Tyrant Qian Ni! The Human Form's Leap! Perceiving the Mechanism Opens the Door to Ultimate Power!

The moment Qian Ni and Meng Yiran formed their remote Entwined Branches bond!

Opposite to the activation of Heavenly Tyrant within Qian Ni, Meng Yiran's Soul Power surged explosively!

She already possessed thirty levels of Soul Power, plus Qian Ni's forty levels of Soul Power!

At this moment, Meng Yiran's temporary Soul Power Level still exceeded level forty-three! Close to 0.618 times the sum of their levels.

The golden ratio! What a marvelous proportion!

Yet Meng Yiran felt unbearably miserable!

The quality of Qian Ni's Soul Power was incredibly high! If her Soul Power was thin mountain mist, then Qian Ni's was a roaring river.

Every moment, every second, filled Meng Yiran with an all-pervasive swelling pain.

If it had merely been level forty-three Soul Power, Meng Yiran would not have found it unbearable. But Qian Ni's Soul Power was far too scorching! Too wild and untamable!

Meng Yiran's cheeks flushed crimson. She felt as though she could be ignited at any moment by the scorching Soul Power that still rampaged through her body even after being merged!

But she couldn't surrender!

She had to endure!

For Qian Ni! To repay his life-saving grace! To avoid betraying her own feelings!

During the past few days she had followed Zhu Zhuqing, Meng Yiran had already learned some information about Qian Ni.

She knew the abilities of Qian Ni's martial soul.

Entwined Branches!

What a beautiful, yearning-inspiring phrase!

Whenever she thought of it, Meng Yiran couldn't help imagining a future where she and Qian Ni became joined by Entwined Branches, flying side by side like Twin-Winged Birds.

It was an ability that could completely entrust one's Soul Power to a Soul Master of the opposite sex!

After forming Entwined Branches, Qian Ni's own Soul Power would drop to zero, and he would be unable to use soul skills.

With the Titan Giant Ape, such a formidable enemy, right before them, Qian Ni had still used Entwined Branches on her and entrusted all his Soul Power to her!

Qian Ni must have had his reasons for doing this!

And the scene before her, one that left Meng Yiran shaken, was the answer!

By Star Lake, one man and one ape were locked in battle!

No! Qian Ni was suppressing the Titan Giant Ape unilaterally!

His body seemed to split into several figures, attacking the Titan Giant Ape from different directions!

This wasn't a soul skill! It was extreme speed!

His high-speed shifts and movements made him seem like he had created clones.

But every Qian Ni was the real body!

Every punch and kick carried the power to shatter mountains and split seas!

How could this human possibly...

His body is actually stronger than mine, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape!

Er Ming was kicked into the air by Qian Ni from below.

The Titan Giant Ape's more-than-ten-meter-tall body seemed to be made of foam. It was sent flying just like that!

In a flash, Qian Ni appeared above Er Ming's head and slammed down with both fists clasped together!

Amid a sonic boom, Er Ming became a cannonball and crashed straight into the ground!

The overwhelming force made Er Ming suffer beyond measure from the beating!

It simply couldn't understand what kind of thing this Soul Master fighting it was.

He hadn't used any of those lousy soul skills from before.

Instead, he was fighting with his fists and feet!

It had no time to deal with the injury behind it! Even if it did, it couldn't crush it into fragments and expel it from its body as it had done with the Whale Bone Spear.

Because the Alien was a living creature!

And the command Qian Ni had given this poor Alien was: stay inside this monkey's warm-hearted passage!

Thus, the Alien struggled to its heart's content. It fully exploited its savage bone spurs and body structure, even damaging its own body to release acid blood, all to root itself inside the Titan Giant Ape's ruptured backside! Only its long tail remained outside the Titan Giant Ape's body.

It! The tailless Titan Giant Ape had actually acquired a tail later in life!

Er Ming could only endure ultimate pain and humiliation! It dragged the Alien's long tail behind it while fighting Qian Ni!

But Qian Ni before and after forming Entwined Branches was a Soul Master on completely different levels!

Before forming Entwined Branches, his first three soul skills had limited effect on the Titan Giant Ape.

After forming Entwined Branches, with his Soul Power reduced to zero, the enhancement to Qian Ni's body was more than tenfold!

Not only his physical strength, but also the sharpness of his senses, his absolute microscopic control over his body, and even his vague sixth sense were all pushed to their limits by the passive restriction of [Heavenly Tyrant]!

Qian Ni's body had already surpassed the peak of human Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent after being transformed by Ultimate Power and tempered by deep-sea water pressure!

Now, after being enhanced by Heavenly Tyrant, he far surpassed even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape!

Most importantly, Qian Ni discovered that the Entwined Branches ability of the Twin-Winged Bird had no effect whatsoever on his Ultimate Power.

Yet the bodily perception brought by Heavenly Tyrant's enhancement extended to Ultimate Power as well!

Qian Ni's body had reached a critical point. He stood before the door to Ultimate Power, yet a gate still separated him from it, one he could never push open.

Even though his transformation time had already reached ten minutes, he still couldn't take another step toward mastering Ultimate Power.

But after Heavenly Tyrant abandoned Soul Power, its enhancement of the flesh extended to the spirit.

Body and spirit weren't relatively independent; they influenced each other.

There was no meaning in debating whether matter or spirit came first on the Douluo Continent.

Either was possible. That was the answer.

Perhaps all paths would converge in the end.

In the state of Tyrant Qian Ni, Qian Ni's spirit quietly crossed that boundary.

Ultimate Power, which normally required deliberate initiative to circulate, unexpectedly revealed more and deeper details he had never noticed before.

This was the change brought about by pouring all potential into the body! Into the brain!

It reminded him of a saying: if one could observe it, one could interfere with it; if one could interfere with it, one could control it.

At once, Qian Ni felt as though he had attained enlightenment, his heart filled with joy and delight.

The door that had trapped Qian Ni for six years finally opened a crack for him!

His understanding and mastery of Ultimate Power silently rose another level!

It was an indescribable emotion.

Nothing could be more profound and mysterious than this.

A subtle change occurred in his every movement.

He was still just as fast!

He still possessed overwhelming strength!

But Qian Ni's posture at this moment was completely different from a moment ago!

Elegant! Relaxed! Strolling through a garden!

He and the Titan Giant Ape looked as though they had agreed beforehand to perform a fight scene together!

Every counterattack by the Titan Giant Ape came a moment after Qian Ni had stepped away!

Every one of its evasions actively sent its vital points into Qian Ni's fists!

It looked like a staged match!

But that was the truth!

The longer the Titan Giant Ape fought, the more stifled it felt! The longer it fought, the more terrified it became! The longer it fought, the more powerless it felt, as though sinking into the deep sea!

"Monkey! Don't you understand yet?"

Qian Ni dodged Er Ming's massive descending fist.

No!

The scene looked more like Er Ming had directly smashed his fist into the grass behind Qian Ni!

And Qian Ni? He even had time to turn his face aside, letting the incoming gale lift the curls at his temples before smoothing them back with a hand in elegant fashion.

His entire body seemed to be covered by the perfect-dodge filter from an action game protagonist.

"Struggling is meaningless!

"You, and that little snake in the water, are no longer in the same dimension as me!"

Qian Ni lightly leaped into the sky, upside down with his head below and feet above, facing the Titan Giant Ape.

His face held nothing but pure joy!

Everything happening now made him feel incomparably refreshed!

"I've already grasped it! The core of Ultimate Power!"

Qian Ni extended a hand and, with incomparable naturalness, flicked a finger toward Er Ming's brow.

Thud!

A muffled sound!

A sonic boom!

The Titan Giant Ape's huge body instantly flew backward!

It streaked over Star Lake and landed amid the forest on the other side!

Boom—

Countless giant trees were destroyed once more.

Qian Ni hung upside down, one hand pointing to the heavens and the other to the earth.

"Above and below heaven, I alone am supreme!"

Ripples spread across Star Lake below. A giant bull-headed serpent with two horns emerged from the water.

Between the horns on its head, a tiny sphere of lightning silently condensed as it faced Qian Ni in the sky.

Qian Ni pointed with one hand.

He was clearly in his human form!

Yet Microscopic Particle Manipulation moved as freely as his will.

Instantly generated plasma erupted from his fingertip.

A crimson line flashed from the tip of the left horn, and Supernatural Flame erupted! Everything along that line was annihilated!

Unimaginable heat and terrifying energy reactions were all confined by Qian Ni within that line crossing Star Lake, no more than half a meter in diameter.

The lake's surface split apart! Earth and stone melted and scorched!

Even the surrounding grassland was instantly dehydrated, withered, and ignited.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's left horn vanished without a trace from its root upward. The cross-section was like a pitch-black yet incomparably smooth mirror!

The Sky Azure Bull Python remained motionless in the lake, not daring to move at all!

Qian Ni vanished, taking Meng Yiran with him.

Only the words he left behind were deeply branded into the Sky Azure Bull Python's mind.

"Next time we meet, try to bring me more fun.

"At the very least... find more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

"Otherwise, I won't even have the interest to play!"

Only then did the Titan Giant Ape Er Ming crawl out miserably from the shattered tree trunks, dirt, rocks, and fallen leaves.

It couldn't understand. Its face was filled with terror.

He's clearly only a Soul Ancestor! Why did things turn out like this!

And Da Ming! Why did you only watch? Have even you betrayed us?!

It looked toward Star Lake in grief and fury.

Before its eyes were only scorched grasslands, Star Lake evaporated into clouds of mist, and...

The Sky Azure Bull Python, with only one horn left, standing motionless in the lake.

"Human! Who exactly... are you?!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python threw back its head and roared toward the direction in which Qian Ni had vanished.

From afar, a wind thick with killing intent carried back the answer.

"A passing transmigrator.

"Whether you're Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts or transformed forms, use all your strength and entertain me to your heart's content.

"Your future has already been decided!"

The frigid killing intent echoed over Star Lake along with the voice.

In the Sky Azure Bull Python's eyes, the world shook violently at that moment, as though it would collapse beneath the killing intent!

"I am Qian Ni, the ultimate darkness of this world. My words cannot be defied!"

The Star Dou Forest was branded forever by the Tyrant.
