Sky Azure Bull Python

"I never expected the Soul Power within the Young Mistress to be so vast. After absorbing her third soul ring, she actually broke through directly to level fifty. Looking across the entire continent, she is the only one capable of such an achievement."

Pufferfish Douluo couldn't help but exclaim from the side.

A ten-thousand-year soul ring evolving directly into a hundred-thousand-year one was already shocking enough, but for her to leap ten levels at once and still be able to absorb the next ring—this cultivation speed was simply not something a human should possess!

Even the well-traveled Chen Xin was hearing for the first time that someone could break through ten levels consecutively after absorbing a soul ring.

This was nothing short of a miracle!

Qian Renxue noticed everyone staring at her as if she were a monster, and she suddenly felt a chill down her spine, as if she were about to be eaten at any moment.

Feeling uneasy, her small face flushed slightly.

"Um... could you all please stop looking at me like that? It's quite terrifying."

The group realized they had lost their composure and hurriedly turned their heads away in embarrassment, pretending that nothing had happened.

Crack!

A crisp sound of something breaking came from behind Qian Renxue.

A pair of wings, radiating a faint golden halo, slowly unfolded from her back, shimmering with a dreamlike glow amidst the sparse light of the forest.

Chen Qi recognized it at a glance; it was the same type of External Soul Bone as Tang San's, but the quality was clearly far superior, having already reached the hundred-thousand-year level.

Seeing this, the other four opened their mouths wide, their faces filled with shock. No one had expected that while Qian Renxue was absorbing her soul ring, she would also manifest a legendary External Soul Bone!

"What is this?"

Qian Renxue turned her head in confusion to look behind her, trying to gently flap the newly emerged wings.

Chen Xin suppressed the shock in his heart and explained in a deep voice.

"This is the seventh soul bone, beyond the six standard ones—the legendary External Soul Bone. It can evolve gradually along with the user's strength, and its potential is immense."

Qian Renxue nodded upon hearing this, a flash of joy in her eyes; it certainly sounded impressive.

"Young Mistress, shall we continue to hunt for the next soul ring?"

Snake Lance Douluo adjusted his composure and asked.

Qian Renxue thought for a moment. She needed to become a god as quickly as possible; rather than suppressing her level, it was better to raise it rapidly.

"Let's take a look around."

In the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life.

The lake water was as clear as a mirror, surrounded by ancient trees and swirling mist.

A massive soul beast with the head of a bull and the body of a snake was resting quietly here, and lying beside it was a giant black-furred gorilla.

These two were none other than the early overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest: the Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming, and the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming.

The Titan Giant Ape suddenly sensed something and lifted its head, only to see a giant Soft Bone Rabbit hopping over from not far away.

Seeing that the Titan Giant Ape had spotted her, she pushed off the ground with a sudden burst of strength from her legs and shot toward him with a whoosh.

"Ouch! Xiao Wu, what are you doing?"

The Titan Giant Ape was sent flying backward by the impact, landing on the ground and scratching his head in confusion.

Xiao Wu stood on the ground, hands on her hips, and let out a cold snort, glaring at him indignantly.

"Hmph! Who told you to play hide-and-seek with me and then run off to the Lake of Life to sunbathe with Da Ming?"

Er Ming gave an awkward laugh and scratched his head.

"Isn't it just that you're too good at hiding, Xiao Wu? I couldn't find you."

"Bullshit! It was clearly my turn to seek and yours to hide!"

Er Ming was left speechless. They had originally agreed to play in a forest outside the core area, but after Xiao Wu searched for half the day without finding him, she finally came to the Lake of Life only to see Er Ming lounging in the sun—it was infuriating!

"Alright, alright, calm down, Xiao Wu. My little brother is a bit slow-witted and forgets things easily."

Da Ming finally stepped in to smooth things over.

Only then did Xiao Wu huff, albeit reluctantly, and let the matter drop.

The leaves rustled as the wind blew through them.

Da Ming's eyelid suddenly twitched, and a sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

"Xiao Wu, please excuse me. I have a feeling that my friend, the Light Wing Dragon, has run into trouble."

With that, Da Ming slithered his massive body and vanished instantly from the side of the Lake of Life.

Seeing Da Ming leave in such a hurry, Xiao Wu immediately grabbed the innocent-looking Er Ming.

"We're going to sneak after Da Ming and see what's going on."

On the other side, Chen Xin had finished dealing with the carcass of the Light Wing Dragon and was preparing to continue forward with Qian Renxue.

Suddenly, his expression shifted as he sensed an extremely powerful aura in the air—it was the terrifying pressure belonging to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!

Rumble!

A violent tremor erupted from the distance. Before Chen Xin could add another layer of shielding for Qian Renxue, a colossal Sky Azure Bull Python, its form blotting out the sky, suddenly appeared.

Its massive bull head was even larger than the Light Wing Dragon from before. If an ordinary person were to witness this scene, their legs would likely turn to jelly, and they would be unable to stand, let alone control their bladders.

Upon seeing it, Chen Qi immediately recognized this as the future God King Tang San's ninth soul ring and right arm bone: the legendary Sky Azure Bull Python, Da Ming!

The simultaneous appearance of four Title Douluo left the Sky Azure Bull Python slightly stunned.

A single Title Douluo was rarely seen, yet here there were four at once. Were they trying to clear out the Star Dou Great Forest?

Its gaze fell upon the golden-haired girl in the center of the group. She bore a resemblance to Qian Daoliu of Martial Soul Hall, and the scent of its friend, the Light Wing Dragon, still lingered within her.

Combined with the premonition that had made its eyelids twitch wildly just moments ago, it instantly guessed what had transpired.

"Humans! You killed the Light Wing Dragon, didn't you?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python suppressed its fury, its voice demanding like rolling thunder.

Qian Renxue looked up at the massive soul beast before her and nodded, her tone calm.

"We killed it, so what? Are you looking to eat its flesh?"

Between soul beasts, the law of the jungle prevailed. Qian Renxue had every reason to believe the creature wanted to devour the Light Wing Dragon to increase its own cultivation.

Hearing this, the Sky Azure Bull Python could no longer contain itself and roared in rage.

"Damned humans! Pay for the Light Wing Dragon's life!"

Its massive snake tail whipped through the air, carrying a terrifying gale.

Pufferfish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo reacted with lightning speed, grabbing Qian Renxue and whisking her to a safe position.

Seeing Qian Renxue was safe, Chen Xin breathed a sigh of relief, though his eyes ignited with intense battle intent. This was a rare, formidable opponent; such an opportunity would be hard to come by again.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

The seventh soul ring beneath Chen Xin shone brightly, and a massive phantom holding the Seven Kill Sword slowly coalesced behind him. He closed his eyes, pouring a century's worth of sword insights into this single strike.

"Ninth Soul Skill, God Demon Two Slashes!"

BOOM!!!

A terrifying, massive Seven Kill Sword, several miles long, suddenly appeared in the sky. The aura radiating from the blade was incomparably horrific, as if it could sever everything in the world.

Chen Xin's expression remained as calm as water as he lightly pressed his finger downward.

The giant sword descended with the force of world-ending destruction.

The Sky Azure Bull Python was left bewildered by the sight.

Wait, I haven't even made a move yet, and you're already unleashing your ultimate? Who fights with such a lack of martial virtue!

With no other choice, it had to brace itself to meet this terrifying blow.

It could clearly sense that this power threatened its very life.

"Seven Kill Sword Art, Kill Character Technique!"

Fearing the attack might not be strong enough, Chen Xin drew a massive "Kill" character in the air with Seven Kill Sword Qi the moment his ninth soul skill descended.

The ancestral Seven Kill Sword Art's Kill Character Technique merged into the God Demon Two Slashes, instantly elevating the attack's power to a new level.

If the Sky Azure Bull Python could have barely resisted the initial strike, now it had only one thought: to flee.

BOOM!!!

The attack landed completely. The earth shook violently, torn apart by the powerful sword qi into a bottomless, massive fissure.

A small hill was cleaved directly in two by the blow.

The Sky Azure Bull Python collapsed in a pool of blood, its two massive bull horns shattered across the ground, looking utterly miserable.

It felt incredibly aggrieved. It had come for revenge, yet before it could even strike, the opponent had unleashed an ultimate—one that even seemed to have a time-stopping effect, leaving no room to react. They were simply bullying an old, hundred-thousand-year-old beast!

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Wu and Er Ming watched, dumbstruck. They never imagined that Da Ming would be defeated in an instant; that sword-wielding human was simply too strong!

"Sword Grandpa, leave the rest to me."
