Even the Ice Meteor condensed from Huo Yuhao's Ultimate Ice was partially corroded in a short amount of time.
However, only less than one percent was corroded.
The enormous Ice Meteor fell down.
The terrifying destructive force instantly shattered Wang Xiaolei's defense.
Cling!
A Fifth-Level Invincible Shield was triggered by Wang Xiaolei, shielding the remaining damage from this strike.
Nonetheless, the Invincible Shield that originally could last for three seconds shattered immediately after blocking this strike.
It had already endured the maximum limit of damage it could withstand.
The power of Huo Yuhao's strike was terrifying.
Wang Xiaolei felt the threat of death. If it weren't for the Invincible Shield, he definitely would have been dead just now. He looked towards Huo Yuhao's direction, and besides a cold gaze, there was no sign of weakness from depletion.
Wang Xiaolei felt a bit desperate inside.
There's only one Invincible Shield.
"I—"
"Still want to curse?" Huo Yuhao gave a cold snort, and before Wang Xiaolei could continue, he unleashed his Fifth Soul Skill.
Wang Xiaolei was instantly enveloped by Ultimate Ice, forming into an ice sculpture.
Inside the sculpture, Wang Xiaolei's life force was instantly frozen, his life force depleted in an instant.
Unbreakable War Saint immediately came beside Wang Xiaolei, carefully sensing the life aura within the Ultimate Ice.
"Sigh, he's dead."
While the death of someone during his role as a referee made Unbreakable War Saint quite dissatisfied, the one dead was an Evil Soul Master, and furthermore, Wang Xiaolei, such a genius among Evil Soul Masters who had harmed countless innocent lives, made him internally feel a sense of delight.
One can only say, mixed feelings.
"Damn it!"
"Bastard!"
In the preparation area, Zhang Peng's eyes, filled with killing intent, turned towards Huo Yuhao.
Yan Feng even stood up, similarly not hiding his killing intent towards Huo Yuhao.
He already eagerly wished to personally step onto the stage and kill Huo Yuhao.
Though seemingly defeated easily by Snow Empress, Yan Feng, as a Soul Saint of the Ice Bone Dragon Martial Soul, was an Evil Soul Master, his combat prowess at the same level was already extraordinary, also a True Dragon Martial Soul, and he had even slain Soul Fighter-level Soul Masters.
The power that Huo Yuhao displayed now was already a very strong level among Soul Saints.
But to Yan Feng, it still belonged to a role he could effortlessly crush.
Yet this fellow dared to provoke like this.
However, Huo Yuhao's current performance also indicated that it might not be his strongest, hence Yan Feng was not too impulsive.
Su Yu secretly sighed.
"Yuhao still rushed it, killing so easily twice, it might scare off the opposition."
Not according to their initial plan.
Yet he could understand Huo Yuhao's sentiment, facing opponents who were Evil Soul Masters, was difficult to suppress the deep-seated killing intent towards these Evil Soul Masters.
On the platform, Huo Yuhao also knew that his performance was not aligned with the plan, but he had his own remedies.
"What, getting angry now? The anger and hatred of those ordinary people you killed, you've yet to feel."
Huo Yuhao conveyed his voice to the rest area using soul power.
"Kid, you're brave." Zhang Peng gritted his teeth, his soul power surged with killing intent, an ominous aura descended.
The audience dared not breathe heavily.
What an evil aura.
On the podium.
Xu Tianran watched the scene, brow furrowed, though inside he felt a sense of secret delight.
This Huo Yuhao should be Mirror Hongchen's disciple, right?
He openly killed an Evil Soul Master on stage like this...
Xu Tianran sneaked a glance at Mirror Hongchen, noticing that Mirror Hongchen seemed not a bit displeased, rather seemed quite pleased?
This is fine.
With the opposition forces against Evil Soul Masters inside the Empire existent, it could weaken the spread of the Holy Spirit Sect, ensuring future plans wouldn't be unwieldy.
...
"Since when did a bunch of Evil Soul Masters dare to show their faces like this?"
"The stink-rat from the gutter, since you've participated in this tournament, don't leave."
Huo Yuhao's voice was loud, extremely arrogant, making a bold statement: "I alone can cut through all of you."
"The stink-rat from the gutter!"
He spoke again, while glancing at the figure shrouded in black robes on the podium.
Meaning was self-evident.
The provocation was crude, yet effective.
Su Yu commented on Huo Yuhao's actions.
However, kid, if you're going to the frontline later, aren't you afraid of being targeted and killed by Evil Soul Masters? Su Yu silently mourned a bit for Huo Yuhao.
"Go, kill him!" Zhang Peng tersely ordered a team member behind him.
Though angry at Huo Yuhao's provocation, he still remained mindful.
First, deplete Huo Yuhao, then let Yan Feng kill him.
...
Huo Yuhao's strength was formidable.
The Ultimate Ice Soul Saint possessed the ability to challenge Titled Douluo single-handedly, and Huo Yuhao had already reached Level 69, the only shortfall from a Soul Saint was due to the amplification brought by the fusion of True Form of the Martial Soul and Soul Rings.
His cultivation far exceeded typical Soul Masters of Extreme Martial Soul, thereby compensating for a portion of the gap.
Overall, he might not possess Titled Douluo Level power, but he certainly had the capability to kill most Soul Douluo.
If coupled with Battle Armor, even Titled Douluo could be slain!
Huo Yuhao's Battle Armor was only Intermediate.
Earlier during training, with large quantities of rare metals used for practice, his Soul Guide level had not seen significant improvement, as he had reached the High-tier Soul Guide realm.
Nonetheless, he did succeed in creating Eighth-Level Soul-guiding Devices.
Just the Battle Armor upgrade hadn't progressed.
Only the Bone Wings, due to their unique nature, were highly spiritual, with the core array enhanced along the innate abilities of the bone wings being slowly adjusted to elevate them to Advanced Battle Armor level in the wing component.
But, only this part had completed the upgrade.
The other parts still remained Intermediate Battle Armor.
...
With Huo Yuhao's bold statement, the audience's emotions were stirred, and under the oppressive evil aura from Zhang Peng, they erupted with fervent enthusiasm.
Unbreakable War Saint was helpless, the protection for Evil Soul Master life had to be paused temporarily.
He focused all his attention on Huo Yuhao.
Protecting Huo Yuhao became his next task.
In this matter of great importance, the Unbreakable War Saint remained clear-minded. Additionally, Huo Yuhao killing an Evil Soul Master on his platform as a referee wasn't necessarily a bad thing.
"Huo Yuhao!"
"Huo Yuhao!"
"Huo Yuhao!"
The resounding cheers echoed in the Great Soul Arena.
Huo Yuhao had already slain four Evil Soul Master Soul Emperors.
His condition was slightly compromised.
However, his complexion showed no change, still maintaining an expression of ease.
The fourth Evil Soul Master Lu Genggeng, whose Martial Soul was Resentment, a type of undead creature, filled with top-tier Evil Martial Soul abilities in speed, attack, and defense.
Coupled with the five Invincible Shields carried by Lu Genggeng, Huo Yuhao expended considerable effort to kill him.
This was also Huo Yuhao's most consuming battle.
"His strength indeed poses the possibility of killing me." Yan Feng felt heavy-hearted inside, clearly sensing Huo Yuhao's might through these four battles.
Especially in the battle against Lu Genggeng, facing Invincible Shields, Huo Yuhao directly employed the most violent and crude methods, shattering Invincible Shields with immense attacks.
Soul Douluo!
His combat power definitely reached Soul Douluo level.
It's fortunate that other team members were sent to deplete this guy's condition first.
...
Unbreakable War Saint's gaze was dazed, looking at Huo Yuhao with a complex expression, unsure how to evaluate him.
Young people nowadays, are they all this fierce?
Is having power remarkable?
Faced with Invincible Shields from the opposing side, you forcibly attack, depleting the Invincible Shield's tolerance limit with a single strike...
Fifth-Level Invincible Shields can withstand any attack below Soul Douluo for three seconds, those crafted finely might last five seconds.
If the attack power reaches Soul Douluo and equals a Soul Douluo's full-strength strike, the Invincible Shield can resist but will heavily draw on the user's soul power, and upon resistance, will shatter.
Lu Genggeng's cultivation reached Soul Emperor Level, even reaching Level 68 in soul power, even if he triggered five Invincible Shields, he was drained dry.
His death was most bizarre, forcibly sucked dry by Invincible Shields.
With soul power inadequate, what was drained were his gathered Resentful Spirits, then his life force was drained.
In his last moments, Lu Genggeng clearly experienced fear, exhaustively seeking the slightest chance of survival unsuccessful, he lacked the life force to sustain.
"Who else?"
