Golza Unleashed!

"Sister Nana!"

Qian Lingye recognized the newcomer, delight appearing on his face.

Hu Liena and her two companions walked slowly toward them.

Her beauty was radiant and grew on the eye. Her long black hair hung loosely, and the outer corners of her eyes tilted slightly upward, giving her the charm unique to a fox without being gaudy. A genius's cold pride lay hidden in her eyes.

Her skin was fair and clear, her lips naturally crimson, and her figure tall and slender.

She never deliberately tried to entice anyone, but whenever her gaze swept over someone, that subtle, elusive charm made it hard to look away.

Hu Liena bent down and patted Qian Lingye's head. "You've grown taller since I last saw you six months ago."

Bibi Dong smiled faintly, gratification showing in her eyes. "Nana, you've broken through to level fifty. Xie Yue, Yan, you've both broken through to level fifty-two. Very well done."

Hu Liena smiled shyly. "Thank you for the praise, Master! The three of us gained a lot over the past six months. Each of us advanced at least five levels. If nothing unexpected happens, I should be able to break through to level fifty-one in another ten days."

Xie Yue said, "This Soul Beast is immensely powerful. It has rampaged through the forest without restraint, slaughtering quite a few Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and even killing one that was forty thousand years old. No one dares approach it lightly. Over the past few days, the major powers have been arriving one after another: the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Even some reclusive sects have shown themselves. Clearly, none of them want to miss this opportunity."

Bibi Dong swept her gaze downward and let out a soft snort. "Nothing but a pack of rats with keen noses."

Over the years, among the continent's countless powers, there had never been a shortage of people opposed to Spirit Hall.

They moved through the cracks, lying low and hiding as they waited for a chance to act.

Bibi Dong knew their purpose all too well.

For that reason, even if Spirit Hall could not seize this opportunity, she would never allow anyone else to lay a finger on it.

Elsewhere, aboard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's soul boat.

Ning Fengzhi stood at the bow in white robes, facing the wind, his gaze deep.

"This beast's strength is extraordinary, far surpassing any Soul Beast I've ever seen. It is no ordinary opponent."

Behind Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin spoke slowly. "I once fought the Titan Giant Ape. Its cultivation was a hundred and ten thousand years. The Soul Beast before us has at least surpassed the Titan Giant Ape-one hundred and twenty thousand, one hundred and thirty thousand, or even one hundred and fifty thousand years."

Sword Douluo's name was renowned throughout the continent, so his assessment naturally drew the attention of many experts.

When everyone heard Sword Douluo rate Golza so highly, they all sucked in a cold breath.

One hundred and fifty thousand years.

How long had it been since a Soul Beast of that level had appeared on the continent?

Even among Titled Douluo experts, those who possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.

Thus, the greater the shock Golza inspired, the fiercer the greed that followed.

Whoever obtained Golza's Soul Ring would gain a heaven-defying opportunity that could be encountered but never sought.

The major sects and independent cultivators from all quarters were itching to act, hoping to grab a share of the spoils amid the chaos.

Qian Lingye watched the reactions of the various powers, a trace of mockery hidden in his eyes.

You want to be the hunters?

It remained to be seen who would be the hunters and who the prey.

Perhaps because they had drawn closer, Qian Lingye suddenly felt a powerful premonition as he looked at the enormous active volcano before him.

What he wanted was right there.

Qian Lingye hesitated no longer and immediately gave an order in his mind.

On the ground, Golza's massive body, sixty or seventy meters tall, slowly raised its head. His scarlet eyes locked onto the volcano, and he leaped straight into the searing magma.

In the dense forest on the outskirts.

Yu Xiaogang and Flender led the Shrek group in, slipping through without a sound.

The farther they went toward the core region, the stronger the tremors beneath their feet became. That fierce, unfamiliar pressure also weighed on them, making their chests feel tight.

Tang San abruptly stopped. The Blue Silver Grass in his palm trembled slightly as he spread his senses to their limit and swept over the residual energy in the air, instantly pinpointing the direction.

"Teacher, that Soul Beast seems to have headed toward the volcano. That should be where the opportunity lies."

Ma Hongjun's face turned deathly pale. "The powers of the entire continent have been stirred up. This thing is way too terrifying!"

Dai Mubai's face was taut. "The greater the risk, the greater the opportunity. We've come this far; there's no reason to turn back now."

The abacus in Yu Xiaogang's mind clattered away.

A commotion this big surely meant a precious treasure was hidden here.

Tang San happened to be looking for a Soul Ring. This was practically an opportunity delivered to their doorstep.

He immediately said in a grave voice, "Everyone, be careful. Don't get caught up in a fight, and don't rush ahead. Since we're here, let's go and find out what we're dealing with. Move in!"

High in the sky.

The various powers remained locked in a standoff, none daring to make the first move.

But there was always someone who couldn't hold back, someone who thought they could seize the initiative and ascend to heaven in a single step.

In the airspace south of Star Dou, a sect's soul boat burst out of the clouds with a tremendous commotion, shattering the deathly silence in the sky.

It was the Blazing Flame Sect.

A second-rate sect specializing in fire-attribute Soul Power, it had three Soul Douluo and dozens of elite Soul Masters under its command, making it somewhat renowned in the area.

The sect master stood at the bow, his face filled with greed.

"Everyone! A giant beast is lurking below, so there must be a precious treasure hidden there! My Blazing Flame Sect will be the first to break the deadlock and find out what this Ferocious Beast is capable of!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of Soul Masters formed a battle array. Fiery red Soul Power enveloped the entire soul boat, raising barrier after barrier as it swooped menacingly toward the crater.

The Blazing Flame Sect master intended to take a gamble.

Even against a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, their sect's battle array would let them put up a fight.

As long as he learned what it was capable of, the initiative would be his, and he could keep the benefits for himself.

Every gaze in the sky instantly converged on the group.

Experts from all sides watched coldly, waiting to see the result.

Qian Lingye saw the scene and sneered inwardly.

Who gave you the guts?

He didn't even need to give a special order.

Just as the soul boat was about to reach the crater-

Boom-!!

A sudden explosion thundered from underground, and magma came surging out. A scorching blast swept in every direction as a gigantic black shape slowly rose with the magma.

His body was covered in a cracked shell of rock, and his red eyes were cold, devoid of the slightest emotion.

A vicious light flashed in Golza's pupils. He would show no mercy to these ants who dared offend him.

Golza raised his head slightly, and searing lava energy gathered in his mouth in an instant. Blinding red light illuminated the entire mountain forest.

Boom!!

A terrifyingly thick blast of magma breath swept across dozens of meters of airspace. Its absurd heat engulfed the entire soul boat.

The sturdy soul boat, the multiple layers of Soul Power barriers, the defensive array dozens of Soul Masters had strained to set up... before this power, they were no different from tissue paper.

There were no screams, nor any earth-shaking explosion.

The entire Blazing Flame Sect contingent-people and boat, Soul Power and flesh—was burned to nothing by the intense heat in an instant.

Nothing remained, not even a trace of debris or blood.

Having dealt with the bothersome ants, Golza coldly withdrew his gaze. His massive body turned and sank back into the churning magma.

The entire sky fell deathly silent in an instant.

The experts, sect masters, and Titled Douluo aboard the soul boats... all stared wide-eyed.

Dumbfounded.

Utterly dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, a whole contingent of sect elites had vanished under a single breath, without even having time to fight back or let out a cry.

"Holy shit... one breath, and they're gone?"

"There were several Soul Douluo in there! All gone in one move-even a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast couldn't do that!"

"Lord Sword Douluo was right. This Soul Beast's level is far higher than we imagined. I'd say it's well over a hundred and fifty thousand years!"

The greed everyone had felt moments ago instantly went stone cold, leaving them filled with lingering fear.

This was no opportunity. It was plainly a deathtrap.

Qian Lingye was thrilled.

Strong! Fucking strong!

This is Golza's strength?

With one casual attack, he had killed several Soul Douluo in an instant and shattered the sect's grand formation outright.

With that kind of combat power, he could take on a Super Douluo without flinching!

Once Golza swallowed the earth-core magma crystal core and completed his evolution, his strength could rise another level.

How strong will he be then?

I can hardly imagine it!
