Sacrifice! Sacrifice! Sacrifice!

"Unicorn, unicorn, don't cry~"

After Qianjun and Jiang Mo laid layer upon layer of soul power seals on the unicorn, Qian Renxue skipped over to its side.

Seeing Qian Renxue approaching, the Holy Light Unicorn immediately changed from its earlier listless state after being sealed to one of renewed radiance!

It stepped forward on its noble hooves and came before Qian Renxue, its eyes filled with undisguised fervor!

Neigh!

A long, melodious cry displayed its inner excitement!

Then, it lowered its proud head and revealed its horn before Qian Renxue without reservation!

Qian Renxue seemed to understand what the Holy Light Unicorn meant. Blinking her large, confused eyes, she gently extended her soft, fair little hand toward the horn!

Boom!

The instant the two touched, the seals Qianjun and Jiang Mo had placed within its body were crushed directly by the unicorn's soul power with overwhelming force!

The aura of a fifty-thousand-year soul beast burst forth without restraint at that moment!

"Not good!"

Qianjun and Jiang Mo's eyes nearly split with rage!

Facing the pressure of a fifty-thousand-year soul beast head-on, how could Qian Renxue, a little girl who was not even a soul master, possibly withstand it?!

Damn it!

How had they trusted that soul beast?!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

They now wished they could skin and dismember the soul beast before them to vent the hatred in their hearts...

"Something's wrong!"

Qianjun's gaze sharpened. Why could he not move?

The soul power in his body, along with his body itself, seemed to have been bound by some restraint, leaving him utterly unable to move!

To seal a level ninety-five Title Douluo like him, how could a mere fifty-thousand-year soul beast possibly do that?!

Buzz!

Golden light laced with threads of blood-red rose from the Holy Light Unicorn's body!

A sacred aura spread wildly outward with Qian Renxue and the unicorn at its center, imprisoning every living creature within a hundred-meter radius!

Standing at the center, Qian Renxue's finger still rested on the unicorn's horn. Looking at the sacred unicorn wrapped in gold and crimson before her, she could hardly believe what she was experiencing!

As the granddaughter of the Grand Worshipper, the daughter of the previous Pope, and the "daughter" of the current Pope!

Qian Renxue naturally knew some secret matters. She knew perfectly well what she was experiencing right now!

But how was this possible?

Sacrifice!

"A fifty-thousand-year soul beast's sacrifice! How is that possible? How could a fifty-thousand-year soul beast possibly sacrifice itself?"

Qianjun swallowed deeply. At this moment, he was just like the weak Qian Renxue—equally unable to believe what was happening before his eyes!

A fifty-thousand-year soul beast!

Sacrifice!

How could those two words possibly go together? How could they possibly be connected?

How could a fifty-thousand-year soul beast sacrifice itself!

How could it sacrifice itself for a little girl it had never even met!

No!

What right did it have to sacrifice itself?

Wasn't sacrifice exclusive to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts?

"Yeah! How could a fifty-thousand-year soul beast possibly sacrifice itself..."

Jiang Mo stared blankly, unable to believe what was happening before him!

It was too surreal!

Could it really be the Angel God's protection? Jiang Mo could not help thinking.

Amid the deathly silence, under the watchful eyes of Qianjun and Jiang Mo.

Qian Renxue's golden hair fluttered in the air as vast soul power poured from the Holy Light Unicorn's body, continuously flowing into the Angel Martial Soul behind her!

A phantom black soul ring tinged with a trace of blood-red slowly condensed above the Martial Soul!

She looked at the Holy Light Unicorn before her, now completely covered in crimson, and her lips moved slightly.

"Thank you."

"Neigh!"

The Holy Light Unicorn let out the final long cry of its life, pouring every last trace of soul power from its body into the soul ring that was about to take shape!

Deep within the Star Great Forest.

A pair of enormous bovine eyes slowly opened. Its gaze extended from the depths of Life Lake toward the outskirts of the Star Great Forest, toward where Qian Renxue was.

"Sacrifice?"

A trace of unease welled up in his heart. "Er Ming, Sister Xiao Wu, are you still there?"

Hearing Da Ming's call, Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape, swiftly ran out of the forest. Seeing Da Ming, who had just emerged, he stammered as he asked:

"Roar! Da... Da Ming, wh... what's wrong?"

"Da Ming, Er Ming, what happened?" A little girl skipped over.

"?"

Seeing the little girl, Er Ming froze. Why was there a human here?

However, after sensing the aura on her body, he asked uncertainly, "Y... you're Sis... Sister Xiao Wu?"

"You idiot, Er Ming. I've only been gone for a short while, and you already don't recognize Sister Xiao Wu?" Xiao Wu glared at Er Ming angrily.

"Sister Xiao Wu, did you successfully take human form?" Da Ming's tone was filled with uncertainty and surprise.

"That's right!" A sweet smile appeared on Xiao Wu's face. "I've successfully taken human form, but my Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul will need a few more years to fully condense. So I'll still have to wait a few years before entering human society. I can use that time to get used to my new identity!"

"Sister Xiao Wu, human society is very dangerous!"

Hearing Xiao Wu say that she wanted to leave the Star Great Forest and enter human society, Er Ming immediately became anxious, and his stutter vanished.

Xiao Wu smiled and said, "Even if it's dangerous, I still have to go! After all, Mother was killed by humans."

"Sister Xiao Wu..."

"Enough, Er Ming! Stop trying to persuade me. I've already taken human form! There's no turning back now!"

Xiao Wu turned to Da Ming. "Da Ming, did you call Er Ming and me here because something happened in the Star Great Forest?"

"That's right."

Da Ming nodded his enormous head, his gaze somewhat complicated as he looked at Xiao Wu.

He had not expected Xiao Wu to truly take human form, but unlike Er Ming, he did not try to stop her from entering human society.

Because just as Xiao Wu had said, she had already successfully taken human form! It was too late to say anything now!

Once her Martial Soul had fully condensed, if Xiao Wu wanted revenge and wanted to grow stronger, she could only go to human society.

I only hope Sister Xiao Wu isn't discovered by humans before entering the mature stage, Da Ming silently thought.

Setting aside his thoughts, Da Ming looked beyond the Star Great Forest. "I just sensed the aura of a sacrifice from the outskirts of the Star Great Forest. Aside from confirming your safety, I also wanted to ask whether you had any information about other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."

"Sacrifice?"

Hearing Da Ming's words, Xiao Wu and Er Ming froze, their expressions immediately turning solemn!

Xiao Wu asked gravely, "Er Ming, are there other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts in the Star Great Forest besides the three of us?"

"N... no!" Er Ming looked at Xiao Wu and stammered, "I... I've traveled all over the... Star Great Forest. Aside from... aside from a few ninety-thousand-year... soul beasts, there are no other... hundred-thousand-year soul beasts."

"That's strange."

Xiao Wu still believed Er Ming's words. As the most combative of the three soul beasts, Er Ming had practically fought his way through the entire Star Great Forest as he grew!

Da Ming and she might have overlooked other hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, but Er Ming...

"Wait!"

Xiao Wu suddenly realized something and looked at Da Ming. "If it really was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast sacrificing itself, the energy released by the sacrifice should have been impossible for us to miss, right? Why was Da Ming the only one who noticed? Er Ming, did you sense it?"

"No, Sister Xiao Wu." Er Ming shook his head.

The aura of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast's sacrifice was so distinctive, so earth-shattering. It was a memory deeply engraved in the bloodline of their soul beast race!

If such a thing had really happened, how could Da Ming have been the only one to know?

Even if she had become human and might not be able to sense it, Er Ming had not become human!

"I did sense a trace of a sacrifice's aura, but it was different from what is recorded in our bloodline. This power was somewhat... far too weak..."

After hearing Xiao Wu's words, Da Ming also noticed that something was wrong.

That was right!

The disturbance caused by a sacrifice could not possibly be sensed by only one soul beast!

"Er Ming, did you really not sense even the slightest aura of a sacrifice?"

"No, Sister Xiao Wu."

"Then that's strange. Da Ming, could it be that you..."

Buzz!

Da Ming and Er Ming simultaneously looked toward the outskirts of the Star Great Forest.

"The aura of sacrifice..."
