Star Dou Sacrifice

The Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape calmed down; even the Titan Giant Ape, with its irritable nature and impulsive, reckless temperament, was deeply conflicted at this moment.

Because they saw determination in the eyes of Su Yun Tao, and as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, their intelligence was long since no less than that of humans, so they naturally understood exactly what the situation was.

"Human!" the Sky Azure Bull Python spoke up. "I admire your courage; an existence like an ant actually dares to threaten a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!"

Su Yun Tao smiled. "Sky Azure Bull Python, in truth, I do not wish to take risks, but risk and opportunity coexist. If one does not enter the tiger's den, how can one catch the tiger's cub?"

"In fact, I am very clear in my heart that although you are immensely powerful as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, you possess things you cannot bear to part with, which is why the initiative in this transaction lies with me!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python sighed. It had anticipated this from the very beginning; this human soul master clearly knew where its weakness lay, which was why he dared to come alone and place his life in its hands.

"Human, I admit that you indeed possess an extraordinary aura. Although your strength is still very low, I see something different in you. Perhaps one day in the future, you truly might become a god."

Su Yun Tao smiled. "Sky Azure Bull Python, does this mean you agree to sacrifice yourself to me?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded solemnly and said, "Human, you have planned all of this long ago. Do you think I have any other choice now? You knew of my existence from the start, you knew the personality traits of myself and Er Ming, and furthermore, you even know the greatest secrets of our soul beast clan like the back of your hand!"

"Perhaps, just as you said, you are not a person of this time and space, but you understand everything about this world, so I have no choice. I hope you can keep your promise."

Su Yun Tao bowed slightly and performed a salute. "Sky Azure Bull Python, I have sworn upon my character; I will naturally keep my promise. Please believe me, in the near future, you will be resurrected in the God Realm and will no longer have to worry about your lifespan."

"Big Brother!" the Titan Giant Ape said hurriedly. "Are you really planning to sacrifice yourself to this human!"

"Er Ming, you need not say more. I know you do not wish to see such a thing, but we have no other choice. After I die, keep my soul bone safe, and when Sister Xiao Wu returns, give it to this person."

"From now on, Sister Xiao Wu will be under your protection. Remember, do not tell her about my affairs; let her continue to live happily!"

The Titan Giant Ape's expression became unusually calm, and although it tried its best to control itself, two lines of tears still slid down its cheeks. Its brother, who had accompanied it for countless years, was suddenly about to leave like this; although it had long known this day would come sooner or later, when it truly arrived, it still could not accept it.

The Sky Azure Bull Python said calmly, "Er Ming, do not grieve for me. My days have long been numbered, and even you do not have much time left. The only thing we can do now is to protect Sister Xiao Wu well and let her grow up safely!"

The Titan Giant Ape nodded desperately and said, "Big Brother, rest assured, I will definitely protect Sister Xiao Wu well. I will use my own life to guard her safe growth!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python sighed, "Er Ming, I see something different in this human. Although I do not personally believe this human is trustworthy, perhaps one day in the future, I really will be able to revive from the God Realm."

The Titan Giant Ape felt pity in its heart, but it said nothing more. Although in its mind, the so-called becoming a god and resurrection was nothing more than a joke—this human could not become a god, and even if he luckily did, the Titan Giant Ape did not believe he would resurrect its brother in the God Realm.

Although it thought this way, facing its brother who was about to leave, it did not want to say anything else. Letting its brother die in peace with this sliver of hope was the only thing it could do now.

The Sky Azure Bull Python exhorted, "Er Ming, your wisdom is not bad, but your personality is reckless and impulsive. After I am gone, you must restrain your temper. Once I am gone, only you will be able to shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting Sister Xiao Wu. Remember, do not be impulsive in anything! Think more!"

"Big Brother, rest assured! I will definitely change in the future!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded, then looked up at the sky and gazed at the Star Dou Great Forest where it had lived for countless years. Then, it said with a firm tone, "Human, I have lived for countless years and have long since grown tired of such a life. Death is not something I cannot accept."

"But I must warn you, you must keep your promise. Even if I am dead, my remaining will will still reside within my soul ring and soul bone. If you break your oath, you will eventually face retribution!"

Su Yun Tao nodded and said, "Sky Azure Bull Python, I believe your words, and I will naturally keep my oath! I, Su Yun Tao, have my own principles in this life!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python nodded, and then its eyes erupted with unprecedented red light. Its massive body ignited with a layer of blood-colored flames; it was burning its own life force!

"Er Ming! Sister Xiao Wu is entrusted to you from now on!"

The Titan Giant Ape, whose body was as tall as a mountain, was now like a child, weak and helpless. The tears in its eyes could no longer be controlled and began to stream out.

The Sky Azure Bull Python took one last look at this world, and then the blood-colored flames burned even more fiercely. A massive blood-colored magnetic field appeared out of thin air, enveloping it and Su Yun Tao within.

In an instant, countless rays of blood-colored light surged into Su Yun Tao's body, and as the red light poured in, the Sky Azure Bull Python's body began to turn ethereal; clearly, it was actively merging into Su Yun Tao's body.

"Human, you will become the first soul master in the history of the Douluo Continent whose third soul ring is a Hundred-Thousand-Year one. I have used everything I have to create an unprecedented path of cultivation for you! I believe that with the assistance of my soul ring and soul bone, you will definitely go very far on the path of cultivation."

"I hope you can keep your promise, otherwise, I will not let you go even as a ghost!"

Su Yun Tao said with a solemn expression, "Sky Azure Bull Python, sleep peacefully. I will always remember everything you have brought me. Please believe me, I will definitely resurrect you with my own hands in the God Realm!"

"Good!" The Sky Azure Bull Python was already completely ethereal, its massive body beginning to dissipate, its final voice echoing across this land.

"Human, I, the Sky Azure Bull Python, have lived a mediocre life, but if I can save Sister Xiao Wu today and save the Lord, then this life of mine was worth it!"
