"Grandpas, my physical strength is no worse than an ordinary Titled Douluo's. Don't worry. I'm confident."
The six Consecrated Elders fell silent. The girl standing before them was clearly only level sixty, yet the aura she unleashed truly rivaled that of a Titled Douluo.
In particular, the powerful confidence in Qian Renxue's words left them unable to argue.
"Great Enshrined." Golden Crocodile Douluo's voice steadied. "Have you chosen the target soul beast?"
"Deep in Sunset Forest, there is a hundred-thousand-year Light Unicorn. Its pure light attribute is highly compatible with the Angel Martial Soul." Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue and asked again, "Xiao Xue, are you sure you can do this?"
Qian Renxue nodded. "Absolutely certain."
Deep in Sunset Forest.
The battle had already begun.
The seven Consecrated Elders spread out within a radius of five li, forming an airtight encirclement.
Qian Renxue had specifically asked to try first herself.
At that moment, she stood alone in the center of an open valley, eight wings spread behind her, their platinum light like a small sun.
A snow-white unicorn emerged from the depths of the dense forest.
It was several times larger than an ordinary horse. The horn on its head was a translucent gold, and holy radiance flowed around its body.
Its hundred thousand years of cultivation had given it considerable intelligence. It stared at the golden-haired girl before it, wariness in its golden eyes.
Qian Renxue did not wait for it to strike first.
She shifted her footing and activated Angel Saint Step, moving three feet sideways.
A light shock wave as thick as a bucket blasted from the unicorn's horn, blowing a charred hole in the mountainside.
Shattered stones flew, and a wave of heat struck her face.
Qian Renxue's long golden hair whipped wildly in the air currents, but there was not a trace of panic in her golden eyes.
The Divine Slaughter's Domain spread silently beneath her feet, its killing intent instantly enveloping the valley.
The light aura surrounding the unicorn was forcibly suppressed by thirty percent, and its movements visibly slowed a beat.
Such was the suppressive power of the Divine Slaughter's Domain: it weakened all of the opponent's attributes while enhancing all of her own. As one side weakened and the other strengthened, the hundred-thousand-year soul beast's imposing presence dropped a notch.
Qian Renxue raised her right hand, and the Angel Blade condensed in her palm.
Angel soul power, power of faith, and killing intent intertwined. Wherever the blade's radiance passed, even the air gave off a tearing sound.
The unicorn neighed in fury. Its horn lit up again, blasting out a second pillar of light.
The second soul ring on Qian Renxue's body lit up, and a golden shield of light blocked her front.
The pillar struck the shield like raging surf crashing against the shore, exploding in every direction.
Qian Renxue passed through the blast's aftershocks and slid forward, thrusting the Angel Blade into the unicorn's abdomen.
The blade's tip pierced three-tenths of an inch into its flesh, and power of faith burrowed into its body through the wound.
It let out an earthshaking roar of pain. Its horn blazed as it tried to shake off the burning sensation piercing its core.
But Qian Renxue gave it no chance to breathe. Using the momentum of her charge, she flipped upward, and the Angel Blade traced an arc through the air before slashing savagely into the side of its neck.
Holy light purified, faith suppressed, and killing intent corroded.
The three powers erupted simultaneously, sending a burst of sparks from the unicorn's neck.
It swayed a few times before finally crashing to the ground.
A deep red radiance rose from its corpse and hovered in midair.
In the distance, the seven Consecrated Elders wore different expressions, but none could hide their astonishment.
Golden Crocodile Douluo forcibly pulled back the foot he had already stepped halfway forward.
He stared at the red soul ring for a long while before dryly squeezing out a sentence. "She successfully took on a hundred-thousand-year soul beast alone?"
Light Feather Douluo uttered one word. "Monster."
Qian Renxue paid no attention to the Consecrated Elders' reactions.
She sat cross-legged and drew the red soul ring into her body.
The energy of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring surged into her meridians. Its resentment and soul power were enough to burst an ordinary Soul Saint's meridians.
But her meridians had been tempered by the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and were as tough as steel. Power of faith filtered out the resentment within the soul ring, and angel soul power followed closely behind, completely purifying the remaining impurities.
Her soul power climbed like floodwaters bursting through a dam, finally stopping at level seventy.
Qian Renxue opened her eyes. The red soul ring revolved beneath her feet like flames.
The sixth soul ring brought two powers.
The first soul skill was Angel Mellowing Sound, a technique that converted angel soul power into a mental assault.
With a single thought, she could unleash mental tremors over a wide area. Opponents whose spiritual power was less than half of hers would have their souls shattered outright, while opponents with spiritual power equal to or greater than hers would suffer a mental assault.
The second soul skill was even more uncanny. Named Wings of Void, it could briefly render her Eight Wings incorporeal, putting her into a state immune to all physical attacks while doubling her movement speed and even allowing her to pass through obstacles.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring truly differed from an ordinary soul ring, granting two soul skills.
Qian Renxue quietly put away the Right Leg Bone dropped by the Light Unicorn, stood, and took a deep breath. "Grandpa, the next one."
Qian Daoliu nodded, his eyes filled with excitement and gratification.
Having a hundred-thousand-year sixth soul ring was unprecedented in the history of Douluo Continent.
"My granddaughter, Qian Renxue, is the greatest genius of all time!"
The second target was chosen farther into the forest: a Griffin Emperor covered entirely in Holy Light feathers, circling high in the sky.
It possessed both light and wind attributes and was larger than the unicorn, with a wingspan exceeding twenty meters.
Golden Crocodile Douluo flashed forward. The aura of a level 98 Super Douluo erupted as he charged into the sky like a moving mountain.
Azure Luan Douluo followed close behind. His Azure Luan martial soul spread out in midair, its azure streams of light intertwining with Golden Crocodile Douluo's golden gales to form an airtight net.
The Griffin Emperor screeched furiously and beat its wings, sending hundreds of blades formed from light and wind raining from the sky.
Golden Crocodile Douluo struck with his palm. Golden gales swept upward like a giant wave, crushing most of the raining blades.
Some still slipped through, but Azure Luan Douluo spread his wings and took the remaining attacks head-on.
They were wearing down the Griffin Emperor's soul power.
As time passed, the Griffin Emperor's attacks gradually changed from frenzied to hurried, and the rhythm of its wingbeats was no longer so effortless.
"Young Master!" Golden Crocodile Douluo called in a low voice from midair. "It can't hold on much longer!"
Qian Renxue did not hesitate. With all eight wings fully spread, she passed through the defensive line the two Consecrated Elders had torn open for her.
The Griffin Emperor opened its mouth and spat out a blade of light-its final trump card.
"Sixth soul skill, Wings of Void!"
Qian Renxue's eight wings instantly turned transparent, like illusory streams of light.
The light blade passed through her body without causing any harm or even slowing her charge.
Three seconds of physical immunity were enough to render any power attack system Soul Master's fatal strike futile.
The instant Qian Renxue passed through the light blade, her Divine Slaughter's Domain spread once more, and killing intent coiled around the Griffin Emperor's body.
"Second soul skill, Angel Assault!"
Its effect was to deal heavy damage to the target with an additional sacred piercing effect, allowing it to ignore defenses to a certain extent and prevent the opponent from recovering on its own.
The next instant, sacred energy gathered in the Angel Blade.
Crack!
The sharp sound of shattering bones came from the Griffin Emperor's right wing.
The Griffin Emperor let out a shrill, mournful cry. Its right wing lost its strength, and its massive body lost balance, tumbling from the sky.
Qian Renxue flipped in midair and delivered another fatal strike with the Angel Blade as the Griffin Emperor fell.
"Fourth soul skill, Angel Descent!"
An Angel Phantom condensed in the sky, and holy light thundered down like a pillar!
It was not over yet. Strike while the enemy was weakened and finish it off.
"Fifth soul skill, Angel Sacred Flame!"
Flames gathered at her fingertips, forming a fiery feather that drifted toward the deep crater where the Griffin Emperor had crashed.
Amid the raging flames, a red soul ring rose.
Golden Crocodile Douluo descended from midair, his aura somewhat unsteady, but the expression on his face had already been replaced by an almost numb shock.
The other Consecrated Elders looked at Qian Renxue, all at a loss for words.
Qian Renxue sat cross-legged again and drew the soul ring into her body.
This time went even more smoothly than the first. Her body had already adapted to the energy intensity of a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, and her soul power surged again, rising all the way to level seventy-five.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, red, red!
