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

Chapter 77 - Ice and Fire Golden Body

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red spirit ring appeared, appearing in the position of Qian Renxue's fifth spirit ring.

At the same time, a strange power flowed through her left leg and merged into Qian Renxue's body. Qian Renxue felt her left leg suddenly filled with power, and layers of red light surged out from it.

This is the power of the soul bone. After the angel's divine armor was shattered, apart from the one in the head which was repaired by the will of the plane, the others were still in a damaged state. If they were to be repaired, they would need soul bones that were at least 100,000 years old to be reforged.

Today, the left leg soul bone produced by the Fiery Apricot Blossom helped Qian Renxue successfully repair the components of the second Angelic Armor.

On the other side, Qian Lingyun started chatting with the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, "Eight-Cornered! Look, your good friend Jiao Jiao has already sacrificed herself, right? Shouldn't you... right? You don't want to live a lonely life until you die in this place where there are hardly any living creatures, do you?"

After saying that, Qian Lingyun specifically instructed, "I have all the soul bones, so you can just conjure up any unique one for my sister."

"..."

Bajiao Xuanbinghuo fell silent in the face of this shameless person. She began to wonder, were the gods so casual in choosing their successors?

How can someone like this be chosen by a god?! What kind of god has such low standards?! Damn!

Rakshasa: Keep cursing! Keep cursing!

But as the old saying goes, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

She now lives on someone else's land, her life or death entirely in their hands, so naturally she has no choice but to submit to Qian Lingyun's tyranny...

"Sacrifice is fine, but you have to swear an oath first, just like Jiao Jiao did," the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass said sullenly.

"Alright, alright, I, Qian Lingyun, swear in the name of the Rakshasa God that I will revive the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass once I reach the God Realm. If I break this oath, may my divine position be shattered and may I be condemned by heaven and earth!" After making the oath, Qian Lingyun stared intently at the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, her burning gaze clearly conveying the message: "Hurry up and sacrifice yourself!"

"Okay, I'll begin!"

The eight-cornered ice grass emitted an icy blue light, and rings of icy blue light slowly surged upwards from its roots, transforming into rings of icy blue light.

The already beautiful leaves of the star anise gradually transformed into a dazzling blue crystal, shimmering with a magnificent light. It looked like a perfect work of art.

Soon, this exquisite work of art burst into a dazzling red light, its icy blue body ablaze with raging blood flames.

Within the blood flames, the surging power of the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass rushed into Qian Lingyun's body.

Before long, a red soul ring rose from beneath Qian Lingyun's feet and slowly took shape.

Yes, it's the same color as Qian Renxue's fifth spirit ring—red! Red representing 100,000 years, but strangely, this 100,000-year spirit ring was covered with a thin white film after it was attached to the body.

Although Qian Lingyun didn't know what was going on, she didn't feel threatened at all. On the contrary, she could feel something subtle and inexplicable.

After the sacrifice ended, a small yet exquisite octagonal ice grass, entirely ice-blue in color and composed of ice crystals, floated in front of Qian Lingyun.

The icy blue right leg bone, driven by Qian Lingyun, slowly merged into Qian Renxue's right leg.

The soul ring absorption is complete; now it's time to seriously consume immortal items.

Taking out the several large bottles of Ice and Fire Spring Water that she had previously filled, Qian Lingyun was eager to recreate Tang Shenwang's Ice and Fire Alchemy Body.

Qian Lingyun used her soul power to lift up the two immortal herbs and make them merge. After they merged, although the Blazing Apricot and the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass would be restrained by each other's aura, their effects would completely disappear after ten breaths.

And within these ten breaths is the best time to take them.

Without hesitation, Qian Lingyun stuffed the two immortal herbs into her mouth in large mouthfuls.

Although the two immortal ingredients were poisonous, after being countered by their nemesis, they lost their previous domineering nature. They melted in the mouth, turning into saliva that flowed down the throat. Qian Lingyun felt her tongue produce saliva, and the fragrance filled the air.

After a few breaths, the sensation of alternating ice and fire really came over her, but strangely enough, Qian Lingyun's body did not feel any terrifying pain.

A very special attribute was coordinating these two completely different attributes within her body. This power was colder than the extreme cold brought by the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and more violent than the intense heat brought by the Fiery Apricot.

As is well known, triangles possess stability. Under the regulation of this force, the power of ice and fire had no choice but to subside and automatically quiet down. Qian Lingyun also took this opportunity to slowly absorb the effects contained within them into her body, settling into her meridians and flesh.

However, this is by no means something that can be completely absorbed in a short time. Conservatively speaking, Qian Lingyun will need to reach around the seventh ring cultivation level to fully integrate these two powers.

After opening her eyes and quietly sensing her own soul power and condition for a while, Qian Lingyun closed her eyes again and compressed and purified her soul power in a unique way.

Three immortal herbs, one spiritual medicine, and a 100,000-year-old soul beast sacrificed themselves, directly pushing her from level 45 to level 57. Although she was confident in perfectly controlling this power, the possibility of her soul power becoming unstable and her foundation becoming unstable due to leveling up too quickly was still possible.

At the same time, compressing and enhancing soul power has another benefit: the soul power becomes more condensed, and the ability to continuously output power for a longer period of time at the same realm.

After three days of compression, sorting, and purification, Qian Lingyun's soul power finally stabilized at level 54. Her total soul power was greater than that of some low-level Soul Saints with weak foundations, and the quality of her refined soul power was comparable to that of some rapidly developed Title Douluos produced by Sun and Moon Sects.

During the time that Qian Renxue and Qian Lingyun were absorbing and regulating their own soul power, a certain restless three-eyed golden lion took advantage of the buffs from having the Crimson King by its side and Qian Lingyun's support.

He roamed around the undead demiplane like a bully, either beating up undead creatures or eating the elixirs from Thousand Spirits' miniature flower garden...

In the end, three or four medicinal herbs in the flower gardens had already fallen victim to her wickedness.

Upon waking, Qian Lingyun was so angry she almost vomited blood. Tears streaming down her face, she clutched the golden fur of the Imperial Beast and gritted her teeth, saying, "I only neglected you for three days, and you ate so much of my food..."

"Hehehe..." Knowing he was in the wrong, the three-eyed golden lion stuck out its tongue and chuckled, "It's just a few blades of grass! Don't get so excited, getting excited will give you wrinkles around your eyes."

"A few blades of grass! Do you even want to listen to what you're saying? Those were four nurseries, eighteen ancient medicinal herbs, each thousands of years old! You wasteful good-for-nothing!" Qian Lingyun suppressed the urge to hit her and turned her gaze to the Crimson King. "Senior Crimson King, didn't you do anything back then?"

"Hehe..." The Crimson King swallowed hard, and his two heads automatically turned to one side, leaving the middle head facing Qian Lingyun, who was shrouded in black mist.

"Ah... I'm just a bodyguard, I can't control her!" The Crimson King glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with a frustrated expression. After receiving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's pitiful look, he took the blame. "Um... okay, I admit it, she didn't eat the elixir, I ate it all."

"You guys..." Qian Lingyun's lips twitched a few times, and she drew circles on the ground in a sullen mood, while communicating with Ilex in her mind: "Teacher, are you confident that you can use a spell to extract the part of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul that doesn't belong to her?"

"It's not easy. In her current state, it's not possible to directly extract the part of her soul that doesn't belong to her, unless she voluntarily lets down her guard against you and connects with your spirit. If your spiritual seas can connect, then it's possible," Electrolux, a professor specializing in soul studies, gave his student Qian Lingyun an extremely professional answer.
