Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing was shocked and her head was buzzing.
Yu Tianqing's earlier display of his spirit rings had already greatly shocked her.
The first spirit ring was at the thousand-year level, and the second spirit ring reached an even more terrifying ten-thousand-year level.
Now, his third soul ring is about to absorb the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which is 60,000 years old.
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't calm down after just a few thoughts about it.
"A 60,000-year-level spirit ring requires at least the Spirit Saint level to attempt to absorb."
"He... he's only a Great Soul Master who broke through to Soul Venerable, yet his body can withstand a Soul Ring of such a long lifespan?"
Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself, her face full of disbelief.
Just then, Yu Tianqing didn't delay and walked straight toward the body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
He sat down cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the black spirit ring floating in mid-air.
Just as Yu Tianqing was about to begin absorbing the soul ring, Liu Erlong suddenly stopped him:
"etc!"
Yu Tianqing was taken aback, turned around to look at Liu Erlong, and asked in confusion:
"Auntie, what's wrong?"
Liu Erlong's expression was grave, and he said with concern:
"Azure".
"This is a 60,000-year-old spirit ring, its energy is incredibly violent, are you... are you sure you can withstand it?"
Upon hearing what Liu Erlong said, Yu Tianqing smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Don't worry, Auntie!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Tianqing turned around without waiting for Liu Erlong to say anything more.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes, held his breath and concentrated, and then activated the black soul ring that was floating in mid-air.
Immediately, streaks of black light split off from the black soul ring and surged into Yu Tianqing's body like a tide.
"boom!"
In no time, a violent burst of energy erupted.
Under the impact of this energy, Yu Tianqing's body trembled violently.
Upon closer inspection, fine dragon scale patterns appeared on his skin, and the cyan-gold light clashed violently with the black soul power.
A terrifying shockwave emanated from Yu Tianqing and spread outwards in an instant.
Seeing this, Liu Erlong and the others held their breath, not daring to make a sound, for fear of disturbing Yu Tianqing's absorption of the soul ring.
Zhu Zhuqing stared intently at Yu Tianqing, her agitated mind unable to calm down for a long time.
"He's only this young, yet he's already absorbed a 60,000-year-old spirit ring for his third spirit ring."
"How strong a physique would that require?"
Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself, feeling that Yu Tianqing was like a huge mystery.
"You little rascal, you absolutely have to succeed!"
Liu Erlong clenched his fists, silently cheering for Yu Tianqing.
Seeing her nervous expression, Ye Xian'er smiled and said:
"Erlong, don't worry, I believe Tianqing will definitely be able to absorb it successfully!"
In Ye Xian'er's view, after completing the fourth transformation of the Azure Dragon, Yu Tianqing's physique had already improved to a terrifying level.
Absorbing a 60,000-year-old spirit ring is not impossible.
Upon hearing what Ye Xian'er said, Liu Erlong managed a weak smile.
Time passed quietly, and Yu Tianqing was steadily absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
The lingering resentment of the Dark Demon God Tiger suddenly erupted.
"roar!"
Immediately afterwards, a phantom tiger shadow appeared in Yu Tianqing's mental world.
Its scarlet eyes were filled with venom, and it spoke coldly:
"Human...do you think killing me will end it all?"
I'll drag you down with me!
Immediately, terrifying evil thoughts began to erode Yu Tianqing's consciousness like a tidal wave.
"Hmm..."
At the same time, Yu Tianqing let out a muffled groan, his brows furrowed instantly, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.
Everyone noticed something was wrong, and their expressions changed drastically.
"Azure!"
Liu Erlong bit her lip tightly, extremely nervous, staring intently at Yu Tianqing.
"Oh no! It's the backlash from a soul beast's lingering resentment!"
At this moment, Ye Xian'er, who was standing to the side, said in a deep voice.
"The regrets come back?"
"Then what should we do?"
Liu Erlong asked anxiously, unable to resist rushing forward, but was stopped by Ye Xian'er.
"Two dragons are not allowed!"
"Even if you go there now, it won't help you at all."
"Now, Tianqing can only rely on himself to get through this!"
Liu Erlong was taken aback, his face filled with bitterness and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's face also showed tension and worry.
"He...he'll be alright, won't he?"
Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself.
For some reason, Yu Tianqing's every move seemed to provoke her.
Dugu Boning remained silent, his face grim, watching Yu Tianqing intently, a sense of unease creeping into his mind:
"This kid was able to kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, so dealing with its lingering resentment after death shouldn't be a problem, right?"
...
Meanwhile, in the Heavenly Dou Imperial City, at the Crown Prince's residence.
Qian Renxue stood by the window, toying with an exquisite jade pendant in her hand, her gaze distant.
"Jade Sky Blue..."
She whispered the name, and her heart inexplicably quickened.
Earlier, he had met Yu Tianqing several times under the identity of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
In particular, Yu Tianqing also proposed the idea of a "Decree of Grace" to her in order to solve the problem of centralized power among princes and nobles.
After she presented the method of issuing the decree of grace to Emperor Xueye, it received great approval.
Now, with the implementation of the Grace Decree, her position in the Heaven Dou royal family has become more secure, bringing her one step closer to completely controlling the Heaven Dou Empire.
"I actually lost to him in a previous competition and now I owe him three requests."
"I wonder what he'll ask of me next time we meet?"
Qian Renxue muttered to herself.
She had previously appeared in women's clothing and blocked Yu Tianqing's path outside the city, where the two had a friendly sparring match.
Qian Renxue originally thought that with her Angelic Martial Soul and Angelic Divine Power, defeating Yu Tianqing would be a piece of cake.
Little did she expect that Yu Tianqing's strength far exceeded her expectations.
She suppressed her soul power to the same level as Yu Tianqing, making it impossible for her to win.
What was he doing at that moment?
What's wrong with me?
"Why would you think of him like that?"
"Could it be... that she's fallen for him?"
Upon thinking of this, a blush quietly crept onto Qian Renxue's face.
...
At this time, in the Starry Sky Forest.
In Yu Tianqing's spiritual world.
The evil thoughts of the Dark Demon God Tiger ran rampant, and Yu Tianqing's consciousness was gradually overwhelmed by evil.
At this critical moment.
"Aww!"
A dragon's roar suddenly resounded in Yu Tianqing's spiritual world.
When they looked again, they saw Xiaoqing's figure appear there as well.
Its body suddenly expanded, transforming into a majestic azure dragon, its eyes like lightning, its might like a prison.
"You dare to be so arrogant with such mere evil thoughts?"
With a single slash of its claw, the remnant spirit of the Dark Demon God Tiger vanished into nothingness before it could even let out a scream.
Outside, Yu Tianqing's expression returned to calm.
"Boom!"
Immediately afterwards, his momentum surged.
Before long, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul rings had been completely absorbed by it.
A black spirit ring condensed around him.
