Nirvana Black Tortoise

Madness!

Under the firmament, countless people gazed at this scene, feeling as if the world had gone insane.

Using a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul ring as a first soul ring, this... how could he be so completely different from the soul masters we know?

However, considering that this person was a soul master with Twin Martial Souls and had already reached the realm of a Titled Douluo, absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul ring as a Titled Douluo seemed... within the realm of reason.

Hiss, is this the power of a Twin Martial Souls soul master? It is truly terrifying!

In front of the Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong's breathing grew heavy.

Using a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul ring as a first soul ring was something she had considered when she first broke through to become a Titled Douluo, but she had failed. The reason was that the many soul masters she dispatched could never find a solitary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Of course, aside from the Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and those two Soft Bone Rabbit.

But at the time... due to various reasons, she was not confident in dealing with those soul beasts that always gathered together. Furthermore, needing to urgently increase her strength to secure her position as Pope, she had no choice but to select soul beasts over fifty thousand years old to provide the first few soul rings for her second martial soul.

It was not until seven years ago, after she had finally secured her position as Pope, that she took Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for souls. While other soul masters held off the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, they successfully killed one of the Soft Bone Rabbit and added a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul ring to her Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul.

And that was already the seventh soul ring for her Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor martial soul.

Yes, for her first martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor, the soul ring configuration was: Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red.

For her second martial soul, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, the configuration was: Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Black, Red.

There were still two soul rings she had yet to add, because in her heart, she wanted to add Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul rings to them!

Whether this idea could succeed, she did not yet know, but even if it did, her second martial soul would only possess three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast soul rings. Yet now, in the image in the sky, that Xue Hen had actually added a hundred-thousand-year soul ring as the very first ring for his second martial soul. This—this exceeded her by far.

And his first martial soul, that Royal Power Sword, had a soul ring configuration of two yellow, two purple, three black, and two red—still one more hundred-thousand-year soul ring than her own.

His data... it was simply suppressing her in every aspect!

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong gripped her scepter even tighter.

She did not want to see anyone stronger than herself, because to her, this was a variable.

She wanted to control everything; any factor beyond her control should not exist in this world!

I must, I must find a way to kill him, even if he is already a Titled Douluo! Bibi Dong's gaze turned cold, her heart resolute.

Immediately, she refocused her attention on the firmament.

["Hum~" The process of Xue Hen absorbing the Life Giant Whale soul ring was not difficult; it was even somewhat effortless, as natural as water flowing into a channel. Once the time arrived, the soul ring was fully absorbed.

He stood up from the corpse of the Life Giant Whale, slightly raised his chin to reveal his fair neck and prominent Adam's apple, and spread his arms. The Emerald Swan martial soul attached to his body raised its neck and spread its wings, letting out a clear cry as a blood-red soul ring emerged from beneath his feet.

Emerald Swan martial soul, first soul ring: Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast!]

Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.

Emperor Xue Ye was trembling with excitement.

A hundred-thousand-year first ring.

"A Qilin child, he truly is the Qilin child of my Xue family!" he said, his eyes brimming with tears.

He could not imagine, with Xue Hen around, what soul master in the future would dare to look down upon their Heaven Dou Imperial Family?

Look at this nephew of mine, bearing the Imperial Power Sword martial soul—a mutation of the Royal Power Sword—and the Emerald Swan martial soul possessed by the ancestors of the Xue family, with such a terrifying soul ring configuration. It would be no exaggeration to call him the strongest soul master in the world!

"Wait, the strongest? I wonder what his current Soul Power Level is?" Emperor Xue Ye suddenly thought of this question.

In terms of martial soul quality and soul ring configuration, Xue Hen was the absolute pinnacle, but he did not yet know the most important factor: the Soul Power Level.

Thinking this, Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath, gazing at the firmament above with even greater anticipation, hoping to see if it would reveal information regarding Xue Hen's Soul Power Level.

[On the corpse of the Life Giant Whale, Xue Hen raised his right hand, and a cluster of emerald light flickered in his palm.

He opened his mouth and said in a flat tone: "First Soul Skill: Emerald Recovery, a single-target rapid healing skill, with an additional effect of continuous health regeneration for five minutes, during which the target's maximum health limit is increased by 500%. The other skill is Life Diversion, a passive skill; when releasing a healing skill on others, I also gain a life shield equivalent to 30% of the healing amount. Not bad."

After speaking, Xue Hen lowered his arm, dissipated the light in his hand, and dismissed the Emerald Swan martial soul attached to his body. He gazed toward the distant sea, standing still in silence.

After a long while, he waved his hand, stored the corpse of the Life Giant Whale into the Soul Tool necklace hanging around his neck, and began to walk in a certain direction.

Yes, he was still walking on air, but unlike before, this time, with one step in the sky, he instantly shifted several hundred meters away. Another step, another instant shift. Repeating this, after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he arrived at another area of the sea.

"Come out, I've found you!" Xue Hen said to the ocean below.

"Roar!" As the words fell, a deafening roar erupted.

"Bang!" Following that, a pillar of water shot straight into the clouds, and a massive figure burst from the seabed.

It was actually a Nirvana Black Tortoise carrying a lava turtle shell!

The Nirvana Black Tortoise was a mutated descendant born after the ancestor of the Black Tortoise devoured a Fire Phoenix. Beyond the powerful defensive capabilities inherent to a Black Tortoise, they also possessed the ability to dive into undersea volcanoes when near death and be reborn through fire in the magma.

Moreover, judging by the size of this Nirvana Black Tortoise, its cultivation had definitely exceeded one hundred thousand years, estimated to be between one hundred thirty thousand and one hundred fifty thousand years.

Sure enough, the next second, the Nirvana Black Tortoise spoke.

"Human, I can sense your strength, but I have the ability to be reborn through fire; you cannot kill me."

Able to speak human language—this was indeed another soul beast over one hundred thousand years old!]

"Not bad. If we were on a volcano, I truly would be unable to do anything to you, but this is the ocean. I will not give you the chance to dive into an undersea volcano," Xue Hen said indifferently. Immediately, a flash of golden light flickered in his hand, and the Imperial Power Sword martial soul appeared once more.

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, red, red—nine soul rings flashed into existence beneath his feet.

The Nirvana Black Tortoise's pupils constricted, and it immediately dove toward the seabed.

"You are too slow."

"Whoosh!" Xue Hen hurled the Imperial Power Sword from his hand. The blade was covered in dazzling golden light, streaking through the sea like a meteor as it pursued the beast into the depths.

Sixth soul skill, Sword Settles Mountains and Rivers!

"Boom!" Before long, the Imperial Power Sword caught up to the Nirvana Black Tortoise. The moment it retracted its head and limbs into its shell, the sword erupted with a massive seaquake and sword qi, inflicting immense damage upon it in an instant.

High above the sea, watching the massive commotion erupting in the waters below, Xue Hen's expression remained unchanged. He clapped his hands together forcefully and declared, "Seventh soul skill, Human Emperor True Body!"

"Hum~" A golden pillar of light shot out from beneath the sea surface. Immediately following, a layer of golden battle armor manifested over Xue Hen's body, and a phantom of the Human Emperor, estimated to be over three hundred meters tall, rapidly emerged from within him. The phantom raised its hand to grasp the pillar of light, which transformed into a longsword in its grip.

"Judgment!" The Human Emperor phantom gripped the longsword, aiming toward a specific direction beneath the sea. Ye Zhou narrowed his eyes and said coldly.

"Boom!" As the words fell, the phantom swung the longsword, and an unrivaled golden sword qi was unleashed, slamming violently toward the depths of the sea.
