Orphaned Girl Lin Li

The moonlight hid among the clouds and mist, leaving the sky pitch-black as an unceasing drizzle fell beneath the vast heavens.

Yet one small village was drenched in crimson.

Everywhere lay shattered walls and ruined buildings. Countless fragments had been ground into the earth, and even the breeze mixed with rain carried a thick stench of blood—nauseating and desolate.

Then, from the final courtyard at the edge of the village, ragged breathing sounded. A small figure crawled out from a hidden corner and stared at her Parents, whose bodies had been reduced to wreckage as they blocked the way before her.

She let out a sorrowful cry like a trapped beast.

"Lin Yan, didn't you want to witness me becoming the greatest Soul Master?"

"Bailan, didn't you want to see me surrounded by children and grandchildren, enjoying family happiness with your descendants at your knees?"

"Lin Yan, didn't you say you were the strongest Soul Ancestor? That you'd hunt down the best spirit ring for me?"

"Say something! Say something..."

The small figure clung tightly to the two mangled bodies, sobbing in agony until, after only half an hour, she collapsed to the ground from exhaustion.

Lin Li glared fiercely at the sky, coldness filling her peach-blossom eyes as she let out an enraged growl.

"Qian Xunji, Tang Hao, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo! Just wait!"

A glimmer of tears flashed in Lin Li's eyes. Half a month ago, she had just awakened her martial souls, and Lin Sihai and Bailan had been preparing to hunt her First Spirit Ring.

But they had happened to run into Qian Xunji's pursuit of Tang Hao and his wife!

The overwhelming shockwaves created by the four Titled Douluo had triggered a terrifying beast tide in Soul Town Village, which lay near the Soul Hunting Forest!

Even though Lin Sihai was a Four-Ring Spirit Elder, he could not withstand nearly ten Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Lin Li laughed in despair. She was a transmigrator. She had thought she had entered Douluo Continent, the "floor tile of fantasy worlds," and possessed an overpowered top-tier martial soul—Twin Martial Souls, no less. She had believed she could defy heaven and earth and become a god all the way!

But she had only been an ordinary person in her previous life. What could she do after coming here?

Countless worries weighed heavily upon her, yet determination flashed through her eyes. The hatred of her Parents' murder could never be shared beneath the same sky!

She raised her head and let out an incomparably grief-stricken roar. A wildly violent aura erupted from her tiny body, and a blood-soaked phoenix shadow appeared.

Its body was black as ink, with only its Phoenix Eyes burning crimson. The instant it appeared, the entire space seemed to twist. It merely gave its wings a faint flap, yet the surroundings seemed to have been assailed by some great terror!

Tyranny, madness, depravity—countless words that could be called dark could be used to describe this phoenix.

Lin Li gently stroked the phoenix phantom behind her. This was her first martial soul, the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix.

It possessed both Extreme Fire and Extreme Evil, two Ultimate Attributes. Because the two extremes converged, it had also given rise to a Space Attribute.

"Xiao Li, promise Daddy you'll never use the Phoenix Spirit, okay?" A gentle voice seemed to echo beside Lin Li's ears.

Lin Li looked indifferently at Lin Yan's remains and said softly, "Dad, your unfilial daughter may not be able to grant your request."

The Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix could grow by absorbing any item containing Soul Power, including increasing the age of her spirit rings and spirit bones.

However, such growth required an accumulation of both quantity and quality. Lin Yan did not want his daughter to follow the path of an Evil Soul Master, and had hoped she would focus on cultivating her second martial soul instead.

Thinking of Lin Yan, Lin Li unconsciously dispersed the Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix phantom. Then, a dazzling crown-like martial soul suddenly appeared in her hand.

The instant the martial soul appeared, endless shadows of the starry sky seemed to emerge above. It was her second martial soul, the Crown of Stars!

Though the Crown of Stars was not as fierce and domineering as the Clear Sky Hammer, it possessed abilities the Clear Sky Hammer could not match. It wielded the Power of Stars and could construct the Link of Stars, constantly drawing down starlight to temper a Soul Master's Soul Power and Spiritual Power!

It was an utterly terrifying cultivation accelerator, yet that still did not reveal all of its might. What was truly terrifying was its domain!

Star Domain: within the domain, any Soul Master or Soul Beast whose Spiritual Power was lower than hers would have all attributes reduced by forty percent. At night, when the stars gathered, all attacks below her Soul Power Level would be rendered ineffective, while her own attributes would increase by fifty percent!

It was an incredibly disgusting and troublesome domain, but because it had rained continuously these past few days, her innate domain skill could not exert even the slightest effect.

Lin Li withdrew the Crown of Stars and blankly stared at her Parents' corpses. Then she looked at the unceasing rain outside, struggle flashing through her eyes.

She murmured softly, "Qian Xunji, your death is near. Bibi Dong will kill you for me and thereby begin the Rakshasa God Trial. But Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Tang Hao, just you wait. Once my Blood Fiend Demonic Phoenix grows strong, I'll tear out your tendons, flay your skin, and throw you all into the Soul Beast Forest to be devoured by Soul Beasts!"

She gritted her teeth as she spoke, wishing she could chew their flesh and drink their blood right then and there!

Extreme madness and resentment detected. The Archvillain System has bound itself to you.
