At the same time, the Soul Ring energy of the three Thousand-Jinn Ant Emperors finally completely coalesced.
The energy fluctuations they emitted at this moment were far stronger than the previous two times.
However, they no longer had the momentum they had before, just hesitating there, not daring to move forward.
But Zhu Zhuqing was already too lazy to wait.
If the energy fluctuations within her body could be likened to a clenched fist before, then they had now transformed into a steel blade.
"Chh—"
The sound of tearing, which could not be heard outside, echoed within Zhu Zhuqing's body, and the mass of energy was quickly broken down without any resistance.
The scattered energy was swiftly devoured and assimilated by the Hell White Tiger, without any remaining ability to resist.
Subsequently, the Nirvana Sutra within her body began to operate spontaneously, continuously condensing Soul Power of a higher level.
The energy contained within the three Soul Rings also began to massively nourish her body, transforming into the perfect resources for Zhu Zhuqing's current advancement.
With the further sublimation of her Martial Soul bloodline, the Soul Power Zhu Zhuqing had re-condensed began to comprehensively transform her body.
Her meridians, bones, internal organs, and skin were all rapidly repaired.
Broken meridians quickly regrew, and the internal organs that had been displaced by the previous energy impact returned to their original positions. She was reborn.
Compared to before, Zhu Zhuqing had become several times stronger.
When she had completely absorbed the Soul Rings and everything ended, she had directly broken through the bottleneck of a Level 95 peak Title Douluo.
Zhu Zhuqing gently opened her eyes.
She was currently wearing a white men's robe, completely concealing her alluring figure.
At her feet, the scarlet seventh, eighth, and ninth Soul Rings were still flashing with dazzling light.
These last three Soul Rings, from the Thousand-Jinn Ant Emperor brothers, had also evolved into 100,000-year Soul Rings during the previous mutual fusion and assimilation.
Just as Su Cheng had said before, absorbing these three Soul Rings simultaneously would have a miraculous effect.
Of course, the process was also extremely dangerous.
But when Zhu Zhuqing's gaze passed over these 100,000-year Soul Rings, which others would desperately seek, she only paused slightly before quickly glancing over them. She didn't even bother to carefully experience the attached Soul Ring skills.
Instead, she looked around.
The surrounding scenery hadn't changed much compared to before.
A clear, tranquil lake, with a gentle, lingering mist.
Despite the fierce battle that had taken place earlier, the beauty of the surroundings remained untouched.
Except that one person was missing.
Zhu Zhuqing gently tightened the long robe she wore, her expression slightly bewildered.
Why had he chosen to help her at that crucial moment? Didn't he know what she had just done to him? And now, why was he leaving alone and silently?
He had clearly said he needed her to help him fight for his freedom…
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head, the gentle breeze caressing her face, her black hair swaying in the wind.
It was because of disappointment, wasn't it? She simply wasn't trustworthy…
She gently extended her right hand.
Between her slender, fair fingers and palm, there now resided a power that was unimaginable to the world.
Even throughout the entire Star Luo Empire, no one could withstand her punch.
"Heh, power..."
Indeed, based on her previous actions, what right did she have to expect the other person's trust?
There were clearly many other choices.
She could have directly stated the reasons, sought his opinion. Perhaps he wouldn't have cared about these things at all.
Or, why should the person who ultimately benefited be her?
Didn't Su Cheng deserve to possess the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul? He clearly understood better than her how to use the Hell White Tiger's power.
Perhaps it was truly as Su Cheng had said before.
People like them didn't have "friends," so there was no trust between them.
He didn't believe in himself.
Just as she hadn't believed in him before.
But just now, Su Cheng had unexpectedly woken up early, and yet he hadn't sought revenge as she'd imagined. Instead, he had helped her to completely master the Hell White Tiger spirit.
For so many years, that person had always been like this. Always standing behind her, helping her, supporting her.
"Freedom..."
Zhu Zhuqing sighed.
She finally understood that she and Su Cheng were not just "comrades," but also "Daoist Friends."
What they were ultimately pursuing, it turned out, was the same thing.
But now it was too late.
She possessed the world's most powerful strength, a peerless martial soul.
She had the weapon to completely control her own destiny.
Yet at this moment, she felt a sense of utter emptiness.
If I could start over...
Before Zhu Zhuqing finished absorbing her Soul Rings, Su Cheng had already left the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to the Duke's Mansion.
This was a last resort.
Staying there any longer would make a lot of things difficult to explain.
For example, why would he repay Zhu Zhuqing's kindness with kindness? He had never been a moral exemplar in the past, a fact she knew very well.
Then there was the matter of how he had suddenly regained his Soul Saint level of strength at that time, which was also difficult to explain.
It would be better to simply disappear and let her guess.
However, he had to return to the capital to keep abreast of the changing situation.
He wasn't entirely sure whether Zhu Zhuqing would ultimately choose to ascend the throne.
Logically speaking, given her personality, she wouldn't let this opportunity pass after coming this far.
But just now, in order to help her through the dangerous situation, he could only help her completely control the Hell White Tiger Martial Soul.
After realizing her true self, perhaps the position of emperor might have become irrelevant to her.
Of course, this possibility is actually quite small.
That is, without knowing that Xue Qinghe's true identity is actually Qian Renxue.
If viewed from the perspective of safeguarding the family, it's clear that ascending the throne and then confronting Heaven Dou is the normal course of action.
After all, if the Heaven Dou Empire truly unifies the continent, and they have the Martial Soul Hall behind them, before Zhu Zhuqing truly achieves Limit Douluo, they still cannot be considered absolutely safe.
Even she is like this, so the others in the Zhu family go without saying.
With Qian Renxue's vision, she would choose to spare the Star Luo imperial family's bloodline and bring them under her command. However, if it were the Heaven Dou imperial family, they would obviously not give up the opportunity to eliminate the roots.
And if they want to establish a foothold in the Star Luo imperial capital, Zhu Hongtao's identity is already the safest option.
"However, it's still better to avoid meeting Zhu Zhuqing during this time. If things really become impossible, then we can make plans later."
Now that Su Cheng's cultivation was gone, many things were far less convenient than before.
Fortunately, the External Spirit Bone's level after the evolution remained. There was no such thing as regression for this thing.
But he was confident that his disguise could fool ordinary Title Douluo, but he was not sure he could hide it from peak Douluo above level ninety-five, not to mention Zhu Zhuqing, whose strength surpassed her own level.
"Let's wait and see…"
