Chapter 1161: Xiuxiu‘s Eighth Soul Skill |
TL: GoldenLung
Bai Xiuxiu had no intention of fighting the battle axe head-on. Her footwork shifted, and she gracefully wove through the snowflakes like a dancer. In the nick of time, she silently slipped past the side of the axe and appeared before Wang Yushan like a phantom. She thrust her dragon spear, not at Wang Yushan, but into the air. A deep purple line of light followed the tip of the dragon spear, tracing an arc in the sky.
Seeing her rush over, Wang Yushan raised her axe to strike while spinning her body to catch the returning wheel-sized axe, turning into a metal storm lunging at Bai Xiuxiu. But a silent suction force appeared. As Bai Xiuxiu’s dragon spear traced its path, the deep purple lines carried a strange suction force that acted upon Wang Yushan; even her battle axe could not sever those sticky, cloying deep purple lines. The deep purple lines did not directly harm her, only pulling at her body. Her spinning speed did not decrease, but her attack direction shifted slightly. Bai Xiuxiu’s footwork seemed slow but was fast. She kept dodging, leaping, advancing, or retreating, always staying around her opponent but never letting her close in. More and more deep purple lines emerged from her dragon spear, continuously pulling at Wang Yushan and preventing her attacks from landing. This strange spectacle quickly drew the attention of many onlookers.
Many knew Wang Yushan‘s strength; her frenzied aggression was something many dragon clansmen were unwilling to face. But the current situation seemed peculiar indeed; the usually dominant Wang Yushan was being led around by the nose. Bai Xiuxiu seemed to be dancing around her, yet whenever the battle axe was about to strike, Bai Xiuxiu would anticipate it and lightly land in another spot, causing the attack to miss.
After a sustained period of assault, Wang Yushan sensed something wrong. She realized her body was growing heavier and stiffer, the surrounding temperature was continuously dropping, and the deep purple lines scattered around her were multiplying, affecting her more and more.
Not good; her opponent excels at control!
Wang Yushan was highly experienced in battle, and coming from a military background, she was decisive. Sensing trouble, she reacted immediately.
Her spinning body stopped abruptly, and she raised both axes before her. With a roar, her dragon energy surged wildly, and an iron-black radiance bloomed from her body.
Everyone knew this signaled the unleashing of a powerful move. That pure energy rapidly expanded, pushing back the deep purple lines surrounding her. Bai Xiuxiu‘s gaze sharpened, the light on her body’s surface deepening. Both her eyes turned pitch black in an instant. She continued tracing circles with her dragon spear, sending lines of light towards Wang Yushan. She seemed unaware that her opponent was about to unleash a mighty attack.
In an instant, this terrifying axe-blade storm engulfed the entire third battle zone.
One should know that even for an Higher Dragon comparable to a titled Douluo, unleashing such a field-covering attack within a battle zone this large consumed astronomical energy. Such an attack must also retain sufficient power. And at this moment, that was exactly what Wang Yushan did, unreservedly. Staking everything on one strike.
She knew her situation. What she feared most was being controlled. Once controlled, her dragon energy would inevitably be exhausted first. She wasn‘t afraid of her opponent flying, as her axe-blade storm could also target airborne foes. This was her desperate gamble; after this move, she would be exhausted. Detecting that her opponent was gradually controlling her and likely had the attribute advantage, she didn’t hesitate to launch this assault. But an even stranger sight unfolded before everyone‘s eyes.
The moment the axe-blade storm erupted, the deep purple lines suddenly spun violently, stacking together before being devoured by the storm. Soon, onlookers noticed a vortex forming within the axe-blade storm that had swallowed Bai Xiuxiu. Inside the vortex, deep purple lines flickered, pulling the axe-blade shadows into a rapid spin. At the center of the vortex appeared a graceful figure.
Abyssal Frost Demon Dragon, Eighth Soul Skill, Abyssal Devour!
The axe-blade shadows faded away, revealing the figure within. The deep purple light spinning around Bai Xiuxiu grew ever stronger, and an invisible suction force brought whistling winds to the entire third battle zone. At this moment, she was no longer a goddess but a true demoness, a demoness surrounded by demonic light. Her opponent gasped heavily.
Wang Yushan‘s eyes were filled with disbelief. As the unleasher of the axe-blade storm, she knew better what had just happened. Her own attack had been pulled and controlled by her opponent. The axe-blade storm was like a marionette, capable of harming everything within its covered area except her opponent. The control had started the moment Bai Xiuxiu made her move. Ice Demon Snow combined with Abyssal Devour, coupled with Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track steps, allowed Bai Xiuxiu to traverse the arena, dodging all powerful attacks in an instant. Using the subtlety of Abyssal Devour, she pulled at the unavoidable attacks, slowly wearing down her opponent like a dull knife cutting through meat, gradually entangling her deeper.
Wang Yushan felt as if she had fallen into a swamp. She could keep moving forward in the swamp, but she only sank deeper. Her final burst destroyed the swamp, but the swamp also neutralized all her offensive power, exhausting her completely. It was a classic battle of control. With her powerful control abilities, Bai Xiuxiu overcame her enemy. From start to finish, she was like a small boat tossed in a storm, yet she never capsized and ultimately reached the other shore.
Few had paid attention to this match, but all who watched her entire performance could not help but show surprise. This Goddess of Fortune was seemingly not so simple. When Bai Xiuxiu returned to Lan Xuanyu‘s side after winning, her face was pale, her breathing rapid, but her eyes shone with undisguised excitement.
In that fight, she had used Abyssal Devour for the first time. This eighth soul skill, when she had just broken through to eight rings, could only be used after activating her Martial Soul Avatar. It was a Great Beast level soul skill, the former ultimate secret art of the Demon Queen, the Abyssal Frost Demon Dragon.
Yet, just now, in this battle against a formidable opponent, Bai Xiuxiu was pleasantly surprised to find she could control this soul skill with such precision.
Through the Dragon Force Tempering, she already knew she could use Abyssal Devour with her original body, but controlling it to this extent was unexpected. She had entered this match prepared to win at all costs, but the cost turned out to be far lower than she had imagined.
Despite her inner fury, she remained remarkably calm, guiding with her dragon spear, amplified by the Divine Dragon Armor, bringing out Abyssal Devour‘s full potential. Using Abyssal Devour, she controlled the entire battle, steering her opponent according to her will until she was forced to unleash her ultimate move. And all the power within that ultimate move that could harm her was converted by Abyssal Devour into her own defense.
