Entering the Valley

First, the success rate was only 50%.

Second, Soul Power would drop by ten levels!

Finally, the corpse had to remain roughly intact!

The restrictions were quite severe!

"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone... a monstrous Self-Created Soul Skill!"

Su Bingyuan gradually regained his senses. Clenching his fists, he said coldly, "Li Tianlan, I'll remember that name. Just you wait!"

Even so, whenever Li Tianlan was mentioned, Su Bingyuan still could not help shuddering.

That monstrous combat power, those Death God-like eyes—they were still vivid in his mind.

Su Bingyuan knew very well that even if he were given a hundred more chances, he would still stand no chance against Li Tianlan.

Therefore, gritting his teeth, Su Bingyuan left at once.

He needed to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and report this news to the sect.

Then, he would have the sect make a move and dispatch a Soul Douluo to hunt down Li Tianlan!

Su Bingyuan believed that no matter how powerful Li Tianlan, that little monster, was, he could not possibly be a match for a Soul Douluo!

Li Tianlan remained completely unaware that Su Bingyuan had been revived.

Led by Bena, he had finally approached the valley where the Purple Orchid Heart Flame was located.

At this moment, the entire valley was strange.

The surroundings were utterly silent; there was not even a single insect.

"Be careful, Sister Bena. Don't go into that valley," Li Tianlan said solemnly. "The Purple Orchid Heart Flame is extremely harmful to the soul. One misstep, and your soul could be damaged!"

Qian Renxue, standing beside him, was startled as well. She glanced at the valley and asked, "What about me? Can I go in?"

"You'll be fine." Li Tianlan nodded slightly and looked at Qian Renxue. "With the Angel God's Divine Power and the protection of the Angel Set, your mental resistance is nearly on par with mine. The Purple Orchid Heart Flame won't affect you!"

"That's good!"

Qian Renxue was still a young girl at heart. Raising her chin, she said sweetly, "Looks like I'm still pretty impressive!"

Li Tianlan was speechless. Not just pretty impressive—aside from that cheat Tang San, Qian Renxue is the number one genius on Douluo Continent!

Thinking of Tang San, Li Tianlan could not help stroking his chin. Should he take a trip to Sea God Island and get himself a Sea God position for fun?

It was a first-class godhood, after all!

And the Asura God position in the City of Slaughter seemed pretty good too!

After thinking it over, Li Tianlan decided it was better to proceed steadily and collect all 108 kinds of Heavenly Flames from Dao Tong Yan first!

His Soul Power was only level 11 right now. Becoming a god was still a little too far away!

Coming back to himself, Li Tianlan looked at Qian Renxue and said softly, "Come on, let's go in and take a look!"

"Alright!" Qian Renxue nodded.

Bena stood to one side, acting as their cheerleader. "I'll wait outside for you two to return!"

"There's no need to wait too long. If the two of us haven't come out within a month, then..."

Li Tianlan thought for a moment before continuing, "Then leave on your own!"

"I believe the two of you will definitely return alive."

Bena smiled faintly, her face full of confidence.

Li Tianlan smiled and waved. Then, with Qian Renxue, he charged into the valley where the Purple Orchid Heart Flame resided.

The moment they entered the valley, the ground was covered in countless white bones.

Most of the skeletons belonged to Soul Beasts, though a small portion were human.

Among the bones, there were even Soul Bones of various colors.

Unfortunately, after who knew how many years without being nourished by human Soul Power, these Soul Bones had completely deteriorated and were no different from ordinary bones.

"Come here, quickly!"

As though she had found something, Qian Renxue could not help crying out.

Li Tianlan froze for a moment, then hurried over as well.

There was a skeleton on the ground. Qian Renxue was crouching beside it, examining a token at its waist.

After pondering for a moment, she said in surprise, "It's a Titled Douluo from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, named Yu Bao!

A level 97 Titled Douluo! He disappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest one hundred and thirty years ago. Everyone thought he had died at the hands of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, but unexpectedly, he died here!"

"There was no helping it. The Purple Orchid Heart Flame attacked the soul directly; Soul Power was practically useless unless one had a soul-defense soul skill!"

Li Tianlan frowned and muttered, "Things have gotten dangerous."

Even a level 97 Titled Douluo had died here. The Purple Orchid Heart Flame was far more dangerous than Li Tianlan had imagined!

Fortunately, Xiao Yan had prepared in advance. Before coming here, he had already readied pills that could increase soul resistance!

With that thought, Li Tianlan took out a jade bottle from his Treasure Bag, poured out a pill, and handed it to Qian Renxue. "This pill is called the Spirit Cleansing Pill. It can greatly enhance mental power! Just in case, we should take one first."

"Alright!"

Qian Renxue accepted the pill and swallowed it in one gulp!

Boom!

The instant the pill entered her stomach, a trace of surprise flashed through Qian Renxue's eyes.

Its effects were far stronger than she had expected!

After swallowing a single pill, her mental power had been forcibly raised by thirty percent!

As they walked through the valley littered with bones, Li Tianlan suddenly sensed that something was wrong!

A wave of mental power abruptly erupted beside him!

"Danger!" Li Tianlan's gaze sharpened. Without the slightest hesitation, he unleashed his mental power, forming a shield to protect his soul!

Crack! Crack!

Within the valley, a human skeleton crawled up from the ground.

It was nothing but gleaming white bones, yet two pale white flames flickered within the hollow eye sockets of its skull!

"This is... an undead creature!"

Li Tianlan took a deep breath!

The world of Douluo Continent was not an isolated world. It was connected to worlds such as Heavenly Jewel Change and Throne of Seal.

For example, Huo Gua's strongest cheat ability, Undead Calamity, came from the world of Throne of Seal!

Qian Renxue's face turned pale, and she could not help taking two steps back!

Though she had seen plenty of dead people, seeing moving bones appear before her still made her uncomfortable!

Crack! Crack!

The white skeleton twisted its body, then attacked without warning.

It moved as fast as lightning, leaving an afterimage in midair as it charged at Li Tianlan in an instant.

Li Tianlan froze for a moment and was just about to strike when his expression abruptly changed. This skeleton was merely a decoy, meant to draw his attention!

At that moment, two more bursts of mental power erupted from among the white bones on the ground!

Two humanoid skeletons leaped up from the ground, their movements lightning-fast as they lunged at Li Tianlan together!

Three Thousand Lightning Movement!

Li Tianlan gave a low shout, using Three Thousand Lightning Movement beneath his feet as his speed instantly soared.

Even so, the sharp finger bones of one skeleton still slashed across Li Tianlan's shoulder, leaving behind a wound deep enough to expose bone!

At the same time, the other two skeletons charged straight in!
