Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

However, faced with this earth-shattering attack, the Nine-Tailed Demon merely raised her eyelids.

The next second, the Nine-Tailed Demon's figure vanished from the spot!

Space transfer!

The ten attacks collided with a deafening roar, triggering a violent explosion on the spot.

The Nine-Tailed Demon's figure had already appeared ghost-like above one of the heads of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent!
He extended a slender, pale finger and gently tapped the snake's head.

A wisp of extreme cold light shone from the fingertips!

Freeze!

The snake's head was instantly frozen and shattered!

It's now!

The Nine-Tailed Demon's figure flickered again, and this time, he appeared on the belly of the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent, in the place where the scales were thinnest!

In his hands, a moon blade, magnified several times over, had appeared without his noticing!

"cut!"

A cool yet alluring voice rang out.

The silver moon blade, carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing through space, slashed fiercely into the belly of the ten-headed blazing sun serpent!

"Pfft-"

The tough snake scales were as fragile as paper in the face of this slash!
The ten Fiery Sun Serpents were instantly cut in half!

"Roar--!"

The intense pain drove the Ten-Headed Fiery Serpent completely mad!
But, it's too late!

The Nine-Tailed Demon had already used spatial teleportation to appear at a safe distance of 100 meters away.

He hovered silently in mid-air, extending his right hand and aiming it at the dying beast.

Countless icy blue light spots began to converge in his palm, forming a rapidly spinning energy sphere radiating terrifying power.

That was the ultimate ice, fused with the Ice Emperor's Claw, and the spatial tearing power of the Evil Moon.

"The End - The Frozen Starfall!"

boom--! ! !
A thick, icy-blue beam of energy, carrying fragments of shattered space, pierced through the void in an instant and struck the remaining nine heads of the Ten-Headed Sun Serpent with pinpoint accuracy!
The ultimate power of ice erupted instantly!

"Click. Click."

The massive body of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, along with its nine ferocious heads, was rapidly frozen into a crystal-clear ice sculpture, starting from the wound.

Immediately, countless fine cracks appeared on the ice sculpture.

"boom--"

A soft sound.

The entire ice sculpture, along with the arrogant ancient beast, shattered completely, turning into countless ice shards that slowly drifted away.

In the center of those ice shards, the nine-tailed demon floated silently.

He slowly opened his palm, and the next moment, a fist-sized, fiery red inner core radiating terrifying heat broke through the last bit of ice crystal and flew into his palm automatically.

Even before the final blow was delivered, Hu Bai had already used his vast and boundless spiritual power to precisely locate the life core of the ten-headed Fiery Sun Serpent.

In the instant that extreme icy power shattered the giant serpent's body, he also separated a wisp of exquisite spiritual power, like the gentlest hand, carefully enveloping the inner core, ensuring it remained intact amidst the violent energy impact.

This terrifying control—the ability to retain a touch of precise creation amidst extreme destruction—is far more awe-inspiring than mere annihilation.

The realm of gods, the temple of destruction.

Before the water mirror, the breathing of several powerful figures from the divine realm paused for a moment due to the magnificent battle that had just taken place.

"This...this is their three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill?" Even the well-informed Rong Nianbing was astonished.

"What a perfect fusion of energy! Spirit, space, charm, elements—several top-tier attributes—can be combined so seamlessly, unleashing power far exceeding the sum of its parts!"

The Goddess of Life's eyes gleamed with wonder: "What's most remarkable is that although this power is full of destructiveness, its core is controlled by a pure spiritual force, which can be controlled and released with unparalleled precision."

"Humph."

From his seat, the God of Destruction let out a cold snort, but anyone could hear the satisfaction and appreciation in his voice almost overflowing.

"Precise control is born from destruction. Excellent, excellent!"

The God of Destruction spoke slowly, his voice carrying an undeniable majesty. These words were both an evaluation of Hu Bai and the other two, and a final command to the deity beside him.

"They passed."

He turned his head and looked at the two silent divine phantoms behind him, one purple and one pink.

"Destruction, lust. You two may begin," the God of Destruction said calmly. "These two children have already proven with their strength that they are qualified to receive your inheritance."

"Yes, Lord Destruction."

The two illusory figures bowed slightly, then transformed into two streams of light that pierced through the barrier of the divine realm and projected towards the lower realm!

The end of the road to hell.

The nine-tailed demon carefully stored its inner core, its figure transforming into a streak of light, and shot out through the only exit.

When the three of them breathed in the earthy air again, they all felt as if they had returned to another world.

With a flash of light, the fusion state ended, and Hu Bai, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena reappeared.

"Phew—the air outside is so much better!"

Hu Liena was the first to utter a heartfelt exclamation. She opened her arms, closed her eyes, took a deep breath of fresh air, and a look of blissful delight appeared on her face.

"Yes," Xie Yue said with a sigh, "If it weren't for Xiao Bai's 'Heart-Clearing Mantra' these past two years, we probably..."

Before the words were finished, a graceful and elegant figure appeared before the three of them without warning.

It was Pope Bibidon.

"Teacher! What brings you here?" Hu Liena was both surprised and delighted, rushing over like a fledgling returning to its nest.

A rare, genuinely gentle smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face. She gently stroked Hu Liena's long hair, her eyes filled with satisfaction and pride.

“I have people keeping an eye on your winning streak,” Bibi Dong said softly. “After I learned that you had won ninety-nine games in a row, I came to this area in advance to wait for you to come out.”

Hearing this, Hu Bai and the other two felt a warmth in their hearts.

"Huh?" Bibi Dong examined her three disciples, a hint of surprise suddenly appearing in her beautiful eyes. "There isn't a trace of killing intent on any of you?"

Hu Liena chuckled, grabbed Bibi Dong's arm, and said boastfully, "This is all thanks to Second Brother! If he hadn't prepared the 'Heart-Cleansing Mantra' to resist the corrosive killing intent, we probably would have..."

"Oh?" Bibi Dong's gaze instantly turned to Hu Bai.

Hu Bai nodded slightly, without saying much, but directly imprinted the complete incantation of the "Qingxin Jue" (a modified version of the mantra) into Bibi Dong's sea of ​​consciousness through spiritual transmission.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The sky was filled with changing colors!
Three enormous, dazzling beams of light, each a different color, suddenly tore through the clouds, descending with unparalleled precision like spears from the heavens, enveloping Hu Bai, Xie Yue, and Hu Liena within them!
Hu Bai was bathed in a beam of colorful light, and a vast, majestic, yet incredibly intimate message exploded in his mind!
[The Elemental God King's Fourth Trial: Conquer the Hell Road and temper your mind amidst carnage. Trial complete!]

[Rewards: Elemental God King affinity increased by 20%! One Divine Soul Ring awarded! Soul Power level increased by one level!] As the divine decree fell, Hu Bai felt a warm and boundless energy surge into his limbs and bones. His soul power bottleneck, which had held for two years without any progress, was instantly broken!

Level 75!

At the same time, his affinity with the Elemental God King officially reached 60%!

The Fifth Trial of the Elemental God King has officially begun!

[Mission Objective: Proceed to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest to find and unlock the site of the Thunder God's legacy!]

While Hu Bai was receiving the divine test reward, Xie Yue and Hu Liena were also facing a turning point in their fates within the other two pillars of light!

A purple beam of light, filled with an aura of destruction and annihilation, enveloped Xie Yue.

A dignified and indifferent voice echoed in his mind.

[Your will has been recognized by the God of Destruction. The protective spirit and fighting style you displayed on the Hell Road have initially met the standards for inheritance. The destructive power contained in your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is particularly outstanding.]

[Permission granted for the inheritance of the God of Destruction's throne!]

[The God of Destruction's First Trial: Traversing the Hell Road, tempering his mind amidst carnage. Trial complete!]

[Reward: 10% affinity with God of Destruction.]

[The God of Destruction's Second Trial: Shattering the Heart of Geng Metal!]

[The challenge: Within one year, travel to the ancient ruins of 'Puppet Valley' located in the western part of the Star Luo Empire, find and personally destroy the guardian core within—the 'Gengjin Puppet Heart'!]

On the other side, a pink beam of light exuding an extremely alluring aura completely enveloped Hu Liena.

A woman's voice, both alluring and sacred, gently echoed in her mind.

[Your charm has earned the approval of the God of Destruction. The control you displayed on the battlefield has begun to meet the standards for inheritance. The allure contained within your Martial Soul Fusion Skill is nothing short of perfect.]

[Permission granted for the inheritance of the God of Lust's throne!]

[The God of Lust's First Test: Traverse the Hellish Path and temper your mind amidst carnage. Test complete!]

[Reward: 10% affinity with the God of Lust.]

[The God of Lust's Second Test: The Heart of the Azure Sea!]

[Test Content: Within one year, travel to Tiandou City, the capital of the Tiandou Empire. Without using any force, persuade the chief knight guarding the royal treasury to willingly hand over the national treasure, the 'Vast Ocean Universe Cover,' to you.]

a long time.

The three beams of light slowly dissipated.

On the foreheads of Xie Yue and Hu Liena, a purple blade mark and a pink heart mark appeared respectively, emitting a faint divine light.

Led by Bibi Dong, Hu Bai and his companions traversed the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar streets of Wuhun City and returned to the magnificent Papal Palace.

Two years is but a fleeting moment for this immortal city. But for the three of them, it was a transformative metamorphosis.

When they left, they were the most dazzling geniuses of the Spirit Hall.

Upon their return, they were already future powerhouses, bearing the legacy of gods and having undergone trials of blood and fire.

“You three are all tired. Go back to your lodgings and get some rest for the night.”

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong looked at her three most outstanding disciples, her tone carrying a hint of gentleness that was barely perceptible.

"Don't rush into discussing the content of your divine test. Tomorrow, I will gather the elders to discuss and plan your next steps in your cultivation."

"Yes, teacher." The three bowed respectfully.

Meanwhile, deep within the Elders' Hall, in an elegant and sacred quiet room.

Qian Renxue was sitting cross-legged, meditating with her eyes closed.

She was enveloped in a faint golden light, sacred and inviolable. The trials of inheriting the angelic divine position were equally arduous and lengthy, and she had not slackened for a single day in the past two years.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock on the door of the quiet room.

"Miss." The respectful voice of Serpent Spear Douluo She Long came from outside the door, his tone carrying a hint of barely suppressed excitement.

Qian Renxue slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils calm: "What is it?"

"Miss!" She Long's voice was tinged with excitement. "His Highness the Holy Son... His Highness the Holy Son and the others are back! Just now, His Holiness the Pope personally brought them back to the Papal Palace!"

"!"

The expression on Qian Renxue's beautiful, calm face froze instantly.

The next moment, the holy golden light surrounding her vanished without a trace, like a candle flame blown away by the wind.

Those golden eyes, which were originally calm as still water, were instantly filled with joy, longing, and a hint of nervousness, like the anticipation of returning home.

He is back?

The boy she had been worried about for two whole years has finally returned safely from the city of slaughter.
Hu Liena & Xie Yue: What about the two of us?
"I understand. You may all leave."

Qian Renxue used all her strength to make her voice sound less trembling.

After confirming that the scent outside the door had faded away, she could no longer maintain the composure and dignity befitting an angel or goddess.

She almost stumbled to her feet from the prayer mat, not even having time to straighten her coat, before pushing open the door and quickly walking in one direction.

No, that's not walking.

It's flying!

︿(￣︶￣)︿

It's been two years.

More than seven hundred days and nights.

While undergoing the divine test, she was constantly thinking of that figure.

She worried that the living hell called "Slaughter City" might wear away his tenderness.

She feared that the endless killing might taint his pure, snow-white soul.

She would also imagine whether he had grown taller and broader.

Hu Bai's residence was spotless, just as it had been when he left two years ago.

He had just finished showering and changed into a clean white casual outfit. He was standing by the window, looking at the familiar scenery outside, quietly savoring this long-lost tranquility.

During those two years in the killing capital, he was constantly on high alert. Now, as he truly relaxed, he felt a weariness that came from the depths of his soul.

Just then, a slightly hurried sound of footsteps approached from afar.

He turned around and happened to see the figure that haunted his dreams, and pushed open the door.

When their eyes met, time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The girl before me had shed some of her youthful naiveté and blossomed into an even more beautiful and charming young woman.
