Douluo Phoenix

Chapter 153 Soul Bone Armor Divine Gear

The Battle of Jialing Pass continues. Although the Spirit Empire has the advantage for the time being, with the arrival of Tang Xiao, the Star Luo Empire has also sent many Soul Douluo-level experts, and the two sides have fallen into a strange stalemate.

During the three-month war, both sides suffered heavy losses. Many titled Douluo were injured, and more than half of the ordinary soldiers were killed or wounded. Many ordinary soul masters were also killed or wounded. In particular, the number of soul masters in the Heaven Dou Empire was far less than that of the Spirit Empire.

A calm descended upon the battlefield, as both sides seemed to be gathering their strength in preparation for the final battle.

Thanks to months of battlefield training, Tang San's soul power had actually increased to level 92. However, to Tang San's surprise, the information about the eighth trial of the Sea God's Trial transmitted from the trident between his eyebrows had changed. The original Deep Sea Demon Whale King had become the Soul Devouring Demon Chapter, leaving Tang San and his companions completely baffled.

The performance of the other six members of Shrek Academy was not as impressive as in the original story. Only Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was relatively powerful and could hold back a Title Douluo.

In a battlefield with more than fifteen Title Douluos, it's indeed difficult for a few Soul Saints to attract everyone's attention.

Just as the major empires were beginning their fierce battle, the Elemental Academy closed its gates and arranged for high-ranking Soul Masters from various departments to patrol.

The five deans convened a general meeting of the entire academy, ordering all students to remain within the academy grounds and to refrain from contacting anyone outside the academy for the foreseeable future. Even the hunting of spirit rings would have to wait until after the war.

Anyone who leaves the college without permission or is caught contacting people outside the college will be expelled. If there is an urgent matter requiring a meeting with family, a teacher must be present.

Although the actions of the Elemental Academy caused a stir among a few people, most of them calmed down and continued their cultivation and study.

Meanwhile, Xiao Fei continued his cultivation on the 999th step of the Vulcan Tower. After three months of continuous tempering, his entire body, as if constantly being hammered, was finally tempered on this day. The original water-attribute soul bone no longer contained any water attribute; instead, it transformed into the ultimate flame.

The million-year-old torso of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King on his body had finally been successfully tempered. The moment the soul bone was successfully tempered, it shone with brilliance, like a divine artifact being born. Perhaps this million-year-old torso soul bone was already a divine artifact.

With the torso's soul bone successfully tempered, all the fire-attribute soul bones in the body seemed to fuse into a single whole, intricately connected. Summoning all the soul bones, each covering a corresponding part, the different soul bones appeared welded together, without any repulsion between them, forming a seamless, natural whole.

At this moment, Xiao Fei had no skin exposed at all, and instead appeared to be wearing fiery red armor, much like Optimus Prime from Transformers. It is estimated that this Soul Bone Armor will greatly enhance Xiao Fei's abilities, making him capable of directly confronting ordinary divine artifacts.

Then, Xiao Fei, clad in armor, took the final step, crossing the 1000th step of the Vulcan Tower. As for the 1001st step, Xiao Fei didn't attempt to cross it, because only the Vulcan's artifact, the Vulcan Pestle, could be crossed by recognizing its master.

Xiao Fei bowed deeply to the Vulcan Pestle: "Thank you for your guidance, Lord Vulcan. I am deeply grateful."

After saying that, Xiao Fei walked down the Vulcan Tower without looking back, and left the Vulcan Temple with the Asura Demon Sword on his back.

After Xiao Fei left, the phantom of the God of Fire appeared above the Vulcan pestle. The phantom shook its head: "What a fine young man, what a pity."

Xiao Fei didn't go to find Shui Bing'er. Instead, he summoned a fire phoenix and flew quickly towards the Star Dou Great Forest, where the last and most important spirit ring that Xiao Fei needed was located.

In less than three days, they arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. The town was no longer as bustling as it used to be, and all the Soul Hunter mercenary groups that used to frequent the area had disappeared.

He randomly picked a restaurant and said, "Waiter, please order me a table full of good food."

The waiter looked at Xiao Fei with a slightly strange expression: "Sir, are you a Soul Master?"

Seeing Xiao Fei nod, the waiter quickly said, "Respected Soul Master, you should probably be careful when you go out."

Xiao Fei asked, somewhat puzzled, "Isn't being a Soul Master the noblest profession? Why would we need to be careful?"

"Soul Master, are you unaware? The Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Spirit Empire are currently at war. I've heard that the battlefield is awash in blood, and many Soul Masters have already perished."

"Our town used to have many Soul Master mercenary groups. But now that the three great empires have issued conscription orders, many Soul Masters have joined the Soul Master legions of the various empires. If they disobey orders, they may be forcibly taken away."

Xiao Fei sighed and shook his head: "War, this is war. By the way, waiter, is there any news from the battlefield right now?"

"I've heard some guests say that the battlefield is extremely dangerous. More than half of the million-strong armies of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire have been killed or wounded, and many Spirit Masters have also died. Now, if there are any Spirit Masters left, they have all gone into hiding, and some families have even had their entire clans taken away."

He took out a few gold coins and tossed them to the waiter: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Nobody dares to arrest me."

Xiao Fei poured himself a glass of wine, and as he drank, a bitter smile appeared on his face: "War, ha, war! Who cares about the deaths of ordinary soul masters or ordinary people?"

After the meal, Xiao Fei walked into the Star Dou Great Forest alone.

Arriving once again at the heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life, he shouted, "Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, please come out and meet me!" His voice echoed throughout the entire Lake of Life.

A moment later, a loud roar seemed to echo from the depths of the lake. Soon after, the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python appeared beside the Lake of Life.

"Human, thank you for reminding us last time, otherwise we might have been in danger."

Xiao Fei smiled and said, "Gentlemen, it's nothing serious, just a few words."

"Human, what brings you to the Star Dou Great Forest to see us?"

"I've come to the Star Dou Great Forest to meet you two because I have something I'd like to ask you."

The Azure Bull Python seemed somewhat puzzled: "Human, what do you want to ask?"

"Senior Azure Bull Python, do you know Senior Di Tian? Or have you heard of Senior Di Tian?"

The Titan Ape shook its head, a look of confusion in its eyes.

The Azure Bull Python pondered for a moment: "When I was very young, I seemed to have heard this name once. At that time, I seemed to hear a huge battle in the Lake of Life, and one of the voices was calling out 'Di Tian'. The battle aura was extremely powerful, and I dared not approach it."

"I've heard there's a place within the Lake of Life. Could you take me there to see it?"

Seeing the Azure Bull Python's hesitation, he said, "Senior, don't worry. I'm not here to fight. I just want to borrow something from Senior Di Tian."
