Azure Dragon Breath!

The smoke on the ground gradually cleared, revealing the figure of a massive beast within. It was the Clawed Bear.

It was in an utterly disheveled state. Its dark gold fur had been scorched black, and cracks ran across the claws on its right arm, a horrifying sight. Dark gold blood even flowed from those cracks. Its aura had also become extremely weak. It seemed the backlash from using its bloodline power had arrived.

The Evil Tiger was no better off. It stared at the Clawed Bear while continuously panting. Its soul skill consumed too much Soul Power. It had thought that attack would finish the bear off, but it had still underestimated the giant bear's abilities.

Neither the Evil Tiger nor the Clawed Bear had managed to do anything to the other. The two beasts glared at each other, the Evil Tiger letting out an unwilling growl, while the Clawed Bear roared in fury as well.

"Finished fighting? Then stay behind!"

Just as the two giant beasts reluctantly prepared to retreat, an indifferent voice rang out and reached their ears.

Locked onto by an inexplicable aura, both giant beasts were startled. They unleashed the remaining Soul Power in their bodies and assumed defensive stances.

Whoosh! A fierce wind swept through the sky, bending the surrounding trees. At the same time, a huge Ghost Green Palm slammed down viciously. The palm was a full hundred meters wide, directly enveloping both giant beasts.

Faint layers of mist could be seen within the gale. This was Du Busi's Body Poison, and its destructive power was immense!

Roar! At last, the two giant beasts could no longer remain calm. That enormous palm brought them overwhelming pressure. This was simply not something they could contend against.

The palm descended at incredible speed and, in the blink of an eye, clenched both giant beasts within its grasp.

"Kid, come down!" Du Busi stood on the battered grassland and waved at Qin Ze in the distance.

Hearing Du Busi's words, Qin Ze hurriedly grabbed several thin branches and descended to the ground in a few agile leaps like an ape.

When he reached Du Busi's side and looked over, Qin Ze saw a huge ball of ghost-green mist on the ground. That palm had already vanished.

Du Busi waved his hand, and the dense mist instantly dispersed, revealing the scene inside. Qin Ze looked over and saw that both the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had already fallen unconscious, lying quietly on the ground.

Of course. If they could still resist a Super Douluo, that would be truly bizarre.

Du Busi swept his gaze over the two soul beasts and said, "Choose one yourself. Both of these soul beasts suit you well."

Qin Ze solemnly nodded, then kept shifting his gaze between the two soul beasts.

After watching for more than ten seconds, Qin Ze fell into a deep dilemma. Both soul beasts possessed both offense and defense and were exceptionally powerful. This really was not an easy choice.

"Actually, I recommend choosing that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. This soul beast is a rare variant, scarce to a pitiful degree. Even I have never encountered one. There are only records of it in the secret archives of our Body Sect." Seeing that Qin Ze could not make up his mind, Du Busi helped him choose.

Qin Ze nodded. He was also more inclined toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. There was no doubt about the thing's strength. Even the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Tang San had slain back then had crossed into the world of Heavenly Jewel Change, eventually benefiting Zhou Weiqing.

"Then this junior will choose it." Qin Ze looked at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Du Busi said, "Take out your blade and stab it directly through the neck. I have already crippled this soul beast, and its defenses have weakened as well."

"Alright!" Qin Ze summoned the blade attached to his Demon Armor and walked straight up to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. With a swish, the blade in Qin Ze's hand pierced directly through the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's neck.

Pitch-black blood immediately sprayed from the wound. Fortunately, Qin Ze dodged in time, or it would have splashed onto him.

The unconscious Dark Demon Evil God Tiger felt nothing. As Qin Ze exerted more force, the blade sank deeper and deeper. A minute later, a deep yellow soul ring slowly rose from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse.

Looking at the soul ring, Qin Ze's heart gradually grew heated. As long as he absorbed it, he would become a true Soul Master.

Du Busi calmly said from the side, "Absorbing a soul ring is no trivial matter. This soul beast is also a variant, so the process will definitely be agonizing. Remember, once you guide the soul ring above your head, you must guard your mind. Do not let the soul beast's lingering will break through your defenses. Otherwise, at best your martial soul will be damaged, and at worst, you will die on the spot. Understand?"

Qin Ze took a deep breath and nodded solemnly. "This junior understands!" As he spoke, Qin Ze's gaze became resolute. If he wanted strength beyond that of ordinary people, he had to endure pain beyond that of ordinary people!

With that thought, Qin Ze sat cross-legged and closed his eyes. The Soul Power within him spread outward, forming a connection and drawing the soul ring toward him.

Pulled by Qin Ze's Soul Power, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring gradually moved toward the top of his head.

Before the soul ring even approached, Qin Ze suddenly felt a trace of icy aura wash over him, making him shudder.

Soon, the soul ring floated above Qin Ze's head. Then it rapidly shrank, becoming the size of a bracelet. Since Qin Ze's Demon Armor Martial Soul could not currently be summoned, he could only use the blade as a substitute for his martial soul. In any case, they were one entity.

The bracelet-sized soul ring directly slipped over the blade.

At that instant, Qin Ze's body jolted violently, and his face immediately tightened into a frown. He felt an incredibly dark, chilling, yet scorching energy wildly battering his body.

At the same time, waves of unwilling roars assaulted his mind.

The cold energy seemed intent on freezing his internal organs, while the scorching energy seemed intent on burning his body. The alternating cold and heat made Qin Ze groan in pain.

Du Busi watched Qin Ze, whose aura was far from stable. The moment Qin Ze encountered danger and could no longer hold on, Du Busi would intervene.

The energy produced by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring was simply too immense. Qin Ze continuously cursed in his mind with a string of colorful language.

Under the impact of that energy, Qin Ze's soul soon seemed to enter an entirely new world. Yet he did not notice it, still immersed in the agony of enduring the energy's assault.

In this world, there was nothing except a stone platform at its center.

On the stone platform floated a suit of armor giving off a faint blue glow. Beside it, a strangely shaped blade hovered motionlessly as well.

The energy within the soul ring seemed to have found an outlet and rushed directly toward the armor and blade. At the same time, roars echoed throughout this world.

Outside, blood gradually flowed from Qin Ze's mouth. His body trembled constantly, while beads of sweat the size of soybeans dripped from his forehead, eventually soaking his clothes.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring contained far too much energy. Moreover, as it possessed the most evil power left behind by an evil god, it was simply too violent.

Du Busi frowned, one hand already extended, prepared to pull Qin Ze back at his most dangerous moment. But if he did that, Qin Ze would not be able to absorb a soul ring for an entire month. That made Du Busi hesitate.

Suddenly, just as Du Busi was deciding whether to intervene, a dazzling azure light erupted from Qin Ze's body.

Du Busi's expression changed, and he was about to act. Yet before he could, his pupils abruptly contracted, and disbelief filled his face.

An azure phantom dragon condensed from Qin Ze's body. The Azure Dragon coiled around him and opened its jaws, breathing out a rich energy of Life. It poured into Qin Ze through the top of his head. In an instant, Qin Ze's body stopped trembling and became exceptionally steady.

Azure Dragon: Wood among the Five Elements!

Wood, the symbol of Life!

After releasing the energy of Life, the Azure Dragon did not vanish. Instead, it exhaled a dense dragon breath toward the sky, containing pure Life power.

The dragon breath transformed into a wind that continuously blew outward, its Life energy nourishing the earth. The wind spread swiftly and persisted for more than ten seconds before finally dissipating.

At the moment the wind faded, a strange beast over thirty kilometers from Qin Ze sensed something. It was more than three meters long, eight chi tall at the shoulder, and covered in a layer of Brilliant Golden Fur. Startled, it raised its head and abandoned the sweet flower nectar in its mouth.

Not far from that strange beast, a soul beast over five meters long and closely resembling a lion gave the flower-nectar-drinking beast a puzzled glance.

This soul beast was extremely bizarre. It actually had three heads!

Whoosh!

Just as the Three-Headed Soul Beast was puzzled, the strange beast drinking flower nectar suddenly bolted, racing in an unknown direction.

The Three-Headed Soul Beast froze at first. The next second, it panicked and chased after the strange beast, afraid that something might happen to it.
