Everyone followed Dugu Bo to the area where that Tyrant Dragon lived.

Thud, thud, thud—

Suddenly, their group felt the ground trembling, as though some enormous creature was approaching.

Thud, thud, thud—

Everyone quickly climbed into the trees and watched the distant trees collapse one after another.

Hiss—

A Black Flame Dragon Lizard was fleeing desperately. Its tail and hind legs had been bitten off, the wound forming an irregular arc.

It was obvious that some huge creature had bitten them off.

Hiss-roar—

A resounding roar rang out, and the trembling of the earth grew more pronounced. Then, a colossal creature clamped its jaws around the Black Flame Dragon Lizard, bit down several times, and swallowed it whole.

This enormous creature stood over ten meters tall, its massive body like a small mountain. Its entire body was covered in heavy earth-yellow Scale Armor, each piece irregularly shaped, while its enormous head alone made up nearly a quarter of its body.

"That's the Tyrant Dragon. Though it's only been around for over ten thousand years—roughly eighteen thousand years—its strength is exceptional. Back then, I saw it take on three ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts alone. It bit two of them to death, while the third escaped. That says enough about its strength. Xin, this Tyrant Dragon should suit you very well."

Dugu Bo's voice came from beside him. Dugu Xin nodded as well. This Tyrant Dragon truly matched him.

It really is a Tyrant Dragon. Tsk, there are Spirit Beasts like this too? Impressive. Let me see what it can do!

"I'll handle this Tyrant Dragon. Brother Xin, wait for an opportunity to make your move."

Chen Xilin leaped out, his body rapidly changing.

"Seventh Spirit Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"

Chen Xilin transformed into a Dark Holy Dragon over ten meters long, floating in the sky.

Roar—

Chen Xilin unleashed Dragon Roar at the Tyrant Dragon. Since it was a sub-dragon species, the draconic might of the Dark Holy Dragon should have an effect!

Hiss-roar—

Yet the Tyrant Dragon was not affected in the slightest. Instead, it roared furiously at the Dark Holy Dragon Chen Xilin had become, its eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Interesting!"

Chen Xilin sneered. He had not expected this Tyrant Dragon to ignore the Dark Holy Dragon's draconic might. It had some skill.

The Dark Holy Dragon Chen Xilin had become dove toward the Tyrant Dragon. Since the Tyrant Dragon's enormous jaws were exceptionally adept at tearing and biting, Chen Xilin relied on his tremendous speed to kite it.

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Myriad Dragon Devouring Abyss!"

"Sixth Spirit Skill, Apocalypse Dragon Claws!"

Chen Xilin's Martial Soul Avatar had been formed through the sacrifice of the Hell Demon Dragon King, whose bloodline and attributes perfectly matched his Martial Soul. As a result, the amplification granted by his Martial Soul Avatar was extraordinarily powerful.

First, all attributes were enhanced by three hundred percent. In the Martial Soul Avatar state, the power of all Spirit Skills increased by two hundred percent. Every Spirit Skill also gained Dark Erosion, with no limit on the number of uses.

It could be said that Chen Xilin in his Martial Soul Avatar state had unlimited firepower. Combined with how he had long used the Muscle Tendon Classic to temper his Soul Power, his Soul Power reserves were also astonishing. He did not need to worry about exhausting his Soul Power while using Spirit Skills.

Hiss-roar—

The Tyrant Dragon could not bite Chen Xilin, yet it was repeatedly struck by Chen Xilin's attacks. Chen Xilin's darkness continuously eroded its body, driving it into a rage!

Roar—

The Tyrant Dragon roared toward the sky. Countless stones rose from the ground and wrapped around its body, forming a rock armor with extremely strong defenses.

"An interesting ability. I'll stay in the sky and watch you drain all your Soul Power."

The Dark Holy Dragon Chen Xilin had become hovered in the air, watching the Tyrant Dragon below.

Seeing that it could not reach him, the Tyrant Dragon suddenly crouched down, exerted force through its legs, and leaped toward Chen Xilin. Then it opened its gaping, bloodthirsty maw.

"Damn, it can jump that high? That's ridiculous! I'm dodging!"

Chen Xilin immediately evaded the Tyrant Dragon's bite. He had not expected this Tyrant Dragon to be so formidable—it could even jump? Ridiculous.

Roar—

The Tyrant Dragon flew into a rage from humiliation. It opened its huge mouth, and an orb of energy began to gather within. It intended to blast this annoying fellow out of the sky!

"Now it has ranged attacks too? Fine, come on—Devouring Domain!"

Chen Xilin opened his dragon jaws and spat out a purple-black vortex.

An earth-yellow energy sphere shot out of the Tyrant Dragon's mouth, but the moment it touched the purple-black vortex, it was swallowed whole.

The Tyrant Dragon froze on the spot at the sight, its mouth hanging so wide open that it could have swallowed half its own body.

"Return it to you in your own coin! Go!"

Chen Xilin hurled the purple-black vortex at the Tyrant Dragon.

Boom—

The massive energy sphere exploded directly against the Tyrant Dragon's body, shattering the earthen armor it had created into pieces.

"Fourth Spirit Skill, Myriad Dragon Devouring Abyss!"

After exchanging blows with the Tyrant Dragon, Chen Xilin discovered that it possessed tremendous vitality, with a life aura no weaker than that of a fifty-thousand-year soul beast. He could afford to be a little more brutal.

Chen Xilin relentlessly bombarded the Tyrant Dragon until it became utterly listless, taking in more breath than it let out.

In the distance, "Xin, go on. Xiao Lin has finished it up," Dugu Bo said.

Everyone headed toward Chen Xilin. By the time they arrived, the Tyrant Dragon had been severed at the waist, yet it was still breathing. Its skull had been split open, its brain visible, and still it breathed.

"Brother Xin, attack its brain directly. Hurry, or it's going to die," Chen Xilin said as he dismissed his Martial Soul Avatar and returned to human form.

"Alright! Fifth Spirit Skill, Jade Phosphor Dragon Breath!"

Dugu Xin exhaled a bluish-green breath tinged with yellow. His Fifth Spirit Skill had originally been Jade Phosphorous Serpent Breath, but after his Martial Soul Evolution, it had become Jade Phosphor Dragon Breath.

Dugu Xin's breath dissolved the Tyrant Dragon's brain, and the Tyrant Dragon finally breathed its last.

A black spirit ring condensed above the Tyrant Dragon's body.

Dugu Xin sat down and began absorbing the spirit ring. This was an exceptional spirit ring. Having just absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd and gained the power of Earth Dragon Turn Over, coupled with this Tyrant Dragon's spirit ring, Dugu Xin had a promising future ahead of him!

Li Feiyan stood guard over Dugu Xin, while Feng Qingyu flew overhead, keeping watch over the surroundings.

Dugu Bo searched the Tyrant Dragon for soul bones, while Chen Xilin pondered whether the Tyrant Dragon tasted good. Tyrant Dragon meat was a rare delicacy. If he did not indulge himself a little, he would truly be letting himself down.

Chen Xilin directly tore off the Tyrant Dragon's right leg. The moment he touched it, he sensed a fluctuation of Soul Power.

Chen Xilin stripped away all the flesh and skin from the right leg, revealing a crystalline bone within the Tyrant Dragon's leg.

"A soul bone!" Dugu Bo moved to Chen Xilin's side as well, his face full of astonishment.

This was the second time Dugu Bo had encountered a soul bone. No one knew about his first soul bone but himself: it was a Head Spirit Bone obtained from Medusa Queen, his Eighth Spirit Ring.

This was Dugu Bo's secret. He had not even told his own son. Soul bones were priceless treasures, and before Dugu Bo became a Titled Douluo feared by all, the fewer people who knew he possessed one, the better.

"Uncle Bo, give it to Xin Ge. The spirit ring and soul bone born from the same soul beast are the most compatible. If Xin Ge absorbs this soul bone, perhaps both his spirit skill and soul bone skill will improve tremendously."

Chen Xilin tossed the crystalline Right Leg Bone to Dugu Bo. He was not particularly tempted by this soul bone. What he wanted was to eventually equip himself with a full set of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones.

Since Tang San of the future could do it, then so could he. At worst, he would just have to kill a few more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
