What Do You Mean There Are Million-Year Soul Beasts?
"That's enough!"
Upon hearing Qing Mu's words, Dugu Bo let out a long sigh of relief. Being able to get rid of the Spirit Hall meant that the two sides had at least reached some kind of agreement, and there shouldn't be any problems in the future.
But he soon realized something was wrong.
"Etc..."
Dugu Bo stared at Qing Mu in shock. "What did you just say? You killed four Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall, and you even killed Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall?"
Qing Mu nodded, even sighing, and said, "That's right, but it's a pity that my strength is still a bit weak. I couldn't keep Qian Daoliu and let him go back. We need to be careful of the Spirit Hall's Revenge."
This is what Qing Mu is most worried about. After all, it is impossible for him to protect so many people at all times. Besides Qing Mu, the strongest Combat Power is Dugu Bo, a titled Douluo.
If he is not present and the Spirit Hall launches an attack, Dugu Bo alone will absolutely not be able to stop it.
"Hiss~"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo immediately gasped in shock; this news was truly astounding!
The legendary Limit Douluo Qian Daoliu, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall Bibi Dong, and several Title Douluo joined forces, but not only could they not capture Qing Mu, they were instead killed by Qing Mu, including the current Pope of the Spirit Hall Bibi Dong!
If this news gets out, it will probably cause a sensation throughout the entire continent!
After a long while, Dugu Bo finally came to his senses. Looking at Qing Mu in front of him with a complicated expression, he said in Youyou voice, "Killing five Title Douluo in one battle and scaring Qian Daoliu fleeing for his life, is this what you call 'few and far between'?"
Dugu Bo did not doubt that Qing Mu was lying. First, Qing Mu was not the type to boast, and second, such a lie was meaningless and too easily exposed. If he were to lie, Qing Mu would be the one to lose face.
"Senior Dugu, I'm not lying about that."
Qing Mu smiled and shook her head, then looked into the distance as if traversing time and space, and said in a solemn tone, "Senior Dugu Bo, where do you think Qian Daoliu's strength ranks in this world?"
"This..."
Dugu Bo pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "I think you should be able to rank in the top three, right? Of course, if we include you, this oddball, you might have to move down one place."
This top three ranking is not something Dugu Bo made up randomly, but rather something he carefully considered.
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo naturally knew some secrets. He had heard of Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen, two former legends in the Soul Master World, and even had heard of Bo Saixi, the High Priest of Sea God Island.
It's just that they haven't appeared for so long that people suspect they're dead.
However, since Qian Daoliu is still alive, Tang Chen and Bo Saixi, the other two Limit Douluo, must also be alive. Therefore, it's reasonable for Qian Daoliu the top three. After all, there can't possibly be any other Limit Douluo, right?
"If we're only talking about Spirit Master, your judgment is correct, but this world isn't just populated by humans!" Qing Mu said meaningfully.
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted sharply, clearly understanding Qing Mu's implied meaning.
Dugu Bo frowned and stroked his chin. "Qing Mu, are you saying that there's Soul Beast stronger than Qian Daoliu? But what kind of 100,000-year-old Soul Beast is that strong?"
In Dugu Bo's view, although Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are strong, the Combat Power of an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is only equivalent to that of a level 95 Title Douluo.
Even a mutant like the Titan Giant Ape is at most comparable to a Title Douluo of level 96 or 97, and is no match for Qian Daoliu. You must know that Qian Daoliu is Limit Douluo of Level Ninety-Nine, just one step away from becoming a god. The two are not even on the same level.
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is indeed impossible!"
Qing Mu nodded, but then gave a wicked smile, "But... what if it's Soul Beast that's two hundred thousand years old, three hundred thousand years old, or even a million years old?"
"Million-Year Soul Beast?"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo was slightly taken aback, but then his brows furrowed even deeper. "Million-Year Soul Beast? Impossible. Isn't it said that after Soul Beast breaks through 100,000 years, it can only live for a maximum of 1,000 years? If Soul Beast can live for a million years, then why do they need to transform into humans?"
What Qing Mu said was beyond his worldview. In his mind, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was the highest level of Soul Beast, and he had never even heard of Million-Year Soul Beast.
"Senior Dugu, look what this is!"
Qing Mu did not continue to refute, but instead directly activated his Soul Ring. Seven Soul Ring —yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, and gold-red—appeared around Qing Mu Qing Mu, rotating up and down around him.
Seeing Qing Mu unfold her Soul Ring, Dugu Bo subconsciously looked over, and then exclaimed in amazement.
Not only is Qing Mu's Fourth Soul Ring a ten-thousand-year level, but his Seventh Soul Ring is also Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring, which is the most hated spirit ring for Spirit Master. It is hard to imagine how powerful the bonus that Martial Soul Avatar of this age can provide to Qing Mu would be.
"Huh? Qing Mu, what's wrong with your Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring? Could it be...?"
Suddenly, Dugu Bo noticed that Qing Mu's Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring seemed to be somewhat different from ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
An ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring is entirely blood red, but Qing Mu's ' Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring ' has some golden patterns within its blood red color.
Seeing that Dugu Bo had noticed something amiss, Qing Mu smiled and explained, "That's right, this is Soul Ring that's over 100,000 years old. When Soul Beast reaches 200,000 years old, the Soul Ring it produces will have golden patterns on its blood-red surface, and the higher the age, the more golden patterns it contains."
My Seventh Soul Ring comes from a Soul Beast that is nearly 400,000 years old, the Ice Jade Emperor Scorpion!
I made a deal with her, and in return, she was willing to sacrifice herself for me."
"As for what you said about Soul Beast only living for a thousand years after a hundred thousand years, it's because every hundred thousand years, Soul Beast must undergo a Heavenly Tribulation. If it fails to overcome it, it will perish. Therefore, not all Soul Beast Soul Beast break through the hundred thousand-year barrier; only a very few can."
Listening to Qing Mu's series of explanations, Dugu Bo was momentarily dazed. He had no idea that Soul Beast had such hidden secrets.
Then, Dugu Bo pondered and said, "From what you're saying, after Soul Beast reaches 100,000 years old, it will have to undergo the Heavenly Tribulation at most a thousand years later. Some Soul Beast are not confident that they can survive it, so they transform into human form?"
"That's right, but there are also some special reasons why they can take human form." Qing Mu nodded.
"Is that so? Then I am indeed ignorant."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard and nodded slightly.
"However..." Suddenly, Dugu Bo changed the subject, speaking with some worry, "According to you, Soul Beast have to undergo a life-or-death tribulation every 100,000 years, and only a small percentage of Soul Beast can successfully overcome it each time. Doesn't that mean that Soul Beast that live to be a million years old are incredibly powerful?"
