"What's wrong, Sister Huowu? Brother Muci is back?"
Huo Wu shook her head, grabbed the two girls' arms, and ran towards the place where they had just seen the pillar of light.
That place offers the best view, allowing you to see both the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes and the sunset over the forest.
When they saw where Huo Wu was pointing, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were also stunned by the sight.
Huo Wu looked at Shui Bing'er and said this.
"That location doesn't seem too far away, shall we go take a look?"
Despite being the youngest, Shui Bing'er is actually the most composed.
Moreover, as the only control-type Soul Master among the girls, she is usually consulted when there are problems.
Shui Bing'er looked at the crimson pillar of light in the distance, estimated the distance and time, and pondered for a moment before speaking.
“I calculated the time it took for us to return. Brother Mu Ci should have already broken through to the Soul Emperor level by now.”
“After something like this happened, Grandpa Dugu and Brother Muci will definitely go over to see what's going on.”
"Moreover, that location is already heading into the interior of Sunset Forest, and we might encounter danger on our own."
"So let's just forget about it and wait for Brother Mu Ci to come back and tell us the details."
Hearing Shui Bing'er's analysis, Huo Wu and Shui Yue'er were both somewhat disappointed.
However, the two of them still listened to what Shui Bing'er said.
Although the three of them possessed considerable soul power—one being a Soul King and the other two Soul Masters—they also had combat strength far exceeding that of their peers.
But for just these three people to attempt to traverse dozens of kilometers and enter the Sunset Forest is extremely dangerous.
If they encounter even a few ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, there is a possibility of casualties.
Although the distant scenery was a rare sight, their most important task was not to cause trouble for Mu Ci. At this time, they should stay obediently in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
At the top of a dense forest canopy.
Tang Hao stared wide-eyed at the scene in the distance, somewhat incredulous.
The towering crimson beam of light immediately brought back memories of the scene from twelve years ago.
That was the day he broke through to the Title Douluo level, and also the day Ah Yin left him.
"How is this possible? A sacrificial pillar of light from a 100,000-year-old soul beast! How could there be a 100,000-year-old soul beast in Sunset Forest, and it's being sacrificed to someone?"
Tang Hao was shocked and immediately changed the direction of his flight.
The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well can be explored at any time, but the sacrifice of this 100,000-year-old soul beast is fleeting.
He wanted to see who had gotten this opportunity.
The effects of a 100,000-year soul ring are something only those who have it know.
The sacrificial ceremony.
Everything about the Xuanlu itself was transformed into the purest soul power under the scorching of the sacrificial fire, and through the connection of the pillar of light, it surged wildly toward Mu Ci.
The influx of sacrificial soul power directly caused Mu Ci's first five soul rings to appear outside his body.
Meanwhile, the sixth soul ring, represented by the Xuanlu, began to condense on the outermost layer.
It gradually deepened from light black to pure black, then to blackish-red, until the red halo began to spread over time, condensing into a true blood-red soul ring.
A true 100,000-year-old soul ring!
The long-standing injuries vanished instantly in the face of the intractable sacrificial fire.
At that moment, the Xuanlu also crossed the threshold of 100,000 years and became a true 100,000-year soul beast.
Inside the sacrificial pillar of light, Mu Ci watched as the Xuan Deer gradually transformed into a phantom of soul power, merging into his sixth soul ring.
Bloodline, talent, and even the soul are all contained within it.
Mu Ci frowned slightly; he was reluctant to let Xuan Lu sacrifice everything for him.
Upon seeing the black deer before him, Mu Ci inevitably thought of the bountiful black deer on the immortal ship.
Both are Jianmu trees, so why can't I have a companion spirit beast?
If Mu Ci relies solely on Jianmu's growth, it's unclear when he will be able to passively learn this skill.
Moreover, similar entities do exist in the Douluo Continent, but they simply haven't appeared yet.
Isn't the soul ten thousand years later something like this?
Since Electrolux can do it, he can give it a try too.
As Mu Ci pondered this, a thought arose in her mind, and the power of abundance began to appear within the sacrificial pillar of light, starting to connect with the soul of the Xuan Deer that was gradually merging into the soul ring.
He then guided it from the spirit ring to the Jianmu tree in the origin of his martial spirit.
Within the primordial space, the soul of the Xuanlu gradually solidified.
The moment its consciousness returned, it immediately saw the abundant Jianmu tree in front of it.
The supreme status caused Xuanlu to kneel down, not daring to look directly at or offend the divine miracle before him.
However, Mu Ci clearly wouldn't stop because of Xuan Lu's actions.
Under Mu Ci's control, Jianmu suddenly shook off a golden fruit, which transformed into a stream of light and merged into the soul of the Xuanlu.
This is the third abundant divine fruit born from the Jianmu tree.
The first one was given to Mu Changsheng, and the second one was given to his grandmother Lin Ya after Mu Ci broke through to the second level.
Only this third one has remained inside Mu Ci's body and has not been used.
As a special product of the power of abundance on the Jianmu tree, it is most appropriate to use the divine fruit of abundance to carry the spirit of the Xuanlu.
As the two gradually merged, the spirit of the black deer's eyes became increasingly lively.
Once the final fusion was complete, the spirit of the Xuanlu immediately rose and knelt down beneath the roots of the Jianmu tree to rest.
Looking at the black deer under the Jianmu tree, Mu Ci felt a sense of relief.
The process went very smoothly without any difficulties.
The spirit of the Xuanlu can now appear in the outside world after being summoned by Mu Ci, just like a soul spirit, to help soul masters in battle.
Outside, as time goes by, the sacrificial pillar of light is also slowly fading.
The sixth soul ring, which had been floating for 100,000 years in front of Mu Ci, gradually stabilized, moving up and down in rhythm with the first five soul rings.
Level sixty-five!
Because the soul power obtained from the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast surged out.
Just then, Dugu Bo, who was standing nearby, suddenly noticed two bumps on Mu Ci's forehead.
With a soft "poof," two miniature versions of the Xuan Deer's golden horns emerged from the flesh on Mu Ci's forehead, their sharp points piercing the sky. With a slight sway, golden lightning burst forth.
"This is... an external soul bone?"
"Xiao Ci is really lucky. Not only did she directly obtain a 100,000-year soul ring, but she also obtained an equally precious external soul bone."
Dugu Bo watched from the sidelines, and was very happy to see this scene.
Although external soul bones are peerless treasures revered throughout the continent, Dugu Bo had no other thoughts about them.
After all, the person in front of him was his granddaughter's husband; what ulterior motives could a family member possibly have?
Seeing Mu Ci slowly stand up in the distance, Dugu Bo quickly walked up to Mu Ci.
"Xiao Ci, how are you feeling?"
But the moment Dugu Bo finished speaking, a pitch-black hammer with scarlet patterns appeared out of nowhere.
"Nine Jue of Haotian!"
Chapter 94 Tang Hao Appears, the Battle Begins
A massive, black and red hammer, as large as a small mountain, appeared out of thin air, exuding a strong aura of killing intent that sent shivers down the spines of the two men.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he coldly shouted.
"Who do you think you are, you scoundrel, you're asking for death!"
Nine spirit rings instantly appeared beneath his feet, with the seventh spirit ring, representing the true form of his martial spirit, lighting up simultaneously.
"The true form of the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor!"
A gigantic Azure Phosphorous Serpent King immediately appeared on the spot, its body as thick as a water vat coiled around Mu Ci, protecting him in the middle.
Two beams of grayish-white light shot out from the sinister snake eyes, pointing directly at the pitch-black hammer falling from mid-air.
Medusa's gaze!
The petrification ray, which could normally freeze Hercules Titan for several seconds, only stopped the hammer from falling for less than half a second this time, with minimal effect.
But even this short time is enough.
Mu Ci hadn't retracted his spirit rings; the first five spirit rings instantly fused together the moment Dugu Bo released his Martial Soul True Form.
Abundant Realm!
The ground, spanning hundreds of meters in diameter, cracked open in an instant, and countless dark gold giant trees rose and emerged from beneath their feet, intertwining to form a fortress above the Azure Phosphorous Serpent King.
However, Mu Ci did not stop.
With her domain perception and the distinctive features of the martial soul before her, Mu Ci already knew who the sneak attacker was.
A 100,000-year spirit ring! The Clear Sky Hammer! The Killing God Domain!
Haotian Douluo, Tang Hao!
Although it's unclear why Tang Hao is in Sunset Forest at this time, it's obviously not the time to consider that.
A strike from Tang Hao, the level 95 Haotian Douluo, is not something that can be easily blocked.
The left leg bone of the 70,000-year-old Dragon Blood Tree King unleashes the Dragon's Fury!
The 150% increase in all attributes caused all the Dark Gold Giant Trees to be covered in a layer of blood-red magic runes, greatly increasing their strength.
The first soul skill of the sixth soul ring after 100,000 years! Deer Spirit Divine Power activated!
