Castor's eyes gleamed with an icy, bone-chilling coldness as he said arrogantly, "Lin Yuan, let me give you a piece of advice. It's not too late to surrender now. Once we make our move, you won't have another chance."
Lin Yuan snorted disdainfully and replied without concern, "That depends on whether you have the ability."
"Then we can only take your corpse back with us."
The black-robed elder, Castor, did not waste any more words. He instantly released his Martial Soul—a lion shrouded in thick black mist. The lion king's roar echoed through the heavens.
His Martial Soul was the Beast Martial Soul, Shadow Mane Lion. As one of the top-tier Beast Martial Souls, the Shadow Mane Lion was no weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
Had he not been forever trapped in that damned place, the City of Slaughter, he would likely have become a renowned top-tier powerhouse long ago.
"Lin Yuan, since you insist on defying the heavens, I will make sure your soul is scattered today, condemning you to eternal damnation!"
Castor swung his right hand forward, and his Eighth Soul Ring lit up. He immediately shouted, "Eighth Soul Skill, Lion Tiger Shattering Heaven and Earth!"
The sudden beastly roar was like thunder exploding beneath a clear sky, resounding through the heavens and shattering the silence between heaven and earth.
The space before everyone rippled violently, followed by sound waves expanding outward like lightning.
With a deafening boom, the tranquil lake erupted as if a bomb had been thrown into it, sending enormous waves seven or eight zhang high surging into the air.
They crashed back down with a roar, and splashing water and mist shrouded the entire valley in hazy vapor.
Like furious thunder erupting amid dense storm clouds, the lion's roar swept outward in rolling waves from the Shadow Mane Lion as its center. Even the thunderous crash of the waterfall was drowned out by it.
It could be vaguely heard within a radius of ten li. Wherever the sound waves passed, beasts collapsed limp, while even the surrounding subordinates had to stagger backward under the force generated by the roar.
Some weaker wolves, tigers, leopards, and other beasts near the lake were directly shaken to death by the thunderous sound waves!
Lin Yuan merely waved his sleeve, and a barrier formed from special Soul Power perfectly blocked all the lion's roars before him.
At the same time, the aura emanating from his body made the surrounding Soul Masters instinctively stagger back two steps, their expressions changing drastically.
"If this is all the strength you possess, then no one here today should even think of leaving alive."
Lin Yuan lightly stepped his right foot onto the ground. In an instant, surging Soul Power spread continuously in all directions like raging waves, twisting the air wherever it passed.
At the same time, the Soul Rings symbolizing status and strength began rising one after another.
A full nine Soul Rings silently appeared around his body.
Purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, red!
The energy released by the crimson Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings constantly told them that Lin Yuan before them was a Title Douluo—and a top-tier powerhouse with Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!
At his right side, a longsword radiating dense baleful energy silently appeared. It was four chi and three cun long, two cun wide, with a hilt measuring one chi and two cun. A ring of blood-red mist coiled around it, while dense, peculiar patterns were engraved across its blade, making the sword seem all the more eerie.
Most terrifying of all, an unimaginable aura of death faintly emanated from its edge. This was the God-level Martial Soul, the Asura Demon Sword!
When they saw the Soul Rings circling Lin Yuan's body, nearly all the powerhouses present froze where they stood. Unable to believe their eyes, they instinctively drew in sharp breaths.
"Hundred... Hundred-Thousand-Year... Soul Rings..."
Castor staggered back two steps and screamed, "No, impossible! You didn't have Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings when you left the City of Slaughter. What did you do?!"
"Ask the King of Slaughter after you die."
Lin Yuan struck again. Frigid sword energy suddenly shot forth like raging waves, while the domain around him unfolded, enveloping every living being within a hundred meters.
Asura Domain!
Divine Slaughter's Domain!
The moment the two domains appeared, this ninety-third-ranked Title Douluo finally realized that something was wrong. He immediately pushed off hard with both legs, using the momentum of his retreat to try to escape beyond the domain's edge.
However, he was being far too wishful. With a casual wave of Lin Yuan's hand, an ordinary wisp of Soul Power whistled past like a blade, while the dense power of heaven and earth completely suppressed the surrounding space.

"Damn brat! Everyone, attack at once and kill him!"
Castor realized that the Lin Yuan before him was absolutely not someone he could contend with. He immediately shouted and ordered the other powerhouses to attack together, intending to kill Lin Yuan here.
Yet Lin Yuan merely snorted. Back in the City of Slaughter, he had risen to fame; a single glance from him had been enough to fill countless powerhouses with deep fear. Now that he could use Soul Skills, there was even less need to mention it.
Blood-red sword light shot toward the charging Soul Masters like crescent moons. Apart from two Title Douluo and three Soul Douluo, everyone else was instantly severed at the waist and died on the spot.
Seeing this, Castor's lips twitched. He abruptly turned and glared at Lin Yuan before roaring, "Lin Yuan, you're courting death!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
The other Soul Masters did not hesitate either. They likewise unleashed their Seventh Soul Skills, intending to join forces and kill Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan held one hand behind his back and slightly raised his right hand. "Right Arm Soul Bone Skill, Heaven and Earth Reversal, Azure Luan, Sky-Howling Break!"
Following Lin Yuan's sharp shout, the phantom of an Azure Luan soul beast, stretching a thousand zhang or more, tore through the air. Accompanied by a phoenix cry, it suddenly slammed into the Soul Masters before it.
Castor immediately sensed danger and grabbed the Soul Douluo beside him, pulling him in front as a shield. In the Soul Douluo's terrified gaze, the Azure Luan phantom exploded just three chi before him!
A massive mushroom cloud rose into the sky, while the gale it stirred whistled past in an endless torrent like a surging river. Wherever it passed, the air twisted violently.
Not only that, but the forest within a hundred zhang was uprooted entirely. The Soul Masters from before had no chance to resist and were instantly reduced to ash.
Even that Title Douluo could not help coughing up a mouthful of scarlet blood. He slammed heavily onto the ground, twitched twice, and died on the spot.
