Having steadied herself with great effort, Cai Yue'er felt severe pain in her limbs and organs and couldn't help but cough violently...
"Cough, cough, to think she could counterattack while controlling that mass of demonic fog, the Dark Emperor really hasn't used her true power!"
The Dark Emperor caressed the black shield in her hand, "Don't be so surprised, we Abyssal Emperors are born with immense spiritual power, incomparable to you humans!"
Cai Yue'er wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, as the seventh soul Ring under her feet lit up...
Martial Soul True Body!
Powerful Soul Power surged out, even forcibly projecting a silver moon in the sky above, its light enveloping this piece of heaven and earth!
Her entire appearance, her features, seemed to grow decades younger...
The Dark Emperor raised an eyebrow and said indifferently, "So you're finally using your Martial Soul True Body, that must mean you've reached your limit, eh!"
Humans have conducted research on Abyssal Emperors; naturally, Abyssal Emperors have also studied humans...
The conclusion they came to was that the greatest threat to abyssal creatures was the seventh soul skill, the Martial Soul True Body!
Cai Yue'er pursed her lips and said earnestly, "My Martial Soul True Body is different from other Soul Masters. If you underestimate it, you will die!"
However, the Dark Emperor didn't believe her at all and sneered, "I'm going to die? Hahaha, what gave you the illusion that I've exercised my full strength!"
She had yet to even release her true form!
If she were to truly use her full power, Cai Yue'er would have long been fooled to death by her, without even getting the chance to use her Martial Soul True Body!
Cai Yue'er didn't explain further, deciding instead to let her opponent experience it for herself...
As expected, with the light continuing to fall...
The Dark Emperor finally noticed something amiss, looking down at her own arm that was now glowing with a silver light, "What's happening, why has my power been stripped away!"
And moreover, with every action she took, her physical and magical powers were draining at twice the rate!
Only then did Cai Yue'er speak, "This is my Domain, which can forcibly weaken all of an opponent's attributes within the range of my Martial Soul!"
The Dark Emperor furrowed her brows, "Domain?"
What is this thing, why have I never heard of it before!
Cai Yue'er then tapped her head suddenly, "Right, you probably don't know what a Soul Master's Domain is, do you? Because this ability can only be used by the top powerhouses among Soul Masters!"
And the humans that the Abyssal Emperors studied were all Soul Masters below the Soul Sage Level!
The Dark Emperor scoffed at this, "Hmph, no matter what this Domain is, it's futile in the face of absolute power!"
A mere Domain, do you really think it can defeat me?
Having said that, she condensed a slender, black Longsword in her hand, which seemed both strange and mysterious!
Cai Yue'er didn't argue, she simply stated, "Is that so? Then let reality do the talking!"
The previously vanished moon blade reformed, what was different this time was that it had changed in size, and there was some kind of symbol present on the hilt...
Their gazes locked, they both charged forward and swung their weapons...
"Boom!!"
This time, they were evenly matched, neither side showing any sign of backing down...
Cai Yue'er spoke sternly, "How about that?"
The Dark Emperor remained expressionless, "Just a little increase in strength. Aren't you afraid of being devoured if you get too close to me?"
Upon hearing this, Cai Yue'er seemed to have anticipated something and immediately gave up the standoff, retreating explosively backward...
As expected, right where she had been standing, two massive claws condensed from Black Mist materialized out of nothing, instantly tearing through space...
If she hadn't left in time, she would have likely suffered heavy damage!!
...
Wu Longkong clenched his palm, "Fifth Soul Skill, Frost Speech Ice Wheel."
Countless shards of ice consolidated into a Giant Wheel some tens of meters across, rapidly rolling towards the Abyssal Emperor to shred her...
Upon hearing this, the latter brought her two arms together, a massive whirlpool formed in front of her, sucking in the Ice Wheel...
```
The attack failed, and Wu Changkong muttered to himself, "This move, it seems familiar!"
The Abyssal Emperor responded, "The attack's strength is not bad, but it still can't hurt me!"
However, Wu Changkong arched his eyebrows, "Oh? Why don't you take a look behind you?"
"What??"
Just then, the icy Giant Wheel that had disappeared suddenly materialized from nowhere right behind the former, hitting its mark precisely...
It dragged the gigantic body constantly outwards, slamming it straight into the rock wall...
Struggling to walk out, the Abyssal Emperor fixed his gaze on Wu Changkong, "How did you do that? That ice wheel should have been devoured by my power!"
Wu Changkong said expressionlessly, "That was just your illusion. A second before it entered the vortex, I had already melted it into ice vapor, which then reconverged behind you!"
He remembered the first lesson he taught Tang Wulin was to fully control the changes of his soul skill!
The Abyssal Emperor moved his body slightly and, finding no injuries, spoke again, "Indeed very impressive, but again, it doesn't work on me!"
This time, Wu Changkong didn't reply. A soul skill beneath his feet began to flicker...
Frost Slash!
A massive Sword Qi charged forth...
The former, now familiar with this move, swung his thick fists to meet it...
"Such attacks, I've already seen through them..."
But when the Sword Qi struck its arm...
The complexion suddenly changed dramatically...
Because the mundane Sword Qi seemed to resonate with a certain power, and it burst forth with a ton of force!
"Puchi!" The arm was neatly severed and flung away...
The Abyssal Emperor was stunned...
In disbelief, he stared at his arm lying on the ground and muttered, "This... how is this possible!"
This move, it shouldn't have been this powerful!
Last time, he had easily smashed it!!
Wu Changkong certainly noticed his confusion, but did not feel any sympathy and launched another attack...
The truth was simple, the real purpose of the Frost Speech Ice Wheel was just to introduce the chill into the Abyssal Emperor's arm...
Then using the Frost Slash to resonate the two chills, attacking from both inside and outside, the unsuspecting former could not escape the fate of a severed arm!
...
"Boom!"
The head of a federation powerhouse burst under a punch, blood scattering all over the ground...
Licking the bloodstain on his fist, the Abyssal Emperor sneered, "Heh, this is a human powerhouse? Not even worth one strike!"
But before it could relish the moment, it felt a chill at its neck and its field of vision began to drop naturally...
Last of all, it landed on the legs of a certain human...
It murmured in a whisper, "How... could this happen!"
Xie Xie spat at the lifeless body, "Peh, all this pretense for such little strength? After I cut off your head, stand up if you can!"
As an agile-attack class Soul Master, he naturally wouldn't foolishly fight head-on with an Abyssal Emperor but used a clone to buy time while his real body hunted other prey!
And this was already the second Abyssal Emperor he had stealthily beheaded!
