"It's best to deal a crippling blow before it can react. Don't give it a chance to use the Life-and-Death Arena."
Qian Daoliu nodded, his gaze falling on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the distance.
"Jiuyou, can you withstand its power? This soul beast is far stronger than an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
"Grand Priest, have you forgotten what the Asura Demon Sword does every time I absorb a soul ring?"
Qian Daoliu paused slightly before understanding dawned on him.
Luo Jiuyou absorbed soul rings differently from ordinary people. The Asura Demon Sword would draw the soul beast's blood and wrap him in a crimson cocoon. It was precisely this method that allowed him to continuously break through the limits of soul ring age.
Qian Daoliu no longer hesitated. "Alright."
The instant he spoke, a massive Six-Winged Angel phantom appeared behind him. Eight black soul rings and one red soul ring slowly pulsed beneath him.
A terrifying aura spread outward, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
As a level 99 Peerless Douluo unleashed his full pressure, the entire sky was shrouded in holy light.
Several miles away, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suddenly let out an enraged roar. Its crimson eyes contracted sharply as it spread its wings and tried to flee.
It was not stupid. Facing a level 99 Peerless Douluo radiating such terrifying holy power, trying to stand its ground would be courting death.
In an instant,
the power of wind and lightning exploded across its wings. Its body turned into a streak of black-and-cyan lightning as it shot into the distance, moving so fast that it was nearly impossible to follow with the naked eye.
However, once a level 99 Peerless Douluo made a move, there was no way it could escape.
A streak of golden light tore through the sky. The enormous angel phantom descended abruptly, wielding a massive Angel Sword.
Angel Avatar.
Dazzling holy sword light crashed down ahead, precisely slashing across the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's path.
"Pfft!"
The sound of the blade entering flesh rang out as the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's massive body was violently blasted away, blood scattering across the ground.
Angel holy power surged into its body like a flood, suppressing its darkness and evil attributes layer by layer.
Streams of holy light transformed into chains, firmly binding it to the ground.
That single strike had already left the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger on the verge of death.
Qian Daoliu immediately threw a punch, striking it squarely on the head.
With a thunderous boom, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger completely passed out, no longer capable of resisting.
Qian Daoliu lifted its enormous body, returned to Luo Jiuyou, and casually tossed it onto the ground.
"Grandpa is amazing!" Qian Renxue's eyes sparkled as she looked at Qian Daoliu, who was surrounded by golden light, her face full of admiration.
Bibi Dong and Ye Guyi were equally stunned.
Bibi Dong stared blankly at those angel wings.
He can fly. That's so cool.
But she suddenly realized a cruel fact: among everyone present, she seemed to be the only one who could not fly.
She counted on her fingers.
Her two junior sisters had Angel Martial Souls, while her junior brother had Demon Dragon Wings...
She felt like the whole world was targeting her.
Wuwu...
Qian Daoliu withdrew his Angel Avatar and landed on the ground. "Go on."
Luo Jiuyou stepped forward. "Grand Priest, there is an Evil God Orb inside its body."
"After I kill it, that orb may tear through space and flee with its final wisp of consciousness. Could you help me stop it?"
Qian Daoliu nodded slightly.
Luo Jiuyou no longer hesitated. Holding the Asura Demon Sword, he drove it directly into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's skull.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's enormous body jolted violently as its life force rapidly collapsed.
At the instant of death, a fist-sized black orb suddenly shot out of its body, trailing a dark streak as it attempted to escape into the void.
Qian Daoliu raised a hand and grabbed. Holy power transformed into a giant golden hand that firmly clenched the black streak of light.
After the orb was sealed, its true appearance was revealed.
It was pitch-black throughout, with dark purple evil patterns flowing across its surface. A vortex faintly spun at its center, radiating intense malice and resentment.
"This should be this soul beast's natal orb."
"Yes, Grand Priest." Luo Jiuyou nodded. "It contains all of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's innate abilities and skills—the six attributes, Life-and-Death Arena, Devour, wind and lightning evil power..."
Only after Qian Daoliu used holy power to completely destroy the remnant soul inside the orb did he hand it over.
"The remnant soul has been removed. The resentment within the soul ring will also be greatly reduced, making it more suitable for you to absorb them together."
Luo Jiuyou thanked him, accepted the natal orb, and sat cross-legged to begin absorbing it.
The Asura Demon Sword drew the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's blood, turning it into layers of crimson energy that wrapped around Luo Jiuyou and formed another blood-red cocoon.
A fierce, baleful aura circulated endlessly within it as surging power battered his physique.
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Ye Guyi nervously watched the blood cocoon, sensing the fluctuations of the aura within.
After waiting for a long time, Bibi Dong became restless again and reached out to poke Qian Renxue's cheek.
Qian Renxue irritably slapped her hand away. "Senior Sister, what are you doing now?"
Bibi Dong suddenly became serious. "Second Junior Sister... don't you think Junior Brother's blood absorption and bloodletting attacks, with doubled damage, make him look a lot like a Fallen Soul Master?"
"You have a Six-Winged Angel. Do you want to judge him?"
Ye Guyi froze for a moment. Remembering how Qian Renxue had frightened Bibi Dong when the latter absorbed a Soul Bone earlier, she could not help bursting into laughter.
"That's right, Second Senior Sister. Junior Brother really does look like a Fallen Soul Master. What are you planning to do?"
Qian Renxue was left speechless. After struggling with it for a while, she realized there was indeed no arguing against how Junior Brother looked.
Absorbing blood and making enemies bleed through his attacks—on the surface, those were completely typical Fallen Soul Master behaviors.
Qian Daoliu's voice sounded at just the right moment. "Power itself is neither good nor evil. Only the person who wields it can be."
"If one loses their mind, indulges in slaughter, and betrays their true heart, that is what it means to fall."
"If he possessed pure angel power yet committed evil deeds, then he would also be a Fallen Soul Master."
The three girls fell silent at once, deep in thought.
Power was neither good nor evil. It only depended on the person using it.
Those words fell into their hearts like seeds.
Qian Daoliu watched the aura churning inside the blood-red cocoon, a trace of worry passing through his brows.
This child was advancing too quickly—quickly enough to make anyone uneasy.
He worried that Luo Jiuyou would become like those Fallen Soul Masters, losing himself in the thrill of seizing power.
It seemed he needed to find an opportunity to let him settle down and steady his heart.
Two hours later, the blood-red cocoon, which had shown no movement all this time, suddenly exploded.
The first thing revealed was a pair of pitch-black Demon Dragon Wings, even larger than before, their span extending several meters.
Wind, lightning, darkness, time, space, and power fluctuations spread around them.
The wings that had once been dark red had now completely turned pure black, ferocious and imposing.
"Junior Brother!"
The three girls hurriedly surrounded him. "How is it? What level are you now? What about your soul skills?"
Luo Jiuyou stood up and sensed the power within his body.
"My Soul Power is level 48. Most of the energy flowed into my External Soul Bone and triggered its evolution."
Qian Renxue's mouth twitched. She was only level 26 even now, while Junior Brother had nearly reached twice her level after just one trip out.
"My External Soul Bone gained another soul skill—Return to Heaven and Sun."
"It records one of my own states. When activated, no matter what condition I'm in, I can instantly return to the peak state that was recorded."
"The cooldown is half an hour, and consuming Soul Power can shorten it."
"My soul ring skill is—Rage Explosion."
"It forms a blood array within a radius of several meters, then the blood energy detonates."
"The enemy first suffers the initial shockwave and is forcibly launched into the air. Then four waves of blood energy rageflames erupt. Anyone at the center of the explosion takes all ten instances of damage."
"Damage is doubled against bleeding targets. When charging with blood energy, the range doubles and the damage doubles. The range doubles again for every soul ring I obtain."
"After fusing with the Evil God Orb, I obtained all of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's skills—Life-and-Death Arena, Dark Demon Evil God Strike, Devour, Evil Wind Blade, Dark Demon Evil Lightning, and Evil God Spike."
Everyone present listened to that long list of soul skills, like he was reciting a menu, and completely lost it.
No, why did he always get such a huge pile of soul skills every time?
Especially that External Soul Bone skill—how could it even reset his state with a time attribute?
"So..." Bibi Dong swallowed with difficulty. "Junior Brother, are you saying that when you fight someone in the future, you can ignore all injuries and return to peak condition every half hour?"
Luo Jiuyou nodded.
Bibi Dong and Ye Guyi's jaws nearly dropped.
Qian Renxue remained silent for a long while.
"Even if you were missing arms and legs and barely clinging to life, one soul skill could restore you to peak condition... who would still fight you?"
Qian Daoliu looked at the Angel Holy Sword in his hand, then at his own Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and suddenly felt an indescribably complicated emotion.
They were both God-Level Martial Souls, so why was the difference so enormous?
He had reached his current position through relentless cultivation spanning thousands of days, yet this boy had only been out for a few days and already possessed soul skills this absurd.
At this rate, after gaining a few more soul rings, he might truly be able to trade blows with him.
Bibi Dong used a hand to push her jaw back into place, her face full of shock. "Junior Brother, you're way too monstrous..."
She suddenly said eagerly, "Whoever dares fight Junior Brother in the future will definitely start questioning their life!"
"That's right, that's right."
Qian Renxue and Ye Guyi nodded their little heads as well.
"This is way too ridiculous!!!"
