Nine-Tailed Fox

Ye Tianming looked at Long Chen with some surprise.

A Thousand-Year Soul Beast was not something a Level 20 Soul Master could handle.

However, he also wanted to see what kind of power Long Chen's First Soul Skill possessed.

"Xiao Chen, you can handle it. I'll step in if you're in danger."

"Okay."

As the two were speaking, a fluctuation of soul power suddenly came from the cave entrance.

The Two-Colored Demon Fox noticed the approaching human soul masters and immediately darted out of the cave, baring its fangs and glaring in their direction.

Long Chen finally got a clear look at the Two-Colored Demon Fox.

It was nearly two meters long, its body composed of White and Crimson colors. Its body was white, while its forehead, ears, and the latter half of its tail were crimson.

Fearing it would proactively use its Charm Skill, Long Chen didn't hesitate and quickly released his martial soul and soul rings.

As the lute strings were plucked, the First Soul Skill, Demon Sound Summons Taotie, was activated.

A giant Taotie Phantom instantly condensed into form, appearing above the Two-Colored Demon Fox's head.

As soon as the Taotie Phantom appeared, it seemed to carry an Ancient Ferocious Aura, surrounded by a Dark Glow.

Its gaping maw was like a black hole capable of devouring all things, its fangs interlocked, and cold light flashing, striking fear into the heart.

The Blood Red Eye beneath its armpit was like an abyss, exuding endless greed and destructive intent, as if even space trembled slightly under its Gaze.

Seeing this, Ye Tianming couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Compared to the Taotie Phantom he had seen the first time, this one was more powerful and more solid.

Clearly, as Long Chen's soul power increased, this soul skill had gained greater power.

As Long Chen's lute strings continued to be plucked, the Taotie Phantom let out a low, earth-shattering roar, its Sound Waves rolling and striking the very Soul's Depths of the Two-Colored Demon Fox.

The Fierce Look in the Two-Colored Demon Fox's eyes was instantly replaced by Panic.

It instinctively felt the threat from the Taotie Phantom.

It was a suppression originating from the deepest part of its Bloodline, leaving it almost unable to move.

The demon fox's body began to tremble slightly, wanting to escape this Land of Death.

Long Chen did not give it a chance.

His Fingertips danced faster on the lute strings.

The Taotie phantom seemed alive, extending its massive claws and grasping the air, binding the Two-Colored Demon Fox with Invisible Power.

Then, its blood-basin mouth bit down on the Two-Colored Demon Fox's neck, its sharp fangs piercing it directly.

The Two-Colored Demon Fox struggled desperately, but to no avail.

In the blink of an eye, it fell into a pool of blood.

An extremely oppressive aura permeated the air, as if even time had been frozen by this power.

Seeing this, Ye Tianming was shocked.

He couldn't imagine that Long Chen, who hadn't even obtained his Second Soul Ring, had actually killed a soul beast with cultivation close to a thousand years alone.

That Taotie phantom not only possessed immense Devouring Power but also had terrifying lethality.

Long Chen restrained his soul power.

Ye Tianming walked over.

"Xiao Chen, I've met so many soul masters, but I've never seen such a powerful Hundred-Year Soul Skill. The power of your First Soul Skill is in no way inferior to a Thousand-Year Soul Skill."

"Uncle Ye flatters me."

Since obtaining his First Soul Skill, Long Chen had never used it; this was the first time.

He himself hadn't expected the Taotie phantom to have such powerful lethality.

Wisps of yellow mist slowly rose from the corpse of the Two-Colored Demon Fox, gradually condensing into a Yellow Soul Ring.

Within that yellow soul ring, faint dark purple light seemed to emanate.

"Xiao Chen, adjust your state and prepare to absorb the soul ring."

"Okay."

Long Chen took a deep breath, calming his Inner Excitement.

Under Ye Tianming's protection, he slowly walked towards the yellow soul ring, his heart filled with anticipation and a hint of apprehension.

He wondered what kind of soul skill he would obtain this time.

Long Chen sat cross-legged beneath the soul ring, closed his eyes, and concentrated, beginning to absorb the Soul Ring Energy.

A warm yet slightly stinging power instantly surged through Long Chen's whole body.

Although the soul ring was close to a thousand years old, Long Chen did not suffer as much pain absorbing its energy as he did when absorbing his first soul ring.

The physical training and whale rubber had taken effect, giving him a tougher body that could easily withstand the Energy Impact from the soul ring.

As time passed, the light of the soul ring gradually dimmed, finally integrating completely into Long Chen's body.

Long Chen opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within him, his eyes flashing with more confident light.

"Xiao Chen, you've finally finished absorbing the soul ring. How do you feel?"

Ye Tianming asked with concern upon seeing this.

Long Chen smiled slightly and stood up.

"Uncle Ye, my soul power has increased by two levels. I feel like my strength has taken another step forward."

"Very good."

Ye Tianming nodded with gratification, and asked with some anticipation:

"What about the soul skill? Is it more normal?"

Long Chen scratched his head.

"Uncle Ye, my second soul skill is much more normal than the first, but it's still a bit strange."

"How is it strange?"

"I can use the Demon Qin Sound to summon a Nine-Tailed Fox."

"Nine-Tailed Fox?"

Ye Tianming's eyes widened in disbelief.

The Nine-Tailed Fox was the pinnacle among Fox-type Soul Beasts, a creature that existed only in legends, and most Soul Masters had never seen one.

Ye Tianming hadn't seen one either, and he became even more expectant.

"Xiao Chen, quickly release your soul skill and show me."

"Okay."

As Long Chen spoke, his soul power surged within him, his martial soul reappeared, and his soul ring lit up, two pale yellow halos slowly rotating around him.

His fingers lightly touched the lute strings, and as the notes danced, the atmosphere in the air began to become subtle and mysterious.

A massive Nine-Tailed Fox Phantom slowly materialized in front of Long Chen.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's form was the same as the Two-Colored Demon Fox they had encountered earlier, with a white body, and its forehead, ears, and the latter half of its tail were crimson red.

But what was different was that instead of one tail, it had nine!

The nine tails were like nine flowing ribbons, each composed of pure white and blazing crimson red, shimmering with an eerie light, looking both sacred and demonic.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Phantom's eyes were deep and agile, as if they could see into people's hearts. Its appearance caused the surrounding air to solidify, and a faint Pressure enveloped the area.

Its nine tails swayed gently, each movement seeming to carry a slight ripple of space, displaying its extraordinary power.

Ye Tianming watched the scene before him, his eyes filled with shock.

The Nine-Tailed Fox, a soul beast that only existed in legends, had now been summoned by Long Chen in the form of a soul skill.

This was simply beyond his imagination!

Long Chen gazed at the Nine-Tailed Fox Phantom before him, his heart also filled with surprise and joy.

He continued to pluck the Lute Strings, and the Lute Sound became even more melodious.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Phantom also reacted accordingly.

Its nine tails began to dance slowly, accompanied by an Eerie Yingying sound, as if it could bewitch people's hearts, making them involuntarily intoxicated.
