~17 min read 3,345 words

Just as he stepped out of the space vortex, Shu Yan was pulled over by the women.

Looking at the beautiful faces full of worry in front of him, Shu Yan smiled helplessly, and then explained that he was fine before the women could speak. Otherwise, with the women talking one after another, he really wouldn't know how to answer.

Seeing Shu Yan full of energy and looking like nothing had happened, the women couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Before long, the space vortex appeared again, and the person who walked out of it this time was Di Tian, who had no expression on his face.

Di Tian looked around at everyone, and then his gaze stayed on Xu Jiujiu and Han Ruoruo. He frowned slightly. Obviously, he was very clear about the purpose of the few people and was slightly dissatisfied with this.

Shu Yan didn't feel anything. Sometimes people are like this. When their strength is weaker than the other party, they will choose to compromise, but when the strength of both sides tends to be balanced, they are in a completely different state.

Honestly speaking, the current Shu Yan is not too afraid of Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King, whose injuries have not yet healed. What is more obvious is that the other party does not want to tear his face with him, otherwise, the ones who will suffer later will only be them.

After thinking about it, Shu Yan said:

Di Tian: "..."

Time passed bit by bit. Until half an hour later, the golden light on the Abyss Demon Jiao became more and more intense. Visibly, the golden light surged forward rapidly from its tail. Wherever it passed, its body began to wither and dim rapidly. Until the end, the Abyss Demon Jiao's body had completely withered, and the golden light had reached a point where it blocked everyone's sight.

As soon as these words came out, Di Tian's expression brightened again. Seeing that he was very interested, Shu Yan briefly explained the effects and functions of soul spirits of various ages to him and the women. Hearing the end, the shock in Di Tian's eyes could no longer be described as surprise and joy. In a very short time, his attitude toward Shu Yan had undergone a major transformation. Shu Yan didn't find this surprising. He didn't have time to bother with Di Tian at this time. After finishing these, he prepared to start fusing the first soul spirit for Xu Jiujiu.

Zhang Lexuan had the deepest realization of this. Her martial soul is the moon. Although her own attributes are biased toward coldness, she still couldn't avoid the fate of being suppressed by Xu Jiujiu's Starry Sky martial soul. She smiled bitterly, and she couldn't help but envy Xu Jiujiu's good luck.

The Hell Demon Dragon is also known as the Abyss Demon Dragon. Its patriarch is none other than the ninth-ranked beast on the current Continental Fierce Beast Ranking and one of only two dragon kings among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts: the Hell Demon Dragon King, Zi Ji, who can also be called the Demon Queen.

Xu Jiujiu was even more pleasantly surprised. She reached out and touched the head of this big guy in front of her. Starlight fell from her fingertips, which was the energy from the Star Luo Spirit Pearl.

"Senior Di Tian, the Star Dou Great Forest is vast, with countless powerful soul beast races. I wonder if there are any soul beasts suitable for my two companions?"

And behind him were two completely different powerful soul beasts.

A trace of gray dyed Shu Yan's pupils. The aura around him changed drastically. It was a thick, substantial, quiet, and solemn aura. Clear incantations came out of his mouth. The pronunciation of these incantations was very raw, but they seemed to be able to trigger the vibration of heaven and earth. A huge hexagram magic circle slowly condensed on the ground, and then wrapped the three of them in it.

Di Tian's brows frowned even tighter, but before he could speak, Shu Yan said again: "If there is a suitable soul beast, I don't mind demonstrating to the Beast God what the so-called soul spirit is..."

As Shu Yan released a spiritual power carrying a kind intention, this spiritual power drilled directly from the forehead of the Abyss Demon Jiao, and then found its soul imprint and spiritual origin unimpeded.

Accompanied by the gradual convergence of the blood-colored halo, a Light-Colored Unicorn, the same size as an ordinary horse, emitting crystal starlight, with a colorful horn on its head, appeared beside Xu Jiujiu. It lowered its head toward Xu Jiujiu. Xu Jiujiu hesitated for a moment, then sat on its back. Points of starlight scattered, and the Light-Colored Unicorn took a step, taking her into the sky. Even though it was just evening, the beautiful starlight was still incomparably dazzling.

After thinking for a moment, Di Tian finally said: "Wait."

The Snow Empress looked at the two not far away, shook her head helplessly, and then pulled Ling Luochen and Su Tong to walk toward the shore of the Lake of Life. It was already far for them to leave tonight, so it was better to camp by the Lake of Life. The Snow Empress liked the scenery here very much, and it was not a bad thing to be able to spend the night here.

This Light-Colored Unicorn looked at the crowd, but did not choose to stand still behind Di Tian like the Abyss Demon Jiao. Its white hooves moved, then it came to Xu Jiujiu's side, lowered its head to sniff the aura on Xu Jiujiu, and a flash of palpitation appeared in its eyes, then it slowly lowered its body, rubbing against Xu Jiujiu like acting like a spoiled child.

Although the Light-Colored Unicorn was not as fatally attractive to Xu Jiujiu as the Light-Colored Unicorn, it could not be denied that the Light-Colored Unicorn was also extremely suitable for the Star Crown martial soul.

Yes, in the process of soul spirit transformation, this Abyss Demon Jiao actually broke through the 100,000-year barrier, evolving from a ten-thousand-year soul spirit to a 100,000-year soul spirit, bringing Han Ruoruo naturally a 100,000-year eighth ring.

"Jiujiu's martial soul has evolved. The strength of the Star Crown originates from the power of the starry sky. She once envisioned with me what the Star Crown martial soul would look like when it evolved to the extreme, but now it seems that the situation is clear. Shedding the shell that carries power, this power has restored its essence and original appearance. This is the starry sky, the true starry sky, the origin of all starry sky power and starlight power."

Finally, Shu Yan gave the answer to this question:

The Light-Colored Unicorn had a very high degree of fusion with Xu Jiujiu. It was precisely because of this that the starlight power and Star Luo Spirit Pearl in Xu Jiujiu's body were integrated into the Light-Colored Unicorn during their contract. After several hours of fusion waiting, this Light-Colored Unicorn with the bloodline of the Light-Colored Unicorn successfully returned to its ancestors. That is to say, Xu Jiujiu's first soul spirit was the Light-Colored Unicorn she had dreamed of before, and it was a Light-Colored Unicorn beast king with a cultivation of over 100,000 years.

A flash of ice-blue appeared in Shu Yan's eyes. The dragon might from the Water Dragon King erupted. At that moment, even Di Tian on the side froze imperceptibly, not to mention the Abyss Demon Jiao whose bloodline was not pure. Whether it was out of dragon might or the desire for life to be prolonged, this Abyss Demon Jiao nodded very obediently. Its intelligence was high, and it naturally understood what Shu Yan meant.

About a quarter of an hour later, Di Tian finally returned to the shore of the Lake of Life.

At the same time, a roar similar to a dragon's chant rang out from Han Ruoruo's body. The next moment, the Abyss Demon Jiao suddenly drilled out from Han Ruoruo's body. Its body, which was only about 15 meters long, was slightly thicker, and its length was close to 20 meters. More importantly, the aura on its body also underwent a transformation. I'm afraid it was only one step away from becoming a true Hell Demon Dragon.

Six soul rings—yellow, yellow, purple, black, red, red—flickered in mid-air. The Light-Colored Unicorn neighed toward the sky, and then, the entire world actually became dim in an instant. Stars dotted the night sky, countless starlight fell, and one could vaguely see meteors streaking across the sky. Wrapped in countless stars, the golden dress on Xu Jiujiu was stained with starlight bit by bit, just like a beautiful star curtain wrapping her. Under the starry sky, Xu Jiujiu was like a queen controlling authority, her whole body's radiance was extraordinary, exuding a unique temperament.

Having obtained what it wanted, the Light-Colored Unicorn was even more delighted. It neighed softly, then turned around and nodded respectfully to Di Tian, meaning it had chosen Xu Jiujiu.

The two women were both smart people, so they naturally understood Shu Yan's meaning. After thinking for a while, both agreed. Han Ruoruo forcefully stopped Xu Jiujiu, then took on the task of the first soul spirit experiment in history. According to her, she owed Shu Yan a life, and this kind of thing should be done by her anyway, not Xu Jiujiu.

Di Tian's figure had long since disappeared. Before leaving, he told the Snow Empress that they could move freely within the Star Dou Great Forest, and the nearby soul beasts would not interfere with them. The soul beast standing on the right side behind Di Tian was covered in blood-red scales, its body thick and long, with the shadow of a dragon-type soul beast, but it also looked like a mutated snake. It had a horn on its head, and surprisingly, that horn was also blood-red. After this soul beast appeared, there was a hint of thick blood smell in the surrounding air.

No one knew better than him what soul spirits represented for the entire human race and even the entire soul beast clan. With soul spirits, or in Shu Yan's words, in the future, as long as human technology reaches the level of being able to manufacture artificial ten-thousand-year or even 100,000-year soul spirits through genes, the fundamental contradictions between humans and soul beasts can be solved. Di Tian didn't consider other problems for the time being. He knew that the Silver Dragon King and Shu Yan were planning a lot. Once all this really succeeded, Di Tian dared not think about what kind of magnificent era it would be...

"It has the bloodline of the Light-Colored Unicorn in its body. Among the unicorn race, if the Light-Colored Unicorn is a king-level existence, then the Light-Colored Unicorn and even the Holy Unicorn are so-called beast emperors. You have the existence of the Star Luo Spirit Pearl in your body, coupled with the rich starlight power of your own martial soul, it is naturally easy for it to feel close to you."

Shu Yan continued: "Very good. Next, I will start guiding your soul imprint to condense. During this period, don't have any resistance. At the same time, cooperate with me to fuse your innate instincts with the soul imprint. Everything must be willing, and then I will help you conclude the contract. At the same time, I can tell you very clearly that if you can't do what I said, your life will probably end early."

Looking at Han Ruoruo, who was full of joy checking her own changes, and then looking at Di Tian, whose expression was shaking, Shu Yan continued: "A 100,000-year soul spirit is different from ordinary ten-year, hundred-year, thousand-year, and ten-thousand-year soul spirits. If the soul master can accept it, it can provide the soul master with up to four or five 100,000-year soul rings. That is to say, after Ruoruo breaks through to level 90, she doesn't need to hunt soul beasts to obtain soul rings. She only needs to rely on the soul spirit to condense them herself, which is not only safe but also has almost no pressure to absorb."

The women narrowed their eyes and looked at the two soul beasts in front of them, and a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.

After the star curtain that blocked the sunset completely dissipated, Xu Jiujiu landed slowly. That golden dress was covered with starlight, gorgeous, noble, and beautiful. Shu Yan let the girl throw herself into his arms, then enjoyed the fragrant kiss that Xu Jiujiu couldn't wait to offer. The sour smell of love made the Ice Empress on the side pout her mouth fiercely, stomp her feet, and leave the place.

The same steps, the same process, but the results were a bit different.

Shu Yan only felt it was a bit funny. The experiments he and Electrolux had done before were extremely perfect. Now the success rate was at least 95%. Even if it failed, Shu Yan had means to protect the other party. At most, it would be internal injuries, not to the point of being so serious.

As for the soul beast on the left side behind Di Tian, Xu Jiujiu felt a palpitation in her heart the moment she saw it. Its body was like a horse, with wings on its back, and its whole body was as white as snow, elegant and beautiful. This was a rare Light-Colored Unicorn, and its cultivation was at least over 100,000 years.

Then the whole person disappeared instantly on the shore of the Lake of Life. Taking advantage of Di Tian's departure, Shu Yan briefly explained the concept and meaning of soul spirits to the women. Of course, the focus was on Xu Jiujiu and Han Ruoruo.

However, this kind of thing is the first time since the opening of the world. Even with Shu Yan's repeated comfort and entrustment, the two women still had thick expectations and nervousness in their eyes. If soul spirits could really be as practical as Shu Yan said and replace the traditional soul hunting method, it would undoubtedly be creating history. Even if Shu Yan failed to become a god and fell later, his name would be engraved in the history of the Douluo Continent, shining with amazing light forever.

Speaking of this kind of soul beast, it has some origins with another pure-blood true dragon, the Hell Demon Dragon clan, passed down in Star Dou.

With Shu Yan's patient guidance, a layer of faint golden light began to appear on the Abyss Demon Jiao. Its spiritual origin, soul imprint, and part of the most refined soul power, including the mysterious energy contained in its innate bloodline, all began to condense slowly.

The powerful spiritual power made the women who were originally surrounding them take two steps back. Even Di Tian couldn't help but be surprised. He didn't expect Shu Yan's spiritual power to be so strong.

Abyss Demon Jiao, Shu Yan first thought of this soul beast.

Xu Jiujiu was a bit confused and pleasantly surprised, but she didn't know why this Light-Colored Unicorn would feel close to her.

Shu Yan didn't say anything more. He talked to Old Yi in his spiritual sea again, and then, terrifying spiritual power penetrated his body, instantly wrapping the two people and one beast in it.

"Your life is about to end. If your experiment with her can succeed, your life will continue in another form, and if she can enter the god level in the future, you can also turn into a god with her. Do you understand what I mean?"

And the Abyss Demon Jiao is a descendant of the Hell Demon Dragon clan that has lost most of its true dragon bloodline. This Abyss Demon Jiao in front of him is over 15 meters long, and the color of the horn on its head is as deep as blood condensed, which proves that its cultivation has infinitely approached 100,000 years. Of course, since Di Tian was willing to bring it here, this proves that it did not have the confidence to survive the 100,000-year heavenly tribulation.

Di Tian's pupils shrank. He took a step forward and came to the Abyss Demon Jiao. Looking at the respect and joy in the other party's eyes, Di Tian's expression was trance-like, and then he looked at Shu Yan, who had a smile on his face, and his expression became inexplicably gentler.

Shu Yan didn't say anything more. He came between Han Ruoruo and the Abyss Demon Jiao, and his gaze fell heavily on the Abyss Demon Jiao.

Shu Yan gave Han Ruoruo a few more warnings. Compared to the unruly soul beasts, Shu Yan didn't have to worry about Han Ruoruo, but Zhang Lexuan had been staring at this side, her eyes worried and expectant.

Di Tian glanced at the Abyss Demon Jiao beside him again. Under Di Tian's pressure, even though the Abyss Demon Jiao was still slightly reluctant, thinking of its life that was about to end, it slowly moved to Han Ruoruo's side, its deep pupils staring at the other party.

Shu Yan had a hint of relief and joy in his eyes. The evolution of the Star Crown martial soul was too difficult. The soul ring and soul bone of the Qiluo Tulip, the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, the 100,000-year Light-Colored Unicorn soul spirit, and many other treasures were fused into one body before finally promoting her martial soul to completely transform, becoming the true meaning of the starry sky.

Everything that followed went very smoothly. Under Shu Yan's guidance, Han Ruoruo successfully concluded a contract with this Abyss Demon Jiao. After the energy transformed by the Abyss Demon Jiao and many mysterious symbols all poured into Han Ruoruo's body, the scene fell into a strange silence, but then, accompanied by Han Ruoruo opening her eyes wide, a huge blood-red soul ring rose abruptly from under her feet. That gorgeous blood-red light once made her other seven soul rings look pale.

This Abyss Demon Jiao's age is infinitely close to 100,000 years. The time required to condense successfully will not be too short, but with Electrolux guiding and assisting on the side, all this is not too difficult for Shu Yan. If it really doesn't work, Electrolux can completely "log in and play on behalf," but he mostly just guides Shu Yan. After all, soul spirits need him to spread them.

The Abyss Demon Jiao roared low, as a response to Shu Yan.

Everyone looked at each other, with a hint of shock in their eyes. Using the entire starry sky as a martial soul, that is to say, as long as it is related to the starry sky, it will be suppressed by Xu Jiujiu to some extent. This is already another kind of extreme martial soul, not inferior to any known super martial soul. If Xu Jiujiu is allowed to grow into a Limit Douluo in the future, maybe her martial soul can also exceed the quality limit and become a true god-level martial soul.

Han Ruoruo looked at the two who were kissing forgetfully with a blushing face, pulled Zhang Lexuan's hand, and walked toward the direction where the Snow Empress and the other three left amidst the other party's teasing.

Looking at her best friend who looked back three times for every step, Zhang Lexuan smiled bitterly and rubbed her forehead. Her best friend's sinking was a bit too obvious. She really didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing...

However, too many things happened today, and there were too many things she wanted to think about. Looking at the hazy moonlight in the water mist, Zhang Lexuan could only sigh slightly...
