Chapter 254

"May I have a great opportunity?" The Heavenly Azure Ox Python was stunned for a moment, but its and the Titan Giant Ape's movements also stopped.

Unless absolutely necessary, no beast wants to die, especially since they have lived for tens of thousands of years, having experienced the joy of being the forest's overlord; they naturally do not want to lose all this.

The Heavenly Azure Ox Python raised its head, lightning arcs jumping in its azure eyes, staring at Gu Xuan for a long while, then said: "Human, we have never met; where does this talk of giving me an opportunity come from?"

The Heavenly Azure Ox Python does not want to die, but given the current situation, unless there is a turnaround, even if it joins forces with the Titan Giant Ape, it absolutely cannot be a match for those two Titled Douluo; the final outcome would at most be becoming a soul ring and soul bone.

Therefore, the Heavenly Azure Ox Python lowered its posture greatly, because it wants to live!

Gu Xuan spoke softly: "You don't know me, but I know you. As the absolute overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, you are the soul ring and soul bone countless people dream of."

Upon hearing these words, the Azure Green Python and the Titan Giant Ape both showed expressions of a fight to the death, and the hearts they had just lowered rose again.

Indeed, these three humans have come precisely for their Soul Rings and soul bones!

Seeing the two beasts tense up again, Gu Xuan continued, saying, "This time we indeed came for your Soul Ring and soul bone, but also to bring you another path."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the Azure Green Python was somewhat puzzled; just as it was about to speak, Gu Xuan continued:

"Originally I could have killed you directly and then absorbed your Soul Ring and soul bone, but because of an incident half a year ago, you now have another path to take."

As Gu Xuan spoke, six Soul Rings rose from his body, shocking the world: two yellow, one purple, two black, and one red.

"A hundred-thousand-year sixth Soul Ring?!" Upon seeing Gu Xuan's Soul Rings, the Azure Green Python and the Titan Giant Ape both wore expressions of disbelief.

Although they are not humans, having lived tens of thousands of years, they are also well aware of human cultivation systems; even a hundred-thousand-year sixth Soul Ring—something even the original Angel God and Sea God never possessed, right?

This human is truly monstrous!

Now the Azure Green Python no longer doubts Gu Xuan's claim that he could directly hunt it down and take its Soul Ring and soul bone, after all he already possesses a hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring; absorbing another would not be difficult.

The Titan Giant Ape felt the terrifying aura of that hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring on Gu Xuan's body, and its heart was likewise filled with despair.

"Big Brother………"

The Titan Giant Ape knew that this time, the three humans would certainly not return empty-handed.

The Azure Green Python stopped the Titan Giant Ape from speaking further, looked at Gu Xuan, and asked, "Human, what is this other path you speak of? Sacrifice?"

It truly does not want to die, but if it must die, it would need to find another way out.

But if the other path this human speaks of is sacrifice, then it would be better to fight to the death.

They can't defeat those two Titled Douluo; can this young man before them not be defeated either?

Upon hearing that, the Azure Green Python saw Gu Xuan shake his head; just as it thought it wasn't a sacrifice, Gu Xuan actually nodded again.

This left the Azure Green Python somewhat bewildered; before it could ask, Gu Xuan already said, "It is a sacrifice, but after the sacrifice you can still live, and as my strength grows, your strength will also increase."

Upon hearing Gu Xuan's words, the first thought of the Azure Green Python and the Titan Giant Ape was impossible! Humans have been hunting soul beasts and absorbing their Soul Rings for tens of thousands of years, yet they have never heard of a soul beast surviving after becoming a Soul Ring.

However, since the human before them said so, there must be some basis; thus the Azure Green Python did not rush to refute, but asked, "How is this method carried out?"

Gu Xuan did not answer immediately, but instead looked toward Gu Rong and said softly, "Grandfather, seal this space; my following words must not be transmitted outward for now."

Gu Rong did not question it, after all this is the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest; besides the two ten-thousand-year soul beasts before them, there are no other soul beasts, so in Gu Rong's view this was unnecessary, but he still did it.

After Gu Rong nodded, Gu Xuan then looked down at the two beasts and told them how the Soul Spirit Method and the Dust Affinity had been successfully combined.

If a person lies, traces can always be found in the falsehood, but listening to Gu Xuan's explanation, the Azure Green Python not only found no loopholes, it grew increasingly excited the more it heard.

For if this is true, not only would it be able to live after becoming a soul spirit, but if the Soul Spirit Method were to spread in the future, it would certainly be a blessing for their soul beast clan, and absolutely a method that could let their soul beast clan endure forever.

After hearing Gu Xuan's explanation, the Azure Green Python found it hard to believe in its heart, after all the Douluo Continent has existed for so many years; why has this method only been discovered now?

But when it tried to look for loopholes, it found none at all; the soul spirit can be inherited, and the only current loophole is the lack of a vessel to store soul spirits.

However, from the meaning implied in Gu Xuan's words, he will also resolve this problem in the future.

However, the Soul Spirit Method is indeed shocking, so the Azure Green Python and the Titan Giant Ape couldn't help but engage in conversation with Gu Xuan, because if confirmed true, this would be the method allowing their soul beast clan to survive forever.

Also during their conversation, Gu Xuan also revealed some secrets to the two beasts, such as his Dual King inheritance.

If the two beasts had any doubts before, upon seeing the two inheritance marks of the Ice Fire Dragon King on Gu Xuan's body, the Azure Green Python would choose to believe.

Although the Azure Green Python is not a pure dragon clan, it can also be considered a mutant true dragon, a being of extraordinary talent.

Regarding the Ice Fire Dragon King's inheritance mark, it could sense that it was the most intimate aura, and also came from a higher rank.

Gu Xuan also promised the Azure Green Python that once it became his soul spirit, he would take it to meet the Dual Kings.

The Titan Giant Ape, however, must remain at Star Moon Lake, and not only remain there; it now also needs to integrate the Star Dou Great Forest, laying the foundation for Gu Xuan's future popularization of the Soul Spirit Method.

However, the two beasts were originally proud and arrogant, and being the only ones in this core region, the first step in integrating the Star Dou Great Forest is to win over a batch of loyal followers.

As for this, Gu Xuan's idea was to directly transfer the Ancient Sword and the Golden Armor Earth Dragon, along with some of its underlings, to first form the Titan Giant Ape's core team, and then radiate outward to the entire Star Dou Great Forest.

Regarding this proposal, the Azure Green Python and the Titan Giant Ape also agreed, after all they not only need not die, but can also make an outstanding contribution to the Star Dou Great Forest and to the future of their soul beast clan.

And just after Gu Xuan and the two beasts had finished discussing all this, Gu Xuan told them another piece of good news: within the Seven Treasure Glazed Sect there is a hundred-thousand-year transformed rabbit.

Upon hearing this news, the Azure Green Python and the Titan Giant Ape immediately became excited, because a hundred-thousand-year-level transformed rabbit is none other than their Xiao Wu elder sister.

Because Gu Rong had personally captured Xiao Wu back then, he knew this rabbit was closely related to the two beasts; now Gu Xuan gave a brief explanation.

Initially, when he and Gu Rong came to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings, they inadvertently discovered Xiao Wu; then Gu Rong followed Xiao Wu and secretly discovered the Titan Giant Ape, only capturing Xiao Wu after the Titan Giant Ape had left.

However, when the Titan Giant Ape heard this, it directly questioned Gu Xuan: "What about Tang San? Xiao Wu elder sister regarded that human as family; why didn't that human save Xiao Wu elder sister?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xuan explained, "It's not that Tang San didn't save Xiao Wu; rather, because humans and soul beasts are inherently opposed, after Tang San learned Xiao Wu's identity, he thought she had deceived him and was secretly cultivating beside him."

After Gu Xuan's explanation, the Titan Giant Ape felt only guilt and hatred toward that Tang San kid, wishing it could now tear out his tendons and strip his skin.

However, upon hearing that humans harbor no goodwill toward soul beasts, the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Green Python still felt a hint of goodwill toward Gu Xuan.

Because Gu Xuan seems not to hold much prejudice against their soul beasts; otherwise he would not advocate promoting the Soul Spirit Method.

Although it might be because Gu Xuan received the inheritance of the two great ancestors of the Ice Fire Dragon King, his goodwill toward their soul beast clan can also be felt by the two beasts.

After everything was settled, the Azure Green Python began preparing the sacrifice to Gu Xuan, to become his soul spirit, because it also truly wanted to personally test whether Gu Xuan's method could succeed.

However, just as the Azure Green Python was about to sacrifice, it secretly gave the Titan Giant Ape a glance; the two beast brothers, having been together for tens of thousands of years, the Titan Giant Ape instantly understood the elder brother's meaning and remained silent.
