Even if Juhua was African, after all these years, it should have managed to save up a few soul bones.

It was just that these soul bones were of little use to Juhua. Sometimes, even when a soul bone dropped, it could not be bothered to pick it up. Otherwise, Juhua would probably have had even more soul bones in its possession.

Even so, Juhua had collected four or five soul bones, ranging from those of Hundred-Year Soul Beasts to Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beasts. It did not have any soul bones from Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, though. After all, there were no Soul Beasts of that level in the Sunset Great Forest, and even if there were, Juhua would not have been able to defeat them.

This Fifty Thousand Year Shadow Demon Beast Skull was one of Juhua's collectibles, as well as the oldest and most valuable of all its soul bones.

It contained an incredibly wondrous soul skill called Shadow Demon Clone.

Simply put, it was a cloning skill. Once activated, it could create clones, and there was no limit to their number.

However, each newly created clone could possess only half the strength of the previous clone.

In other words, Li Yuan's first clone could possess half the strength of his main body, while the second could possess only a quarter of it. The same pattern continued from there.

In theory, there was no limit to the number of clones. However, the more clones there were, the weaker the newly created ones became. Eventually, they would be nothing more than empty shells, with actual combat strength inferior even to that of an ordinary person.

Even so, Shadow Demon Clone was an exceptionally powerful soul skill. More importantly, while using it, the clones and main body could switch places with one another.

If used properly, this move could block certain otherwise fatal attacks.

For example, just now, when the Tyrannosaurus Beast went berserk, Li Yuan had decisively swapped his main body with a clone. Afterward, he even controlled the clone to self-destruct, leaving the Tyrannosaurus Beast utterly bewildered.

Taking advantage of the Tyrannosaurus Beast's confusion, Li Yuan did not waste any time. Without another word, he created another clone and sent it charging toward the Tyrannosaurus Beast.

At the same time, the clone activated its First Soul Skill, Taunt.

"Brat, come get beaten!"

The clone wore an expression of supreme arrogance as it looked disdainfully at the Tyrannosaurus Beast. It looked so punchable that words could hardly describe it.

At the sight, the already berserk Tyrannosaurus Beast exploded with rage. Without hesitation, it abandoned Li Yuan's main body and charged at Li Yuan's clone.

"Lightning Release, Rasengan!" Li Yuan's clone showed no fear whatsoever. Circulating its Soul Power, it condensed a sphere formed of violent lightning and slammed it directly into the Tyrannosaurus Beast's face.

After taking Li Yuan's clone's Rasengan, the Tyrannosaurus Beast was not seriously injured. Instead, it became even more frenzied, ignoring the lightning damage as it tried to perish together with Li Yuan's clone.

"Brat, come get beaten!"

Yet at that moment, another exceedingly arrogant voice rang out behind the Tyrannosaurus Beast.

Upon hearing that voice, the Tyrannosaurus Beast's already bloodshot eyes turned even redder. It immediately abandoned Li Yuan's first clone, turned around, and charged at Li Yuan's second clone.

As for Li Yuan's main body, it stood leisurely to one side, recovering Soul Power while controlling his clones to toy with the Tyrannosaurus Beast like a monkey.

Although Li Yuan's First Soul Skill was extremely bizarre and could easily get him killed if used poorly, Li Yuan believed that there were no useless soul skills in this world, only useless Soul Masters.

After fusing with the Fifty Thousand Year Shadow Demon Beast Skull, Li Yuan had finally figured out how to make use of his First Soul Skill.

That was right. His First Soul Skill was dangerous, and if used badly, it could very well get him killed.

Then why not let his clones use it instead? The clones were not real people, after all. Even if they died, Li Yuan would suffer no loss beyond a small amount of Soul Power.

Yet when Shadow Demon Clone and Taunt were used together, they could produce an incredibly miraculous effect. This was especially true against Soul Beasts that did not seem particularly intelligent.

The Tyrannosaurus Beast was a perfect example. Li Yuan's clones had it running in circles. Although each clone could inflict only limited damage, the accumulated effect was still quite impressive.

And that was indeed the case. More than an hour later, Li Yuan, whose Soul Power had mostly recovered, leisurely walked up to the Tyrannosaurus Beast lying on the ground.

At this point, the Tyrannosaurus Beast had been beaten so badly that it could not even stand. The armor covering its body had been shattered beyond recognition by Li Yuan's clones, and savage wounds covered it from head to toe. It was clearly hanging on by only a final breath.

Even so, the Tyrannosaurus Beast continued to glare fixedly at Li Yuan as he approached.

With the Tyrannosaurus Beast's rather limited brain capacity, it could not make sense of what had just happened.

But that did not stop it from hating and resenting Li Yuan. After all, the little insects that had toyed with it moments ago carried exactly the same aura as Li Yuan.

Under such circumstances, there was no way the Tyrannosaurus Beast could look kindly upon Li Yuan.

Of course, Li Yuan did not care. He and the Tyrannosaurus Beast had been enemies from the start. Now that it was crippled, he naturally would not show mercy.

He pulled out a keyboard from behind his back and cleanly smashed it into the Tyrannosaurus Beast's head.

With a dull thud, the Tyrannosaurus Beast's enormous head was flattened by Li Yuan's blow, blood and brains spilling everywhere.

At the same time, a faint black soul ring slowly rose from the Tyrannosaurus Beast's corpse.

Seeing this, Li Yuan could not help letting out a long sigh. It was finally over.

He had finally killed this Ten Thousand Year Tyrannosaurus Beast.

It had to be said that this Tyrannosaurus Beast was truly no weakling. It could even rival some Soul Beasts around Thirty Thousand Years old.

If the Tyrannosaurus Beast had not lost its reason after going berserk, even Li Yuan might not have been able to defeat it.

Fortunately, there were no ifs. No matter what methods he had used, the final victor was still Li Yuan.

Of course, for Li Yuan, hunting the Tyrannosaurus Beast was only the beginning. He had not killed it because he had nothing better to do. He wanted the Tyrannosaurus Beast's body—no, he wanted its soul ring.

I wonder what kind of soul skill I'll obtain this time. Please, please don't let it be as bizarre as my First Soul Skill.

As he sat down cross-legged and prepared to absorb the soul ring, Li Yuan could not help muttering to himself. Although he had already figured out a way to use his First Soul Skill,

how should he put it? His First Soul Skill was still far too bizarre. Whenever he used it, it always made him feel strangely embarrassed.
