However, after a precise hit, the holy flames attached to its head were isolated by an invisible force, causing no damage whatsoever...
"Hee hee hee..."
The puppet let out a chilling laugh, raising its fist that was imbued with terrifying power, and with one punch, it sent the true body of the Holy Angel flying several meters away...
The real body of Yue Zhengyu naturally suffered damage as well, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth...
After wiping it off, he narrowed his eyes and said, "This thing is quite powerful; it can easily block my holy flames and remain completely unharmed!"
Yuanen Yehui ceased her attack and looked over, warning him, "Zhengyu, can you handle it alone? Don't try to be a hero!"
Lan Muzi also seriously said, "Yeah, this puppet seems very strong, we should join forces to fight it!"
Who knew that Yue Zhengyu's competitive spirit seemed to be stirred. He confidently said, "No need, I can take care of it on my own. You continue to attack the protective barrier; Wulin is facing the Ghost Emperor and the Ming Emperor alone, something unexpected could happen!"
Just a mere puppet, how could it pose a problem for him?
The expression on Yuanen Yehui's face was somewhat complicated, "Zhengyu..."
Lan Muzi, however, saw something in Yue Zhengyu's eyes and cut in, "Since he says so, he must have some level of confidence. Yehui, the protective barrier has already begun to crack from the inside; increase the attack frequency!"
Upon hearing this, Yuanen Yehui also came back to her senses and focused her attention on the protective barrier in front...
"Alright!!"
In an instant, the two once again launched a fierce attack on the barrier...
And the puppet created by the Ghost Emperor, which seemed to possess a faint spiritual intelligence, wanted to interfere with their actions...
But how could Yue Zhengyu, its opponent, possibly let it get its way...
He immediately shouted coldly, "Freak, your opponent is me!!"
"Sixth Soul Skill, Holy Light Spiritual Array!"
A dazzling ray of light suddenly appeared under the puppet's feet, forcibly restricting its movements...
But it wasn't over yet; the Holy Angel raised the Sacred Sword, and immediately from below, beams filled with a dangerous aura continuously surged out, striking the other's body...
"Roar roar roar!"
Feeling the pain, the puppet emitted a miserable sound and then, like a mad beast, hammered away at the Holy Light Spiritual Array...
Just a few attacks were enough to shatter the formation into pieces...
Watching this scene, Yue Zhengyu wasn't surprised, thinking to himself, "Does this puppet not only have a solid body but also terrifying attack power? What a nuisance."
"If Xiao Yan were here, that would be great!"
If Xu Xiaoyan were here, she could completely use her soul skill to banish it into space...
Soon, he shook his head fiercely because she wasn't here...
He made up his mind right away, "Forget it, as long as I can hold this guy off and prevent it from interfering with Yehui and the others, that will suffice!"
...
On the other side, Halosa, who had been repelled by Tang Wulin's ninth soul skill, the Blue Emperor Thorny Thunder Prison...
His gaze became more solemn than ever, and he couldn't help but say, "Kid, you're pretty good, managing to dodge my attacks multiple times. Perhaps with another year, no one on the Continent could stand up to you!"
But Tang Wulin raised the Golden Dragon Spear to his head and said coldly, "I don't care for praise from a Holy Spirit Cult's Evil Soul Master!"
The previous attacks from this Ming Emperor must have been probes!
What comes next will be the use of his true power!
Halosa was not annoyed and said again, "But... right now, you are still full of flaws!!"
The eighth soul ring flickered...
"Eighth Soul Skill, Death Withering!!"
```
He grasped the Netherworld Requiem in both hands and thrust it into the ground before him.
Suddenly, with his body at the center, a grey-white light bloomed outward like a flower unfolding...
The moment it spread, Tang Wulin felt a profound sense of mortal danger...
If he were to touch this grey-white light, his life would wither away in just a few seconds!!
Without hesitation, he shot back, trying to evade the grey-white light...
But he was disappointed, no matter how he dodged, the deadly grey-white light chased him with an even more tricky angle, vowing to take his life...
Helplessly, Tang Wulin clenched his teeth and released another domain...
Time Reversal Domain!!
This domain had but one ability: to cause a brief reversal of the events within it, driven by spiritual power...
Barely perceptible, the grey-white light began to recede at the same speed...
Seeing this, the Ming Emperor wouldn't just stand by and watch; he coldly shouted, "Don't even think about it!!"
In an instant, he expanded the range of the Netherworld Rebirth Domain, causing it to violently clash with the Time Reversal Domain...
Forcibly stopping the retreating time...
The grey-white light once again spread toward Tang Wulin...
Filled with a sense of crisis, he promptly flapped his wings and narrowly escaped the encirclement, leaping into midair...
Having failed to hit his target, Halosa looked up with even more murderous intent in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to possess a domain that could reverse time. I truly, truly want to kill you more now!"
If it weren't for the sudden reversal of time, that boy would have already lost his life under my eighth soul skill!
Tang Wulin offered no rebuttal but simply gasped for breath...
He thought to himself, "I can't be careless anymore, the Ming Emperor's strength is even greater than I imagined!"
He then released another soul skill...
"Sixth Soul Skill, Devouring Heaven and Earth!!"
He turned into a vortex, instantly absorbing all the spirit energy and elements within a certain range into his body to recover and amplify his combat power...
But the next second, his stomach began to swell, and his face suddenly turned pale...
He immediately expelled all the spirit energy he had just consumed...
Halosa, witnessing this, mocked, "Foolish, in front of me, you actually thought to absorb the spirit energy of this space to recover yourself!!"
In my Netherworld Rebirth Domain, all spirit energy, all elements are tainted...
Absorbing these infected elements and spirit energy won't strengthen you; instead, it will cause your life force to rapidly drain away!!!
With a pale face, Tang Wulin gave him a deep look, "Truly a despicable domain!!"
Though he said this, he also knew that he no longer held the advantage in battle...
Having already been through numerous fights, his Soul Power was considerably depleted...
Now, with the disruption of the Netherworld Rebirth Domain, both Devouring Heaven and Earth and Child of Nature, his two recovery-based soul skills, were unusable...
The casual talk ended, and another soul ring flashed beneath Halosa's feet...
"Boy, there can't be much Soul Power left within you. Why not stop struggling and just die peacefully!!"
