Fourth Soul Skill: Immortal Mountains and Rivers: Edict Golden Body

Qian Daoliu, Qingluan, and the others all showed shocked expressions when they saw Xiao Yao, their hearts secretly thumping as well.

No way, after being strengthened by the Golden Lion Mastiff, wouldn't Invincible Golden Body become even more absurd?

Seeing the curious and puzzled expressions on Qian Daoliu and Qingluan's faces, Xiao Yao did not keep them in suspense.

He directly revealed his fourth soul skill. "The fourth soul skill the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor gave me is—"

"Immortal Mountains and Rivers: Edict Golden Body. Soul skill effect: a 300% increase to all attributes, four minutes of absolute defense, and a one-hour cooldown! Once the soul skill is activated, the cooldown begins counting down! Every soul ring obtained increases the duration of absolute defense by one minute!"

"Furthermore, the information conveyed by the soul ring says that absolute defense is truly absolute defense. It seems capable of blocking even attacks above the god level!"

"However, it hasn't been tested against attacks above the god level yet, so I don't know whether it can truly negate them!"

Qian Jun Douluo was dumbfounded as he listened to this soul skill. The initial 300% increase to all attributes was already utterly explosive.

However, because he knew that Xiao Yao's first three soul rings all possessed this all-attribute increase,

he was still able to remain somewhat calm.

But then he heard that Invincible Golden Body could last four minutes, and that every additional soul ring would extend it by another minute.

That meant that once Xiao Yao reached nine rings, he could be invincible for nine whole minutes!

And after activating Invincible Golden Body, the soul skill would automatically enter its cooldown.

That meant that at nine rings, after activating invincibility, he could activate Invincible Golden Body again just fifty-one minutes later!

When fighting an enemy, he would not need to defend at all.

He could attack with everything he had for nine minutes—nine minutes of Xiao Yao attacking at full power.

He simply could not imagine the expressions on Xiao Yao's enemies' faces when they faced all of Xiao Yao's monstrous abilities!

Qingluan Douluo finally understood why Yao'er had worn that expression just now.

Several minutes of invincibility was simply too unsolvable!

The Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor had already gained an enormous advantage in battle with merely around ten seconds of invincibility.

Enemies had to constantly guard against having their all-out strike directly nullified by the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor's Invincible Golden Body, followed by a counterattack.

Around ten seconds of Invincible Golden Body could already be called a divine skill.

Yet Yao'er, at just four rings, could maintain an Invincible Golden Body state for four minutes.

Who could still fight him?

With several enhancement soul skills fully activated, attacking without defending, and Yao'er's absurd stats, Qingluan Douluo could only keep shaking his head.

He could only say that if he had encountered Yao'er while he himself was at four rings,

he would have been nothing more than a roadside corpse!

In fact, he felt that after Yao'er absorbed the two-hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor,

he seemed to have become completely incapable of defeating Yao'er.

And it would not be the kind of situation where they could exchange a few moves before he was defeated.

Rather, Yao'er would send a single move his way, and he would fall into a deep sleep!

This was a bit too absurd. Yao'er had only just entered the four-ring stage!

If he already had this kind of combat power at four rings, wouldn't he be able to contend against gods at five rings?

At six rings, would he be slaying gods?

What did he plan to do once he reached nine rings?

This was too absurd!

Qingluan Douluo felt that Yao'er might be able to crush gods even before reaching nine rings and becoming one himself.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu noticed another key piece of information in what Yao'er had said.

That was that the absolute defense conveyed by the soul skill could negate damage of any level, including attacks above the god level.

This information greatly shocked him.

He had not actually thought much of the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor's Invincible Golden Body skill.

Because he knew that the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor's Invincible Golden Body had considerable limitations and was not truly invincible.

First of all, each activation of Invincible Golden Body could only last around ten seconds.

It could only be activated three times a day.

Furthermore, if an enemy's skill possessed a true-damage soul skill that ignored all defensive abilities,

then Invincible Golden Body would be directly broken.

There was also the fact that it could only negate attacks below the god level. Any attack containing divine power could not be negated.

For example, if Qian Daoliu went all out, used his Ninth Soul Skill, Angel Descent, and then wielded the divine artifact Angel Holy Sword.

He would possess demigod-level combat power, and due to Angel Descent, his attacks would contain divine power.

Therefore, the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor's Invincible Golden Body could only weaken his attack power and could not negate his damage.

Thus, for a demigod-level powerhouse like Qian Daoliu, the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor's Invincible Golden Body was highly limited.

But why had Qian Daoliu also strongly approved of Xiao Yao obtaining the Soft Bone Rabbit Emperor's Invincible Golden Body for his fourth soul ring?

Because Qian Daoliu knew that all of Xiao Yao's soul skills would be strengthened by his Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul.

After being strengthened, their values and mechanics would be greatly enhanced beyond their original foundation.

Mechanisms that were not particularly strong to begin with could be enhanced into something absurd.

Then Invincible Golden Body, which already stood at the pinnacle of mechanic-based soul skills, would certainly be strengthened into something even more outrageous by the Golden Lion Mastiff martial soul.

And sure enough, as expected, Xiao Yao's fourth soul skill, Immortal Mountains and Rivers: Edict Golden Body—namely, Invincible Golden Body—seemed truly capable of negating attacks above the god level.

Its duration had also been vastly increased. Four minutes of extraordinarily long invincibility, paired with the ability to negate attacks above the god level,

could only be described as unsolvable!

Even in the historical records spanning twenty thousand years, such an overpowered soul skill had never appeared.

Just as Qian Daoliu was silently thinking and reeling in shock,

Xiao Yao said to Qian Daoliu, "Grandpa Qian, can you enter your full state, use your Martial Soul Avatar and Ninth Soul Skill, Angel Descent, along with the divine artifact Angel Holy Sword, and test whether my Invincible Golden Body can truly negate attacks containing divine power?"

Without even thinking, Qian Daoliu replied to Yao'er's words, "No! That's too dangerous!"

Xiao Yao continued, "Grandpa Qian, it'll be fine. You can start with a weaker attack, then gradually increase the power afterward!"

"The main thing is to see whether my Immortal Mountains and Rivers: Edict Golden Body can negate attacks infused with divine power!"

"If it can negate damage infused with divine power, then that basically means it can negate attacks above the god level as well!"

"Then this discovery would be far too important!"

"If I truly encounter an enemy with divine power, I can better plan how to fight."

Listening to Yao'er's words, Qian Daoliu realized that Yao'er was indeed right.

If Yao'er truly encountered an enemy possessing divine power in the future,

and Yao'er's Invincible Golden Body could not negate attacks infused with divine power,

then if Yao'er fell into danger, Qian Daoliu would regret it to death.

So he looked at Yao'er and said, "Then prepare yourself. Activate all your enhancement skills, especially your second soul skill, Golden Verdict: Eternal Suppression of Mountains and Rivers, which combines offense and defense!"

"Once all your skills are activated, use your fourth soul skill, Invincible Golden Body. Then I will start with a weaker attack and gradually increase the damage!"

"Your Invincible Golden Body lasts a long time, so you don't need to worry about wasting the earlier duration!"

Xiao Yao nodded and activated his first three soul skills along with the Domination Domain, triggering a 1200% increase to all attributes!

Armor resembling Emperor Armor covered Xiao Yao's entire body. The instantly surging power made him nod at Qian Daoliu.

Then he activated his fourth soul skill, Immortal Mountains and Rivers: Edict Golden Body!
