Douluo Continent: I, an evil soul master, work nine-to-five in the Tang Sect.

Chapter 109 Death Realm

"I see. No wonder my evil fire couldn't harm you at all. Your martial soul's ability is truly bizarre. By the way, is this really a weapon martial soul? How can a purely physical weapon martial soul possess such an ability?"

After listening to Luo Chen's explanation, Ma Xiaotao finally understood why Luo Chen was able to withstand her terrifying evil fire with his cultivation as a four-ring Soul Master, and even appear extremely relaxed.

However, this aroused Ma Xiaotao's curiosity. Luo Chen, who was only at the fourth-ring Soul Master realm and had a weapon spirit, should not have such powerful abilities.

To withstand her evil fire, one would need to be at least a six-ring Soul Emperor of the same level as her, or a Soul Master with a pure elemental attribute martial soul who has a deep ability to control fire attribute energy.

As for the Soul Master with a Weapon Martial Soul, it would be a pipe dream to resist or even resolve the evil fire within her body. After all, in the face of this terrifying evil fire, any Weapon Martial Soul would only have one fate upon contact: to be melted!

Ultimately, a weapon spirit is nothing more than an object made of soul power. Even a so-called shield-type weapon spirit will break because it cannot withstand attacks that exceed its own defensive limits.

Therefore, almost no Soul Master with a Weapon Martial Soul can withstand Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire, which is extremely close to the ultimate fire. Not to mention Weapon Martial Souls made of Soul Power, even defensive Soul Guidance Devices made of alloys or energy shields will be melted by this Evil Fire!

Ma Xiaotao herself could not bear or control the temperature of her own evil fire. If she could control her own evil fire, then she wouldn't still be suppressing it in her body until now.

"Haha, I'm not too sure about that either. Maybe I'm just naturally gifted. But senior, what you said has reminded me. I do have a way to clear the evil fire that's being suppressed in your body."

Although Luo Chen was aware of the situation of his Death Scythe Martial Soul, it was still something beyond the Fang World. Before he had grown to his peak, he would not reveal anything about his Martial Soul to anyone.

The terrifying aspect of the Death Scythe Martial Soul lies not only in its sharpness, but also in the fact that Luo Chen does not wish to step into the realm of "Evil Soul Master." Otherwise, with the power of death granted by the Death Scythe, he could easily transform any soul into his own Death Puppet.

Moreover, there is no limit to the number of Death God puppets that can be transformed, nor are there any distinctions between types. In other words, as long as Luo Chen is willing, he can even transform all the living beings on this entire plane into his own puppets for combat!

Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, any creature capable of possessing a soul and intelligence can be transformed into a Death God puppet by Luo Chen, not to mention so-called humans.

Even if it's just the most basic ten-year or even a hundred-year soul beast, as long as Luo Chen is willing, he can seize the life force of batches of ten-year and hundred-year soul beasts in an instant and transform them into his own Death God puppets.

Even after absorbing and fusing in large quantities, these death puppets can advance and evolve into more powerful undead. Luo Chen already knew this from the ten-thousand-year-old Taipan Poison Armor Scorpion he had transformed into earlier.

The Death Puppet that it transforms into is essentially devoid of intelligence and thought, but it possesses the most fundamental fighting instincts and killing desires. Any living being it can see will be used as food, and after killing the opponent, it will absorb the opponent's soul to strengthen itself!

This is the true terror of the Death God puppets. These Death God puppets don't even need Luo Chen to control them personally. As long as he gives the order, they can act as a never-ending killing machine, constantly hunting down life forms with souls!

However, Luo Chen had not personally tried this. After all, a Taipan Poison Armor Scorpion with a cultivation of ten thousand years might be useful for hunting so-called hundred-year or even thousand-year soul beasts, but once it attracted the attention of a soul beast overlord, it would be instantly defeated.

Luo Chen also regarded the Death Puppet ability as his trump card. After all, if he encountered a powerful being that he could not fight against, or faced an attack that he could not withstand, he could use the Death Puppet to deal with it.

After all, unless Luo Chen's Death Puppet encounters a stronger being who is more deeply involved in the rules of death than he himself, even if the Death Puppet is destroyed, Luo Chen can still summon it again after a period of time.

This is the power of the Death God Puppet. As long as there is enough energy supply, the Death God Puppet is immortal. The same is true for Luo Chen himself. As long as he does not suffer an attack that will kill him instantly, Luo Chen can use his life force to recover.

However, Luo Chen is currently struggling because he does not have a treasure to replenish his life force. Once Luo Chen finds such a treasure that can provide his life force, his strength will be able to increase rapidly!

For Luo Chen, so-called life force is a form of energy. As long as he can convert a large amount of life force, his Death Scythe Martial Soul can evolve accordingly, thereby continuously improving his mental strength and physical qualities.

Even the soul can evolve, becoming exceptionally strong and powerful, and the control over the rules of death becomes increasingly adept. This is why Luo Chen only gained the power of death after awakening his martial soul after breaking through to the Soul Venerable realm.

That is because the so-called authority to die is given entirely based on Luo Chen's own soul. Within the body of the Reaper's Scythe, there is the most complete authority to die, and this authority to die is granted according to Luo Chen's own strength.

Luo Chen gradually came to understand these matters through continuous practice with the Death Scythe. Now, Luo Chen has lifted the veil that the Death Scythe Martial Soul used to conceal itself. What remains is to continuously improve his own strength and evolve the Death Scythe Martial Soul, which has not yet recovered!

In Luo Chen's estimation, every time he breaks through a major realm, the Death Scythe Martial Soul can provide him with a new ability. The ability to absorb life was given when he first awakened the Martial Soul.

After breaking through to the second ring of the Great Soul Master, Luo Chen mastered the ability to detect life, and could sense all living beings with vitality. When he broke through to the third ring, Luo Chen also gained the ability to transform souls and summon Death Puppet.

As for the ability provided by the breakthrough to the fourth ring Soul Sect, it is also an extremely useful ability for Luo Chen. That is, to absorb all forms of energy attacks, and even to transform these attacks and counter them against the opponent!

It was precisely because of this skill that Luo Chen was able to remain so composed in his battle with Ma Xiaotao. After all, any energy-based attack, as long as it did not exceed Luo Chen's tolerance limit, could be absorbed and stored by the Death Scythe's devouring ability.

However, Luo Chen is not yet familiar with the use of this ability. The Devouring ability is an active skill of the Reaper's Scythe, and the mental energy required is unimaginable. Therefore, Luo Chen will not use this ability lightly unless absolutely necessary.

Because if things went wrong, the attack couldn't be blocked, and Luo Chen himself was the first to overdraw his mental energy. However, with Luo Chen's current mental energy, which is comparable to a six-ring Soul Emperor, it would be quite difficult to make his mental energy fall into a state of overdrawn energy.

Since Luo Chen awakened his martial soul, in the process of cultivating to his current level, he has only experienced a situation where his spiritual power was overdrawn once or twice. Most of the time, when he was on the verge of death, it was because his physical strength and soul power were severely overdrawn.

Otherwise, if his mental energy is depleted, Luo Chen will immediately fall into a coma and completely lose his ability to fight.

Furthermore, the fourth soul ring absorbed by his Death Scythe Martial Soul is essentially an exceptionally powerful support-type soul skill that can provide Luo Chen with a very short period of invincibility!

After releasing this fourth soul skill, Death Domain, any energy attack that enters Luo Chen's one-meter radius will be indiscriminately transferred, similar to the devouring ability given by the Death Scythe Martial Soul.

However, unlike the previous one, the function of this fourth soul skill, Death Domain, is to transfer energy attacks, rather than to devour them like the Devouring ability. As for where the energy attacks that entered the Death Domain were transferred to, Luo Chen himself had no way of knowing.

Luo Chen was clear that within three seconds of releasing his fourth soul skill, Death Domain, he could not only indiscriminately transfer any energy attack, but even physical attacks would be spatially teleported after entering Death Domain, causing them to land elsewhere!

Luo Chen, who was in the Death God's Domain, was not only immune to energy attacks, but also to physical attacks. This fourth soul skill was a very powerful life-saving soul skill.

However, as a ten-thousand-year-old soul skill, and the already awakened Death Scythe Martial Soul, it naturally comes with a special ability: any life form within the Death God's Domain will have its life force taken away by Luo Chen at an extremely fast speed.

The power of the Death God Domain is not only to redirect and make any attack miss, but also to prevent any living being from entering the space within a one-meter radius around Luo Chen in any form. However, this also has its limits.

Although Luo Chen had not studied the power of the Death God Domain in detail, according to Mu En, even a level 99 Limit Douluo like him would find it almost impossible to break through Luo Chen's Death God Domain and affect him within three seconds.

Therefore, Luo Chen also possessed his first domain-type skill, which was also a true life-saving divine skill that could greatly increase Luo Chen's survival rate when encountering top experts.

However, although the Death Domain is extremely powerful, almost granting immortality, this soul skill can only provide Luo Chen with three seconds of invincibility. Once the time is up, it loses its effect and cannot be released again in a short period of time.

This means that when Luo Chen faces a truly powerful opponent, he will still be killed at any time, just like before. After all, the Death God Domain is not truly invincible, and it can only provide Luo Chen with one chance.

However, this is enough for Luo Chen now. Three seconds may be insignificant in battles between lower realms, but in battles between strong individuals, the effect can be quite significant!

For true powerhouses, a mere second is enough to unleash numerous soul skills or even employ a variety of tactics!

With the support of this domain-type soul skill, even if Luo Chen is no match for a seven-ring soul saint, he can still use his various abilities to create various advantages for himself!

"You have a way to clear the evil fire from my body?!"

Upon hearing Luo Chen's words, Ma Xiaotao disregarded her own dignity and asked Luo Chen in a rather undignified manner.

However, this cannot be blamed on her. After all, Ma Xiaotao is quite aware of how terrifying her own evil fire is. It is a rather tenacious energy that will eventually relapse even if it is extinguished.

Even the many elders in the Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy were helpless against this evil fire. All they could do was help Ma Xiaotao suppress the evil fire in her body for a short time.

However, even doing so could not completely extinguish the evil fire in Ma Xiaotao's body. Moreover, every time the evil fire was suppressed, it would ignite at an even more terrifying speed and become increasingly frightening!

Because of this, even Shrek Academy, with its profound heritage and numerous titled experts, had no way to deal with the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao's body.

Even Yan Shaozhe, who also possesses the Phoenix Martial Soul, was helpless against the evil fire suppressed within Ma Xiaotao's body.

Although Ma Xiaotao didn't know what the method Luo Chen was talking about was, since Luo Chen had said so, she had to try it no matter what. After all, she couldn't give up even if there was only a sliver of hope!

Ma Xiaotao had had enough of the evil fire that had tormented her for so long. Even if it meant exhausting her cultivation, she wanted to completely eradicate the evil fire from her body!

"While I cannot completely cure the evil fire within you, I can certainly eliminate it. Your current attempts to suppress the evil fire with the power of Xuanming will only make the next eruption of the evil fire more powerful, and will not serve any purpose at all..."

Luo Chen could see Ma Xiaotao's situation quite clearly. Although most of the evil fire had been suppressed by the pure ice attribute energy that was comparable to the ultimate ice, this only delayed the time for the evil fire to erupt.
