Douluo Continent: Azure Dragon Slays Evil, Qilin Suppresses the World

After the two flew out of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xuan Qing suddenly spoke.

"Purple Princess, put me down. I want to see this world properly."

Zi Ji nodded, slowly descended, and then took out a ring from her bosom.

"Senior, this is what Di Tian asked me to pass on. It's all just mundane items that we soul beasts don't need, so I'd rather give it to you."

Xuan Qing took the ring and probed it with his spiritual power. Good heavens, it was truly amazing.

The space inside wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either; it was filled with countless gold soul coins, like a small mountain.

There were also dozens of soul bones, neatly piled in the corner. Although they were not very old, the strongest was only 20,000 years old.

However, a soul bone is a soul bone; if it were left outside, it would be a Blood River treasure capable of causing a major war.

Di Tian is a good person; he's really generous when it comes to things! I'll have to help him evolve his bloodline eventually.

Xuanqing suddenly recalled the majestic and grand voice of the Azure Dragon.

[The Third Trial of the Azure Dragon God: Questioning the Heart in the Mortal World.]

[Assessment Time: Unlimited.]

[Reward: One Azure Dragon exclusive spirit ring.]

Before he could react, another voice rang out, this time from the Qilin God, majestic yet benevolent.

[The Second Trial of the Qilin God: Questioning the Heart in the Mortal World.]

[Assessment Time: Unlimited.]

[Reward: Immunity from the five signs of decay in humans and gods.]

Xuan Qing was stunned. Both sides were being tested on the same thing? It was the same thing: questioning the heart in the mortal world? What did that mean?

Before he could figure it out, Zi Ji asked, "Senior, where do we go next?"

Xuan Qing snapped out of her reverie and shook her head: "I don't know, let's just wander around and see where we end up."

The two walked aimlessly from noon until evening, the setting sun casting long shadows.

As darkness fell, flames suddenly appeared in the distance, thick smoke billowed up, and screams filled the air.

Xuan Qing's expression changed, and he immediately sped up and rushed over, with Zi Ji following closely behind him.

Xuan Qing's heart tightened at the sight before him: the village was burning, and dozens of men in black were slaughtering the villagers.

They exuded an evil aura and had crazed eyes.

Evil Soul Master!

Do not!

This era should be called the Fallen Ones; even though the Spirit Hall has been constantly cracking down on them, there are bound to be some who slip through the net.

These thirty-odd people were all of high level; the weakest was a second-ring Great Soul Master, there were two Soul Kings, and the leader was a Soul Emperor.

The villagers screamed and ran away, but they couldn't escape. The ground was already covered with countless corpses, and the blood stained the earth red.

Xuan Qing was a little angry. He didn't know why he felt so angry when he saw this scene, and there was a fire burning in his heart.

"Zi Ji, cover my retreat. Don't let a single one escape."

Zi Ji nodded and stepped aside. She knew that Xuan Qing had to understand this matter.

Xuan Qing took a deep breath, his martial spirit possessed him, and the phantom of a blue dragon appeared behind him, roaring to the sky.

His arms instantly transformed into dragon claws covered in cyan scales, with three spirit rings—one yellow, one purple, and one black—swirling around him.

The leading Soul Emperor grinned when he saw Xuan Qing.

"Another one coming to die, kid! Are you even fully grown yet? Coming here to die already."

Xuan Qing ignored him and directly activated his first soul skill: "Azure Scale Rain".

The sky instantly became overcast, and large raindrops fell, covering the entire village. Xuan Qing controlled the rain to heal the villagers who were still alive, while frantically drawing soul power from the fallen to replenish himself.

The Soul Emperor in the lead changed his expression. He felt his soul power draining away, not quickly, but definitely decreasing.

"You little brat, you're asking for it!"

He roared and pounced on Xuan Qing, with six spirit rings—two yellow, two purple, and two black—appearing behind him.

The other two Soul Kings also moved, and the three of them formed a triangle, surrounding Xuan Qing in the middle.

Xuan Qing's second soul ring lit up: "Azure Dragon Sacred Body".

All attributes increased by 100%! His physical strength and speed surged, but he didn't stop; his spirit rings lit up again.

A second layer has been added! All attributes are increased by 200%!

The third spirit ring then lit up: "Azure Dragon Undying Body!"

All attributes are increased by another 200%! With two layers stacked, it increases by another 400%.

Xuan Qing's base attributes are now six times stronger than before! He feels his whole body is filled with explosive power.

"kill!"

Xuan Qing roared, ignoring the three of them, and charged straight into the crowd, his dragon claws slashing out, creating a whooshing sound.

Before the powerful Soul Master in front could react, he was torn to shreds by the dragon's claws, blood splattering everywhere and staining the rain red.

Another person tried to launch a sneak attack from the side, but just as he activated his soul skill, Xuan Qing turned around and kicked out, breaking his ribs.

The man was sent flying backward, crashing into half of the earthen wall. He twitched twice and then died completely.

They panicked. They never expected this child to be so fierce. He was a ruthless killer, even more like a demon than they were!

The leading Soul Emperor shouted.

"Attack together! This kid's weird, don't let him fight one-on-one."

More than thirty people rushed over at the same time, using a variety of soul skills, including sword flashes, flames, and ice spikes, all aimed at Xuan Qing.

Xuan Qing neither dodged nor evaded, but charged straight in, triggering the passive effect of the Azure Dragon Undying Body, which reflected 50% of the damage.

Those who attacked him coughed up blood first, while Xuan Qing was also injured, but he was healed instantly.

He became increasingly frenzied as he fought, each swing of his dragon claw drawing blood, and the Fallen fell one after another, screaming in agony.

The two Soul Kings found an opportunity and attacked from the left and right. The Soul King on the left had a giant wolf as his martial soul, and his claws gleamed with a cold light.

The Soul King's Martial Soul on the right is a large sword with sharp, fierce blade energy.

Xuanqing dodged the wolf's claws by sidestepping, but was slashed in the shoulder by the knife. Blood gushed out, but it healed in the next second.

He turned and threw a punch. It slammed into the giant wolf soul king's chest with a loud bang, shattering his sternum and sending him flying backward, spitting blood.

The Greatsword Soul King swung his sword, aiming straight for Xuan Qing's neck. Xuan Qing raised his hand to block, and the dragon claw collided with the greatsword, sparks flying.

He swung his sword down again, but Xuan Qing suddenly changed his move, taking a step back. His sword slammed into the ground, sending shards of stone flying.

Xuan Qing delivered a spinning kick to the head of the Great Sword Soul King, sending him flying and spitting out a mouthful of blood in mid-air.

The leading Soul Emperor finally made his move; his martial soul was a giant wild boar, its body bulging with muscles.

His sixth spirit ring shone with a brilliant black light.

He charged at me like a chariot, his momentum astonishing. Xuan Qing was knocked back more than ten steps, his chest tight.

Before they could recover, two Soul Kings pounced on them. Although they were injured, they were still able to fight.

The three worked together seamlessly, forcing Xuan Qing into a series of retreats.

With a thought, Xuan Qing summoned the Azure Sky Demon-Slaying Spear in his hand. He twirled the spear and pointed the tip at the three of them.

"Come!"

He charged forward and thrust his spear at the Wild Boar Soul Emperor. The Soul Emperor's fourth soul ring lit up, and he donned a layer of armor.

But the armor was pierced through directly. The Azure Sky Demon-Slaying Spear's effect of ignoring defense was triggered, and the spear tip pierced the shoulder, causing blood to spurt out.

"Ahhh!"

After the Soul Emperor screamed in agony, his face turned deathly pale. Xuan Qing pursued him again, his spear thrusting like a dragon, each strike cunning and ruthless, forcing the three of them into a frantic struggle.

The three realized something was wrong; their soul power was almost depleted.

Canglin Yuze had been drawing soul power from them. They had been fighting for so long, but the three of them hadn't been within the area for very long. Even so, they were almost completely drained.

"withdraw!"

The Soul Emperor immediately realized that if they continued fighting, they would be worn down to death.

Xuan Qing did not move, but a grayish-white aura appeared behind him.

The Qilin reappeared in its adult form, radiating nine-colored light, with majestic eyes and an aura of terror.

The Qilin roared to the sky, its voice shaking the surrounding area, and its nine-colored light shone brightly.

"Qilin Stepping on the Heavens Seal!"

This is the true power of heaven and earth, with heaven as its seal, suppressing and killing everything.

The sky seemed to collapse, enveloping the three of them; they wanted to run but couldn't.

"No--"

The Soul Emperor roared in fury and struggled desperately, but to no avail; the pressure grew stronger and stronger.

boom--!!!

The sky really pressed down, and that space collapsed, crushing the three of them into a bloody pulp.

The remaining fallen ones were all eliminated by Violet.

Xuan Qing was panting heavily, covered in blood, some from enemies and some from himself.

He looked at the surviving villagers.

"Hurry up and leave. Just because I can save you once doesn't mean I can save you a second time."

The villagers, realizing what had happened, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you so much, our benefactor! Thank you so much, our benefactor!"

They helped the wounded to their feet and escorted them away, quickly disappearing into the night as they headed towards the nearest town.

After the villagers had gone far away, Xuanqing plopped down on the ground, lay down, and stared blankly at the night sky.

His feelings are very complicated right now, really complicated. Before, when someone offended him in Soul Hunter Town, he could have just pulled out the Qilin Seal and smashed the person to death.

At the time, I really didn't have any psychological burden, because this world is a dog-eat-dog world.

But seeing the Fallen Ones slaughter the villagers this time, anger welled up in his heart. It was real anger, and even after killing them all, the rage in his heart could not be suppressed.

Xuanqing chuckled.

"A question to the heart in this mortal world? Is that how it is? Are you trying to see what choice I will make?"
