Qian Renxue gazed at those Nine-Colored Double Pupils.
The two had known each other for only a short while.
By all reason, she should not have placed her hopes on a Soul Master who had only just reached level forty.
Yet with Long Tian standing before her, his calmness and composure made trusting him feel almost natural.
"Alright."
Qian Renxue did not hesitate any longer.
"Then let's try joining forces."
Six angelic wings suddenly spread wide.
Brilliant golden light shot into the sky, instantly illuminating the dim forest around them.
Two yellow, two purple, two black.
Six Soul Rings spun rapidly around her tall figure.
Holding the Angelic Sacred Sword, Qian Renxue beat her wings forcefully and transformed into a streak of golden light as she rushed into the air.
The Resonant Light Behemoth raised its head.
The single eye on its forehead blazed brightly.
A golden beam several meters thick shot into the sky, racing toward the figure in midair.
"Third Soul Skill, Angelic Protection!"
A golden shield condensed before Qian Renxue.
Boom!
The beam crashed heavily into the shield.
Golden ripples spread without end, shredding the surrounding treetops into fragments.
Qian Renxue beat her wings repeatedly, yet her body was still forced backward.
Cracks appeared across the surface of the angelic shield as well.
The Resonant Light Behemoth stomped its limbs against the ground and suddenly leaped up.
Its enormous palm, covered in golden-white armor plates, swept through the air.
The force of its palm sent shattered stones flying, sealing off all of Qian Renxue's paths of retreat.
"Fifth Soul Skill, Sacred Sword!"
The fifth Black Soul Ring suddenly lit up.
The Angelic Sacred Sword rapidly expanded as golden flames blazed fiercely along its blade.
Qian Renxue gripped the sword with both hands and slashed directly at the Resonant Light Behemoth's palm.
Boom!
The golden Sacred Sword collided with the beast's palm.
Sacred Flame spread in every direction.
The armor plates on the Resonant Light Behemoth's palm shattered one after another, but it did not suffer any serious injuries.
A violent force surged through the Sacred Sword.
Qian Renxue's arms went numb, and she was sent flying outright.
Her six wings hurriedly spread, continuously dissipating the impact.
Her golden boots landed on the ground and slid backward dozens of meters before she barely came to a stop.
"The difference in strength is too great."
Qian Renxue raised her Sacred Sword, her chest rising and falling slightly.
The Resonant Light Behemoth gave her no chance to recover.
The six rows of light crystals on its back detached from its body at once, turning into dozens of golden spears that hovered in midair.
The next moment.
All the spears descended together.
Qian Renxue swiftly swung her Sacred Sword.
Dense golden light crisscrossed before her, shattering the incoming light spears one by one.
But there were simply too many light spears.
Several golden spears slipped past her defense and slammed heavily into her angelic armor.
Bang!
The ground beneath Qian Renxue instantly collapsed.
Some color drained from her fair face as well.
"Senior Sister."
Long Tian stood at the edge of the battlefield.
"Leave the rest to the Rainbow Dragon."
Roar!
A resounding dragon roar rang through the entire forest.
Nine-Colored Divine Light surged into the sky from Long Tian's body.
A colossal Rainbow Divine Dragon spiraled into view, with seven elements continuously flowing around its draconic body.
A noble dragon's might descended.
The Resonant Light Behemoth's massive body immediately froze for an instant.
Its golden single eye turned toward the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon, and wariness appeared in its gaze for the first time.
The first Soul Ring beneath Long Tian's feet slowly lit up.
After being strengthened by the Evil Fire Phoenix bloodline, the yellow Soul Ring had taken on a layer of crimson-gold luster.
"First Soul Skill."
"Molten Eruption, Wrath of Divine Fire!"
The Nine-Colored Divine Dragon opened its enormous mouth.
Crimson-gold flames and pure light elements gathered at the same time, forming a dazzling radiance that instantly entered Qian Renxue's body.
Boom!
The Seraphim suddenly spread its wings.
Qian Renxue felt an immense power flood into every part of her body.
The Soul Power she had previously expended rapidly recovered.
The power of her Sacred Flame surged wildly in a very short time.
The flames on the golden Sacred Sword gradually changed from brilliant gold to crimson-gold.
Her Soul Power continued to rise.
The Seraphim Martial Soul's sacred aura directly shattered the pressure brought by the Resonant Light Behemoth.
Qian Renxue looked at the Sacred Sword in her hand, her golden eyes filled with shock.
"My attack power has increased by at least double."
"My Sacred Flame has been strengthened as well."
"So this is the Rainbow Dragon's support?"
Long Tian stood beneath the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon.
"Senior Sister, you can continue now."
Qian Renxue raised her Sacred Sword once more.
With a gentle beat of her six angelic wings, the surrounding air was scorched by golden flames into distorted ripples.
Powerful strength filled her entire body.
The Resonant Light Behemoth, which she had been unable to resist head-on before, no longer held an absolute advantage.
"Sixth Soul Skill, Angelic Judgment!"
A crimson-gold Holy Sword descended from the sky.
The Resonant Light Behemoth raised both palms as its golden-white armor plates erupted with brilliant light.
Boom!
The Holy Sword slashed down between its palms.
This time, Qian Renxue did not retreat.
Sacred Flame pierced through the golden armor plates, leaving a charred sword wound on the Resonant Light Behemoth's arm.
Its huge body could not withstand the impact and staggered several steps backward.
Each step left behind a massive crater in the ground.
Qian Renxue hovered in midair.
Her golden battle skirt fluttered gently in the Soul Power, while her fair legs were shrouded in sacred radiance.
Her six angelic wings were fully spread, and the crimson-gold Holy Sword pointed directly at the giant beast ahead.
The Resonant Light Behemoth raised its single eye again.
A thick beam of light pierced through the sky.
Qian Renxue gripped her sword with both hands and slashed straight down from the front.
The sword light collided with the beam.
Crimson-gold flames raced along the beam, constantly burning away the light elements contained within it.
A moment later.
The entire golden beam was split in two by the Holy Sword.
Qian Renxue passed through the scattered radiance, her six wings carrying her body rapidly downward.
The Holy Sword struck the Resonant Light Behemoth's shoulder again.
Boom!
Large swathes of golden-white armor plates flew in every direction.
The Resonant Light Behemoth's body sank, and half of its massive form dropped heavily to one knee.
Qian Renxue used the force to rise into the air, facing that golden single eye from afar.
After being enhanced by the Rainbow Dragon, the Seraphim could now battle the sixty-thousand-year Resonant Light Behemoth head-on without falling behind in the slightest.
The Resonant Light Behemoth knelt halfway on the shattered ground.
Golden-white armor plates lay scattered all around, while a charred sword wound deep enough to expose bone ran across its shoulder.
Crimson-gold Sacred Flame still clung to the wound.
No matter how the Resonant Light Behemoth mobilized the light elements within its body, it could not extinguish it.
"Roar!"
The giant beast suddenly raised its head.
The golden single eye on its forehead contracted violently, and the six rows of light crystals on its back lit up once more.
The light elements between heaven and earth began to gather frantically toward its enormous body.
Golden radiance also reappeared across the surface of its shattered armor plates.
Ling Yuan saw this and immediately spoke.
"The Resonant Light Behemoth is preparing to recover its injuries."
"Don't give it the chance."
Qian Renxue nodded lightly.
Her six angelic wings fully spread, and she gripped the crimson-gold Holy Sword tightly with both hands again.
After the Rainbow Dragon's enhancement, the Soul Power within her had reached its peak.
Most of the exhaustion from her earlier battle against the Dark Shadow Demon Leopard had also recovered.
"Is this really my power?"
Qian Renxue looked at the Crimson-Gold Divine Flame rising from the Holy Sword.
That attack just now had actually shattered the sixty-thousand-year Resonant Light Behemoth's defense head-on.
Even with the Seraphim Martial Soul, there was still an immense gap in cultivation between a Soul Emperor and a sixty-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Yet under Long Tian's support, that gap had been erased outright.
Even the Seraphim's Sacred Flame had received unprecedented reinforcement.
Long Tian stood beneath the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon.
The first Soul Ring was still radiating crimson-gold light.
"Senior Sister, this isn't the time to lose focus."
"Wrath of Divine Fire has limited duration."
"Finish the battle while it's badly wounded."
Qian Renxue came back to her senses.
Her golden eyes locked onto the Resonant Light Behemoth again.
"Alright."
All six wings beat at once.
Boom!
Soul Power blasted a deep crater into the ground beneath her feet.
That golden figure instantly rose into the sky, sacred radiance piercing through layer after layer of treetops.
The Resonant Light Behemoth had also finished gathering its strength.
The six rows of light crystals on its back fired countless golden rays.
The innumerable rays intertwined before the single eye on its forehead, forming an enormous golden sphere of light.
The surface of the sphere continuously collapsed inward.
The surrounding trees and rocks cracked apart one after another beneath its radiance.
Ling Yuan raised her hand.
Scorching flames formed a barrier, protecting Long Tian and the surrounding area within it.
"The Resonant Light Behemoth is going all out."
"This attack is already close to the full strength of a Soul Douluo."
Long Tian looked up at the sky.
Not only did Qian Renxue fail to retreat, she instead raised the Crimson-Gold Holy Sword in her hand.
Her sixth Black Soul Ring lit up once more.
"Sixth Soul Skill."
"Angelic Judgment!"
The phantom of the Seraphim appeared high in the sky.
Sacred radiance and crimson-gold flames converged at once. The holy sword swelled in the wind, quickly growing dozens of meters long.
The single eye on the Resonant Light Behemoth's forehead abruptly widened.
The golden sphere of light compressed to its limit blasted forth.
The thick beam tore through the air and shot straight toward Qian Renxue.
The Crimson-Gold Holy Sword came down at the same time.
Boom!
The two light-attribute powers collided head-on.
Vast golden ripples swept through the forest.
Countless ancient trees were uprooted, while the hard ground sank layer by layer beneath the impact.
Crimson-gold flames surged continuously along the beam of light.
Although the Resonant Light Behemoth's light attribute was pure, it could not withstand the ultimate flames brought by the Wrath of Divine Fire.
Cracks began appearing across the golden beam.
Qian Renxue tightened both hands around the holy sword.
Fine golden patterns emerged across the backs of her fair hands, and all six angel wings were completely wrapped in Crimson-Gold Divine Flame.
"Break for me!"
The holy sword pressed down again.
Crack!
The golden beam released by the Resonant Light Behemoth split directly down the middle.
The crimson-gold sword light pierced through layers of light elements and struck heavily into the behemoth's chest.
Boom!
Its enormous body was blasted away by the sword light.
Large patches of its gold-white armor shattered, and blood sprayed from its wounds.
The Resonant Light Behemoth crashed through more than ten ancient trees before finally slamming into a mountain wall.
Broken rocks poured down.
The behemoth struggled to rise, but it could only lift one bloodstained palm.
Qian Renxue floated in midair.
Looking at the huge sword scar across the Resonant Light Behemoth's chest, shock still lingered in her golden eyes.
"A 60,000-Year Soul Beast was heavily injured by a single strike from me."
"Just how far can Long Tian's support elevate a Soul Master?"
Qian Renxue lowered her gaze.
That figure in white stood within the Nine-Colored Divine Light.
His flawless, handsome face was especially striking, while his Nine-Colored Double Pupils calmly watched the battlefield.
Merely attaching the first soul skill to her had given the Seraphim Martial Soul the power to suppress a 60,000-Year Soul Beast head-on.
If he supported several assault-type Soul Masters at once, it would be enough to change the outcome of a large-scale battle.
The Resonant Light Behemoth let out another beastly roar.
The single eye on its forehead turned with difficulty as the sparse light elements around it once again gathered toward its wounds.
Qian Renxue did not waste any more time.
Her six wings fluttered lightly, and that golden figure plunged rapidly from the sky.
The Crimson-Gold Holy Sword pierced through the Resonant Light Behemoth's chest.
Pfft!
The blade pierced its heart.
Sacred Flame entered its body along with its flesh and blood, completely purifying its final trace of life.
The Resonant Light Behemoth's raised hand fell limply.
Its enormous body stopped struggling.
A moment later.
A deep Black Soul Ring slowly rose above the corpse.
Six golden light patterns were distributed across the surface of the Black Soul Ring.
A 60,000-Year Soul Ring!
Qian Renxue landed beside the corpse.
Her six angel wings slowly folded away, and her golden boots stepped onto the shattered armor fragments.
Using her sixth soul skill twice in succession had made her breathing somewhat hurried.
Her close-fitting golden battle dress outlined her tall figure.
A pair of long, fair legs was exposed beneath the skirt armor.
The fierce battle earlier had left several tears in her golden boots.
One of the boots had split open at the side, revealing a delicate jade foot wrapped in a thin white stocking.
Her ankle was slender, and the curve of her instep was graceful.
Yet Qian Renxue paid no attention to any of that.
Her golden eyes were fixed intently on the Soul Ring above the Resonant Light Behemoth.
"60,000 years."
"Its attributes perfectly match the Seraphim Martial Soul."
Ling Yuan came forward.
"Absorb it immediately."
"Long Tian and I will stand guard for you."
Qian Renxue nodded lightly.
She sat cross-legged beside the Resonant Light Behemoth's corpse.
Her golden battle dress spread along her legs, while six angel wings unfolded behind her and sheltered her body at the center.
Drawn by Soul Power.
The 60,000-Year Soul Ring slowly descended.
The moment the black radiance touched the Seraphim Martial Soul, it immediately erupted with powerful light-element fluctuations.
Boom!
Qian Renxue's body swayed slightly.
The vast energy within the 60,000-Year Soul Ring surged madly into her meridians.
Her golden hair was blown upward by Soul Power.
A trace of pain appeared on her fair face as well.
The Resonant Light Behemoth's remaining spiritual power continuously battered her consciousness.
Long Tian walked several steps away.
His Nine-Colored Double Pupils observed the elemental changes within Qian Renxue's body.
"The Resonant Light Behemoth's light attribute is merging with the Seraphim."
"There is currently no rejection."
Ling Yuan looked toward Qian Renxue, who sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Her physical strength far surpasses that of an ordinary Soul Emperor."
"Although a 60,000-Year Soul Ring is dangerous, it is still within her limits."
"As long as she suppresses the Resonant Light Behemoth's soul impact, there will be no problem."
Qian Renxue formed hand seals with both hands.
The phantom of the Seraphim slowly rose behind her.
Sacred Flame covered her entire body, refining the violent power within the Soul Ring bit by bit.
Time passed slowly.
The midday sun gradually shifted westward.
Until dusk arrived.
The Black Soul Ring finally stopped stirring.
The Resonant Light Behemoth's remaining spiritual power was completely purified by the Seraphim.
Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes.
Dazzling golden light shot from the depths of her eyes.
Boom!
The powerful aura of a Soul Sage instantly spread in all directions.
The surrounding rubble was completely pushed away.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black.
Seven Soul Rings rose one after another beneath her feet.
Six golden light patterns slowly gleamed across the surface of the final Black Soul Ring.
60,000 years, the seventh Soul Ring!
The Seraphim fully spread its wings behind her.
Qian Renxue bathed in sacred radiance, her stunning face filled with delight.
"I succeeded!"
"I've finally broken through to Soul Sage!"
The power brought by the Soul Ring was even greater than she had expected.
The Seraphim Martial Soul's Light Origin had also been noticeably enhanced after absorbing the Resonant Light Behemoth.
Before you continue
