Sacrifice, My Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring!

Yu Mingxiao and Bi Ji had no idea how long they had waited on the lakeshore when a sudden rumble shook the ground and mountains.

He looked ahead and saw Di Tian leading a giant dragon slowly toward them.

The giant dragon was covered in white scales, with two pairs of snow-white wings growing from its back.

Yu Mingxiao rose to greet them, looked at Di Tian, and said with a smile, "This is the Hundred-Thousand-Year Radiant Flying Dragon King, isn't it?"

Di Tian gave a slight nod and raised a hand in indication. "Radiant Flying Dragon King, this is the one you will be sacrificed to."

"As long as you are willing to sacrifice yourself to him, I will allow your clan to dwell near the Lake of Life."

Among the Dragon Clan, bloodline determined status. Di Tian possessed an extraordinarily powerful, pure Dragon King bloodline, second only to the Dragon God and the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings. He was a true high-ranking dragon.

High-ranking dragons naturally suppressed lower-ranking dragons and held absolute authority over them. Their hierarchy was clear-cut and nearly impossible to cross.

Therefore, no matter how unwilling the Radiant Flying Dragon King was, it could not defy Di Tian's command.

The Radiant Flying Dragon King sighed softly. "Beast God, I understand. I am willing to sacrifice myself to this human."

Yu Mingxiao raised a brow. Judging from the Radiant Flying Dragon King's tone, it did not seem particularly willing. Better paint it a pretty picture first and steady it, lest something go wrong.

"Let's begin now. I can promise that if I become a god, I will personally revive you and let you live forever with me."

The Radiant Flying Dragon King froze at his words, its heart thumping wildly as delight appeared on its face. "Human, are you telling the truth?"

"I won't deceive you," Yu Mingxiao said flatly.

"Fine. Prepare yourself. I'll sacrifice myself to you right now." The Radiant Flying Dragon King sounded far more eager, its resistance toward the sacrifice immediately fading.

After all, it had possessed no hope before, whereas Yu Mingxiao had now given it something to look forward to.

Di Tian frowned slightly, instantly seeing Yu Mingxiao in a new light. Whether his words were true or false, Di Tian could not match his effortless ability to paint such a convincing picture.

It was almost unbelievable that he was merely a ten-year-old human child.

Yu Mingxiao adjusted his condition and said with a light smile, "I'm ready. You may begin the sacrifice."

"As a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, I can condense a Spirit Bone. There are six Spirit Bone positions, and you may choose any one of them. You know about the six Spirit Bone positions, right?" the Radiant Flying Dragon King said.

"A Spirit Bone from one of the six major positions?" Yu Mingxiao pondered for a moment, then smiled. "Can you condense an External Soul Bone? For example, a wing bone?"

"An External Soul Bone?" The Radiant Flying Dragon King considered it, then said gravely, "No problem. I will condense a complete External Wing Bone. The sacrifice begins now, human brat!"

The instant its words fell, a golden halo abruptly spread outward, enveloping the Radiant Flying Dragon King and Yu Mingxiao.

At the same time, a dazzling golden beam shot into the sky from the Radiant Flying Dragon King's body and wrapped around Yu Mingxiao.

Its body gradually turned into pure gold, like the clearest light in heaven and earth.

"Human, remember your promise."

The Radiant Sacred Dragon King's body ignited with golden flames, which burned its bloodline, its cultivation, and everything it possessed.

The golden fire burned ever brighter. Gradually, its body became hazy and faded away until it vanished entirely.

In the end, it transformed into a blood-red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring that encircled Yu Mingxiao, while a pair of sacred wings slowly unfurled behind him.

"So... this is a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?" Yu Mingxiao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled.

At that moment, he felt his strength surge enormously, at least ten times greater than before.

Because of his Ultimate Attribute, his level had risen to level fifty-six. The two Soul Skills he had gained were both quite good.

Light Dragon God Claw: Condenses high-intensity light-attribute energy into the dragon claw. A single claw strike can tear apart shields, ignore Soul Power defense and physical defense, and inflict a 100% vulnerability effect for twenty minutes.

Any target, regardless of what damage it suffered, would take an additional 100% of that damage.

Golden Scale Protection: Covers the body in radiant dragon scale armor, greatly increasing physical defense and Soul Power defense. Upon receiving fatal damage, it automatically triggers a light shield and healing effect, reducing the damage taken.

At the same time, when he broke through level fifty, he had also activated a domain: the Radiant Sacred Domain.

Within the domain, all his attributes increased by 20%, his spiritual power increased by 20%, and all enemy attributes were weakened by 20%.

It purified poison, curses, and dark corruption; dispelled all enemy enhancement effects; continuously healed allies; and restored their Soul Power.

The External Soul Bone had already fused into his body during the sacrifice. It had even thoughtfully helped him completely fuse with it in one step, making it impossible for anyone else to snatch away.

This External Soul Bone naturally had skills as well. Yu Mingxiao was sure they would be excellent, but now was not the time to inspect them. Di Tian was still waiting outside.

He looked around and found that the area had suddenly become lively. There was now a massive Giant Python, a Soul Beast Gorilla with muscles as solid as granite, and an enormous Pink Rabbit.

Di Tian seemed to see his confusion. He stepped forward, patted Yu Mingxiao's shoulder lightly, and said, "The sacrifice caused quite a disturbance. You woke them, so they came out to inspect the situation."

"These three Soul Beasts are only allowed to appear at the Lake of Life with my permission. They will not harm you."

Yu Mingxiao nodded slightly and casually replied, "I know."

His gaze landed on the rabbit as tall as a two-story building, and he thought, Is this Xiao Wu, or Xiao Wu's mother?

It was unclear whether Xiao Wu's mother had already taken human form, but in any case, there were only a few decades left before Bibi Dong hunted her down.

At this time, even if she had not yet taken human form, she was probably close.

Seeing him stare at the rabbit, Di Tian said, "This is a Soft Bone Rabbit over ninety thousand years old. It is close to breaking through to a hundred thousand years. Why do you keep staring at it? Do you want it for your sixth Soul Ring?"

Over ninety thousand years... then this was Xiao Wu. With how fierce this Lady Wu was, Tang San probably would not even be able to carry her.

Yu Mingxiao understood and said with a smile, "Di Tian, if I'm not mistaken, this Soft Bone Rabbit has a mother. She has already taken human form, hasn't she?"

Di Tian seemed accustomed to Yu Mingxiao's peculiar habit of knowing a little about everything. He nodded lightly. "You guessed correctly. This Soft Bone Rabbit has a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit mother."

"She could not survive the Heavenly Tribulation, so she secretly chose to take human form."

Di Tian did not care much about Soul Beasts that took human form. Besides, they had caught a Super Ice Silkworm from the Far North and were busy absorbing its Soul Power, leaving them even less time to concern themselves with such matters.

Yu Mingxiao raised a brow and asked, "Then have you found its mother?"

Di Tian shook his head and said gravely, "Douluo Continent is so vast. How would we know where that Soft Bone Rabbit ran off to?"

"If you want to absorb the Soul Ring of this Soft Bone Rabbit for your sixth Soul Ring in the future, I can help it break through to a hundred thousand years."
