Soul Ring Shattered, Blood and Qi Flow; Zhu Zhuqing's Bath Makes Bibi Dong Envious

The old nurse turned and led Zhu Zhuqing out of the Spirit Beast Garden.

The scenery along the way further opened the eyes of Zhu Zhuqing and the bumpkins from the Douluo World watching on the Sky Screen.

After passing through the Spirit Beast Garden, they entered a long white jade corridor.

The corridor was suspended in mid-air, with clouds and mist swirling on both sides.

Walking on the corridor, Zhu Zhuqing looked down and saw that the abyss thousands of feet below was not dark, but a brilliant river of stars!

Countless tiny stars floated and sank in the abyss, emitting a hazy glow.

"Are those stars?" Seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yes, those are discarded stars that the Immortal Lord captured from outside the domain to serve as the eyes of the mountain protection formation," Nurse Wang said casually, as if she were talking about stones by the roadside.

Moving forward, floating immortal islands came into view.

Immortal cranes soared through the clouds. The cranes spread their wings, which were actually a thousand meters wide. Each feather was as if cast from white jade, emitting a sacred aura.

"That is Cloud Crane, possessing True Immortal blood. A casual cry from it can shatter a part of the lower realm."

Nurse Wang pointed to the immortal crane and introduced it.

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing quickly looked up, but after just one glance, her eyes felt a sharp pain, as if pricked by needles. Frightened, she quickly lowered her head.

Besides that, along the way, Zhu Zhuqing also saw spiritual energy waterfalls flowing with golden liquid, and lingzhi growing on cliffs that shone like small suns, as well as giant palaces faintly visible in the clouds...

Every scene exuded an aura of vastness, antiquity, and even extreme nobility.

The plants, trees, bricks, and tiles here were all demonstrating their difference from the Douluo World; it was a truly high-dimensional world!

Compared to this, let alone Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire, even the God Realm was trash in comparison.

Finally, after passing through layers of fairyland, the nurse finally led Zhu Zhuqing into a secluded mountain valley.

In the center of the valley was a small pool.

The pool water was a strange chaotic color, with no steam rising from it, but it exuded a heart-palpitating chill.

But upon closer inspection, it seemed as if countless tiny runes were swimming in the pool water, and each ripple appeared to be evolving some profound meaning of life.

"This is the Spirit Cleansing Pool."

Nurse Wang pointed to the pool and then said solemnly:

"Go in."

"Remember, the process will be very painful, like having all your bones shattered and reassembled, and your meridians pulled out one by one and washed."

"Moreover, after the transformation, your original realm may disappear completely, and you will have to start all over again."

"Do you... dare?"

Hearing the nurse's words, Zhu Zhuqing, standing by the pool, clenched her fists. She looked at the chaotic colored pool water, then took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

In a daze, she thought of her fiancé who only knew how to evade.

She thought of the strict, suffocating Star Luo Imperial Family.

And the peerless scenery she had seen along the way.

"I... am willing!"

Suddenly, with her mind made up, Zhu Zhuqing opened her eyes and, without hesitation, leaped directly into the Spirit Cleansing Pool.

"Ah!"

As soon as she entered the water, Zhu Zhuqing's piercing scream echoed throughout the entire valley.

At the same time, on the Sky Screen, the people in the Douluo World watched this scene in horror.

They saw that in the hazy Spirit Cleansing Pool, Zhu Zhuqing's spirit rings automatically opened and were shattering one by one!

Yellow, yellow, purple, purple!

In an instant, the four spirit rings shattered like glass, exploding into nothingness.

As Zhu Zhuqing's spirit rings broke one by one, her hard-earned soul power level also rapidly declined.

"Gone, all gone..."

Douluo Continent, Shrek Academy.

Evil-Eyed White Tiger Dai Mubai slumped in the mud pit, staring blankly at the scene, his lips trembling: "She's really finished, she really turned herself into a cripple for that so-called cultivation..."

"Why, is that power really that important in her eyes, worth destroying our shared strength?"

"Hmph, it's simply utter foolishness!"

Beside him, Yu Xiaogang, with his hands behind his back, pointed directly at the Sky Screen and turned to Tang San to begin a live lesson.

"See, Little San, this is the consequence of abandoning your spirit!"

"Soul Power is the foundation of a soul master. Without spirit rings and soul power, she, Zhu Zhuqing, is now worse than a peasant woman who can't even lift a chicken!"

"I've said it long ago, regardless of whether what one cultivates can truly be started from scratch, that old woman is harming her, but Zhu Zhuqing ultimately doesn't have my discerning eye and has been completely ruined."

However, just as Yu Xiaogang was shaking his head and sighing, using Zhu Zhuqing as a negative example, the Sky Screen, which had been silent for a moment, unexpectedly changed again.

Yu Xiaogang and the others saw this, and the smiles on their faces vanished instantly, leaving them speechless for a long time.

Meanwhile, in the Perfect World.

Inside the Spirit Cleansing Pool of the Primordial Immortal Court.

"Boom!"

The specks of Soul Power within the Spirit Cleansing Pool, which had been dissipating, did not vanish completely. Instead, guided by a mysterious force, they began to converge frantically toward Zhu Zhuqing's spine!

At the same time, Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul, which had manifested uncontrollably, did not shatter along with the spirit rings.

On the contrary, under the scouring of the chaotic liquid, the phantom of the Spirit Cat, which had nearly materialized, let out a shrill cry toward the heavens. It then shrank rapidly, finally transforming into a streak of ink-black, purple-gold light.

"Swoosh!"

The streak of light descended, branding itself directly onto Zhu Zhuqing's smooth, fair back!

It transformed into a lifelike, wild-looking black cat totem!

The next instant, a terrifying aura of blood, as if originating from the primordial era, erupted violently from Zhu Zhuqing's seemingly delicate body!

Although there was not a trace of Soul Power fluctuation, that pure physical blood energy actually formed a pillar of crimson smoke several feet high above the Spirit Cleansing Pool!

It soared straight into the heavens!

"What... what is this?!"

Inside the Pope Palace, Bibi Dong stood up abruptly upon seeing this scene. Her scepter slipped from her grasp, clattering onto the floor.

She stared fixedly at that crimson pillar of smoke. As a peerless Douluo, she could feel a sense of suppression originating from the very level of life itself emanating from that pure blood energy.

"No Soul Power, yet she can trigger a celestial phenomenon through physical blood energy alone?"

"This... how is this possible!"

However, the true shock was yet to come.

As the baptism concluded, the chaotic liquid in the Spirit Cleansing Pool gradually calmed down.

Zhu Zhuqing's figure slowly floated up from the pool water.

By now, the clothing on her body had long since turned to ash in the previous energy storm.

Her flawless, delicate body hung suspended in mid-air, exposed without reservation.
