidence in her grandfather's abilities, after all, he was her idol since childhood and her spiritual pillar.

"The old poisoner has finally made his move."

Sensing the immense fluctuations of soul power, and watching the green light streak across the sky and pierce through layers of black-armored soldiers, Sword Douluo narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.

"Hmm, it's good to let Poison Douluo test the waters first. I have a feeling something's not quite right." Ning Fengzhi's gaze remained fixed on Ning Rongrong, watching her unleash the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, multitasking by simultaneously casting amplifying soul skills for multiple teammates. A look of satisfaction appeared on his face.

Ning Rongrong has indeed grown a lot. Her former spoiled nature has dissipated considerably, and her strength is now vastly different from before.

Although Shrek Academy has many problems, he at least believes that sending Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy to study is a wise choice.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already made a huge profit just from Ning Rongrong's martial soul evolution.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the valley, followed by a tremendous dragon's roar.

A platinum-gold dragon, with a green orb of light in its mouth, burst forth from the depths of the valley.

"That's... how is that possible!" When they saw the true form of the green orb in the mouth of the platinum dragon, everyone's expression changed drastically, revealing an incredulous look.

Dugu Bo was radiating green soul power, his hands desperately bracing against the dragon's fangs, trying his best to avoid being bitten to pieces by the giant dragon.

"Boom!" A small hill was instantly reduced to dust in the intense explosion. The light from the explosion illuminated the entire valley, allowing everyone to clearly see a white-haired girl with pigtails floating silently in the air above the valley.

The girl possessed an unparalleled beauty that could topple kingdoms, yet the cracks on her face added a kind of eerie and decadent beauty to her.

A green light shot into the sky, and Dugu Bo's clothes fluttered as he rushed towards the heavens. His eyes were fixed on Hei Jinxi opposite him, and he said with an extremely ugly expression, "Soul Emperor? What a joke!"

At this moment, everyone stared in shock at the six spirit rings on the white-haired girl's body: two purple, three black, and one red.

"A 100,000-year soul ring? How is that possible?!"

It should be noted that none of the three Title Douluos present possessed a 100,000-year soul ring.

In this era, a 100,000-year spirit ring is practically a legendary existence, with only a very few titled Douluo having the chance to possess it.

Having a 100,000-year soul ring means having the powerful ability to fight beyond one's level.

"Die!" Even though he was caught off guard and the Soul Emperor possessed a 100,000-year Soul Ring, Dugu Bo still felt humiliated and his face turned extremely ugly after being repelled by a Soul Emperor.

Especially with so many people watching, and his most beloved granddaughter watching from below!
Enraged, Dugu Bo no longer held back, unleashing a wave of soul power at the level of a Title Douluo. The phantom of the Azure Serpent King rapidly condensed in the sky, spitting out a beam of emerald light at Hei Jinxi.

Black mist swirled around Hei Jinxi, yet it couldn't conceal the golden holy light emanating from her. Against the backdrop of these two contradictory forces—holy and evil, light and darkness—Lu Jingming momentarily found Hei Jinxi more captivating than Jinxi herself!

The phantom of the Time Dragon slowly emerged, and ripples of light particles spread out like waves, while the ultimate radiance rapidly condensed and compressed.

Under the influence of the power of time, the charging process is skipped, and the attack reaches its limit instantly.

The golden and green light collided violently, illuminating the entire sky in two colors: gold and green.

"Incredibly, it's a tie!" Ning Fengzhi and the others all showed expressions of shock.

Although Dugu Bo is not good at direct combat, he is arguably the weakest in terms of direct combat ability among the Title Douluo.

However, according to what Sword Douluo said before, Dugu Bo should have made a breakthrough.

Even so, Dugu Bo actually managed to fight to a draw against a Soul Emperor?
Only Lu Jingming understood that this was due to Jin Xi's ability to manipulate time.

She made Tian Su Ting Guang, who originally needed to accumulate and compress his strength for at least a minute to reach his peak, reach his peak state in an instant.

In addition, given the attributes of Jinxi's Ultimate Light, it's quite normal that this attack is comparable to that of a Title Douluo.

Poison Douluo's poison had no effect on Hei Jinxi, and since he was not a power-attack type Soul Master, his attack power was relatively weak. This situation was exactly what Lu Jingming had expected.

But others don't think so. They don't understand what extreme attributes are, since this concept doesn't exist in this era.

All they knew was that a Soul Emperor could actually rival a Title Douluo.

Therefore, their gazes toward Hei Jinxi were filled with shock and fear, while their gazes toward Dugu Bo were quite strange.

The two soul skills clashed fiercely, and in an instant, a strong energy fluctuation surged and erupted. The shock wave swept in all directions like a raging tide. The black mist that had originally covered the sky and valley like a gloom was instantly dispelled without a trace under the impact of this powerful force.

The warm sunlight pierced through the clouds like a sharp sword, scattering into the valley. At this moment, everything in the valley was presented to everyone without reservation.

"That is?"

What attracts everyone's attention most at this moment is not the confrontation between Dugu Bo and Hei Jinxi high in the sky, but a black throne that suddenly appears in everyone's sight as the black mist dissipates and the sunlight shines through.

On the black throne sat a handsome young man with white hair.

His eyes were closed, and he gently propped his cheek with one hand, as if he were dozing. He seemed completely unconcerned about the arrival of numerous enemies, displaying a leisurely and arrogant demeanor.

Moreover, several figures also stood beneath the Black Throne.

The aura emanating from them was comparable to that of Hei Jinxi, who was confronting Dugu Bo in the sky, and every breath of their aura was terrifying.

"Brother Lu!" Xue Qinghe's pupils contracted sharply when he saw the white-haired youth on the black throne, as if he had seen something unbelievable. He then turned to look at Lu Jingming beside him with a look of astonishment.

"Young Master Lu, this!" Xue Ke also opened her cute little mouth wide in surprise, her eyes looking back and forth between the boy beside her and the white-haired boy on the black throne, her eyes filled with disbelief.

No matter how you look at it, apart from the cracks on their faces, the two are practically identical!
“Isn’t it interesting!” Lu Jingming blinked, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"It seems that the core of this filth spot was created based on you, young friend!" Ning Fengzhi quickly regained his composure after a brief moment of surprise.

Although such things are extremely rare, even a black aura monster based on Sword Douluo has appeared in the Star Luo Empire, so it is not incomprehensible that a monster based on other people would appear.

However, Ning Fengzhi's gaze toward Lu Jingming still concealed an undisguised look of surprise and doubt.

Since the black aura monster is modeled after Lu Jingming, then Lu Jingming's strength is truly not to be underestimated!
Hei Jinxi is only a Soul Emperor, yet she can fight Dugu Bo. If that's the case, how terrifying must Hei Lu Jingming, the core of the Filth Point, be in terms of true strength?
In fact, Lu Jingming himself was also a little curious, and he really wanted to know just how strong that Black Lu Jingming really was.

Since it is based on his memories, Hei Lu Jingming will most likely also possess the abilities he has.

Thinking of this, Lu Jingming's expression became somewhat strange.

He knew his own abilities better than anyone. With the Black Abyss White Flower, his attack power was top-notch, and his survivability was also excellent, making him the perfect candidate to be the final boss.

It can attack, defend, heal, and has powerful control abilities; it's almost omnipotent.

Although Sword Douluo has the ability to defeat him, it is almost impossible for him to kill him completely.

In addition, there are Hei Sanyueqi, Hei Jinxi, Hei Liuying and others, especially that Hei Zhigeng. Just thinking about it gives Lu Jingming a headache.

Judging from the current situation, he doesn't even have the confidence to solo this dungeon without teammates!
Therefore, Lu Jingming did not have a high opinion of this hastily assembled strategy team.

Not only Ning Fengzhi and others, but also Tang San, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu and others discovered this amazing "blind spot" and turned around in surprise to look at Lu Jingming, who had been at the back of the group with Ning Fengzhi and Xue Qinghe.

Many people do not know Lu Jingming, but he has always been accompanied by the Crown Prince, the Princess, and the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which has long aroused everyone's curiosity.

However, at this moment, no one had time to resolve their curiosity and doubts.

Six soul rings—two purple, three black, and one red—appeared on Hei Sanyueqi's body. The chilling aura around him rapidly compressed and condensed. In the blink of an eye, an icy arrow, exuding a cold aura and accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, shot straight towards Bai Baoshan, one of the three teaching committee members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, like a meteor.

Everyone felt the air around them instantly drop to freezing point. Then, a beam of ice-blue light flashed by like lightning, followed by the belated sonic boom.

Bai Baoshan reacted extremely quickly. The moment he sensed the deadly danger, he unhesitatingly released his Martial Soul, the Heavenly Star Furnace, to shield himself from it.

But then, he felt as if a meteorite had crashed into the Heavenly Star Furnace. A terrifying impact surged forth, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the mountain wall behind him.

The next moment, before he could react, the terrifying chill spread like a tide, and his body and soul power seemed to be frozen in an instant.

Meng Shenji and Zhilin only felt a chilling aura brush past them. The next second, they saw Bai Baoshan, not far away, being slammed into the mountainside with a loud bang.

When they hurriedly turned around, what came into view was a crystal-clear iceberg, and Bai Baoshan's figure holding the Heavenly Star Furnace was frozen in the iceberg.

"Gulp!" Everyone who witnessed this scene subconsciously swallowed, their hearts filled with fear.

Some people began to intentionally or unintentionally shield their teammates from other colleges, as if this would give them a sense of security.

Some people were so frightened that they turned and ran away. They had only come to join in the fun and maybe pick up some bargains, but they didn't want to die for nothing.

"Please, Sect Master Ning, lend a hand!" Meng Shenji's face turned ashen, his expression filled with terror. He quickly turned and called out loudly to Ning Fengzhi.

"Teacher!" Xue Qinghe's face also turned extremely ugly instantly. The three education committee members were his confidants, and if they were to be killed here, it would undoubtedly be a huge loss for him.

Before anyone could react further, another silver-haired girl slowly stepped into the void.

She was enveloped in flames that had turned blackish-red due to the black energy. The next moment, a tall mecha covered in blackish-red patterns and burning with blackish-red flames burst forth with astonishing speed and instantly arrived in front of Meng Shenji.

She also had six spirit rings shining on her body: two purple, three black, and one red. Seeing this, everyone felt numb.

"Uncle Bone!" Ning Fengzhi's expression changed drastically. Bai Baoshan's life or death was uncertain, and Ruomeng Shenji was in danger again. He really couldn't explain to Xue Qinghe and Emperor Xue Ye.

Failing to provide assistance would severely damage the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Boom!" In an instant, towering flames erupted like a volcanic eruption, and the girl threw a punch with terrifying power. The void seemed unable to bear the weight and made a "crack" sound.

Just as Meng Shenji was about to be hit by the punch, he gritted his teeth and was about to use his trump card to save his life when a thin figure emerged from the void like a ghost, and a bone shield instantly blocked his way.

As fists and shields clashed, a circular shockwave spread rapidly outwards like ripples. Extremely hot flames suddenly erupted, instantly igniting the surrounding air and forming a huge black and red fireball, as if a small sun had been created out of thin air above the valley, its light dazzling and eye-catching.

With a huge roar from the bone dragon phantom, Black Firefly's figure flew back like a cannonball. After landing, it slid backwards for hundreds of meters, leaving two deep ravines.

Bone Douluo stared grimly at the burns on his hands. He was a peak level 95 Douluo, yet he had been burned in a battle with a Soul Emperor.

Although the injury wasn't even a minor one, he finally understood how Dugu Bo had felt before.

Although Bone Douluo's hand injury was minor, those who had been closely watching the battle still noticed it keenly.

"Hiss!" Even Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but gasp when he saw this.

He knew how powerful Bone Douluo's defense was. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's fame was inseparable from the two super strongmen, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

One possesses the strongest attack, and the other has the strongest defense. Together, they established the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's dominant position in the world of Soul Masters.

But now, even a super Douluo like Bone Douluo, who is good at defense, has had his defenses breached. If it were a fragile Soul Master like Meng Shenji, whose defense is relatively weak, that punch would probably have burned him to ashes on the spot if it had hit him head-on.

"Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty!"

Meng Shenji looked relieved to have survived a disaster. He wasn't sure if his trump card could withstand that punch, but he was certain that if that punch had landed on him, he would have had no chance of survival and would have been burned to ashes on the spot.
