"Yue Guan, the soul beast king has awakened and vanished from sight,"
Gui Mei said grimly. "We shouldn't waste any more time on him. Don't let your personal grudge interfere with the Pope's orders."
Yue Guan clenched his jaw and forcefully circulated his soul power, expelling the poisonous blood from his body. His complexion paled further.
"Then let's deal with this old poison together first."
His voice was serious—he had clearly made up his mind.
Gui Mei met his gaze without hesitation.
"It's about time we showed this old poison some humiliation."
"Martial Soul Fusion—Dark Eclipse!"
Their furious roars echoed as the fusion began.
A silver flame erupted from Gui Mei's body, soaring into the sky.
At the same time, a radiant golden flame burst from Yue Guan.
Silver and gold intertwined, creating a dazzling, awe-inspiring scene.
Nine soul rings on each of their bodies flared in unison, illuminating the world like a dreamscape.
High in the air, the two clasped hands.
All eighteen soul rings merged into a colossal dual-colored halo that surged toward Dugu Bo.
The halo rapidly expanded into a massive, hundred-meter-wide ring of gold and silver, its brilliance so intense it seemed to dye the heavens and earth.
And then—something astonishing happened.
On the ground, those still frozen in place by the battle's chaos couldn't even react before they were caught in the field.
Within the vast radius of the ring, all movement stopped.
"These two have no sense of honor!"
Dugu Bo tried to retreat but found it was too late.
A wave of golden-silver light swept across him, and his body locked in place.
In this domain, all actions and soul skills of enemies were suspended.
The skill was powerful—but had one critical flaw: Yue Guan and Gui Mei would also be immobilized.
"Damn it! Feng'er, let go!"
Lin Ye and Lin Feng quickly released their hold just before the Flame Beast King could burst from the lava.
They darted to the side, submerging into the molten sea.
If anyone saw them, it could mean death.
The Flame Beast King emerged with a furious bellow.
But before it could celebrate its escape, a brilliant golden light erupted in the sky.
Sensing something terribly wrong, the Flame Beast King tried to dive back into the lava.
But just as it turned—
The beam struck its body.
Its tail and body froze in an instant, only the head still submerged.
Lin Feng stared, stunned.
Its massive head twisted in agony, deep pupils locked with his.
He blinked, then broke into joyous laughter.
"Haha! Talk about a plot twist!"
"I thought the Flame Beast King escaping meant we'd lost everything—who knew Dark Eclipse would stop it cold?!"
"Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, my lucky stars! Of all times to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, they chose now! It's like they're handing me the Fire Crystal on a silver platter!"
Elated, Lin Feng called out,
"Father! Yan'er! Now's our chance!"
"Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo are right above us—they'll send people down soon."
"We have to get that Fire Crystal before they do!"
Without delay, the dragon and serpent pair unleashed their full soul power, burning at the Fire Crystal embedded in the soul beast's forehead.
In just a few seconds—they succeeded.
Lin Feng turned with a grin.
"But… Grandfather's still up there," Dugu Yan said worriedly. "He's fighting them alone—what if…"
"Don't worry," Lin Ye stepped forward to reassure her.
"Your grandfather will be fine."
"Yan'er, don't forget—Grandfather is aligned with the Heaven Dou Imperial family. Spirit Hall wouldn't dare kill him openly."
"Our priority now is to retreat."
"If we wait until those two recover from the fusion backlash, we won't get another chance."
"You're right, Lin Feng," Dugu Yan nodded firmly.
"We can't be a burden to Grandpa."
Without further hesitation, the trio quickly fled into the depths of the magma.
Though most people were immobilized, their eyes could still move—and all turned toward the eruption.
"What is that… the Flame Beast King?!"
Soul Kings and Soul Elders, frozen in place, stared in astonishment.
"To have the Flame Beast King right in front of me—and be unable to move a muscle!"
Liu Erlong gritted her teeth, helpless.
She thought of her time with Yu Xiaogang, of what might have been.
Dugu Bo, still trapped, was equally shocked.
Could they really steal the treasure before his eyes?
Through the shimmering domain, Yue Guan and Gui Mei saw the Flame Beast King frozen in place.
"Old Ghost! This is divine luck!"
"To think the Flame Beast King would pop out just as we activated the fusion skill—perfection!"
"The Pope's orders are practically complete!"
Yue Guan beamed with glee.
Gui Mei's cold voice echoed through the massive ring,
"Yan. Your opportunity has come. Go."
The group below understood clearly—once Yue Guan and Gui Mei's soul power ran out, the domain would end.
They had only moments to act.
Racing across the ground like dragonflies on water, they reached the beast's frozen body.
Yan stepped forward, but froze.
No matter how hard he tried, the Flame Beast King's body wouldn't budge.
Then—he noticed the burly man standing nearby.
The Fire Leopard Sect's sect master.
"You! Pull this thing out for me!"
Yan jabbed a finger at Huo Yanbao.
Is this brat talking to me?
You think I can move while I'm frozen?!
Huo Yanbao stared in disbelief.
