Chapter 476: No Worries about Excessive Debt

After the battle, Li An carried Shuangxue back to Suite 0822 in Cross City.This battle had a minor impact on the world.But many powerful individuals, including Liu Dahu, were completely bewildered.Why had the fight started?And to the point where two Heavenly Cripples' abilities were simultaneously manifested?What for?Just over a relic?Is it really that serious?Everyone's first reaction was that the relic might actually hold a world-shattering opportunity!They didn't fight while they were outside.Ghost Lord Li An and his group wandered into the relic and then fought upon their return.The only thing they could think of was that there might actually be something within the relic.Never could they have imagined the answer would be so ridiculous.The entire operation of the Heavenly Cripples' team was commanded by the Light Ruler.The decision to encircle and kill the human race and Li An was also made by the Light Ruler. The Herrists didn't even consider Li An a human being, believing they could easily defeat him.As for why they attacked Li An, they didn't hide their reasons.Li An's choice of the Heartwood Forest struck the Herrists as suspicious, suggesting that the Heartwood Forest might be more than just a place.Perhaps Li An knew something about the ruins, so he wanted to force him to speak.That's the thing."Isn't that stupid?" Liu Dahu laughed in anger.This battle completely exposed the Herrists' intelligence.For one thing.You, the Herrists, weren't even sure if Li An had any weapons in hand, nor did you understand his true abilities.You, the Herrists, just went for it.How foolish.However, the Ghost Lord quickly issued a statement."Li An's strength exceeded our expectations. This is the only reason for our defeat."This statement was incredible.It wasn't that the Herrists were stupid; it was that Li An was too powerful.This move by the Ghost Lord directly propelled Li An into the spotlight. Don't you want to be an outsider?I'm going to drag you into this.Our entire team of Heavenly Damage can't defeat you alone.You'll definitely become a target of public criticism."It doesn't matter. I'm used to it."Faced with the Ghost Lord's flattery, Li An remained unmoved.From the day he was born, he'd been called the son of destiny, constantly slaying calamities.He's got plenty of experience.Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so timid on this trip, creating clones, carrying explosives, and buying heavy warships.What hasn't he seen?Just a little water.What concerned Li An was the fact that Ghost Lord could still speak.It seemed he wasn't dead.How did he break the Heavenly Damage Technique?Never mind.Li An didn't want to think about it right now.The scene of the Ice Emperor and the Ten Thousand Ghost Lord's confrontation still resonated in his mind.What exactly is the Heavenly Damage Technique? Why is it so powerful?When Frost Snow unleashed her Heavenly Damage technique, it felt like a seal had been broken, unleashing the power within her that originated from the heavens, ultimately transforming her into the Ice Emperor.Every Heavenly Damage practitioner harbors a power that originates from the heavens.They are like the heavens' royal guards.The heavens bestow their power upon certain beings.Those beings who transcend the Heavenly Damage can harness the power of the heavens and become the source of a certain power.After unlocking the Heavenly Damage, Frost Snow became the source of the ice element.No ice elementalist in the heavens could stand upright before her; they could only kneel.But she couldn't sustain that state for long.The reason had been discovered: her soul wasn't strong enough, or rather, her Dao Fruit wasn't high enough.Some time ago, Frost Snow's Dao Fruit also reached the Second Heaven in the Immortal Realm.The Second Heaven Ice Dao Fruit.She had always been troubled: which Dao Soul should she choose?The Immortal Path, the Asura Path, or the Tyrant Path?She had discussed this with Li An. Indeed, those common Dao Souls seemed insufficient for Frost Snow.But after this trip to the ruins, Li An had a clue.The second ruin contained a guidebook for Dao Souls specific to the wood element.The contents of the first ruin were still unknown; Jingtian hadn't revealed them.But there were definitely more than just these two ruins. There might even be Dao Souls specific to the ice element in the future. Perhaps that was the path for Frost Snow.Li An shared his thoughts with Liu Dahu.Liu Dahu's face changed slightly upon hearing this."Every ruin contains a guidebook for a special Dao Soul?""Who could have researched so many Dao Souls?"Li An remembered Shen Ji's face.The Eleventh Heaven—that was truly a supremely powerful being, and there were six more, forming the Heaven-Defying Ones.It shouldn't be surprising that they could accomplish such feats.But Li An wouldn't reveal these things to anyone. He shook his head and said, "No matter who developed it, if there's an ice element later, we must fight for it and give Frost Snow a try.""What I'm thinking now is, they say there's no superiority or inferiority among the Eight Great Dao Souls.""What about this special Dao Soul? Is it inherently weaker?"Liu Dahu said calmly, "There's no superiority or inferiority among the Great Daos of the Heavens; it all depends on how you cultivate.""The same is true for Dao Souls.""There's only the one that suits you best, not the most..."Liu Dahu paused.He was about to say there's no strongest.But then he thought of Li An's supposed Heavenly Dao Soul."The most what?" Li An raised an eyebrow."Nothing." Liu Dahu avoided the subject and continued, "As a rule, Dao Souls are not superior or inferior.""But don't try this kind of Dao Soul lightly.""It's difficult to condense a Dao Soul, and even more difficult to modify one."Suddenly...The 30 people in Li An's Star Tower exploded. "Holy crap! Lin Ruyu has realized the Dao Soul of Ruin No. 2!"Lin Ruyu, a human elemental genius with the innate ability of Rootless Wood, is in tune with the Dao Soul of Ruin No. 2.She was also on the battlefield at the time, brought into the ruins by Zhao Shaolong. To avoid the explosion, they ventured deeper.Unexpectedly, as they walked, they began to sense something, and eventually they went deeper and deeper.Everyone came out to surround and attack the Heavenly Cripple, but she didn't show up.She had been inside the ruins, standing on the altar.After the battle, Lin Ruyu's friends couldn't find her and began to worry, wondering if something had happened to her.Finally, they turned back to the ruins and found her realizing the Dao on the altar!"I'll be there soon," Li An replied, then lowered his head and gently stroked Shuangxue's forehead.The temperature and everything else are normal.She should be fine after a little more sleep. As he walked out of the bedroom, Yuri fluttered his wings excitedly, "Li Shen, Li Shen, where are you going?"Ever since Li An took him to siege the Heavenly Damaged, Yuri's way of addressing Li An had changed.He used to call him by his given name, but now he calls him "Respected Li Shen."Because it was truly incredible.One man, toying with a whole group of Heavenly Damaged at his fingertips.How could one man do that?Li An had done it!After returning, Yuri boasted to his bird friends until his mouth dried. The admiring gazes from his bird friends filled Yuri's heart. He decided to cling to Li An's thighs and join him on his adventures in this world.
