Star Dou Great Forest.
In the southwestern mountain range, a stretch of gray-white rock thrust forcefully into the boundless green.
The highest peak of this rising mountain range pierced straight into the clouds.
Screech!
A furious cry rang out from within the clouds.
The clouds overhead suddenly scattered outward, and a streak of flame plunged down from above them.
Behind it, five differently colored streaks of light followed close on its heels.
As the view abruptly drew closer, a Soul Beast could be seen within the flames: a Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon, a ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast whose combat strength and bloodline rivaled those of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.
This Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon was Qian Xunji's target on this trip.
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon was a dual-attribute Soul Beast with light and fire attributes, one of the finest light-attribute Soul Beasts Spirit Hall had located.
Behind the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon, Spirit Hall's Titled Douluos pursued relentlessly, sending attack after attack at it.
"Fifth Soul Skill! Heavenly Net and Earthly Web!"
"Eighth Soul Skill! Azure Wave-Splitting Slash!"
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon kept beating its wings, dodging and weaving to evade the incoming attacks!
Under this barrage, the space the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon had to maneuver and evade grew smaller and smaller.
"Eighth Soul Skill! Extreme-Speed Freezing Cage!"
Just then, seizing an opening as the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon dodged, a blazing-blue Soul Skill shot toward it.
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon could not evade this strike and could only take it head-on.
Ice spread rapidly over the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon's body at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly freezing it into a solid ice sculpture!
"Did it work?"
Just as one of the Titled Douluos cried out in delight-
With a crack, the ice on the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon rapidly burst apart, scattering in every direction.
Screech!
After a shrill cry, one of the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon's heads abruptly spat fireball after fireball at the Titled Douluos!
The Titled Douluos all dodged!
Its other head also opened its mouth, spewing a pillar of light. As the head swept from side to side, the beam swept through the space ahead like a jade pillar reaching to the heavens.
Two Titled Douluos who had just dodged into its path had no time to react. Just as they were about to be struck, a layer of white shielding suddenly appeared around them.
Protected by these shields, the two Titled Douluos were sent flying, but the damage they suffered was reduced by more than half.
The two Titled Douluos steadied themselves and looked at the figure slowly descending from above to appear before them, their faces filled with gratitude as they spoke.
"Thank you, Your Holiness!"
The newcomer was none other than Qian Xunji. Two pairs of pure-white wings spread behind him, and with his golden hair, golden eyes, and handsome face, he looked like an actual angel descending!
What he had just used was the Angel Unicorn's Soul Bone Skill, Holy Light Echo, which granted his companions purification and defensive effects.
Qian Xunji looked into the distance, where three Titled Douluos were still locked in combat with the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon!
Qian Xunji slowly spread his arms, and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul appeared behind him.
A ring of light gradually expanded outward from above the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's head, instantly enveloping the surrounding space.
"Angel Domain!"
"Sixth Soul Skill! Holy Domain!"
As Qian Xunji's voice fell, a layer of dazzling light enveloped him.
Then, centered on Qian Xunji, that dazzling light rapidly spread in every direction.
The two domains overlapped and interwove, actually taking on tangible form.
Throughout the domain, holy light shone and a sacred presence permeated the air, like a heavenly barrier.
The Spirit Hall Titled Douluos enveloped within this domain sensed not only that their Soul Power recovery speed had increased by fifty percent, but that their speed, attack, and defense had all improved across the board!
"S-so powerful!"
"Is this His Holiness the Pope's dual domain? Simply astonishing!"
"As expected of His Holiness the Pope. He hasn't even broken through to Soul Douluo yet, but he already commands such formidable might."
Screech!
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon within the domain, however, let out a cry of discomfort.
Even though the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon had the light attribute, its strength was still suppressed within the dual domain, with every aspect reduced by twenty percent.
For dark-attribute beings or evil entities, this dual domain could suppress all their attributes by as much as eighty percent.
It could only be said that if Qian Xunji's enemy were an Evil Soul Master or a Soul Beast, he could simply pin their head down and beat them!
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon gave its wings a fierce flap and flew toward the edge of the domain, trying to break out of this domain cage.
Yet the next second, light gathered in the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon's path.
A two-winged angel wielding a sword and shield appeared, driving the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon back with a slash.
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon roared in fury, turned, and charged in another direction.
Yet another angel wielding a saber and shield appeared ahead, blocking its path!
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon flew in the opposite direction, only to be driven back once again.
The three angels steadily closed in, surrounding the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon in the center.
These three angels were the three servants the Holy Domain could summon. As long as they were not completely dispersed, they could remain indefinitely, repairing themselves with the Soul Power within the domain.
Of course, if they were dispersed, they could not be summoned again for a day.
The Titled Douluos looked at the three servant angels, unable to conceal the shock on their faces.
For these three servants alone had already reached the Soul King level!
Light gathered at the sword tips of the three servant angels. With a hum, three beams shot toward the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon in the center.
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon abruptly folded its enormous wings to protect its body. The flames at the tips of its wings spread across their entirety, forming a fiery shield.
The three beams struck the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon.
Boom!
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon flung its wings wide, and the beams fired by the servant angels immediately dissipated.
Both of the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon's heads immediately attacked!
One head spat several fireballs at a servant angel. The servant angel raised its shield to defend, but the shield was blasted apart outright, and its body was then dispersed by the following fireballs.
The other head fired a pillar of light that swept across the other two servant angels, instantly scattering them into motes of light.
The Titled Douluos witnessed this scene, momentarily unable to react.
Those three servant angels had actually been destroyed in an instant!
Qian Xunji, by contrast, remained expressionless.
These three servant angels were only at the Soul King level. Against the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon, whose strength rivaled that of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, they naturally could not withstand a single blow.
Besides, this was not the greatest strength these three servant angels could possess.
Their strength increased along with that of their master. He was currently only a Soul Emperor, so these three servants were only at the Soul King level.
If he were a Titled Douluo, these three servant angels would possess the strength of Soul Douluos!
Once he became a god, the strength of these three servant angels would soar along with his!
