The invincible Titan Giant Ape fell.
It was probably the most aggrieved Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast ever to die.
It hadn't even seen what its enemy looked like. It couldn't even fight back, hadn't managed to injure a single enemy, and had simply fallen like this.
But it had lasted from sunrise to sunset, so its reputation as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast hadn't been in vain.
Qin Yuan flew above the Titan Giant Ape. A Deep Purple Soul Ring lit up, and his first Soul Skill, Golden Dragon Claw, slammed viciously into the dying Titan Giant Ape's head.
Its head, corroded by the poisonous gas, was as fragile as a biscuit. One blow from Qin Yuan's claw shattered most of it.
The Titan Giant Ape stopped breathing and struggling.
A brilliant, deep red Soul Ring slowly coalesced above the Titan Giant Ape's corpse.
Dugu Bo and the other two stared at it with undisguised envy and greed.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
They couldn't use the Soul Ring, but they were sorely lacking Soul Bones!
"Heh, thanks for your help, you three." Qin Yuan didn't immediately absorb the Soul Ring. Smiling, he walked up to the three of them and cupped his fists.
Dugu Bo and the other two nodded.
"Farewell, gentlemen." Qin Yuan grabbed the Titan Giant Ape's corpse and vanished.
Dugu Bo and the other two were dumbfounded.
Wait, doing this really hurts our feelings!
Where's the trust between people?
We worked ourselves to the bone for you for a whole month, and you still don't trust us? That's infuriating!
So they decided to find Qin Yuan and teach him a memorable lesson.
And so the three Titled Douluo began searching high and low for Qin Yuan.
"Hmph! You never know what's in someone's heart. I'm not about to take that gamble."
Qin Yuan appeared in a secluded mountain ravine, dragging the Titan Giant Ape's corpse behind him.
He'd teleported over a hundred miles, and it had cost him a good deal of Soul Power. He hurried to recover as much as he could.
Nearly an hour later, Qin Yuan first dug out the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Bone.
A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was guaranteed to produce a Soul Bone—and Soul Bones were exactly what Soul Masters lacked!
It was a Right Leg Bone.
Qin Yuan put it into his Storage Soul Tool, then immediately began to draw the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring toward him and absorb it.
The Deep and Beautiful Deep Red Soul Ring responded to the pull of his Soul Power, floated above his head, then suddenly dropped and encircled him.
In an instant, an overbearing, surging force invaded Qin Yuan's body from every direction.
The energy was scorching hot, like molten lava.
As soon as it entered his body, Qin Yuan grunted. A trace of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Qin Yuan's heart jolted.
Something was wrong!
When he'd absorbed a Soul Ring nearing ninety thousand years, he'd still had strength to spare. Now that his Soul Power had reached level sixty-one, absorbing a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring shouldn't have been this difficult.
The Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring was more than a hundred thousand years old!
It had very likely reached one hundred and thirty thousand years, or even one hundred and forty or one hundred and fifty thousand!
Damn! He'd been careless!
The terrifying energy charged through Qin Yuan's body like a wild horse freed from its reins. His internal organs shifted and tore, and blood seeped out.
The energy contained the Titan Giant Ape's boundless resentment and hatred, which battered Qin Yuan's body relentlessly.
Gradually, cracks appeared across Qin Yuan's skin, splitting it open like porcelain.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of bloody mist, and his aura weakened considerably.
With no other choice, he could only draw on some of his Soul Power to use [Life Miracle].
A sacred white light welled up across his body. The cracks in his skin visibly healed, and his aura returned to its peak.
What surprised Qin Yuan most was that the energy, which had been rampaging as if it meant to tear him apart, suddenly settled down. It no longer seemed so bent on revenge.
Hmm? What was going on? Qin Yuan wondered.
A moment later, he understood.
[Life Miracle] had the ultimate effects of healing and purification. When he used it just now, he must have unintentionally purified the resentment of the Titan Giant Ape contained in the energy.
Without the Titan Giant Ape's resentment to direct it, the Soul Power inside him could only wander about aimlessly, immediately easing the pressure on Qin Yuan.
Qin Yuan was overjoyed.
He immediately set about refining this enormous surge of energy.
Even without the Titan Giant Ape's resentment guiding it, the energy was still far too vast. Refining it wouldn't be easy, and he had to prepare for a long battle.
As he refined the energy, it instinctively fought back, churning his blood and vital energy, making him cough up blood and bringing new cracks to his skin.
But whenever he was badly injured, he used [Life Miracle], recovering again and again.
And so it went, round after round. Before he knew it, a month had passed.
Qin Yuan finally refined the last trace of energy.
He abruptly opened his eyes, golden light blazing in his pupils.
At the same time, his Soul Power began to surge.
Level sixty-two!
Level sixty-three!
Level sixty-four!
Level sixty-five!
Level sixty-six!
At last, the surging Soul Power stopped.
One Titan Giant Ape Soul Ring had boosted his peak Soul Power by five whole levels!
All that grueling effort to absorb it had been worth it!
Qin Yuan grinned and immediately brought up his status panel.
He wanted to see just how many years old the Soul Ring was that had caused him so much pain.
[Name: Qin Yuan] [Age: 13] [Martial Soul: Golden Dragon] [Soul Power: Level 66] [Soul Rings: Three-Clawed Dark Gold Dragon Soul Ring (6324 years)(+), Eight-Winged Black Gold Dragon Soul Ring (4444 years)(+), Titan Tremor Roar Soul Ring (6666 years)(+), Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear Soul Ring (73895 years)(+), Jade-Eyed Black Gold Dragon Soul Ring (88888 years)(+), Titan Giant Ape Soul Ring (168856 years)(+)] [Soul Bones: Golden Dragon Wings (5444 years)(+), Ice Dragon King Soul Bone (God-tier), Fire Dragon King Soul Bone (God-tier), Jade-Eyed Black Gold Dragon External Soul Bone (88888 years)(+)] [Skills: Chess Path, Ninth Rank (7456/50000), Carving Path, Ninth Rank (5689/50000), Sword Path, Ninth Rank (1245/50000)] [Evolution Points: 1]
"Damn!"
Qin Yuan's eyes widened as he blurted out a curse.
No wonder it had been so difficult. The Soul Ring's age had far exceeded what he could withstand.
If he hadn't accidentally purified the Titan Giant Ape's resentment within the Soul Ring, he'd probably be drinking Granny Meng's soup by now.
"Whew! That was a close one!"
Qin Yuan let out a relieved breath, his heart still pounding.
He stood up and took a deep breath. Soul Rings rose one after another from beneath his feet, circling his body.
Purple, purple, purple, black, black, red!
Anyone who saw such an absurdly overpowered Soul Ring configuration would be dumbstruck, questioning everything they knew.
Qin Yuan fixed his eyes on the brilliant Deep Red Soul Ring and grinned broadly.
"Not bad."
"Beneath the heavens of Douluo Continent, who wouldn't light me a cigarette when they saw me!"
With level-sixty-six peak Soul Power, a four-hundred-percent boost, two God-tier Soul Bones, a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring—
Even an ordinary Titled Douluo would have to kneel and sing "I Surrender"!
So, do you surrender or not?
From now on, Qin Yuan would never have to let anyone hold him back again! The whole world was his to roam!
What if he ran into someone he couldn't beat?
He could always try Teleportation.
"Hahahaha!" Qin Yuan laughed a few times, then began inspecting the Titan Giant Ape Soul Skills that had appeared in his mind.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring came with two Soul Skills!
