The air temperature around him seemed to drop to freezing point, and a chilling aura burst forth from his body, spreading in all directions like a tidal wave.

At the same time, the magical runes on the sword lit up, radiating a chilling sense of oppression.

This is Su Mo's Asura Sword Intent, capable of eroding the enemy's will.

If the enemy is weaker than him, or even lacks the will to resist, he will instantly lose his fighting spirit.

Moreover, this sword intent can greatly enhance attack power, and all attacks are imbued with Asura power. After damage is inflicted, the Asura power will corrode the enemy's wounds, making them difficult to heal.

With a flick of his wrist, Su Mo brought the sword to life in front of him, its tip pointing straight to the sky.

In an instant, crimson light surged wildly.

It condensed into a huge, blood-red energy sword in mid-air.

"Asura Slash!" With a low shout, Su Mo suddenly swung his sword down.

The Azure Mantis sensed the deadly danger, and for the first time, fear appeared in its eyes.

It could only ignore the sword feathers, raise its blade arm, and cross it above its head to try to block the fatal blow from the blood-red greatsword.

Meanwhile, the sword feathers continued to slash towards its abdomen.

It let out a painful scream; its abdomen was covered with numerous wounds, and dark green fluid began to seep out.

But it couldn't care less about any of that at the moment, because the aura of the blood-red giant sword above its head made its very soul tremble.

In an instant, blood splattered!

boom--

The deafening explosion echoed through the Starry Sky Forest.

A large area of ​​trees was destroyed, and a deep ravine several meters long appeared on the ground, leaving the scene in a mess.

The Azure Mantis lay on the ground some distance away, its abdomen rising and falling slightly. Although it was not yet dead, it was on the verge of death.

Its proud bladed arms were broken, leaving only half of the limbs hanging limply on the ground. The carapace on its back was also completely shattered, and the ground was covered with dark green blood.

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Mo flashed forward and stabbed the creature in a vital spot with his sword, completely ending its life.

Soon, a black spirit ring slowly rose from its body.

Su Mo sheathed his sword and stood there, his breathing slightly rapid and his chest rising and falling slightly, clearly indicating that this battle had consumed a lot of his soul power.

He raised his hand and summoned the scattered black and gold sword feathers, which flew back to his back, gathered into a pair of wings, and then stored inside his body.

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong's lips curled up slightly, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

She quickly walked up to Su Mo, naturally took his arm, looked up at him, her eyes filled with adoration.

"Junior brother, you are really amazing. That was a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and you took it down all by yourself."

Yue Guan also came up, her face beaming with smiles, her delicate face filled with flattery.

"Yes, Your Highness's sword strike just now was truly awe-inspiring! To kill a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast head-on with level forty soul power is extremely rare in the entire soul master world. I am truly in awe of you."

Ghost gave Yue Guan a deep look. "No, you've finished speaking. What should I say?"

How come he never noticed before? This Chrysanthemum Guan is a master of flattery.

He hesitated for a moment, quickly organizing his thoughts before speaking:

"Juhua Guan is right. Moreover, looking across the entire continent, who else could reach Your Highness's current level of soul power at such a young age? Your Highness's talent is truly unprecedented and unparalleled in history."

Su Mo glanced at the two of them, his expression strange.

What's wrong with these two? Why are they fawning over him like lackeys?

They even sang in unison, their coordination so perfect, truly worthy of being called best buddies.

"Alright, I'm going to start absorbing the spirit rings." He shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to these two clowns.

"Yes, Your Highness!" the two replied immediately, taking a few steps back in unison.

Su Mo sat down cross-legged on the spot, adjusted his breathing and state of mind, and closed his eyes to concentrate.

The moment the spirit ring landed on him, a massive surge of energy rushed into his body, like a flood bursting its banks, violent and turbulent.

Thanks to the powerful physique tempered by the immortal herbs, his body only trembled slightly before stabilizing, and he didn't even show much pain.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred in his mental sea.

The resentment of the Azure Mantis coalesced into a phantom, filled with intense unwillingness and violence, attempting to shatter his mental sea and perish together with him.

This is the final struggle of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, and also one of the most dangerous hurdles when absorbing a soul ring.

If one cannot withstand the soul-shaking shock, at best one will become a cripple, and at worst one will die on the spot.

Su Mo sneered inwardly. How dare a mere remnant soul act so recklessly in his spiritual sea?

With a thought, a blood sword formed from spiritual power suddenly materialized in his mind's sea.

The blood sword slashed down from the sky with unstoppable force. The lingering spirit of the Azure Mantis was unable to even resist before it was shattered by the sword and vanished into nothingness as specks of light.

The soul-shaking event had barely begun before it was over.

Time slips away quietly.

After a long while, Su Mo's soul power suddenly surged.

He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of red light passing through them.

At this moment, his soul power had reached level forty-seven.

The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Blossom mainly improve physical fitness, but their effect on improving soul power is not significant.

The reason I have reached my current level of soul power is due to the environment of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which can accelerate my cultivation, as well as the excess energy of the ten-thousand-year soul ring and the blood energy of the ten-thousand-year soul beast.

"Junior brother, what is your fourth soul skill?" Bibi Dong asked curiously as she stepped forward.

Su Mo stood up and smiled slightly: "My fourth soul skill is called Infinite Slaughter. It is similar to the armor-piercing ability of the Azure Mantis. Once activated, my attacks can ignore the target's defense and last for half an hour."

However, ignoring defenses is not absolute; it ultimately depends on the difference in strength between the two sides. If the difference is too great, the effect will be greatly reduced.

For example, with Su Mo's current cultivation level, how could he possibly ignore the Golden Crocodile Douluo's defense and still cause him harm when facing a level 98 Golden Crocodile Douluo?

If that's really the case, then it's not a ten-thousand-year soul skill; it must be at least a hundred-thousand-year level.

Yue Guan exclaimed in surprise, "In front of Your Highness, wouldn't those defensive Soul Masters' Soul Skills be completely useless?"

Ghost nodded and said, "That's right. No matter how strong the opponent's defensive soul skill is, as long as their strength is not much different from Your Highness's, they will probably have a hard time withstanding this sword."

Even the usually calm and taciturn Golden Crocodile Douluo couldn't help but be slightly moved.

Su Mo glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei and said, "Alright, let's go. Next, it's time to hunt down soul rings for you."

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan immediately beamed with joy: "Your Highness has gone to so much trouble."

The ghost nodded as well.

The group immediately set off, heading deeper into the core area.

What Yue Guan and Gui Mei need is their ninth spirit ring, and only the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest can provide a spirit ring of sufficient age and superior quality.

The deeper one goes, the more powerful the aura of the surrounding soul beasts becomes, often consisting of ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.

These spirit beasts reside in their own territories, maintaining a delicate balance among themselves.

To prevent any foolish soul beasts from attacking them, Golden Crocodile Douluo simply stopped concealing his aura.

The older the soul beast, the higher its intelligence. After sensing the powerful and terrifying aura of the Golden Crocodile Douluo, they all fled and dared not approach him at all.

They traveled smoothly along the way, encountering almost no obstacles.

During this time, they also encountered several soul beasts with suitable attributes, but their lifespan was only around 70,000 years. Although this was already a good lifespan, with Golden Crocodile Douluo in charge, they naturally had to choose one with a higher lifespan.

Chapter 36 Lake of Life, Transformation into a Soft-Boned Rabbit

Deep within the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Not far from the Lake of Life.

In a quiet forest clearing, a wooden house stands out abruptly.

A low fence surrounds the front of the house, and inside the yard grows several clumps of unidentified wildflowers, some red and some white, in full bloom.

A small open space was also cleared next to the flower bushes, where lush green carrot tops grew neatly.

In the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, a forbidden area that even titled Douluo dare not enter lightly, the appearance of such a human-inhabited wooden house, with its pastoral charm, seems particularly abrupt and eerie.

Just then, the door of the wooden house creaked open, and a woman walked out.

She looked to be about thirty years old, with long, black hair casually tied back and secured with a wooden hairpin, a few stray strands falling around her ears and gently blowing in the wind.

She had a delicate and gentle face, with a touch of simplicity and tranquility in her eyes. She wore coarse cloth clothes, and her skin, though not fair, had a healthy glow.

She looked just like an ordinary farm woman.

The woman squatted by the vegetable patch, bending down to pull up a few ripe carrots and put them into her basket.

"Xiao Wu!" the woman suddenly called out, her clear voice carrying far through the mountains and forests, "Stop playing, come back quickly!"

The woman dressed like a village woman was Xiao Wu's mother, a 100,000-year-old soft-boned rabbit who had successfully transformed into human form.

After she took human form, she went to the human world and lived in a small mountain village. She successfully cultivated to maturity and then returned to the Star Dou Great Forest to take care of her daughter, Xiao Wu.

A moment later, a muffled rumbling sound came from afar.

The earth began to tremble slightly, the branches and leaves of the trees rustled, and the birds in the forest took flight in fright.

Before long, a huge figure ran out of the dense forest.

It was a giant ape-like beast, incredibly large, like a moving hill, with a pair of golden eyes like two lanterns.

It is none other than the Titan Giant Ape, Erming, one of the overlords of the core area.

However, at this moment, atop this overlord-level soul beast stood a fluffy Soft Bone Rabbit. Its body was pure white with a touch of pink, its eyes were crystal pink, and its long ears twitched slightly.

This soft-boned rabbit is Xiao Wu, who has not yet taken human form. Xiao Wu is now over 90,000 years old, just one step away from the 100,000-year mark.

In a few decades, she will be able to take human form like her mother and step into the human world.

Soon, the Titan Ape came to the woman's side, crouching down like a docile pet, letting out a low growl, seemingly acting coquettishly, without a trace of its domineering majesty.

Xiao Wu jumped down as well, landing on the ground. She twitched her ears, hopped around the woman twice, and her pink eyes sparkled.
