The Martial Soul Skeleton, in Douluo Continent's Bone-Changing Susanoo

Chapter 134 Twelve Wings, Chaos Angel

It is said that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion carries the power of the Star Dou Great Forest's fortune. Wherever it is, all soul beasts grow at twice the normal speed, and the chance of a 100,000-year-old soul beast breaking through its bottleneck will increase by twice.

After observing for a while with his X-ray vision and combining it with the description in the original work, Xia Liang began to understand the situation a kilometer away.

The Golden Fire Silver Wolf possesses top-tier Light and Fire attributes.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion possesses the ultimate attributes of light and fire.

From an attribute perspective, the Golden Fire Silver Wolf clan is practically the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's favorite and most nutritious food.

Therefore, the Red King approached the Golden Fire Silver Wolf, probably hoping to make it willingly become food for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, or to make it offer up the old, weak, sick, and disabled Golden Fire Silver Wolves in its pack as food.

Seemingly having reached an agreement, the Golden Fire Silver Wolf suddenly turned and walked forward, with the Crimson King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion following behind.

Sensing the soul beasts a kilometer away preparing to leave, Qian Daoliu looked at Xia Liang and asked, "Child, do you recognize the two newly appeared soul beasts?"

"Hmm. That three-headed soul beast should come from the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound clan. I once read a sentence in an ancient book that said the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest hides some unknown secrets. In fact, the Titan Giant Ape that people are familiar with is not the true overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest."

"Above the Titan Ape, there may be even more terrifying monsters. I think this three-headed Crimson Demon Hound, with a cultivation of over 100,000 years, must be the monster mentioned in the book. As far as I know, the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound clan not only possesses top-tier soul beast bloodlines, but its fire attribute is also close to the ultimate fire. It's not surprising that it can cultivate to be more powerful than the Titan Ape."

After listening to Xia Liang's explanation, Qian Daoliu nodded in deep agreement.

Qian Renxue, standing to the side, gasped in astonishment. "Over 100,000 years of cultivation? Is 100,000 years not the limit for a soul beast?"

"Brother Xue, what are you thinking about?" Xia Liang said seriously, "Even we Title Douluos have a watershed moment, so naturally there is a watershed moment for 100,000-year-old soul beasts as well. Moreover, if the Heavenly Dao allows it, soul beasts can also touch the realm of gods and become divine beasts, just like soul masters."

"Then the soul ring produced by that divine beast must be comparable to a divine ring," Qian Renxue asked.

Xia Liang nodded. "Perhaps. In any case, the Star Dou Great Forest has a history of at least hundreds of thousands of years. Above the hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, there must be even more powerful beings."

"I never expected to find a three-headed Crimson Demon Hound with over 100,000 years of cultivation during this trip down the mountain. This is truly an unexpected delight."

At this point, a look of doubt appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes. "But why is it that the three-eyed golden soul beast hasn't even reached ten thousand years of cultivation, yet the three-headed crimson demon mastiff follows it around like a servant? Child, can you see the mystery behind this?"

"I don't know the specifics either. But what's certain is that if the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound is willing to protect the three-eyed golden soul beast, it means that there is at least one more powerful soul beast in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest that acts as a ruler. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a master-servant hierarchy to exist among soul beasts like in humans."

Xia Liang concealed something, saying, "My eyes and mental power combined can not only see what's happening a thousand meters away, but also see through the primal energy within a living being. Great Elder, that three-eyed golden soul beast just now, like the Golden Fire Silver Wolf, possessed the primal attributes of light and fire. Moreover, it possessed the ultimate light and fire attributes."

"Dual extreme attributes?" Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. "Then the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest that you mentioned is very likely another three-eyed golden soul beast with a higher cultivation level than the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound."

"Well, I'll call the three-headed Crimson Demon Hound the Crimson King. And let's call the three-eyed golden soul beast the Three-Eyed Golden Lion," Xia Liang said.

Qian Renxue frowned. "Brother, what time is it? Still thinking about naming a soul beast? Since that three-eyed golden soul beast possesses extreme light and fire attributes, wouldn't it be more suitable as my Six-Winged Angel's sixth soul ring?"

"Brother Xue, didn't the High Priest just say that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation level is less than ten thousand years? And the other Three-Eyed Golden Lion, suspected to be the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, has a cultivation level exceeding one hundred thousand years. How are you going to absorb their spirit rings?"

After hearing this explanation, Qian Renxue said irritably, "Then what do you suggest we do? We've been searching in the core area for over half a month, and we finally found suitable ones. We can't just watch them get away, can we?"

Xia Liang thought for a moment before looking at Qian Daoliu, "Grand Elder, why don't we make our move now? The Golden Fire Silver Wolf, with its 50,000-year cultivation, is the most suitable sixth spirit ring for Brother Xue, so let's keep it for now. As for the Crimson King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, let's try our best not to harm them. Otherwise, if we anger the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, it might trigger a beast tide. If the beast tide attacks the city and causes countless people to suffer, we will be sinners in the spirit master world."

Qian Daoliu smiled with satisfaction. "Child, it's truly rare for you to have such foresight. Don't worry, I will heed your advice. Xiaoxue, no matter what happens later, don't lose your composure. Follow your brother's arrangements, understand?"

"Understood, Grandpa." Qian Renxue replied and glanced at Xia Liang. She hadn't expected her grandfather to trust this virtuous younger brother so much.

"Child, if anything unexpected happens later, I believe you will make the right choice. I'm entrusting Xiaoxue to you."

After saying that, Qian Daoliu gave Xia Liang a look, and then his whole body transformed into golden light and flew into the sky, heading towards the direction where the Crimson King, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the Golden Fire Silver Wolf had disappeared.

Although Qian Daoliu didn't explicitly say it, Xia Liang knew from that look that he meant for Qian Daoliu to flee the scene immediately if anything went wrong.

As a level 99 peerless Douluo and a demigod, Qian Daoliu should have been able to roam freely in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, the spirit beasts in the unknown territory made him uneasy. If the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest had cultivation equivalent to the hundreds of thousands of years of history of the Star Dou Great Forest, and possessed the two extreme attributes of light and fire, then even a peerless Douluo might not be able to win easily.

In the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, a battle with the rulers of the forest would inevitably involve being besieged by a group of soul beasts, all of whom would have cultivation levels of at least ten thousand years.

Xia Liang knew that Qian Daoliu told him to take Qian Renxue with him and escape immediately if he encountered any trouble, not because Qian Daoliu was afraid of not being able to defeat those soul beasts, but because he was worried that he and Qian Renxue would be killed by the aftermath of the battle.

Watching Qian Daoliu transform into golden light and fly towards the direction of the three soul beasts of the Crimson King, Xia Liang was also worried. He knew from the original work that the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest was not another three-eyed golden lion, but the patriarch of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon Clan, the Beast God Di Tian, ​​who had at least 600,000 years of cultivation.

Di Tian possesses the ultimate dark attribute, as well as a Yin-Yang complementary dual soul core, and the Dragon God Claw, a divine skill personally passed down by the Dragon God.

If a fight were to break out, Qian Daoliu's angelic divine power might be suppressed, because in the context of darkness and light being mutually reinforcing and restraining each other, the highest level of ultimate darkness attribute would completely suppress the light attribute of the six-winged angel martial soul.

Moreover, several ferocious beasts with cultivation levels exceeding 400,000 years were hidden around Di Tian as his helpers.

Xia Liang never expected that this trip would not only involve encountering the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but also the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. Perhaps it was because the Golden Fire Silver Wolf was a common target for both him and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion that they met.

A few minutes later.

Just as Xia Liang was worrying about Qian Daoliu, he suddenly noticed a golden light streaking across the sky. His penetrating vision clearly showed that the figure enveloped in the golden light was none other than Qian Daoliu himself.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying aura of darkness descended like a dark cloud pressing down on the city.

Affected by this extreme dark aura, Qian Renxue froze on the spot, her eyes filled with confusion and fear.

"Walk!"

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's shout, Xia Liang immediately reacted. The black and purple wings of his Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul suddenly spread wide, and he picked up Qian Renxue and quickly flew into the sky.

The Blue Silver Emperor activated his right leg bone skill, Flight, combining two flight abilities, which allowed Xia Liang to catch up with Qian Daoliu, who had intentionally slowed down his flight speed.

There was no need for verbal communication; Xia Liang understood Qian Daoliu's meaning with just a glance. The two met in the air and flew side by side towards the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Thanks to his shared extreme dark attributes, Xia Liang was able to avoid being affected by the terrifyingly dark aura that Qian Renxue had just experienced.

Flying behind Qian Daoliu, protected by the soul power aura of this peerless Douluo, Qian Renxue finally recovered from her fear. In Xia Liang's arms, she turned her head to look behind her, where the terrifying dark aura condensed into a black cloud covering a radius of a thousand meters.

A massive, dark purple dragon claw emerged from the dark clouds, then quickly retracted, distorting the space within a radius of several hundred meters.

Seeing this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. "What kind of monster was that?"

"This is probably the true ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest. Compared to this monster, the Titan Giant Ape is like an ant." Xia Liang looked at Qian Daoliu beside him. "Grand Elder, what exactly happened just now?"

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Qian Daoliu said with a solemn expression, "After catching up with the Crimson King and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, I immediately stunned the Golden Fire Silver Wolves that were following them and put them into my soul tool. The forest ruler must have sensed my presence, because it quickly came over."

"I feared that confronting that ruler would bring all sorts of trouble, so I retreated immediately. Child, it's fortunate you accompanied me on this journey; if Xiaoxue had been left alone, I'm afraid she..."

At this point, Qian Daoliu hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped. The fact that the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest could make him, a peerless Douluo, feel threatened showed that he at least had the strength to fight a peerless Douluo.

Fortunately, the right choice was made to evacuate in time. Otherwise, if he had been contaminated by the extreme darkness just now, he could have resisted it with the power of the angel, but his granddaughter had not yet started the angel god test and did not have the protection of divine power. The result would have been that she would have been corrupted by the extreme darkness.

Even if she survives, after her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul is corrupted by extreme darkness, her granddaughter will never have the chance to start the Divine Trial again.

Qian Renxue knew that she was saved thanks to Xia Liang, so she did not resist at all and was carried by Xia Liang. Because of fear, she even hugged Xia Liang's neck tightly, and her whole body was trembling.

Having been affected by the extreme darkness and witnessed the scene of the giant dragon claw tearing through space, Qian Renxue's fear had almost turned into despair.

Surprisingly, this fear and despair stimulated the six-winged angel martial soul within her, causing the martial soul's light attribute to temporarily mutate into a dark attribute.

At that very moment, Xia Liang and Qian Renxue, who were embracing each other, were suddenly enveloped in a layer of gold and black. This was the aura of soul power generated by the fusion of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul.

At this moment, the two auras had completely merged together.

A strange feeling arose simultaneously in Xia Liang and Qian Renxue's hearts. They looked at each other, as if they had become telepathically connected, and almost at the same time said, "Is it a Martial Soul Fusion?"

The unprecedented unanimous agreement startled Qian Renxue. Only then did she realize that she was being held by Xia Liang, and she was also tightly hugging Xia Liang's neck. They were not only embracing each other physically, but their faces were also so close.

A faint blush appeared on Qian Renxue's face. She looked away from Xia Liang, and the feeling of shyness that had just appeared was replaced by surprise.

Because as she looked away, three giants came into view.

Three winged giants appeared behind Xia Liang at some unknown time.

One of the black and purple giants is his necromancer skeleton spirit.

The other dark purple giant resembles a six-winged angel martial soul in its corrupted state.

The third giant is the golden six-winged angel martial soul itself.

Because it appeared behind him, Xia Liang was unaware that only Qian Renxue, who was in his arms looking directly behind him, could see that the three giants, modeled after the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, overlapped during their flight.

As a dark golden light emerged, the three giant figures merged into one, becoming an even larger figure.

The figure looked like a six-winged angel, except that its golden body was covered by a layer of blackish-purple bone armor, and its six wings on its back had become twelve wings.

Qian Daoliu was suddenly drawn to a sacred aura. When he turned around, he saw a six-winged angel martial soul wearing black and purple bone armor.

Wait, it has twelve wings?

Qian Daoliu suddenly felt excited. He vaguely guessed that the twelve-winged angel flying behind Xia Liang and Qian Renxue was probably a martial soul fusion skill that the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul and the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had completed without him realizing it.

The more wings an angel has, the higher his or her rank.

If a six-winged angel is a first-level god, then wouldn't a twelve-winged angel in the state of a martial soul fusion skill correspond to a god-king?

However, what Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue did not know was that the twelve-winged angel that had just appeared in their eyes was indeed a martial soul fusion skill, but it was a three-in-one martial soul fusion skill completed simultaneously by the Necromancer Skeleton Martial Soul, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and the Fallen Angel Martial Soul.

Just now, affected by the extreme dark aura, Qian Renxue's six-winged angel martial soul split off an evil part, making it a fallen angel martial soul.

The twelve-winged angel is a chaotic angel born from the fusion of the angel of light and the fallen angel, possessing a trace of chaotic power formed by light and darkness.
