Absorbing Soul Rings

Chapter 43 Absorbing Soul Rings

Gradually, the trunk of the crystal elephant began to struggle and move. At first, only the tip of the trunk moved, but then the entire trunk began to move.

However, so far, the Crystal Colossus is still moving very slowly.

Ye Jingqiu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she gripped the short knife in her hand even tighter, afraid that the crystal elephant would suddenly move.

She took a deep breath and then lay down. At this moment, she was only an inch away from the crystal giant elephant. If it moved freely, Ye Jingqiu would be thrown out almost instantly.

But now that they were closer, Ye Jingqiu could see more clearly the gaps between the thick elephant skin and the crystal of the crystal giant elephant.

Ye Jingqiu could clearly feel the fine down on the crystal elephant's body. She inserted her short knife into the crevice and pried open the edge little by little.

She did it very carefully. If the crystal elephant felt pain, it would struggle even harder, and the poison of the Three Snake Formation would dissipate even faster. Although the gap between the two was very small, there was not a single tiny wound on the crystal elephant's body.

Guangling gripped the longbow in his hand, looking nervously at the crystal giant elephant. Just as he was about to let go, Qingluan Douluo's voice came.

"Don't forget what the High Priest said: we should not take action unless it is absolutely necessary to harm the saint's life."

Guangling frowned upon hearing this, but her gaze remained fixed on the crystal giant elephant. "Now we're in a real crisis. If we wait any longer, the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast will rise up, and then it will be too late."

Azure Phoenix Douluo stared intently ahead with a serious expression, not even blinking. He lowered his voice and said, "Wait a minute, just a minute."

"If something really happens later, you and the Grand Elder will behave yourselves." Guang Ling muttered softly, but Qing Luan Douluo ignored him.

……

Ye Jingqiu's lips curled up slightly. Finally, she pried open the crystal on the head of the crystal elephant. She took a deep breath and then exerted force with her hands.

Half of the crystal elephant's head has already been revealed.

She'll be able to insert the dagger soon, very soon.

The crystal elephant suddenly struggled to stand up, and Ye Jingqiu was jolted and stumbled. If she hadn't been holding onto its ears tightly, she probably would have fallen to the ground by now.

"I'm going to make my move," Guangling said seriously.

"Wait a little longer," said Qingluan Douluo.

"Still waiting? Are you crazy, Third Brother?"

Ye Jingqiu knew she couldn't wait any longer, so she disregarded everything else and worked harder, easily removing all the crystals from the crystal elephant's head.

Without the slightest hesitation, she raised the short knife in her hand and brought it down.

As the knife pierced through, Ye Jingqiu seemed to hear the crisp sound of bone being pierced, and blood gushed out instantly.

Ye Jingqiu was extremely calm at this moment. Just as she expected, the crystal giant elephant began to struggle violently. She took a deep breath and then slashed several more times.

The struggles of the crystal giant gradually weakened, and when the last howl subsided, Ye Jingqiu wiped the sweat from his brow, a trace of exhaustion flashing in his eyes.

A black spirit ring appeared on the head of the crystal giant elephant. Ye Jingqiu clearly felt that the power contained in this ten-thousand-year spirit ring was much stronger, and it would definitely not be easy to successfully absorb it.

She turned her head and her gaze fell on the Wind God Eagle that was still lying not far away. This thing was a menace to her. After all, it was a soul beast. Although it hadn't attacked her yet, it would be difficult to deal with if it attacked when she absorbed the soul ring later.

That would have killed her instantly.

Ye Jingqiu knew that Guang Ling and Qing Luan Douluo must be watching her from not far away. "Third Elder, Fifth Elder!"

Sure enough, as soon as she spoke, the two of them were standing in front of her the next moment, but Guangling's expression was not good at this time.

"I am now preparing to absorb this spirit ring. I would like to trouble the two elders to protect me."

Qingluan Douluo nodded, "A ten-thousand-year soul ring is not like those thousand-year soul beasts you absorbed before. Its energy is extremely powerful, and it also carries the resentment of the soul beast before its death. You must be careful when absorbing the soul ring and cannot be careless."

Ye Jingqiu nodded vigorously, then sat down. When the Soul-Capturing Bell appeared in her palm, the black soul ring on the crystal giant seemed to finally find a way to release its energy.

The power of the ten-thousand-year soul ring was extremely domineering, rushing headlong towards the Soul-Capturing Bell in Ye Jingqiu's hand.

When the black aura completely enveloped the Soul-Capturing Bell in Ye Jingqiu's hand, she felt a powerful force flowing from her martial soul into her entire body, even into every meridian.

She tried to control the power, but once it flowed into her body, it became uncontrollable.

They surged and crashed about, as if trying to stretch Ye Jingqiu's body apart. Her meridians had begun to deform, being stretched into a terrifying arc.

Without exaggeration, Ye Jingqiu felt that his body was about to explode.

This energy was extremely solid, just like the crystal on the crystal elephant. Ye Jingqiu tried to push the energy away, but her power couldn't penetrate it at all.

The latest novel is first published here!

It seemed as if we could only passively let this energy run rampant.

Guangling stood seriously not far from Ye Jingqiu. "Third Brother, do you think the Grand Elder might be acting a bit impulsively? After all, she's a Soul Master, and absorbing a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is still a bit difficult for her."

Ye Jingqiu's body was trembling violently, and her mouth was contorted with pain. Her clothes were soaked with sweat.

Azure Phoenix Douluo turned to look at Light Feather with a puzzled expression. "You actually dare to question the Grand Elder's decisions? You've been talking too much today."

Faced with his suspicious gaze, Guangling lowered her head somewhat awkwardly, "After all, she is the Holy Maiden."

Qingluan Douluo sneered and said nothing more.

Ye Jingqiu closed her eyes tightly and frowned deeply. Suddenly, the power gathered completely within her body, forming a sphere.

It surged into her brain along her limbs. Ye Jingqiu tried to stop it, but the force was too strong for her to resist.

The giant ball began to pound against Ye Jingqiu's brain, each strike bringing her excruciating pain.

However, Ye Jingqiu felt no fear whatsoever at this moment.

Because she knew in her heart that if she was even slightly afraid or if her willpower wavered even a little, she would be destroyed by this powerful soul force.

Ye Jingqiu took a deep breath and then focused all his strength into his brain.

The brain is undoubtedly very important and must not be defeated by the power of this spirit ring, but there is nothing else she can do now.

She gathered all her strength to protect her brain.

Now it's a matter of who can outlast whom.
