The Purple Wings Spider Emperor and the Golden Hawksbill Turtle! (Two chapters in one)
And just then...
The content of the Fifth Trial of the Sea God resurfaced in Bibi Dong's mind.
[The Fifth Trial of the Sea God: Challenge and defeat the Five Great Lords under Bo Saixi's command, as well as eight Titled Douluo including Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming.]
[Return to Sea God Island within two months to participate in the assessment]
Upon seeing the content of this assessment, Bibi Dong was completely stunned.
They challenged the Five Great Lords, plus Yu Tianqing, Yu Shuyao, and Yu Ming, making a total of eight Titled Douluo, and the strongest among them had Soul Power level of ninety-six!
With her current Soul Power of Eighty-Third Rank, is she really capable of defeating her opponent?
Bibi Dong wasn't lacking in confidence in her strength. After all, she already possessed a strong ability to fight beyond her level, and with the addition of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone she had just acquired, her combat power had increased significantly.
She was fairly confident if her opponent was only Ninety-Fifth Rank.
But now the strongest has reached level 96, and there are eight of them at once, which is already extremely difficult.
The difference between Ninety-Fifth Rank and level 96 is significant!
What Bibi Dong didn't expect was that the objects in this challenge also included Yu Changge's parents and teachers.
Fortunately, this time, the Fifth Trial of the Sea God did not require her to complete it immediately.
In other words, she still has enough time to improve her own abilities.
After reviewing the assessment materials, Bibi Dong did not conceal anything but told Qian Daoliu and the others about the content of the Fifth Trial of the Sea God.
"I see."
After listening, Qian Daoliu pondered for a moment.
"In that case, a month from now, Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and I will go back to Sea God Island with you."
Yue Guan and Gui Mei nodded as well.
Yu Changge looked at Bibi Dong with a slight smile on her face.
"Dong'er, keep going!"
"I won't be going to Sea God Island with you this time. I have my own Divine Trial to complete."
Bibi Dong was visibly taken aback upon hearing this.
She had known for a long time that Yu Changge possessed her own Divine Trial, but when she actually heard that Yu Changge couldn't go to Sea God Island with her, she still felt a little disappointed.
However, she also understood the importance of the matter.
"Um."
Bibi Dong nodded gently, "You should also be careful then."
After they finish their Divine Trial, they will have plenty of time to be together.
Soon, when the group left the core area of Star Dou Forest, they did not encounter Di Tian and other Ferocious Beast again.
They hadn't gone far when the Golden Crocodile suddenly stopped.
"Etc."
Golden Crocodile frowned, sensing the constant fluctuations of Soul Power emanating from afar, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
"This is... two auras surpassing those of Titled Douluo clashing?"
"Could it be two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"
Qian Daoliu also sensed the two powerful auras and immediately said, "Let's go, let's go take a look."
Without further delay, the group concealed their presence and moved towards the direction from which the Soul Power fluctuations originated.
After a brief search, they finally saw the two sides engaged in combat.
A spider-like spirit beast is frantically attacking another spirit beast.
Its opponent, however, was a gigantic turtle-like soul beast with a body entirely of brilliant gold.
The battle between the two soul beasts was extremely fierce, with terrifying Soul Power clashing constantly; both were clearly beings at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier.
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes and looked at the spider-like soul beast.
"Judging from its aura, this spider-like soul beast should be a 100,000-year-old Purple Wings Spider Emperor."
At this point, a smile appeared on Qian Daoliu's face.
"We were pretty lucky."
"Before Dong'er heads to Sea God Island, we can add another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring to her Soul Devouring Spider Emperor."
The Golden Crocodile's gaze had already fallen upon another giant, golden tortoise.
"What is that turtle-like spirit beast? I've never seen it before?"
"This golden appearance is quite similar to my and Changge's Martial Soul."
However, Yu Changge remained silent at this moment. His gaze fell on the giant golden tortoise, and his pupils contracted slightly.
The next moment, a name was uttered.
"Golden Hawksbill Turtle!"
Golden Crocodile was taken aback. "You know about this soul beast?"
Yu Changge nodded.
"I've heard of it."
"This kind of spirit beast is said to be an auspicious creature among turtle-type spirit beasts, renowned for its long lifespan and abundant fortune, while also possessing extremely strong defensive capabilities and vitality."
"We didn't expect our luck to be so good this time. This Purple Wings Spider Emperor is just right for Dong'er to absorb."
"As for this Golden Hawksbill Turtle, I'll absorb it."
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu immediately looked at Yu Changge, "Are you sure you want to absorb this Golden Hawksbill Turtle?"
Yu Changge said, "I'm sure, Grandpa Qian, this Golden Hawksbill Turtle has both water and earth attributes."
"If I absorb its Soul Ring, I will not only gain the abilities of the Earth of the Spleen, but also further strengthen the Kidney Water. This is killing two birds with one stone."
"My original plan was to use my earth-attribute Soul Ring to absorb the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape that we discovered earlier."
"But now it seems to me that the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's Soul Ring are much better than those of the Titan Giant Ape."
Yu Changge for a moment, then continued to explain.
"Earth-type spirit beasts are primarily defensive, and the Golden Hawksbill Turtle is itself a defensive-type spirit beast."
"More importantly, it also possesses extremely strong life attributes."
"And my Body Martial Soul, if it wants to undergo a higher-level awakening, also needs strong vitality to support it."
Having said this, Yu Changge had made her choice very clear.
After a moment's thought, Qian Daoliu nodded.
"Alright, then so be it."
But then the Golden Crocodile suddenly grasped another key point.
"Wait, when did you discover the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape?"
How come I didn't know?
Chrysanthemum Douluo, who was standing to the side, immediately smiled. "Second Worship, it's normal that you don't know about this."
"Several years ago, when we came to the Star Dou Forest, we discovered three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in one place."
"They are the Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python, and the Soft Bone Rabbit."
Upon hearing this, the Golden Crocodile's eyes immediately lit up.
"In that case, after we hunt down these two soul beasts, why don't we just go and hunt down the other three?"
"No."
Qian Daoliu and Yu Changge spoke almost simultaneously.
Golden Crocodile was taken aback for a moment, but Qian Daoliu smiled slightly.
"Those three soul beasts won't run away."
"Golden Crocodile, as you know, we now know that above Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, there are even more Ferocious Beast."
"Perhaps Changge and Dong'er will be able to obtain Ferocious Beast Soul Ring in the future."
"Therefore, let's consider these three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as a last resort."
Qian Daoliu paused, "If we really can't find any other suitable soul beasts, it's not too late to come back and hunt them."
"Besides, even if no suitable Ferocious Beast are found in the entire Douluo Continent, isn't there still the Sun-Moon Continent?"
What do you think?
After hearing this, Golden Crocodile laughed heartily, "Brother, you're right."
Azure Luan, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "Those three soul beasts probably never imagined that what is so tempting to other Soul Master — Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Spirit Bone —would only be a last resort for Changge and Dong'er."
Yu Changge simply smiled and didn't say anything more.
Because for him and Bibi Dong, this was indeed the case.
Given the opportunity to acquire a more suitable Soul Ring, they naturally wouldn't rush to harm those three spirit beasts.
The Golden Crocodile, however, was already quite impatient.
"In that case, let's not waste any more time and get straight to it."
"When we return to the Spirit Hall, we'll have to protect Dong'er as he condenses his first Attribute Soul Core, and we also need to absorb that Evil God Pearl. The timeframe is a bit tight."
Yu Changge waved his hand, "Grandpa Golden Crocodile, there's no rush."
"They are, after all, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Neither Dong'er nor I are ordinary Soul Master; we are those who have undergone Divine Trial."
"If they're willing to sacrifice themselves for us, then we don't need to actually kill them, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu also realized what was happening.
"Are you planning to expose the identities of the Divine Trial- takers and force them to offer sacrifices?"
"And the condition is that after you become gods, you must find a way to resurrect them?"
Yu Changge nodded. "Yes, let's try diplomacy first, then resort to force."
"After all, it's not easy for the other party to cultivate for 100,000 years. If we weren't Divine Trial takers, we could just hunt them down."
"But since we are burdened with Divine Trial, we can certainly give them that opportunity."
"Of course, the outcome won't change; the only difference is whether they're willing to take the gamble."
"Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast will definitely understand what we're saying."
Qian Daoliu did not object.
The next moment, he walked straight out.
As the aura of Ninety-Ninth Rank Peerless Douluo was released, a terrifying pressure of Soul Power instantly swept out, directly enveloping the two soul beasts that were fiercely fighting.
Boom!
The two soul beasts, which had been fighting fiercely, suddenly froze.
Then, as if they were being crushed by an invisible mountain, they could no longer continue their attack.
A hint of fear flashed in the Golden Hawksbill Turtle turtle's eyes.
"Ninety-Ninth Rank Peerless Douluo!"
What do you want to do?!
Although the Golden Hawksbill Turtle maintained a calm demeanor, it was already inwardly wailing. "It's all over! It's all over!"
My Soul Ring and Spirit Bone are in danger!
This morning, I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen.
They initially thought it was the giant spider that had suddenly attacked them, but now they realized that the real danger wasn't it at all, but rather this group of humans who had suddenly appeared.
That's so unlucky!
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle was internally ranting, but dared not move an inch.
After all, the person in front of him was Ninety-Ninth Rank Peerless Douluo.
Although he was Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he had little ability to resist a human powerhouse of this level.
On the other side, the Purple Wings Spider Emperor also stopped struggling, its eight spider legs tense, and it kept emitting low hisses.
The Purple Wings Spider Emperor stared warily at Qian Daoliu and the others, its expression a warning to everyone to stay away.
Clearly, this Purple Wings Spider Emperor is far more ferocious than the Golden Hawksbill Turtle.
Spider-type spirit beasts are apex predators, and spiders that can grow to the Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier are even more difficult to deal with.
Just then, Yu Changge stepped out from the crowd.
His gaze first fell on the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, and looking at the Golden Giant Turtle that was suppressed by Qian Daoliu's pressure and could not move, Yu Changge's face showed a smile.
"Golden Hawksbill Turtle, how about we discuss something?"
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle watched him warily.
Yu Changge didn't mince words. "I need your Soul Ring. How about you offer it to me as a sacrifice?"
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle's eyes widened instantly.
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"Even if I die, I will never willingly sacrifice myself to you humans!"
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle answered almost without hesitation.
It's a dignified Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, how could it willingly sacrifice itself to a human Soul Master?
Yu Changge simply smiled faintly, "Are you sure?"
"If you offer yourself as a sacrifice to me, you might live on, but if you refuse, you will die now."
The moment those words were spoken, the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's heart trembled.
The voice was utterly calm, yet it was like a demon's whisper, drilling directly into its mind.
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle remained silent for a moment before speaking hesitantly.
"Yes... yes."
"However, I'm curious, what exactly do you mean by 'you can live on'?"
"Of course, I was just asking casually. Anyway, there's no way I would ever offer a sacrifice!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Changge chuckled inwardly, still stubbornly refusing to admit it.
If they could truly live, he didn't believe any soul beast would willingly choose to die.
Especially for spirit beasts like the Golden Hawksbill Turtle, known for their long lifespan and powerful vitality, they should be even more afraid of death.
Yu Changge raised her hand, and the blood-red Asura sword on her forehead slowly lit up before disappearing again.
"I have received the inheritance of the Asura God. If I can complete the Asura God's Ninth Trial, I can become a god."
"If you willingly offer yourself as a sacrifice to me, then I will resurrect you after I become a god."
"How?"
"Then you will truly gain immortality, which will be much longer than your current lifespan?"
"You can choose to take a gamble, but no matter what you choose, I'm taking your Soul Ring."
The Golden Hawksbill Turtle fell completely silent.
It never expected that the human before it would possess Divine Trial!
But brother, could you please be a little more tactful in your speech?
If you soften your tone a bit, I'll agree!
Give me a way out!
Why are you being so blunt?
Don't I have any dignity?
Golden Hawksbill Turtle was conflicted, but outwardly she still maintained her composure and did not immediately agree.
Just then, Bibi Dong also came out from the other side.
However, as soon Bibi Dong got a little closer, the Purple Wings Spider Emperor immediately let out a low roar at her.
"Hiss!"
The Purple Wings Spider Emperor stared intently at Bibi Dong with its scarlet eyes, uttering threatening sounds continuously.
Bibi Dong did not retreat. She slowly raised her hand, causing the Golden Trident mark on her forehead, a Sea God's Inheritance, to light up. A flash of golden light passed by.
The Purple Wings Spider Emperor clearly sensed the aura emanating from the divine inheritance, and instinctively shrank back a little.
Even so, it still didn't bow its head, and kept breathing on Bibi Dong.
For this spider-like soul beast, which is over Hundred-Thousand-Year Tier, humans are still its enemies.
Even though Bibi Dong displayed the Golden Trident mark, it only made the cat hesitate slightly, but did not make it truly agree to sacrifice itself.
Clearly, getting the Purple Wings Spider Emperor to offer itself as a sacrifice is far more difficult than getting the Golden Hawksbill Turtle to agree.
