Fifth Soul Skill, Flame Aurora Sword! / Chapter 23: Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, Luo Zixuan Leaps Eight Levels!

"Ha, you can only act tough for now. In three or four years, it's still anyone's guess who'll grind whose bones to dust!"

Li Jiutian thought to himself. Then he released his Soul Power, forming a golden shield, and slowly walked out of the Herb Garden.

The outskirts of Sunset Forest, northeastern side.

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

Before long, the burns and frostbite covering his body had healed, and his Soul Power had returned to its peak.

"This Good Fortune Pouch really is a heaven-defying Soul Tool. Thank goodness I have it—it's been a huge help!"

"Now my pouch is filled with countless top-grade Immortal Herbs. They could save my life at a critical moment!"

Li Jiutian said delightedly. Then he took the Infernal Delicate Apricot and Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass from his pouch, put them both in his mouth, and began meditating to absorb their effects!

Chapter 22: Fifth Soul Skill, Flame Aurora Sword!

Sunset Forest, late at night.

With two powerful Martial Souls bolstering him, Li Jiutian absorbed the medicinal effects of the two Immortal Herbs far faster than Tang San had.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and spread his Angel Wings, soaring high into the sky!

"Exhilarating! Absolutely exhilarating!"

"After absorbing these two Immortal Herbs, my Soul Power jumped up seven levels, and my mental strength doubled!"

"My Shining Golden Eyes have also evolved to the second stage. As long as I focus my mental strength, I can see an incredible thirty kilometers!"

"I've also awakened a skill called Flash Gold Light. It's a linear single-target attack that can deal a devastating blow to an enemy's mental strength!"

"Most importantly, I can finally release both Martial Souls at the same time!"

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

"I shouldn't linger here. It'll be bad if Old Poison finds me!"

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

Twenty kilometers away stood a gigantic jade deer, over ten meters long.

It had a pair of enormous antlers, and its body was covered in dense golden patterns. A faint golden light radiated from it.

"That's a Holy Light Jade Deer. Judging by its size, it must have cultivated for sixty thousand years!"

"Holy Light Jade Deer are extremely rare Light-attribute Soul Beasts. Few people ever get a glimpse of them!"

"What a pity that Qian Daoliu isn't here with me. There's no way I could beat it on my own!"

Li Jiutian shook his head with a sigh. Just as he was about to give up, he noticed that something was wrong with the Holy Light Jade Deer.

First, faint wounds covered its body, and the golden light it gave off was dimmer than usual. It looked extremely weak.

"It must have just fought another Soul Beast over territory!"

"Bad luck for you, running into me. I've found my fifth Soul Ring!"

Li Jiutian smiled and shot toward it!

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

"What an ear-splitting cry! My head hurts!"

"That sound can actually make people dizzy!"

"Third Soul Skill, Air Cut!"

Li Jiutian's expression turned cold. Then he used Teleportation, appearing right in front of the Holy Light Jade Deer!

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

"Die!"

His left fist glowed gold as he slammed it toward the Holy Light Jade Deer!

At that moment, a deep blue glow rose around the Holy Light Jade Deer, like ghostly fire!

"Boom!"

After a thunderous explosion, Li Jiutian was sent flying five hundred meters, while the Holy Light Jade Deer was blasted a kilometer away!

"This... How is that possible? It has a Soul Skill like that?"

"I clearly felt the power of the Holy Light Burst God Fist blast me hundreds of meters away!"

"But the Holy Light Jade Deer was thrown a whole kilometer. That light around its body can actually reflect forty percent of a Soul Skill's power back at the person who used it!"

"A sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast really isn't easy to deal with. If it were at full strength, I wouldn't stand a chance!"

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

A pair of wings suddenly sprouted from the Holy Light Jade Deer's back. They had no physical form, existing only as an illusion.

But they shone brilliantly, woven from countless golden strands of light!

The Holy Light Jade Deer was already gravely injured. Seeing that it couldn't defeat the human, it flew toward the center of the forest!

The Holy Light Jade Deer's herd lived in the forest's heart, and its leader was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"No prey has ever escaped me!"

"Fourth Soul Skill, Blazing Sun Cross Slash!"

Li Jiutian gave a cold snort. A huge cross-shaped slash appeared before him and shot toward the Holy Light Jade Deer!

The Holy Light Jade Deer glanced back and thrust its antlers toward the slash. The attack covered such a wide area that there was nowhere to dodge.

"Boom!"

Its antlers snapped, and the Holy Light Jade Deer was blasted five kilometers away!

Its body was charred black. It lay on the ground, on the verge of death, staring at the human before it with resentment.

"It's still breathing! A sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast really does have a powerful body!"

Li Jiutian walked up to it and ended its life with a slash of light!

A black Soul Ring rose from its corpse.

Li Jiutian took a medicinal herb from his pouch and chewed it. Then he sat down to meditate and absorb the Soul Ring.

Spirit Hall.

In a luxurious room.

On a large bed, the Platinum Bishop was tangled up with a woman in her twenties.

"Platinum Bishop, you're quite the virile old man!"

The woman's face was flushed as she spoke in a coquettish voice.

"Of course! There's no need to question this bishop's strength!"

The Platinum Bishop was floating on air after hearing her praise.

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Suddenly, a hurried knocking came from the door.

"Platinum Bishop, something's wrong! I have an urgent report!"

A Soul Master outside the door said anxiously.

"A bunch of useless fools. They always know how to ruin my fun!"

The Platinum Bishop pulled up his pants, then said, "Come in!"

"B-Bad news, Captain Huang and the others...!"

The Soul Master began, but stopped when he glanced at the woman on the bed.

"Leave us," the Platinum Bishop said, waving the woman away.

"Mm!" the woman replied, then hurriedly put on her undergarments and rushed out.

"Go on. What happened to Old Huang and the others?" the Platinum Bishop asked calmly, taking a sip of tea.

"Captain Huang and more than fifty Soul Masters under his command have all disappeared!" the Soul Master said, lowering his head nervously.

"What! Where did they disappear?"

"I told you to keep an eye on them in secret. Is this how you keep watch?"

"You useless piece of trash!"

The Platinum Bishop spat tea in the Soul Master's face, then kicked him to the ground.

"They disappeared around the newly built villa near the center of Spirit City!" the Soul Master said in terror as he got to his feet.

"Enough. You can go," the Platinum Bishop said, suddenly looking ten years older as he slumped into a chair.

At the order, the Soul Master scrambled out of the room, terrified that the Platinum Bishop might kill him.

"That bunch of fools actually picked a fight with Li Jiutian!"

"I hope they didn't give him my name. Otherwise, I might lose my position."

"Li Jiutian, so what if you're the Great Enshrined's disciple? You dare cut off my source of income? I'll make you pay!"

The Platinum Bishop thought viciously. Then he clenched his left hand, crushing the armrest in an instant.

The northern side of Sunset Forest.

Li Jiutian slowly opened his eyes, and his aura surged.

"After absorbing this Soul Ring, my Soul Power rose another two levels. I'm now a level fifty-six Soul King!"

"My fifth Soul Skill is powerful too. It's called Flame Aurora Sword!"

"The Flame Aurora Sword can cut through iron like mud. It carries both holy and fire attributes, and its destructive power is immense!"

"The sword's quality is only a little below that of the God-Slaying Hammer!"

"But breaking through to Soul King brought me far more surprises than that!"

Li Jiutian smiled. Golden light spread across the sky for fifty kilometers in every direction!

Chapter 23: Aromatic Silk Beauty Immortal Herb, Luo Zixuan Leaps Eight Levels!

Li Jiutian spread his Angel Wings and soared a hundred meters into the sky in an instant.

His Angel Wings had changed too: his original pair had evolved into two pairs!

"The power of my Angel Domain far surpasses Qian Renxue's!"

"Now, even an ordinary Soul Saint is no threat to me!"

After Li Jiutian spoke, the golden light erupting from his body spread at an imperceptible speed, instantly covering an area of more than a thousand square meters.

Within this Angel Domain, his overall strength increased by fifteen percent (or forty percent when he activated his Martial Soul Avatar).

It could increase the overall strength of his allies by fifteen percent (or forty percent when they activated their Martial Soul Avatar).

It weakened the overall strength of his opponents by fifteen percent (or forty percent when they activated their Martial Soul Avatar).
