Black! Black! Black! Black! Black!

"How is this possible? Five ten-thousand-year soul rings?"

The black-robed Soul Sage turned pale with fright when he saw the five black rings around Fang Xuan's body. He looked as if he had seen a ghost and was extremely shocked.

The most standard soul ring configuration for a Soul King was two yellow, two purple, and one black.

However, all five of Fang Xuan's soul rings were ten thousand-year soul rings. This was simply too shocking.

Five ten-thousand-year soul rings. This meant that Fang Xuan's strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Soul King's. This guy is too abnormal.

The black-robed Soul King's face was as gloomy as water, and the killing intent in his heart skyrocketed. The stronger Fang Xuan was, the stronger the killing intent in his heart grew. He had already made up his mind to kill Fang Xuan today.

When the five soul rings were activated, power surged through his limbs and bones like a tsunami, almost bursting out of his body.

Fang Xuan let out a long roar, and his black hair danced wildly. This was the first time he had unleashed his full strength since becoming a Soul King. He was extremely carefree, and his powerful aura swept out like a storm, causing the ground beneath his feet to tremble.

Over the past month, he had accumulated a lot of chances to draw his blade through the tournament. He had also drawn many items that could increase the cultivation of his soul rings. He had directly upgraded his first two purple rings to ten-thousand-year black rings!

Three days ago, Fang Xuan had already reached the luxurious configuration of all his ten-thousand-year soul rings. He was completely ahead of the younger generation of geniuses. Now, even if he were to meet an elder, he wouldn't lose out.

This was the reason why he dared to challenge a Soul Sage.

"Die"

Fang Xuan's eyes flickered with a cold light. He roared, and his right hand quickly reached for his waist. He pulled out a ten-foot-long jet-black blade light. It tore

through the fog and cleansed the void as it charged towards the black-robed Soul Sage.

"Hmph, insignificant skill"

The black-robed Soul Sage snorted coldly. There was a look of contempt in his eyes, and his seven soul rings shone brightly. Yellow, purple, and black colors intertwined, making him look like a god who had descended from the heavens. He was holy and dignified.

Boom.

He threw a punch that was incomparably domineering, forcefully shattering the blade light that Fang Xuan had pulled out. Boundless light swirled in the air.

"So what if you have five ten thousand year soul rings? You're just a small Soul King. You're just laughable and in front of me, Fang Xuan! You will die today"

The black-robed Soul Sage roared furiously as he quickly unleashed his martial soul. A gigantic and ferocious Dark Demon Tiger appeared on the surface of his body. Its eyes were ice-cold, and there was a bloodred stripe on its forehead that formed the word 'King'.

Billowing demonic energy erupted from the tiger's body as it released an extremely frightening and cold aura.

This Martial Spirit was called the Hell Demonic Tiger. It was an extremely rare top-notch Martial Spirit of the Dark Attribute. It was like a demonic beast from hell. It was extremely evil and powerful.

It wasn't surprising that someone who could cultivate to the level of a Soul Sage possessed a top-ranked martial soul.

"Fang Xuan! Go to hell"

The black-robed Soul Sage waved his Tiger Demon Fist as he charged towards Fang Xuan with boundless killing intent.

"Die"

Fang Xuan was unusually calm. His black hair danced in the wind as he brandished his blade to meet his opponent. He started to fight with a Soul Sage. Soul power surged as a gale raged.

"Massacre Blade Aura"

With a low roar, blood-red Massacre Blade Aura ignited from the black blade. It was like a demonic blood-red flame that burned wildly. The void distorted slightly at this moment as formless ripples spread out.

The Massacre Blade Aura increased the speed and power of drawing the blade by a hundred percent.

Fang Xuan's eyes were cold. He didn't hesitate to unleash his Massacre Blade Aura against a Soul Sage.

His fighting strength increased tremendously, and he could see the blade tearing through the air. The formless ripples caused by the slash were like sparks flying in the air as they spread out wildly.

A strong feeling arose spontaneously.

"Boom boom boom."

Following this, thunderous sounds rang out from his body. His entire body was bathed in bluish-purple lightning. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was fully awakened.

It swallowed and spat out lightning. It roared ferociously in his dantian and crazily transmitted the power of lightning to him.

The Massacre Blade Aura and the power of lightning fused. Fang Xuan's aura reached its peak. His eyes were full of charm, and every strand of his sparkling hair was surrounded by lightning. It was as if the Thunder God had descended.

"Thunderous Dragon Flash"

His body suddenly flashed and turned into a bolt of blue lightning. He mysteriously disappeared from where he was and suddenly reappeared in front of the black-robed

Soul Sage. He slashed his blade towards the latter.

"Third soul skill: Demonic Tiger's Roar"

His third soul ring lit up, and a pitch-black wave of light shot out from the black-robed Soul Sage's palm. It contained the power of destruction as it crazily rushed towards Fang Xuan.

"Ah …"

Fang Xuan roared. Lightning surged from his body, and his Lightning Blade tore through the sky. It was domineering as it shattered the black wave of light. Furthermore, it was aimed at the black-robed Soul Sage's head as it slashed down.

"How is this possible?! A puny Soul King has broken my soul skill"

The black-robed Soul Sage's face was ashen. His eyes were full of shock. He looked at the Massacre Blade that was slashing towards him. A tinge of fear rose in his heart, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

He was a Soul Sage, but he had no choice but to retreat and avoid the attack of a Soul King.

This was a humiliation that couldn't be washed away for a seven-ringed Soul Sage.

However, when the black-robed Soul Sage stomped his feet on the ground and was about to retreat, he suddenly realized that he couldn't move. It was as if some mysterious power had frozen him in place. He couldn't move at all. A look of horror flashed across his eyes. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on?"

Bluesilver Killing Array.

After using Thunderous Dragon Flash to break the black-robed Soul Sage's attack, Fang Xuan immediately unleashed his Bluesilver Domain. He forcefully sealed the black-robed Soul Sage's movements. After that, he raised his Massacre Blade and slashed down at the Soul Sage.

"Boom"

The black blade descended from the sky like a bolt of lightning. It ruthlessly struck the black-robed Soul Sage's body. The violent lightning and the Massacre Blade's aura exploded together and sent the Soul Sage flying.

"Ah …"

The black-robed Soul Sage screamed miserably. His entire body was charred black by the lightning. Blood dripped from his body as he was sent flying. He crashed heavily onto the street thirteen meters away. Even the bluestone tiles on the street were smashed into a deep crater.

"Whew"

After sending the black-robed Soul Sage flying, Fang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. He was extremely excited, and his eyes sparkled with excitement.

A Soul Sage.

He was a Soul Sage. Now, he had been sent flying by him. Although he hadn't been able to kill the Soul Sage, this achievement was enough to make him proud.

Once upon a time, he was as weak as an ant when he faced a Soul Sage. He could only be trampled on, and he couldn't resist at all. But now, he was qualified to fight a Soul Sage.

Fang Xuan felt extremely proud as he stared at the black-robed Soul Sage who had fallen to the ground. Killing intent surged in his eyes. He lifted his black blade and strode forward. He wanted to kill the Soul Sage in one fell swoop.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it … "

Roars filled with hatred rang out one after another. The black-robed Soul Sage slowly crawled up from the ground. His eyes were bloodshot as he furiously locked onto Fang Xuan. He said in a deep voice, "Fang Xuan, you've completely infuriated me. I'm going to tear you to pieces today"

His seventh soul ring quickly lit up after he finished speaking. A beam of black, demonic light was released and filled the entire street. It was as if the entire world had been enveloped in darkness.

"Seventh soul skill: Demonic Tiger True Body"

At this moment, the black-robed Soul Sage finally unleashed a powerful soul skill that only Soul Sages had — Martial Soul True Body. An extremely terrifying aura was unleashed.

Martial Soul True Body.

This was a soul skill that belonged only to Soul Sages. Once they released their Martial Soul True Bodies, their offensive strength would increase by a hundred percent.

Some powerful Martial Soul True Bodies could even increase their offensive strength by two hundred percent. All soul skills below Rank 70 would be multiplied, and their strength would be amplified without limit.

Rank 70 was a watershed in the world of soul masters.

Only Soul Sages above Rank 70 could possess Martial Soul True Bodies. This was also the gap between ordinary soul masters and Soul Sages that was difficult to cross.

"Roar! Roar! Roar! ="

The Demonic Tiger roared ferociously.

The black-robed Soul Sage disappeared. In his place was a terrifying Demonic Tiger of Hell. It roared furiously.

Fang Xuan felt a chill in his heart. His expression gradually turned serious …
