Damn, I Wasn't the Child of the Stars' First Fierce Beast?!
"Since you're here, don't even think about leaving."
"My dear disciple, a Soul Beast that barely matches your status and talent has appeared. Your master will capture it for you!"
Mu En moved in an instant.
That aged body erupted with astonishing power. His foot left behind a crater a full meter wide, and with one punch, he sent Scarlet King flying!
Even space trembled from the impact!
Nine Soul Rings appeared around that elderly body, their configuration being yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black, red, red, red!
There were no fewer than three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, dazzling and brilliant enough to leave any Soul Master in awe.
Even Ma Xiaotao was stunned at that moment. This was the Pavilion Master of their Sea God Pavilion!
This was her grandmaster, the Dragon God Douluo, Mu En!
"Limit Douluo? You're actually a Limit Douluo!"
Scarlet King had gotten off to a terrible start, taking Mu En's punch head-on. When it looked up, a massive white holy dragon had appeared behind the gray-clad elder, radiating an incomparably dense and dazzling light element.
Rule the World!
Mu En struck decisively. He glanced at Su Qingfeng. See that, disciple? Don't let your master's old appearance fool you. My strength is still formidable. Go on, admire your master!
"Qingfeng, watch carefully. This is not a Soul Skill, yet it surpasses one. It is called Rule the World. Not only can it be applied to any Soul Skill, but it can also fuse spiritual power with physical attacks.
"Once an attack infused with Rule the World defeats an opponent, it will crush their confidence as well. No matter when they face you again, they will feel incapable of standing against the one who wielded Rule the World."
"One day, I must pass this move on to you. Combined with your Immortal Realm, it may produce even better results!"
As Mu En spoke to Su Qingfeng, he pointed one hand at Scarlet King. Behind him, the enormous holy dragon gathered a beam of dragon light in its mouth. It looked immensely powerful, filled with the destructive force of light.
Mu En looked calmly at Scarlet King and said, "I thought finding a Hundred-Thousand-Year fire-attribute Soul Beast would already be a miracle. What a pity that it is Scarlet King, with nearly three hundred thousand years of cultivation, and that you even brought a Lucky Beast with you."
"Today, only one of you and the Lucky Beast may live. Scarlet King, do you hope the one who dies is yourself, or the Lucky Beast?"
Having already been struck by Mu En's Rule the World, and being weaker than Mu En to begin with, Scarlet King had already developed fear toward him.
Coupled with Mu En's psychologically pressuring words, it had no choice but to make a sacrifice.
"Humans, if you dare kill the Lucky Beast, all Soul Beasts will never forgive you! The Ten Great Ferocious Beasts will remember your scent and avenge the Lucky Beast one day!"
Scarlet King's four paws stepped onto the magma without being harmed. Black-red flames erupted from its entire body, looking exceptionally mysterious. Though dark crimson in color, they were actually hotter than the blood-red magma.
Roar!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been drawn to Su Qingfeng and had resolved to follow him, even to merge into the Polar Stars.
Only now, startled by the battle between Mu En and Scarlet King, did she turn back. Her third eye blossomed with dazzling radiance. Its brilliance actually overwhelmed Mu En's Radiant Holy Dragon, and a powerful surge of spiritual force accompanied it as it struck toward Mu En.
Mu En could not help but marvel. "As expected of a Lucky Beast. Though your cultivation is not yet profound, you actually possess the Ultimate Light attribute, and your spiritual power is so formidable. If you had more than five hundred thousand years of cultivation, you would be incredible. Unfortunately, you emerged too early."
"I had originally intended to choose between you and Scarlet King. But now, it seems that you are Qingfeng's most suitable Second Soul Ring!"
Mu En reached toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with one hand, while the dragon claw of the terrifying Radiant Holy Dragon behind him also swatted toward her.
Seeing this, Scarlet King swiftly made its choice. It had been drawn here by the Polar Stars and had already wanted to merge with them, but it bore the responsibility of protecting the Lucky Beast, which was why it had hesitated.
Now, under Mu En's threat, it had no other choice.
A powerful force erupted from its body. A dark-red bridge rapidly formed between it and Su Qingfeng, and it walked toward Su Qingfeng step by step.
The starry sky unfolded, and the Nine Extreme Stars flickered continuously. Scarlet King, too, was deeply drawn in by that power and aura, and the most fundamental power within its body surged forth.
"A sacrifice—it's a sacrifice! A three-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast's sacrifice!"
Ma Xiaotao was blasted away by that force and nearly fell into the magma. In the end, she steadied herself atop a lava pillar amid the molten flow, watching that miraculous scene in shock.
"Little Junior, what exactly are you trying to do? You're obtaining a Soul Ring of this level as your Second Soul Ring. I thought Grandmaster's three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings were already among the very best, but you're even more extraordinary."
"But this is what matches your aura and talent. As expected of the boy I have my eye on!"
Ma Xiaotao was trembling with excitement, happy for Su Qingfeng.
When a Soul Beast of such an advanced age offered a sacrifice, the Soul Ring it bestowed was highly likely to be a growth-type Soul Ring. As the Soul Master's strength increased, it could eventually rise to at least the Soul Beast's peak cultivation before death. In other words, Su Qingfeng's Second Soul Ring would one day return to the three-hundred-thousand-year level!
Once he became a Titled Douluo, wouldn't his second Soul Skill be enough to destroy heaven and earth?
"Human, you are the most sacred and pure Soul Master I have ever seen. Starlight spreads across the universe, and the True Lord shines within it. I am willing to submit to you, Child of the Stars."
"The Lucky Beast is the hope of our Soul Beast race. If you can treat her kindly, Scarlet King will sincerely offer you its strength and become your loyal assistant."
Scarlet King's Sacrifice Domain pushed everything away, while flames seemingly from Hell burned around them.
Scarlet King pleaded with Su Qingfeng.
The powerful sacrificial force made it impossible for Su Qingfeng to move much. With great effort, he managed to say one sentence:
"Don't worry... I won't hurt... the Lucky Beast..."
Upon receiving Su Qingfeng's assurance, Scarlet King was finally at ease.
"I believe the Child of the Stars, who has gathered the power of countless stars in the heavens to descend into this world, harbors no intent to deceive. The flames of Hell, the red hellhound from the Underworld, shall become your loyal companion!"
Scarlet King's entire body transformed into dark-red flames. Its vast Soul Power poured into Su Qingfeng's body, while the soul of the Three-Headed Red Hellhound entered Su Qingfeng's Sea of Consciousness.
Within it, Scarlet King crazily released its own energy. On one hand, it strengthened Su Qingfeng's power; on the other, it was venting itself, moving about as though no one else were there. This would be where it lived from now on!
Roar!!!
Soon, the second Polar Star in the starry sky behind Su Qingfeng lit up. It burned with raging black-red flames, shining brilliantly as it became the Fire Star, forming a polar contrast with the Ice Extreme Star beside it.
If one looked closely, however, one would discover that the Ice Extreme Star's pressure and aura still held the upper hand.
Snow Empress's figure suddenly appeared within Su Qingfeng's Sea of Consciousness. She clearly disliked Scarlet King and directly pressed it into a corner.
"This is not a place where you call the shots. Go stay in the corner! And as for the most loyal companion, that position isn't yours to claim!"
Scarlet King was utterly terrified. There was actually a Soul Beast inside here whose cultivation was even higher than its own!
Was that the Heavenly Snow Woman, ranked third among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts?!
Scarlet King was completely dumbfounded!
