Tyrannical Dragon Soul! Blood-colored Soul Rings, Three Hundred-Thousand-Year Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Soul Rings

The Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Three Brothers were unwilling to die just like that!

Even if their Soul Rings were absorbed, the remnants of their resentment and soul fragments would drag the human who had killed them down to hell, perishing together with him!

This was the "Soul Shock" that Soul Beasts over ten thousand years old inevitably produced upon death.

It was one of the most dangerous hurdles when absorbing high-level Soul Rings.

And now, Lin Qing was facing the combined soul impact of three Ninety-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!

That spiritual impact had condensed into something nearly tangible, like a tide mixed with blades, carrying the filthy will of Destruction and chaos as it crashed fiercely toward where Lin Qing's consciousness resided!

If it hit him head-on, he would become an idiot at best and have his soul scattered at worst.

At the critical moment!

"Roar—!!!"

A Dragon's Roar, louder and more majestic than anything in reality, as if it had traveled directly from the primordial ancient era, resounded through the entire turbulent spiritual world!

This Dragon's Roar carried supreme nobility and power, instantly overwhelming the roaring waves and shrieks of the vengeful spirits.

From the dark, chaotic depths of the Sea of Consciousness, boundless golden light erupted!

A phantom of a Giant Dragon, as if forged entirely from pure gold, rose into the sky. Its colossal, winding body stretched like a continuous mountain range, and every scale gleamed with the luster of power!

Simply coiled there, it radiated an ancient nobility that made souls tremble.

It was the source spiritual projection of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul!

Its Dragon Pupils, formed entirely from the purest golden radiance, looked down indifferently at the three still-flailing "ant" resentments below.

The disdain in its gaze was like that of a giant looking at insects trying to bite its feet.

The next moment.

The Golden Dragon phantom moved!

There was no flashy technique.

It was simply the most primal and direct instinct of a predator at the top of the food chain when facing prey.

Its enormous body dove down with a terrifying Aura capable of crushing everything!

It was as fast as a golden bolt of lightning splitting the darkness.

Its dragon maw opened in fury.

It precisely bit down on the Ant Emperor resentment rushing at the front and shrieking the most fiercely!

"Screech—!!!"

The resentment caught in its jaws let out a shrill, miserable howl sharp enough to pierce the soul,

struggling and twisting desperately as black mist spilled everywhere.

The other two resentments were also stunned by this sudden development, and their attack faltered.

But how terrifying was the bite force of the Golden Dragon phantom?

It was like iron pincers locking tightly around a beetle.

The Ant Emperor resentment could not break free in the slightest!

The Golden Dragon phantom suddenly whipped its massive head, the movement brutal and filled with power.

"Riiip!"

The sound of fabric tearing echoed through the spiritual world.

That enormous resentment Spirit Body was forcibly torn apart, ripped into countless drifting black-red fragments of light.

Then, under the horrified "gazes" of the other two resentments—if they could still feel such an emotion—the Golden Dragon phantom made a move that left even Lin Qing dumbfounded.

It opened its dragon maw and, as if eating a snack, took those shattered spiritual fragments.

"Crunch, crunch," it swallowed them down!

It even let out a low, satisfied Dragon's Roar.

Absolute suppression!

Pure devouring!

This was not a battle at all. It was feeding!

The remaining two Ant Emperor resentments were utterly terrified. How could they still have any thought of revenge?

They turned and tried to flee, trying to burrow deeper into the Sea of Consciousness to hide.

But the Golden Dragon phantom clearly had no intention of letting these delivered "snacks" go.

Its Dragon Tail, larger than a mountain ridge, casually swept out, striking one fleeing resentment with the precision of a golden heavenly pillar crossing the sky.

"Puff!"

That resentment did not even finish its scream before it exploded into an even finer mist of light.

Immediately afterward, a Dragon Claw shot out like lightning and seized the final resentment in its palm,

like a person grabbing a buzzing fly.

The Dragon Claw clenched slightly.

"Squelch!"

The last trace of stubborn resentment completely dissipated as well, turning into pure but ownerless fragments of spiritual energy.

"Roar—!"

The Golden Dragon phantom raised its head and released a long, joyous Dragon's Roar.

It opened its massive maw and generated a powerful suction force, drawing in every fragment of scattered spiritual energy like a whale drinking in water.

They were quickly digested and absorbed completely.

These spiritual fragments from Ninety-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts seemed to be quite a decent supplement for it.

The towering waves in the spiritual world swiftly calmed as the resentments were devoured.

Though the Sea Surface still rippled slightly, it had returned to Lin Qing's control.

The crisis was resolved, and in a manner so tyrannical it could only be called barbaric.

My Martial Soul... is adorably simple and brutal.

Lin Qing's Consciousness Core let out a breath of relief, unable to stop himself from grumbling inwardly,

Should I prepare some "snacks" for it in the future?

At the very instant the Golden Dragon phantom devoured the final fragment of resentment.

Lin Qing's body in the real world also underwent its most crucial and intense transformation!

The three streams of Black Soul Ring energy within him, which had already been initially subdued by the Golden Dragon Martial Soul and were slowly circulating and being refined along profound paths, suddenly seemed to have been thrown into a furnace at its highest temperature!

"Buzz!"

Without warning, an extremely dense golden radiance erupted from Lin Qing's body.

This light was no longer the surface covering that appeared when he possessed his Martial Soul.

It shone from within his body, making his entire person look like a divine statue cast from pure gold!

The brilliance was so intense that even the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, standing guard beside him in vigilance, narrowed their eyes.

The three little girls instinctively covered their faces with their small hands, peeking through the gaps between their fingers.

This golden light was the most core attribute of the Golden Dragon Martial Soul—Ultimate Power!

At that moment, it seemed to transform into the greatest forging hammer between heaven and earth, while the three streams of Black Soul Ring energy were raw materials awaiting refinement.

The invisible yet real Hammer of Power began striking, pounding, compressing, and purifying those three streams of energy over and over, like countless rounds of hammering!

During this strange and overwhelmingly tyrannical "forging," an unbelievable transformation occurred.

The faint ring of red radiance that had originally only decorated the edges of the Soul Ring energy, so faint it was almost impossible to notice, was like thick ink dropped into Clear Water as it began spreading, deepening, and expanding at an astonishing rate!

Under the pounding of that ultimate golden light, the black color was gradually expelled and refined away like an impurity.

The red, meanwhile, became more vivid and dazzling, like life force and origin being awakened!

Outside.

The Sky Azure Bull Python, Titan Giant Ape, and the three nervous little girls all held their breath, their eyes wide as they stared fixedly above Lin Qing's head.

There, the colors of the three ink-black Soul Rings that had been floating and slowly rotating were undergoing an astonishing transformation visible to the naked eye!

The red glow at their edges spread wildly, quickly eroding and covering the black regions at their centers.

The red grew deeper and brighter, radiating fluctuations of life and energy that were more majestic, profound, and heart-palpitating than the Black Soul Rings from before!

Within a few breaths.

"Buzz—!"

A clear trembling sound carrying a sense of completion rang out simultaneously from the three Soul Rings.

Immediately afterward, all the black completely vanished!

In its place were three rings of bewitching, blood-deep color, their flowing radiance making them seem as though they were breathing with life—Blood Red!

Blood Red Soul Rings represented the hundred-thousand-year level!

The three Thousand Jun Ant Emperor Soul Rings, originally only Ninety Thousand Years old, had undergone an inconceivable qualitative transformation under the tyrannical purification and forging of the Golden Dragon's Ultimate Power attribute, all rising into genuine Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!
