Chapter 128: Integrating the Life Gold, A Preemptive Strike!

This time's harvest:

The Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife, ranked ninety-ninth on the list of engraving knives. (Life Gold!)

Nearly two hundred thousand Blood Souls.

And, a top-tier furnace.

Lingxing Hotel.

Xu Nian'an slowly took off his black robe, revealing a head of snow-white silver hair, and turned to look at the stunningly beautiful young girl whose body was still trembling incessantly.

He called over a Soul Saint who was sleeping in the room.

"Rush her back to the Xuanming Sect, teach her some basic life skills and cultivation techniques, and also, don't let anyone come into contact with her, not even the Sect Master, understand?"

Hearing Xu Nian'an's arrangements, the Xuanming Sect Soul Saint did not hesitate in the slightest and knelt on one knee to accept the order.

This Soul Saint served in the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce, and with his current momentum, Xu Nian'an did not believe he would dare to defy his words.

After this Soul Saint sent away the top-grade Evil Pet overnight, Xu Nian'an opened another room for himself.

He prepared to absorb the Life Gold; he couldn't possibly wake up Jiang Nan Nan and the others.

After everything returned to calm.

Xu Nian'an slowly took the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife out from the stolen Storage Ring.

Hum hum hum~

The moment the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife was taken out, Xu Nian'an discovered that large amounts of resentment energy were forming.

On the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife, a pair of blood-red eyes appeared.

"Interesting, a mere vengeful spirit residing within this Life Gold, and it still wants to influence my mind...?"

A more powerful aura of death spread out, instantly suppressing the last trace of the vengeful spirit's resentment.

Golden light shone, Electrolux moved his thoughts slightly, and a massive barrier formed instantly!

"It has been a long time since I used this light magic; I have actually become a bit rusty."

When Xu Nian'an opened his eyes again, the Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife before him had already changed its appearance completely.

Emerald green light shone, and powerful Life Power surged forth.

"Next, leave everything to me."

The transformed Spirit-Devouring Engraving Knife before him rotated slightly, then aimed at Xu Nian'an's forehead.

Zzzzt~

Between Xu Nian'an's brows, purple-black thunder power flashed, but it seemed not to reject this newcomer's entry; instead, it was particularly welcoming.

Pfft!

Hum!

Xu Nian'an widened his eyes abruptly; the intense pain made him want to cover his head and roll on the ground.

"Woooooo ahhhh!!! It hurts!!!"

"It feels like my head is going to be torn apart!"

Watching Xu Nian'an rolling on the ground, Electrolux flickered slightly, and soon a human figure slowly took shape.

"Apologies, I forgot to tell you that this would be very painful."

"However, the improvement this brings you afterward will be immense."

Destruction Power and Life Gold merged, and Xu Nian'an's spiritual sea was instantly expanded countless times over.

Gurgle gurgle~

Gurgle gurgle~

When Xu Nian'an opened his eyes again, he found that he had already appeared in his own luxurious carriage.

Neigh~

Neigh~

He felt something licking his forehead.

"Er Gou... Xiong Er?"

Just as he opened his eyes and saw these two fellows constantly licking his forehead, the corners of Xu Nian'an's mouth twitched.

"Go away!"

"You'll lick the skin off me in a moment."

Hearing Xu Nian'an's voice, Er Gou and Xiong Er were pushed aside, and Jiang Nan Nan's anxious little face appeared.

"Nian'an, you've finally woken up."

After hearing Jiang Nan Nan's words, Xu Nian'an was a bit dazed.

"I... how long was I unconscious?"

Jiang Nan Nan poured a cup of water for Xu Nian'an.

"Not long, we discovered you were unconscious about three hours ago."

Hearing this, Xu Nian'an drank the water she poured for him, feeling the jolting of the carriage.

He felt a strange sensation in his heart.

Unable to wait, he sat cross-legged on the floor and entered his spiritual sea.

In an instant, Xu Nian'an's head went blank.

A blinding sun.

That was likely transformed by the Vermilion Bird.

An ice plain, the Black Tortoise.

There were also two special beams of light, purple-black and pure green.

At this moment, within the ice plains, besides Xu Nian'an's martial soul, there were two other figures.

They were none other than the Dark-Gold Terrorclaw Bear (Xiong Ma), the mother of Xiong Er.

And there was also Xu Nian'an's Second Soul Ring, the Ice Crystal Turtle Soul Spirit.

"Tea... Teacher!"

Following a call, a figure quickly flew out from the green light in the sky.

"What is it."

Seeing the person Electrolux had transformed into, Xu Nian'an was completely stunned.

Had his spiritual sea changed this much?

Afternoon.

Xu Nian'an and Jiang Nan Nan arrived at Luoyang City.

It was at the Luoyang Hotel, the same place from when they first hunted for a Soul Ring in the Extreme North, that Xu Nian'an once again rendezvoused with the people from the Xuanming Sect.

"What is going on? Shouldn't you have arrived by noon?"

"And why did the Xuanming Chamber of Commerce only dispatch one Soul Douluo as a guard? This is simply absurd!"

Xu Jianyang's angry voice rang out.

He looked at Xu Nian'an earnestly.

"This is being irresponsible to yourself, and also irresponsible to the Xuanming Sect!"

Ever since the incident last time, Xu Jianyang had been paying extra attention to Xu Nian'an's safety.

Xu Jianyang had originally not supported him leaving Shrek Academy alone this time, then heading north to meet him at the Luoyang Hotel.

But upon hearing that Xu Nian'an had already departed, he was completely helpless.

"Alright, Fourth Uncle, nothing happened, did it?"

"Let's go, let's finish hunting the Soul Ring quickly this time and be done with it."

This time, Xu Nian'an did not tell Xu Jianyang first that he had broken through to Spirit Power Level 30; after all, to be accurate, it hadn't been long since he broke through to Spirit Power Level 30.

Even with Twin Martial Souls being cultivated simultaneously, Xu Nian'an was afraid that Xu Jianyang wouldn't be able to accept it for a while.

"Since that's the case, there's no need to dwell on it further. Once we finish hunting the Soul Ring for Miss Jiang, we will go back and rest."

"This Extreme North is not a peaceful place either."

The reason Xu Nian'an was so anxious to enter the Extreme North was not simply because he wanted to help Jiang Nan Nan hunt for a Soul Ring.

When he was in Lingxing City, he had entered that Evil Soul Auction, and Xu Nian'an had heard that final explosive piece of news.

He could not forget it.

One of the Soul Douluos who had escaped last time was about to lead Evil Soul Masters again to attack the 100,000-year Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger.

From his words, Xu Nian'an learned that the 100,000-year Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger, which was Er Gou's mother, had been heavily injured.

It was estimated that if Xu Jianyang didn't step in to intervene, the 100,000-year Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger would fall into the hands of that group of Evil Soul Masters.

Now, there was still a chance.

Xu Nian'an was a worldly person; since the 100,000-year Ice Crystal Saber-Toothed Tiger had already been heavily injured, its morale must have plummeted. Not to mention whether it could beat other Soul Beasts in the Extreme North, just being harassed by Evil Soul Masters from time to time meant it would eventually die one day.

Since that was the case, why not let it become his own Soul Ring? He had been helping it take care of its daughter for so long.

Furthermore, by becoming his Soul Ring, Xu Nian'an could also let it become his Soul Spirit, just like Xiong Ma, to accompany Er Gou forever.

Extreme North

Awooooo!

Er Gou ran wildly as if it had gone mad, as if it had returned to its homeland, its nature liberated.

Xu Nian'an looked at it in this state, lost in thought.

Rumble~

A moment later, a red figure flew over quickly.

"A thousand-year Snow Rabbit, Miss Jiang, absorb it quickly!"

Looking at the snow-white, one-meter-sized rabbit that had landed on the ground, Er Gou and Xiong Er's eyes lit up, eager to try.

However, they were stopped by Xu Nian'an.

"Many thanks, Elder Xu Jianyang!"

Jiang Nan Nan cupped her hands, and Xu Jianyang smiled.

Puchi~

As the sharp blade sliced through the throat, a purple Soul Ring rose up.

"Calculating the time, it's about time. Could it be that some accident happened?"

Xu Nian'an frowned.

"Roar, detestable humans, it's you again!"

Before long, a beast's roar came, and Er Gou's body trembled as it raised its head.

Xu Nian'an was quick-witted and grabbed Er Gou in his arms.

The corners of Xu Jianyang's mouth turned up.

"It seems the harvest this time will not be small. Nian'an, and you, wait here for me."

"If I do not return in one hour, immediately take the Young Master and retreat from the Extreme North."

Xu Jianyang looked at the only Soul Douluo; after the Soul Douluo nodded, he flew up and headed toward the source of the sound.

"You, Xiong Er, protect your mistress well. Er Gou and I will be right back."

Not long after Xu Jianyang left, Xu Nian'an and Er Gou also turned and disappeared.
