Zang Xin raised his Amorous Sword, and emotions of fury and wrath immediately erupted out of his body.

His emotional fluctuations affected his soul power, instantly making the latter scorching hot.

 Injecting emotions into his martial soul was a unique cultivation method employed by Zang Xin, and in the face of Dark Blood Demon, he immediately unleashed his most powerful domain, The Amorous One is Left to Rue What Could've Been.

A halo expanded outward from beneath Zang Xin's feet, and the air within the halo began to warp violently. Faced with all these emotional fluctuations, even the Blood Demon seemed to be a little lost and disoriented.

Dark Blood Demon was also affected, and all of the chaotic intents in his mind erupted forth in a frenzy. He was naturally very alarmed by this, and he hurriedly drew upon his spiritual power to forcibly repress these intentions. At the same time, a layer of black flames rose up over the Blood Demon's body at his behest, keeping all of the surrounding emotional fluctuations at bay. Furthermore, 12 inky-black vengeful spirits were conjured up, and they pounced toward Zang Xin in a frenzy.

Zang Xin pointed his right index finger forward, and the Amorous Sword released a sword barrier, within which strong emotional fluctuations ebbed and flowed. 

Zang Xin's eyes also glazed over slightly, as if he were reminiscing something, and in the next instant, his Amorous Sword began to glow with scintillating light as his fury suddenly turned to pain and grief. An overwhelming sense of sorrow surged forth in all directions.

Zang Xin had extensive experience in battling Evil Soul Masters, and he knew what Evil Soul Masters feared the most.

On the flipside of their incredible power, Evil Soul Masters were plagued by many issues, and mental instability like the type Dark Blood Demon was suffering from was extremely common.

They had committed too many atrocities, and no matter how they tried to brainwash themselves, there would inevitably be psychological cracks.

These cracks would widen over time if they continued to commit heinous crimes, and their mental state would eventually be affected.

Thus, instead of being in a hurry to attack Dark Blood Demon, Zang Xin was trying to draw out his opponent's innermost emotions.

At the Limit Douluo level, some of the past advantages that Evil Soul Masters enjoyed could very well become detrimental to them. This was also why the Holy Spirit Douluo was so lethal to Evil Soul Master.

The 12 vengeful spirits crashed into the sword barrier over and over again, but Dark Blood Demon's emotions were also beginning to be affected. One consciousness after another arose in his mind, making it very difficult for him to focus his attention.

Meanwhile, Zang Xin wasn't exactly enjoying himself, either.

In the face of Spirit Devouring of the Limit Douluo level, his mind was also beginning to be affected, and it could be clearly seen that the hair on his head was slowly yet steadily turning white strand by strand.

This was a peculiar battle, and no human Soul Masters or abyssal creatures dared to approach them.

The powers of emotions and Spirit Devouring were virtually omnipresent in this area, and they couldn't be kept at bay through soul power.

In terms of power, the two were at a virtually identical level, but Zang Xin held a slight upper hand due to his battle armor advantage.

In contrast with their virtually completely silent battle, the clash between Cao Dezhi and Ghost Emperor could only be described as earth-shattering.

One giant skull after another shot forth through the air, unleashing all types of attacks against Cao Dezhi, while Cao Dezhi calmly wielded his Hartless Sword to ward off all of the oncoming attacks in a steady manner.

Green flames erupted through the air amid strings of resounding booms, and Cao Dezhi's eyes were glowing with a faint cold light; it was as if he had completely entered a heartless and detached state.

In this state, he was able to assess everything with the utmost calmness, and he would also be able to unleash his power to its maximal extent.

This wasn't the first time that he had clashed with Ghost Emperor, and Ghost Emperor had actually risen to prominence even before him. In the past, Cao Dezhi had almost perished by Ghost Emperor's hands, and the first time he had defeated Ghost Emperor was when he had unleashed his soul fusion skill with Zang Xin.

While attacking Cao Dezhi, Ghost Emperor was constantly keeping tabs on the battle between Zang Xin and Dark Blood Demon.

In the absence of Demon Sovereign, he was the one who oversaw everything in the Holy Spirit Cult. Even against the likes of Atlas Douluo Yun Ming, he was able to hold his own, and he was undoubtedly one of the most powerful beings of the Holy Spirit Douluo. However, he was extremely wary of Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin.

In his eyes, the most formidable opponent from the Tang Sect and Shrek Academy wasn't Long Yeyue.

In fact, before discovering that Chen Xinjie had already reached the Divine Origin realm, he wasn't even all that wary of Chen Xinjie. The only ones who caused any concern for him were Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin, but not because of their individual powers.

Even though Cao Dezhi was a quasigod, that still wasn't enough to evoke concern within Ghost Emperor. Instead, he was much more concerned about their soul fusion skill.

They were the only pair of Limit Douluos on this continent with a soul fusion skill, and he had once suffered a crushing defeat in the face of this soul fusion skill, so he was well aware of its power.

In fact, in his eyes, the soul fusion skill was very likely the only thing that could threaten Demon Sovereign on this battlefield.

Back when he had first faced this soul fusion skill, both Zang Xin and Cao Dezhi had only been Titled Douluos, while he was already a Limit Douluo at the time.

Despite this, Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin were still able to defeat him by relying on their ultra-powerful soul fusion skill.

Now that both of them were Limit Douluos, it was difficult for him to imagine just how powerful their soul fusion skill would be, and that was why he was so concerned.

During the Shrek City bombing, the primary target had been Atlas Douluo Yun Ming, but at the same time, the Holy Spirit Cult was very much hoping that Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin would also perish in the bombing.

Unfortunately for them, neither of the two were at the Tang Sect headquarters, so they both survived.

Thus, even while battling Cao Dezhi, Ghost Emperor was constantly keeping a wary eye on Zang Xin in case they suddenly unleashed their soul fusion skill.

However, ever since the two of them had become Limit Douluos, they were still yet to use this soul fusion skill, and no one in the Soul Master world knew why, nor just how powerful their soul fusion skill would be at their current level of power; all they could do was make assumptions based on how powerful their soul fusion skill had been in the past. 

Thus, Ghost Emperor was constantly prepared to retreat if the situation were to go awry. As long as he could avoid that single attack, then he would have nothing to be worried about.

The soul fusion skill between Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin was very extreme, and upon unleashing it once, both of them would be left completely spent.

As such, Ghost Emperor was actually quite glad to see Dark Blood Demon fighting Zang Xin.

If Dark Blood Demon could take down Zang Xin, then the threat of this soul fusion skill would be completely eradicated, and their chances of securing victory would be further increased.

The only thing that he was rather befuddled about was why Demon Sovereign still hadn't taken down Tang Wulin yet.

Gu Yuena had rushed into the abyssal army and was completely unstoppable, having already slain multiple abyssal emperors.

She was currently being opposed by the Hornet Sovereign with her 12 Vajra Bomber Hornets, and they were only just barely able to contain Gu Yuena, but it was yet to be seen just how long they could last against the Silver Dragon Spear.

After all, even the Spirit Sovereign had perished by Gu Yuena's hands.

Gu Yuena's emergence was definitely something that no one had expected.

Under normal circumstances, the true god level Demon Sovereign should be unstoppable, and if that were the case, then Gu Yuena wouldn't be a cause for concern as she would also eventually fall to Demon Sovereign.
