Chi—chi—chi—
As the concept-level trait is activated—
A magnificent Pure Land manifested.
Within it flowed spiritual springs, flowers bloomed in abundance, and lush grass stretched endlessly. It resembled an earthly paradise.
Yet at this moment, petals filled the sky—
And each drifting blossom carried boundless killing intent, evaporating the entire Netherworld Sea.
One immortal flower after another bloomed like blazing flames at their peak, incinerating every trace of evil within the Pure Land.
This was purification at its absolute extreme—
Like the warmth of spring sunlight melting winter snow.
"AAARGH!"
Netherworld Douluo roared like a wounded beast.
Within the Divine Pure Land, his Martial Soul True Body seemed to be erased stroke by stroke from a painting.
Countless petals formed a galaxy-like torrent, instantly swallowing the phantom.
Each falling petal became like a bone-scraping blade, slicing across his body.
Even the Netherworld Sword martial soul was scorched black wherever petals touched it.
This was the complete form of the Divine Pure Land—
For all evil, every inch within it was lethal.
"Underworld Thunder, save me!"
Netherworld Douluo's miserable scream echoed outside the Star Dou Forest.
Who could have imagined that a dignified Titled Douluo would be gravely wounded by a mere Soul Ancestor?
"Invincible Barrier!"
Underworld Thunder Douluo's face changed drastically.
Without hesitation, he activated a defensive soul tool, projecting it over Netherworld Douluo.
He drew out the Underworld Thunder Sword as his seventh soul ring lit up.
His martial soul was Underworld Thunder.
Aside from lightning attributes, it carried a trace of sinister evil energy.
The Underworld Thunder Sword was his life-bound soul tool—
A fusion of martial soul and soul tool.
Far stronger than either alone.
"Blue Silver Armor-Shatter!"
Tang Feng activated another trait.
He grabbed Netherworld Douluo and, using Absolute First Strike, lunged toward Underworld Thunder Douluo.
At the same time, he used Imperial Armor-Shatter to strip away the opponent's soul tools—
Interrupting the fusion between martial soul and soul tool.
Clang—
Underworld Thunder Douluo felt his vision blur.
All the soul tools on his body fell to the ground, their brilliance extinguished.
Immediately after—
A searing heat ignited his martial soul, delivering devastating destruction.
Fortunately, as a lightning-attribute soul master, he had slight resistance against the Divine Pure Land.
"Ninth Soul Skill — Underworld Thunder Transformation Escape!"
His ninth soul ring lit up.
He transformed into a mass of Underworld Thunder, becoming immune to attacks as he fled.
Many times before, he had escaped death through this very skill.
"Absolute First Strike!"
Tang Feng pursued instantly.
Blue Silver Grass tracked the fleeing thunder.
Bringing Divine Pure Land and Netherworld Douluo with him—
He chased relentlessly.
Even in thunder form, Underworld Thunder Douluo remained enveloped within Divine Pure Land, thick black mist evaporating from him.
Whoosh—whoosh—whoosh—
The two moved like shadows locked together.
No matter how fast Underworld Thunder Douluo accelerated, Tang Feng kept him within the Divine Pure Land's range.
Even while restraining Netherworld Douluo with one hand—
Tang Feng was still the true ancestor of evil soul masters.
"AAAAAAAH!"
The shrill scream made scalp and spine go numb.
No one dared approach.
"Follow the two elders!"
The remaining ninety-plus evil soul masters chased after them.
Gu Yuena held Tang Ya and followed behind Tang Feng, wary of a potential trap.
Perhaps Shrek Academy had deliberately released these evil soul masters—
Setting a snare specifically for Tang Feng.
"Please… just kill me!"
Netherworld Douluo's skin had turned terrifyingly pale.
His Netherworld Sword martial soul had already been mostly purified.
His body was covered in charred burns.
Yet he did not die.
Aside from weakness, he showed no fatal injuries.
"I don't enjoy killing."
"You can repent properly within this Divine Pure Land."
Tang Feng activated Ultimate Healing, keeping Netherworld Douluo barely alive.
Divine Pure Land continued purifying everything about him—
Even his martial soul was shattered.
Perhaps one day, Netherworld Douluo would be purified into something as pure as light itself.
Boom—
Underworld Thunder Douluo finally reverted to human form.
Half his body had been burned away.
His aura was withered and weak.
If not for sheer will to survive, he would already be dead.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"I haven't permitted you to die yet."
Tang Feng rushed forward and used Ultimate Healing to stabilize him.
After all, he was a Rank 9 soul engineer.
Bringing him back to Star Luo City for Xu Jiawei might prove useful.
If extracting blueprints of Rank 9 soul tools became necessary—
Tang Feng wouldn't mind escorting him back into the Divine Pure Land again.
"You're a devil!"
Underworld Thunder Douluo trembled violently.
He could clearly feel his body and martial soul being burned by terrifying heat—
While an immense life force continuously restored him.
At this rate—
Who knew when he would finally die?
Most absurd of all—
Tang Feng's Ultimate Healing even restored the spiritual sea.
Mental collapse was impossible.
Even the eighteen layers of hell might not be this cruel.
"Sister Na'er, seal their soul power."
"If this continues, I'll run out of soul power."
Tang Feng did not intend to finish everything immediately.
Once they were taken back to Star Luo City, he would interrogate Netherworld Douluo slowly—
Not missing a single detail.
"Very well."
Gu Yuena raised her hand and pointed.
Two strands of divine power sealed their soul power and martial souls.
The two Titled Douluo were reduced to ordinary people with only strong physical bodies remaining.
"You have a top-tier guardian protecting you?"
Netherworld Douluo's vision darkened.
Where had this woman come from?
She could not possibly be unknown.
Yet they had no information about her whatsoever.
"More people are coming."
"According to human power classification, one is Rank 99—an Ultimate Douluo. The other is Rank 98—a Super Douluo."
Gu Yuena warned calmly.
Having just begun following Tang Feng, she was already encountering endless excitement.
The human world was far more lively than the Star Dou Forest.
"Over a hundred evil soul masters?"
"Damn it… We're not too late, are we?!"
The first to arrive was a burly middle-aged man.
He had steel-needle-like short hair.
His resolute face looked carved from stone.
His brownish-yellow eyes glinted faintly gold, filled with anger.
Even beneath a loose gray robe, his bulging muscles were impossible to conceal.
"Gravity Control Domain!"
He activated his domain.
In an instant, the surroundings became a swamp of crushing gravity.
The hundred evil soul masters were trapped under terrifying pressure.
Even Soul Douluo-level evil soul masters struggled to breathe.
"Good. They're still alive."
Seeing Tang Feng's group safe—
The man finally relaxed.
Fortunately, they had not arrived too late.
If this boy had died here—
It would have been a catastrophic problem.
