Deep in Star Dou, the Bull Python Slain (4k)
In the Core Zone Star Dou Great Forest, towering trees and ancient vines Entanglement, and the air is filled with a chilling, primitive, and wild atmosphere. The deeper one goes, the dimmer the light becomes, and countless dangers lurk in the silence.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, consisting of more than ten people, concealed their Soul Power under the powerful auras of the two Super Douluo, Yu Boxuan and Yu Qingtian, and moved silently through the forest like ghosts.
Yu Yuanchen felt a slight warmth on the Thunder God Seal between his brows, his Spiritual Power highly concentrated as he sensed everything around him. He knew all too well what terrifying beings lurked deep within this forest, and even with a clear objective, he needed to be extremely cautious lest he disturb those slumbering taboos.
Tang Chen followed closely behind, his face cold and stern, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, constantly alert to his surroundings, the Clear Sky Hammer he gripped tightly in his hand as if ready to unleash a devastating blow at any moment. He harbored a deep-seated memory and hatred for this forest.
Following the ancient records of the sect and Tang Chen's account of his experiences, the team stealthily traveled in a specific direction. Several days later, a unique region appeared before them.
The trees here are taller and greener, and the Life energy in the air is noticeably richer, even carrying a faint fragrance. After passing through a dense ancient forest, the view suddenly opens up before you.
There lay a lake, not large, but crystal clear, like an emerald embedded deep in the forest, lying there quietly. A light, milky-white mist swirled around the lake, exuding a refreshing and invigorating Life Aura. Along the lakeshore, lush grasses and exotic flowers and plants bloomed everywhere, completely out of place with the surrounding primitive and harsh environment, like a paradise on earth.
"This is... the Lake of Life... no, it should be a tributary?" Yu Yuanchen's gaze narrowed slightly as he sensed the Life energy contained in the lake water, and he understood. This was no ordinary lake; it must be connected to the legendary Lake of Life at the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.
His gaze instantly locked onto the center of the lake.
A colossal azure figure was half-submerged in the lake. It had the head of a bull and the body of a python, its entire body covered in palm-sized azure scales that shimmered with a metallic sheen. A single horn stood proudly atop its head, Entanglement Sisi of azure lightning. Its enormous bull eyes were closed, seemingly asleep, yet even from a distance, one could feel its terrifying pressure and overwhelming aura, like that of Primordial Era beast! The energy fluctuations it emitted had reached a level of ninety-seven!
Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast — the Sky Azure Bull Python! (Da Ming!)
However, Yu Yuanchen's gaze did not linger on Da Ming for long before turning to the lakeshore.
Beside the enormous head of the Sky Azure Bull Python, on the grassy bank, nestled two snow-white, pink-eyed, almost identical Soft Bone Rabbit! Their only difference was their size; one was slightly larger, its aura calm and profound, clearly reaching the 100,000-year level; the other was smaller, agile and lively, its aura also reaching the peak of the 99,000-year level, seemingly only a step away from the 100,000-year level!
"As expected..." A look of understanding flashed in Yu Yuanchen's eyes. He thought to himself, "Xiao Wu and her mother... the timeline really matches up." He had already deduced the existence of this mother and daughter rabbit from the coexistence of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, so he was not surprised to see them now.
As for the beauty of the other party after transforming? In his eyes, there was no difference between them and wild rabbits by the roadside; they were all just materials for Soul Ring and Spirit Bone. Moreover, to put it bluntly, given the way rabbits reproduce, when their Cultivation Level weak... just thinking about it is a bit disgusting. Furthermore, due to their weak race, even if they have a hundred thousand years of Cultivation Level, their combat power is very limited.
"Two Soft Bone Rabbit... 100,000 years old, 199,000 years old." Yu Boxuan scanned them with his Spiritual Power and immediately sensed them clearly. He transmitted his voice, "Their aura is pure, but their aggression is not strong. They excel at concealment and speed, so they are not a great threat. However, we need to guard against them interfering with the main battle."
"Proceed according to plan." Yu Yuanchen calmly transmitted his voice, "Eight Elder, set up the ' Thunder Domain Dragon Locking Array ' to trap the Sky Azure Bull Python and isolate it from interference! Grandfather, you lead the attack from the front! Brother Tang and I will hold it off from the flanks! Grandfather Qingtian, Grandpa Boyu, those two rabbits are yours. Keep a close eye on them and prevent them from disrupting the formation with their strange Soul Skill!"
"Alright!" everyone responded in unison, their eyes instantly sharpening.
"Do it!"
Yu Boxuan was the first to unleash his power! The terrifying aura of a level 97 Super Douluo was released without reservation! His body instantly expanded, transforming into a giant Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon True Body Entanglement lightning! A deafening Dragon Roar ripped through the silence of the forest, carrying unparalleled pressure as it pounced directly at the Sky Azure Bull Python in the lake!
"Roar!!!"
The Sky Azure Bull Python Da Ming was instantly awakened. Its huge bull eyes snapped open, and seeing the terrifying Thunder Dragon rushing towards it, it let out a roar of shock and rage! The lake water exploded, and its massive body stood upright. Azure lightning flashed on its single horn, and an extremely thick bolt of Destruction lightning mixed with a powerful energy breath slammed into Yu Boxuan!
Almost simultaneously, the eight Soul Douluo Elder moved like lightning, scattering in all directions, unleashing their Soul Power without reservation! "Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!" Eight slightly smaller but equally powerful Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon appeared, their Dragon Roar!
"Form ranks! Thunder Domain Locks the Dragon!"
The eight figures used profound footwork, their Soul Power intertwining to draw upon the Lightning Element of heaven and earth! A massive blue-purple lightning shield instantly formed, enveloping the entire lake area! Within the shield, countless lightning snakes swam, forming a powerful thunderous force field that not only greatly restricted the Sky Azure Bull Python's movement speed but also continuously bombarded its protective azure light, emitting crackling sounds of energy collisions! The power of the formation further subtly isolated the influx of external energy, weakening its regenerative abilities!
Yu Yuanchen and Tang Chen moved at the same time!
"Thunder Sacred Dragon True Body!" Yu Yuanchen transformed into Purple-Gold Thunder Dragon. Although his size was not as large Yu Boxuan's, his aura was more refined and sacred. With a flap of his dragon wings, he pounced on the Sky Azure Bull Python from the side. Destruction Lightning condensed on his dragon Dragon Claw, tearing straight at the python's seven-inch mark! At the same time, his Dragon Might, which contained a trace of the Thunder God Bloodline, pressed down on the Sky Azure Bull Python without reservation!
The Sky Azure Bull Python's body suddenly froze, its movements showing a barely perceptible slowness and stiffness, a hint of fear flashing in its eyes! Its bloodline was top-tier even in ancient times, but facing Yu Yuanchen's Dragon Might might, which had merged with the Thunder God Bloodline and possessed a higher essence, it was still slightly suppressed! Although not enough to decide the outcome, it was enough to influence the battle at a crucial moment!
"Clear Sky True Body! One of the Eighth Soul Skill, Titan Possession!" Tang Chen roared, his body swelling, muscles bulging, the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand transforming into a mountain-sized behemoth, wreathed in black light, the crimson Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring shining brightly! He stepped into the void, like Divine Descent, fiercely attacking from the other side, the Giant Hammer carrying the Artistic Conception to annihilate everything, smashing heavily towards the waist of the Sky Azure Bull Python! "Kill!"
The three powerful figures launched a simultaneous, fierce attack on the Sky Azure Bull Python from three directions!
"Open the domain!" Yu Boxuan, Yu Yuanchen, and Tang Chen shouted almost simultaneously!
"Thunder Dragon Domain!" Yu Boxuan's domain was vast and boundless, like Thunder Prison descending, suppressing everything!
"Heavenly Tribulation Sacred Dragon Domain!" Yu Yuanchen's domain carried a trace of the Destruction will of Heavenly Tribulation, eroding Purification!
"Clear Sky Domain!" Tang Chen's domain was filled with an invisible force field, and its gravity power was greatly increased due to the addition of one of the Titan Giant Ape's Right Arm Bone Soul Skill, Gravity Control!
The three domains combined, along with the confinement of the Thunder Domain Dragon Locking Array, instantly forced the Sky Azure Bull Python's "Sluggish Domain," which was originally enough to make even Super Douluo difficult to move, to shrink back to within three zhang of its body surface, greatly reducing its effectiveness!
"Roar!!!" The Sky Azure Bull Python was plunged into an unprecedented crisis and went completely mad! It roared to the sky with its bull head raised, its body flashing with azure light, resisting the suppression of the three major domains and formations. Its python body thrashed and slashed wildly, its single horn spewing out lightning and energy breath as if it were free, colliding fiercely with Yu Boxuan's Thunder Dragon True Form, while also having to defend against the cunning and ruthless flanking attacks from Yu Yuanchen and Tang Chen!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Terrifying explosions echoed continuously! The lake water evaporated, the earth Rupture, and the surrounding ancient trees were destroyed in swathes like straw! Energy shockwaves spread outwards like a tsunami, but were barely blocked by the Thunder Domain Dragon Locking Array.
The battle was fierce from the very beginning! Although the Sky Azure Bull Python was powerful, it was instantly at a disadvantage against a level 97 Super Douluo, a Quasi-Soul Douluo with the Thunder God Bloodline (whose actual combat strength was only slightly weaker than Super Douluo), a Soul Douluo with Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring (whose combat strength was only slightly weaker than the protagonist's, after all, he had absorbed an extra Soul Ring), and eight Soul Douluo forming a formation to suppress it. Its scales kept Rupture, blue blood splattered, and it let out painful hiss.
On the other side, the battle was equally fierce.
The two Soft Bone Rabbit were also startled the moment Yu Boxuan made his move.
"Mommy!" the Little Rabbit, over 90,000 years old, cried out in fright, its pink eyes filled with terror.
"Xiao Wu, don't be afraid!" The 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit Mother instantly shielded her daughter behind her, a resolute glint in her eyes. She knew that the enemy was powerful, far beyond what they, mother and daughter, could contend with.
Yu Qingtian and Yu Boyu have already arrived!
"Where do you think you're going!" Yu Qingtian snorted coldly, his aura as a level 95 Super Douluo locked onto the two of them, and he directly unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar, transforming into a Thunder Dragon and pouncing. The dragon 'Dragon Claw tore through the air, grabbing at the Rabbit Mother!
A pink light flashed in the mother rabbit's eyes, "Instantaneous Movement!" Her figure vanished instantly, reappearing dozens of meters away, narrowly dodging an attack.
"Invincible Golden Body!" At the same time, she activated another life-saving Divine Skill, a faint golden halo emanating from her body, protecting Xiao Wu behind her.
"Hmph! A mere trick!" Yu Qingtian didn't care at all. With a flick of his dragon tail, violent lightning swept out like a storm, forcing the Rabbit Mother to teleport and dodge Instantaneous Movement. She dared not withstand the attack for long. Her attacks were like tickling to Yu Qingtian. He could only barely keep up with her by relying on his two Divine Skill.
Yu Boyu then flanked from the other side, unleashing the full power of a level 91 Titled Douluo. With a wave of his Dragon Claw claws, streaks of lightning blocked Rabbit Mother's retreat, giving her no chance to interfere with the main battle.
The two rabbits were tightly entangled by the two Titled Douluo, and could only rely on teleportation to constantly evade them, facing Instantaneous Movement danger and having no energy to spare. Just as Yu Yuanchen had predicted, they could survive, but in terms of direct combat power, the gap between them and Super Douluo was too great.
On the main battlefield, the Sky Azure Bull Python, in its frenzied counterattack, seized an opening, its tail lashing out like a steel whip, carrying terrifying power and azure light, sweeping straight at Tang Chen!
A fierce glint flashed in Tang Chen's eyes. He neither dodged nor evaded. The blood-red light on his Clear Sky Hammer surged. "Eighth Soul Skill, Second, Titan Sky Break!" He fiercely met the attack head-on!
Boom! The Giant Hammer collided with the python's tail. Tang Chen was shaken so badly that his Blood Essence surged, and he staggered backward. However, the Sky Azure Bull Python's tail was also smashed, its scales shattered, and it was in great pain.
Just as its old power was exhausted and its new power had not yet been generated, lightning burst forth from Yu Yuanchen's eyes, "Thunder God Annihilation Tribulation Spear!" The Thunder Dragon Spear condensed, transforming into an extremely refined Purple-Gold lightning bolt, instantly piercing through the weak point of the Sky Azure Bull Python's protective azure light, and fiercely stabbing into its body!
"Pfft!" The Dragon Spear pierced through his body, bringing with it a spray of blue blood!
"Roar!!!" The Sky Azure Bull Python let out a shrill howl, lightning raging from its wounds, frantically destroying its Life Force!
Yu Boxuan seized the opportunity, and the Thunder Dragon roared, its huge Dragon Claw Entanglement in Destruction lightning, slamming it hard onto the head of the Sky Azure Bull Python!
"Bang!!!"
With a dull thud, the Sky Azure Bull Python's massive bull head was slammed into the lake water. Cracks appeared on its single horn, and blue blood gushed from its eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. Its life force instantly weakened by more than half!
"It's over." Yu Yuanchen's voice was icy. He opened his dragon mouth, and endless thunderous energy began to gather. He activated the Five Thunders Orthodox Law and fully amplified his Soul Skill, preparing to deliver the final blow.
"Mom! Da Ming, he..." In the distance, Xiao Wu, who was being suppressed by Yu Qingtian and Yu Boyu, saw this scene and let out a heart-wrenching cry. She tried to rush over regardless of everything, but was held back by her mother.
Despair and madness flashed in the mother rabbit's eyes. She looked at the heavily injured and dying Sky Azure Bull Python, then at her crying daughter in her arms. She gritted her teeth and a resolute pink light flashed in her eyes!
She actually ignited her Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast essence! A massive burst of energy erupted instantly, temporarily breaking through the blockade imposed by Yu Qingtian and Yu Boyu!
"Xiao Wu! Go!" With her last strength, she pushed her daughter forcefully into the depths of the forest, while simultaneously transforming into Daoliu, rushing headlong towards Yu Boxuan, who was preparing to deliver the final blow to the Sky Azure Bull Python! She was going to self-destruct! To buy her daughter and the Sky Azure Bull Python a last chance of Life Force!
"You're courting death!" Yu Qingtian sneered, swinging his right arm with Dragon Claw claw, unleashing his full power. A terrifying bolt of lightning struck first, even though it was launched later (Yu Qingtian's Right Arm Soul Bone technique is Preemption, which can increase the speed of the next attack by three times), instantly piercing through the burning body of the Rabbit Mother! Clearly, she had run out of uses for her Invincible Golden Body.
"No--!!" Xiao Wu cried out in despair, watching her mother explode in the air into a dazzling pink halo, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a bright red Soul Ring and a crystal-clear Spirit Bone slowly falling.
Her heart was broken.
"Roar..." Upon seeing this scene, the Sky Azure Bull Python let out a low, mournful cry. Blue tears streamed from its huge eyes as it struggled to get up, but it was too late.
Without further hesitation, Yu Yuanchen unleashed his long-awaited Ultimate Thunderstorm, which completely engulfed the head of the Sky Azure Bull Python!
Rumble--!!!
After the terrifying explosion, the lake surface turned blue, and the massive body of the Sky Azure Bull Python slowly sank into the lake, its aura completely annihilated. A blood-red Soul Ring, even deeper and larger than the Rabbit Mother's, slowly emerged.
One of the overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, the 100,000-year-old Sky Azure Bull Python, has been slain!
The battlefield fell silent for a moment.
Yu Yuanchen slowly descended, looking at the floating crimson Soul Ring with calm and undisturbed eyes. His gaze swept across the depths of the forest, where the 90,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit had long since vanished without a trace.
"Decisive indeed... Unfortunately, the law of the jungle prevails, it has always been so." He muttered to himself indifferently, without the slightest pity. Soul Beast and Soul Master are inherently in a hunter-hunter relationship, let alone when the other party is a friend of an enemy.
Tang Chen stepped forward, gazing at the corpse of the Sky Azure Bull Python. His eyes held a mixture of vengeful pleasure and complex emotions, which ultimately coalesced into a deeper resolve. Having avenged his great enemy, his mind seemed to have gained a clearer understanding.
"Chen'er, hurry up and Absorb Soul Ring." Yu Boxuan returned to human form, his aura was quite depleted, and his body was seriously injured from absorbing most of the damage, but he was not in any serious condition. He ordered in a deep voice. At the same time, he signaled everyone to be vigilant about their surroundings. Although this place was a tributary of the Lake of Life, the battle just now had been too tumultuous, and it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't attract other terrifying beings.
Yu Yuanchen nodded, sat down cross-legged, and directed his Spiritual Power toward the 100,000-year-old Sky Azure Bull Python Soul Ring that exuded vast energy and a faint aura of sorrow.
He's about to get his Eighth Soul Ring.
Deep in the forest, a Little Rabbit, having lost everything, is fleeing frantically, filled with endless sorrow and hatred...
