Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, Dark Wind Demon Snake

Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, Dark Wind Demon Snake

"Gather the qi in the dantian, push forward with both palms, let the intent follow the palms, and circulate true qi through them."

In an instant.

Feng Xiaotian felt a current of air course through his entire body, making him feel much lighter.

"Success!"

"The Nine Yang Divine Skill's Internal Cultivation Method can indeed be used in this world!"

Feng Xiaotian could barely contain his excitement.

With the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he was simply like a tiger with wings.

Before he knew it, it was already late at night.

Feng Xiaotian was getting sleepy.

"Though the Nine Yang Divine Skill is good, I must proceed step by step and not rush things, lest it disrupt my mind. There's still a year before the tournament. I need to take it steady."

That night, Feng Xiaotian slept soundly.

Over the next half month, Feng Xiaotian treated the Nine Yang Divine Skill as his highest priority.

He also successfully broke through to the Second Level, Marrow Cleansing.

After taking this step, he opened his Ren and Du meridians, cleansed his marrow, activated and strengthened his body's innate energy, and improved his immune functions.

During cultivation, he discovered that each successive stage was harder to break through than the last.

Still, that was only normal.

His Soul Power was currently limited, and he only had three Soul Rings.

The Nine Yang Divine Skill and Soul Power complemented each other.

It was time to set out and obtain his Fourth Soul Ring.

Feng Xiaotian went to find his grandfather.

"Grandpa, I'm ready. We can set out tomorrow."

"I haven't seen you around at all lately. What have you been working on?"

"Grandpa, I've been focusing on cultivation so I can better absorb a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring."

Feng Lieyang nodded in satisfaction.

"Mm, not bad! Only then can Grandpa rest easy."

"Grandpa, let's leave tomorrow for the Star Dou Central Forest. It'll be easier to encounter Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts there."

"Alright!"

The next day.

Feng Xiaotian brought six teammates and followed his grandfather, Feng Lieyang, to the Star Dou Central Forest.

It was the largest Soul Beast Forest on the Douluo Continent, spanning the borders of the Heavenly Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire, and it was home to all manner of Soul Beasts.

Feng Xiaotian's group gradually ventured deeper from the outskirts.

The closer they got to the heart of the forest, the more likely they were to encounter high-level Soul Beasts.

As they walked, a sudden noise came from ahead.

It was a rustling sound.

"It sounds like a reptilian Soul Beast. Everyone be careful. I'll go take a look!"

Feng Xiaotian spread his wings, flew into the air, and observed carefully.

It turned out to be a Red Wind Ant, one that appeared to be less than ten thousand years old.

"Don't worry, everyone. It's a Red Wind Ant that's only a few thousand years old. We can just take a detour around it from the left."

Feng Lieyang advised, "Xiaotian, a Red Wind Ant that's a few thousand years old isn't bad either. Why not take it?"

"Grandpa, we agreed on a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. Let's keep looking."

"You stubborn child. Fine, let's go a little farther in."

Everyone continued deeper into the forest.

The farther they went, the thicker the trees and undergrowth became, and the more dangerous it was.

A sinister, terrifying aura washed over them.

Suddenly, there was another commotion ahead.

A group of Soul Beasts darted out at high speed, fleeing wildly.

Feng Lieyang warned, "A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast has appeared. Everyone, be careful!"

Feng Lieyang flew into the air and got a clear look at the gigantic beast.

"Xiaotian, that's a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast—the Dark Wind Demon Snake."

Feng Xiaotian was both shocked and delighted.

"Everyone, stop it together! Don't let it escape!"

Feng Lieyang was somewhat worried.

"Xiaotian, the Dark Wind Demon Snake is an extremely cold, extremely yin creature. I'm afraid your body won't be able to withstand it!"

Hearing this, Feng Xiaotian became even more excited.

"Grandpa, that's exactly what I want. It'll be this one!"

Feng Xiaotian was currently cultivating the Third Level of Nine Yang Divine Skill, Supreme Yang Heat Qi.

Whenever he cultivated, he felt scorching heat roiling within his body, almost unbearable.

With such an extremely cold, extremely yin creature, yin and yang could offset each other, bringing the airflow within his body into balance.

Under normal circumstances, absorbing the Soul Ring of an extremely cold, extremely yin Soul Beast carried safety risks.

Feng Lieyang had no idea where his grandson's confidence came from.

Still, he chose to trust his grandson.

A Soul Beast that was exactly ten thousand years old was a rare opportunity. They could kill it first and talk later.

"Xiaotian, Grandpa will stop it for you!"

"Alright, thank you, Grandpa!"

"Everyone, attack together! Help the boss take down the Demon Snake!"

Feng Xiaotian also wanted to use this chance to train everyone's coordination.

Before coming to the Soul Beast Forest, he had already agreed with his grandfather that, unless absolutely necessary, he would not interfere and would let them handle things themselves.

Feng Lieyang blocked the Demon Snake's path.

Feng Xiaotian and the others surrounded it.

The Demon Snake raised itself high, glaring furiously at them. From time to time, it opened its blood-filled maw.

Feng Xiaotian wanted to test the Demon Snake's strength, so he launched the first attack.

"First Soul Skill, Blade Array!"

The other team members attacked as well.

"First Soul Skill, Wind Blade!"

"Second Soul Skill, Magic Cyclone!"

Facing Feng Xiaotian and the others' fierce assault, the Demon Snake did not panic in the slightest.

It curled up, burying its head beneath its body.

The wind-forged blade-swords struck the Demon Snake's body with repeated clangs, sending sparks flying.

Yet it suffered very little damage.

That was because the scales on its back were incomparably hard, each one like an iron shield and difficult to break.

In the end, their strength simply was not enough.

Among the seven of them, aside from Feng Xiaotian, who had just reached Level 40, the other six were all only in their thirties.

They could use at most three Soul Skills.

If Feng Lieyang had not been here to watch over them, the Dark Wind Demon Snake might have already launched a counterattack.

Feng Xiaotian had yet to use his Self-Created Soul Skill.

"Save your strength. That thing's weak points are its head and belly. Try attacking those areas! Attack its belly from below. Once it raises itself up, I'll strike its head."

"Understood!"

Feng Xiaotian remained in the air while the others returned to the ground.

"Third Soul Skill, Wind Sword Technique!"

A longsword rushed along the ground toward the Demon Snake's belly.

The Demon Snake suddenly reared up and dodged, letting out an angry roar.

Feng Xiaotian seized the opportunity and attacked its head.

Eighteen Consecutive Slashes of the Gale Demon Wolf, activate!

Everyone leaped forward again, coordinating with Feng Xiaotian to encircle and kill the Demon Snake.

This time, the Demon Snake was wounded and became enraged.

Ignoring everyone else's attacks, it shot toward one person, while scales flew continuously from its body like bladed spikes. It seemed determined to drag someone down with it before dying, fighting them to the bitter end.

"Azhi, watch out! Move!"

"Ah!"

Azhi was too slow to dodge. Faced with the evil Demon Snake, he was terrified.

"Fifth Spirit Skill, Heavy Wind Blade!"

Just as the Demon Snake opened its blood-filled maw and was about to bite Azhi, a gigantic sword fell from the sky and pierced its body, pinning it firmly to the ground.

The Demon Snake struggled desperately, but could not break free no matter what it did.

Everyone looked at Feng Lieyang, utterly stunned.

This was the strength of a Soul Douluo. The pressure was overwhelming.

"Xiaotian, hurry and kill it. Obtain the Soul Ring!"
