Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 532 Ye Xinglan VS Duanmu Yan

Fifth Soul Skill: Star Sword!

With a delicate shout from Ye Xinglan, a ten-meter-tall phantom of the Star God Sword formed behind her. The Star God Sword in her hand shone brightly, carrying an indomitable momentum, and clashed fiercely with Duanmu Yan's Melting Scale Blade.

A deafening roar erupted instantly, seemingly shattering the sky. Powerful energy surged outwards like a raging tide, whipping up a violent gale.

"Bang!"

The next moment, Ye Xinglan felt an irresistible force rushing towards her, and her body flew backward uncontrollably like a kite with a broken string.

Fortunately, Xu Lizhi had been focused on the battlefield situation and quickly activated his battle armor. With a flap of his wings, he flew like a black lightning bolt to Ye Xinglan's back and caught her steadily.

However, despite Xu Lizhi's best efforts to deflect the force, the powerful impact still passed through Ye Xinglan's body and into his hands, causing his face to turn deathly pale and his hands to tremble slightly.

He quickly used his neutralizing technique to try to deflect the terrifying force, so as to prevent both of them from suffering more serious injuries.

"puff--"

Ye Xinglan was already suffering from old injuries that had not yet healed. Now, after suffering such a heavy blow, the injuries in her body could no longer be suppressed. A mouthful of blood spurted out, spilling onto the ground and staining it a glaring crimson.

"I have a big meat bun. Sister Xinglan, hurry up and eat a bun to replenish your energy."

Xu Lizhi was extremely anxious. Six spirit rings, two purple and four black, instantly rose from his body. Without hesitation, he used his first spirit skill to try to heal Ye Xinglan.

Since their journey to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, all members of the Shrek Seven Devils of this generation have reached the Soul Emperor level, experiencing a qualitative leap in strength.

Ye Xinglan raised her head with difficulty, nodded slightly, opened her mouth, and swallowed the large meat bun that Xu Lizhi handed her in a few bites.

This large meat bun contained abundant soul power and vitality. After entering her body, it slowly released warm and powerful energy, which barely helped stabilize her injuries.

After a moment, Ye Xinglan finally managed to speak, despite her pain, "Lizhi, you leave first, I'll hold him off."

Xu Lizhi knew the situation was critical and he wasn't one to hesitate. He gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes, and nodded, saying, "Okay, Sister Xinglan, I'll leave you a mark later."

"No need." Ye Xinglan shook her head gently, her eyes revealing determination and persistence. "You go to Tianhai City to report first. Once I've gotten rid of him, I'll naturally go to Tianhai City to meet you."

"Alright." Xu Lizhi said no more and immediately summoned his martial soul. The first five soul rings on his body flashed in turn as he chanted, "Restore Big Meat Bun, Light and Agile Small Steamed Bun, Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun, Piercing Char Siu Bun, Solid Crystal Bun."

As his voice fell, five steamed buns, each radiating a different light and aura, appeared in his hands. Without hesitation, he handed all the buns to Ye Xinglan, then his battle armor's wings suddenly unfurled, preparing to flee the area.

"Trying to run? Not so easy." Duanmu Yan's sharp eyes instantly detected Xu Lizhi's intention. He snorted coldly, turned around, raised the Melting Scale Blade high, and charged towards Xu Lizhi with a chilling blade light. His speed was like that of a ghost.

Seeing this, Xu Lizhi grinned, a sly look on his face. His sixth spirit ring flashed instantly, a purplish-black light illuminating it: "Sixth Spirit Skill: Destruction Dynamite."

Immediately afterwards, a purplish-black bun took shape in his hand and he threw it forcefully at Duanmu Yan.

As a food-type Soul Master, how could he throw steamed buns at his opponent? If others saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.

However, the next moment, the Molten Scale Blade and the purplish-black bun collided violently.

"boom!"

A deafening roar erupted, followed by a powerful explosion. Duanmu Yan's seemingly inevitable strike was momentarily halted in mid-air by the sudden blast.

Xu Lizhi seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, fully activating his battle armor, instantly breaking free from Duanmu Yan's lock-on, and in the blink of an eye, he had already flown more than a hundred meters away, speeding towards the distance.

What is this thing? A bomb-shaped steamed bun?

Duanmu Yan was also taken aback by this sudden turn of events, a look of confusion appearing on his face. He truly didn't know anything about Xu Lizhi's situation before.

However, he quickly realized that although the bun had considerable explosive force, it only caused him to pause for a moment and could not cause him any real harm.

Support characters also need to have combat power; it seems that some of the Shrek Seven Devils from 10,000 to 20,000 years ago also played this way.

"Hmph, fine, he's just a support-type Soul Master after all. I'll deal with you first." After weighing the options briefly, Duanmu Yan decided to let Xu Lizhi, who was trying to escape, go for the time being. Anyway, he wasn't Oukeser, so letting him go wouldn't hurt.

At this moment, Ye Xinglan had already eaten the five steamed buns that Xu Lizhi had given her one by one.

The large meat bun quickly repaired her internal injuries and replenished her depleted energy, improving her mental state somewhat.

The effects of the light and agile steamed buns came into play, and Ye Xinglan felt her body become much lighter and her speed was significantly improved, as if she were walking on air.

The Bloodthirsty Red Bean Bun granted her a berserk power; a violent and powerful aura surged from her body, instantly boosting her attack power to a new level. Her eyes also turned bloodshot, filled with a desire to fight.

Piercing the red bean bun further enhanced her attack power, making the Star God Sword in her hand even sharper. Every swing seemed to cut through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.

The sturdy crystal pouch formed a transparent and tough shield on her body, effectively enhancing her defensive capabilities and providing her with an extra layer of protection when facing Duanmu Yan's attacks.

After a series of enhancements, coupled with the presence of the Battle Armor and the Tyrannosaurus Worm, Ye Xinglan is now confident of winning even against ordinary Title Douluos.

However, Ye Xinglan knew very well that with these methods alone, defeating Duanmu Yan would still be an extremely difficult task.

It was because of his previous encounter with Duanmu Yan that Ye Xinglan truly understood how powerful and terrifying his strength was.

Although Duanmu Yan's cultivation level is still at the Soul Douluo level, his actual combat strength is enough to surpass most Title Douluo-level powerhouses.

She had just used her soul skill, but she couldn't even withstand the opponent's normal attack. The powerful force still made her blood and qi in her body churn, causing her extreme discomfort.

A small exchange made her realize the huge gap between the two sides, and also made her understand that if she was not careful, the battle might really end in an instant, ending in her crushing defeat.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Xinglan tried to calm her surging blood and gradually quiet her emotions. However, her gaze did not dim; instead, it became even more determined and resolute, as if burning with a raging fire.

She slowly closed her eyes, gripped the Star God Sword tightly with both hands, and starlight began to illuminate her surroundings. The starlight grew brighter and denser, gradually enveloping her.

Even her battle armor was affected by the starlight, and began to shine even more brilliantly, as if countless starlight had detached from her body and bloomed with the most dazzling brilliance around her.

Ye Xinglan's sixth spirit ring lit up, and she closed her eyes, gripping the Star God Sword with both hands.

"Did he break through at the last minute?"

Duanmu Yan keenly noticed Ye Xinglan's change. His eyebrows rose slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He was surprised to find that Ye Xinglan's aura had suddenly become completely different, as if he had been reborn.

This is not a breakthrough in cultivation, but a sublimation in artistic conception, a deeper understanding and comprehension of martial spirit.

The starlight that appeared around Ye Xinglan's body began to undergo a strange change. These starlight suddenly became exceptionally bright, as if they were burning. Then, they actually vaporized, turning into wisps of light and airflow that surrounded Ye Xinglan's body.

The Star God Sword, held in both hands, was slowly raised upwards in front of her, and the air currents formed by starlight around her all converged towards the Star God Sword.

The Star God Sword's light grew increasingly dazzling, and at the same time, it gradually grew larger in her hand. What grew larger was not the sword itself, but a transparent yet extremely bright sword shadow.

The sword shadow swayed slightly, yet it was full of agility, without any oppressive force. However, with its appearance, Duanmu Yan on the opposite side couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Sword Soul!"

No matter what kind of weapon it is, feel its meaning, grasp its depth, possess its soul, and obtain its spirit.

Generally speaking, Soul Masters can only sense the existence of their Martial Soul when they reach the Super Douluo level. Unexpectedly, Ye Xinglan, a Soul Emperor, was able to comprehend it ahead of time.

Anyone who can comprehend the sword soul, as long as their cultivation talent isn't too bad, will almost certainly become a Super Douluo, and in battle they will be able to easily challenge opponents of higher levels, demonstrating astonishing combat power.

"Interesting. Let me see just how far you can go." Duanmu Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.

He was also inspired by Ye Xinglan's breakthrough, and the soul power within his body began to surge and circulate. Wisps of seven-colored flames slowly emerged from his body, then wrapped around the Melting Scale Blade, emitting a scorching and dangerous aura.

"Molten Flame Splitter".

Duanmu Yan roared, raising the Melting Scale Blade high before slashing down fiercely. In an instant, a massive blade shadow wreathed in seven-colored flames appeared, carrying an aura of world-destroying power, and slashed fiercely towards Ye Xinglan.

The moment the enormous blade appeared, the ground couldn't withstand the immense pressure and cracked open with a loud "crack".

The earth itself was torn apart by the force of this strike, demonstrating just how powerful Duanmu Yan's attack was.

But Ye Xinglan seemed oblivious to her opponent's change; a faint halo enveloped her face. Sparkling starlight shimmered, and her eyes also emitted a strange, radiant glow.

The Star God Sword, held in both hands, had been raised above his head. His sixth spirit ring flashed, and at the tip of the Star God Sword, a ten-meter-long sword shadow had fully formed, no longer swaying, only displaying unparalleled sharpness.

"Sword—, Star—, Soul—"

Ye Xinglan uttered three words slowly and deliberately. With each word, the sword shadow at the tip of the Star God Sword would grow three meters larger, as if responding to her call and absorbing the power of heaven and earth.

As she swung the sword with immense force, it was as if a galaxy of stars was pouring down from the sky, dazzling and magnificent, carrying boundless power as it swept towards Duanmu Yanxi.

Attacks of this level are simply not enough to contend with Duanmu Yan.

However, the next moment, Duanmu Yan's expression suddenly changed, and a look of shock appeared in his eyes. Because he clearly saw that an orange-gold spirit ring had appeared on Ye Xinglan's body at some unknown time!

Orange-gold—that represents the soul ring of a ferocious beast.

At this moment, the spirit ring was flashing incessantly. The enormous sword shadow arrived in front of Duanmu Yan in an instant.

"We've been tricked." Duanmu Yan's expression changed slightly, and then she swung the Melting Scale Blade upwards without hesitation.

The seven-colored flames, like surging waves, burned the sky, while the towering sword shadows and star souls, carrying the terrifying aura of a cascading galaxy, collided fiercely with them.

The instant the flames and the sword spirit clashed in mid-air, the sky seemed to be torn apart by an invisible hand, unleashing a deafening roar. The ground trembled violently, as if a powerful earthquake had struck.

Immediately afterward, at the center of the collision, a massive black vortex appeared. This vortex was like a bottomless black hole, swallowing countless stars and extinguishing the flames within it, making them vanish without a trace.

The earth cracked open, and dozens of huge, bottomless gaps suddenly appeared, crisscrossing the ground from the center of the battle between the two. They looked like wounds torn apart the earth, a shocking sight.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of booming sounds shattered countless lights and shadows in the sky.

The crisscrossing sword energy and wild, fiery blade light erupted on this battlefield, intertwining and colliding to unleash astonishing energy.

The roar lingered for a long time, lasting for more than ten seconds before gradually subsiding. On the ground, only one figure remained standing. The Molten Scale Blade lay on the ground, its surface crisscrossed with sword marks.

"Tsk, did she get away?"

Duanmu Yan clicked her tongue, a hint of annoyance on her face.

Ye Xinglan should not have been able to withstand that attack, but who could have imagined that she would not only suddenly comprehend the Sword Soul, but also break through to become a Soul Saint and unleash her Martial Soul True Body, which allowed her to barely block Duanmu Yan's fatal blow.

However, Duanmu Yan also knew that even if Ye Xinglan blocked the attack, her Martial Soul True Body had already been broken by her. At this moment, her soul power must have been exhausted, and it would probably be difficult for her to recover in a short time.

But Duanmu Yan had no intention of pursuing, because he had just sensed a familiar aura.
