The Death of Lord Celestial Phenomenon Hu Yan Zhen—Was the Soul Master System Nothing but Empty Show? (Please Recommend, Please Urge Updates!)

In the dense forest.

After descending into Doupo World.

Hu Yan Zhen, in his Diamond Mammoth Martial Soul Possession state, strode through the forest with a smug, wild laugh on his face, scanning everywhere for prey or Spiritual Medicine.

However, after traveling for quite some time, Hu Yan Zhen had yet to encounter any prey or Spiritual Medicine.

"What's going on?"

Hu Yan Zhen could not make sense of it at all, his brows tightly furrowed.

Something was wrong!

The previous batch of chosen ones had all quickly encountered this world's prey and Spiritual Medicine. How could this old man have searched for so long without finding anything?!

Just then, a burst of clamor and fighting sounds came from nearby.

"This is..."

Following the direction of the sounds, Hu Yan Zhen hurried over in great strides.

At this moment, on Douluo Continent.

When they saw Hu Yan Zhen's livestream on the Heavenly Screen.

Many people became extremely excited.

"This commotion... Could Lord Celestial Phenomenon be about to encounter this world's humans?"

"I wonder whether this world's humans are stronger or weaker than the Soul Masters of our Douluo Continent."

"But this is the most remote and weakest region of this world. Lord Celestial Phenomenon is an eighty-ninth-rank defense-type Soul Douluo. There definitely can't be any powerhouse here capable of fighting Lord Celestial Phenomenon!"

In Hu Yan Zhen's livestream.

Hu Yan Zhen strode swiftly through vast stretches of woodland.

Soon, Hu Yan Zhen saw them.

In a clearing stood a group of people dressed in plain, tight-fitting clothing, their chests exposed and headbands tied around their heads, looking little different from commoners.

Among them, several men held broadswords, while several Crimson Vipers lay at their feet.

Another person stepped forward and plucked fiery red fruits, like Crimson Jade, from a plant growing amid the shrubs, then placed them into a cloth bag.

The bag was bulging, clearly containing quite a few items already.

At this sight, Hu Yan Zhen's eyes instantly reddened. He clenched his fists, breathed heavily, and roared.

"Lowly commoners, leave those treasures behind for this old man!"

As he spoke, Hu Yan Zhen erupted with the Soul Power fluctuations of a Soul Douluo. Two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings rose beneath his feet, circling around him.

His seventh Soul Ring suddenly lit up.

The next moment, Hu Yan Zhen's body rapidly expanded amid a dazzling platinum radiance.

He transformed into an incomparably massive Diamond Mammoth True Body, with thick limbs and a crystal armor like diamond covering his entire body. Radiating dominance, it raised its trunk and let out a long bellow.

Immediately afterward, the Diamond Mammoth True Body charged forward and rammed directly toward the Mercenary Squad.

"What is that?!"

Seeing Hu Yan Zhen suddenly turn into an extraordinary-looking giant elephant Magic Beast and charge toward them with unstoppable force, the Mercenary Squad's expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly turned and fled.

"Trying to run?"

"Eighth Soul Skill: Infinite Diamond!"

Hu Yan Zhen gave a savage grin and directly unleashed his eighth Soul Skill: Infinite Diamond!

As the Diamond Mammoth True Body raised its trunk and bellowed, surging Soul Power condensed a diamond shield around its body. It accelerated and charged at the fleeing Mercenary Squad.

In an instant, it sent the rearmost mercenary flying.

"Mu Jin!"

On Douluo Continent.

Seeing Hu Yan Zhen display such might, countless Soul Masters of Douluo Continent were greatly invigorated and thrilled.

"As expected of Lord Celestial Phenomenon! He's simply too powerful!"

"I told you! The Soul Masters of our Douluo Continent are definitely not weak. Besides, this is the most remote and weakest region of Doupo World. What happened before must have been an accident!"

"That's right! That's right!"

But before the people of Douluo Continent could celebrate for long.

The mercenary whom Hu Yan Zhen had sent flying suddenly let out an "Eh?" and sat up on the ground, rubbing his chest in disbelief.

"Why do I feel completely fine?"

"That giant elephant Magic Beast doesn't look ordinary. How did it fail to even break through my protective Dou Qi?"

At this moment, the other mercenaries also sensed that there was something strange about Hu Yan Zhen's Diamond Mammoth True Body.

Though the Diamond Mammoth True Body looked enormous and imposing, its charge had not caused any damage to the ground, leaving behind only a row of shallow footprints.

And when they recalled that Hu Yan Zhen had clearly been a human at first.

The mercenaries understood.

"Old bastard, you still dare use such cheap tricks in front of us? Who are you trying to scare?!"

The mercenary captain suddenly stopped, turned around with a savage grin, clenched his fist, and explosively rushed toward Hu Yan Zhen's Diamond Mammoth True Body before leaping into the air.

"Old bastard, go die!"

Yet in the face of the mercenary captain's counterattack, Hu Yan Zhen merely laughed disdainfully. He activated all his defensive Soul Skills, and the Diamond Mammoth War God grew even larger.

"You want to break this old man's defense? Wishful thinking!"

"This old man is Lord Celestial Phenomenon Hu Yan—"

However, before Hu Yan Zhen could utter the final word.

The mercenary captain's punch shattered the Diamond Energy Shield formed by Hu Yan Zhen's eighth Soul Skill, Infinite Diamond, and continued onward to strike Hu Yan Zhen.

In an instant, it broke apart the diamond armor covering the Diamond Mammoth True Body and sent the massive Diamond Mammoth True Body flying with a single punch.

While still in the air, Hu Yan Zhen, gravely injured, was forcibly knocked out of his Martial Soul Avatar state and reverted to his Soul Master body. His face turned deathly pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood, crashing heavily to the ground with severe injuries.

"No! That's impossible!"

"These people clearly don't look like powerhouses. How could they possibly break through this old man's defense?!"

"This old man is the continent's strongest defense-type Soul Douluo—Hu Yan Zhen!"

Hu Yan Zhen lay on the ground, blood spilling from his mouth. His fists were clenched, his eyes wide with fury, utterly unable to accept reality.

After shattering Hu Yan Zhen's Martial Soul Avatar with one punch, the mercenary captain merely sneered disdainfully and spat on the ground.

"Pah! What the hell was that?"

"I thought you were so strong, but you were completely all show and no substance. You nearly fooled us!"

"You dare steal from our Wolf Claw Squad? I'll kill you!"

With that, the mercenary captain walked toward Hu Yan Zhen, raised his right foot as Dou Qi surged over it, and stomped down, crushing Hu Yan Zhen's head.

[Hu Yan Zhen, deceased!]

[Cause of death: Failed to rob the Wolf Claw Squad's Spiritual Medicine and was killed in retaliation!]

"How... how could this be?!"

"This is Lord Celestial Phenomenon Hu Yan Zhen!"

Seeing Hu Yan Zhen die miserably at the hands of a mercenary captain who looked utterly ordinary, at most like a common bandit and nothing like a powerhouse, everyone stood with mouths agape and eyes widened in utter disbelief.

Especially when the mercenary captain sneered in disdain, declaring that Hu Yan Zhen's strength was nothing but empty show!

It was like a resounding slap across the faces of every Soul Master.

"Compared to the power system of this Doupo World, could the Soul Master system of our Douluo Continent truly be this weak?"

"An eighty-ninth-rank Soul Douluo was actually trampled beneath the feet of someone from this world who did not look like a powerhouse at all, then humiliated without restraint!"

"With such a gap, if we are chosen, can we truly survive for a year in this world?"

Within the Crown Prince Residence of Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Qian Ren Xue felt nothing but despair.
