Yu Tianheng looked at the figure before him with a stifled expression, but he endured the pain and offered a kind warning, "Uncle, that's a King of the Earth that's at least 4,500 years old. That thing is bloodthirsty by nature—once provoked, it won't stop until one side is dead. Be careful!"
"It's fine, don't worry. You two, get farther away from me. Don't get caught in the crossfire."
A faint smile curled at Yu Xiaowei's lips as he waved Yu Tianheng away.
Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng's expression changed. As though recalling something terrifying, he hurriedly helped Dugu Yan limp away into the distance.
Only after they had run more than two hundred meters away did he finally sit down on the ground with relief.
"Brother Tianheng, who is that?"
Dugu Yan, her face pale, looked at the ferocious giant scorpion and asked with lingering fear.
"He's my uncle."
Yu Tianheng looked at Yu Xiaowei with a complicated gaze. He was a full ten years older than Yu Xiaowei, yet ever since they were young, whenever they fought, he was always the one who got beaten up. It was impossible to say he held no resentment. Still, he had never expected that, at this critical moment, he would be saved by this "enemy."
"Roar—howl!"
After seeing them run far away, Yu Xiaowei let out a strange roar.
His yellow First Soul Ring suddenly lit up, and a violent force surged wildly into his body. His figure grew taller once again, his sturdy muscles bulged high, his coral-like dorsal spines became even more menacing, and a thick tail lashed about wildly.
Yu Xiaowei's First Soul Skill, Source of Power. Effect: doubled strength.
At the same time, an invisible wave spread out from beneath his feet, enveloping the King of the Earth.
Within the range of that wave, every plant rapidly yellowed and withered. Cracks also appeared across the King of the Earth's carapace, and even its steps began to falter.
This was the Nuclear Radiation innate to the Godzilla Martial Soul. Aside from causing mutations, it could make those exposed to it suffer dizziness, vomiting, and hair loss. The weaker one was, the greater the effect; the stronger one was, the weaker the effect.
The King of the Earth before him was clearly unable to withstand the impact of the radiation.
Having grown a size larger, Yu Xiaowei grinned and charged toward the King of the Earth in great strides.
Not yet fully recovered, the King of the Earth sensed danger from ahead. In an instant, red light erupted across its entire body, and the air within a circular area centered on it immediately twisted.
The moment Yu Xiaowei stepped into the circle, it abruptly raised its two massive pincers and slammed them into the ground.
The ground beneath the King of the Earth instantly cracked apart. A powerful shockwave struck Yu Xiaowei in the chest, leaving him briefly dizzy.
Boom—!
A crimson pillar of fire, two meters thick, shot up from underground and completely engulfed Yu Xiaowei.
The King of the Earth's innate skill, Magma Fissure Strike.
To the King of the Earth's surprise, Yu Xiaowei was not blasted away. Instead, he stood in the pillar of fire with a look of pure enjoyment.
What a joke. Would a top-tier monster like Godzilla, which could bathe in magma at the earth's core, fear this little bit of fire?
Yu Xiaowei leaped high into the air and crashed heavily onto the King of the Earth's back. With his strength doubled, he smashed its entire body into the ground.
The King of the Earth let out a shriek, and its long scorpion tail whipped fiercely toward him.
To Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan's dumbfounded astonishment, Yu Xiaowei raised an arm and easily caught the scorpion tail. No matter how the King of the Earth struggled, it could not break free.
Looking at the giant scorpion beneath his feet, frantically waving its pincers, Yu Xiaowei opened his mouth with a savage grin. A ball of white light rapidly gathered within it.
"Heat Ray—!"
A scorching white, mist-like beam shot forth and slammed violently into the King of the Earth's head.
The temperature of the Heat Ray filled the burning King of the Earth's eyes with terror.
Under the destruction of the Nuclear Radiation, cracks had already appeared in its carapace. Under the continuous scorching of such extreme heat, those cracks quickly widened. Before long, the armor on its head began to collapse over a large area.
Five minutes later, its head was completely melted away in the method it knew best.
A purple Soul Ring condensed above the King of the Earth's corpse.
Yu Xiaowei released his Martial Soul Possession and sat on the ground, breathing heavily several times. As expected of a 4,500-year Soul Beast—this round of Heat Ray had nearly left him oxygen-deprived.
He took out a set of clothes from his Soul Tool and put them on, then looked with satisfaction at the deeply purple Soul Ring before him.
With a slight smile, he sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul Ring.
"Brother Tianheng, is your uncle absorbing a Soul Ring? How old is he? He's already a Soul Ancestor?"
Dugu Yan's eyes were wide with disbelief.
"If I remember correctly, he... he's... this should be his Third Soul Ring."
Only then realizing it after Dugu Yan's words, Yu Tianheng stammered.
"Third Soul Ring!!! But that's a 4,500-year Soul Beast! Isn't he afraid of exploding himself?"
"?!!!"
Yu Tianheng suddenly shot to his feet and sprinted toward Yu Xiaowei.
"Yu Xiaowei, are you crazy? Are you trying to get yourself killed?!!!"
However, the moment he stepped onto the battlefield, a powerful wave of dizziness and nausea washed over him.
He silently cursed. This was bad, and hurriedly backed away.
A large amount of Nuclear Radiation still lingered where Yu Xiaowei had fought the King of the Earth.
Yu Tianheng had no idea what that thing was, but ever since childhood, that strange ability had always broken through his defenses before Yu Xiaowei gave him a brutal beating.
Yu Xiaowei sat quietly, absorbing the Soul Ring as surging Soul Power rippled violently through the air.
His body temperature steadily rose, and the fine beads of sweat on his skin evaporated into the air, turning into a white mist.
The resentment from the King of the Earth continuously assaulted his mind. The Godzilla Martial Soul appeared automatically, and a single roar immediately silenced it.
Before the King of Monsters, the King of the Earth's resentment was like duckweed without roots, incapable of stirring up any trouble.
The energy contained within the 4,500-year Soul Ring was also constantly remaking his body. Though it hurt somewhat, everything remained within Yu Xiaowei's tolerance.
From within the white mist came intermittent crackling sounds of joints popping, making Yu Tianheng tremble with fear as he repeatedly prayed that nothing would go wrong.
As the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's greatest genius, Yu Xiaowei had always been Second Grandpa's precious darling. If his body exploded from being overfilled right in front of him, Second Grandpa might truly kill someone.
As the white mist gradually dispersed, Yu Xiaowei's even taller figure emerged from within.
Seeing that he was unharmed, Yu Tianheng let out a long breath and finally relaxed.
Having finished absorbing the Soul Ring, Yu Xiaowei let out a satisfied groan, stood up, and stretched. When he saw Yu Tianheng hiding far away, he raised a hand and called out.
"Second Nephew, why are you standing so far away? Come over."
Yu Tianheng forced out a smile and inconspicuously took two steps back.
After lightly sniffing the air, Yu Xiaowei suddenly understood. No wonder he did not dare come closer.
He directly summoned Godzilla to possess him, then took a deep breath and sucked all the lingering Nuclear Radiation around him back into his stomach.
Just then, his right hand turned numb and itchy. Its flesh continuously writhed and changed, and before long, it extended by a great deal, turning into a Godzilla claw.
"Huh, Second Nephew, do you know what's going on here?"
Seeing Yu Xiaowei's Dragon-Transformed right hand, Yu Tianheng's worldview shattered completely.
Yu Family Members did indeed begin undergoing Dragon Transformation at Rank 30 after absorbing Sub-Dragon Species Soul Rings, but he had never heard of anyone undergoing Dragon Transformation after absorbing other kinds of Soul Rings!
Could the King of the Earth actually be a Sub-Dragon Species?
