The Offering Hall.
Qian Daoliu suddenly opened his eyes, staring at the anomaly in the sky in shock.
"That is… the True Sun Fire!"
No—wait!
Why has the True Sun Fire turned into golden flames?!
As the current inheritor of the Angel Martial Soul lineage, no one was clearer than Qian Daoliu, a rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo, about what the golden sun signified.
That was the ultimate form of the True Sun Fire.
It wasn't without reason that Qian Daoliu lost his composure.
The Angel God was not truly a Sun God. Although she could borrow the power of the True Sun Fire, it was incomplete—at most five percent of its true might.
But golden flames?
That was the Great Sun Golden Flame, the real thing!
Yet just as Qian Daoliu was shaken, the phenomenon in the sky faded as quickly as it appeared. He hadn't even been able to trace the aura's source.
Within the Wuhun Hall's Forbidden Grounds.
Bibi Dong's violet eyes finally returned to clarity, her uncontrollable Killing God Domain completely suppressed.
She stared in disbelief at Su Linfeng lying unconscious in her arms.
The energy released by his Martial Soul Awakening had been too immense.
At only six years old, how could he possibly endure such an overwhelming surge?
Gentle scarlet-golden soul power coursed around Bibi Dong's body. Under its soothing warmth, her Killing God Domain and the aura of her two Spider Emperors weakened to silence. Even the hallucinations that had plagued her since returning from the Slaughter City—those maddening whispers—faded into nothingness.
"This is… an Innate Domain!!!" Bibi Dong's jaw dropped.
What kind of innate domain could suppress her Killing God Domain?
Even restrain the power of her twin Spider Emperors?
She knew well—Qian Renxue's Angel Domain could never subdue the Killing God Domain. Yet this boy's domain actually made it docile!
Impossible!
And then—two soul rings emerged from Su Linfeng's body, floating and pulsing with rhythm.
One yellow. One purple.
"Innate Full Soul Power—twentieth rank! His first ring is a hundred years, his second ring is a thousand years!"
Bibi Dong gasped aloud, utterly petrified.
Shock wasn't enough to describe her state.
This was simply inconceivable.
She knew that after a soul beast transformed and awakened a Martial Soul, it could select its own rings—its past powers divided and refined into soul skills. But this was normally limited to ten-thousand-year beasts, never something so outrageous.
Yet here before her—an Innate Domain, Innate Full Soul Power, and two self-generated soul rings of hundred-year and thousand-year quality.
This overturned all of the spirit master theory.
It even surpassed the Angel Martial Soul's divine inheritance!
No wonder he could withstand Qian Renxue's soul skill with only his physical body.
Su Linfeng was simply a little monster.
"Mm… sister…"
The unconscious boy murmured in her embrace, nuzzling against her instinctively—his little hands claiming what once had been his sustenance.
"You brat, even after three years, you still won't drop this bad habit!"
Bibi Dong's sternness melted into a rare smile. She reached down and pinched his nose lightly.
"Don't tell me you still want to eat? I don't have any for you at the moment. But you've truly given me the greatest surprise."
"If you're this disobedient, how could I ever bear to eat you in the future?"
"Mm… want sister… want sister…" Su Linfeng mumbled again, snuggling closer into her chest.
Bibi Dong laughed softly.
A rare, beautiful laugh—her smile dazzling, her allure breathtaking.
Without the Killing God Domain's corruption, she seemed almost like the woman she once had been.
Sadly, Su Linfeng wasn't awake to see it.
For days, she had been tormented by sleepless nights under the Killing God Domain's influence. Now, wrapped in the warmth of the Golden Flame Domain, drowsiness overtook her.
Holding Su Linfeng in her arms, she drifted into slumber.
Tonight—for once—she would dream a good dream.
The next morning.
Su Linfeng stirred awake, stretching his small body, feeling utterly drained.
Glancing around, he realized Bibi Dong had already left.
He remembered what had happened the night before—his Martial Soul Awakening! Excited, he quickly checked his own condition.
What he found shocked him even more.
His new form's talent was far more outrageous than his cultivation as a soul beast had ever been. Truly, as the saying goes, the heavens leave a single path open for survival.
Human evolution birthed gifts that even soul beasts could not compare with.
The Golden Flame Domain—something he had only awakened near his hundred-thousand-year threshold in beast form—was now his Innate Domain.
The Golden Flame Domain: it could suppress, dispel, incinerate, and strip away all non-divine physical or spiritual domains. For himself, it boosted all attributes by fifty percent, fire attributes by a full hundred percent, and his overall power by seventy percent. In beast form, all effects are doubled.
Su Linfeng was dumbstruck.
Suppress, dispel, incinerate, strip away… Those were effects even his beast body had never possessed.
And then—he noticed his two soul rings. One yellow, one purple.
The yellow ring granted: Heavenly Flame Rift—channeling True Sun Fire into a ten-meter radius, followed by a secondary Flame Burst, detonating for area damage.
The purple ring granted: Heavenly Flame Storm—three fire tornadoes infused with thunder, encircling him to attack and defend, ravaging everything within a hundred meters.
Wait a minute!
Other people's first rings gave them little tricks like binding grass or minor flames. How did his become devastating large-scale techniques?!
And his first ring wasn't even a standard hundred years—it was close to a thousand!
Absurd.
Had he known, he would've transformed earlier instead of attempting the two-hundred-thousand-year tribulation.
A blessing in disguise indeed.
And Bibi Dong's dark aura seemed only to stir his potential further. Another fortunate coincidence.
Time to test it.
Su Linfeng leaped to his feet.
He followed Bibi Dong's aura, heading toward the lake outside the courtyard.
But as soon as he stepped beyond the grounds, he froze at the sight before him.
Qian Xunji had arrived at the forbidden area.
Hovering arrogantly in the air, his Angel Domain pressed Bibi Dong to the ground.
"I'll ask you one last time," Qian Xunji declared coldly. "Yesterday's Great Sun Golden Flame phenomenon—did you sense its location?"
"I don't know!"
Forced down on one knee, Bibi Dong glared up at him, eyes blood-red. "I truly don't know!"
Her aura was suppressed within five meters, and even her Killing God Domain was unable to extend further. The gap in strength was too great—her domain could not bridge it.
A rank ninety-five Peak Douluo like Qian Xunji was no joke.
Without Tang Hao's intervention in the future, she would never have been able to kill him.
"Hm?"
"This little beast has already grown this much?"
Qian Xunji finally noticed Su Linfeng. His gaze narrowed.
"And he's even awakened a Martial Soul?"
"No… something's wrong!"
A frown furrowed his brow.
He's clearly a transformed soul beast—yet why can't I sense even the slightest beast aura from him?
