"Can you stall it?"
Ling Chen felt a flicker of worry in his heart.
The Purple Soul Emperor did not speak but looked at Chen Shu. In its vision, the sky-filling purple light dots continued to converge towards the latter's mind.
"I must be faster!"
A decisive look flashed in its eyes. Under its control, the sky-filling purple light dots instantly became active.
Initially, it had planned to 'boil a frog in warm water,' taking two to three days to invade Chen Shu's mind.
But now, the attacks from the twin dogs were too fearsome. Even it was not confident it could last that long.
Boom, boom, boom!
Just then, the six twin dogs teleported around the Purple Soul Emperor, forming a pincer.
"..."
Ling Chen's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the six twin dogs' intelligent eyes, he felt an unprecedented pressure.
He had never imagined being surrounded by six twin dogs...
At this moment, he couldn't help but recall a saying: The probability of a person being killed by a dog is not high, but it's not zero...
Boom, boom, boom!
At this moment, the eyes of the six twin dogs glowed, and they spat out skills.
Skills of various attributes, such as lightning, frost, and fire, bombarded them.
What was even more astonishing was that the skills released by each clone did not weaken when they hit each other; instead, they seemed to be strengthened.
Skill combination was a mandatory course for every beast tamer, and Chen Shu had naturally reached a level of perfection.
Boom!
The Purple Soul Emperor's gaze remained unchanged. The soul power within its body surged, blocking skill after skill.
Although it was still unharmed, its strength was constantly being consumed, and it could not maintain this indefinitely.
"So troublesome..."
The Purple Soul Emperor cursed under its breath and instantly let out a fierce howl.
However, what was supposed to be a large-scale control skill had no effect on the twin dogs, not even controlling them for a second.
"Dominant Body Skill..."
The Purple Soul Emperor looked at the six twin dogs, feeling a sense of helplessness.
Boom!
In its helplessness, it could only unleash a massive amount of soul power, like a purple giant wave, sweeping across a ten-thousand-meter radius.
The six twin dogs teleported outside the skill's range, silently waiting for the skill to end.
After a while, the purple giant wave dissipated, revealing the Purple Soul Emperor's body.
The twin dogs teleported back again, continuing their usual routine of depleting the Purple Soul Emperor's strength.
Now, facing the siege of six twin dogs, the Purple Soul Emperor was under immense pressure. The soul shields it conjured were broken one after another, and it was immediately suppressed.
"Can stall it for now..."
Facing the continuous assault, the Purple Soul Emperor felt a slight sense of relief.
Time gradually passed.
The battle between both sides was still ongoing, with no sign of stopping.
Despite being constantly beaten, the Purple Soul Emperor felt a hint of excitement in its heart!
Time was almost up!
Just then,
Chen Shu's eyes narrowed, and he said calmly, "Are you trying to stall for time?"
The opponent had been persistently defending, with no counter-measures. Continuing the fight would only put them at a disadvantage.
Yet, the Purple Soul Emperor showed no signs of anxiety, quietly waiting for something, which naturally aroused suspicion.
"..."
The Purple Soul Emperor's heart leaped, but it remained composed on the surface.
"But you don't seem to be able to hold on much longer."
Chen Shu smiled faintly. The six twin dogs teleported to different positions again, completely surrounding the Purple Soul Emperor.
Terrifying elemental power permeated the air, laced with an aura of ultimate destruction!
Another familiar feeling!
"Damn it, is the ultimate move coming again?"
The Purple Soul Emperor's gaze was filled with solemnity. It couldn't help but recall the colorful light pillar from before!
Although it wasn't the primary target back then, it could still sense the aura of death emanating from it.
"Final blow!"
Chen Shu muttered inwardly, a resolute look in his eyes.
The effects of the twin dogs were about to wear off, and he no longer had any ultimate berserk potions on him.
"Little Chen, give me another bottle of medicine!"
Just then, the little spirit also sensed Chen Shu's thoughts and decided to take a final gamble.
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. He fed the little spirit a bottle of enhanced berserk potion, maintaining its King-level strength.
"Little brother, give your big brother some face and kill this evil creature directly!"
The little spirit's eyes were filled with brilliant white-green light. Its aura surged significantly, breaking through its previous level and reaching the strength of a King-level three-star.
Its body also changed, becoming extremely tall and slender, transforming from a loli into a mature woman.
However, the only thing that remained unchanged was its domineering demeanor...
Swish, swish, swish—
White light dots fell like a torrential rain, all entering the bodies of the six twin dogs.
In an instant, their already fearsome elemental powers changed again, scaling up to King-level peak, or even higher...
"..."
The Purple Soul Emperor's heart contracted violently. It could actually smell an aura of death.
"I'm going to die, I can't hold back anymore!"
While the twin dogs were being empowered, it also made its counter-measures.
The Purple Soul Emperor spread its hands, and from the ground below, wisps of purple energy floated out, thousands upon thousands of them, dense and numerous, all integrating into the Purple Soul Emperor's body.
In an instant, its soul power also changed, faintly seeming to break through the King-level restriction...
"Hmm?"
Chen Shu's brows furrowed. He looked at the ground below, where each wisp of purple energy was like a soul. He could even hear the resentful and unwilling roars.
"Do you know why I chose the Lan Kingdom as the battlefield?"
At this moment, the Purple Soul Emperor was enveloped by surging soul power, instantly recovering to its peak state, even heading towards a stronger realm.
"Eight hundred years ago, the Heaven's Mandate Ancient Kingdom was located on this continent, and the Lan Kingdom was our ancestral land!"
Ling Chen's voice overlapped with the Purple Soul Emperor's, creating a strange effect.
"The Heaven's Mandate Ancient Kingdom fought its way here. The ancestral land is filled with the souls of the deceased. Their souls did not dissipate but were all suppressed underground by the Ancient Emperor, in the hope of using them one day..."
The Purple Soul Emperor sighed and said, "Unfortunately, that old ghost's strength was too terrifying. The Ancient Emperor's preparations were of no use..."
"..."
Chen Shu's expression was calm. He now understood.
After all, it was Ling Chen who set the location, so having a home-field advantage was natural.
However, he felt no fear. The arrow was already nocked and ready to be fired!
The strength of both sides continued to increase, forming a stalemate, making it impossible to determine who was stronger or weaker.
The Purple Soul Emperor continuously absorbed the souls sealed by the ancient kingdom in the past, reaching an unprecedented level of strength.
Meanwhile, the twin dogs, aided by the little spirit's various skills, also saw their combat power continuously climbing...
