Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum

Zhu Zhuqing had long since mastered the Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique. The fusion of Ultimate Light and Ultimate Darkness provided her with an almost exponential increase in power.

Especially when facing beings with light or dark attributes.

The Dark Radiance Goddess appeared once more.

Ultimate Light dissolved the Dark Violet Spirit Wolf's Soul Power, while Ultimate Darkness suppressed it.

Under the suppression of these two irresistible powers, the Dark Violet Spirit Wolf directly entered a full second of shutdown.

Swish!

Two sharp blades appeared in Zhu Zhuqing's hands. Gripping their hilts in reverse, she viciously drove them downward!

The blade edges pierced through the Violet Spirit Wolf's eye sockets, directly penetrating its entire skull.

Huff!

After confirming that she had killed the Violet Spirit Wolf, Zhu Zhuqing slowly rose to her feet. The long blades vanished on their own, and with a wave of her right hand, the armor around her body gradually dissipated.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill state was released!

"What an incredibly powerful force. In that fusion state, I feel like I could fight even a Soul Douluo on equal footing!"

Zhu Zhuqing clenched her fists. That feeling was truly wonderful!

The extreme compression of her Soul Power meant that Zhu Zhuqing no longer needed to worry about Soul Power consumption when using soul skills.

Even if she used her Martial Soul Fusion Skill now, she could maintain it with her own Soul Power for more than ten minutes.

That was already enough to make it a conventional combat method.

As for why Zhu Zhuqing had not fought the Violet Spirit Wolf fairly?

Though she had the strength, the circumstances did not allow it.

In the world of soul beasts, soul masters were always the first targets to be attacked.

If she had not dealt with the Violet Spirit Wolf immediately, then once the other beast kings of Sunset Forest arrived, even if she managed to kill it, she would be completely deprived of its Soul Ring.

"A mental-type soul skill. I hope I get lucky!"

The Violet Spirit Wolf's fourth soul skill was connected to Zhu Zhuqing's fifth soul skill. If she missed out on this skill, she would have to find another way.

She sat down cross-legged.

The Nether Shadow Spirit Cat appeared behind Zhu Zhuqing.

The entire Nether Shadow Spirit Cat could now only be made out as a feline silhouette and a pair of scarlet eyes. Nothing else could be seen.

A pitch-black Soul Ring encircled Zhu Zhuqing as surging Soul Power rampaged through her body.

Then it was...

Beaten smaller and smaller, one swipe at a time from the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat, and one swipe at a time from the Holy Light White Tiger.

Zhu Zhuqing's Spirit World.

The Dark Violet Spirit Wolf, having died in unbearable frustration, charged into Zhu Zhuqing's sea of consciousness carrying boundless resentment.

Yet before it could vent its fury and wreak havoc, a massive Yin Yang Diagram appeared beneath its feet.

Boom!

The Yin Yang Diagram began spinning rapidly without the slightest regard for fair play. The Yin Yang Diagram, condensed from pure Spiritual Power, was exceptionally effective at restraining Spirit Bodies.

Under the grinding of the enormous Yin Yang Diagram, the Dark Violet Spirit Wolf's Spirit Body was directly annihilated.

After the Dark Violet Spirit Wolf vanished, the remaining Dark Soul Power still tried to drift toward the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat.

But the Nether Shadow Spirit Cat, busy refining Soul Power with the Holy Light White Tiger, did not even spare that Soul Power a glance.

It simply grabbed it and tossed it toward the Holy Light White Tiger.

Looking at that Dark Soul Power, the Holy Light White Tiger slapped it once and reduced it to its most fundamental form of Soul Power.

What kind of attribute was that, dreaming of becoming one with them?

"Success!"

Three hours passed. Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes in the pitch-black cave, and four Soul Rings—yellow, purple, black, black—appeared around her, providing the cave with a faint trace of light.

She stood and looked at her hands.

Boom!

As she clenched both fists, a terrifying surge of Soul Power burst from her body. The shockwave it formed made the entire cave tremble.

"Level 43. As expected of a Soul Ring provided by a top-tier soul beast—the amount of Soul Power it contains is incredible!"

Feeling the energy in her body, Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her eyes in enjoyment.

The thrill brought by increased strength was unlike the pleasure offered by anything else.

It was pure and real.

"Fourth soul skill, Dark Gaze!"

Just as Zhu Zhuqing had expected, her fourth Soul Ring had granted her a mental attack soul skill.

Dark Gaze had two stages of attack. The first was intimidation, a group-control soul skill. Once activated, it condensed a pair of enormous cat eyes behind her. Anyone who saw those cat eyes would have the darkness in their heart detonated, causing their Soul Power to run wild!

The second stage was a single-target skill. The cat eyes in the void appeared within Zhu Zhuqing's eyes and launched a Mental Attack at a target.

After being struck, the target would suffer three conceptual forms of suppression: mental confusion, mental weakness, and dark invasion.

A black beam shot from her eyes straight out of the cave entrance.

When Zhu Zhuqing flashed over to the cave entrance, she saw a large tree continuously turning into ash.

"It seems this soul skill is more than just a Mental Attack. If one fails to withstand the dark erosion, they will probably turn to ash as well!"

Walking up to the tree, Zhu Zhuqing picked up some of the ashes it had left behind and quietly sensed them in her hand.

They had completely lost all signs of life. Dead beyond death!

"My strength has increased a little more, but the medicinal power of the Narcissus Jade Bone has also been completely exhausted.

I'll take two more stalks. Once I reach Level 50, I'll tell him how to solve the snake venom problem!"

Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!

Having gained some practice from her first attempt, Zhu Zhuqing did not choose to sneak in during the middle of the night this time.

She had also avoided coming on the fifteenth or on rainy days.

Dugu Bo could not possibly be at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well during those times.

After all, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was not exactly a pleasant place.

Just as expected, Dugu Bo was not inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

But even without Dugu Bo present, Zhu Zhuqing still did not dare refine Immortal Grade Herbs here.

Zhu Zhuqing's purpose for coming this time was very clear.

Rather than taking the Eight Petal Immortal Orchid, she went straight to the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

The Narcissus Jade Bone and Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum were originally complementary Immortal Grade Herbs.

Moreover, the Narcissus Jade Bone tempered Ice Muscle Jade Bone, while the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum forged an Indestructible Vajra body.

In Zhu Zhuqing's view, they were Immortal Grade Herbs meant to be used as a set.

After being consumed, both could open the eight extraordinary meridians and greatly increase a soul master's Cultivation Speed.

Taking out a jade box, Zhu Zhuqing plucked the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. Without the slightest hesitation, she turned and fled.

Within a familiar, hidden valley.

Zhu Zhuqing sat cross-legged atop the Yin Yang Diagram, using the Soul Power between heaven and earth to help her rapidly refine the medicinal power of the Immortal Grade Herb.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing had become like a Little Golden Man. Her ice-like skin was gradually transforming into golden skin, and her defensive power was increasing exponentially.

And this was merely the initial awakened form of Indestructible Vajra.

At the same time, supported by the medicinal power, Zhu Zhuqing's Soul Power rose without any side effects.

For Zhu Zhuqing, increasing her Soul Power too quickly would not cause her any harm.

Her control over Soul Power far surpassed that of ordinary people.

Furthermore, because she possessed the Self Martial Soul Fusion Technique, she had her own understanding of higher realms.

Compared to soul masters who needed time to adapt to their Soul Power, what she needed more was to rapidly raise her Soul Power and fill the gaps in her strength.
