Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 101 Memories of Death
Long Xiaoyao moved slightly, and in the next instant, he appeared silently in front of Xia Die. The terrifying aura that once made the world change color had been completely concealed.

He looked at the stunningly beautiful and uniquely elegant girl before him, a hint of gentleness flashing in his eyes.

Xia Die is nominally Ye Xishui's disciple, but he also gives her a lot of guidance in her cultivation, so in a way, she can be considered half a disciple of his.

"Go, little butterfly."

Long Xiaoyao's voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of warning.

"You should be well aware of the consequences of failing to absorb a 100,000-year spirit ring."

His words were very direct.

How violent is the energy contained in a 100,000-year-old soul ring? It also harbors the resentment of a soul beast's dying soul.

Even ordinary titled Douluo would have to be extremely cautious when absorbing it, as it would be a matter of life and death.

She, a newly promoted Soul King, actually wants to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring, which is beyond her level. If this were to spread, outsiders would only think that she is crazy and is courting death.

Once you begin absorbing, there is no turning back; the only consequence of failure is annihilation of both body and soul.

"I know."

Xia Die nodded calmly, her purple eyes showing no hesitation or fear, as if what Long Xiaoyao said was just a trivial matter.

Seeing her like this, Long Xiaoyao narrowed his eyes slightly, his sharp gaze seemingly trying to pierce through her body.

As one of Xia Die's teachers, he naturally knew the girl's background.

Her unique physique and the flowing golden blood that contained incredible power were by no means ordinary.

He and Ye Xishui had discussed this many times and both tended to believe that Xia Die was likely a descendant of a deity or had inherited some ancient and powerful divine bloodline.

Although this is just speculation, that mysterious bloodline did indeed bring Xia Die all-round, heaven-defying growth.

Her physical strength far surpasses that of other Soul Masters of the same level, and her spiritual power is as vast as the sea.

It was this extraordinary foundation that gave her the confidence and resources to challenge a 100,000-year-old soul ring with the body of a Soul King.

"In that case, let's go."

Long Xiaoyao said no more, put his hands behind his back and stepped back, making room for him.

He and Fei Yan, who was standing beside her, would become her protectors.

Xia Die gave Long Xiaoyao a slight nod, then resolutely turned around and walked with firm steps toward the Dark Prison Demon Owl, who lay prostrate on the ground like a small mountain, his aura weak but still radiating a chilling aura.

Standing before the dying Dark Prison Demon Lord, she had a thought, and a profound, cold aura, as if the end of all things, emanated from her body.

Martial Soul Released: Death's Ruler - Ronawa.

A stunningly beautiful figure with white hair, golden eyes, dressed in black, and bearing deathly black wings appeared behind her, exuding innate nobility and mystery.

At the same time, four extraordinary spirit rings rose from beneath her feet, encircling her body—purple, purple, black, and black.

If such a configuration of spirit rings were to become known to the outside world, it would be enough to cause a stir throughout the entire spirit master world.

Long Xiaoyao and Fei Yan watched quietly from the side.

They all knew that even though the Dark Prison Demon Owl was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the strength of its 100,000-year-old soul beast body was something that a Soul King could not break through.

That feather, forged from refined iron and imbued with the essence of darkness, was the most formidable armor. However, neither of them offered assistance, for they knew that Xia Die had her own methods.

Suddenly, the deep black fourth spirit ring on Xia Die's body lit up, its light shining brightly.

Fourth Soul Skill: Death Memories.

As the soul skill was activated, a blurry female phantom, more solid yet more eerie than the phantom of the Death Ruler, appeared behind Xia Die.

Although the phantom's face was indistinct, its posture and the small blood-red tower it held, which exuded a strong aura of death and blood, were extremely familiar to Long Xiaoyao and Fei Yan.

The next moment, the female phantom seemed to be given a life of its own. She raised the small red tower in her hand and aimed it at the powerless Dark Prison Demon Owl on the ground.

Om-!
A beam of blood-red light, condensed to its extreme and seemingly formed from the wails of countless vengeful spirits and the intent of bloody slaughter, suddenly shot out from the tower.

The moment the beam of light appeared, the surrounding space was torn open with fine black marks, and the piercing screams of vengeful spirits soared into the sky, as if to drag people's souls into the deepest hell.

Death's Light!

"Ugh—!!!"

The Dark Prison Demon Lord's last remaining consciousness let out a final, desperate cry.

That resilient head, strong enough to withstand the full force of a Title Douluo's attack, was instantly pierced through like paper before this crimson beam of light.

A charred hole with eerie red edges appeared on its head, and all life was instantly annihilated by the aura of death.

Its massive body convulsed violently, then stiffened completely, becoming utterly lifeless.

A deep, blood-red, 100,000-year-old soul ring, radiating immense energy, slowly rose from its enormous corpse. The soul ring was faintly wreathed in vengeful spirits, highlighting its extraordinary nature and danger.

Beside him, Scarlet Douluo Fei Yan watched the slowly dissipating female phantom and the small red tower, a flicker of fear crossing his eyes. He couldn't help but sigh:

"The Death Light of the Supreme Master is so terrifying and unparalleled, no matter how many times you see it, it is... captivating."

Indeed, the female phantom that appeared behind Xia Die was the projection of Death God Douluo Ye Xishui.

The small red tower in her hand was the infamous level nine soul tool, which could be upgraded to a level ten soul tool in the future—the Death Tower.

That crimson beam of light was the attack that Ye Xishui could only unleash with the Death God Tower—the Death God's Light.

This strike was incredibly powerful. If an ordinary Title Douluo were hit head-on, he would instantly perish without any special means of survival.

The reason why Xia Die, a Soul Master, could unleash such a terrifying attack lies in her fourth Soul Skill—Death Memories.

As the name suggests, the effect of this soul skill is to reproduce the attack that caused the user's death.

This ability would be practically useless to any other Soul Master.

Because its activation requires that one must have personally experienced death, that is, one must have actually died once.

However, this seemingly absurd restriction is precisely the perfect match for Xia Die.

Because her second soul skill is called—Death Dream.

The effect of a death dream is that it can transform the "death" that is imposed on oneself into a "dream" under certain conditions.

Although this soul skill has extremely limited limitations, it can only be used once a day and consumes a massive amount of soul power, it is undoubtedly a heaven-defying life-saving skill.
