Divine Ring!

"How was that possible?" Jiang Xing clenched his fists. Through the mecha projection's magnification, he saw that woman... He could sense Soul Power far beyond his own—she was a Titled Douluo, and an Evil Soul Master at that!

"What a bunch of trash. You can't even handle such a trivial matter." Yue Zi's delicate brows drew together slightly as she looked down at the steadily retreating group of Evil Soul Masters. She clenched her right hand and viciously thrust it into the Evil God's eye. Immense power continuously surged through her arm, swelling her veins and capillaries as though they might explode at any moment.

Her exquisite face began to twist as well. She had waited far too long for this moment. "A true god—the divine path I pursued myself. People of the world, watch closely! Your arrogant words shall, here and now, witness the moment I ascend to godhood!!" Yue Zi laughed bloodthirstily.

Her body began to disintegrate. The vines throughout the city seemed to merge with Yue Zi, and the earth trembled. Not only was Jiang Xing stunned, even the Evil Soul Masters were the same. Their boss had turned... turned into a monster!!

The Evil God in the sky began to cackle. Vines shot into the heavens, surrounding the evil eye and forming arms and a body, like an ancient giant standing a thousand meters tall and looking down upon ants.

"Th-This... what is this? N-No, don't... don't come over!"

"Ah!"

"Run!!"

A massacre began. Countless tiny vines pierced into people's bodies, turning them into desiccated corpses in an instant. There was no time to react. It made no difference whether they were Evil Soul Masters or Jiang Xing's men.

Mechas had extremely high defensive power and could block most vine attacks.

"Full firepower! Hold nothing back—fire every shell we can!!" Soul Power circulated within Jiang Xing's body, gathering in great quantities along the blade mounted on his mecha's hand. He then swung his sword, severing hundreds upon hundreds of vines.

"Useless. Futile! It is all futile!! I am the only god in this world now." The Evil God Yue Zi's voice had become hoarse. After those words, even the heavens seemed to tremble. Thunder rumbled through the clouds as she wriggled her enormous arm and slapped it toward Jiang Xing's mecha.

Jiang Xing immediately steadied himself. The defensive strength of a Black Grade Mecha was no empty boast, but this strike could still turn it into scrap metal. As Jiang Xing inside the mecha pressed the launch button, two Level Seven Soul Cannon Shells shot forth like fiery dragons.

Collision!!

A massive fireball rose into the sky. Intense heat ignited the Evil God's body, and the flames spread upward, impossible to extinguish.

The enormous shockwave forced Jiang Xing back again and again. Some buildings were sliced cleanly in half by the blast.

"What a damned attack!" The Evil God's aura shook, instantly snuffing out the flames.

A huge stone brick fell, about to smash into Gu You's head.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Ice Emperor Scorpion immediately felt that it was over.

When it was only two or three centimeters from Gu You's head, the Ice Emperor Scorpion had already accepted death. A sense of relief arose within it. It should have died beneath the lightning tribulation long ago. Having lived several extra years—wasn't that already fortunate?

"Why are you so dejected? You can't die at all. Follow me, and there will be plenty of good days ahead." The voice was arrogant, leaving the Ice Emperor Scorpion stunned.

"You! I thought you had become a vegetable. What exactly happened? Why did half your soul disappear?"

"I'll tell you later. Even I don't fully understand it right now." In an instant, Gu You's eyes narrowed, and a powerful aura burst forth, shattering the stone brick at once.

Three soul rings lit up—purple, purple, red!

Two soul bones also gradually began to glow within Gu You's body.

His Spiritual Power stretched boundlessly in all directions. He had truly reached the late Spirit Sea Realm!

What was even more remarkable was the purple halo behind Gu You's head, continuously expanding and shrinking.

At first, Gu You had not known about it. Only now had he sensed it through his perception of power.

Was this a divine ring? Gu You was incomparably excited. If that was the case, then every seal corresponded to a divine ring. I'm guaranteed to become a God King in the future. And every divine ring possesses a Divine Skill—for example, this first divine ring contains two domain abilities.

Success was inevitable. Reaching the summit was already decided. That was Gu You now.

Gu You leaped upward, reaching the upper level before walking out from it. What did he have to fear from Kuang Zhan now? He had to let that bastard surnamed Kuang experience the nightmare that clung to him!!

"Your Sea of Consciousness is so strange. It can simulate so many Soul Beasts, and they're even this realistic." The Ice Emperor Scorpion was having a wonderful time inside. As the one with the highest cultivation, it naturally became the overlord of Gu You's spiritual world.

"Has it occurred to you that they might be real?" Gu You smiled.

"Huh?" The Ice Emperor Scorpion did not quite understand what he meant.

"By the way, how many Soul Skills did your soul ring grant me? What are they?" Gu You asked.

"Definitely two Soul Skills. I'm not like those Soul Spirits you humans develop yourselves, the kind that can grant several soul rings at once. I'm direct. With the third soul ring, you can wield Extreme Ice. At the same time, you gain a domain skill, Domain of Ice and Snow. Soul Masters and Soul Beasts within it will have their movement reduced by twenty percent, and the circulation speed of their Soul Power reduced by twenty percent. Meanwhile, your control over ice and snow will increase by fifty percent. As for your martial soul's Soul Skill, I don't know. Martial souls differ, so Soul Skills differ too. I can't predict it. You'll have to test out the soul bone skills yourself later. Anyway, I'm a little sleepy, so I'm not talking to you anymore..." The Ice Emperor Scorpion's voice vanished.

"Best if you sleep forever and never wake up," Gu You said resentfully.

The ground shook violently. A thin vine slowly approached Gu You, then suddenly sprang up and stabbed toward his neck.

Gu You reacted quickly, casually grabbing it and tearing it apart. "What the hell is this thing?"

The severed vine silently rejoined itself...

After quickly running out of the large warehouse, Gu You was stunned by the sight before him. Countless vines towered into the sky. At the city's center stood an enormous creature, while the roar of missiles and explosions rolled on without end.

"Was this the end of the world?" Gu You hurriedly dodged the second wave of vine attacks.

Purple Gold Annihilation Kill!

After the dragon's shadow passed, a large expanse of vines was corroded beyond regeneration.

After walking forward for some distance, Gu You spotted a large group of fleeing Evil Soul Masters.

Moving with lightning speed, he swiftly seized one and coldly demanded, "What exactly happened?"

The Evil Soul Master stammered, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'll talk—I'll tell you everything!! The boss... the boss turned into a monster!!"

"A monster? I didn't think scum like you would have something to fear." Gu You casually waved his hand, and the Evil Soul Master's head dropped to the ground.

Purple Majesty Dreadful Gaze!

A flash of purple light swept out, and all the fleeing Evil Soul Masters died instantly. Blood continuously flowed from their six orifices. There was no fear in their eyes, only warmth. No one knew what they had seen in their final moments.

"Killing them like this is still letting them off too easily."
