A deal? Tang Xuan was thoroughly puzzled by what he heard. "What deal?" he asked.
Lei En stepped forward and said, "Your soul power has already reached rank fifty-nine. You will need a soul ring soon, and judging by your fifth soul ring, your sixth must be a precious soul ring at least a hundred thousand years old."
"I can sacrifice myself to you, helping you break straight through to rank sixty and becoming your sixth soul ring. With my cultivation, I would hardly be beneath you."
Tang Xuan was stunned. Lei En actually wanted to sacrifice himself to him? What kind of plot was this?
Tang Hao and Ah Yin were also astonished. Both of them knew full well what sacrifice entailed.
"Senior Lei En, why would you sacrifice yourself to me? Or rather, why would you choose to sacrifice yourself when you're perfectly fine?" Tang Xuan asked, his heart brimming with questions.
"My cultivation has already reached the peak of two hundred and ninety thousand years. If I keep cultivating, I will soon face my third tribulation." Lei En looked at Tang Xuan.
He continued, "Your mother took human form as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Given that and your own knowledge, you should know something about soul beasts undergoing tribulations, so I will spare you the details."
"For a soul beast, undergoing a tribulation is extraordinarily dangerous. I owe much of my safe passage through the first two tribulations to Lord Thunder God's protection." As he spoke, Lei En looked toward the Thunder God.
"But I have no confidence whatsoever in surviving the third tribulation. If I force myself to face it, I fear I will only be reduced to ash beneath it, with hundreds of thousands of years of cultivation going up in flames." Lei En sighed.
