Screech!
After scattering the three attendant angels, the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon let out a piercing cry and charged at Qian Xunji.
It could tell that Qian Xunji was controlling this domain. Its most urgent task was to eliminate him first.
"Protect His Holiness the Pope!"
Seeing the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon charge at Qian Xunji, the Titled Douluo rushed forward.
"Ninth Soul Skill! Ice-Bound Heaven and Earth!"
"Ninth Soul Skill! Water Floods Golden Mountain!"
"Ninth Soul Skill! Tearing Storm Slash!"
All five Titled Douluo unleashed their strongest attacks.
Bolstered by Qian Xunji's domain, five dazzling attacks hurtled toward the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon.
Screech!
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon hurriedly flapped its wings to dodge, but with the domain suppressing it and reducing its speed by twenty percent, it only evaded two attacks this time!
The remaining three attacks slammed squarely into its body.
When the light of the Soul Skills faded, the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon let out a mournful cry, then plummeted straight toward the ground!
Boom!
The Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon smashed into the ground, sending shattered rocks flying and dust filling the sky.
On the ground, the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon lay embedded deep in the earth, still struggling to stand.
But the next second, five streaks of light arrived around it in an instant, surrounding it tightly.
Above the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon, Qian Xunji slowly descended until he was directly over its heads.
He looked at the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon, its body covered in wounds but its eyes still fierce.
Qian Xunji raised his hand and extended his index finger.
"Sixth Soul Skill! Holy Evil-Breaking Slash!"
He traced a light stroke toward the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon below, and several slashes struck it!
Bang!
The light instantly vanished from the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon's eyes, and its body collapsed heavily to the ground.
Hum!
A black Soul Ring tinged with red appeared above the Holy Flame Two-Headed Griffon's corpse.
"Stand guard for me!"
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
The five Titled Douluo answered, then vanished, each securing an area!
Qian Xunji landed, sat cross-legged, and began absorbing the Soul Ring!
As time passed, signs of a black Soul Ring also appeared around Qian Xunji's body.
Just then, another red Soul Ring suddenly appeared. The two Soul Rings overlapped, and for a moment, they actually showed faint signs of slipping out of control!
Faint black markings even appeared on Qian Xunji's face.
Outside, everyone watched Qian Xunji, who looked as though he was about to fail to withstand the Soul Ring's power and explode.
Although they all knew in their hearts that Qian Xunji would successfully absorb the Soul Ring, they still could not help praying that something would go wrong during the absorption, injuring him or even planting a hidden danger.
"Heh, back when Qian Xunji absorbed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, he had a Limit Douluo like Qian Daoliu helping him suppress it. Now, without a Limit Douluo beside him, he still dares to exceed his limits to absorb a Soul Ring!"
"I truly hope Qian Xunji fails to withstand the Soul Ring's power and explodes. That way, he wouldn't cause such great turmoil on the Douluo Continent!"
Yu Xiaogang stared at Qian Xunji on the Heavenly Screen, his eyes bloodshot as he roared repeatedly in his heart.
"Die! Die! Just die, Qian Xunji!"
Under everyone's gaze, the two Soul Rings intertwined around Qian Xunji.
As they continued overlapping, the black Soul Ring actually began showing faint signs of transforming into red.
Everyone outside was already dumbstruck.
Hum!
After the black Soul Ring completely transformed into a red one, a violent tremor rippled around Qian Xunji. First, one red Soul Ring appeared, then another red Soul Ring circled him.
Under the resonance of the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, that ninety-thousand-year black Soul Ring had actually mutated, transforming into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
And this scene shocked the entire Douluo Continent!
What had they just seen!
A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had turned into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!
"Are my eyes playing tricks on me? How did a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring suddenly turn into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
"What's going on? Nothing like this has ever happened in ten thousand years!"
"Impossible! That's impossible! Why did it turn into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? Why!"
Yu Xiaogang clutched his head with both hands, his features already twisted by overwhelming jealousy.
At that moment, Chen Xin, whose bearing stood apart from the crowd, slowly spoke with a grave expression.
"That Soul Beast was already a ninety-thousand-year Soul Beast, only a hair's breadth away from becoming a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. When Qian Xunji absorbed its Soul Ring, the rampaging power caused that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring to resonate with the ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring."
"Power flows from the side with more to the side with less, so some of that Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring's power was absorbed by the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. This caused the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring to mutate, ultimately becoming a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"
Only after hearing Chen Xin's explanation did everyone gain a hazy understanding of what had happened.
But understanding was one thing. A Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring mutating into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring still left their eyes so red with envy they nearly turned purple.
"Alas! Though Qian Xunji's deeds are heinous beyond measure, his talent and luck truly leave others green with envy!"
Chen Xin sighed again.
For something that had not happened once in ten thousand years to happen to Qian Xunji, one could only say that fortune truly favored him!
Beside him, Tang San could not help clenching his hands into fists after hearing this!
Fortune favors him?
But I'm the transmigrator. I'm the one who should be the chosen son of heaven! Why didn't an opportunity like this come to me!
On the Heavenly Screen, Qian Xunji had finished absorbing the Soul Ring and slowly opened his eyes.
At that moment, the five Titled Douluo who had been standing guard appeared before Qian Xunji, along with Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
Seeing the two red Soul Rings on the outside of Qian Xunji's rings, they froze at first. Then Yue Guan and Gui Mei were the first to react, dropping to one knee in a flash.
"Congratulations on successfully absorbing your second Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, Your Holiness!"
The other five Titled Douluo came to their senses and hurriedly dropped to one knee as well.
"Congratulations, Your Holiness!"
"All of you, rise!"
Qian Xunji exhaled. To be honest, the situation just now had been exceedingly dangerous.
With the Soul Rings resonating, the slightest mistake carried the risk of Ring Detonation and his body exploding!
But danger and opportunity coexisted. Not only had this ninety-thousand-year Soul Ring mutated into a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but his level had also risen from 70 to 73. If part of the power had not been absorbed by the Soul Ring...
Perhaps his Soul Power could have risen five levels at once, just like last time!
"Return to Spirit Hall!"
Having accomplished his goal this time, Qian Xunji immediately led his men back to Spirit Hall!
Before leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, however, Qian Xunji returned once again to the Mist Forest, where he had previously encountered the Bewildering Barrier Nether Python.
Only after standing for a while in the place that held his memories did Qian Xunji leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
Meanwhile, deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, unbeknownst to him...
Ah Rou was nursing a baby!
Ah Rou looked down at the suckling baby, her face filled with tender affection.
She had never expected to become pregnant after that one time.
And this baby had come at such an inopportune time, just when she had taken human form. To preserve the child in her womb, she could only nourish it with Soul Power.
This had caused her Soul Power to decline for a time.
Ah Rou raised her head and looked into the distance. He probably still did not know that he already had a child.
And Tang San and Xiao Wu outside witnessed this scene.
Both were already shocked beyond measure!
Was that baby Xiao Wu?
