Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 185 Breakthrough to Contra Douluo, the Unyielding Auspicious Beast
After saying that, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion patted its behind and left.

It was as arrogant as a lion that had just finished pampering its harem of beauties, and it didn't forget to let out a soft snort.

Jiang Nian rested his chin on his hand, wondering why everyone in this world, whether human or spirit beast, seemed so dull and stupid.

I estimate that with a little trickery, I can completely deceive this auspicious beast.

However, he is not that kind of person.

I'll stop eating beef when I'm invincible.

“Shadow Lord…” Jiang Nian looked in the northwest direction, preparing to get up and continue his journey soon.

Having intelligence makes all the difference; there's no need to waste time wandering around aimlessly.

Those 100,000-year-old soul beasts aren't stupid; they'll generally stay in their own territories and won't go out. They'll also hide if they sense danger.

Without the information from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Jiang Nian estimated that he would have had to search for at least another half a month.

"Squeak." Little White consciously enlarged its body to let the two of them sit on it. It has to be said that having a mount is quite comfortable, as you don't have to walk yourself.

Half an hour later.

Jiang Nian and Qing Yu tried their best to conceal their presence as they observed the dark cave in front of them.

"Squeak." Little White sniffed the air, looking somewhat excited.

Looks like we've found it.

"You tremble with fear at the sight of a ten-thousand-year-old auspicious beast, yet you show no fear whatsoever of a hundred-thousand-year-old shadowy lord..."

Xiao Bai scratched his head awkwardly, asking, "Can a 100,000-year-old soul beast compare to an auspicious beast?"
That kind of existence concerns the fate of all the soul beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest. Anyone who dares to touch it will surely meet their death.

Jiang chuckled lightly, without refuting Xiaobai's point of view.

Auspicious beasts are indeed too special; a 15,000-year-old one can be compared to a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

I can't imagine what it will be like when it reaches 100,000 years.

Jiang Nian put aside his thoughts and prepared himself for battle.

Although he had an ally comparable to the Red King, he had to be careful in everything he did on someone else's territory.

Rumble!
Thick dark clouds covered the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and in the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began.

The floodwaters rushed toward the cave, and soon a roar came from inside.

Jiang Nian gripped the Heavenly Dao Umbrella and quietly watched the cave entrance, waiting for the Shadow Demon Lord to emerge.

Lightning flashed across the sky, and arcs of purplish-black lightning struck the surrounding trees, instantly turning them to ashes.

dong dong dong~
The earth trembled.

Jiang Nian narrowed his eyes and saw a head pop out.

"Jingzhe!"

The lightning struck swiftly, instantly electrifying the Shadow Demon King's massive head, causing it to roar in pain as it looked up to the sky.

Qingyu tossed her hair and quickly dodged away.

She calmly looked at the fierce-looking Shadow Lord in front of her, and then threw a punch.

boom!
Half of the hill was destroyed.

Its body flew backward rapidly, smashing through countless trees that blocked out the sky.

Little White stood obediently on the tree branch, cheering them on. Jiang Nian didn't give it a chance to react; its sixth spirit ring gently emitted a bright light.

"Time to stop!"

Dark Shadow Lord froze instantly, staring with his bloodthirsty eyes at Jiang Nian and the other person with resentment.

Qingyu has a very strong physique. Don't be fooled by her gentle and weak appearance. In fact, even a titled Douluo can't withstand her punch.

"Dragon Fist!"

A beam of azure light emanated from her fist and slammed it hard into the back of Shadow King.

duang!

The ground sank in by nearly three meters, and the surrounding trees were snapped by the force, leaving the area within a kilometer radius bare.

The time stop ends.

The Shadow King suddenly felt an immense pain in its spine; its body felt as if it were about to break, and its hind legs could no longer sense its presence.

Its pupils contracted and dilated as it stared in terror at the long-haired man in front of it, who was holding a silver sword. His pupils flashed with purple and red light.

The sword in his hand was also covered with a layer of lightning arcs and flames.

With a single, swift stroke, Jiang Nian illuminated the entire dark night. The rain stopped falling, instead tinged with the crimson glow of the sunset.

"Roar!"

Shadow King tried desperately to dodge, but his body, already crippled, was unable to avoid the attack and could only watch helplessly as the sword energy severed his body.

Some 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest turned their attention to the northwest, and couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

At the same time, upon seeing the sword mark in the sky that illuminated half the forest, a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

Tonight, the darkness seems to have a touch of light.

As the three-eyed golden lion prepared to return to the Lake of Life, it looked up and a hint of shock flashed in its golden eyes.

Jiang Nian, who isn't even a Contra Master, actually managed to do this?!

If it had fought that guy back then, even the Crimson King would probably have suffered a crushing defeat...

"Humans... are really lucky..." A hint of envy flashed in the Crimson King's eyes.

Compared to spirit beasts, it is relatively easier for humans to become gods.

In his view, Jiang Nian is likely destined to become a god in the future.

"Actually, if the two of you really fought, that kid probably wouldn't be a match for you."

The three-eyed golden lion snorted softly and said indifferently, "I know."

With that, it turned and walked toward the Lake of Life without looking back.

······
Here.

Jiang Nian exhausted most of his soul power with a single sword strike, and unsurprisingly, he killed Jiang Nian.

A red soul ring appeared on the corpse of Shadow Lord, and, drawn by his soul power, began to attach itself to the Heavenly Umbrella.

Qingyu and Xiaobai stood around him to protect him and prevent any soul beasts from launching a sneak attack.

This was the first time Xiaobai had ever witnessed its master being so powerful, and its eyes filled with admiration as it excitedly ran around him.

In the end, he was kicked dozens of meters away by Qingyu.

"Be quiet."

Little White felt like he was seeing stars, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

"Squeak~"

After a moment, Xiaobai patted the mouse's head, thinking about the scene just now when Jiang Nian's Heavenly Dao Umbrella turned into the Heavenly Dao Sword.

When holding an umbrella, it is as warm and smooth as jade.

When he drew his sword, a chilling aura of killing intent emanated from him.

It never imagined that a martial soul could change forms. This thing is really tricky!
Gradually, Jiang Nian successfully absorbed the spirit ring of the Shadow Demon Lord.

Without hesitation, let's see what kind of soul bone it dropped.

"Right arm bone..."

Jiang Nian took a deep breath and began to absorb the nutrients.

Now his soul bones are almost complete, only the torso bone is missing.

Perhaps I can obtain it when I break through the title barrier.

Jiang Nian closed his eyes and got back into focus, while Qing Yu stood quietly, watching the gazes cast upon her from the shadows.

Some of them are fifty or sixty thousand years old.

There are even soul beasts that are 100,000 years old.

However, faced with her imposing aura, the soul beasts who knew they were no match for her silently left, and soon there were no more soul beasts coveting her in the darkness.

Jiang Nian didn't open his eyes until it was daylight.

"Phew, that felt good."

Now, his soul power is at level 83, and his physical attributes are even stronger than those of a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

He is now a human-shaped beast king.

However, he will probably still be at a disadvantage against Xiaoqing.

He still vividly remembers how he smashed half of Shadow Lord's body with a single punch.
