Douluo Continent: The Twin Sons of the Styx River, Shaking the World and Destroying the Heavens

Chapter 102 Tide
Both spirit beasts used defensive tactics, but to no avail.

Xia Die glanced at the icicles floating in the sky and said...

"Can you stop quietly?"

They clearly ignored the language of the butterfly.

Xia Die, wielding a scythe, drew an elegant yet deadly arc before slamming it heavily into the ground.

The earth trembled violently, and crimson patterns spread wildly from the point where the scythe had struck. Countless spider lilies burst forth from the soil, their petals tinged with an eerie crimson, and a faint, ethereal power of death coiled within their stamens. Sensing the danger, the Ice Crystal Dragon unleashed its Ice Soul Frost, only to see the withering flowers bloom eerily in the icy mist. The death of each petal devoured the ice element, and the once crystalline frost dissipated into a gray, decaying fog.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Withering Flower - The Slumbering One's Grand Burial!" Xia Die's voice was as cold as the Styx River.

Suddenly, the spider lilies burst forth in a blinding red, creating a sea of ​​flowers. Dragon scales and ice armor sizzled under the corrosive power of death, and icy blue blood dripped from the gaps in the scales, instantly rotting the ground wherever it touched. The Ice Crystal Dragon roared in fury, unleashing a torrent of icy spikes, only to have them devoured by the spider lilies' aura; the petals absorbed the attack, becoming even more vibrant.

Finally, the red spider lilies formed a sea of ​​flowers, surrounding the Ice Crystal Dragon and the Thunderous Golden Lion, enveloping everything here.

The once dazzling ice scales became dull and lifeless, and even its proud shield was meaningless under the touch of the sea of ​​flowers—it was the power of death that even the gods could not reverse, the final funeral prepared by the Sleeper for the usurper.

Xia Die didn't use her final burst of power, leaving them powerless to resist.

He simply increased the power of his fifth soul skill slightly. Now that he possesses the power of death, even gods cannot avoid it. The position of the god of death is not his final destination. His goal is to build a star god with the godhood of death.

These two soul beasts are far more powerful than the previous Blazing Sword Dragon. It was 50,000 years old, while these two are nearly 100,000 years old, making them two 90,000-year-old soul beasts.

Xia Die also persuaded them to become the soul spirits of Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen. Their sixth soul rings were all upgraded to 100,000 years, and they could all speak.

Besides obtaining a right arm bone, Xiao Hongchen also possesses extremely powerful skills, including a domain-based Soul Skill and two other skills: Thunder Metal Domain and Thunder Strangulation.

The 100,000-year-old soul skills are Metal Frenzy - Thunder Fury and Metal Storm.

The skill effect is...

Thunder Metal Domain: Centered on the user, a space with a radius of 100 meters is instantly transformed into a thunder metal domain. The sky becomes rolling thunderclouds, and the metallic elements in all matter on the ground are forcibly stripped away, forming countless suspended metal blades and lightning vortexes in the air. Within the domain, the user has absolute control over metal and lightning power; any matter is assimilated into metal, and the power of all metal-based and lightning-based skills is increased by 60%, with reduced cooldown times. At the same time, the enemy's movements are slowed due to the magnetic field disturbance, and the enemy's metal weapons are reversed by the domain's power, possibly even turning against their owner. The domain also continuously absorbs metallic energy within its range, constantly repairing the user's injuries and strengthening their defense, forming a powerful situation that combines offense and defense.

Thunderous Strangle: The user swings their arm forward, unleashing a gigantic chain formed from the fusion of liquid metal and purple lightning. The air twists and distorts wherever the chain passes, instantly pulverizing rocks and vegetation. Once the chain strikes its target, it binds the enemy with the force of lightning, the combined effect of the metal's resilience and the lightning's paralyzing effect making escape impossible.

Immediately afterward, the lightning on the chains surged, transforming into countless tiny lightning blades that pierced the enemy's skin and muscles, creating an electric current that circulated within their body, continuously causing tearing and paralysis. If the enemy struggled, the chains would immediately contract and unleash a devastating lightning explosion, shredding everything within range in a storm of lightning and metal. This skill was not only incredibly lethal but could also bind powerful opponents at crucial moments, creating a fatal opportunity for subsequent attacks.

Metal Frenzy - Thunder Fury: Summons a massive tidal wave of metal fragments that surge towards the enemy. These fragments are imbued with lightning during flight, granting them not only powerful piercing capabilities but also the ability to release high-frequency currents that paralyze enemies. After the attack, the remaining metal fragments hover in the air, forming a persistent metal lightning field that inflicts continuous damage and hinders the movement of any enemies that enter it.

Metal Storm: Unleashes a sweeping metal storm, where metal fragments, amplified by lightning, surge like a raging tide, inflicting continuous cutting and electric shock damage on a wide range of enemies, and causing them to become confused and stunned.

Xiao Hongchen directly reached level 63. Meng Hongchen did not obtain the left arm bone from Xiao Hongchen, but instead obtained the even rarer external soul bone, gaining two soul skills: Extreme Ice Mist and Eternal Night Ice Meteor.

Extreme Ice Mist: Releases a large amount of mist infused with frigid poison. The mist rapidly spreads, forming a prison woven from poisonous fog and ice. Enemies entering the prison will not only have their movements restricted due to the low temperature, but the inhaled frigid mist will also continuously damage their respiratory system and soul power circulation system. The frigid poison in the mist adheres to the enemy's body surface, slowly corroding the skin, and simultaneously penetrates the body, causing the enemy's blood to gradually coagulate, and their soul power to become disordered due to the contamination of the frigid poison. Every struggle of the enemy trapped in the prison will allow the frigid poison to penetrate further.

Eternal Night Icefall: Summons a shower of ice buds, each containing enough chill to freeze a lake. Upon impact, the buds explode, freezing everything and leaving behind a biting mist of icy poison that will corrode any enemies caught in it. The mist covers a vast area, capable of instantly altering the course of a battle.

And their entire team was the first to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring.

However, after Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen absorbed their spirit rings, they went to sleep without being disturbed. Now, three people have obtained their spirit rings.

Now only Ling Luochen, Baili Chen, Wang Dong'er, and Xiao Xiao remain.

The next morning, Xiao Hongchen started yelling loudly, claiming to be the best in the world, and Meng Hongchen pinched his ear again.

Can't you be serious for once? Why don't you have a fight with Sister Adie?

Xiao Hongchen deflated upon hearing this.

"Fight Xia Die? What a joke! She's no ordinary Soul Saint. Even I wouldn't be a match for her now." "Alright, enough talk. Let's finish breakfast and get going. We only need four more to finish."

"understood."

After walking for a while, they encountered two ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Both were born in the year 10,000; one was of the Light attribute, and the other of the Power attribute.

Suitable for Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong'er.

They are the Dawn-Radiant Moth and the Mountain-Shaking Giant Rhinoceros.

The Dawn-Radiant Corona Moth is even larger than the Radiant Dream Beetle encountered by the Strong Woman, with a wingspan of up to five meters, resembling a flowing halo of sunlight. Its wings are edged with golden light, covered with nebula-like patterns, and a miniature "sun" floats in its center, radiating a soft yet intense light. Its body is as if enveloped in liquid light, crystal clear, revealing a luminous core flowing within. Its head has three pairs of luminous tentacles, the ends of which intertwine to form a crown-like shape, surrounded by tiny particles of light, like a shimmering veil of light.

The Giant Rhinoceros, as massive as a hill, exceeds ten meters in length. Its entire body is covered in thick, black horn armor, its surface covered with raised patterns resembling mountain ranges, giving it a rugged and sturdy appearance. Three enormous horns grow from its head; the central horn is a full two meters long, gleaming with a metallic sheen, while the two secondary horns on either side are spiral-shaped. Its limbs are as thick as stone pillars, each step causing the ground to tremble, and it trails a short tail covered in sharp spikes. Its eyes are bloodshot, revealing an aura of rage and ferocity.

Both of these soul beasts are ten thousand years old, which is relatively weak. Given Wang Dong'er and Xiao Xiao's current physical condition, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring is no problem for them.

This time, instead of losing a soul bone, I first became a soul spirit and then absorbed a soul ring.

On the other side, in the land of the god of death.

"Is it appropriate for a supreme god to stay in this place?" a man said in a playful voice.

"Tide, what are you doing here?" the God of Death said coldly.

The voice was devoid of any warmth, carrying a chilling killing intent.

"I didn't come here for anything, just to let you know that if you stay here too long, don't forget your identity. There's no need for you to stay in such a weak plane."

"Tide, this is none of your business. I'll go back. Also, go back and tell those people not to send a complete nobody."

The words of the God of Death caused the other party to be filled with rage, and everything around them was submerged by seawater, entering a world of the ocean.

"God of Death, you..."

"Oh dear, dog, still angry? But you've chosen the wrong target for your tantrum."

With a wave of his hand, the God of Death unleashed the power of death upon the ocean.

"Your power over water is all show and no substance," the god of death scoffed.

"you wanna die."

The forces of the ocean and the forces of death confronted it, but in terms of strength, the forces of death completely overwhelmed the ocean.

The God of Death sent him flying hundreds of meters away with a single punch, and said coldly, "Get lost. I'll be back. Don't put on this high and mighty act. You're clearly not that strong, but you still like to pretend."

The God of Death raised the Sword of the Underworld and aimed it at the Tide.

Tide said, "Death, you just wait. One day, you will pay the price. And just like you couldn't protect her back then, so will you."

As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial rift was torn open, and Tide walked in. He gave the God of Death one last fierce look before leaving without looking back.

As the God of Death left, his expression turned extremely serious and angry, a hint of murderous intent rising within him. He said, "I didn't expect that what was bound to happen would finally come. It's time for me to leave. This divine position should be passed down. Little one, I hope you can reach that level."
