Qian Renxue stared wide-eyed at the scene before her, completely incredulous.
In the blink of an eye, a desperate attack from a level 97 Titled Douluo was silently neutralized, and Tang Hao's death was far too horrifying.
Qian Renxue opened her lips, her voice slightly hesitant and empty, unable to find any words to describe her current state of mind.
She had seen her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, make a move, and witnessed just how powerful Limit Douluo was.
But even his own grandfather wouldn't so easily erase the life of a Super Douluo.
The difference between superior and inferior, like heaven and earth, is shocking.
At this moment, the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, which was suspended in Su Zui's sea of consciousness, was completely frozen.
"My God... how could my neighbor be this terrifying?!"
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had seen countless powerful figures, but even someone like Electrolux, who possessed terrifying combat power capable of crushing Super Douluo with just a wisp of remnant soul, still inspired the deepest awe in Tianmeng Ice Silkworm.
In Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's mind, the Snow Empress of the Far North was the ceiling of combat power she had ever seen.
However, even if the Snow Empress stood in the Far North, she could only unleash the power of Limit Douluo at most.
The power of Electrolux before them had long surpassed that of all creatures on the Douluo Continent, reaching another dimension.
After a long while, Electrolux slowly withdrew his illusory fingertips, and the grayish-white light flowing around him completely disappeared.
The Gold of Life had merged with the Divine Soul was quietly exerting its power, and the originally broken, mottled, incomplete and dim Divine Soul phantom was gradually becoming solid and warm.
Those ancient memories, long buried and fragmented, are slowly reviving and piecing themselves back together. The power and foundation lost for millennia are also gradually returning as the Divine Soul is restored.
He turned his head, his gaze gently falling on Su Zui below, whose emotions were still unsettled. In his eyes, there was only the vicissitudes and gentleness that had been tempered by the years.
His aged yet calm voice slowly rang out, dispelling the somber silence that enveloped the lakeside. "Little one, there's no need to be afraid."
"I am not a bloodthirsty person, and I never slaughter living beings indiscriminately. My actions just now were not my intention, but this person's obsession is ingrained, and his Inner Demons are incurable. He has completely fallen into depravity, and there is no possibility of him turning back and being redeemed. Keeping him in the world will only increase endless killing and grudges."
"The Gold of Life nourished my Divine Soul, restoring much of my memory and power. I will not break my promise of the good fortune I made to you."
Su Zui a deep breath, suppressing the turbulent waves in his heart, and forcibly calmed his trembling mind.
He straightened his broken body, composed himself, and with a solemn and respectful expression, bowed slightly, saying, "This junior is fully prepared to listen to your teachings, senior."
Electrolux nodded slightly, his greyish-white Divine Soul phantom floating gently in the moonlight, and slowly spoke.
"Today I will impart to you an ancient secret technique called the Soul Spirit Method."
"This method is rooted in the Soul Magic System, transcending the ironclad rules of cultivation on your continent, and is completely different from the traditional path of cultivation that involves hunting Soul Beasts and plundering Soul Rings."
Su Zui focused his mind and held his breath, his ears perked up, not daring to miss a single word, immersing himself completely in this ancient and mysterious technique.
"The first core principle, and the only prerequisite, for establishing Soul Spirit Contract is that the Soul Beast is willing and their hearts are aligned."
Electrolux's voice was deep and resonant.
"I used orthodox soul magic to construct a magic array, stripping away a wisp of the core divine Divine Soul imprint deep within the Soul Beast's origin. This process is gentle and painless, without harming its physical body, damaging its foundation, or taking its life."
"I will use a secret method to stabilize this wisp of primordial Divine Soul, sealing its complete intelligence, memories, and consciousness, allowing it to transform into an independent, symbiotic life form. This symbiotic Divine Soul is the Soul Spirit."
"Once a contract is formed, the Soul Spirit will permanently attach itself to the Soul Master's side, moving and acting at will. It can participate in battles on its own, fighting alongside your Soul Power and sword intent, complementing each other and amplifying your combat power."
"When your cultivation advances and you break through the bottleneck of your realm, and you need the blessing of Soul Ring, your Soul Spirit can autonomously activate its primal power to transform into a unique Soul Ring that suits your body and Martial Soul, helping you to successfully break through to the next realm."
At this point, Electrolux paused slightly before revealing the most crucial and extraordinary essence of this secret technique.
"The most crucial and transcendent aspect of this method lies in its two-way symbiosis, mutual nourishment, and eternal coexistence."
"When you cultivate, the overflowing Soul Power, pure Spiritual Power, and spiritual energy of heaven and earth will continuously flow into the contract link, nourishing the companion Soul Spirit, helping it to temper its origin, steadily grow stronger, and break through the shackles of its race."
"Conversely, the fundamental essence, innate supernatural powers, and racial Divine Power of the Soul Spirit will continuously empower you, nourishing your Divine Soul, physical body, and Martial Soul, working in both directions to grow together."
"One person, one soul, one lifetime together, living and progressing side by side. No need for killing, no need for sacrifice, no need for life-sacrifice."
These few words, each one a thunderclap, exploded in Su Zui's mind.
His pupils suddenly brightened, his heart surged with unprecedented waves, and his blood boiled.
The Douluo Continent: an ironclad rule that has stood the test of time.
Soul Masters must hunt down prey to cultivate their skills.
The birth of each Soul Ring is inevitably accompanied by the death of a Soul Beast.
This has been the case for thousands of years, and for tens of thousands of years; all Soul Masters have presupposed, followed, and become accustomed to it.
Countless Soul Beasts have perished under the hunters' blades. Between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, there has always been a life-or-death struggle of hunter and hunted, accumulating blood debts and hatred over thousands of years.
But today, the Soul Spirit Method taught by Electrolux has completely shattered this ironclad rule that has bound the continent for ten thousand years!
No killing, no bloodshed, no sacrifice.
The two coexist and complement each other, achieving mutual success.
This is no longer just a simple cultivation technique.
This is the supreme path that will overturn the entire continent's cultivation landscape and usher in a brand new era of cultivation!
Qian Renxue, standing to the side, was also completely moved, her usually cold eyes filled with amazement and shock.
The twelve golden wings behind her trembled slightly as she murmured in amazement, "Such a wondrous contract technique exists in this world... harmless to living beings, coexisting and progressing together."
"What the elder said about destiny is truly unprecedented and unparalleled."
She had studied all the ancient books and secret manuals of the continent since childhood and was familiar with all the cultivation systems of Soul Masters, but she had never heard of such a heaven-defying and gentle cultivation method. What she saw today completely reorganized her understanding.
Electrolux's gaze shifted gently, settling on the rippling depths of the lake ahead, and he spoke softly, "The Golden Hawksbill Turtle, grateful for the soul I bestowed upon it, willingly offered up the Gold of Life and also voluntarily entered into a symbiotic contract with you."
"Today, I will use it as an example to fully transmit the Soul Spirit Formation to you, helping you take the first step on this brand new path."
The moment the words left his mouth, the once calm lake surface suddenly rippled slightly, and ripples slowly spread from the depths of the water.
The enormous Golden Hawksbill Turtle slowly rose from the dark depths of the lake.
Electrolux slowly raised his illusory hand, and a wisp of ancient, grayish-white soul power flowed out from his Divine Soul.
Countless obscure and ancient soul runes, beyond the comprehension of this world, silently condensed from the void and slowly emerged. Silver-gray patterns swirled and flowed, carrying an ancient tranquility and holiness, slowly unfolding and intertwining in the night.
"Concentrate, calm your mind, and empty your Divine Soul."
"Mobilize the Soul Power within you and follow my guidance to activate the runes and construct a symbiotic array. Observe every pattern carefully and remember every rhythm. You will need to comprehend and apply this method on your own in the future."
Su Zui immediately composed himself and banished all distracting thoughts.
He suppressed all the shock and excitement in his heart, endured the remaining pain in his body, mobilized the pure Soul Power that was slowly recovering in his dantian, and carefully followed the rhythm of Electrolux, his fingertips slowly outlining in the air.
His eyes were extremely focused, not daring to slacken in the slightest. His gaze was fixed on every rune flowing in the void, engraving all the patterns, trajectories, and rhythms into his Divine Soul memory.
In the blink of an eye, six silver-gray beams of light swirled, intertwined, and converged in the air.
A massive, magnificent, and intricate six-pointed star magic array was steadily laid out on the lakeside land.
The magic circle patterns are smooth and ancient, flowing with a soft and warm gray-white spiritual light.
The moment the magic circle was formed, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle in the center of the lake let out a low, gentle hum.
It actively concealed all its aura, peeling away the dark golden Divine Soul light that enveloped its complete self-awareness.
The golden light was extremely gentle, hovering softly above the lake, without any agitation or disturbance, quietly awaiting the completion of the contract.
Electrolux twitched his fingertips, and his greyish-white soul power gently cradled the precious primordial Divine Soul, steadily sending it into the very center of the six-pointed star magic circle.
Then, the ancient, deep, and timeless incantation of the covenant gently echoed between the lake and the heavens, solemn and sacred.
"I swear by my soul, I pledge my allegiance to the origin."
"Soul Power nourishes each other, Divine Soul coexist, intelligence endures forever, and they accompany each other through life and death."
"The contract is complete!"
The moment the words were spoken, the six-pointed star magic circle suddenly emitted a soft and dazzling halo, the silver-gray and dark gold light enveloping the surroundings, warm and tranquil.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's primordial Divine Soul light cluster slowly rose into the air along the contract channel constructed by the magic array, steadily merging into Su Zui's body. It passed through unimpeded, eventually settling peacefully beside his dantian Martial Soul.
The power accumulated by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast instantly swept through Su Zui's limbs, bones, internal organs, and Divine Soul.
The next moment!
A thick, majestic, and richly colored red Soul Ring slowly rose from beneath Su Zui's feet, steadily circling around him.
Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring! This is Su Zui's first Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
