Douluo Continent: The Ruler of Time, Reigning Supreme

Chapter 26 Nirvana Corpse (Please continue reading, thank you!)
Not only Ma Xiaotao, but Zhang Lexuan, Wu Ming and others also looked dazed and their faces turned even paler.

If an ordinary person were here, they would probably have a mental breakdown in an instant and become a madman who only knows fear.

Under the watchful eyes of all who were filled with fear, the figure finally crawled out from underground.

It was a female humanoid figure with a slender build, and her skin was a lifeless, deathly white, as if she had been soaking in water for a long time.

She was wearing tattered clothes that were of indistinguishable age and style.

And her face... was even more terrifying.

The upper half of the face still retained the outline of a human, but the lower half was a bloody mess, as if it had been gnawed by something, leaving only the stark white teeth and part of the jawbone exposed, forming a frozen, ferocious smile.

What was most chilling were her eyes—like two pools of congealed blood, a deep crimson, with no distinction between the whites of her eyes and her pupils, only the purest greed and longing for life.

Having just been resurrected, she has clearly not yet regained her former intelligence and memories; she is now just an empty shell driven by the instinct to devour life.

"Roar--!!!"

A hoarse roar, completely unlike a human voice and seemingly coming from the deepest hell, burst forth from between her exposed teeth and bones.

The next moment, her figure blurred, transforming into a dark afterimage that was difficult to detect with the naked eye, carrying a dense aura of death, and her target was Ma Xiaotao, who was closest to her and whose life force was burning brightly.

Its speed is extremely fast, far exceeding that of ordinary Soul Masters.

Ma Xiaotao's pupils contracted sharply, and it felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen at that moment.

The shadow of death instantly enveloped her. The opponent's speed completely exceeded her reaction limit. She didn't even have time to make any effective defensive or dodge movements. She could only watch helplessly as the pale, sharp hand, wreathed in death energy, pierced straight into her heart.

"You bastard, how dare you?!"

At the critical moment, a furious snort exploded like a thunderclap.

Yan Shaozhe's figure appeared in front of Ma Xiaotao as if he had teleported.

His face was ashen, his eyes filled with anger, and he threw a punch straight out.

This punch contained the immense soul power of a level 95 Super Douluo and the flames of the Phoenix of Light.

A dazzling golden flame enveloped his fist, making it resemble a small sun, which he slammed into the dark afterimage.

"Bang!!!"

A deep, resounding thud, like the beating of a drum, followed.

The dark afterimage flew backward at an even faster speed than it had come, crashing into several large trees before finally coming to a stop.

But Yan Shaozhe's face did not relax; instead, it showed an unprecedented solemnity.

He slowly withdrew his fist, feeling the feedback from it, and his expression darkened.

"What kind of monster is this? Why is its body so hard?"

He felt as if he hadn't struck flesh and blood with that punch, but rather hit a piece of ancient, hardened iron that had been forged over thousands of years.

The force of the recoil made his arm feel slightly numb.

That was definitely not a body of flesh and blood.

This strange entity that suddenly appeared far exceeded his expectations in terms of strength and strangeness.

As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, the pale figure swayed as he stood up again, his scarlet eyes fixed on Yan Shaozhe, his bare teeth snapping open and closing with a sickening "click-clack" sound, as if he had been provoked.

Just as Yan Shaozhe was on high alert, preparing to completely eliminate this strange and powerful enemy, a glint of light flashed in the scarlet eyes of the Nirvana Corpse that was struggling to get up. This light was completely different from the pure greed it had shown before.

It was a moment of bewilderment, followed by pain, and finally transformed into a chaotic rage.

Scattered, fragmented memories surged like a tide over her empty sea of ​​consciousness: the enormous blue bull python, the jet-black giant ape as large as a small mountain, and the azure lightning, all crushed by rocks in agony.

“Ugh…Ah!!!”

She let out a hiss that sounded inhuman, as if she were struggling against some kind of instinct within her.

The next moment, a scorching and violent aura suddenly erupted from her lifeless body.

A huge, phantom-like spirit bird made of flames suddenly unfolded behind her.

That spirit bird was extraordinary, with long tail feathers and an inextinguishable flame burning around it, radiating a powerful aura—it was the top-tier fire attribute martial soul, the Fiery Spirit Kite.

What shocked everyone at Shrek Academy even more was that the nine spirit rings seemed to come alive, rising one by one from beneath her feet.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black.

Two yellow, two purple, five black.

Standard Titled Douluo configuration.

"A Titled Douluo?! How is this possible?!"

Wu Ming gasped in shock, her face filled with horror.

A monster that had just crawled out of the ground, exuding a strong aura of death, was actually a Title Douluo?
This completely overturned their understanding.

Zhang Lexuan's pretty face also turned pale, and she clenched her fists tightly. The scene in front of her was too bizarre.

Ma Xiaotao felt a chill run down her spine; she had just narrowly escaped death after being attacked by a Title Douluo.

Yan Shaozhe's gaze was extremely solemn, and the doubts in his heart reached their peak.

How could a fire-attribute titled Douluo become such an evil inanimate object? Moreover, its physical strength is simply unbelievable.

Having awakened some of its intelligence and memories, the Nirvana Corpse seems to have regained some of its fighting instincts from its previous life, no longer attacking solely based on its beastly intuition.

But her desire for life did not diminish; on the contrary, it became even more intense with the return of her power.

Her bloodshot eyes were fixed on Yan Shaozhe—the one with the most powerful life energy present.

"Wow!"

She let out a sharp cry like a phoenix, her fifth soul ring shone, and a condensed, dark red pillar of fire, carrying corrosive death energy, hurtled towards Yan Shaozhe like a poisonous dragon.

Its power was several times greater than her previous simple pounce.

Yan Shaozhe dared not be negligent. His body blazed with bright flames, and he threw a punch as well. The holy phoenix flames of light collided fiercely with the dark red dead fire, emitting a hissing sound as they annihilated each other.

Fighting breaks out again.

With his profound soul power at level 95 and the characteristics of the Bright Flame, Yan Shaozhe maintained a firm upper hand and suppressed the Nirvana Corpse.

Each of his strikes contained the purifying fire of light, causing the Nirvana Corpse to surge with death energy and emit painful howls.

However, the body of this Nirvana corpse was extremely tough.

Yan Shaozhe's attack landed on her like a heavy hammer striking steel. Although it could knock her back and even break her bones and tendons, the injuries healed rapidly under the dense death aura.

Not to mention, she can also use her martial soul and soul skills from her previous life to fight back. Although she is not very intelligent and her skills are not very effective, the power of her Title Douluo-level soul skills is still not to be underestimated.

Yan Shaozhe was unable to completely destroy it for the time being, and the battle fell into a brief stalemate.
