Douluo Continent: A Moment of Godhood and Demonhood, Inheriting the Dual Godhoods of Good and Evil

Chapter 20: Fighting the Rock-Armored Demon Ape Alone, Second Soul Ring

The ghost raised its head, its face showing slight surprise, but mostly gratitude.

But after thinking about it...

He calmly offered his reminder.

"We are grateful for your kindness, young master, but His Holiness the Pope has decreed that all wealth acquired during a mission must be reported. Failure to do so will result in..."

"No need, my rules are rules, you can just accept them."

Qian Renxin waved his hand.

Grand Elder Qian Daoliu is his grandfather, Pope Qian Xunji is his father, and the future successor to the Angel God is his sister.

Giving someone a 40,000-year-old soul bone would require a lot of haggling.

The ghost was a little stunned.

It seems they didn't expect Qian Renxin's answer to be so domineering.

The worldly and shrewd Yue Guan quickly stepped in to smooth things over.

"What are you standing there for, you old ghost? Hurry up and thank the young master."

"Thank you for your kindness, young master."

The ghost immediately bowed its head in gratitude, its heart slightly excited.

With this soul bone, his combat ability will be enhanced once again.

It would take the ghost several days to completely refine this 40,000-year-old soul bone.

Qian Renxin wasn't in a rush, so he didn't urge him further.

It would be a good opportunity to familiarize himself with his new soul skill, so he found a cliff to practice his sword techniques.

As he became engrossed in wielding the greatsword,

A two-thousand-year-old rock-armored demonic ape suddenly rushed over, roaring and chasing at Qian Renxin and Ling Yuan, seemingly eyeing this cliff.

Ling Yuan stood aside and sneered, speaking disdainfully.

"Young Master, use it to practice. Soul Masters must grow in battle. I will intervene in time, so don't worry about your safety."

"Um."

Qian Renxin nodded.

Without the slightest carelessness, he held the divine and demonic greatsword horizontally in front of him.

In terms of hierarchy,

A two-thousand-year-old soul beast can already rival a Soul Master of level thirty or higher.

However, ordinary Soul Masters are absolutely no match for Soul Beasts of the same level.

The Rock-Armored Demon Ape is covered in rock for defense, making its strength and defense quite impressive among soul beasts of the same level. It's rumored to possess a trace of Titan Ape bloodline, but this is merely a legend and has no verification.

Seeing that Qian Renxin did not leave voluntarily, and even adopted an attacking stance,

The Rock-Armored Demon Ape was an impatient soul beast; it immediately leaped up, bracing itself with its hands, and slammed its two large fists down heavily.

Qian Renxin remained calm and ignored its attack, even swinging his greatsword behind him.

Just as he was about to strike...

He used his soul skill, Spatial Jump, to appear behind the demonic ape. His sword strike landed on its back, scattering many small stones.

This is a small-scale fighting technique he developed.

The weight of the Divine Demon Greatsword increases with his strength, so no matter how strong he is, his attack speed is generally not very fast.

However, as long as it is combined with the ability to jump through space,

If you strike in advance, and the enemy is within ten meters, you're almost guaranteed to hit.

The Rock-Armored Demon Ape let out a muffled groan, sent flying several meters away by the heavy blow.

Beyond the pain on his face, there was even more shock.

Unable to develop any intelligence, it was incredulous at Qian Renxin's instantaneous teleportation, its already small eyes widening in disbelief.

"They're pretty tough; my attack only slightly broke their defense."

Qian Renxin praised without reservation,

It should be noted that the current Divine Demon Giant Sword already weighs over two thousand kilograms, and combined with his strength, its power is truly considerable.

Ling Yuan, who was quietly watching the drama unfold, was somewhat speechless.

The opponent is, after all, a formidable two-thousand-year-old soul beast. Do you really think you can kill it with a single sword strike?

It's already quite an achievement to be able to break through the Rock Armor Demon Ape's defense with sword techniques; even some Soul Masters can't break through its defenses.

The wounded Rock Armored Demon Ape felt a pang of fear.

Reach your hands into the earth, drawing upon its power to repair the shattered rock armor.

Qian Renxin did not rush to press his advantage.

Unleashing his demonic martial spirit, his entire body emanated a surging crimson demonic aura, and the giant sword transformed accordingly.

The Rock-Armored Demon Ape sensed something was wrong and immediately prepared to turn and flee.

And in just a moment

Qian Renxin, shrouded in demonic energy, caught up with it. His heavy sword became much lighter, and countless blood-red sword lights attacked the demonic ape.

The Rock-Armored Demon Ape could only retaliate from its spot, unleashing a barrage of punches at the figure.

Unfortunately, it wasn't very useful.

The latest novel is first published here!

Amplified by demonic energy, Qian Renxin moved with incredible speed, appearing as a faint afterimage as he dodged attacks while simultaneously slashing his sword around the creature's body.

Each sword strike dealt minimal damage, leaving only a slight mark on the rock armor.

However, the speed of the slashes was too fast; it could unleash dozens of sword beams almost per second, and in just four or five seconds, it completely shattered the rock armor.

Without the protection of the Rock Armor,

The demonic ape panicked completely and dragged its bloodied body, preparing to flee.

But its speed is extremely slow.

After being transformed by the two immortal herbs, his demonic energy contained a chilling poison that would slowly take effect once it seeped into his body.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, he let out a pleading whimper.

Qian Renxin ignored him.

He transformed into a divine martial spirit, held the Holy Light Greatsword before him, gathered divine power throughout his body, and silently stared at the struggling demonic ape with his pure golden eyes.

He only needs two seconds to successfully charge up his power.

The injured demonic ape could only escape if it could unleash a speed of 25 meters per second.

Of course, this is impossible.

A swift golden light flashed, and the demonic ape split in two, revealing purple soul rings.

Qian Renxin dispersed his divine form and the giant sword of gods and demons, saying with a hint of regret:

"What a pity, I didn't get any external soul bones or anything..."

"Young Master, what are you thinking? Soul bones aren't that easy to obtain, especially the rarest external soul bones," Ling Yuan said, both amused and exasperated.

Qian Renxin didn't say much.

The treatment of time travelers was difficult for the original inhabitants to understand.

Tang San once obtained the Eight Spider Lances, an external soul bone, from a two-thousand-year-old human-faced demon spider.

He absolutely wouldn't miss out on this cheat-like soul bone.

However, the main task at present is to search for spirit rings, so there is no large-scale capture of human-faced demon spiders.

After all, the Star Dou Forest is so vast, and it will be more than ten years before Tang San obtains his soul bone. If they really search for it, they will definitely have to search the entire mixed zone, which is a huge undertaking.

After leaving the cliffside training,

Qian Renxin rode on Ling Yuan's back, preparing to return to the camp.

Halfway there, they discovered a wind-attribute wolf-like spirit beast fleeing on the ground; it was agile, with a slender yet powerful physique.

Meanwhile, a group of soul masters were also pursuing the soul beast in the distance.

Seeing Qian Renxin's curiosity, Ling Yuan used her spiritual power to sense something.

"Young Master, that's a Gale Wolf King that's about six thousand years old. What do you think of it?"

"That's it! It'll be my second spirit ring!"

Qianrenxin made a decisive decision.

Inherit Li Xin's skills

His second spirit ring is definitely related to sword energy.

If you want to unleash sword energy with the Divine Demon Greatsword, a wind-attribute soul ring is the most suitable, as its attribute is gentle and will not conflict with the divine and demonic attributes.

Six thousand years is a bit too much for him, but it's definitely within his tolerance range.

"Okay!"

The kite was also excited and swooped down.

I never expected that simply taking the young master out for some sword practice would lead to such a great achievement.

The first spirit ring, Ghostly Charm, was the most meritorious, so he was rewarded with a 40,000-year spirit bone.

Given Qian Renxin's lavish generosity towards his own people, he would certainly not treat her badly.
