Chapter 185 Breaking Through to Soul Douluo, the Unyielding Auspicious Beast.
After speaking, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion patted its behind and left.
As arrogant as a lion after pampering its harem, it didn't forget to let out a soft snort.
Jiang Nian rested his chin on his hand, marveling at how foolish everyone in this world, whether human or soul beast, seemed.
He figured he could easily fool this auspicious beast with a few tricks.
However, he wasn't that kind of person.
He'd wait until he was invincible before eating beef.
"Shadow Lord..." Jiang Nian looked northwest, preparing to get up and continue his journey.
Having intelligence was indeed different; there was no need to waste time wandering aimlessly.
Those 100,000-year-old soul beasts weren't stupid; they would generally stay in their own territories and hide when they sensed danger.
Without the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's intelligence, Jiang Nian estimated he would have to search for at least another half a month.
"Squeak." Little White consciously enlarged its body to let the two of them sit on it. It had to be said that having a mount was quite comfortable; he didn't have to walk.
Half an hour later.
Jiang Nian and Qing Yu tried their best to conceal their auras as they observed the dark cave before them.
"Squeak squeak." Xiao Bai sniffed, its expression somewhat excited.
It seemed they had found it.
"A ten-thousand-year-old auspicious beast scared you so much you trembled all over, but you're not afraid at all of a hundred-thousand-year-old Shadow Demon Lord..."
Xiao Bai scratched its rat head awkwardly, implying that a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast could not compare to an auspicious beast.
That kind of existence was related to the fate of all the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest; anyone who dared to touch it would surely meet their death.
Jiang Nian chuckled lightly, not refuting Xiao Bai's point of view.
Auspicious beasts were indeed too special; a fifteen-thousand-year-old one could be compared to a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast.
He couldn't imagine what it would be like when it reached a hundred thousand years.
Jiang Nian composed himself, preparing for battle.
Although he had an ally comparable to the Crimson King, he had to be careful on someone else's territory.
Rumble!
Thick dark clouds covered the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and in the blink of an eye, a torrential downpour began.
Floodwaters rushed towards the cave, and soon a roar echoed from within.
Jiang Nian gripped the Heavenly Dao Umbrella, silently watching the cave entrance, waiting for the Shadow Demon Lord to emerge.
Lightning flashed across the sky, purple-black arcs of lightning striking the surrounding trees, instantly turning them to ashes.
Thump, thump, thump—the earth trembled.
Jiang Nian narrowed his eyes, seeing a head emerge.
"Awakening of Insects!"
Lightning struck rapidly, the Shadow Demon Lord's massive head instantly electrified, causing it to roar in pain.
Qing Yu tossed her hair, her body flashing past.
She calmly gazed at the ferocious-looking Shadow Demon Lord before her, and threw a punch.
Bang!
Half a small mountain was destroyed.
Its body flew backward rapidly, smashing through countless trees that blocked out the sky.
Little White stood obediently on a branch, cheering them on. Jiang Nian didn't give it a chance to react; his sixth spirit ring gently emitted a light.
"Time Stop!"
Shadow Demon Lord's body froze instantly, its bloodthirsty pupils glaring resentfully at Jiang Nian and his companion.
Qing Yu's physical body was incredibly strong. Despite her seemingly weak appearance, a single punch from her could overwhelm even a Title Douluo.
"Dragon Fist!"
A beam of azure light emanated from her fist, slamming it hard into Shadow Demon Lord's back.
*Clang!*
The ground caved in nearly three meters, snapping the surrounding trees and leaving a thousand-meter radius barren.
Time Stop ended.
Shadow Demon Lord suddenly felt immense pain in its back; its body felt like it was about to break, and its hind legs could no longer sense its presence.
Its pupils contracted, staring in terror at the long-haired man before it, wielding a silver sword, his pupils flashing purple and red.
The sword in his hand was also covered with arcs of lightning and flames.
With a light slash, Jiang Nian illuminated the entire dark night.
The rain stopped dripping and was instead tinged with the crimson glow of the sunset.
"Roar!"
Shadow King desperately tried to dodge, but his half-crippled body couldn't escape and could only watch helplessly as the sword energy severed his body.
Some hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest turned their gazes to the northwest, feeling a pang of unease.
At the same time, seeing the sword mark in the sky that illuminated half the forest, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
The night seemed unusually bright.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, preparing to return to the Lake of Life, looked up, its golden eyes flashing with shock.
Jiang Nian, not even a Soul Douluo, had actually achieved this?!
If it had fought that guy back then, even the Crimson King would probably have suffered a crushing defeat…
"Humans… are truly lucky…" A hint of envy flashed in the Crimson King's eyes.
Compared to soul beasts, it was much easier for humans to become gods.
In his view, Jiang Nian was perhaps destined to become a god in the future.
"Actually, if you two really fought, that kid probably wouldn't be a match for you."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion snorted lightly and said indifferently, "I know."
With that, it turned and walked towards the Lake of Life without looking back.
Over here.
Jiang Nian exhausted most of his soul power with a single sword strike, killing the enemy as expected.
A red soul ring appeared on the corpse of the Shadow Demon Lord, drawn by his soul power, and began to attach to the Heavenly Dao Umbrella.
Qing Yu and Xiao Bai surrounded him to protect him, preventing any soul beasts from trying to ambush him.
This was the first time Xiao Bai had seen its master so powerful, and its eyes couldn't help but show admiration as it excitedly ran around him.
In the end, it was kicked dozens of meters away by Qing Yu.
"Quiet down."
Xiao Bai felt its eyes sparkling and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Squeak~"
After a moment, Xiao Bai rubbed its head, thinking about the scene of Jiang Nian's Heavenly Dao Umbrella turning into the Heavenly Dao Sword.
When it opened the umbrella, it was as warm and gentle as jade.
When it drew the sword, it was filled with murderous intent.
It never imagined that a martial soul could change forms. This damn thing was outsmarting it!
Slowly, Jiang Nian successfully absorbed the Shadow Demon Lord's soul ring.
Without hesitation, he checked what soul bone it had dropped.
"Right arm bone..."
Jiang Nian took a deep breath and began absorbing.
Now his soul bones were almost complete, only lacking a torso bone.
Perhaps he could obtain it when he broke through to the title level.
Jiang Nian closed his eyes and entered a meditative state again. Qing Yu stood quietly, watching the gazes cast from the shadows.
Among them were soul beasts fifty or sixty thousand years old, and even one hundred thousand years old.
However, faced with her aura, those soul beasts who knew they were no match silently left, and soon no more soul beasts coveted the darkness.
Only when daylight broke did Jiang Nian open his eyes.
"Phew, that felt good."
Now his soul power was level eighty-three, and his physical attributes were even stronger than those of a hundred thousand-year-old soul beast.
He was now practically a humanoid beast king.
However, facing Xiao Qing, he would probably still be at a disadvantage.
He still vividly remembered how a single punch had shattered half of Shadow Lord's body.
