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

Chapter 338, 364-366—The God King's Triple Strike: Evil Soul Beast! Unforgivable by Heaven! A Path to Death!

"Since you've said it this way, I won't refuse."

"I can help with this, but you have to guarantee my safety! If you can guarantee my safety, then your godmother won't mind going with you!"

For some reason, Luo Li trusted her goddaughter completely, and almost inexplicably, she agreed to this request that she would never have agreed to before.

"Godmother, you're being too polite. We're like family! Would I ever harm you?" Qian Lingyun said, her dark red eyes lowered, as she made a boastful promise to Luo Li.

"We'll just wander around Shrek Academy for a bit. If there's any trouble, we'll just drop the bomb and run. Unless a true god descends, even if a Limit Douluo makes a move, we can still escape!"

"You really are... honest..."

Silently curving her lips into a smile, Luo Li couldn't help but give Qian Lingyun a thumbs up, then praised Yuma, who was watching the commotion, "Our daughter is capable of great things!"

"Of course! Look who her daughter is!"

Yuma was overjoyed whenever her daughter was mentioned!

However, this is understandable.

If you had a future empress as your daughter—a thirteen-year-old Soul Saint, a fourteen-year-old Soul Douluo, and who could easily defeat a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast across levels!

You're definitely in a better mood than Yuma!

After Madam Luo Li completely 'stitched' Cai Meier's skin, Yuma took her to a secluded place to absorb the Soul Bone Set and took the opportunity to try to condense a Soul Core!

Perhaps because Madam Luo Li wasn't a picky eater when she was young, she already had four of the six soul bones in her body when she was very young.

Among them, there was only one soul bone that was over 10,000 years old; the rest were all soul bones of very ordinary quality.

The mediocre quality of her soul bone indirectly limited Luo Li's talent to level 85.

For a full five years! During those five years, her cultivation had not progressed at all, but now, thanks to her goddaughter's filial piety, she had broken through this barrier by using these strange soul bones.

The fact that there are no extra soul bone slots means that she no longer needs soul bones.

Since time is tight and there is no special need for a soul bone, she can just find a soul beast that is over 50,000 years old to make up for her godmother's ninth soul ring, that should be enough!

With that thought, Qian Lingyun unfurled five pairs of dark purple angel wings and quickly disappeared above the dense clouds!

When she landed again, she was back in the central area of ​​the Demon Forest.

"How dare you! To attempt to oppress and enslave other soul beasts is utterly outrageous!"

"Evil Soul Beast! Behold my Blue Silver Wrap!"

Following the example of a certain god-king, Qian Lingyun squatted down, picked up a handful of blue silver grass from the ground, and threw it at the unlucky soul beast catching fish by the lake.

Before the blue silver grass could even reach the soul beast, it was scattered in mid-air by a gentle breeze.

The bewildered two-headed Cyclops stared at the human in front of him, muttering something unintelligible, and couldn't help but scratch his bald head!

Seeing this, Qian Lingyun acted even more vividly. She took a deep breath, pointed at the half-eaten fish in the twin giants' hands, and shouted loudly:

"Evil Soul Beast, if you dare to eat fish today, you'll dare to eat people tomorrow! The day after tomorrow you'll destroy the world! You're simply courting death!"

Twin Giants: "Aba aba aba aba aba aba?! (Is this human crazy? Don't spirit beasts eat?!)"

"Hey! Why aren't you angry?!" Qian Lingyun grumbled, looking at the two-headed soul beast with dissatisfaction.

"This spirit beast is quite clever! It knew that the person who quoted my lines earlier wasn't a good person! It didn't fall for it!"

"Forget it, his cultivation level is so low anyway, and he's not someone I need to find, so I'll let him live!"

After speaking, Qian Lingyun laughed and left the small lake, leaving the two bewildered cyclops holding half a fish in their hands, not knowing what to do next!

As they continued deeper into the forest, the variety of spirit beasts they encountered became increasingly scarce, often appearing only once every great distance.

Even so, these soul beasts were not at the level of the 50,000-year-old soul beasts that Qian Lingyun needed.

After an unknown amount of time, Qian Lingyun suddenly stopped in her tracks. A smile played on her lips as she turned and walked off in one direction.

"Angel's Scream!"

A ring of pale white light spread outwards in all directions from Qian Lingyun in the form of sound waves.

Wherever the sound waves passed, the slightly distorted light and shadow around them shattered like a broken mirror.

"Very well. Interesting human. No wonder you dared to enter our territory alone. So you are skilled in mental abilities. It seems you intend to hunt down my people. Too bad. Even if you are a mental-attribute Soul Master, you are doomed today."

Everything around her returned to normal. Qian Lingyun instantly pinpointed the direction from which the voice came using her mental detection.

Turning around, when Qian Lingyun saw the source of the words, her eyes narrowed and her expression instantly turned strange.

It was an evil eye, a strange and powerful evil eye.

The body of this evil eye, or rather its enormous single eye, is silver-white.

Judging from the mental confusion skills it used before, this guy is probably related to the old monster at the bottom of the Demon Forest.

Moreover, judging from this guy's fluctuations, it goes without saying that he is a standard 100,000-year-old soul beast!

If nothing unexpected happens, this thing should be the one that Huo Yuhao unfortunately encountered later.

As long as you kill this small eye, the big eye underground will unleash a beautiful death ray from dozens of kilometers away, blasting you to smithereens!

Currently, there are still some transactions between the Holy Spirit Cult and the Big Eyeball Cult.

Thinking that she was quite comfortable living at the current Holy Spirit Cult headquarters, Qian Lingyun had no plans to move.

Since that's the case, there's no need to fight this guy to the death!

"Don't fire! Honey, we're on the same side! On the same side!" Qian Lingyun pulled out a handkerchief and flaunted it at 'small eyes' in an extremely seductive manner!

"What do you mean, 'our own people'?! What are you talking about?"

The small-eyed creature's eyes showed a clear hint of surprise. Out of politeness, it touched its bald head with its tentacles and asked, "Could it be that you're a member of the Holy Spirit Cult?!"

"Yes, yes, that's me! I'm the new leader of the Holy Spirit Cult!"

As she spoke, Qian Lingyun flashed her soul ring without hesitation.

Four black and four red, with two of the red spirit rings having several gold stripes on them.

How could someone with the 100,000-year-old Evil Eye, who excels in mental power, be a naive fool?

When he realized that Qian Lingyun's strength far surpassed his own, his tone became kind and amiable:

"Wow! So you're the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult! My apologies! I was just passing by, I won't keep you from your stroll!"

"Hahaha! My apologies! Don't worry, I only hunt 'evil' soul beasts!" Qian Lingyun continued her performance, but the Evil Eye Tyrant's expression became very strange. It said:

"We soul beasts only live by the law of the jungle; there's no such thing as evil or not!"

"Excuse my bluntness, but only a foolish hypocrite would set standards for evil and non-evil for us soul beasts!"

"Yes! Absolutely right! You've said it perfectly!"

Upon hearing that a soul beast had volunteered to share its experience, Qian Lingyun clapped her hands in emotion and exclaimed excitedly:

"That's right, absolutely right! Those who label spirit beasts as evil are fucking hypocrites! Bastards! They're ugly maggots accidentally born from nature!"

"Huh?!" The Evil-Eyed Tyrant exclaimed, "6!"

"Alright, it's a pleasure to meet you all today! Farewell!"

After another round of mutual flattery, Evil Eye Tyrant and Qian Lingyun said their goodbyes and went their separate ways.

Xie Yan went back to sleep with his concubine, while Qian Lingyun searched for a soul beast for her godmother.

After wandering around the core area of ​​the Demon Forest for quite some time, Qian Lingyun, who suffers from decision-making phobia, finally found a 60,000-year-old soul beast making a baby in a corner.

The situation at the time was roughly like this:

The spirit beast and its mate were engaged in the complex process of procreation on its favorite large rock.

Qian Lingyun swaggered in, sat down twenty meters away from them, stared straight at them, and even took out an hourglass to time them!

What the hell is this?!

Can this thing still be done if someone is watching?

With over 60,000 years of cultivation, the Lightning Rabbit solved its problem with lightning speed, appearing before Qian Lingyun at an astonishing pace, dragging its pig-sized body.

The sand falling into the hourglass has only just touched the bottom!

"Wow! Lightning Rabbit really is as fast as lightning!"

Qian Lingyun closed her eyes and chuckled softly, tilting her head to dodge the lightning rabbit's claws that were swinging at her.

All I heard was a sizzling sound!

On the big tree that Qian Lingyun was leaning against, four scratches, each half a foot deep, could be clearly seen!

"Is that all you've got?" Qian Lingyun touched the claw marks on the tree trunk behind her incredulously, and sighed, "I was wondering why I couldn't find any extremely high-age soul beasts in the core area! Turns out this place is full of useless soul beasts like you who survived to be over 60,000 years old by running away!"

"It's true I'm of lowly race, but I'm too lazy to keep looking! You'll do!"

A jeweled crown suddenly appeared on her forehead. Qian Lingyun thoughtfully used one of the Sea Princess's soul skills, the Spirit Mark, to directly mark this elusive rabbit!

Honestly, Yuma's Hunting Domain is the nemesis of these runaway spirit beasts, but it also has the Spirit Detection Sharing and Spirit Marking spirit skills.

The results are actually quite similar!

After chasing that silly rabbit for a long time, flying around the outer core area of ​​the Demon Forest, Qian Lingyun followed at a leisurely pace, keeping a precise distance.

It can make flying effortless and keep the rabbit running.

She remembered a saying: "When man thinks, God laughs!"

Applying this to the situation, it's actually the same: when a soul beast starts thinking, humans laugh!

Finally, Lightning Rabbit was pushed to its limit! Even ordinary rabbits bite when cornered! Let alone this rabbit who has lived for a full 60,000 years!

Given the rabbit's reproductive capacity, almost all the purebred and mixed-breed rabbits in the entire Demon Forest are its offspring, even that one just now... which gave it offspring.

It was also a "good seed" that it sowed back then!

Stepping softly onto the ground amidst fallen leaves, Qian Lingyun gazed at the yellow figure rushing towards her, her disheveled snake-like hair hissing softly as she smiled.

"Oh dear, you've finally given up! So, your death throes are finally beginning?!"

Under the snake's eyes, Qian Lingyun could see the fluctuations of soul power around the Lightning Rabbit. She could even see the soul power flowing on each of the rabbit's legs as it ran.

Bending down to dodge the Lightning Rabbit's hind leg kick, Qian Lingyun transformed her palm into a claw and used a rare angle to clamp down on the rabbit's left hind leg, which was retracting!

With a muffled whoosh, Lightning Rabbit's body became ethereal in mid-air!

Void Soul Skill!

One of the survival skills of the rabbit clan.

"My God! Could it be that all of you rabbits, whether you're the Soft-Boned Rabbits, Lightning Rabbits, or whatever other kind of rabbits, can become nothingness?!"

The rabbit's leg, which had been restrained, was suddenly caught off guard by a soul skill, leaving Qian Lingyun quite shocked as she stared at the rabbit in a state of nothingness.

But she quickly turned her anger into joy. She had only grabbed one randomly to give her godmother some soul rings, and since it had a decent soul skill, she really couldn't let it go!

"A void soul skill, huh! I'd like to see if you can conjure up some kind of invincible golden body or instant teleportation!"

"Even a lower-level Soft Bone Rabbit like you has so many awesome skills, you can't let me down!"

Lightning Rabbit stared warily at Qian Lingyun with its red eyes. Its animal instincts told it that the human in front of it did not seem to have exerted its full strength yet. If it wanted to survive, its only option was to run away!

"Trying to run away, are you?! Damn it! I haven't even had my roasted rabbit leg yet, how can I let you escape!"

Amidst laughter and conversation, Qian Lingyun pulled out a soul-guided cannon with her backhand.

This soul-guided cannon is over two and a half meters long. Even someone as tall as Qian Lingyun would find it somewhat awkward to carry it.

In response, Qian Lingyun chose to fire from the hip, using the same method as the Soviets using the PPSh submachine gun – firing from the armpit.

This soul-guided cannon looks somewhat like a spear, with a spearhead at the front and an umbrella-shaped section at the back, like a spear tip. Further back is a long shaft, with only the part that Qian Lingyun was holding under her armpit being slightly thicker.

When Qian Lingyun infused her soul power into it, the soul-guided cannon itself immediately emitted a strange dark green color!

A ring of dark green light extended forward from the tail, eventually converging at the tip.

The green light was so deep that if you looked closely, you would find that a small black hole had appeared in the air just inches away from the tip of the soul tool.

This is not a black hole that can devour everything, but rather the trace of broken air.

Generally speaking, when the attack power and speed reach a certain level, it is possible to tear through the air and create this state.

But back then, the space that was torn open would have closed quickly. But the space that was torn open right now remains open, showing no sign of closing.

A flash of dark green light disappeared in an instant, like a long arrow, accurately hitting the lightning rabbit that was terrified by the cannon!

At the same time, Lightning Rabbit's body shone with golden light, and it took the hit without getting hurt.

"It really is an invincible golden body!" Qian Lingyun looked at the rabbit with a slightly bitter expression, and couldn't help but think to herself: What kind of logic is this? The more useless a soul beast is, the more powerful its innate soul skill can be? This is so unfair!

Some things only become more frustrating the more you think about them, and Qian Lingyun is currently in a state of extreme frustration. What's more, she's a little... hungry!

She abruptly retracted the Level 8 Disintegration Cannon, and her five pairs of wings suddenly unfurled, producing a piercing sonic boom as she closed in on Lightning Rabbit!

when!!

With a punch, Lightning Rabbit flashed with golden light again. Qian Lingyun felt as if her fist had struck a barrier that was almost impossible to break through. A displeased snort rang out from her nose!

It turns out that Lightning Rabbit knew he couldn't withstand the attack, so he used his invincible golden body to take Qian Lingyun's heavy punch!

"You can dodge the first day of the month, but you can't dodge the fifteenth. I can throw punches all day long, but you! How many times can you remain invincible?"

Without a second thought, he delivered another heavy punch to Lightning Rabbit's head. This punch slammed into Lightning Rabbit's eye socket and brow, splitting its eyelid and causing its pupils to burst out, as if a colorful silk shop had been opened: red, black, and crimson pupils rolled out.

The old rabbit lay on its back, kicked its four legs a few times, and then fainted. If no soul ring had emerged from the corpse, anyone who saw it would have thought the beast was dead!

With a wave of her hand, she chopped off two plump hind legs from the enormous rabbit, which was as big as a fat pig. Qian Lingyun then used her ultimate ice soul power to freeze the rabbit's severed legs to prevent it from dying from excessive blood loss.

After tying the rabbit up tightly and hanging it on a tree, Qian Lingyun happily started a fire in the woods and skillfully cut the two rabbit legs open with a decorative knife.

Sprinkle with salt, cumin, chili powder, and coat with honey, and in no time, the two roasted rabbit legs are sizzling with oil and emitting an enticing aroma.

"Tsk, roasted rabbit leg! It smells so good!"

Ignoring the oil, Qian Lingyun picked up a rabbit leg about the thickness of a pork knuckle and started gnawing on it.

As expected, the rabbit leg was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a perfect balance of saltiness, and it was also rich in nutrients and the essence of nature.

After finishing the two legs, Qian Lingyun was only barely half full. She licked her lips, then sucked on her seasoned index finger with lingering relish before setting her gaze back on the rabbit on the ground…

"Bunny is so cute, why would you eat it!?"

Just as Qian Lingyun chopped off the rabbit's other two legs, before she could even sprinkle on the seasoning, a very sharp female voice came from not far away.

She was a woman with a somewhat sharp and mean appearance. Although she was over forty years old, she still dressed like a young girl and acted like a child next to a middle-aged man.

These two were only of average strength, one a seventh ring and the other an eighth ring. In Qian Lingyun's eyes, dealing with these two was no different from dealing with the rabbit just now.

The aroma of the meat was irresistible, and Qian Lingyun was so focused on preparing her meal that she didn't even bother to lift her head, quietly sprinkling cumin evenly over the rabbit leg in front of her.

In fact, these two people had already been detected by her mental detection sharing from four or five kilometers away.

However, since these two guys weren't very strong, Qian Lingyun simply ignored them.

"The bunny is so cute, how could I not add cumin?" Qian Lingyun smiled with her eyes closed, skillfully sprinkling a layer of cumin on the rabbit leg whose skin was beginning to turn golden brown.

"You..." With a hint of anger, the old woman pointed at Qian Lingyun as if she wanted to say something, but strangely she held it in her mouth and didn't say it!

"I don't like people pointing at me! I especially don't like people looking at me like that. If you point at me for even a second longer, or look at me even once more, I'll cut off one of your fingers, and after I cut off your finger, I'll gouge your eye out!"

After saying the most terrifying thing in the gentlest tone, the rabbit leg is ready to be eaten.

She took a bite of the rabbit leg, and the golden oil dripped down Qian Lingyun's lips, forming a small golden stream on her chin before dripping onto the ground.

puff!

Spitting out a piece of bone, Qian Lingyun took a bite right in the center of the rabbit leg. She glanced sideways at the two fleeing figures, thinking: [Luckily, I ate roasted meat and not something else, otherwise I could have fed these two little fish and shrimp to my Blood Soul!]

After eating and drinking her fill, Qian Lingyun found a comfortable place to sleep for the night. The next day, she grabbed the rabbit by its big ears and sped off towards the Duke's mansion on the outskirts of Mingdu City.

"Mom! Godmother! I'm home!"

She casually tossed aside the 'rabbit stick' and excitedly ran into the meditation room.

At this moment, Luo Li's soul core condensation was nearing its end!

"Shh! Keep quiet! It's almost done!" Yuma raised her right hand and gently covered Qian Lingyun's lips, her eyes filled with joy!

Her old friend, after his cultivation had stagnated for so many years, finally soared to the sky and reached the final step!

Although... although there is still a gap between her and me, there is an extremely huge gap between the eighth and ninth rings!

Finally, a gray soul core was absorbed into Luo Li's dantian, and powerful soul power emanated from her body.

Now, all she needs is one spirit ring to truly become a Title Douluo.

Qian Lingyun cupped her hands in a gesture of respect and softly congratulated Luo Li, saying, "Godmother, congratulations! All those years of hard work have finally brought you great success!"

"No, no, no, it's all thanks to that strange set of soul bones you gave me!"

Luo Li clenched her fist, looking at Yuma with gratitude, and explained softly, "If it weren't for this set of soul bones and your mother's guidance, I probably wouldn't have been able to break through to my current cultivation level in this lifetime!"

"Hahaha! Godmother, you're joking. I've already brought the spirit beast back! There's no time like the present! I might as well absorb the spirit ring today!"

"OK!"

Nodding slightly, Luo Li got up and walked out of the room with Qian Lingyun.

In the courtyard outside the quiet room, a limbless "rabbit stick" was hanging upside down from a tree. Luo Li walked forward and used a branch from the ground to cleanly and neatly pierce the Lightning Rabbit's brain through its empty eye sockets.

Only after the white rabbit brains flowed down the branches to the ground did a deep, inky black soul ring condense from the top of the Lightning Rabbit's head, finally floating towards Luo Li.

Luo Li sat cross-legged and drew the spirit ring to herself.

Strangely enough, it was probably because Luo Li herself ended the life of this poor rabbit that had been chopped into a stick.

The rabbit not only did not harbor strong resentment, but was even... extremely grateful to Luo Li, and its effect and speed were only slightly worse than that of a sacrifice.

In less than three hours, Luo Li had completed the absorption of her soul core and officially became a level 91 Title Douluo.

As for the title, she hadn't decided yet, but Qian Lingyun gave her a few good suggestions: "Godmother, I've thought of a few titles for you, which one do you like?"

"Haha, whatever you say! If it really sounds good, I'll go with what you say!" Luo Li chuckled and patted Qian Lingyun's forehead, saying:

"Honestly, breaking through to the ninth ring so quickly, I still feel like everything around me is a little unreal. If it weren't for how incredibly real your touch is, I would have thought I was dreaming!"

"Hey! It really is true! Why are you worrying about all that!"

Qian Lingyun pouted, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and coughed twice to clear her throat, saying, "How about the title 'Myriad Forms' or 'Thousand Faces'?"

"The Myriad Forms Douluo or other Thousand Faces Douluo?" Luo Li paused, carefully considering the words, her eyes shining brightly. She exclaimed in admiration:

"Excellent, excellent, as expected of someone who becomes the Crown Princess, you are indeed cultured!"

Both titles sound great, I like them both! Let's just call it "Myriad Manifestations"! From now on, my title is Myriad Manifestations!

"By the way! Where's your mom?"

After the title was decided, Luo Li nervously looked around, but didn't see Yuma. Qian Lingyun smiled sweetly, raised her right hand and gently patted Luo Li's shoulder, explaining:

"My mom took the rabbit to the kitchen! I reckon it should be ready to eat by now!"

"It's ready to be served! You don't know, back in school, I loved your mom's cooking the most!" Luo Li swallowed hard and whispered.

"Back then, we were having extra tutoring in the dorm every day, and we ended up getting punished by the teachers!"

"Really? That's really exciting..."

The two made small talk, but their minds were already on the dinner table.
