Holy Light Pegasus

Star Dou Forest, core zone.

Di Lintian led Qian Renxue straight toward the territory of the Holy Light Pegasus.

"You seem very familiar with this place?" Qian Renxue followed closely behind Di Lintian, speaking with hesitation.

"No, I just happened to encounter a Holy Light Pegasus in this vicinity before, and it would be very suitable as your soul ring." Di Lintian casually made up an excuse.

"We've arrived."

Before Qian Renxue could speak, Di Lintian stopped in his tracks.

Qian Renxue followed Di Lintian's gaze and saw a tall, pure white horse standing elegantly, a pair of magnificent wings upon its back.

Its spiral horn radiated a golden glow, and white-gold particles constantly flickered within its mane and tail.

On its smooth, pure white back was a claw mark exuding a dark aura—a wound left behind by a Dark Demon Dragon.

The dark aura radiating from the wound made the Holy Light Pegasus incredibly uncomfortable.

Even so, it remained holy, noble, and elegant.

"How many years of cultivation is it?" This was the first time Qian Renxue had heard of a Holy Light Pegasus; there were no records of it within Spirit Hall, and she did not know how to judge its age.

"Eighty thousand years."

In truth, Di Lintian did not know how to determine the age of a Holy Light Pegasus either.

This Holy Light Pegasus had been an eighty-thousand-year Soul Beast for a long time, but the injuries inflicted by the Dark Demon Dragon Lion had prevented it from cultivating further on its own.

In its current state, once it reached one hundred thousand years, it would certainly be unable to survive the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Eighty thousand years!" Qian Renxue covered her mouth. "That exceeds the tolerance limit for a seventh soul ring, doesn't it?"

"Your martial soul is the Six-Winged Angel; what's wrong with absorbing a soul ring beyond your rank?" Di Lintian said nonchalantly. "Besides, you've already absorbed a celestial herb."

"That's true." Qian Renxue nodded. Moreover, she had absorbed three 99,999-year soul bones, which had strengthened her physique; it seemed she could indeed give it a try.

"Snake Spear... ngh."

Just as Qian Renxue was about to call for the two Titled Douluo to assist, Di Lintian covered her mouth.

"Last time, when facing Dugu Bo, we used the Six-Winged Fallen Angel. This time, don't you want to test the power of the Radiant Divine Dragon you lead?"

Qian Renxue pulled Di Lintian's hand away and nodded.

"It seems to be injured; our martial soul fusion skill should be able to defeat it," Qian Renxue whispered.

"I'm pondering a question," Di Lintian whispered back. "Whose soul ring does a soul beast killed by a martial soul fusion skill count as?"

"It counts as..." Qian Renxue thought about the knowledge regarding martial soul fusion skills and ultimately shook her head. "I don't know. Spirit Hall has no information on this, but I infer it should count for the leader. It's not like both people can absorb it."

Di Lintian said, "To ensure this soul ring is definitely yours, I suggest we beat it until it's crippled first, and then you deliver the killing blow."

Holy Light Pegasus: Why do I suddenly feel a chill on my back?

"That is indeed the safer approach." Qian Renxue nodded.

Little horse, I guarantee you as the future master of all Soul Beasts: once Qian Renxue becomes a god, she will surely resurrect you and allow you to ascend to the God Realm as a Divine Beast.

Di Lintian promised the Holy Light Pegasus in his heart.

"Let's go." Qian Renxue took the initiative to hold Di Lintian's hand.

Di Lintian nodded, allowing Qian Renxue's soul power to enter his body, and a dazzling golden halo enveloped them both.

"Martial soul fusion skill, Radiant Divine Dragon."

A vast voice carrying endless majesty emanated from the holy halo.

Following this, the sound of a dragon's roar resonated through heaven and earth, and the Radiant Divine Dragon flew out from within.

Such a massive disturbance could naturally not be hidden from the Holy Light Pegasus.

The Holy Light Pegasus had discovered them the moment they began merging their soul power.

At this moment, it trotted through the void, its wings tucked against its back, watching the Radiant Divine Dragon with vigilance.

"ROAR--!"

The Radiant Divine Dragon let out another thunderous roar. This time, it was no longer a simple show of force, but the first soul skill it released—Holy Judgment Dragon Roar!

It increased its own light attribute by 50%, and any dark-attribute soul master (or Soul Beast) that heard this roar would have a 50% chance of failure when releasing their own soul skills.

However, this was of no use against the Holy Light Pegasus; it only served to increase the Radiant Divine Dragon's own light attribute by 50%.

"Hiss--"

A low, warning sound emanated from the Holy Light Pegasus's mouth.

The Radiant Divine Dragon's slit pupils stared directly at the Holy Light Pegasus, its massive dragon body erupting with unparalleled speed as its dragon claws prepared to strike.

Seeing that the giant dragon ignored its warning entirely, the Holy Light Pegasus instantly imbued its front hooves with holy light and stomped fiercely against the void.

A circular holy light shockwave expanded outward, closing in on the Radiant Divine Dragon.

Facing the encroaching light, the dragon let out a disdainful roar, and the circular holy light instantly dissipated rapidly, as if a subject had encountered its monarch.

No human or Soul Beast possessed a light attribute that surpassed the Six-Winged Angel, let alone in a form fused with another martial soul of the same level.

An 80,000-year Holy Light Pegasus in its prime possessed strength equivalent to a Titled Douluo.

Though currently suffering from lingering, severe injuries inflicted by the Dark Demon Dragon Lion, it still held the power of a top-tier Soul Douluo; even a Titled Douluo would find it impossible to hunt it down.

Yet, facing the Radiant Divine Dragon—a creature possessing ultimate light and strength equal to its own—it stood no chance of victory.

"Hiss—"

The Holy Light Pegasus folded its wings behind its back, concentrating holy light intensely upon its horn. Lowering its head slightly, it scraped its front hooves against the void.

The next moment, it surged forward, the Holy Light Pegasus launching itself like a golden cannonball toward the dragon claw swinging toward it.

The horn of the Holy Light Pegasus was the hardest part of its entire body. When facing ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts, it only needed to condense holy light onto its horn and charge at will to enjoy a hearty meal.

"Clang—"

The dragon claw collided with the horn, and a blinding white light erupted from the point of impact.

The dragon claw seized the opportunity to grip the spiraling horn, channeling soul power into the claw in an attempt to snap it off.

However, it had underestimated the hardness of the horn; the appendage remained as immovable as a steel pillar driven ten thousand meters into the earth.

"The horn is the hardest part of its body, but its wings are its most powerful means of attack."

Di Lintian's voice resonated within the Radiant Divine Dragon, reaching the ears of Qian Renxue, who was in control.

Although Di Lintian could not manipulate the Radiant Divine Dragon, he could observe the scene outside through its slit pupils.

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue controlled the Radiant Divine Dragon to release the Holy Light Pegasus's horn and retreat.

"Eternal Day Kingdom."

As the words fell, the surrounding environment instantly stagnated, as if only it and the Holy Light Pegasus across from it existed in this world.

Trees that had been snapped by the shockwaves moments ago hung suspended in mid-air, unable to fall to the ground.

Eternal Day Kingdom—time within the vicinity ground to a halt. Within this domain, only the attributes of light and fire were permitted to exist.

A sea of fire composed of golden flames began to burn in the void, yet it did not harm any of the flora frozen in time.

A single spark landed on the Holy Light Pegasus, and the golden flames instantly engulfed it, burning fiercely.

The Holy Light Pegasus looked at the flames swirling around its body in terror.

But the next moment, Its terror transformed into enjoyment.
