Chapter 10 Changes in Wind and Fire
As the black light merged, the mysterious aura that Kong Tianxu had sensed earlier reappeared. An overwhelming pressure surged towards him like a tidal wave, instantly halting his momentum. The pressure intensified with each wave, seemingly endless.
A martial spirit combination skill? Kong Tianxu's heart skipped a beat, but he did not flee immediately.
Almost simultaneously with the lighting of the first spirit ring, the second spirit ring also shone brightly, with temperatures exceeding one thousand degrees Celsius radiating outward from the right dragon claw. No longer the deliberately suppressed orange-red, a strong golden-red light emerged, then converged inward at an astonishing speed.
"It's done!" Xu Yunxiao's lips curled into a cruel smile. Their martial soul combination was least afraid of single-point attacks like the lightning bolt from before. No matter how talented Kong Tianxu was, he couldn't possibly unleash another area-of-effect attack of the same level with that soul tool that he coveted but was clearly designed for close combat.
Kong Tianxu remained focused on condensing the fire element in his hand, ignoring the increasingly tight encirclement.
It could be seen that the golden-red light in his hand suddenly deepened, condensing into a small dark red sun, and the extremely terrifying high temperature caused the surrounding light to distort violently.
The light patterns rippled, and this powerful fire-attribute light cluster had absorbed enough solar energy to reach the attack strength of a Soul Emperor.
But it's still a little short.
Xu Yunxiao revealed a smug smile. Just as he expected, this attack not only lacked the power of the previous one, but it was also not an area-of-effect skill. Once their Xuanming Coffin was fully formed, no one below the eighth ring would be able to escape.
However, it wasn't over yet. Kong Tianxu showed him through his actions that nothing is impossible for a true genius.
Because besides fire, there is also wind.
A vortex of cyan light appeared, and the small sun in Kong Tianxu's hand began to spin naturally. The wind fanned the flames, instantly filling the surrounding air with the smell of burning.
Its magnificent aura burst forth, instantly offsetting much of the omnipresent oppressive force of the Xuanming Shield Formation, and even showing a faint tendency to rival it.
How can this kid use so many elements, and all of them are so powerful? Xu Yunxiao almost gritted his teeth to pieces when he saw this. He knew he could no longer let Kong Tianxu do as he pleased, otherwise his side would definitely suffer heavy losses.
He slammed his hand down on his Xuanjia shield. Black energy surged, and the three Soul Kings' auras surged. With a shout, the shields expanded at an accelerated pace, blotting out the sky and crushing towards Kong Tianxu, closing in the blink of an eye. At the same time, his soul rings shone behind him, and the Xuanming Hand reached out to grab Kong Tianxu once more.
"Either dodge and fail, only to be suppressed, or take the hit head-on and be overwhelmed by your own soul skill. Kid, how do you want to die?"
Xu Yunxiao's eyes flashed with a fierce light. After being thwarted one after another, his killing intent toward Kong Tianxu was no longer just about keeping the existence of the soul bone a secret.
Kong Tianxu stood motionless, ignoring the rapidly approaching Xuanming Hand. The small sun in his hand spun faster and faster, gradually turning blue, and was about to reach a threshold.
Black Light, we've arrived.
"Die!" Xu Yunxiao roared, covering the area with his Xuanming Shield.
To his surprise, the moment the Xuanming Hand touched Kong Tianxu's body, he lost control of his soul skill, as if he had suddenly vanished. At this moment, perhaps even he himself did not realize that his voice had become tinged with fear due to Kong Tianxu's endless control over the elements.
Just before the several Xuanjia shields, stretched to their limit, were about to close, Kong Tianxu finally raised his head. What Xu Yunxiao didn't see was that, at the moment the Xuanming Hand was about to touch his body, a layer of hazy moonlight completely enveloped him.
The imposing Xuanming Hand seemed to melt into the moonlight, causing him no harm whatsoever.
Now, the moonlight is fading, and in its place are thousands of flashing, flickering lightning bolts.
The next moment, his body seemed to transform into one of the countless bolts of lightning, flashing out from the last gap of the Xuanming Shield Formation with an astonishing speed, carrying a blazing deep blue light. Almost the instant the Xuanming Coffin was formed, he had already arrived behind the weakest Soul King.
When Kong Tianxu reappeared, his face was somewhat pale. He couldn't even bother to adjust his somewhat disordered breathing, as he was about to lose control of the increasingly violent wind and fire elements in his hands.
The left-hand elemental creed split open from the middle, and then, in Xu Yunxiao's incredulous gaze as he looked back, pierced the small sun that was spinning faster and faster.
The rotation abruptly stopped, and then, it erupted and exploded!
Elemental Creed, Wind and Fire Transformation! Second Soul Skill, Solar Storm Domain! A blue fire meteor, like a cannonball, hurtled towards the Xuanming Shield Formation with a trail of blue and red flames. The Soul King at the forefront could not withstand it in the slightest; the blue meteor pierced through his chest in an instant, striking the still-erect Xuanming Shield.
The massive wind and fire elements raged, instantly scattering the Xuanming Sect's formation. They could only desperately rely on their sturdy Xuanjia shields to protect their bodies from being burned and cut.
Xu Yunxiao was in the same situation. He was closest to the center of the firestorm and didn't even have time to release his Martial Soul True Body. Although he had Soul Power protecting him, he was only slightly better off than the other two.
Kong Tianxu turned and began his desperate sprint. From the gap in the middle of the Elemental Creed sword where it connected to the bracers, a small cannon barrel emitted a wisp of blue smoke.
He just released a dual-attribute energy wave from here, which, along with a compressed solar storm domain, struck the Soul King and instantly detonated, unleashing a wide-range attack approaching the seventh ring level.
As for his second soul skill, it comes from a special soul beast called the Sun Worm, which has a cultivation of five thousand years and is a powerful worm king that has mutated to the wind attribute.
Even in the Sun and Moon Royal Family, which inherits the Sun Martial Soul, the soul rings of such soul beasts are extremely rare, because the danger level of the place where the Sun Worm is located can be compared with that of the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest.
However, with his grandfather by his side protecting him throughout, that soul-hunting journey was not much different from a picnic. He easily obtained this powerful area-of-effect soul skill, unlike the dramatic events of this trip.
This is the Douluo Continent, where the strong are respected. Kong Tianxu's lips curled into a cold smile. Although it was his first time killing someone, he felt no strange emotions. Instead, he became even calmer, quickly considering his next move.
Although he had broken through the Xuanming Coffin by using the advanced version of his first soul skill, the Mad Demon Lightning Flash, and reduced the enemy's numbers by almost instantaneous speed, his own situation remained precarious. Putting aside everything else, he had no confidence whatsoever in facing Xu Yunxiao alone in a head-on confrontation.
