Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 187 The Ring of Judgment: The Seraphim's Spine, the Imperial Beast, and Her Nanny

The life force of the Divine Grace Unicorn King vanished, and after the golden light faded, the image centered on his horn, which was imbued with divine power and the true fire of the sun...
A bright red halo spread outwards, like a beautiful red lotus blooming in the void. In that instant, the entire space fell silent.

Wherever the red light passed, everything was dyed red.

Golden-red flames began to burn on the body of the Divine Grace Unicorn King. His body gradually became transparent, and the red light began to shrink, transforming into a huge red ring that slowly pulsated around Qian Renxue.

“Inheritor of the angelic bloodline, tell me, which part of the soul bone do you need?” A gentle voice echoed in Qian Renxue’s mind.

Qian Renxue's eyes widened in astonishment. A soul bone?

She doesn't need such things. Even if it's a 100,000-year-old soul bone, she doesn't need it. Qian Daoliu had told her long ago that there was a 99999-year-old six-piece angel set waiting for her to inherit.

Even now, after her trip to Wuhun City, she absorbed another piece of the angel's right leg bone—Liang Tian.

In addition to the head soul bone she absorbed to acquire the disguise skill in order to infiltrate Heaven Dou City—Cloud Illusion—she now possesses two major components.

Not to mention that Qian Renxue already knows that this Angel Set can evolve again during the future Divine Trial.

Even if they didn't know, this single soul bone at this moment couldn't possibly be absorbed by it.

As if sensing Qian Renxue's thoughts, the voice remained silent for a moment before continuing, "I vaguely sense your concerns. In that case, let's proceed with that one."

His voice disappeared completely.

In the next instant, a torrent of life force, soul force, divine power, and true solar fire surged toward Qian Renxue's back.

Like a streamlined convergence and fusion, an external vertebral column, as clear as golden crystal, was born.

It was not in the shape of an ordinary spine, but was composed of twelve floating light blades that rose up and formed a ring of light behind Qian Renxue.

An inextinguishable sacred fire burned at the edge of the halo, its immense power pouring out, extending from the ring and slowly conforming to the snowy spine.

"The Ring of Judgment - The Seraphim's Spine".

Its abilities can be summarized as one active skill and one passive skill.

Active: Holy Judgment - Ring of Annihilation, the halo expands several times in an instant, and the added holy flames can even burn the soul, weakening the target's soul skill by 50%.

Passive: Seraph's Embrace, grants immunity to negative status effects below the God level, and increases the flight speed of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul by 100%.

Qian Renxue's face lit up with joy. The changes in this external soul bone far exceeded her expectations. Offensively, it possessed an extreme divine flame, and defensively, it was completely immune to status decline.

This kind of conceptual ability can almost only be born when one comes into contact with a god-like being.

The fact that this divinely blessed unicorn, which received a trace of the angel's lingering will, actually granted her such abilities is probably due to the evolution of that trace of divinity.

"Are you still there?" Qian Renxue couldn't help but ask.

However, the only response she received was silence, and the increasingly condensed, 100,000-year-old red soul ring that was closing in on her in the still space.

Qian Renxue's eyes flickered for a moment, and she could only accept the situation, then began to concentrate on absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring.

The sacrifice was nearing its end, and the time-space pause button that had been pressed during the sacrifice of the 100,000-year-old soul beast was released.

Golden Crocodile Douluo opened his mouth, looking at Qian Renxue sitting cross-legged and absorbing the soul ring with some astonishment.

The Serpent Spear Douluo sighed, "I never imagined that this soul beast would be connected to the young master's ancestor. Gods, what a distant and sacred term."
Having received kindness in the past and now grown to the pinnacle of the continent, he resolutely sacrificed his life upon seeing the successor of the angels. Sometimes, I truly believe that the hearts of soul beasts are more sincere than those of humans.
"Second Elder, I suddenly understand what Qianyao meant by the relationship between soul beasts and humans. Perhaps we didn't have to be mortal enemies; it's just that the rules of heaven and earth are like this, and no one can change them."

Golden Crocodile Douluo came to his senses, remained silent for a moment, and then snorted coldly, "What a boring idea. Soul beasts and humans are inherently on opposite sides of survival."

No matter how much you complain and lament the passing of time, it's all in vain. Do you really expect to find a way to live peacefully with spirit beasts?
If such a method really existed, why haven't the gods who ascended to the upper realms taken any action?

"Even our ancestors at the Spirit Hall couldn't do this, so it's not our place to even think about it."
-
A mysterious place thousands of miles away from here, the true center of the entire Douluo Continent.

Here lies a vast lake, like a sapphire set in the earth.

Various rare plants grow along the shore, their rich vitality flowing freely, weaving into a network, and even condensing into a thin mist that drifts above the lake.

It's like a fairyland, truly the Lake of Life.

In the center of the lake, a black figure sat cross-legged in mid-air, with a snow-white, solid, gel-like object in front of him.

It was continuously transforming into pure, luminous white primordial energy, which he absorbed and refined.

"Ok?"

Di Tian suddenly opened his golden eyes, a solemn look flashing in them. He stood up and put away the silkworm flesh in front of him, which he didn't know came from.

They gazed in a direction a thousand miles away.

"A soul beast sacrifice? How could this be? It happened just over a decade ago, and now this aura is back again... It's his?"

Di Tian frowned. As the patriarch of the Black Dragon Clan and the leader of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, he was deeply moved.

His cultivation level had already reached over 800,000 years, and his combat power far surpassed that of most peerless Douluo.

Even if Qian Daoliu came, he would still have to take a hit from his Dragon God Claw and wouldn't be able to utter a sound.

Therefore, he sensed this unusual aura shortly after the Divine Unicorn initiated the sacrifice.

"That guy possesses a trace of angelic divinity; how could he so easily sacrifice himself to humanity? There's more to it than meets the eye."

Just then, a clear voice rang out from the lakeside, “Di Tian, ​​I need to go and see. The sacrifice of the Divine Grace Unicorn King has already affected the fortune of my Star Dou Great Forest.”

Moreover, as his friend, I must witness for what reason he sacrificed himself to humanity.

If those humans forced and harmed my friends, this auspicious beast will surely punish them!

The speaker was a soul beast covered in brilliant golden fur. It looked like a lion, but its four claws were like those of a dragon, and golden flames clung to its paws.

Beneath her fur were golden scales, and besides her golden eyes, there was a strange red vertical pupil between her brows.

Di Tian frowned. "You're not planning to linger outside again, are you?"

The Emperor Beast's eyes widened. "How is that possible! This Beast carries the fortune of the entire Star Dou Great Forest and possesses the power of destiny. How could I go out casually just to have fun!"

"It was only because the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest increased slightly that I went to check it out!"

Di Tian's eyes flickered, and he finally nodded, "Alright, then I'll take you there."
