"Lord, that little fellow is only at level twenty now, and you are letting him absorb a three-thousand-year Soul Beast? Can he truly withstand the backlash?"
Di Tian looked extremely displeased at how Meng Chen shook his rabbit ears and acted coquettishly.
Yet, deep inside, he knew that the other was the reincarnation of the Golden Dragon King.
The origin power of the Dragon Clan could not be lost, and if any mishap occurred, it would become the laughingstock of the Divine Realm.
Gu Yuena glanced at him faintly. "His body is far more powerful than you think. Since he wants the space attribute, then go find one for him."
"Understood."
Di Tian bowed and accepted the order.
For the eight-hundred-thousand-year Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, catching a three-thousand-year Void Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest was no different from picking a leaf from his own backyard.
The words had barely fallen when Di Tian already vanished without a trace.
Gu Yuena still stood in the depths of the void, her pair of eyes piercing through layers of space to look down at the figure in the forest bearing golden long ears.
For some reason, whenever she saw that little fellow flash a flattering smile at Qian Renxue.
The nameless fire burning at the bottom of her heart was somewhat difficult to suppress.
Down in the dense forest, however, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
Qian Renxue had already spoken big words, yet she really led the group to search around the outer perimeter in circles for two whole hours.
Seeing the sun gradually tilt westward, aside from startling a few rather bold colorful cats and a few Hundred-Year Soul Beasts, they found no trace of any spatial fluctuations whatsoever.
Zhan Shan led the Royal Knights silently walking in the front, inwardly complaining endlessly.
Yet, seeing that Qian Renxue herself said nothing, naturally he found it embarrassing to speak up either.
However, watching the sky grow dark, Qian Renxue's pride was also starting to wear thin.
She was naturally proud and haughty, having boasted brashly before Meng Chen, but now that she came back empty-handed, her pretty face could not help feeling somewhat hot.
"Little rabbit!"
Qian Renxue bit her lower lip, slowed her pace, and walked over to Meng Chen's side, speaking with a somewhat guilty conscience.
"Are you certain you must have the space type?"
"The environment in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest is mixed, and space-type Soul Beasts have always been elusive. Searching like this, I'm afraid we won't even bump into one in three days and three nights. If this delays your schedule of returning to Heaven Dou City, wouldn't the losses outweigh the gains?"
Meng Chen naturally understood that space-type Soul Beasts were rare.
Seeing Qian Renxue find an out for herself, he did not plan to push too hard either, and was just about to go along with the flow and change his target.
Yet the next moment, behind the bushes about fifty meters ahead, a Soul Beast's aura abruptly appeared.
"Roar!"
Accompanied by a sharp and piercing strange cry, visible ripples of space began to distort like air scorched by a blazing sun.
Immediately afterward, a silver-gray phantom shadow was squeezed out of the void.
The crowd looked over one after another, only to see a bizarre Soul Beast seemingly appear out of thin air right there.
"A Void Beast? Is this the legendary Void Beast?"
The monster was born extremely strangely, its body length exceeding two meters, and its entire body covered in scales resembling shattered silver.
Its limbs were slender like blades, and its head was narrow and long like a wolf's.
Yet its face had no eyes, and its mouth looked even more like a continuously spinning vortex, unceasingly spewing and inhaling the surrounding Soul Power.
"Protect the young lord!"
Although Zhan Shan was deeply shocked, years of life-or-death battles made him instinctively react.
With a loud boom, a powerful wave of Soul Power surged out from his body.
The phantom of a fierce bear with fur as stern as steel rose behind Zhan Shan.
Two yellow, two purple, three black-a total of seven Soul Rings shone upon one another, and the pressure of a Soul Saint instantly swept across the entire forest land.
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Facing this kind of bizarre space-type Soul Beast.
Zhan Shan did not dare to be arrogant in the slightest, directly pulling out his trump card.
His figure swelled rapidly, and the next moment, he transformed into a shaking fierce bear standing over five meters tall.
A layer of hard, dark-yellow, rock-like shell appeared on his fur, and his two palms slammed heavily onto the ground like palm-leaf fans.
The violent shockwave shattered the incoming spatial blades in midair.
"Attack! Don't let this beast escape into the void!"
The deputy commander also let out a stern cry, his seven Soul Rings similarly appearing as his long spear transformed into a giant dragon, leaving streaks of spear images in the air.
Together with twelve elite Royal Knights, they quickly dispersed and sealed off all surrounding escape routes.
Qian Renxue's reaction was not slow either; she was stunned for a moment before immediately activating her Martial Soul Possession.
"Hmph, little rabbit, watch closely!"
"Big sister said she would find it for you, and she will never break her promise!"
The corners of Qian Renxue's mouth turned up, her figure flashing as she left an afterimage in place, and four Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet.
"First Soul Skill! Angel Assault!"
Under the blessing of the first Soul Skill, Qian Renxue punched out, golden Holy Light floating upon her fist tip.
"Break!!"
The Void Beast sensed the cleansing power brought by the Angel Martial Soul.
Coupled with the impending attacks of two Soul Saints, a strong sense of crisis made it want to dive back into the void to escape.
Yet Zhan Shan, who had finally seized the chance, how could he let it escape so easily?
"Want to run?"
"Fifth Soul Skill! Gravity Suppression!"
Zhan Shan, incarnated as a fierce bear, stamped the earth, and earth-yellow light of gravity spread wildly.
The space in the entire region instantly grew several times heavier, forcibly pulling the semi-ethereal body of the Void Beast out from the spatial ripples.
The deputy commander was equally swift, seizing the opportunity with a single leap to arrive above the Void Beast.
"Third Soul Skill! Piercing Dragon Break!"
Swish!
With a single thrust of his spear, he directly pinned the Void Beast to the ground.
Silver blood stained the earth, the Void Beast's slender limbs twitched continuously, and the spatial fluctuations on its body gradually dissipated.
All this sounded slow, but in reality it took only a dozen or so breaths.
Two Soul Saints above level seventy controlled the field with all their might, coupled with Qian Renxue's assistance.
Not to mention that there was someone in the void secretly helping, if they let this Soul Beast escape, they really might as well find a piece of tofu and crash their heads into it.
"Phew~"
Qian Renxue put away her Martial Soul, walked with her long legs to the dying Void Beast, turned around, and put her hands on her hips to look at Meng Chen.
"Little rabbit, how is it? Does this Void Beast still suit your fancy?"
Zhan Shan lifted his Martial Soul Avatar, his massive bear body rapidly shrinking back.
He took two or three steps to arrive in front of Meng Chen, hastily cupping his hands in obstruction. "Miss Qian, young lord, absolutely not!"
Qian Renxue slightly furrowed her brows, the smile on her face also fading a little.
"What, does Deputy Commander Zhan still have an objection?"
"This beast's bones are already shattered, and the thought of resisting is almost completely gone. This is precisely the prime time to obtain a Soul Ring."
Zhan Shan stamped his feet anxiously, cold sweat on his forehead streaming down his chin.
"Miss Qian, you are the pride of Spirit Hall. Could it be you don't know what the limit of absorbing a second Soul Ring is?"
"Even if the young lord has a special constitution and his first Soul Ring defied common sense to reach a thousand years, this Void Beast is a full three thousand years old! Even Soul Elders cannot absorb it."
"Not to mention it is still of the space attribute."
Zhan Shan turned around, crouched down, and tightly pressed his hands onto Meng Chen's slender shoulders.
"Young lord, the crown prince entrusted your safety to me, Zhan Shan, so I can never watch you gamble with your life."
The deputy commander and a crowd of Royal Knights also swarmed over.
If Meng Chen were to die and meet disaster right under their noses, then they would truly have to pay with their lives to atone for the sin.
