Douluo: I've Already Cultivated Immortality, and You're Still Calling Me a Title Douluo? Chapter 42

"Soul beasts that look this cute are obviously up to no good!"

After Dai Mubai, the leader of the Six Monsters, confirmed that Xiao Wu was a soul beast,

he immediately voiced his thoughts—or rather, his opinion.

"A being that has lived for ten thousand years pretended to be so pure, innocent, and clueless in front of us. That's terrifying... and... and disgusting, isn't it?"

Because they had not known each other for very long,

the Shrek Six Monsters had not yet formed particularly deep friendships.

And now that they had discovered Xiao Wu was a soul beast,

they instinctively put some distance between themselves and her.

Listening to her former friends and classmates speak one after another, listening to what they said,

Xiao Wu's heart... grew cold.

After gradually coming back to her senses,

a thought emerged in Xiao Wu's mind.

It was a simple thought.

If Third Brother learned her true identity, how would he... react?

As she thought about it,

Xiao Wu gradually became afraid.

She feared that the Third Brother she had longed for would be like Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, or Ma Hongjun—disgusted by her and distancing himself from her after learning who she was.

Meanwhile,

high in the azure sky.

Watching the scene before her,

Qian Renxue could not help but think, What exactly is his goal...?

"He came to the Star Dou Great Forest only a few hours ago. First, he subdued a sixty-thousand-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as a mount. Then, he coerced the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, into sacrificing itself."

"And now, he has even captured a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that transformed into a human. I... truly understand him less and less."

At that thought,

an obvious look of curiosity appeared on Qian Renxue's stunning face.

She had to get to the bottom of this secret!

To ensure that this sacrifice went without a hitch,

the four Title Douluo immediately stood guard around it.

Demon Bear Douluo stood in the north, Ghost Leopard Douluo in the south, Sting-Puff Douluo guarded the east, and Snake Lance Douluo was responsible for the west.

Four Title Douluo

were protecting a sacrifice.

This truly was unprecedented and would likely never happen again.

"Who would've thought that I'd get to witness a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast sacrifice in my lifetime? Tsk, tsk, tsk. I must have accumulated blessings over eight lifetimes, huh?"

Ma Hongjun stared fixedly at the Titan Giant Ape. As he muttered, his face was filled with anticipation.

Hearing that,

Dai Mubai crossed his arms over his chest and said unhappily, "Fatty, if you want to watch, then watch. Keep it down!"

Very soon,

the sacrificial ritual began.

To protect his beloved Xiao Wu,

the Titan Giant Ape had no choice but to sacrifice itself.

Red flames began to burn across the Titan Giant Ape's body. But they were not flames—they were an extremely special kind of... blood flame.

And what burned within those blood flames

was the Titan Giant Ape's blood, life, and its hundred-thousand-year cultivation.

The blood flames burned ever more fiercely,

gradually changing from red to dark crimson.

The Titan Giant Ape's body also gradually faded during this transformation, becoming like increasingly transparent red crystal.

As time slowly passed,

all the crimson blood flames expanded into a massive ring and gradually contracted around Dugu Yan, the recipient of the sacrifice.

Looking at that blood-red color,

looking at that scarlet soul ring,

not only were the people from Shrek frozen in place, but even Peak Douluo like Demon Bear and Ghost Leopard were deeply shaken by the sight before them.

A sacrifice.

This was a sacrifice!

Having witnessed this scene, they could likely live the rest of their lives without regrets.

"Er Ming!"

At that moment, Xiao Wu let out a heart-wrenching roar.

If she had not been so playful,

if she had not insisted on going to the human world,

if she had not loved playing so much that she insisted on spending every day with Tang San,

then the Titan Giant Ape probably would not have needed to sacrifice itself today... would not have needed to... die.

At that moment,

Xiao Wu was filled with regret.

But who could she blame for all this?

Blame Lu Yunzhu? What a joke. What had Lu Yunzhu done wrong? As a human, was there anything wrong with him hunting soul beasts?

Conversely, was the Titan Giant Ape, as a soul beast, wrong for killing humans?

There was no right or wrong in this world.

There were only differing positions.

In short, whoever lived to the end, whoever stood to the end, was in the right!

Chapter 40: Giving Away a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Taking Xiao Wu Away

In the end,

Dugu Yan successfully obtained her fourth soul ring—the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring granted by the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape!

Yellow, yellow, purple, red!

Such a heaven-defying soul ring configuration

was destined to be unprecedented and unmatched.

Seeing this scene,

everyone from Shrek found it utterly unbelievable. If it had not happened right before their eyes,

they would never have believed that on the present-day Douluo Continent,

someone's fourth soul ring

could actually reach the Hundred Thousand Year level!

"For some reason, I suddenly want to switch sides and work for Mr. Lu."

Sting-Puff Douluo Ci Xue stared enviously at Dugu Yan as he softly voiced the thoughts in his heart.

"Me too."

Beside him, after unconsciously swallowing,

Snake Lance Douluo She Long also muttered quietly.

"A Hundred Thousand Year fourth soul ring?! This really is... there are always greater people beyond people, and greater heavens beyond heaven!"

He had once believed

that possessing Innate Full Soul Power made him a peerless genius seen only once in a thousand years. His future was surely bound to be brilliant, with few capable of matching him.

But now, compared to Dugu Yan, whose fourth soul ring was already a Hundred Thousand Year one,

Oscar felt somewhat like a clown... insignificant, or perhaps ridiculous.

"Thank you, Brother!"

Looking at the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on her body,

Dugu Yan was happy from the bottom of her heart. With this, she had become a leading figure among the younger generation of the Soul Master World.

With the energy brought by this Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring,

Dugu Yan directly reached Rank 47 of the Soul Ancestor realm.

At present, she needed to properly consolidate her foundation. Otherwise, if her foundation was not solid, it would be bad for her future.

"Go back and rest for a while. Absorbing this soul ring must have tired you out."

Hearing that,

Dugu Yan nodded slightly.

As a satisfied, gratified expression appeared on his face, Lu Yunzhu directly dismissed her.

Dugu Yan obediently did as she was told.

Afterward,

she returned to the Cloud Boat with her close friend Ye Lingling.

Ye Lingling stared directly at Lu Yunzhu's tall, straight figure, her gaze somewhat unfocused as she clearly pondered something.

After gradually coming back to her senses,

Ye Lingling muttered to herself, "If he were to act... then that matter... should be easily resolved, right?"

After Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan left,

Lu Yunzhu glanced at the Titan Giant Ape's corpse and extended one hand.

The next moment,

a left arm bone produced by the Titan Giant Ape flew out from its corpse and arrived in Lu Yunzhu's hand in the blink of an eye.

"A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone?!"

Looking at that gleaming bone,
