Douluo: Wuhun Longyuan Sword, I have become the scabbard

Chapter 141 Qian Renxue

Information about 100,000-year-old soul beasts is indeed scarce in this era, but Qian Renxue can be considered the secret saintess of the Spirit Hall, and there is a lot of information about 100,000-year-old soul beasts within the Spirit Hall.

Now, Qian Renxue has left the Heaven Dou Imperial City under the pretext of going on an expedition because she has found a suitable 100,000-year-old soul beast to target in order to obtain her eighth soul ring.

With Qian Renxue's background, hunting down a 100,000-year-old soul beast would be a piece of cake; anyone in the Hall of Worship would have that ability.

However, there seems to be no information about other 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the current Heaven Dou Empire.

In the southern part of the Star Luo Empire, there is a grassland.

But the grass here wasn't the usual green; instead, it was a yellow.

On the vast grassland, you can vaguely see a few extremely tall trees with few branches and leaves, and next to them, several huge soul beasts stretch out their long necks to gnaw on the thorny leaves.

Occasionally a gust of wind blows by, flattening some of the withered grass, revealing the wild beasts lying prone and resting on the ground, too hot to move.

Among the sparsely populated trees, a deer that was foraging for food seemed to sense something, and suddenly leaped away and disappeared from the spot.

Two golden figures appeared like ghosts in the forest. Both were wearing golden soft armor. One of them was extremely strong and his face was no longer young, while the other had long golden hair and an exquisite face. He was staring intently at a tall mountain in the distance that was emitting thick black smoke.

It was a volcano, and an active one at that, with its dark red lava still hot.

"In a hundred years, that soul beast has advanced to the level of a hundred thousand years, while my strength has not improved at all in the past fifty years." The burly man's voice was somewhat somber, but he felt relieved when he saw the woman behind him.

"Second Grandfather, your strength surpasses countless Soul Masters on the continent. Only a handful of people can defeat you." Qian Renxue heard what Golden Crocodile Douluo said. The level 99 realm is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the Soul Master in front of her, who possesses a fully equipped Soul Bone, one of which is 100,000 years old, plus a 100,000-year Soul Ring that countless Soul Masters can only dream of, could not achieve this.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was much older than Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu. He had witnessed the two of them grow up and surpass him, so he was naturally quite emotional.

"Haha, I'm afraid there will be more than a handful of people who can surpass me in the future. Your friend's strength has actually reached the level of a Title Douluo." Jin E laughed as he looked at the sword-shaped mark between Qian Renxue's eyebrows. The Spirit Hall, which possesses the inheritance of gods, will once again have someone become a god in this era.

Moreover, there may be more than one person like this successor of the divine position in this era.

They are much younger than Qian Renxue, but they already possess 100,000-year soul rings, and there is more than one of them!
Their potential may even surpass that of a thousand-foot snowflake.

Golden Crocodile Douluo knew the strength and achievements of those people. To have such strength at such a young age was something even the now level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo could hardly imagine.

"He is indeed a terrifying guy."

“You absorbed a 100,000-year spirit ring, so you might be even stronger than him.” As the Golden Crocodile Douluo who possessed a 100,000-year spirit ring, he understood that the boost a 100,000-year spirit ring could provide to a spirit master was far beyond what ordinary spirit masters could achieve, and that the powerful energy of a 100,000-year spirit ring could elevate a spirit master’s potential to a whole new level.

After absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring, Golden Crocodile Douluo faced no obstacles before becoming a Super Douluo, and had almost no bottlenecks before breaking through to level 98.

"Maybe."

"I see it!" Golden Crocodile Douluo looked up at the sky and saw a soul beast burning with red flames appear, flying towards the lava above the volcano like a shooting star.

"That's the Fire Falcon! But the Fire Falcon doesn't seem to have this kind of speed."

This is an eagle-type soul beast with a wingspan of only about five meters, which is not very large among 100,000-year-old soul beasts.

"It mutated. More than a hundred years ago, it was already close to 100,000 years old. Your grandfather originally planned to hunt it down as his ninth spirit ring, but its speed was too fast and its attack power was too strong. The people he sent out at the time were unable to hunt it down, which is why it escaped." Golden Crocodile Douluo said, looking at the departing meteor.

"Mutation, no wonder!" Among the people sent out at that time, there must have been Title Douluos, and perhaps more than one. No matter how fast the Wind Fire Falcon was, it would be difficult for it to escape from several Title Douluos. Moreover, knowing the type of soul beast to be hunted, there must have been some Title Douluos who were good at speed.

"However, it can't escape from my grasp." Golden Crocodile Douluo said confidently, looking into Qian Renxue's eyes.

Although this soul beast is extremely fast, it is only 100,000 years old. As a level 98 Golden Crocodile, although it is not an agility-based attack type, at this level, its speed is not much slower than that of a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Moreover, since it knows its own weakness, it naturally has a soul skill to deal with this situation.

Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately took to the air and headed towards the Wind and Fire Falcon.

Within the lava, serpentine spirit beasts with horns on their heads were absorbing the fire-attribute energy within the lava.

歘!
A red shooting star streaked across the sky in an instant.

The snake, which was over ten meters long, was instantly split in two.

A Dragon Flame Python over 10,000 years old?

From a distance, Qian Renxue watched the Windfire Falcon feeding. This guy's attacks were indeed quite fierce, like meteors, much like the final blow he delivered to Ding Quan.

“It can no longer be considered a Windfire Falcon.” Qian Renxue looked at the Windfire Falcon that was devouring the Dragonflame Python. Two thin horns had actually grown on the head of this Windfire Falcon. Qian Renxue looked at the Dragonflame Python, which had turned into a corpse. These horns were very similar to the horns of the Dragonflame Python.

"The Wind and Fire Falcon can hardly cultivate to the point of 100,000 years. It is already showing signs of dragonification." Its prey is the Dragon Flame Python, which has some dragon blood. Golden Crocodile Douluo has lived for more than two hundred years and is naturally very knowledgeable.

"Alright."

"Xue'er, are you sure you want to absorb its spirit ring?"

"Second Grandfather, didn't you say that my current physical strength is sufficient to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring?"

"Absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring might be enough for you, but there are differences between 100,000-year soul rings. This soul beast is quite powerful."

"That's even better. The stronger it is, the stronger the soul skills it can provide."

"In that case, wait for me a moment." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Renxue's somewhat excited gaze. His granddaughter, whom he had watched grow up, was different from the conservative Qian Daoliu. Perhaps his lack of breakthrough over the years was due to the loss of the drive he had in his youth.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly, and then his golden figure rushed directly towards the Wind and Fire Falcon.

Ouch~!

A deep, booming roar resounded, and an enormous golden crocodile phantom appeared in mid-air, roaring to the sky.

The soul power, now in tangible form, instantly permeated the volcano, causing the rising smoke to freeze as if it had stopped.

"Human Soul Master!" Speaking in human language, he was undoubtedly a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast. The Golden Crocodile Douluo's soul power burst forth, and the more than 100-meter-long Golden Crocodile King suddenly charged.

Just as the Fire Falcon was about to spread its wings, terrifying soul power instantly locked onto it. Nine terrifying soul rings—two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—appeared without warning, and the Fire Falcon froze in its tracks.

The roar unleashed a sonic wave that was clearly visible to the naked eye, which struck the Fire Falcon directly.

Qian Renxue watched as the fourth purple soul ring on the nine soul rings lit up and then returned to its original state.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's fourth soul skill, Crocodile King's Roar! It stuns the target and is an area-of-effect attack that is difficult to dodge.

Flames erupted from the Windfire Falcon's body, yet its form remained unaffected. Golden Crocodile Douluo's fourth soul skill had no effect on it whatsoever, and its speed was even faster than before.

"Sixth Soul Skill—Crocodile King's Devour! For me to use my sixth soul skill, your speed is indeed very fast!" The deep voice of Golden Crocodile Douluo came.

A gigantic golden crocodile appeared out of thin air and bit the already-taken-off Windfire Falcon.

No wonder Golden Crocodile Douluo was so cautious; this Wind and Fire Falcon is truly extraordinary. Even the enshrined ones of the Spirit Hall, when struck by Golden Crocodile's fourth spirit skill, could hardly react in an instant.

The sixth soul skill unleashed by a level 98 soul power is difficult even for other enshrined beings to withstand, let alone this 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Seeing that the flames on the Windfire Falcon's body were growing even stronger, this was a sign that it was about to unleash its soul skill!
Hmph! Although Golden Crocodile Douluo doesn't know what skill it might be, he can't be careless and naturally won't let it have its way.

A hand formed from soul power grabbed the Wind and Fire Falcon. With a sudden burst of strength, Golden Crocodile Douluo knocked the Wind and Fire Falcon unconscious.

"Xue'er, do it!" Golden Crocodile Douluo threw the Wind and Fire Falcon in front of Qian Renxue.

"Alright." Qian Renxue conjured a golden longsword in her hand and suddenly thrust it towards the Wind and Fire Falcon.

clang!
A metallic clanging sound rang out. Qian Renxue looked at the Windfire Falcon's scale-like skin beneath its feathers and recognized it. Looking at the two horns on its head, she realized that this soul beast would be more appropriately called a Dragon Falcon.

Seven spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and three black—appeared on Qian Renxue, and two pairs of wings rose directly from her back.

A black spirit ring lit up, and the golden longsword formed from condensed spirit power in his hand burst into flames. This time, the Angelic Holy Sword finally pierced through.

The Fire Falcon struggled fiercely, but slowly lost its ability to move under the grip of the Golden Crocodile's hands.

A blood-red spirit ring slowly emerged from the Wind and Fire Falcon. Upon seeing this, the Golden Crocodile shook his hand and put away his spirit.

Although the flames on the Windfire Falcon were terrifying, they were useless against the Golden Crocodile King's defense.

Qian Renxue looked at the red soul ring, nodded, and then turned her gaze to the corpse of the Wind and Fire Falcon. She forcefully slashed with the Angelic Holy Sword in her hand, and a soul bone appeared in their sight.

Holding the fiery red soul bone in her hand, Qian Renxue smiled.

It should be a soul skill related to speed and explosiveness. This soul bone is extremely light, as if it were lifted by a gust of wind, and the explosive fire attribute on it did not attract Qian Renxue's attention.

When Golden Crocodile Douluo saw Qian Renxue put away the soul bone, he didn't say much. Qian Renxue couldn't possibly absorb this soul bone. Moreover, this soul beast was good at speed, and such soul bones were indeed mostly leg bones. And coincidentally, Qian Renxue was currently missing her left leg bone.

"Your physical strength is barely enough to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring, but you still can't be careless."

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, I know!" Qian Renxue put away the soul bone and looked at the 100,000-year soul ring with a solemn expression. At this time, she could not be careless.

Qian Renxue sat cross-legged, and under the guidance of her soul power, the red soul ring that countless soul masters dreamed of fell directly onto her.

Uh~!

A painful sound came from Qian Renxue's mouth. Jin E's expression froze instantly. A surge of soul power appeared in his hand, and his eyes were fixed on Qian Renxue. He could intervene and interrupt if anything unexpected happened.

Boom! Golden-red flames instantly erupted from Qian Renxue's body, and the intensity of these flames actually suppressed the Wind and Fire Falcon Soul Ring.

Although Qian Renxue's face was full of pain, her breathing became more and more stable. Although it was difficult for Qian Renxue's body to absorb this soul ring, there was no problem.

Golden Crocodile Douluo felt slightly relieved. The power of the Six-Winged Angel was beyond doubt, and Xue'er possessed four divine soul bones of 99,909 years. The quality of such soul bones far exceeded that of himself when he was a Title Douluo. Absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring of the same fire attribute was indeed feasible.

With the eighth spirit ring after 100,000 years, plus a divinely bestowed martial soul, Xue'er's future strength is unimaginable. Perhaps after absorbing this spirit ring, Xue'er will already possess the strength of a Super Douluo.

That soul bone was a lucky break for that kid; it's only an eighth-level soul bone after 100,000 years! The Spirit Hall didn't lose out either.

"Kid, are you trying to fool me with this?"

In Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo placed the Soul Core Cultivation Method that Ding Quan had given him in front of Ding Quan. Now, Ding Quan and the others had been staying in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well for some time, and their relationship with Dugu Bo had improved considerably.

"Senior, there's absolutely no problem with what I'm giving you. I did indeed condense the soul core according to the method described above." Ding Quan had recorded this after condensing his own soul core, so there couldn't be any mistake.

"I've never been able to compress soul power into a solid state using mental power, or even compress space." Dugu Bo looked at Ding Quan with a doubtful expression. He had tried many times during this period, but he still couldn't do it, so he couldn't help but come to find Ding Quan.

"Really?" Ding Quan was somewhat surprised. Ten thousand years later, a soul core could be considered a standard feature for a Title Douluo, which is why there are so many Title Douluos now.

Ding Quan's golden-red eyes lit up with fire as he looked at Dugu Bo. He saw that the pearl-like object inside Dugu Bo's body was still absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy. This thing was indeed very similar to a soul core, but it was quite different from his own soul core.

“This is indeed a soul core, quite stable, but lacks vitality. It’s highly likely that this person didn’t condense it themselves, making it practically useless to them.” Just as Ding Quan was pondering this, Xue Di’s voice rang in his mind.

"so."

“He already has a soul core in his body. If he wants to condense another soul core, this soul core will clash with his soul power, so he will naturally be unable to condense it successfully.”

“Indeed.” Ding Quan understood. Ordinary titles can only condense one soul core. If two are condensed, the soul cores will interfere with each other. A being capable of condensing two soul cores is probably strong enough to reach the level of peerless level ninety-nine. “If he wants to condense a soul core again, he will have to discard this one.”

As Ding Quan thought this, he glanced subtly at Ling Wei and the others who were talking to each other. Their strength was not far from condensing a soul core, and Ling had even begun to try.

Now there is a reference point. Although Ding Quan has condensed a soul core, he also relied on the power of the Snow Emperor at that time, so there is no possibility of copying it.

Dugu Bo's inner core can be taken out directly, so it poses no danger to him.

"Senior Dugu, you don't want to be chased and beaten by Chrysanthemum Douluo again next time you see him, do you?"
