Douluo Continent: Reversing Yin and Yang, the Haotian Palace and the Angel Sect

How could a sea spirit beast possibly fall out of thin air in Sunset Forest?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, but the next moment, Qian San, Franya and the others instantly realized that it was that senior who had made the move.

Looking at the soul beast on the ground whose attributes matched his, Niu Lanjun's eyes turned red with excitement. He immediately bent both knees and kowtowed heavily to the dark night sky around him.

"Thank you for your guidance, senior!" Niu Lanjun said in a loud voice.

In the shadows of the tree canopy, Huang Tian made no sound, simply leaning quietly against a branch, closing his eyes to rest again.

Niu Lanjun did not waste this rare opportunity.

He took a deep breath, drew his dagger from behind, and strode towards the sea beast. With a swift movement, the dagger precisely pierced the jade pig's neck.

Sapphire-like blood overflowed, and the Jade Pig gradually stopped struggling.

With a hum, a purple millennium soul ring slowly floated out from its corpse.

Niu Lanjun immediately sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and used his soul power to guide the purple soul ring.

Half an hour passed.

Thanks to his Water Phoenix Martial Soul's natural affinity for the ultimate water attribute, the entire absorption process was unexpectedly smooth. When the last wisp of purple light completely entered Niu Lanjun's body, he opened his eyes, and a flash of azure light passed through his eyes.

The Water Phoenix Martial Soul behind him let out a clear cry, and the fluctuations of its soul power remained steadily at level thirty-two.

"We did it!" Niu Lanjun stood up excitedly.

"How does it feel? What skills did you gain?" Ossun quickly came over and asked.

Niu Lanjun extended his right hand, and with a thought, the newly acquired purple third spirit ring beneath his feet shone brightly. Immediately afterward, a layer of light blue, semi-transparent water, like flowing crystal, instantly spread out from him, enveloping an area of ​​several meters in radius.

This skill is called [Azure Phoenix Domain].

This is a domain-specific control and amplification skill.

Within the range of this [Azure Phoenix Domain], all teammates will receive a layer of fluid water armor, which can automatically deflect 30% of physical and energy impacts, and the energy will continuously cleanse the meridians and dispel all negative statuses.

For the enemy, the air in this area becomes as viscous as the deep sea, and every step they take is subject to water pressure resistance, which can even restrict their vision and breathing.

After demonstrating his soul skill, Niu Lanjun withdrew his soul power. As his martial soul subsided, the serene and detached aura he exuded, brought about by the cleansing of the Water Phoenix, became even more pronounced.

He walked up to Qian San, put his hands together, and bowed slightly in greeting.

"Benefactor Qian San, the cycle of cause and effect is real; I will remember this act of kindness."

Qian San was a little uncomfortable with his meditative demeanor. He scratched his head awkwardly and waved his hand, saying, "Why are you thanking me? I didn't capture this soul beast. I didn't do anything."

Niu Lanjun straightened up and quietly looked at Qian San, saying, "Everything in this world has its destiny. Those two seniors who secretly protected me came because of you. If you weren't there, this soul beast would have no connection with me. Since this cause and effect originated from you, I will accept your kindness."

Qian San chuckled somewhat awkwardly, then stepped forward and patted Niu Lanjun on the shoulder with his right hand: "Alright, we're a team. Since we're all partners, there's no need to worry about these things. Your improved strength benefits our entire team."

Seeing this scene, Franya, Ossun, Yu Rongrong, and the others standing to the side all wore genuine smiles. The atmosphere in the entire camp was wonderful at this moment.

However, amidst this peaceful atmosphere, Zhu Muhei, standing alone in the corner, had an even more gloomy look in his eyes.

He stared intently at the hand that Qian San had patted on Niu Lanjun's shoulder, his hands, hidden in his sleeves, clenched into fists, his nails digging into his flesh.

For Zhu Muhei, the trust and warmth of the companionship he was experiencing was like the most dazzling sunlight. It not only failed to warm him, but instead corroded his already distorted self-esteem like acid.

"Partner... what a disgusting word," Zhu Muhei thought coldly to himself. What others saw as wonderful was, to him, more like a disguised mockery and the greatest cruelty.

He took a deep breath and once again completely hid himself in the shadows where the campfire couldn't reach.

……

After the celebration, everyone returned to their respective tents to rest.

Qian San was lying in his sleeping bag, and had only been there for less than half an hour.

Suddenly, that familiar voice echoed in his mind again without warning.

"Mistress, come here."

Qian San opened his eyes. Without any hesitation, he immediately slipped out of the tent quietly and followed the direction indicated by the sound, quickly walking towards the dense forest on the other side of the camp.

At this moment, Huang Tian, ​​who was hidden in the canopy of a towering tree a hundred meters away, opened his eyes the instant Qian Xunji stepped into this area.

She sensed that familiar presence and realized that after Qian Xunji returned from Tiandou City, he hadn't even greeted her before running off to find his son.

Huang Tian pouted slightly in dissatisfaction, but she wasn't really angry. She turned over to find a more comfortable position and continued to hang on the tree branch, closing her eyes to rest.

Deep in the forest, moonlight cast a silvery glow on a clearing.

Qian San strode over and, upon seeing the tall, masked figure from behind, immediately bowed respectfully: "Father, you've returned."

Qian Xunji turned around, looked at her son, and nodded slightly behind her mask: "Not bad."

Without further ado, Qian Xunji pulled out the [Angel Soul Shield] from his pocket.

The soul shield was different from before.

The light that had been shimmering inside had completely disappeared, replaced by a steady and gentle platinum-gold glow.

All the independent consciousness and remaining memories in the divine thought of the Kind God King of the Inner Realm had been completely erased by the pure angelic divine power in the past, leaving only this purest source of kindness.

Qian Xunji handed the ever-shining orb of light to Qian San and said in a deep voice:

"Next. Inside is the essence of a benevolent god-king whose consciousness has been completely erased. Your soul power has now reached level forty-nine. Now try to guide it, absorb it, and integrate this power into your body."

Looking at his somewhat shocked son, Qian Xunji continued, "After this, using this power as a catalyst, you must try to obtain and complete the true test of the benevolent God-King in this outer realm. Do you understand?"
