This Isn't the Beasts' Problem! It's a Human Problem!

"Seventy thousand years..."

Jiang Mo and Qianjun had already gone numb. They had finally been able to move after waiting with great difficulty for the unicorn's sacrifice to finish, only for another seventy-thousand-year soul beast to fly down from the sky!

A seventy-thousand-year Blazing Light Golden Flame Eagle!

It gave them no time to react. The moment it arrived, it dove straight at Qian Renxue, then fanatically sacrificed all of its cultivation to her!

Qian Renxue felt the soul power within her boil once more and looked at the Blazing Light Golden Flame Eagle offering itself before her. Her little head was buzzing.

Another sacrifice!

Heavenly Dao was simply too kind, wasn't he?!

Right at the start, he sent two ten-thousand-year soul beasts to sacrifice themselves!

One was fifty thousand years old, and the other was seventy thousand!

Such lavish gifts had left her completely dizzy!

Amazing. This felt absolutely amazing!

Heavenly Dao was simply a good person!

The greatest good person in the world!

She had actually doubted Heavenly Dao before. She had truly judged a gentleman's heart with the mind of a petty person!

From now on, she would be Heavenly Dao's most loyal little angel!

Qian Renxue happily enjoyed the sacrifice of the seventy-thousand-year soul beast before her, delight filling her heart.

Once the seventy-thousand-year Blazing Light Golden Flame Eagle finished its sacrifice, Qian Renxue's soul power leaped from level twenty straight to level twenty-nine!

Level twenty-nine in a single day!

Whose entire lifetime was that?

That was Grandmaster's entire lifetime!

"Phew!"

Qianjun and Jiang Mo let out long breaths. Finally! They were finally free!

Heaven knew how powerless the two level ninety-five Title Douluo had felt while their entire bodies were restrained!

Ever since becoming Title Douluo, neither of them had ever been controlled for such a long time!

"Uncle Qianjun, Uncle Jiang Mo! Look, these are my two soul rings!"

Qian Renxue happily displayed her soul rings to them.

Two black ten-thousand-year soul rings appeared. One was somewhat lighter in color, with only a faint red mark around its edge that would be impossible to notice without close inspection. This was the soul ring belonging to the Holy Light Unicorn.

The other was pitch-black, crisscrossed with streaks of red. Unlike the nearly invisible red mark on the unicorn's soul ring, these red streaks occupied a considerable portion of this seventy-thousand-year soul ring!

Once the soul rings were revealed, anyone who was not blind could see them!

When Qianjun and Jiang Mo saw Qian Renxue's two unusual soul rings, their gazes immediately fell upon that glaring red color. Their voices carried disbelief. "Red! The soul rings of two ten-thousand-year soul beasts actually have red on them!"

"If I remember correctly, the two soul beasts were a fifty-thousand-year Holy Light Unicorn and a seventy-thousand-year Blazing Light Golden Flame Eagle, right?"

Qianjun and Jiang Mo could not understand it. The two soul beasts were only seventy thousand years old at most, not even ninety thousand. What gave their soul rings the right to display red?

According to Spirit Hall's records, red appearing on a ten-thousand-year soul ring meant that the soul beast which produced it had cultivated for at least ninety-nine thousand years!

Only such powerful beings on the verge of becoming hundred-thousand-year soul beasts had a slight chance of producing that trace of red, representing that they had reached the limit of ten-thousand-year soul beasts!

Red on the soul rings of fifty-thousand-year and seventy-thousand-year soul beasts was simply unheard of!

But when they remembered that the two soul rings had come from sacrifices, Qianjun and Jiang Mo quickly accepted it.

After all, how could two ten-thousand-year soul rings with traces of red compare to ten-thousand-year soul beast sacrifices?

This was far too outrageous!

Ten-thousand-year soul beasts sacrificing themselves—and two in a row!

Since records began on Douluo Continent, nothing like this had ever happened!

What right did mere ten-thousand-year soul beasts have to sacrifice themselves?

Sacrifice was the privilege of hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, damn it!

"Xiaoxue, tell Uncle Qianjun. When you awakened your martial soul, did anything else happen? Did any unusual phenomena appear?" Qianjun asked impatiently.

However, he quickly realized how stupid his question was. When Qian Renxue had awakened her martial soul, Qian Daoliu had never intended to keep it from anyone.

She had awakened her martial soul under the witness of numerous elders and worshippers!

How could he not know whether anything else had happened?

"Uncle Qianjun, if Xiaoxue remembers correctly, you and Uncle Jiang Mo were both watching when I awakened my martial soul!"

Having obtained two sacrificial soul rings, Qian Renxue was in an exceptionally good mood. Even her words to Qianjun carried a hint of teasing.

"Uh..." Qianjun scratched his head awkwardly.

"Move aside, I'll ask! You can't even ask a question properly!"

Jiang Mo Douluo shot Qianjun an annoyed look, then turned toward Qian Renxue with a broad smile. "Little Xuexue, tell Uncle Jiang Mo. Were these two soul beasts that sacrificed themselves prepared for you by Lord Angel God?"

"Lord Angel God?" Confusion filled Qian Renxue's eyes. Hadn't Lord Angel God already died? Weren't the two soul beasts gifts from Heavenly Dao?

"No?"

Qianjun and Jiang Mo were both extremely shrewd!

From Qian Renxue's tone and subtle expression alone, they could tell that she was genuinely confused. She had not encountered Angel God as they had imagined.

Could it be that Angel God had not done this?

But if Angel God had not sent these two soul beasts, then who had?

Who else could make two ten-thousand-year soul beasts willingly complete a sacrifice?

Both Qianjun and Jiang Mo had undergone Angel God Trials, and they both understood Angel God's divine power!

That was a power capable of easily increasing the age of others' soul rings and bestowing soul rings upon them!

If Angel God had been behind the ten-thousand-year soul beast sacrifices, the two of them would have found it very easy to understand and accept!

But if not...

"Buzz!"

An invisible ripple spread through the surroundings. Qianjun, Jiang Mo, and Qian Renxue looked up, only to see a soul beast rapidly rushing toward them!

"Another one..."

Qianjun and Jiang Mo watched the ninety-thousand-year soul beast hurrying toward them...

"?"

"?"

"?"

The moment the three of them saw that soul beast, they were utterly dumbfounded!

What was that?

A plant-type soul beast?

They saw a lotus as tall as a person, with golden roots and crimson-gold lotus leaves, using its roots as legs as it walked toward the three of them, one step shallow and one step deep.

After reaching them, the crimson-gold lotus lowered its flower head, confirmed Qian Renxue's identity, and immediately began to sacrifice itself!

However, it first forcibly raised Qian Renxue's soul power from level twenty-nine to level thirty before beginning to condense a soul ring.

Its roots were gold, and its leaves were crimson, carrying the powers of earth and radiance respectively!

This was the ninety-thousand-year plant-type soul beast, the Grand Radiant Golden Lotus!

Qianjun and Jiang Mo exchanged a glance. "The Star Great Forest actually has such a rare plant-type soul beast?"

Even Spirit Hall had very few records of soul beasts that fed upon the power of earth and radiance.

According to the records left behind by their predecessors, the highest cultivation ever discovered among these rare and powerful soul beasts had only been thirty thousand years!

Who could have imagined that the Star Great Forest concealed a ninety-thousand-year one?

"Gulp!"

Hidden in the shadows, the Azure Sky Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and Xiao Wu sitting on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder all swallowed hard when they saw the Grand Radiant Golden Lotus suddenly appear and then suddenly sacrifice itself.

"B-Big Brother, can a ninety-thousand-year soul beast sacrifice itself too?"

Er Ming, who usually stuttered, was no longer stuttering. It even doubted its own eyes!

A ninety-thousand-year soul beast had sacrificed itself, and it had done so for a human little girl at the level of a Grand Soul Master.

If someone had told it this before, it would have slapped them across the face!

But now...

"Probably not..." Da Ming replied uncertainly.

According to the memories in their bloodline, anything below a hundred thousand years absolutely could not sacrifice itself! Nor could it possibly complete a sacrifice!

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast did not even have the qualifications to sacrifice itself if it wanted to!

But if the memories in their bloodline were true, then what exactly was happening before them?

A ninety-thousand-year soul beast sacrificing itself was fucking terrifying!

"Er Ming, is the Grand Radiant Golden Lotus really ninety thousand years old? Could it have reached a hundred thousand years long ago?" Xiao Wu asked hesitantly.

"No!" Er Ming said decisively. "I fought it just last year. At that time, it had only just advanced to ninety thousand years. How could it jump straight to a hundred thousand after only one year?"

"Besides, it's sacrificing itself right now. Its aura is completely exposed. It is a genuine ninety-thousand-year soul beast!"

"A ninety-thousand-year soul beast sacrifice..."

Faced with this earth-shattering scene, the rabbit and the two beasts fell silent for a while.

They were not humans. Humans might have attributed something like this to a miracle or a god!

But they would not. The memories in their bloodlines clearly told them that anything below a hundred thousand years absolutely lacked the qualifications to sacrifice itself!

This involved the laws between heaven and earth!

Yet a soul beast before them had broken that law!

"Da Ming, Er Ming, could the two sacrifices we sensed before coming here have been..."

Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu all looked toward the recipient of the sacrifices—Qian Renxue.

No way, right?

Those earlier two sacrifices could not have come from soul beasts below a hundred thousand years too, could they? And all three sacrifices had been for the same person?

What had she done to deserve this?

Remembering those two weak sacrificial auras, the rabbit and the two beasts felt their hearts twitch.

This was probably not a beast problem!

This was a human problem!

They looked at Qian Renxue, feeling as though the girl were veiled in mystery!

"Da Ming, should we leave?"

"..."

Da Ming was somewhat speechless. "A sacrifice restrains everything around it. Did you forget? Try moving now. Can you even leave?"

"..." Er Ming fell silent.

A mere ninety-thousand-year soul beast's sacrifice could actually restrain two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts like them?

Damn it!

This was completely backwards!
