A King Descends from the Heavens, Furious and Savage; the Light Unicorn Offers Itself as a Sacrifice
"Let me see which Soul Beast would be best!"
Li Wuyou slowly descended onto a tree canopy.
He took out his Soul Beast distribution map and studied it carefully.
The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had light and sacred attributes, so he only needed to find a Soul Beast with those two attributes.
Li Wuyou soon found an excellent choice—the Light Unicorn.
As its name suggested, it was a Soul Beast with light and sacred attributes.
Not only was the Light Unicorn a powerful fighter, but its vitality was also terrifying.
As long as it wasn't killed in a single blow, a Light Unicorn could recover through its formidable vitality.
I'll choose a Light Unicorn for my fourth Soul Ring!
Li Wuyou stroked his chin, lost in thought.
The Light Unicorn would be his target.
Its age would be between forty thousand and fifty thousand years.
A Light Unicorn of that age would have roughly the combat strength of a level 80 Soul Douluo, still within the range of what he could handle.
As for why he didn't choose an older one?
Wasn't that unnecessary?
Even setting aside the fact that a Light Unicorn over sixty thousand years old already had Titled Douluo-level combat strength, the Soul Shock alone was more than he could withstand.
To avoid becoming an idiot, he had better not court death.
After putting away the Soul Beast distribution map, Li Wuyou flew swiftly toward the Light Unicorn's habitat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
High in the sky, Li Wuyou left a succession of sonic booms in his wake, his dazzling golden light tracing a streak across the forested mountains.
Six wings burst open behind him, their pure white feathers gleaming brilliantly with gold as they unfurled in overlapping layers. Every wing flowed with a sacred, luminous presence and radiated a formidable Soul Power pressure that made hearts tremble.
Fortunately, this was the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest, allowing Li Wuyou to fly at high speed without restraint. Once he entered the core region of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, he would have to keep his tail between his legs and maintain a low profile!
After another half hour or so, Li Wuyou arrived in the mixed region of the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and descended straight onto the canopy of a tree not far from the Light Unicorn's habitat.
The enormous ancient tree was as thick as a mountain, its dense, luxuriant branches and leaves layered over one another, just enough to conceal him.
Li Wuyou restrained the formidable Soul Power he had been emitting. His outstretched six wings slowly folded, and their luminous, sacred glow gradually faded inward, preventing his presence from leaking out and startling his Soul Hunting target.
Standing on the canopy, he looked down through gaps in the dense foliage, taking in the entire scene below.
A massive Soul Beast, radiating a luminous, sacred presence and bearing a thick horn on its forehead, had lowered its head and was leisurely drinking from the river.
This was precisely the target of Li Wuyou's trip—the Light Unicorn.
"A Light Unicorn around forty-four thousand years old, right between forty thousand and fifty thousand years."
"I can't be bothered running around. I'll choose this Light Unicorn as my fourth Soul Ring!"
Li Wuyou made a silent estimate, a trace of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.
This age was just right for him. It would save him a great deal of time, and he wouldn't have to endure the terrifying Soul Shock of a fifty-thousand-year Soul Ring.
Once he finished absorbing this forty-four-thousand-year Soul Ring, he would gain another Angel energy clone Soul Skill with the power of a level 94 Titled Douluo.
The thought filled him with delight.
Unlike the Six-Winged Angel Soul Skills of Qian Renxue and the two generations before her, Li Wuyou's Six-Winged Angel Soul Skills all became Angel energy clone Soul Skills with corresponding attributes, no matter what Soul Rings he absorbed.
Come to think of it, it really was true.
Li Wuyou's Six-Winged Angel Soul Skills and those of Qian Renxue's three generations were simply two extremes.
Whether it was Qian Daoliu, the old homebody, Qian Xunji, known as the Secret Chamber Douluo, or even Qian Renxue, who became the new Angel God, the Six-Winged Angel Soul Skills of all three generations were every damn one attack-type Soul Skills.
There were unparalleled single-target attacks.
There were group attacks that could sweep away a thousand troops.
There were unstoppable soul attacks.
There were also control attacks for instantaneous surprise assaults.
The Soul Skill configurations of Qian Renxue's three generations left the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul with a fatal weakness: the limitations of having only attack Soul Skills.
They had no powerful enhancement Soul Skills to sustain a prolonged battle, lacked an attack capable of settling the outcome in a single blow to defeat a powerful enemy, had no versatile Soul Skills to deal with being ganged up on, and had no trump card to turn the tables in a seemingly certain deathtrap.
Take Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, for example.
If Qian Daoliu had Soul Skills like his and could directly summon nine Angel energy clones with Titled Douluo-level power, on top of his own combat strength as a level 99 Peerless Douluo, would Qian Daoliu still have lost when he fought Tang Chen?
With ten fighters of Titled Douluo-level strength ganging up on him, wouldn't Tang Chen be chopped into mince in minutes?
Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer?
Clear Sky Nine Absolutes?
Great Sumeru Hammer?
Ring Detonation?
The so-called ultimate techniques of the Clear Sky Sect?
Heh! Whatever last words you have, explain them to my Angel Clone Soul Skill!
Meanwhile, in a clearing beside the broad river, Li Wuyou and the Light Unicorn were staring wide-eyed at each other.
"Whoa!"
"Big guy, you're saying you want to make a Voluntary Sacrifice to me?"
Li Wuyou looked astonished as he stared blankly at the Light Unicorn before him.
Only a few minutes ago, he had summoned three Angel energy clones and placed Angel Holy Swords formed from Soul Power against the Light Unicorn's neck.
He hadn't even had time to make a move when, unexpectedly, the Light Unicorn before him was about to make a Voluntary Sacrifice to him.
Light Unicorn: I star your stars!
You inherently evil little human brat, if you've got the guts, dismiss those three Angel energy clones with Titled Douluo-level combat strength!
If you're a man... ah, pfft! No!
If you're a male, let's fight one-on-one!
Just watch and see if I don't kill you!
"Big guy, you've got a good eye!"
"Since you're making a Voluntary Sacrifice to me, I'll preserve your soul. When I get the chance in the future, I'll bring you back to life as my underling."
A smile appeared on Li Wuyou's lips. He was very pleased that the Light Unicorn knew what was good for it; the big fellow's willingness to make a Voluntary Sacrifice would save him quite a bit of trouble.
If only all the other Soul Beasts knew what was good for them like the Light Unicorn!
"Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Even though the Light Unicorn had already decided to make a Voluntary Sacrifice, it was still furious with this little human brat, Li Wuyou.
Bring me back to life as your damn underling, my ass.
It had originally been living a carefree life.
Who would have thought a king would descend from the heavens, furious and savage?
This inherently evil human brat before it had not only summoned three Angel energy clones with Titled Douluo-level combat strength, but had also placed swords directly against its neck.
It had already agreed to make a Voluntary Sacrifice, yet this hateful human brat still wanted to bring it back to life as his underling. He was simply going too far in bullying others.
Oh, no, that wasn't right!
He was simply going too far in bullying a "beast."
At that moment, the Light Unicorn felt as though the sky had fallen!
