"What a terrifying human! Even if my big brother and I fought together, we probably wouldn't be his match!"
The Titan Giant Ape gazed at the Six-Winged Angel in midair, its voice trembling with fear.
A beautiful young woman stood on its shoulder.
She had bright eyes and pearly teeth, skin as white as snow, and a pair of lovely crystal shoes. She looked just like Cinderella stepping out of a fairy tale.
That girl was Xiao Wu!
Xiao Wu hadn't noticed Qian Daoliu. Instead, she stared at Li Jiutian, lying beneath a tree with bones broken throughout his body!
"Ninth Soul Skill, Angel Light Feather!"
Qian Daoliu shouted, and golden light burst from the Six-Winged Angel!
A mighty surge of golden Soul Power shot straight toward the Holy Light Pegasus!
"Boom!"
The attack blasted an enormous crater around the Holy Light Pegasus!
The horn atop its head snapped off with a sharp crack!
But the assault wasn't over. Golden light flared from the Six-Winged Angel's wings, and countless golden feathers appeared around them before shooting toward the beast!
Every feather carried purifying and holy properties, along with the force of 500,000 catties!
"Whoosh!"
After countless feathers pierced the Holy Light Pegasus, the light in its eyes gradually faded, and its gaze began to grow unfocused.
It looked as though it might stop breathing at any moment!
"Disciple, finish it off!"
Qian Daoliu shouted.
Li Jiutian nodded slightly, then forced himself through the pain and flew toward the Holy Light Pegasus!
"First Soul Skill, Vacuum Slash!"
A golden blade of light appeared in the air and sliced straight through the Holy Light Pegasus's neck!
At that moment, a blood-red Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring began to rise from its corpse!
A pure white Holy Light Pegasus left leg Soul Bone floated up after it!
"You've been watching this priest for some time. If you've got the guts, come out and fight me to the death!"
Qian Daoliu glanced behind him and roared.
Chapter 57: Holy Light!
The moment the Titan Giant Ape and Xiao Wu entered the Angel Domain, Qian Daoliu had sensed their auras.
He'd simply been too busy fighting the Holy Light Pegasus to pay them any attention.
"Uh-oh! Sister Xiao Wu, we should get out of here!"
After speaking, the Titan Giant Ape carried her off toward the Lake of Life.
Li Jiutian was gravely wounded, and Qian Daoliu had spent seventy percent of his Soul Power.
The Titan Giant Ape could easily have killed them both.
But it was simple-minded and lacked the nerve to do so.
As those two auras gradually weakened, Qian Daoliu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Disciple, hurry and absorb the Soul Ring and Soul Bone. We shouldn't linger here!"
Li Jiutian nodded slightly and sat down to absorb the Soul Ring.
The next morning.
The heart of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The land around them was devastated, desolate as far as the eye could see.
After yesterday's battle, no Soul Beasts remained in this area.
Li Jiutian opened his eyes, and a fierce killing intent burst from his body.
All the wounds on him had healed!
"Disciple, you're finally awake!"
"Come on, tell me about your Soul Skill and Soul Bone Skill!"
Qian Daoliu smiled and asked.
"Master, absorbing the Soul Ring and Soul Bone raised my Soul Power to level 75!"
"My Seventh Soul Skill is called Angel Avatar. Once released, it greatly boosts the power of my domain and my own Soul Power!"
"The Holy Light Pegasus left leg Soul Bone's passive skill is Holy Light!"
"If my body is injured, a white light forms inside me."
"That light automatically repairs the injured area."
"For ordinary external wounds, I'll be healed in just a few seconds!"
"For serious injuries like broken bones or heart damage, it takes somewhat longer to recover."
"In short, as long as I don't suffer a fatal injury, Holy Light won't stop healing me!"
"The second skill of the left leg Soul Bone is Meteor Fall!"
"It can summon a thirty-meter-wide meteorite from the sky!"
Li Jiutian spoke with delight.
"Mm, not bad!"
"That trip was perilous, but at least we came away with a great haul!"
"There's no time to waste. Let's head back!"
After speaking, Qian Daoliu unfurled his Angel Wings.
"Master, you can go back first."
"I want to stop by Bright Villa."
Li Jiutian lowered his head slightly and replied respectfully.
"Very well. Then I'll return to the Elder Hall first!"
"And make sure to help His Holiness the Pope with her burdens from time to time."
"Ah, she's had such a hard life."
Qian Daoliu said meaningfully, then vanished in a streak of golden light.
Watching him disappear into the distance, Li Jiutian unfurled his Angel Wings and flew toward Spirit City.
His Angel Wings had evolved from two pairs of wings into three!
The center of Spirit City.
Inside Bright Villa.
"I'm back!"
Li Jiutian pushed open the door, flopped down on the sofa, and called out.
"Brother, you're finally back!"
Luo Zixuan ran out of her room and pressed close beside him.
A soft sensation brushed against Li Jiutian's arm.
In the nearly two years since then, Luo Zixuan's snowy breasts had grown another size.
Hearing his voice, Bai Wanting came out of her room as well.
"Brother, you seem to have grown a lot stronger!"
Feeling the fluctuations of Soul Power around him, Luo Zixuan exclaimed in amazement.
"Mm, I just got back from the Star Dou Great Forest with my master."
"I'm a level 75 Soul Saint now!"
Li Jiutian replied with a smile.
His words left both women stunned!
"I'm going to Gengxin City, the City of Steel, tomorrow!"
"So, you two beauties—want to come along and look around?"
Li Jiutian stood up and asked.
"Brother Tian... Can I come with you, too?"
Bai Wanting asked hesitantly.
After all, she'd come from a small village and hadn't seen much of the world.
She'd only just arrived in bustling Spirit City, so it was hard to keep from feeling inferior.
Even though she was beautiful, it would take time to overcome that insecurity.
"Of course you can!"
"You're one of the people of Spirit Hall now, so be confident!"
"Sooner or later, Spirit Hall will unify the continent!"
Li Jiutian patted her shoulder and spoke gently.
When Bai Wanting had first arrived in Spirit City, Luo Zixuan had taken her to an upscale clothing shop.
She'd spent 5,000 Gold Soul Coins to have a white princess dress custom-made for her.
The dress made Bai Wanting's bearing even more graceful, putting her among the ranks of beauties.
Still, she fell just a little short of Luo Zixuan.
But she was certainly beautiful enough to rival the Shrek Three Beauties.
"The City of Steel sounds like so much fun!"
"Brother, I'm coming with you tomorrow, too!"
Luo Zixuan chimed in.
"Mm, come on. I'll take you two around Spirit City!"
"I'll buy some ingredients and make you a feast tonight!"
"Tell me what you want to buy later. Everything's on me tonight!"
Li Jiutian said with a smile, leading the two women toward the door!
"Yay!"
"I can't remember how long it's been since I last went shopping with you, Brother!"
Luo Zixuan was so excited that she couldn't hide her smile.
Spirit City.
On a bustling street.
The calls of countless street vendors rang out without pause:
