Feeling the softness of Shui Yue'er's delicate body, Mu Ci said helplessly.
“I didn’t fight back when you hit me, otherwise you would have been tied up on the spot immediately.”
"Hmph, if it weren't for the training mission of the Tian Dou team, plus Sister Yan Yan and Sister Ling Ling, we would definitely be able to defeat you."
Shuiyue waved her little fists in front of Muci, showing off her strength to the Great Demon King Muci.
Huo Wu was in a good mood because she had just tested her newly acquired fifth soul skill, and she was not upset about the defeat at all.
Jin Hong looked at Mu Ci with her beautiful eyes and smiled, "Aci, because of that Fallen Soul Master secret technique that the sect received before, you haven't been able to cultivate properly for the past year. When are you going to break through to Soul Emperor?"
Mu Ci felt the flow of soul power within his body, paused for a moment, and then smiled.
"Today, now."
Chapter 92 The Deer's Cry, Soul Beast Sacrifice
The girls were taken aback by Mu Ci's words, including Shui Bing'er, who had just landed.
Amidst the surprised and delighted gazes of the others, Mu Ci sat down directly on the spot, and her soul power began to surge.
The previous battles hadn't actually consumed much soul power, especially since there was a soul power absorption attribute within the domain.
At this time, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Mu Ci was at his peak.
Seeing Mu Ci engrossed in cultivation, the three women all wore joyful smiles on their beautiful faces.
The women were genuinely happy about their partners' progress, even more so than about their own soul power improvement.
At this moment, Dugu Bo appeared beside the women.
Dugu Bo had been watching from the sidelines ever since the fight began.
Now that Mu Ci needs to break through his bottleneck, he naturally comes out to help keep an eye on things.
"You girls go back and pack your things first. I'll keep watch here."
Upon seeing Dugu Bo's figure, the three women breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although it's safe here, having an elder by your side makes one feel much more at ease when breaking through to higher levels of soul power.
Shui Bing'er looked at Dugu Bo and said, "Okay, Grandpa Dugu, then we'll go back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye first. We'll leave Brother Mu Ci to you."
Dugu Bo waved to the group.
"Go ahead, don't worry about Xiao Ci, it's just breaking through a bottleneck."
Shortly after the group left, Mu Ci's soul power fluctuated, and she opened her eyes.
Looking at Dugu Bo beside her, Mu Ci smiled and said, "Grandpa Dugu, you've arrived."
Dugu Bo nodded excitedly, looking at Mu Ci.
"Sixteen years old, no, not even sixteen yet, and he has already broken through to the Soul Emperor level. If this gets out, the entire continent will be shocked once again."
"So, have you chosen a target for your sixth spirit ring?"
Dugu Bo knew that Mu Ci had a habit of locking in the next required spirit ring or spirit beast in advance, so he asked directly when he saw Mu Ci breaking through.
But just as Mu Ci was about to answer, a deep deer cry suddenly came from the distant forest.
Yo—
The deep, drawn-out cry of the deer, like rolling thunder, pierced through the dense forest and reached the ears of the two.
"This is?"
The deer's cry immediately drew their attention.
With a thought, Mu Ci projected his senses along the endless plants.
An old deer, its entire body covered in dark blue fur, with two golden antlers crackling with golden lightning pointing straight into the sky.
Sensing the strange gaze directed at it, Xuanlu exhaled heavy breaths, its mental energy emanating outwards.
"Lord of Abundance, please come and meet me."
Mu Ci, dozens of kilometers away, also received Xuan Lu's telepathic message and withdrew his senses.
Looking at Dugu Bo, who seemed somewhat surprised and uncertain, he spoke up.
"Grandpa Dugu, let's go take a look. There's a chance I can get my sixth spirit ring there."
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up as he looked at Mu Ci and asked, "You mean the deer's cry just now?"
Mu Ci neither confirmed nor denied the allegations.
He could sense that the life force of the black deer was about to be extinguished, and there were only a few options to summon it.
Without hesitation, the two, led by Dugu Bo, flew directly towards the location of the Xuan Deer in the distance.
At Dugu Bo's current speed, he can cover tens of kilometers in no time.
As soon as Dugu Bo arrived at the place, he was shocked by the golden thunder deer that was more than ten meters tall in front of him.
"This is the Golden Thunder Deer, one of the beast kings deep in Sunset Forest. How did it end up here?"
"Xiao Ci, should we go down? Don't underestimate this Xuan Deer just because it's less than 100,000 years old. Its golden lightning is unparalleled, and even ordinary titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand its power."
Upon hearing Dugu Bo's question, Mu Ci nodded.
Previously, I could only vaguely sense that the black deer's life was coming to an end, but it wasn't very clear.
But upon closer inspection, the black deer's life force resembled a flickering candle flame, constantly burning away its last bit of vitality.
However, considering the lifespan of a soul beast, even at its last bit, it can still last for a few more months.
"Go down, Grandpa Dugu, he's the one who sent me."
Although he landed not far from the Xuanlu following Mu Ci's instructions, Dugu Bo did not let his guard down.
Xuanlu's Golden Thunder Evil-Slaying and Killing Technique greatly restrained him, but he didn't need to confront the opponent directly; he only needed to protect Mu Ci.
Mu Ci walked out from beside Dugu Bo and stood not far from Xuan Lu.
With the help of the Abundant Power, Mu Ci could sense some of Xuan Lu's emotions; the other party only felt some relief and joy.
There was not a trace of malice towards humanity.
"Supreme Lord of Abundance, I can sense your status, which is even more noble than the source of life in this world."
"My life was scarred by the battle with a great enemy, and in just over a thousand years, my vitality has been exhausted."
"Fortunately, I had lost all hope, but over the past few years I have vaguely sensed your presence."
“I have witnessed the ascension of the angel god and the sea god, and I can assure you that you are far superior to both of them.”
"Therefore I would like to ask you to accept my sacrifice."
As one of the major beast kings of Sunset Forest, the Xuanlu is nearly 100,000 years old.
However, due to his injuries, his life force was rapidly depleted, making him powerless against the threat of the 100,000-year heavenly tribulation.
If it weren't for this, the black deer wouldn't have had the idea of sacrificing itself.
However, although the Xuanlu has not reached 100,000 years, it still possesses the ability to sacrifice.
Mu Ci stood before the Xuanlu, and the deep deer cry, carrying spiritual fluctuations, conveyed its meaning into the sea of consciousness.
Because mental fluctuations are unidirectional, Dugu Bo, who was standing to the side, could not understand Xuan Lu's meaning and looked at Mu Ci to ask.
"Xiao Ci, what does this black deer mean?"
Mu Ci didn't turn around, but answered Dugu Bo with her back turned.
"This black deer wants to be offered as a sacrifice to me."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo's eyes widened. In all his years of life, he had only ever heard of soul beasts being sacrificed, but he had never seen a real case.
Mu Ci activated the power of abundance, his palm glowing with a blue light, and placed it on the forehead of the black deer.
Looking into Xuanlu's already slightly cloudy eyes, Mu Ci replied.
"I accept your sacrifice."
"I promise that when I become a god, you will reappear on the Douluo Continent in your complete form."
Upon hearing Mu Ci's promise, a golden light flashed in the Golden Thunder Deer's pupils, and it immediately stood up from the ground.
Suddenly, thunder roared across the sky, and the local celestial phenomena changed instantly.
Rolling dark clouds filled the sky, and golden lightning tore through the heavens, colliding directly with the golden horn of the Xuanlu deer, sparking countless bolts of lightning.
Upon seeing this, Mu Ci looked at Dugu Bo behind her.
“Grandpa Dugu, you can stand further away. If you get too close, the shockwaves from the sacrifice might affect you.”
Dugu Bo frowned, finding it hard to believe that this black deer would be so kind.
After all, there is the most acute conflict between human soul masters and soul beasts, which can be described as a life-or-death enmity.
However, based on his long-standing trust in Mu Ci, Dugu Bo still retreated a hundred meters.
After Dugu Bo left, only Mu Ci and Xuan Lu remained in the forest clearing.
The black deer urged its last bit of life force to burn itself.
Soul power, bloodline, and everything else transformed into a towering red pillar of light that enveloped both of them.
The sacrifice begins!
Chapter 93 External Soul Bone, Surprise Attack
The sacrificial pillar of light reached the heavens and the earth, and could be clearly seen even from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, which were dozens of kilometers away.
Meanwhile, Huo Wu, who had finished cleaning and was waiting outside for the Bingyue sisters, clearly saw this scene.
He immediately ran quickly to the front of the two people's house.
"Bing'er, Yue'er, come out and see!"
The urgent shouts immediately interrupted the two sisters who were still taking a shower. They tidied themselves up a bit and came out of the house.
Shui Bing'er looked at Huo Wu at the door with some confusion.
