Douluo: Unparalleled General, Starting by Deceptive Thousand-Snow-Peak 129

Chapter 129: Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring, Experience Boost, and Earth-Shattering Roar

The powerful force of the sacrifice shook the heavens and earth. Even the Sky Azure Bull Python, far away at the Lake of Life, felt this force, filled with both shock and confusion.

“This power… is it Second Brother? Why, why are you opening the sacrificial array!” the Sky Azure Bull Python cried out in alarm.

Actually, the Titan Giant Ape secretly went out to find Xiao Wu, and it knew. It didn’t stop him, thinking that it was just the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, and with the Titan Giant Ape’s strength, there certainly wouldn’t be any problems.

Furthermore, it also missed Xiao Wu a little. If the Titan Giant Ape could bring Xiao Wu back, that would be great. Anyway, in this situation, even if Xiao Wu scolded someone, she would scold Er Ming, that impulsive fellow, not Da Ming.

Being able to see Xiao Wu again, and letting that simpleton Er Ming take the blame, why not?

However, unexpectedly, the Titan Giant Ape encountered something and was forced to sacrifice itself.

The Sky Azure Bull Python immediately guessed that the Titan Giant Ape was coerced. After all, in this world, the only one who could make these brothers willingly sacrifice themselves was Xiao Wu.

The problem was, Xiao Wu was certainly not yet mature; her first few soul rings could be condensed on her own. Moreover, she wouldn’t possibly let her younger brother sacrifice himself for her.

Completely confused, the Sky Azure Bull Python was extremely anxious, but what could it do?

It couldn’t teleport. The distance between the Lake of Life and the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest was simply too far. The Titan Giant Ape had been running for two days. Even if it rushed over at its fastest speed, it would still take at least a day and a night. By then, it would be too late.

But for its younger brother, even knowing it wouldn’t make it in time, it had to go.

A huge ox head emerged from the water, and the Sky Azure Bull Python’s massive body disappeared into the forest.

In that forest, the Titan Giant Ape’s red soul ring had formed. Nan Feihuang shouted, “Now! Chitu, do it!”

“Vermillion Gold Seal!” Chitu used its sealing technique, sealing the Titan Giant Ape’s soul ring power.

Its current cultivation level of the sealing technique was still shallow, and it could only seal this kind of sacrificial soul ring. This was because such soul rings were very stable. If it were a hunted soul ring, the resentment and hatred of the ten-thousand-year soul beast left on the soul ring would resist the sealing power, attempting to forcibly break the seal.

This was also why Nan Feihuang had been inducing the Titan Giant Ape to sacrifice itself. He dared not absorb a soul ring forcibly blasted out; after all, no matter how important strength was, life was more important.

Before, Nan Feihuang had told Chitu that before it formally sacrificed itself to him, it needed to find a test subject to try out the sealing technique’s ability. Nan Feihuang had been thinking of using the Titan Giant Ape or the Sky Azure Bull Python as guinea pigs.

Of course, Nan Feihuang hadn’t deceived it. Chitu would protect its soul, and after Nan Feihuang became a god, he would help it be reborn, becoming a companion spirit beast.

He would also spare Xiao Wu today. As long as she didn’t come looking for trouble in the future, he wouldn’t harm her again.

As for the Sky Azure Bull Python, Nan Feihuang would absolutely not go back on his promise of a spared life.

Perhaps because the sacrifice had already begun, the Titan Giant Ape could sense Nan Feihuang’s intentions, and its power became increasingly stable.

In fact, as long as Nan Feihuang was willing to keep his promise, the Titan Giant Ape didn’t feel like it had lost out.

Because no matter how strong it was, it would eventually die someday. Even if it wasn’t hunted, it would certainly die one day from the soul beast tribulation that occurred every ten thousand years.

The God Realm did not welcome soul beasts becoming gods. Since the fall of the Dragon God, the God Realm had inexplicably increased the difficulty of the soul beast tribulation for soul beasts. Because of this, the rumor spread that if a soul beast reached ten thousand years old and did not choose to transform into a human and cultivate again, it would die within a thousand years.

Actually, it referred to the soul beast tribulation that most soul beasts could not overcome.

Therefore, although the Douluo Continent had existed for countless years, the number of ferocious beasts was only a few.

The Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python were fine; their races were powerful, and there was a possibility of becoming ferocious beasts. But like Xiao Wu, her soft-bone rabbit race had a zero probability. So both she and her mother chose to transform into humans and cultivate.

Today’s sacrifice of the Titan Giant Ape, although temporarily taking its life, also gave it another path to becoming a god.

The blood-red ten-thousand-year soul ring, sealed by Chitu’s Vermillion Gold Sealing Technique, had most of its power sealed, gradually turning black.

This was a sealing technique even more overbearing than the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm’s, directly downgrading the Titan Giant Ape’s soul ring.

But no matter how overbearing it was, sealing was just sealing. The Titan Giant Ape’s power was not gone. As long as Nan Feihuang’s cultivation improved, it could gradually be unsealed.

Nan Feihuang replaced his martial soul with the Dunjia Heavenly Book. He didn’t plan to place the Titan Giant Ape’s soul ring on the Fang Tian Halberd, but chose it as the first ring of the Dunjia Heavenly Book.

Because Nan Feihuang was incredibly envious of the experience-boosting soul skill in the Dunjia Heavenly Book.

No matter what, he had to get this soul skill as soon as possible. A group cultivation speed enhancement skill—it was simply a god-tier skill for cultivating his own team.

His exchange student life was almost over. Afterward, he would return to the Ancient Thunder King Palace and cultivate with Lü Lingqi and Dian Wei. The timing of this soul skill’s appearance was perfect.

“Master, I’ve sealed this guy’s soul ring to about fifteen thousand years. It was a sacrifice, and with your current physique, absorbing it should be effortless,” Chitu said.

“Yeah, don’t worry, Chitu, I don’t feel any pain at all.” Although the soul ring had already entered his body, Nan Feihuang’s expression was very relaxed.

This was mainly because, due to the active sacrifice, the soul ring’s soul power had no aggression and there was no soul shock.

In less than an hour, the first soul ring of the Dunjia Heavenly Book was absorbed, and the seal was very stable.

“Great, Chitu, our experiment was a success!” Nan Feihuang was very happy. With this successful experience, Chitu would be more familiar with the process when it sacrificed itself in the future.

Chitu lightly nodded its horse head, “Thanks to Master’s strategic planning.”

Nan Feihuang quietly felt the first soul ring of the Dunjia Heavenly Book. A ten-thousand-year soul ring naturally brought two soul skills.

One was Military Strategist’s Scheme, the experience-boosting skill Nan Feihuang wanted.

The other was Civil Official’s Skill, the earth-attribute Earth-Shattering Roar, a large-area group attack skill, likely more vicious than Du Guobo’s poison when used against weaker opponents.

For a body with the Three Kingdoms warrior template, having such a soul skill, which was a battlefield killing machine, was no problem.

However, currently, Nan Feihuang couldn’t use Earth-Shattering Roar, and the experience boost was only at the initial stage, only increasing cultivation speed by thirty percent.

This was within Nan Feihuang’s expectations. After all, only fifteen thousand years of power remained, so it naturally couldn’t exert the true power of a ten-thousand-year soul ring. Being able to activate the initial stage was already good.

Anyway, it would gradually recover later, and the experience boost would also change from initial to intermediate, then to advanced, and Earth-Shattering Roar would eventually be able to be used officially.

Finally, Nan Feihuang’s level reached forty-two. A ten-thousand-year soul ring shouldn’t only increase it by this much. It seems that this sealing technique, while so overbearing, wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

But it didn’t matter. The soul power was still in the soul ring, not gone. Just like Tang Hao, after obtaining a sacrificed ten-thousand-year soul ring, in the following years, even without much cultivation, his soul power could continue to rise by gradually absorbing the soul power from the Blue Silver Emperor soul ring. Nan Feihuang was the same. The soul power this ten-thousand-year soul ring could provide him was far more than this. Besides, with the experience boost, soul power cultivation speed was no longer a major problem.

“Huh, what’s this?” Just then, Nan Feihuang discovered that after adding the first soul ring, the Dunjia Heavenly Book seemed to have slightly changed.

The last page was cracked.

He immediately turned to that page, “No, that’s not right, it’s not cracked. This last page is actually stuck to the back cover. Could it be that it needs the soul ring’s power to gradually unseal it?”

At this moment, only a small part of that page was slightly raised. Nan Feihuang could only roughly see the little bit that was exposed.

A few words.

Just those few words shocked Nan Feihuang’s mind.

“This…this is…”
