Three Sibling Beasts, Neatly Lined Up

The sun rose, the red sun ascending in the east.

Heaven and earth alternated between light and darkness.

A golden streak of light arrived from the ocean, tearing through the horizon and flying toward the east at a speed exceeding that of sound.

Douluo Continent.

After hunting and harvesting the Evil Demon Orca King, Qian Xunji did not rest for a single moment, flying straight back to the Douluo Continent.

My luck is quite good; to encounter the Evil Demon Orca King, a hundred-thousand-year sea soul beast, on the way back to the Douluo Continent, he thought with delight.

He had now completed two of his goals: slaying the Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai and the Evil Demon Orca King, both hundred-thousand-year sea soul beasts.

He had set a target of slaying nine hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, and he had now achieved two.

Yet, even with such rapid progress on his mission, Qian Xunji dared not lower his guard.

Naturally, the sooner he completed the God Trials, the better.

As for taking a proper rest, that would have to wait until he had finished all the God Trials, inherited the Asura God Position, and was no longer in danger of losing his life.

Otherwise, living in constant fear would make it impossible to sleep soundly, always terrified of being killed by some ungrateful wretch, with even his soul being devoured.

During his flight, he passed by Spirit City.

Qian Xunji merely glanced at it sideways, having no intention of returning whatsoever.

I only want to become a god now; I have no time to deal with those foolish people and their foolish affairs.

Bypassing Spirit City, he dove straight into the dense vegetation of the Star Dou Forest.

Deep within the Star Dou Forest, the Lake of Life lay quietly nestled among the mountains.

The lake water was as clear as a solid piece of emerald, transparent and bright, with a hazy, pale golden mist floating on the surface—the manifestation of pure life energy slowly circulating.

The lakeside was surrounded by exotic flowers and rare herbs, vibrant with life, while the Ancient Tree of Life at the center of the lake draped its glowing branches and leaves, casting a soft light upon the water.

The entire secret realm was tranquil and remote, permeated everywhere with a rich, gentle aura of life, as if it were a fairyland beyond the world.

This place was originally inhabited by Xiao Wu's family of four.

However, because Xiao Wu's mother was nearing her tribulation, she had transformed into a human and left the Star Dou Forest, heading for the human world.

The only hundred-thousand-year soul beasts living here now were Xiao Wu and her two younger siblings.

At this moment, it was time to feed.

The hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit, Xiao Wu, was as sturdy as a yak.

Leading her rabbit descendants, she opened her large mouth, revealing her buckteeth, and grazed incessantly on the Blue Silver Grass.

The Soft Bone Rabbit did not just like eating the leaves of the Blue Silver Grass; it preferred to dig into the soil to gnaw on the roots.

The roots of the Blue Silver Grass were crunchy, delicious, and perfect for grinding teeth, making them the favorite of the Soft Bone Rabbits.

Consequently, under Xiao Wu's leadership, wherever the army of Soft Bone Rabbits passed, the Blue Silver Grass would face total annihilation, meeting their end in the rabbits' mouths.

If not for the miraculous nature of the Star Dou Forest and its abundant life force, which allowed plants to grow at a rate far exceeding the norm, the Blue Silver Grass growing here would never have been enough for them to ravage.

The grassland would have turned into a wasteland.

The army of Soft Bone Rabbits led by Xiao Wu could feed happily without outside interference all because Er Ming, the hundred-thousand-year Tai Tan Giant Ape, provided protection and deterred the carnivorous soul beasts that preyed on Soft Bone Rabbits.

For a "simp" beast like Er Ming, being able to stay by Xiao Wu's side and live together was enough.

He watched Xiao Wu eat, excrete, sleep, and beat up other soul beasts to her heart's content.

Er Ming: This is a happy and fulfilling life.

It was a pity that cross-species reproduction was impossible; otherwise, he truly wished to have a crystallization of love with Xiao Wu.

Er Ming fantasized in his mind.

Perhaps in the future, if he transformed into a human alongside Xiao Wu, they could unite in human form and give birth to the crystallization of their love.

Er Ming stuck his index finger into his mouth, and as he thought, a large amount of saliva began to flow out.

Just as Er Ming was lost in his fantasies, Qian Xunji arrived.

At this moment, his flight altitude was about three hundred meters above the ground.

Ninth Soul Skill: Spiritual Detection, unfold.

"Why are there only three?" he whispered, feeling puzzled.

Xiao Wu's parents were not there; there were only the three siblings.

For Qian Xunji, this was not good news.

As a Limit Douluo, even if it were one against five, he could quickly resolve the battle and slay five hundred-thousand-year soul beasts working in tandem against him.

But the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts gathered here now numbered only three.

The actual count was not even the four he had initially predicted.

Even if he killed the three siblings, that would only bring his total to five hundred-thousand-year soul beasts slain.

Even if he went to the Blue Silver Forest to kill Blue Silver Empress A Yin, that would only account for five.

What was he supposed to do about the remaining four 100,000-year soul beasts?

The whereabouts of the Death Spider Emperor were unknown.

A Rou had transformed and run off somewhere, and he had no idea where.

Qian Xunji's eyes darted around, sweeping a glance over the Lake of Life before he retracted his gaze.

The depths of the Lake of Life held a world of their own, inhabited by several fierce beasts with cultivation ages exceeding 200,000 years.

Killing them would certainly be enough to complete the second trial of the Asura God Trial, which required him to kill nine 100,000-year soul beasts within a month.

Not to mention the Silver Dragon King, there was Di Tian, who possessed the Dragon God Claw and Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores.

Qian Xunji rubbed his chin, feeling that he might not be able to defeat this foreign dragon in his current state.

Furthermore, there were Lord Bear and Ten Thousand Demon King, two fierce beasts whose combat power reached the level of a Limit Douluo.

There was also the continent's number one healer, Bi Ji.

Not to mention Red King, Zi Ji, Yao Ling, and the other fierce beasts.

This combat power was even more ferocious than Spirit Hall and the three sects combined.

Before inheriting the Asura God Position, he decided it was best not to look for trouble by provoking the fierce beasts in the Great Fierce Land of the Star Dou Forest.

Preferring to kill enemies without taking damage, Qian Xunji still used his fourth soul skill, "Angel Light Blade," to condense dozens of golden short swords and control them to slay his foes.

Against thick-skinned 100,000-year soul beasts, relying solely on this thousand-year soul skill was not enough.

He activated his sixth soul skill, "Angel Holy Sword." A golden vortex appeared in front of his palm, and a golden sword of light gradually emerged from its center.

The Angel Holy Sword was a long-range, single-target attack skill.

Once released, this sword of light could persist for a long time until the soul power within it dissipated.

Qian Xunji could remotely control this sword of light to attack his opponents.

As a soul skill nearing 30,000 years, its power was sufficient to pierce the defenses of a 100,000-year soul beast and inflict effective damage.

By attacking areas with weak physical defenses, he could even kill a 100,000-year soul beast.

Qian Xunji had relied on remotely controlling the Angel Holy Sword to force the Evil Demon Orca King to "swallow the sword," destroying its internal organs from within and successfully killing it.

Of course, he often used this method of controlling swords to kill enemies primarily because it was cool and effortless.

The dozens of golden short swords in front drew all of Xiao Wu's attention.

The golden sword of light circled behind her, rotating at high speed to launch a sneak attack, piercing into her rear like a thousand-year strike.

"Ah!" Xiao Wu cried out in pain, spitting out the spinning golden sword.

With her internal organs destroyed and heavy bleeding from both ends, Xiao Wu died, and a bright red soul ring floated into the air.

"Sister Xiao Wu!"

Seeing Xiao Wu fall to the ground dead, Er Ming's eyes turned blood-red, and he breathed as heavily as an ox.

She was dead—his beloved Sister Xiao Wu was dead.

Er Ming pounded his chest and tilted his head back, letting out a roar.

His wide-open ape mouth exposed his weakness; Qian Xunji seized the opportunity, drove the sword into his throat, shredded his internal organs, and caused blood to bloom from his rear.

At this moment, Da Ming, the Azure Bull Python in the Lake of Life, heard the screams of the siblings and poked his bull head out.

As soon as his head emerged from the water, before he could even assess the situation, he was struck by a 990,000-year soul bone skill from the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm: Soul Shock.

"Ah!" Da Ming had just opened his mouth to scream when the golden sword of light entered his throat, violently attacking his internal organs.

After killing the three beasts, Qian Xunji swiftly retrieved their bodies, soul rings, and soul bones, then departed from the Lake of Life.

He had sensed a dragon's might emanating from the Lake of Life.

This vague, indescribable dragon's might gave him a very dangerous feeling.

It made him vigilant, and he decisively followed the example of Senior Han by joining the "Runners' Club."

He sped away from this dangerous place.

The world was vast, but his own life was the most important thing.
