Douluo Continent: The Peerless Tang Sect, Angels and Rakshasa Return

Chapter 166—The Ultimate Being Abandons Thinking

"Ouch, Senior Sister, use your 100,000-year-old soul skill when you need to! Don't hold back! You can't hurt me if you hold back!"

As they chatted and laughed, Qian Lingyun's fifth soul ring faintly rose for a moment, but she suppressed it again.

She felt that sparing Zhang Lexuan's life wasn't out of the question, after all... a 24-year-old Soul Douluo, with that kind of talent, would rank among the best in the entire Douluo Continent.

Besides, since a fight has already broken out, arresting Tang Ya is one thing, but arresting Zhang Lexuan is another.

As we all know, there are five people among the Four Heavenly Kings, so it's not particularly outrageous that the Holy Spirit Sect has four Holy Maidens, right?

"Fine, if you can withstand this move, then I've lost."

The moonlight swirled, and the surrounding air twisted and shattered violently. A ring of absolute darkness and vacuum formed around this silver moon.

The figure that rose into the air stood before the silver moon, making a strange hand gesture. On her body, the last of the three, a blood-red halo, was slowly rising.

The silver moon was gradually stained by the blood-red light, turning into a blood moon.

A 100,000-year-old soul skill: Blood Moon Eclipse!

Blood splattered everywhere, and in an instant, the world changed color.

Even the titled Douluos in Shrek City felt the sudden fluctuation of soul power.

As the beam of blood shot out, the air seemed to evaporate completely in an instant.

"You're really serious!" Qian Lingyun shook her head helplessly. Her sixth soul ring had just lit up with a brilliant blood-red light when it went silent again.

Yes, the fact that Qian Lingyun was unable to activate her sixth spirit ring with her current strength truly shocked her.

It should be noted that although she is only at the seventh-ring Soul Saint realm, her total soul power is already comparable to that of a low-level Title Douluo, and its quality is beyond question.

What she lacks in terms of the number of soul rings and the so-called soul core is nothing more than the number of soul rings.

"Could it be... that I need to condense a soul core at the seventh ring to activate my sixth soul skill? Snow Empress, your soul skills truly bring me surprises!"

With a long sigh, Qian Lingyun, unable to use her sixth soul skill, had no choice but to settle for second best. Her fifth soul ring shone brightly, and a faint thread wrapped around the blood-red light released by Zhang Lexuan.

"Fifth Soul Skill - Eternal Creation!"

Two gray-green light waves, carrying endless darkness and deathly silence, flew towards the blood-red light.

Its movement was so slow that it appeared to be stationary in mid-air, yet it was also incredibly swift, colliding with the blood-red light in the blink of an eye.

With a deafening boom, the semi-transparent spherical soul power shockwave dissipated from the center of the soul skill collision. The intense and chilling energy flow instantly leveled the forest below, and even the soil on the ground was turned upside down by the rampaging soul power.

Several streaks of light rose one after another within Shrek Academy. The leading golden streak of light paused in mid-air, seemingly astonished by the mushroom cloud that shot into the sky.

"I withstood this attack." Qian Lingyun rose into the air again, staring intently at Zhang Lexuan. Her lips parted slightly, and she said softly, "You lost. Can you tell me now?"

"Yes, you won." Zhang Lexuan nodded, looking at Qian Lingyun with a complicated expression, and said wistfully, "In less than half a year, you've gone from three rings to seven. Do you need my cultivation tips?"

"My cultivation method cannot be replicated, but your method of breaking through to level 80 at the age of twenty-three or twenty-four may be... a reference for others."

"Actually, most people can't refer to my cultivation method," Zhang Lexuan said, a bitter look flashing across her face. She released a burst of soul power, seemingly to prevent outsiders from hearing her voice.

"When I was in the seventh ring, Elder Mu gave me a 100,000-year-old soul bone that he had obtained back then. That soul bone directly increased my soul power by three levels, which is why I was able to break through to level 80 at the age of 23."

"That soul bone also enhanced my physique at that time, allowing me to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring with great difficulty when I was at the eighth ring."

"Even so, it took me more than half a year to barely recover."

My God, old man Moon won't leave his soul bones to his descendants...

Qian Lingyun was about to exclaim in surprise when she realized what was happening.

That's true. He has three 100,000-year soul rings, which means he also has three 100,000-year soul bones. He gave one to Zhang Lexuan, his childhood sweetheart, and he probably absorbed the other two himself. When he passes away, he can give them to his descendants.

"So, you actually possess two 100,000-year-old soul bones," Qian Lingyun said, squinting at Zhang Lexuan for a moment before nodding. "Then, it makes sense. Without further ado, come with me!"

"What did you say? Go with you?" Zhang Lexuan was slightly taken aback and said incredulously, "I did lose, but this is Shrek City. I only need to hold them off for a while, and a Title Douluo powerhouse will come to support me."

With that, Zhang Lexuan frowned angrily and said, "You'd better leave now while they're not here!"

"What a joke! Senior Sister Lexuan, you've seen my true colors, do you think I'd let you go?"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun's smile vanished, and her long, flowing hair beneath her cloak transformed into countless red-eyed snakes. She slowly raised a dusty, hexagonal iron plaque with her right hand and sneered, "I'm giving you one last chance. Come with me, or go reincarnate."

Faced with this strange iron plate, she did not make a move immediately. Instead, the silver moon sank down and fell back to the ground.

In an instant, a chill ran from Zhang Lexuan's tailbone all the way to the top of her head. In that instant, she felt as if she had returned to that night of blood and fire that she still did not want to recall. Fear and panic filled her heart.

On the surface of the iron plate, a strange snake appeared. The snake twisted its body, its entire body was grayish-black, and its tongue was huge, located in the center of the iron plate. And at that moment, its eyes opened.

"What is this thing..." Zhang Lexuan stood stiffly in place, the oppressive and suffocating feeling pressing down on her nerves.

She felt every vein and every inch of her skin stiffening, as if... as if she were turning from a living person into stone.

"This is a divine artifact! Do you still want to fight against it?" Qian Lingyun asked with a smile as she activated the Soul-Capturing Tablet. She kept her strength under control, afraid that she might accidentally turn Zhang Lexuan into stone.

"Let me tell you a secret. With the help of this artifact, I can turn your body into stone while leaving your soul intact. Then, you'll be trapped inside a stone statue made from your own flesh, perhaps for thousands of years, or perhaps forever..."

"You can see everything outside from inside the stone, but you can't hear the sounds outside, and no one can hear your voice."

"You will remain inside the statue until your soul perishes..."

Qian Lingyun is very good at telling horror stories, especially when the other person knows nothing about her.

Under the influence of the Soul Skill "Beyond the Dream," Zhang Lexuan, whose mental strength is suppressed, is more easily guided by her words, thus experiencing hallucinations and falling into fear.

As they chatted and laughed, Zhang Lexuan conjured up a picture in her mind of a dark, cramped prison cell with only a small window through which she could vaguely see the outside scenery.

She could only curl up in the darkness, unable to move, forever…

"Stop!" Zhang Lexuan finally gave in. She wasn't afraid of death, but what Qian Lingyun described was too terrifying. Even the most cruel torture couldn't compare to the exile that would last until the end of time.

Overwhelmed by that intense sense of oppression, she even forgot to run away, and could only scream with her last bit of strength through tears, "I'll go with you."

"Why didn't you do this sooner? Trust me, as long as you follow me, you'll be well-fed nine times out of three."

Seeing the pain and helplessness on Zhang Lexuan's face, Qian Lingyun's body inexplicably trembled.

She patted her slightly numb, flushed cheeks in confusion, and then, as if suddenly realizing something, she seemed to understand the strange changes that had happened to her.

(Besides Huo Yuhao, the Chosen One, and Tang Wutong, the fusion remnant, those with stronger talents than Zhang Lexuan in Douluo Continent II are only Xiao Hongchen, who is 23 years old and at level 87, and the two sisters, the Soul of Vengeance, who awakened their martial souls to Soul Douluo within ten years.)
