Perfect Sacrifice, Following the Angel God

Following this, over a dozen Titled Douluo joined forces, simultaneously unleashing their soul skills to manifest a massive hand that descended to suppress the target.

The Angel Beast, on the verge of becoming a Fierce Beast, felt such despair for the first time.

The Angel Beast roared, "You greedy humans, even if This Seat chooses to self-destruct, I will never let you obtain my soul ring and soul bone."

"Judgment Sword!"

With a sharp clang, the Holy Sword in the Angel Beast's hand erupted with tyrannical sword qi, transforming into a heaven-shaking sword shadow that slashed toward the group of experts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Golden Body Douluo Jin Peng lunged to the front, his entire body coated in a layer of golden lacquer as he resolutely shouldered the blow.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Judgment Sword sheared off mountain peaks and ten-thousand-year-old trees, obliterating all soul beasts within several kilometers, before striking Jin Peng and forcibly knocking him out of his Avatar of the Martial Soul state.

The other experts from the Body Sect were also caught in the aftermath, their momentum significantly diminished.

"Hiss—! So strong."

Ye Que watched from not far away, completely stunned.

Such a powerful Angel Beast; it actually broke the Golden Body Douluo's defense with a single strike. It truly lived up to its reputation as an existence capable of going toe-to-toe with a Behemoth Beast.

However, the battle was far from over.

Du Busi charged to the forefront, leveraging the might of his Avatar of the Martial Soul to resolutely activate his Gold-level Awakening, completely suppressing the Angel Beast.

Jin Peng, the other experts, and Guangyu Douluo launched a frenzied assault.

After two rounds of attacks, not only did the Angel Beast not die, but its fighting spirit was ignited, triggering a bloodline awakening that transformed it into a Holy Angel Beast with eight wings sprouting from its back.

The expressions of Du Busi and the others shifted.

It could even perform bloodline atavism? Damn, the Angel Clan, whether human or soul beast, was devious to the extreme.

To think it could still launch a counterattack while so severely wounded.

"Humans, pay the price for your sins!"

The Angel Beast raised its Holy Sword, its eight angel wings snapping open to break through Du Busi's aerial lockdown, entering a realm of absolute dominance in the sky.

Yet, in the very next second, the space behind it shattered. Dragon Subduing Douluo's right hand transformed into a silver dragon claw, stabbing into the Angel Beast's heart when it least expected it, and squeezing down with a violent force.

With a bang, the Angel Beast's heart shattered, and its Holy Angel Beast form dissipated.

A Limit Douluo had struck, securing a kill in a single blow.

Following this, Dragon Subduing Douluo raised a hand, sealing the Angel Beast's soul power.

But even so, the Angel Beast did not die completely; its powerful bloodline had granted it the ability of a final, fleeting burst of life.

It was the spokesperson of the Angel God, the holy arbiter, yet its cultivation had stopped at one hundred and eighty thousand years.

Dragon Subduing Douluo said, "You have merely chosen a different way to remain by the Angel God's side. The Angel God will not forget your sacrifice; in the future, you shall ascend to godhood together and eradicate evil together."

"Humans and soul beasts have always devoured one another, and it is the same among soul beasts themselves. I believe in the Angel God, and I believe in you."

"Your bloodline is noble, and the bloodline of my Young Master is equally noble. If you follow my Young Master, you will be the Angel Divine Beast of the future."

The Angel Beast cursed, "Greedy human, to obtain This Seat's soul ring and soul bone, you would even utter such hypocritical words. This Seat despises you..."

Dragon Subduing Douluo sighed, his gaze shifting toward the Young Master.

At this moment, Ye Que arrived before the Angel Beast and said, "Follow me, and let us advance toward that goal together."

As he spoke, he released his Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

"Human, how could you possess..."

The Angel Beast had originally intended to perish together with this group of greedy humans, but the moment it saw the phantom of the Angel God, it let go of all its resentment.

This human had inherited the divine seed of the Angel God.

Subsequently, the Angel Beast made a decision that none of the soul beasts had anticipated.

Sacrifice!

That was right; it would attain eternal life by following the great Angel God.

Rumble—!

A red light soared into the sky, enveloping the heavens and Ye Que, as a red soul ring slowly rose.

No one had expected that this Angel Beast, with its terrifyingly high bloodline purity, would actually choose to sacrifice itself.

There was no discomfort, no shock.

The entire process lasted only one minute, comparable to the Blue Silver Emperor sacrificing herself to empower Tang Hao ten thousand years ago.

Beneath Ye Que's feet, a red fifth soul ring rose, and a terrifying wave of soul power rippled out from his body.

Following this, a diamond-shaped golden gem soul bone adhered itself to the Divine Sword.

A perfect fit, a perfect fusion.

Ye Que sensed it for only a moment before discovering that the soul of the Angel Beast had remained within the Divine Sword, bestowing a soul bone skill upon it.

Angel Sword Bone skill, Air Prohibition!

Within the domain of the Angel, no Martial Soul can ascend into the sky, unless one is a powerhouse strong enough to induce despair.

Immediately following this, Ye Que began to examine the skills of his fifth soul ring.

As an 180,000-year soul beast, the Angel Beast's fifth soul ring bestowed two skills.

These two skills were Angel Judgment and Righteous Universe Cannon.

The former is a judgment-type soul skill, while the latter is an instant-cast soul skill from the Divine Sword; it requires no charging and consists purely of attribute power.

Both are top-tier soul skills!

Once the sacrifice was complete, Du Busi reverted to his original form and chuckled, "Who would have thought? The final outcome turned out to be a sacrifice. Little Friend Ye has truly struck gold."

Dragon Subduing Douluo and Guangyu Douluo also offered smiles.

They had all assumed they would have to resort to a forced slaughter, yet they never expected the Angel Beast to choose sacrifice.

In this way, it was both effortless and worry-free.

"Pure luck, just pure luck!"

A smile hung on Ye Que's face, but his words were extremely humble; he was not carried away in the slightest.

The Angel Beast's sacrifice was completely unexpected.

Du Busi chuckled and patted Ye Que on the shoulder, saying, "Little Friend Ye is still too modest. Since the fifth soul ring is in hand, we already have a target for the sixth."

"We must withdraw from the Star Dou Forest before Di Tian discovers us, otherwise it will be dangerous."

Ye Que nodded, then immediately followed in Du Busi's footsteps, heading deeper into the core circle.

A dozen figures vanished with a series of whooshing sounds.

Not long after, the group flew into the sky above the Star Dou Forest, where a Title Douluo from the Body Sect was waiting to meet them.

This Title Douluo had not participated in the previous battle, having been stationed to watch the next target.

As soon as Du Busi and the others arrived, this powerhouse stepped forward to greet them.

"How is it?" Du Busi asked.

"Fortunately, the commotion from earlier did not affect this soul beast; we can proceed," the Title Douluo said, pointing toward an active volcanic region a few kilometers away.

High above the erupting magma of the volcano, a massive fire bird circled continuously.

It was cultivating, which was also the way this type of soul beast absorbed volcanic energy.

Du Busi narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Good, the information left behind by our sect's predecessors was indeed correct. There really is a Phoenix Bird in the core circle tainted with the blood of a Phoenix God. Judging by the luster of its feathers, it should have reached 150,000 years of cultivation—perfectly suited for Little Friend Ye."

"A pure Ultimate Fire attribute; it couldn't be more fitting."

"No time to lose, we can make our move."

Beside him, Ye Que swallowed hard and said, "Senior, isn't this too crazy? You all are truly playing for high stakes. That is a 100,000-year soul beast with an ultimate attribute; I fear there is only one in the entire Star Dou. If we really hunt it, the Beast God will go mad."

He truly hadn't expected that Du Busi would actually follow through after taking the immortal herbs, and so reliably at that—they had actually investigated the secrets of Star Dou long ago.

"Perhaps we should change targets? This Phoenix Bird is clearly the only one of its kind," Dragon Subduing Douluo also said with some concern.

Du Busi hesitated for a moment, but suddenly sensing the aura of a Great Beast coming from the core circle, he said in a deep voice, "It's too late. The Great Beast has already discovered our movements. We must end the battle within a few dozen rounds, or we won't be able to make it back."

At that moment, Ye Que looked behind him, his scalp tingling instantly.

With heavy footsteps and the oppressive presence of a Great Beast, a massive Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was charging toward them, followed by several other Great Beasts.

Without a second thought, he shouted, "Seniors, move!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!

The Title Douluos of the Body Sect moved in unison, and Dragon Subduing Douluo shattered space as he departed.
