Resurrection Skill? Time for Revenge?

The corpse of the Nirvana Black Tortoise gradually floated up from beneath the sea surface.

"Swish!" A sound of air being torn apart rang out. Xue Hen raised his hand to catch the Imperial Power Sword as it flew back to him. The phantom of the Human Emperor that had shrouded him dissipated at this moment, and the world gradually returned to calm.

"Your defensive power is decent, requiring me to use my soul skill twice, but your speed is lacking." Looking down at the corpse of the Nirvana Black Tortoise below, Xue Hen remarked.

Immediately, just as he had done when absorbing the soul ring of the Life Giant Whale, he descended from the air onto the corpse of the Nirvana Black Tortoise. He deactivated his Imperial Power Sword martial soul, activated his Emerald Swan martial soul, sat cross-legged, and used his soul power to shroud the blood-red soul ring floating out from the tortoise's body.

The process of absorbing the soul ring remained incredibly smooth. About half an incense stick of time later, Xue Hen opened his eyes and stood up from the corpse of the Nirvana Black Tortoise.

"Hum~" A humming sound resonated, and another red soul ring appeared beneath his feet. Adding it to the previous one, he had now attached two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts' soul rings to his Emerald Swan martial soul.

"The second soul skill is 'Emerald Nirvana Curse' and 'Self-Immolation Nirvana'? Resurrection skills, not bad at all." The corners of Xue Hen's mouth lifted slightly as he spoke.

Reality.

In front of the Pope's Palace, Bibi Dong stepped forward, her tone filled with disbelief: "A resurrection skill?"

Behind her, Chrysanthemum Douluo also widened his eyes, exclaiming in terror: "The soul skill that Nirvana Black Tortoise gave him is a resurrection-type skill? How does it resurrect? Are there no restrictions? Can he resurrect whoever he wants? Why doesn't this brat explain all the effects like he did just now... uh."

Noticing Bibi Dong turning her head to glare at him with a terrifying expression that showed her disgust at his noise, Chrysanthemum Douluo panicked and hurriedly covered his mouth, though his face remained painted with deep terror.

This brat named Xue Hen... is too terrifying!

Shrek Academy.

On a large tree not far from Tang San, a burly man entirely shrouded in a black cloak saw his eyes light up and became agitated after hearing the voice from the Sky Screen.

"Resurrection, can it help me resurrect Ah Yin?" the man whispered, his voice trembling.

Also at Shrek Academy.

Xiao Wu, Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Dai Mubai were all standing at the entrance of the cafeteria, looking up at the scene on the firmament. Hearing Xue Hen's words from within, she also became immediately agitated.

Can his soul skill help me resurrect my mother? Xiao Wu thought to herself.

Beyond these two places, people all over the continent were discussing the second soul skill of Xue Hen's Emerald Swan martial soul. At the same time, countless people were hoping in their hearts that this soul skill of Xue Hen's could resurrect their important loved ones.

Although they knew that even if the other party's soul skill could do it, the other party might not necessarily agree to help them, having an extra glimmer of hope was always good. If the other party's soul skill couldn't resurrect their important person, even if they found a way to make him agree to help in the future, it would be useless.

After absorbing the soul ring of the Nirvana Black Tortoise, Xue Hen did not linger in place. He put away the corpse of the Nirvana Black Tortoise and continued to search the vast ocean for soul beasts with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Finally, a month later, relying on his astonishing perception and a bit of luck, he found another soul beast with over a hundred thousand years of cultivation, named: Galaxy Jellyfish!

This soul beast had another name: Galaxy Jellyfish Swarm!

The reason for the addition of the word "swarm" was that it was not a single entity, but a life cluster composed of hundreds of millions of transparent jellyfish; they split when injured and merged when healing.

After finding it, it took Xue Hen seven days and seven nights to successfully kill it.

Yes, this soul hunt was much more difficult than hunting the Life Giant Whale and the Nirvana Black Tortoise. This was not because the Galaxy Jellyfish was stronger; on the contrary, its combat power was very weak. Even though it was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it could not compare to the previous two.

The reason it was hard to kill was that it could continuously split and cluster to heal. To eliminate it, one had to kill every single small jellyfish capable of self-healing, which truly required a great deal of effort.

Fortunately, Xue Hen had his methods. The eighth soul skill of his Imperial Power Sword martial soul, "Light-Splitting Shadow-Forming," could conjure a sky full of sword rain, performing indiscriminate saturation strikes over a super-large area. Each sword carried an unhealable effect (except for healing skills from the Emerald Swan, Life Ancient Tree, and Nine-Heart Begonia martial souls), which effectively countered the self-healing ability of the small jellyfish.

Relying on this soul skill, along with various other means, Xue Hen spent seven days finally succeeding in killing this Galaxy Jellyfish and absorbing its soul ring.

After hunting the Galaxy Jellyfish, he continued to search the ocean, yet this time, he had no harvest for a long time.

Until one day, a white pigeon soul beast brought him a letter.

On the sea, Xue Hen removed the letter tied to the pigeon's leg. After opening and reading it, he frowned slightly and decided to temporarily stop his plan of hunting hundred-thousand-year soul beasts to fully equip his Emerald Swan martial soul with hundred-thousand-year soul rings, changing his course to return to the continent.

He gazed toward the direction of the continent and muttered: "Fifteen years, it is time for revenge!"

Two months from this moment.

The screen on the Sky Screen suddenly went black, leaving only this last line of white text.

Immediately after, the screen suddenly brightened again.

A majestic royal palace appeared on the Sky Screen; this palace was none other than the Balaque Royal Palace that had appeared before everyone's eyes when the Sky Screen first emerged.

In reality, inside the Balaque Royal Palace.

Balaque King Kundera and his favorite concubine Ning Pianpian, whom he held in his arms, saw this scene and instantly held their breath. Their bodies trembled uncontrollably, and an emotion called fear spread within their hearts.

Could it be...

Just as they feared.

The palace was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and every face wore an expression of joy.

The clan members and ministers of the Balaque Kingdom gathered together to witness the ceremony of the Sixth Prince, Xue Tian, being invested as the Crown Prince.

Under the guidance of a highly respected elder of the royal family, Xue Tian, dressed in fine robes, knelt before Kundera and Ning Pianpian, his expression respectful, with a hint of agitation faintly visible in his eyes.

He received the Crown Prince's seal and the royal edict of investiture handed to him by Kundera. After listening to his father's admonitions, he was about to respond.

However, a sudden change occurred at this moment.

"How lively. Does the exiled one mind an uninvited guest?" A cold voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"Bang!" Immediately, with a loud bang, dozens of figures clad in armor and wielding weapons flew backward into the hall.

They were the palace guards responsible for guarding the area.

Subsequently, a man wearing moon-white clothes, with a Soul Tool necklace around his neck, fair skin, and delicate features—looking to be only in his early twenties—walked into the hall step by step, holding a long sword in his hand.

As he advanced, soul rings emerged from beneath his feet.

Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red.
