Chapter 129: Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring, Increase Experience, and Earth-Shattering Roar

~9 min read 1,748 words

The powerful force of the sacrifice shook the heavens and the earth; the Azure Ox Python, far away at the Life Lake, also sensed this power, feeling both shocked and bewildered.

"This power, is it Second Brother? Why, why would you initiate the Sacrificial Array!" The Azure Ox Python was struck with terror.

In truth, it knew that Titan had snuck out to find Xiao Wu; the reason it did not stop him was that it thought, since it was only the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, there surely wouldn't be any problems given Titan's strength.

Furthermore, it also missed Xiao Wu a little; if Titan could bring Xiao Wu back, that would be fine. In any case, under these circumstances, even if Sister Xiao Wu wanted to scold someone, she would scold that impulsive fellow Er Ming, and it would have nothing to do with Daming.

Being able to see Sister Xiao Wu again and letting that simpleton Er Ming take the blame—why wouldn't it be happy to do so?

Yet it never expected that Titan, not knowing what he had encountered, would actually be forced into a sacrifice.

The Azure Ox Python immediately guessed that Titan had been coerced; after all, in this world, if there was anyone who could make the brothers willingly sacrifice themselves, it could only be Sister Xiao Wu.

The problem was that the current Xiao Wu had certainly not reached the Mature Period; she could condense her first few Spirit Rings herself, and moreover, it was impossible for her to let her younger brother sacrifice himself for her like this.

The Azure Ox Python, unable to make sense of it at all, was burning with anxiety, but what could it do no matter how anxious it was?

In reality, as long as Nan Feihuang was willing to keep his promise, Titan did not feel he was at a loss.

"In reality" referred to the Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation that most Spirit Beasts were destined to fail to overcome.

And in that part of the forest, Titan's red Spirit Ring had already taken shape. Nan Feihuang shouted, "Now is the time, Chitu, do it!"

It did not possess teleportation, and the Life Lake was simply too far from the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest. Titan had run for two days; even if it rushed over at top speed now, it would take at least a day and a night, by which time the opportunity would likely have passed.

As for the Azure Ox Python, Nan Feihuang would never go back on his promise to spare its life once.

Nan Feihuang had previously told Chitu that before it officially sacrificed itself to him, it first needed to find a test subject to try out the capabilities of the sealing technique. Nan Feihuang had thought at the time to use this Titan or the Azure Ox Python as a guinea pig.

"Red Gold Seal!" Chitu cast the sealing technique, sealing the power of Titan's Spirit Ring.

This is why, even though the Douluo Continent had existed for who knows how many years, the number of Ferocious Beasts was only this few.

Because no matter how strong it was, there would always come a day of death in the future; even if it were not hunted by others, it would certainly die one day under the Spirit Beast Heavenly Tribulation that occurred every one hundred thousand years.

Its current level of cultivation in the sealing technique was still shallow, and it could only seal this kind of sacrificial Spirit Ring, because such Spirit Rings were very stable. If it were a hunted Spirit Ring, the resentment and hatred of the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast remaining on the Spirit Ring would resist the power of the seal, attempting to forcibly break it.

The God Realm did not welcome Spirit Beasts becoming gods. Ever since the Dragon God fell, the God Realm had adjusted the difficulty of the Heavenly Tribulation for Spirit Beasts to an inexplicably high level. It was because of this reason that the rumor spread: if a Spirit Beast reached one hundred thousand years and did not choose to take human form to recultivate, it would surely die after one thousand years.

Of course, Nan Feihuang had not deceived it either; Chitu would protect its soul, and in the future, when Nan Feihuang became a god, he would assist in its rebirth, making it a companion divine beast.

This was also the reason why Nan Feihuang had been inducing Titan to sacrifice; he dared not absorb a Spirit Ring obtained by beating one to death, as no matter how important strength was, it was not as important as his life.

Yet for the sake of his brother, even knowing it was too late, it had to go.

He would also spare Xiao Wu today; as long as she didn't come to cause him trouble in the future, he wouldn't go out of his way to harm her either.

Perhaps because the sacrifice had already begun, Titan could feel Nan Feihuang's intentions, and his power became increasingly steady.

A massive ox head surfaced from the water, and the Azure Ox Python's enormous body submerged into the forest.

It was fine for the likes of Titan and the Azure Ox Python, as their races were formidable and they had the potential to become Ferocious Beasts. But for someone like Xiao Wu, the probability of her Soft-Bone Rabbit race succeeding was zero, so both she and her mother chose to take human form and recultivate.

Today, Titan's sacrifice, while it caused him to lose his life temporarily, had also allowed him to find another path to godhood.

The blood-red Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring had most of its power sealed by Chitu's Red Gold Sealing Technique, gradually turning black.

This was a more overbearing sealing technique than that of the Tianmeng Iceworm, directly downgrading Titan's Spirit Ring.

However, no matter how overbearing, a seal was just a seal. Titan's power was not gone; as long as Nan Feihuang's cultivation improved, it could still be gradually unsealed.

Nan Feihuang switched his martial soul to the Dunjia Heavenly Book; he did not intend to place Titan's Spirit Ring on the Fangtian Halberd, but chose to use it as the first ring for the Dunjia Heavenly Book.

Because Nan Feihuang was simply too greedy for that soul skill in the Dunjia Heavenly Book that could Increase Experience.

No matter what, he had to get this soul skill out as soon as possible; a group cultivation speed amplification skill was simply a divine skill for cultivating his own base of supporters.

It just so happened that his time as an Exchange Student was coming to an end, and he would soon return to the Gulei Royal Palace to cultivate with Lv Lingqi, Dian Wei, and the others; the timing of this soul skill's appearance was perfect.

"Master, I have sealed this guy's Spirit Ring to around fifteen thousand years. Since it is a sacrifice, with your current physique, absorbing it should be effortless," Chitu said.

"Mm, don't worry, Chitu, I don't feel any pain at all." Although the Spirit Ring had already entered his body, Nan Feihuang's expression was very relaxed.

This was mainly because it was an active sacrifice; the soul power of the Spirit Ring was neither aggressive nor did it contain soul tremors.

In less than an hour, the first Spirit Ring of the Dunjia Heavenly Book was absorbed, and the seal was also very stable.

"Great, Chitu, our experiment was a success!" Nan Feihuang was very happy. With this successful experience, it would be much more familiar when Chitu sacrificed itself in the future.

Chitu nodded its horse head slightly, "Thanks to Master's strategic planning."

Nan Feihuang quietly sensed the first Spirit Ring of the Dunjia Heavenly Book; a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring naturally brought two soul skills.

One was a strategist's tactic: the Increase Experience that Nan Feihuang wanted.

One was a civil official's tactic: the Earth-attribute Earth-Shattering Roar, a large-area group attack skill. It would likely be even more ruthless when bullying the weak than Dugu Bo's poison.

With a body modeled after a Three Kingdoms general, having such a soul skill that could be called a battlefield slaughter machine was not a problem at all.

It was just that for now, Nan Feihuang could not use Earth-Shattering Roar, and Increase Experience was only at the primary level, which could only increase cultivation speed by thirty percent.

This was also within Nan Feihuang's expectations; after all, with only fifteen thousand years of power remaining, it naturally could not unleash the true might of a Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring. It was already good enough to activate a primary level skill.

In any case, as it gradually recovered in the future, Increase Experience would change from primary to intermediate, and then to advanced, and Earth-Shattering Roar would also be usable officially sooner or later.

Finally, there was Nan Feihuang's level, which reached level forty-two. A Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring should not have only increased his level by this much; it seems that such an overbearing sealing technique was not necessarily all good.

However, it didn't matter. The soul power was still in the Spirit Ring and had not disappeared. Just like Tang Hao, after obtaining the sacrificed Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring, even if he didn't cultivate much in the following years, his soul power could continue to rise by gradually absorbing the soul power within the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Ring. Nan Feihuang was the same; the soul power this Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring could provide him was far more than this. Besides, with Increase Experience, the speed of soul power cultivation was no longer a big problem.

"Eh, what is this?" Just at this moment, Nan Feihuang discovered that after adding the first Spirit Ring, the Dunjia Heavenly Book seemed to have changed slightly.

The last page had cracked open.

He immediately flipped to that page, "No, that's not right, it's not cracked. This last page is actually stuck to the back cover. Could it be that it needs the power of a Spirit Ring to gradually unseal?"

At this moment, that page had only lifted up a tiny bit, and Nan Feihuang could only roughly see the little bit of things revealed.

A few sparse characters.

Just those few characters made Nan Feihuang's mind tremble with shock.

"This... this is..."
