Douluo: Shocked, the Most Beautiful Bride Qian Renxue!

"Happy, you can only act arrogant for now. In another three or four years, it's not certain who will be the one ground into dust!"

Li Jiutian thought to himself, then released his soul power to form a golden shield and walked slowly toward the exit of the medicinal garden.

The outskirts of the Sunset Forest, on the northeast side.

Li Jiutian hid behind a giant boulder, then took out a medicinal herb from his pouch and chewed it dry.

Before long, the burns and frostbite all over his body had recovered, and his soul power had reached its peak.

"This Good Fortune Pouch is truly a heaven-defying soul tool. It's a good thing I have it; it really helped me out a lot!"

"Now that I have countless top-tier immortal herbs in this pouch, they can truly save my life at a critical moment!"

Li Jiutian said joyfully, then took the Blazing Apricot Delicate Herb and the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass out of the pouch, swallowed them both at once, and began to meditate to absorb them!

Chapter 22: Fifth Soul Skill, Flame Aurora Sword!

Sunset Forest, late at night.

With the blessing of two super martial souls, Li Jiutian absorbed the medicinal effects of these two immortal herbs far faster than Tang San.

At this moment, he suddenly opened his eyes wide, spread his Angel Wings, and flew high into the sky!

"Refreshing, this is truly too refreshing!"

"After absorbing these two immortal herbs, my soul power rose by seven levels in a row, and my mental power increased by twofold!"

"My Shining Golden Eyes have also evolved to the second realm. As long as I focus my mental power, my visual range can reach a staggering 30 kilometers!"

"I also awakened a skill called Flash Gold Light. It is a linear single-target attack that can deal heavy damage to an enemy's mental power!"

"Most importantly, I can finally release my martial souls simultaneously!"

Li Jiutian laughed heartily, then gripped a three-meter-long God-Slaying Hammer in his left hand!

"This place is not suitable for a long stay. It would be disastrous if Old Poison discovered me!"

Li Jiutian restrained his aura and was just about to head home when he sensed a familiar presence.

He saw a giant jade deer over ten meters long about 20 kilometers away.

This jade deer had a pair of massive antlers, its entire body was covered in dense golden patterns, and it emitted a faint golden light overall.

"This is a Holy Light Jade Deer. Judging by its size, it should have sixty thousand years of cultivation!"

"The Holy Light Jade Deer is extremely rare and belongs to the light-attribute soul beasts. It is very rare for people to see them in daily life!"

"What a pity. Qian Daoliu isn't by my side; there's no way I can defeat it on my own!"

Li Jiutian shook his head and sighed. Just as he was about to give up, he noticed that the Holy Light Jade Deer's condition was a bit off.

First of all, its body was covered in faint, flickering wounds, and the golden light it emitted was not as intense as usual, making it look extremely weak.

"It must have been fighting for territory with another soul beast!"

"It's your bad luck to run into me. My fifth soul ring is as good as mine!"

Li Jiutian smiled slightly and dashed toward it!

Seeing the human hovering above its head, the Holy Light Jade Deer suddenly let out a fierce roar!

"Such a piercing cry, my head hurts!"

"This sound actually has a stunning effect!"

"Third Soul Skill, Air Cut!"

Li Jiutian's expression turned cold, and he instantly teleported in front of the Holy Light Jade Deer!

"Left Arm Soul Bone Skill, Holy Light Burst God Fist!"

"Die!"

His left fist was wrapped in golden light as he slammed it toward the Holy Light Jade Deer!

At this moment, a burst of ghostly blue light erupted from the Holy Light Jade Deer, looking just like will-o'-the-wisps!

"Boom!"

After a loud bang, Li Jiutian was sent flying 500 meters, while the Holy Light Jade Deer was sent flying a kilometer away!

"This... how is this possible? To think it has such a soul skill!"

"I could clearly feel just now that it was the power of the Holy Light Burst God Fist that sent me flying hundreds of meters away!"

"Yet the Holy Light Jade Deer was only sent a kilometer away. That light on its body can actually reflect forty percent of a soul skill's power back at the caster!"

"A sixty-thousand-year soul beast is indeed not easy to deal with. If it were in its prime, I would definitely be no match for it!"

Li Jiutian wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and charged at the Holy Light Jade Deer once more!

A pair of wings suddenly grew from the back of the Holy Light Jade Deer. These wings had no physical form and were in a state of nothingness.

But these wings were extremely brilliant, woven and gathered from countless golden rays of light!

The Holy Light Jade Deer was already severely wounded, and seeing that it couldn't beat this human, it flew toward the center of the forest!

In the center of the forest lived a herd of Holy Light Jade Deer, and their leader was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast.

"No prey has ever escaped from my hands!"

"Fourth spirit skill, Blazing Sun Cross Slash!"

Li Jiutian snorted coldly, and a massive cross-shaped slash appeared before him, surging violently toward the Holy Light Jade Deer!

The Holy Light Jade Deer looked back and braced its antlers against the cross slash; the attack covered such a wide area that it knew it couldn't dodge.

"Boom!"

The antlers snapped upon impact, and the Holy Light Jade Deer was sent flying five kilometers away by the explosion!

Its entire body was charred black, and it lay on the ground, gasping its final breaths while staring at the human before it with unwillingness.

"To think it still has a breath left; as expected of a sixty-thousand-year spirit beast, its physical body is truly formidable!"

Li Jiutian walked up to it and ended its life with a single strike of a light blade.

A black spirit ring floated up from its corpse.

Li Jiutian took a medicinal herb from his pouch, chewed it, and began to meditate to absorb the spirit ring.

Spirit Hall.

Inside a luxurious room.

On a large bed, the Platinum Bishop was engaged in a passionate tryst with a woman in her twenties.

"Platinum Bishop, you really are as vigorous as ever!"

The woman's face was flushed red as she spoke in a coy, delicate voice.

"Of course, there's no need to even mention the state of this Bishop's body!"

The Platinum Bishop felt elated after being praised.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just then, a series of urgent knocks sounded at the door.

"Platinum Bishop, it's bad! I have an urgent matter to report!"

A spirit master outside the door said in a panic.

"A bunch of useless idiots, always ruining my good time!"

The Platinum Bishop pulled up his trousers and said, "Come in!"

"It's... it's bad, Captain Huang and the others!"

The spirit master started to speak, but hesitated when he saw the woman on the bed.

"You, get out first!"

The Platinum Bishop waved his hand at the woman.

"Mm!"

The woman nodded, quickly put on her undergarments, and hurried out in a fluster.

"Speak, what happened to Old Huang and the others?"

The Platinum Bishop took a sip of tea and asked calmly.

"Captain Huang and the fifty-plus spirit masters under his command have all gone missing!"

The spirit master lowered his head, speaking with some nervousness.

"What! Where did they go missing?"

"I told you to keep a secret watch on them, and this is how you watch people?"

"What a useless piece of trash!"

The Platinum Bishop spat a mouthful of tea onto the spirit master's face and kicked him to the ground.

"They went missing near the center of Spirit City, around that newly built villa!"

The spirit master stood up, terrified.

"Sigh, you go out first!"

The Platinum Bishop seemed to age ten years in an instant, slumping into his chair.

Hearing the order, the spirit master scrambled out of the room, terrified that the Platinum Bishop might kill him.

"Those idiots, to think they actually provoked Li Jiutian!"

"I hope they didn't mention my name, otherwise my position will be in jeopardy."

"Li Jiutian, so what if you are the Great Elder's disciple? If you dare to cut off my source of wealth, I will make you pay!"

The Platinum Bishop thought viciously, then squeezed his left hand, instantly shattering the armrest of the chair.

The northern side of the Sunset Forest.

Li Jiutian slowly opened his eyes, his aura surging abruptly.

"After absorbing this spirit ring, my spirit power has increased by another two levels; I am now a level 56 Spirit King!"

"My fifth spirit ability is also incredibly formidable, called the Flame Aurora Sword!"

"This Flame Aurora Sword cuts through iron like mud, and it carries both holy and flame attributes, possessing immense destructive power!"

"The quality of this sword is only a hair lower than the God-Slaying Hammer!"

"However, the surprises brought to me after breaking through to the Spirit King rank don't end there!"

Li Jiutian smiled slightly, and then the sky for 50 kilometers around was completely covered in golden light!

The northern side of the Sunset Forest. The Silk Velvet Tulip immortal herb, Luo Zixuan rises eight levels in a row!

Li Jiutian unfurled his Angel Wings and instantly soared to a height of one hundred meters.

His Angel Wings had also undergone a transformation, evolving from a single pair into two pairs!

"The power of my Angel Domain far exceeds that of Qian Renxue!"

"As I am now, I have no fear at all when encountering an ordinary Spirit Saint!"

After Li Jiutian finished speaking, the golden light erupting from his body expanded at a speed invisible to the naked eye, instantly covering an area of over a thousand square meters.

Within this Angel Domain, one's own overall strength is increased by fifteen percent (forty percent when the Avatar of the Martial Soul is activated).

It can increase the overall strength of allies by fifteen percent (forty percent when the Avatar of the Martial Soul is activated).

It weakens the opponent's overall strength by fifteen percent (forty percent when the Avatar of the Martial Soul is activated).
