Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 264: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

The death of this Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master left Chen Ming somewhat speechless. If this person had been attempting to fuse the nine elements elsewhere and failed due to an unexpected backlash, Chen Ming might have attributed it to a lack of ability or poor luck. However, the Star Dou Forest's inner depths were home to none other than the Silver Dragon King—the Dragon King capable of controlling all elements.

Chen Ming couldn't help but suspect with the utmost cynicism: this senior might have been close to succeeding when the fusion of the nine elements alerted the Silver Dragon King, who then subtly intervened, adding an extra variable. Finally, she sent Di Tian to eliminate him.

As Chen Ming watched with a faintly sympathetic expression, the Soul Master with the Seven-Colored Lotus martial soul coughed awkwardly and unleashed his Elemental Domain.

Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Space, Time, Creation.

These nine attributes, identical to those of the legendary Dragon God, were released, forming an intricate domain. As Chen Ming carefully sensed it, he found that this domain was even more refined than his own Deathly Poison Domain.

The elements cycled and transformed endlessly, generating and neutralizing one another. With the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master's will, various elements converged, flowed, and transformed, causing space and time to distort.

Ice spikes, fireballs, rockslides, gusts of wind, beams of light, and dark mist—all sorts of elemental phenomena constantly shifted in his hands, evolving from simple forms into manifestations imbued with a sense of law and principle.

Under his control, he could even deprive other soul masters of their connection to certain elemental energies within his domain, suppressing specific elements. He could also fuse two or even three elements to create entirely new ones.

Although nominally the domain contained nine elements, through combinations and transformations, he could easily wield powerful forces like lightning or metallic and wood-based attributes.

While none of these individual forces achieved the ultimate level, their near-perfection combined with their multi-attribute fusion allowed them to suppress even single ultimate attributes to some extent. Moreover, if needed, he could push any single attribute to reach the ultimate level temporarily.

Undoubtedly, this was a highly complex and powerful domain. With his mastery of elements and understanding of laws, the strength of his Elemental Domain would only continue to grow, seemingly without limit.

However, as the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master was showing off, the ancestor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stepped forward, releasing his martial soul. With his interference, the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master could no longer manipulate time and space.

Next, the Fire Phoenix Soul Master released her martial soul, wresting control of the Light element within the domain. The Flame Lion Soul Master gave her a thumbs-up before seizing control of the Fire element.

Finally, under the helpless gaze of the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master, a Soul Master wielding the Mountain-Splitting Axe martial soul smirked and, with a slight surge of power, took control of the Earth and Time attributes.

The Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master glared at the four saboteurs around him, his expression shifting into a dead-fish-eyed stare.

Out of his nine elements, four were taken, and two were suppressed. While he could still barely control Water, Wind, and Darkness, his Elemental Domain could no longer be sustained.

If not for his desire to leave a good impression on the younger generation, the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master would have cursed them out loud. A whole group of people teaming up to sabotage him—were they that bored?

...Apparently, yes.

The Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master nodded to himself, realizing that if he were just as idle, he might also have been tempted to interfere with others.

"Young man," he said to Chen Ming, "don't get the wrong idea. The only reason these guys could take over my elemental control is because there are so many of them, and each of them has soul power and martial souls equal to mine. Against a group, I can't do much, but one-on-one, I'm not inferior to anyone."

"Cough, cough." The ancestor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, whose body had been enhanced to god-level strength by the Golden Ancient Tree, cleared his throat.

"..." The Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master rolled his eyes at him and reluctantly corrected himself. "Fine. Except for that old lizard. Everyone else is on par with me. That lion guy over there probably wouldn't be able to beat me in a fight."

"You!" The Soul Master with the Flame Lion martial soul widened his eyes and pointed at him angrily but couldn't refute the claim.

Indeed, even among 98th-level Title Douluo, there were differences in strength. The Flame Lion Soul Master was of average combat ability at this level. With limited talent, he had no hope of reaching level 99 unless he was extraordinarily lucky.

However, the other three were exceptional elites carefully chosen by the Angel God. They had the talent to advance further but had been held back by bad luck. Although not level 99, their full-strength bursts weren't far off.

If not for the limitations of their Golden Ancient Tree-enhanced bodies—which allowed them to perform at their peak but prevented further breakthroughs—these three would have long since become Ultimate Douluo after years of accumulation.

The Flame Lion Soul Master's inclusion in this rotation of protectors was partly due to his lineage tracing back to the ancient followers of the Angel God. His strength was solidly mid-to-high among 98th-level Douluo, but he was still slightly weaker than those monstrous elites.

As such, this group of five Soul Masters represented the cream of the crop among past generations of Soul Masters who entered the Douluo Palace. While the Flame Lion Soul Master's combat techniques were slightly weaker, his abilities were still enough to sustain a family legacy for thousands of years.

Even so, the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master's jab wasn't entirely unwarranted. After all, Chen Ming didn't have deep ties with the Flame Lion Soul Master compared to his connections with Qian Daoliu and the Golden Crocodile Douluo, so he was unaware of this particular Soul Master's hidden ace.

After teasing the Seven-Colored Lotus Soul Master for a while, the others began demonstrating their combat techniques to Chen Ming. Each move had been honed through countless battles, embodying the power of over 100,000-year-old spirit abilities.

For the strongest Super Douluo and Ultimate Douluo, spirit abilities alone weren't enough to keep up with their power. Even 100,000-year spirit abilities were no longer their ultimate trump cards. Only self-created combat techniques, built upon their martial souls and personal understanding, could fully unleash their strength.

On the Douluo Continent, self-created spirit abilities were already rare, and combat techniques were even more extraordinary, akin to a myth. A set of combat techniques tailored to a martial soul's unique characteristics was more valuable than even a 100,000-year soul bone.

After all, a 100,000-year soul bone could create one strong individual in a single generation, but combat techniques could nurture multiple strong individuals across generations.

Most Soul Masters who advanced to Title Douluo refined their mental strength and gained a deep understanding of their martial souls. A set of combat techniques designed for their martial soul could significantly increase the chances of a Soul Douluo advancing to Title Douluo.

Even though Chen Ming had unique insights into laws and possessed various extraordinary abilities, he was still moved by the sheer power and profundity of these combat techniques.

However, he remained calm, refusing to lose himself in excitement.
