Jet-black angelic feathers scattered across the land, drifting toward the caverns where traces of life pulsed. Moments later, luminous butterflies emerged, radiating an aura of divine light. 

A pair of sapphire wings spread open in an instant. The forewings shimmered between deep blue, azure, and pale blue, creating a mesmerizing gradient. The entire wingspan resembled a sky-blue canvas embedded with brilliant halos, forming a V-shape that illuminated the mortal realm. Its shape and colors were breathtaking—flawless, beyond compare. Like the vast ocean adorned with white-capped waves, its deep purple-blue hues and intricate patterns exuded an awe-inspiring beauty. The wings alternated between deep, vivid, and pale blues, while the white inscriptions on them sparkled like embedded gemstones, dazzlingly radiant and utterly enchanting. 

The corners of Qian Renhan's lips curled upward. "No wonder... No wonder the aura of light here is so strong. A god-level soul beast—the Light Goddess Butterfly." 

If the Six-Winged Angel was a first-tier god among martial souls, then the Light Goddess Butterfly ranked as a second-tier deity. Its soul ring was undoubtedly the perfect choice for enhancing the light attribute of the Six-Winged Angel. 

Within the Light Goddess Butterfly clan, the leader was an enormous, elegant butterfly spanning eight meters in both body length and wingspan. 

Qian Renhan extended a hand, condensing his soul power into a massive, pitch-black palm. The dark energy seized the Light Goddess Butterfly's leader, pulling it toward him. "I know you can understand me," he said coldly. "Either sacrifice yourself, or your entire clan perishes. Choose." 

As a god-level soul beast, the Light Goddess Butterfly possessed remarkable intelligence. It might not rival the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger—one of the monstrous prodigies among soul beasts—but it was undoubtedly far more intelligent than an eighty-thousand-year-old Blue Silver King, almost comparable to humans. 

Qian Renhan had no intention of exterminating the entire Light Goddess Butterfly clan just for a single soul ring. He held no affection or sympathy for soul beasts, yet he understood the principles of sustainable development. By demanding the clan leader's sacrifice, he merely wished to ensure that its accumulated essence would not go to waste. 

"Human," the Light Goddess Butterfly's voice echoed through spiritual transmission. "Your soul rings are already full. Why do you seek mine? Besides, my soul ring does not match your martial soul at all." 

Its voice was unexpectedly pleasant, though laced with fury. Had it surpassed the hundred-thousand-year threshold, its spoken words would likely resemble this telepathic transmission. 

"Brother!" 

A clear, melodious voice rang out. Qian Renxue, her four angelic wings unfurled, had followed Qian Renhan's aura and arrived. 

"Choose—sacrifice or annihilation." 

Qian Renhan couldn't be bothered to explain. Seeing Qian Renxue's Six-Winged Angel martial soul, the Light Goddess Butterfly should already understand. Once again, his massive hand extended, releasing black soul power that imprisoned a cluster of younger Light Goddess Butterflies, whose cultivation ranged only from decades to a few centuries. 

"Human, I am willing to sacrifice myself. Just spare my clan." 

The Light Goddess Butterfly's voice carried both despair and helplessness. It had no chance of resisting Qian Renhan's overwhelming power, not to mention the presence of two Title Douluos standing by. The only way to protect its kind was to comply. 

Qian Renhan loosened his grip, withdrawing his soul power. "Then begin the sacrifice. Xue'er, gather your soul power and prepare yourself." 

Sacrifice! 

Qian Renxue, Snake Spear Douluo, and Porcupinefish Douluo were all visibly stunned. 

"Young Master, this is an eighty-thousand-year soul ring! Can she even withstand it?" Snake Spear Douluo couldn't help but voice his concern. Typically, a Soul Saint's seventh soul ring would be around forty to fifty thousand years at most—this one was nearly double that. 

"Even if she can't, she must," Qian Renhan stated flatly. "What was the point of consuming immortal herbs? What use was absorbing the Angelic Soul Bone? And what was the purpose of refining the Ten-Headed Blazing Sun Serpent's core? If she can't endure an eighty-thousand-year sacrifice, how can she evolve her martial soul and grow stronger?" 

"Brother, I'm ready," Qian Renxue declared, her voice steady. 

Behind her, the Six-Winged Seraph martial soul erupted with divine brilliance. She unleashed her Martial Soul Avatar, merging with her martial soul to elevate her physique to its peak state. 

A hint of satisfaction flickered in Qian Renhan's eyes as he turned back to the Light Goddess Butterfly. 

"Buzz—" 

For the sake of its clan, the Light Goddess Butterfly did not hesitate. A surge of wild, uncontrollable energy erupted, forming a towering pillar of pitch-black light. Within it, a translucent, ethereal projection of the Light Goddess Butterfly spiraled upward, ascending into the heavens.

"Oh, a soul sacrifice." 

Qian Renhan was momentarily taken aback as he gazed at the translucent, ethereal form of the Light Goddess Butterfly. It seemed the butterfly was concerned that the immense sacrificial energy might overwhelm Qian Renxue's body. Rather than risk her being torn apart, it had chosen the safest possible method of sacrifice. A commendable clan leader indeed. 

"Turn your heads away. Stay here and protect Xue'er—I have something to take care of." 

Qian Renhan's voice was indifferent. The energy released from the sacrifice would be overwhelming, and Qian Renxue's clothing might not hold up under its force. 

Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo shuddered and immediately turned their backs. Not only did they dare not sneak a glance, but they didn't even dare to extend their spiritual senses. If the Young Lord, the Grand Worshiper, or the six High Worshipers discovered any transgression, even death would be a luxury they wouldn't afford. 

Behind Qian Renhan, his wings flapped, scattering jet-black angelic feathers. The feathers merged to form a dark barrier, shrouding Qian Renxue from view. Simultaneously, his pitch-black soul power sealed off any possibility of Snake Spear and Porcupinefish Douluo using their spiritual senses to probe. 

Precaution, distrust—such was his nature. Qian Renhan would never place absolute trust in anyone, not even his own family, Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue. The only person he could rely on completely was himself. 

With that, he left, retracing his steps to where he had previously unleashed his soul power in search of light-attributed soul beasts. Using the Titan Giant Ape's movements as a guide, he began tracking Tang San's whereabouts. 

Though a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone were invaluable, to Qian Renhan, they paled in comparison to something far more crucial—an external soul bone that could grow alongside him, one that could eventually rival divine weapons or even surpass them to become a super divine artifact.

Meanwhile, at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape returned, carrying Xiao Wu in its massive hands. 

"Xiao Wu!" 

A warm and excited voice rang out. Standing near the lake's edge was a woman with her hair styled into a neat bun. She wore a simple yet elegant outfit that exuded both grace and strength. Tall and voluptuous, she was breathtakingly beautiful, her jade-like skin glowing under the sunlight. 

She was A Rou, Xiao Wu's mother—the Soft Bone Rabbit Queen, a hundred-thousand-year soul beast who had taken human form. 

"Mother! I missed you so much!" 

Xiao Wu cried out in joy, throwing herself into A Rou's embrace. 

"You missed me? Hmph, I think you've been too busy playing outside!" A Rou playfully flicked Xiao Wu's forehead. "A dignified soul beast who has taken human form, yet you've only cultivated to rank 30?" 

"Xiao Wu-jie!" 

Another excited voice called out as a huge splash erupted from the Lake of Life. A massive bull head emerged from the water, its lower body revealing an enormous python stretching over a hundred meters long. 

The Azure Bull Python. 

Together with the Titan Giant Ape, A Rou, and Xiao Wu, they were the four great hundred-thousand-year soul beasts that ruled the Lake of Life.
