He Had to Succeed

"Attack!"

The moment the Blue Silver King transformed into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor, Qian Yu spoke in a low voice.

Once a Soul Beast transformed into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, its bloodline, innate talents, and strength would undergo a qualitative change, no matter what method it used.

They had to kill him while he was still weak.

What was more, Qian Yu couldn't be sure whether Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin would sense anything amiss once the Blue Silver King transformed into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Blue Silver Emperor.

They didn't have much time.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Fire Dragon Instant Kill!"

Yan didn't hesitate at all. He immediately used his Martial Soul Avatar, then unleashed his most powerful attack.

Amplified by his Martial Soul Avatar, Yan's Eighth Soul Skill grew even stronger, its attack power reaching the level of a Titled Douluo.

With the slightest misstep, even a weaker Titled Douluo could be killed instantly.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Demonic Charm!"

Xie Yue and Hu Liena also immediately used their Martial Soul Avatars, then unleashed their Martial Soul Fusion Skill once more.

With their current cultivation and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their strength had likewise reached the level of a Titled Douluo.

Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, meanwhile, immediately unleashed their Ninth Soul Skills. They were determined to crush the Dark Blue Silver Emperor before them.

At the same time, Qian Yu's second Martial Soul, the Angel Holy Sword, appeared.

A platinum-colored God-Level Soul Ring circled it, flashing with dazzling light.

He had wanted a tool-type Martial Soul as his second Martial Soul partly to conceal his identity. Once his strength improved further, he could cultivate the Angel Martial Soul.

That way, he would be able to follow a completely different path.

But he had never imagined that Qian Renxue would become a Soul Ring for his second Martial Soul, with her soul concealed within it.

He had no choice but to settle for cultivating the Angel Martial Soul.

Still, that wasn't so bad. This way, he could add Soul Rings with even greater age to his second Martial Soul, and when the time came, his strength would surely grow even greater.

The only problem was that finding Soul Rings was a major challenge.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Dark Blue Silver Emperor was indeed powerful. It had awakened a devouring innate Soul Skill as soon as it broke through. But it had only just broken through, and besides, the fighting strength they had at their disposal was equivalent to that of four Titled Douluos. Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo alone now possessed fighting strength no less than that of an ordinary Level 95 Titled Douluo.

Against such a lineup, the Dark Blue Silver Emperor was crushed and suppressed in a single exchange.

"First Soul Skill, Angel Judgment!"

Seizing his chance, Qian Yu activated the Soul Skill of his God-Level Soul Ring and dealt the Dark Blue Silver Emperor a fatal blow.

A powerful, scorching, and sacred force instantly extinguished the last spark of life in the Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor.

"How could this happen?"

He could clearly feel his power fading and his body collapsing, but the Dark Blue Silver Emperor simply couldn't accept it.

He had already transformed into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

He had thought that once his strength increased, everything would be under his control. He had never expected to underestimate the strength of these human Soul Masters after all.

As the Dark Blue Silver Emperor died with resentment in his heart, a deep crimson Soul Ring appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Whether it's the Blue Silver Emperor or the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, at the end of the day, they're still just Blue Silver Grass."

"So what if they transform into Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts? They're still useless!"

Qian Yu had never thought the Blue Silver Emperor was a powerful Soul Beast. Especially in this era, every other Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was stronger than the Blue Silver Emperor. Even that useless rabbit was its natural enemy.

He didn't immediately go absorb the Soul Ring. First, he took a Dragon Ganoderma Leaf from his Storage Soul Tool and ate it, then circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill to rapidly recover his Soul Power and bring himself into peak condition.

Half an hour later, Qian Yu opened his eyes and resolutely walked toward the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"I'll handle the energy in the Soul Ring myself, but you'll have to deal with the mental shock contained within it."

Qian Yu was speaking to Qian Renxue.

"Leave it to me. You can rest assured. What I need most right now is the soul energy of a Soul Beast with such pure life attributes. It'll help me recover much better."

Qian Renxue answered confidently.

Hearing this, Qian Yu genuinely wanted to say that it was precisely because he was leaving it to her that he couldn't feel reassured.

But he suppressed the thought and kept it to himself.

Then Qian Yu revealed his Martial Soul and began absorbing the energy within the Soul Ring.

A violent torrent of Soul Power surged into Qian Yu's body, crashing against his flesh and bones like floodwaters bursting through a dam.

The tremendous force rampaged through him, as if it meant to destroy everything.

Even with a full set of God-Level Soul Bones supporting his body, and all the tempering and enhancement he had received from Soul Ring energy, he still felt as though he would be torn apart by the raging power.

He could feel that he was like a little boat adrift in a vast ocean, liable to capsize and be destroyed at any moment.

All he could do was circulate his Martial Soul to suppress the power, then circulate the Mysterious Heaven Skill to devour and refine the immense Soul Power as quickly as he could.

"Can he really succeed?"

Seeing Qian Yu's condition, everyone watching from outside was filled with worry.

After spending so much time with him, they no longer saw Qian Yu merely as a junior who represented their hope. They had come to regard him sincerely as one of their own—as someone who belonged among the people they had known before.

Without Qian Yu, they wouldn't be where they were today.

Without Qian Yu, who knew where each of them would still be, wallowing in despair?

Sometimes, even they themselves couldn't believe that Qian Yu could succeed.

They were so steadfast because they had chosen to deceive themselves.

To regain their confidence and restore their former glory, they needed a goal to strive toward.

Now, gathered together, they seemed full of fighting spirit and confidence.

If anything happened to Qian Yu, their group would instantly lose its purpose and fall apart once more.

Even if they stayed together, they would never again share that same grand ambition.

"You have to believe in him. He'll definitely succeed."

"If that kid Qian Yu can't do it, then no one in this world can."

"A fourth Soul Ring that's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring is certainly absurd, but he's already created so many miracles. What's one more?"

Hu Liena gazed at Qian Yu with shining eyes.

If Qian Yu couldn't succeed, she would be absolutely furious.

She'd pulverize his bones and scatter his ashes right there.

After all, Qian Renxue had sacrificed everything to make this possible.

How could he fail?

He had to succeed!

Nothing could go wrong!
