Chapter 187: Soul Douluo

Chapter 187: Soul Douluo

The blood-red pillar of light seemed to reach from the earth to the heavens. From a distance, Bi Ji watched calmly, yet a deep concern lurked in her eyes.

'I hope everything goes smoothly...'

The one being sacrificed was her close friend of over a hundred thousand years, and the one receiving the sacrifice was the man she cherished. How could Bi Ji remain indifferent to this sacrifice?

However, this sacrifice was bound to proceed without issue. Du Qianjue and his team were experienced by now.

The Ice Emperor and Heavenly Dream had already returned to Du Qianjue's spiritual sea. As Du Qianjue absorbed the vast energy sacrificed by Sheng Xinxin, they were settling Sheng Xinxin's soul.

To preserve a soul properly, it's essential to maintain the essence of her spirit, ensuring her mind remains unharmed. This was something Heavenly Dream excelled at, having pioneered the wisdom soul ring concept. With Heavenly Dream's help, Sheng Xinxin's spirit was smoothly preserved within Du Qianjue's spiritual sea, becoming the eighth resident after the Red Dragon—

the Light Unicorn.

During the sacrifice, Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm also slightly released some of its own original power, elevating Sheng Xinxin's nearly three-hundred-thousand-year soul ring to a full three hundred thousand years.

The soul bone Sheng Xinxin provided to Du Qianjue was her pair of wings.

The third pair...

The first pair were the Ice-Fire Dragon wings, the second the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wings, and the third the Light Unicorn wings.

Black wings on top, Ice-Fire Dragon wings in the middle, and pure white wings below.

The three pairs of magnificent wings stretched out from Du Qianjue's back, each wing over two meters long.

The external soul bone wings that Sheng Xinxin gave to Du Qianjue had only one skill, but it was immensely powerful:

Healing.

The purest form of healing.

This healing skill could be applied to individuals or groups, representing the most potent healing ability of the Light Unicorn, using soul power instead of life force.

Seven soul rings, eerie and daunting, rose at Du Qianjue's feet. The eighth, a blood-red soul ring, descended above his head and settled into the outermost position.

Soul Douluo, achieved.

Sheng Xinxin's perfect body, like a blood-colored statue, gradually faded away. A breeze swept through, and her body dissolved into particles of light, vanishing between heaven and earth.

"Drip drop—"

Bi Ji closed her eyes, a tear falling from the corner of her eye. Even though she knew Sheng Xinxin wasn't dead but existing in another form with Du Qianjue, witnessing this scene made it impossible for Bi Ji to hold back her sorrow.

"Bi Ji sister, don't cry. I'm alright," the now soul-form Sheng Xinxin appeared before Bi Ji, embracing her tenderly.

Regrettably, she no longer had a physical form and couldn't be felt.

Bi Ji couldn't feel her hug.

The tears kept falling as Bi Ji 's eyes reddened. She reached out to touch Sheng Xinxin's face, but her hand passed right through her apparition.

"Live well; you must survive!" Sheng Xinxin tried to wipe the tears from Bi Ji's face, but without a physical body, she was powerless. Although her face was smiling, tears streamed down her beautiful face as well.

"Alright, it's not a life-and-death farewell. You have to believe in me. I will definitely become a god," Du Qianjue came over to comfort Bi Ji, gently patting her back.

Bi Ji sobbed into Du Qianjue's chest, her tears soaking his clothes.

Sheng Xinxin shook her head helplessly, her expression weary.

After all, she had just finished the sacrifice and become a soul, needing to rest in Du Qianjue's spiritual sea for a while. Sleep was the best way for her to recover now.

" Sheng Xinxin, why don't you go back and sleep for a bit? You're not in a state to stay outside for long," Du Qianjue suggested, still comforting Bi Ji as he spoke to Sheng Xinxin.

"Alright," Sheng Xinxin nodded, her gaze lingering on Bi Ji. "Bi Ji sister, I'll go sleep now. Once I'm rested, I'll often ask Qianjue to let me out to play with you."

"Go ahead, sister. I'll be waiting for you," Bi Ji lifted her head, her face full of reluctance as she watched Sheng Xinxin.

With a gentle laugh, Sheng Xinxin's soul turned into a stream of light and entered Du Qianjue's forehead.

Once Sheng Xinxin left, Bi Ji came back to her senses and stepped away from Du Qianjue's embrace, her face flushed.

She had lost her composure, having thrown herself into Du Qianjue's arms.

"How are you feeling now?" Bi Ji tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, her voice tinged with embarrassment.

Du Qianjue could tell that Bi Ji was trying to shift the conversation away from the awkwardness just now. He cooperatively sensed his body's condition.

First, he felt the effects of the Nine-Turn Yuan Gong, which he and Electrolux had developed. Out of 365 acupoints that needed to be unblocked, he had already cleared nearly 190. These acupoints were filled with immense qi and blood, significantly enhancing Du Qianjue's physical strength.

By the sixth phase of the Nine-Turn Yuan Gong, where each phase required filling sixty acupoints, Sheng Xinxin's sacrifice had brought him to the early stages of the fourth phase.

Compared to Di Tian, if Du Qianjue's previous physical strength was less than forty percent of Di Tian's, he was now nearing fifty percent.

A new unit of measurement: Di Tian Check√.

Besides the significant increase in qi and blood, Du Qianjue's soul level had reached 84.

Normally, a three-hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone would increase more than just four levels, but since Sheng Xinxin's light attribute had not reached the ultimate level, much of the energy from the soul ring and soul bone was used to enhance the ultimate light attribute.

While the soul level increase was minimal, Du Qianjue felt it was a huge gain.

His cultivation speed was already fast, and a few levels of Soul Douluo wouldn't make much of a difference. Having the ultimate light developed ahead of time was more beneficial than a few easily cultivated soul levels.

Now, it wasn't like when he first formed the attribute soul core; once the soul core was successful, all attributes could start from the same line.

Sheng Xinxin's light attribute was only added recently, missing out on the benefits of soul core formation.

Unless fueled by energy, it would have to slowly grow through cultivation until it reached the ultimate level.

Ultimate attributes were on a different level compared to regular ones. Even if Du Qianjue only used the same strength as Sheng Xinxin, in terms of healing, she was nowhere close to the current Du Qianjue.

Ultimate Light was not something ordinary light could match.

And the two soul ring skills brought by Sheng Xinxin also greatly satisfied Du Qianjue.
