Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear

Inside the Star Dou Great Forest, eleven-year-old Lu Chen was fleeing with Xiao Wu.

Behind them was a rampaging Dark Gold Giant Bear!

The Dark Gold Giant Bear stood over four meters tall, its eyes filled with killing intent. Its arms were exceptionally thick, and a pair of Dark Gold Giant Claws at the end of its arms were peerlessly sharp!

Giant stones and trees in its path were shattered by those Dark Gold Giant Claws.

Lu Chen judged from its surging blood qi, soul power fluctuations, and unique appearance that this giant bear was a Ten Thousand Year Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear!

Xiao Wu glanced back at the pursuing giant bear and shouted angrily, "It ate our soul rings and is still chasing us, isn't that a bit excessive!"

Lu Chen and Xiao Wu had re-entered the Star Dou Great Forest for a Ten Thousand Year Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf. This soul beast grew entirely through slaughter, and its blood could drive other soul beasts into a frenzy!

But when he and Xiao Wu found the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf, this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had already eaten it.

That's right. It ate it! Leaving only half of its remains!

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear had also fallen into a frenzy due to the Bloodthirsty Demonic Wolf's blood. It had already slaughtered countless soul beasts along the way. Now, its dark gold eyes were completely covered by a layer of blood mist, turning it into a beast that only knew slaughter!

Lu Chen turned to look at Xiao Wu. Her clothes were already soaked with sweat, and her stamina and soul power were almost depleted.

Lu Chen immediately picked Xiao Wu up by the waist. His third soul ring lit up, and with a flash of blood-red light, only an afterimage remained in their original spot.

Almost simultaneously, the Dark Gold Giant Bear's massive claws grew three times larger in mid-air. Its terrifying sharp claws, flashing with dark gold light, slammed down fiercely where the afterimage had been.

Surrounding trees and rocks instantly crumbled, and the ground was plowed into several deep gullies.

Lu Chen and Xiao Wu, who had landed in the distance, felt a chill run down their spines. Let alone them, even a giant dragon of the same age might not be a match for this frenzied Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear!

Lu Chen didn't hesitate. His third soul ring lit up multiple times, and in the blink of an eye, he had put over 150 meters between himself and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear!

Lu Chen landed on a large tree and then took out a pitch-black metal box.

[Hell-Rending Dragon Roar Cannon]: Seventh-Rank Soul Tool, single-target offensive type, single-use weapon with dual characteristics of armor penetration and high burst damage. Requires cooperation from two soul masters, one to inject soul power and the other to calibrate and aim. The weapon is completely scrapped after a single use, with an effective range of 500 meters!

Lu Chen's soul power surged into the metal box like a tide. With a series of "kaka" mechanical sounds, the metal box transformed into a cannon barrel as tall as he was!

The Hell-Rending Dragon Roar Cannon's body was covered in dragon scale-like patterns, with dragon wing reliefs carved on both sides and a dragon head guide device at the front. Seven rings of Thunder Pattern Crystal Rings encircled it, the emitter was triangular prism-shaped, a detector was on top, and dark red guiding patterns ran throughout the entire cannon body.

"Xiao Wu! Aim!"

Lu Chen's soul power continued to pour into the Hell-Rending Dragon Roar Cannon. The dragon scale-like patterns on its surface lit up with red light, and the seven Thunder Pattern Crystal Rings lit up one after another!

Xiao Wu stared intently at the semi-transparent crystal screen at the top, locking the cannon's muzzle firmly onto the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's chest.

The Hell-Rending Dragon Roar Cannon's detector suddenly flashed with rapid blue light. The moment it locked onto the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's chest cavity!

The runes on the grip suddenly lit up, and the injected soul power flowed along the Dragon Ridge Conductor towards the Energy Gathering Core. The Thunder Pattern Crystal Rings spun faster, purple-gold electric arcs crackled and exploded, and the cannon body emitted a muffled dragon roar.

Three seconds later, the Energy Gathering Core's light became blinding. A terrifying energy shot out from the triangular prism emitter!

A Crimson Gold Tail Trace tore through the air. The moment it hit the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, a lightning and fire storm with a diameter of eight meters, carrying high temperatures, erupted with a boom!

Purple lightning danced, shredding the outer fur of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear; flames raged, devouring its flesh, and the shockwave even made the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's bones emit a crisp sound.

Lu Chen and Xiao Wu were instantly blown away by the terrifying rebound force. In mid-air, Lu Chen tightly held Xiao Wu in his embrace. The violent impact, carrying the two of them, slammed them hard into a giant tree, the muffled sound accompanied by rustling leaves.

As the storm dissipated, dozens of meters around had become scorched earth. Broken wood and branches were charred and carbonized, and the air was filled with a burnt smell. The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's massive body had been mostly blown to pieces. Its dark gold fur was scorched, and dark red blood was gushing from its wounds, forming a pool on the ground.

Most terrifyingly, this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was still alive. Its remaining one eye, when looking at Lu Chen and Xiao Wu, was still filled with ferocious killing intent.

Lu Chen patted the broken leaves and dust off himself, secretly feeling fortunate: Fortunately, his physical quality was high. If it were Xiao Wu, she would likely be seriously injured, if not dead!

At this moment, Xiao Wu stared blankly with her pink eyes at the tragic scene caused by the Hell-Rending Dragon Roar Cannon. She was clearly frightened by the terrifying destructive power of the soul tool.

Lu Chen rubbed the head of the "Little White Rabbit" and said softly, "Don't be afraid."

Not far away, the barrel of the Hell-Rending Dragon Roar Cannon was covered in cracks. The light halo of the Dragon Ridge Conductor had completely extinguished, leaving only a wisp of green smoke drifting from the heat dissipation holes, like a giant dragon exhaling its last breath.

Lu Chen walked over and put it away. After all, it was a Seventh-Rank Soul Tool, and its manufacturing materials were quite precious.

Lu Chen extended his hand and pulled Xiao Wu up from the ground, asking gently, "Xiao Wu, are you alright?"

Xiao Wu shook her head blankly. Her gaze swept over the dying Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, her eyes still hiding deep apprehension.

Xiao Wu suddenly came to her senses and looked at Lu Chen's torn clothes. She quickly grabbed his arm, "What about you? You took the impact for me, are you injured?"

"No."

Only after Xiao Wu checked him carefully did she finally relax.

Lu Chen looked at the dying Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear. The Asura Demon Sword appeared in his hand. Two purple and one black rings circled the Asura Demon Sword, slowly flowing and emitting a faint red light.

"Blood-Green Swift Edge!"

His second soul ring lit up, and Lu Chen swung his sword, a blood-green sword light accurately piercing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's wound.

Five minutes later, a pitch-black soul ring, as dark as ink, appeared with the death of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

Lu Chen observed it briefly and said joyfully, "About ten thousand years of cultivation, perfect for me!"

Lu Chen sat down cross-legged and immediately began to absorb the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's soul ring.

The black soul ring turned into a stream of light and merged into the Asura Demon Sword. The Asura Demon Sword was instantly covered with a faint black light.

In his mental space, Lu Chen coldly watched the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, condensed from blood qi, opposite him.

The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear roared, and a fierce and unparalleled mental pressure surged towards Lu Chen like a tide.

Lu Chen let out a cold shout. The Asura Demon Sword hovered in the air above the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's head. With a sharp whistling sound, it directly pierced its head.

Strands of blood qi flowed in along the sword body, and the Asura Demon Sword instantly lit up with an eerie scarlet blood light.
