Second Soul Skill - One Qi Becomes Three Purities, Pulverizing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger

"Why are you back again?"

Seeing Nangong Lingyun suddenly appear, Da Ming tilted his head, a look of confusion flashing in his human-like eyes.

After chatting with Xiao Wu last night, he already knew that the Beast Taming Space not only allows contracting and summoning of various beast pets but also possesses impressive spatial capabilities, allowing free movement.

Combined with power that could rival even Er Ming, even if he couldn't beat the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he shouldn't be that afraid.

But Nangong Lingyun didn't even glance at the Sky Blue Bull Python, instead locking his fiery gaze on a certain area of space. A brilliant smile curled his lips as he said:

"Brother Tiger, are you coming out on your own, or do I need to find a way to invite you out?"

"What?"

At those words, before the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could react, Da Ming jumped up and retreated hundreds of meters in an instant, a look of alarm on his face.

One-on-one, he wasn't particularly afraid of the tiger.

As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, even if he couldn't win, he was confident in escaping.

But a sneak attack...

If caught off guard, he could be seriously injured in an instant. The terrifying nature of an extremely evil attribute wasn't something to mess around with.

Moments later, when the black giant tiger slowly emerged—conveniently from where he had just stood—Da Ming grew furious and cursed:

"You rotten old tiger! Young Yun's martial soul is so unique, and I came in good faith to deliver a golden opportunity to you—

Yet you're this ungrateful, lacking virtue, trying to deceive and ambush an old soul beast like me with a hundred thousand years under my belt.

Is that okay? No, it's not. I advise you to reflect on your actions and not make the same mistake again.

As fellow soul beasts, we should cherish harmony, uphold martial virtue, and avoid internal strife."

Da Ming cursed until his mouth was dry.

But the other two didn't seem interested in responding.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's face was full of rage.

If not for this meddling human, it might have succeeded in devouring the Sky Blue Bull Python.

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast—one of the stronger ones too, with Azure Dragon bloodline, innate domain, and an extreme attribute—would have skyrocketed its cultivation and power.

And chances to catch the Forest Emperor alone were rare. Who knows how many years it would take to get another shot like this?

Nangong Lingyun, however, was beaming with glee like a mother-in-law eyeing her ideal son-in-law.

As expected of one of the very few genuine god-tier soul beasts on the entire Douluo Planet.

Eight meters long, wings on its back, exuding a terrifyingly sharp aura.

The most eye-catching feature was its tail, made of countless bone joints like a massive spiked club, ending in a large hooked barb glowing with a cold, eerie light.

Its abilities were extraordinary—space, time, strength, evil, wind, and lightning—six top-tier and rare attributes.

If properly cultivated and all attributes refined to the extreme, it might even ascend to God King.

In the original story, the bead it left behind after death even shattered space-time and crossed into another dimension, becoming the protagonist's cheat item in a different book.

With it, Zhou Weiqing turned from trash to legend, ascended as the God of Destruction (also known as the God of Strength), and eventually, through sheer luck, became a God King.

Nangong Lingyun squinted and asked with a grin:

"Brother Tiger, what do you think about what the Sky Blue Bull Python mentioned this morning?"

"Roar!"

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger slashed its right forepaw furiously, showing through action that it wasn't some pushover soul beast.

A flash of golden light—Nangong Lingyun appeared far away, his ten-meter-tall golden form shimmering with six spinning black soul rings.

His tone turned regretful:

"Looks like we'll have to do this the hard way. In that case, don't blame me for being rough on a flower."

Yes, this was a tigress.

As he spoke, his second soul ring suddenly burst with light.

Three golden figures, nearly identical to the original, stepped out from Nangong Lingyun's body.

One Qi Becomes Three Purities, famed as the strongest clone technique,

Capable of creating three clones identical in power, appearance, and aura to the original—each capable of using all his abilities.

In Fengshen Yanyi (Investiture of the Gods), it was this move that allowed Laozi to instantly break the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, which supposedly required four sages to resolve.

However, Nangong Lingyun's version was a bit different.

In the world of Douluo, the power system is too low; concepts like laws, origins, and heaven-and-earth forces are out of reach, so he couldn't manifest the true Three Purities.

Instead, he refined the clone ability to its extreme.

Thus, his "three" didn't mean literally three bodies, but rather "many times" as in repetition.

As long as his soul power was sufficient, the number of clones had nearly no limit, and the types were endlessly varied—

Physical clones, energy clones, phantom clones, single-attribute clones—anything you can think of.

(Note: The protagonist will only use this skill in combat—no need to worry about it being overpowered in daily life.)

"Brother Tiger, I'm coming for you!"

The four Nangong Lingyuns grinned in unison.

Two of them clenched their fists; the other two wielded the Blue Silver Overlord Spear and the Wisteria Thunder Prison Sword—instantly surrounding the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Beast Taming Martial Soul and mystical divine weapon traits, combined with the Longevity Art's seven engraved patterns, each with wildly different powers—

—were the main reasons he chose this skill and decisively attached it to his second soul ring.

In the future, when each clone masters a different attribute and wields a divine weapon, imagine the epic group beatdown.

The first to strike was the real Nangong Lingyun.

The golden giant swung two fists the size of pumpkins, pummeling the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's face and skull like a torrential rainstorm.

Before the black tiger could react, a thick bolt of golden lightning shot straight at its backside—

Destruction Divine Thunder, said to destroy anything, and the taste? Definitely shocking.

The two on either side weren't idle either. One leapt onto its back, pressing down its wings,

The other swept its long spear toward the hind leg with terrifying force—clearly aiming to topple the beast.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was completely stunned.

Against four attackers, its paws were no match for so many fists. Caught in a flurry of strikes, it couldn't even figure out who to counter first.

What alarmed it the most,

Was that its spatial abilities had suddenly failed—a unique domain surrounded it, blocking all space-related powers.

The four Nangong Lingyuns continued their taunts:

"Brother Tiger, I came all this way to find you with such sincerity—why do you have to be so cruel?"

"Big Black Tiger, you want to fight Nangong Lingyun? You really think you have what it takes? I gave you a chance, but you blew it!"

"Confucius said, 'Don't speak of monsters, force, or gods,' which meant he beat you with brute force until your soul shattered!"

"What bad intentions could I, Nangong Lingyun, possibly have? I just wanted to invite you to join a warm and loving family."

…

In the distance, the Sky Blue Bull Python watched this brutal scene in utter horror,

Muttering in its heart:

"Humans are terrifying."

"I… is it still too late to agree now?"

"I only asked him two questions this morning… he's not secretly mad about that, is he?"
