Li Jiutian asked.
"The sect is being built in the western part of Spirit City, but we've run into a bit of a thorny problem."
After Qian Daoliu finished speaking, he furrowed his brows slightly.
"What is it?"
After asking, Li Jiutian thought, There's actually a problem even Qian Daoliu can't solve. It must be serious!
"The sect is nearly complete, but we still haven't found anyone suitable to design its defenses and hidden weapons."
"If we don't set up defensive systems and mechanisms, the sect will suffer heavy losses if it's ever attacked!"
Qian Daoliu explained.
"Master, I have someone in mind. He can definitely design the perfect defensive system and mechanisms!"
Li Jiutian replied confidently.
"Good. I'll leave this matter to you!"
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily, then spread his wings and flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest ahead of him.
Li Jiutian followed close behind, thinking, Once we've finished hunting Soul Beasts, I'll have to make a trip to Gengxin City in the City of Steel!
The center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
It was noon, when the sun burned hottest.
"Shining Golden Eyes!"
Golden light flashed in Li Jiutian's eyes. Everything within thirty kilometers came into view!
Soul Beasts with cultivation levels of over fifty thousand years were everywhere, but Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were exceedingly rare.
"Disciple, the Seventh Soul Ring is crucial for a Soul Master."
"First, the Soul Beast you hunt must have an attribute that matches your Martial Soul."
"The higher the age of the Soul Ring, the more powerful your Martial Soul Avatar will be!"
"The Eight-Winged Angel's primary attribute is light, so we must hunt a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a light attribute!"
Qian Daoliu surveyed their surroundings as he explained.
"Master, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts are rare to begin with. Finding one with a light attribute is like searching for a needle in the ocean!"
"A light-attribute Soul Beast like the Heavenly King Griffin is a once-in-a-lifetime find!"
Li Jiutian muttered softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a pillar of light suddenly shot into the sky about seventy kilometers ahead of them!
"Come on. Let's see what's going on!"
After saying that, Qian Daoliu sped toward the pillar of light!
It must be a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's skill. My Seventh Soul Ring is within reach!
Li Jiutian's heart leapt with joy, and he quickly flew after him!
The two of them stopped five kilometers from the pillar of light.
The light began to fade, revealing a towering giant horse!
"My heavens, it's the legendary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Holy Light Pegasus!"
Qian Daoliu exclaimed.
The giant horse stood dozens of meters tall. Its body was entirely white, and a horn about five meters long grew from its forehead!
A pair of snow-white wings sprouted from its back, and a faint golden glow radiated from its body!
Even standing still, it exuded an overwhelming pressure!
"This Soul Beast has nearly two hundred thousand years of cultivation. It's even harder to deal with than the Heavenly King Griffin!"
"Disciple, your Seventh Soul Ring is within reach!"
After he finished speaking, golden light burst from Qian Daoliu, and his Angel Domain instantly spread across an area with a hundred-kilometer radius!
Feeling the surge of Soul Power, the Holy Light Pegasus whinnied and charged straight at Qian Daoliu!
"You beast, you're asking for death!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Qian Daoliu roared. In the next moment, he merged with the Six-Winged Angel, which towered dozens of meters behind him!
Boom!
Golden light blazed from the Six-Winged Angel, blasting the Holy Light Pegasus dozens of kilometers away!
It smashed through three mountains before finally coming to a stop.
"God-Slaying Form One, Sky-Breaking Strike!"
Li Jiutian summoned the God-Slaying Hammer, then was pulled up to the sky, ten thousand meters above the ground!
A blood-red X appeared above the Holy Light Pegasus.
"What incredible pressure!"
"Could that be the God-Slaying Hammer's technique? When did Xiao Tian learn it?"
Watching the clouds scatter across the sky, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but marvel.
Suddenly, the God-Slaying Hammer grew to six meters long, and Li Jiutian plunged down from the sky!
The intense friction from his descent formed a ring of blazing fire around his body!
At that moment, Li Jiutian was like a dark-red comet, hurtling straight toward the Holy Light Pegasus!
Sensing the killing intent, the Holy Light Pegasus spread its wings and flew toward the horizon!
But wherever it flew, that razor-sharp killing intent remained locked onto it!
And as Li Jiutian drew closer to the ground, the pressure grew stronger.
Only when the human in the sky was less than a thousand meters away did the Holy Light Pegasus realize it was a tracking attack.
"Let's see you dodge this!"
Li Jiutian gave a cold snort, and his descent grew even faster!
The Holy Light Pegasus stopped and looked up, letting out an angry whinny!
Ten golden shields, each nearly a hundred meters wide, appeared above it!
Bang!
The moment the God-Slaying Hammer struck the shields, they shattered!
But with each layer destroyed, the power of Sky-Breaking Strike weakened.
The shields shattered one after another. The God-Slaying Hammer's immense destructive force smashed through all ten!
As the giant hammer was about to crash down on its head, the Holy Light Pegasus thrust its horn at it!
Boom!
Red and gold Soul Power surged through the air, shaking it violently!
"Disciple, let your master give you a hand!"
"Sword of Judgment!"
After Qian Daoliu spoke, the Six-Winged Angel's aura surged!
The Holy Sword in its hand instantly transformed into a blade over thirty meters tall!
Feeling the Six-Winged Angel's terrifying Soul Power, golden light began to blaze from the Holy Light Pegasus's horn!
Bang!
In the end, Li Jiutian was overpowered and sent flying ten kilometers away!
"Die!"
Qian Daoliu roared, and the enormous Holy Sword came crashing down toward it!
The force of the strike even cleaved the surrounding air in two!
The Holy Light Pegasus stared at the giant sword rushing toward it, standing stock-still without any intention of dodging.
"Was that horse scared witless by Master's Soul Skill?"
"Master, show mercy! Don't chop it to death!"
Li Jiutian shouted, quickly flying toward Qian Daoliu!
Just then, the sound of something tearing through the air suddenly rang out!
Qian Daoliu and Li Jiutian looked toward the sound, and cold sweat instantly drenched them!
A gigantic meteor, over a hundred meters across, was hurtling down toward the Holy Light Pegasus!
"Not good! Disciple, move!"
"That Holy Light Pegasus is incredible—it can even summon meteors!"
"Angel Shield!"
After speaking, Qian Daoliu scooped Li Jiutian into the Six-Winged Angel's palm and swiftly flew away!
Bang!
The Sword of Judgment was immensely powerful too, slicing the meteor in half!
Boom!
An explosion thundered behind Qian Daoliu and Li Jiutian. The blast seemed powerful enough to shatter their eardrums!
Fortunately, the shield around them muffled some of the sound.
Otherwise, that deafening blast, louder than three hundred decibels, would have left Li Jiutian deaf even if the explosion hadn't killed him!
The roar of a meteor crashing to earth was no joke!
"What incredible destructive power!"
Li Jiutian looked back and couldn't help exclaiming.
By then, the two of them had flown more than a hundred kilometers away!
Black dust drifted through the air behind them.
The meteor had carved out a gigantic crater fifty kilometers wide.
The Holy Light Pegasus, glowing with golden light and completely unharmed, hovered in the center of the crater.
It looked at the two humans before it, surprise flickering in its eyes.
The Holy Light Pegasus had thought the meteor would kill them, but it had miscalculated.
It had underestimated Qian Daoliu's peerless speed!
That enormous meteor had killed hundreds of innocent Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dozens of them had cultivation levels of over ten thousand years, yet even they hadn't withstood the blow.
"This horse is indeed a tough opponent!"
"Master, let's attack together!"
"Fifth Soul Skill, Flame Aurora Sword!"
After speaking, Li Jiutian gripped the giant sword and charged straight at it!
