Chapter 800
Ren Xue
Nine dazzling golden spirit rings surrounded him, each radiating a heart-palpitating pressure. The ninth spirit ring was an extreme gold, with faint sounds of dragon roars and angelic chants intertwined. It was a power that surpassed the Limit Douluo, the pressure of a "demigod".
Zhao Feng stood beside Lin Mo, his Sacred Faith Battle Axe gripped tightly in his hand. The axe blade was covered in intricate runes, which shone brightly under the golden light, radiating intense sacred and faith power. His soul wings were also unfurled, pure gold, each feather as if crafted from fine gold, containing indestructible strength. A thousand years of cultivation had completely materialized his faith power, a golden shield enveloping his body. Upon this shield, countless illusory figures of heroes flickered in and out—the condensed faith of all the fallen warriors over the millennia, the ultimate manifestation of protective power.
The Twin Dragons Suppressing Void Barrier below was already showing huge cracks, and the blue and gold light of the barrier flickered and dimmed constantly, as if it would shatter at any moment. From the cracks, a continuous stream of void creatures poured out. They were of various shapes and sizes. Some were tens of feet tall, like ferocious beasts, their bodies covered with pitch-black scales, spewing highly corrosive void black mist from their mouths; some were small and exquisite, moving like shadows, good at ambushes, and their void power could easily penetrate the defenses of ordinary soul masters; others were half-human and half-beast, wielding weapons formed from void, with formidable combat power, and their eyes were devoid of any emotion, only a desire for destruction.
The most chilling sight was the figure slowly emerging from the depths of the spatial passage. The figure was entirely black, without a fixed form, like a flowing shadow, surrounded by an impenetrable, ethereal black mist. Within the mist, countless scarlet eyes could be vaguely seen, radiating a cold, cruel light. His aura far surpassed that of Lin Mo and Zhao Feng; even his mere presence caused the entire void desert to distort and tremble, the earth to crack, and debris to fly everywhere. Even the soul energy in the air was suppressed by the void power emanating from him, unable to flow.
"Humble ants, is this all the power you've gained after a thousand years of preparation?" The cold, hoarse voice rang out again, devoid of any emotion, yet carrying an overwhelming pressure that exploded in everyone's ears like thunder. Many weaker Soul Masters instantly turned pale, blood spilling from the corners of their mouths. Some were even forced to their knees by the pressure, trembling all over, without even the courage to resist.
This is the Void Sovereign, the true controller of the Void Space. He has existed for tens of thousands of years, witnessing the destruction of countless worlds, his hands stained with the blood of countless lives. His power of nothingness has reached its peak, far surpassing the Void Origin that was sealed away back then. In his eyes, all living beings on the Douluo Continent are merely ants in his eyes. He invaded this land not to rule, but to destroy, to completely transform this vibrant land into a void of purgatory.
Lin Mo's eyes were sharp, and he was not intimidated by the pressure of the Void Sovereign in the slightest. He raised his hand and held up the Angel Heart. The Angel Heart instantly burst out with dazzling golden light. Within the golden light, Qian Renxue's phantom became clearer. She was wearing a pure white angel dress, with a pair of huge angel wings spread out on her back. Her face was gentle but firm, and she exuded pure holy power. It intertwined with Lin Mo's Dragon Emperor power to form an even larger light shield, protecting the Soul Masters below.
"Void Overlord, you have attempted to destroy my Douluo Continent, harm the common people of my continent, and trample on the will of heroes. Today, I, Lin Mo, in the name of the Holy Angel Spirit Abyss Dragon Emperor, with the protective heart of Lady Qian Renxue, and with the will of all heroes as my guide, will utterly defeat you!" Lin Mo's voice was calm and powerful, resounding throughout the entire battlefield, piercing through the void and black mist, and reaching the ears of every Soul Master. Those Soul Masters who had been knocked down by the pressure instantly felt a warm and firm power, and they all stood up, their eyes becoming firm again.
"And there's me, Zhao Feng!" Zhao Feng raised his Sacred Belief Battle Axe high, golden light of faith soaring into the sky, intertwining with Lin Mo's blue-gold pillar of light. "In the name of the Zhenxu Army Commander, in the name of the Dean of the Heroic Academy, in the name of all the Soul Masters who protect the people of the continent, I will fight you to the death! Even if my soul is scattered, I will never let you set foot on the continent!"
"Fight to the death! Never back down!"
"Inherit the will of heroes and protect the people of the mainland!"
Countless Soul Masters roared in unison, their voices shaking the heavens and drowning out the howls of the Void Creatures and the oppressive aura of the Void Ruler. The four Void Suppression Legions had arrived on the battlefield. They stood in neat formation, weapons in hand, radiating unwavering faith and divine power, forming four solid defensive lines that firmly blocked the Void Creatures from their path. The students of the Soul Master Academy, though mostly at the Soul Emperor or Soul Douluo level, showed no fear. They remembered Zhao Feng's teachings and the will of the heroes, releasing their Martial Souls and gathering their Soul Power, preparing to fight the Void Creatures to the death.
The Soul Master legions from various sects arrived one after another. The Clear Sky Sect raised their Clear Sky Hammers high, their bodies swirling with dense Soul Power, each strike capable of shattering several Void Creatures. The Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stood at the rear, unleashing powerful support skills to buff the Soul Masters in front with Soul Power, defense, and attack. The Soul Masters of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan were surrounded by purple lightning, the power of lightning countering the power of the Void, each bolt of lightning purifying large swaths of Void Black Mist and killing several low-level Void Creatures. The Soul Masters of the Spirit Hall (having long since abandoned past grudges and focused on protecting the continent) released their Angelic Martial Souls, echoing Lin Mo's Angelic Power, their holy light converging into a torrent, constantly washing away the Void Black Mist.
The armies of the two great empires also arrived at the battlefield. Although they were not Soul Masters, they wielded specially crafted weapons imbued with divine power, forming neat square formations to fight alongside the Soul Masters. Even when facing powerful void creatures, they did not flinch, using their own flesh and blood to build a solid shield for the Soul Masters. The common people also spontaneously organized themselves, bringing their own concocted healing pills and food to the rear of the battlefield, cheering on the Soul Masters. Their shouts and cheers became the Soul Masters' strongest support.
"You ignorant ants, since you so yearn for death, then I will grant your wish!" The voice of the Void Lord grew colder and colder. He slowly raised his hand, and a dense cloud of black void mist condensed in his pitch-black palm. Within the black mist was a world-destroying power, and countless tiny spatial cracks appeared around the black mist, which was the manifestation of the power of nothingness reaching its extreme.
"Everyone, full defense!" Lin Mo shouted, unleashing the full power of the Angel's Heart. The phantom of the Holy Angel Spirit Abyss Dragon Emperor expanded once more, blotting out the sky and the blue-gold intertwined light enveloped the entire battlefield, forming a massive defensive light shield.
