Earth Source Sand Dragon of a Hundred Thousand Years!

The two of them made their way into the Core Circle of Sunset Forest, where they had already encountered several Soul Beasts that were seventy to eighty thousand years old.

"Although Sunset Forest isn't as powerful as Star Dou Great Forest, there are still plenty of terrifying Soul Beasts within it."

Yu Yuanzhen's expression was grave.

These Soul Beasts would greatly slow their advance.

Fortunately, Yu Yuanzhen's past research had not been in vain, and he quickly found a trail.

Looking at the crawling marks on the ground, each dozens of meters wide, Yu Yuanzhen's expression brightened.

"There's still residual aura. It must have been left behind some time ago."

Yu Yuanzhen touched the marks and pondered briefly.

"This creature most likely lives underground and only came to the surface for some particular reason."

Yu Yuanzhen truly deserved to be a well-informed Title Douluo. His research into Soul Beasts ran deep.

If the Old Clan Master had not fallen gravely ill back then, this Soul Beast would likely have become his Soul Ring already.

Yu Tianjun surveyed the surroundings, sensing the unusual aura in the air.

"But Father, this Soul Beast is so huge. If it travels between the surface and underground, where is its entrance?"

Yu Tianjun's question made Yu Yuanzhen frown.

"That's right. The hole it frequently enters and exits must be enormous, and there should be plenty of lingering aura around it. Yet I searched for an entire year and never found it."

"We can probably only wait here."

Yu Yuanzhen sighed. "If this Soul Beast still hasn't appeared within a month, I'll take you to Star Dou Great Forest."

Yu Yuanzhen had already made up his mind. Yu Tianjun's Soul Ring had to be the best possible; it could not be below a hundred thousand years.

If they could not find this mysterious hundred-thousand-year dragon-type Soul Beast, Yu Yuanzhen would use every connection he had and pay any price to secure the Sky Azure Bull Python's Soul Ring for Yu Tianjun!

The two hid near the crawling trail, while Yu Luocong delivered supplies to them.

Their preparations for a prolonged battle were complete. All that remained was for the Soul Beast to appear.

One day, near the end of the month, Yu Tianjun's ears twitched. He abruptly rose to his feet, startling Yu Yuanzhen beside him.

"Something moving?"

"Yes. It's coming from underground."

Yu Tianjun's expression was solemn as the Golden Dragon King Bloodline within him began circulating on its own.

It was a reaction to encountering a powerful opponent.

Likewise, judging from the response of his bloodline and Golden Dragon Body, the opponent's strength had not exceeded expectations. It was around a hundred thousand years old.

Yu Yuanzhen nodded, anticipation appearing in his eyes.

He wanted to see exactly what this Soul Beast was. The mystery that had troubled him for so many years was finally about to be solved.

The instant the two took up their stances, a ferocious dragon-like head suddenly drilled out of the ground.

There was no sound at all. It was as quiet as a fish swimming through water.

The earth parted like waves, then returned to normal after its several-hundred-meter dragon body emerged.

Yu Yuanzhen froze in place.

"An Earth Source Sand Dragon?!"

"Father, what is an Earth Source Sand Dragon?"

Yu Tianjun paused, searching through the records he had read in the clan over the years. He had no recollection of an Earth Source Sand Dragon at all.

"That was a name left behind by one of our clan's ancestors. This kind of Soul Beast has an extremely high affinity with the earth. Whenever it attacks, the ground shakes and mountains tremble."

"More importantly, its dragon body has extraordinarily powerful defenses."

"The one that ancestor encountered was only at the ten-thousand-year level, yet it still defeated him, an eight-ring Soul Douluo, by force."

Yu Yuanzhen took a deep breath. As he watched the Earth Source Sand Dragon gradually slither into the distance, his hands had already transformed into Thunder Dragon Claws.

"A Soul Beast like this is perfect for your seventh Soul Ring!"

A sharp gleam filled Yu Yuanzhen's eyes. In the next instant, he transformed into a dragon!

The current Yu Yuanzhen was even stronger than when he had sparred with Yu Tianjun before.

That was because he had fully integrated his cultivation as a rank ninety-five Super Douluo.

As a top-tier Martial Soul, once the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon reached the level of a Super Douluo, ordinary hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts were no match for it at all.

However, the Earth Source Sand Dragon's bloodline was no ordinary one either.

In terms of bloodline rank, the Earth Source Sand Dragon and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon were on the same level.

Faced with Yu Yuanzhen's attack, the Earth Source Sand Dragon instantly flew into a rage.

It had been sleeping underground, but as a dragon, it was naturally combative and hot-tempered. Now that it faced another dragon's provocation, it immediately attacked with all its strength.

"Roar!!!"

A vast amount of sand and dust was swept into the air, forming an enormous sandstorm that uprooted dozens of trees the moment it appeared.

While Yu Yuanzhen held the Earth Source Sand Dragon back from the front, Yu Tianjun's figure flashed, and he appeared beside the middle section of its body.

The Earth Source Sand Dragon's several-hundred-meter dragon body granted it terrifying strength, but left it somewhat lacking in agility.

"Clang!!!"

The Golden Dragon Spear appeared in his hand. Before its sharp aura even touched the Earth Source Sand Dragon's scales, it had already sliced open its flesh!

"Dragon King God-Breaking Spear!"

Yu Tianjun opened with a killing move. The Golden Dragon Spear shot forth and, in an instant, pierced through the Earth Source Sand Dragon's flesh, boring straight through the middle of its body.

"Roar!!!"

The Earth Source Sand Dragon let out a pained dragon roar and violently turned its body toward Yu Tianjun.

Yu Tianjun was utterly fearless. The sneak attack from the side had been meant to seize the advantage, but in a frontal battle, it was time to show this creature how a prodigy fought above his rank.

Yu Tianjun raised his left leg, and a Thunder Dragon Tail appeared.

The second soul skill of the Thunder Tyrant Dragon Left Leg Bone, Thunderstorm Dragon Tail!

This time, Yu Tianjun attacked with all his strength. The hundred-meter Thunder Dragon Tail lashed out like a storm, as though a true Thunder Tyrant Dragon had swung its tail with all its might!

The Earth Source Sand Dragon showed no fear. Earth-yellow armor emerged across its body as it actually intended to take Yu Tianjun's strike head-on.

"Boom!!!!"

Amid a deafening blast, the Earth Source Sand Dragon forced its way through the Thunder Dragon Tail and charged before Yu Tianjun. Its ferocious dragon head was covered in scorched black marks.

Yet the injuries were clearly not fatal.

As an earth-element Earth Source Sand Dragon, it possessed a certain resistance to lightning.

Yu Tianjun did not panic. With a flick of his left leg, the tremendous burst of force propelled him toward the Earth Source Sand Dragon.

The first soul skill of the Thunder Tyrant Dragon Left Leg Bone, Thunder Shield!

The Thunder Shield, which carried a damage-reflection effect, blocked the Earth Source Sand Dragon's full-force blow.

With a raised hand, Yu Tianjun directly summoned the Golden Dragon Spear back into his grasp and drove it toward the Earth Source Sand Dragon's head with all his strength.

With a physique comparable to that of a strength-type Super Douluo, he exerted his full power, plunging the Golden Dragon Spear directly into the Earth Source Sand Dragon's skull.

A massive amount of life force flowed into Yu Tianjun's body, further strengthening his physical body.

Sensing something wrong within its body, the Earth Source Sand Dragon struggled frantically to break free.

"Indestructible Golden Domain!"

"Divine Slaughter's Domain!"

The two domains spread out, weakening the Earth Source Sand Dragon's power once more.

Indestructible Golden Domain was especially effective. Tainted with an aura on the level of a Dragon King, it directly reduced the Earth Source Sand Dragon's strength by fifteen percent.

Combined with the Divine Slaughter's Domain's ten percent reduction, all the Earth Source Sand Dragon's attributes fell by a quarter!

Yu Yuanzhen was overjoyed. He immediately activated Martial Soul Possession and launched a frenzied assault, his fifth, sixth, and eighth Soul Rings flashing wildly as though his life depended on it.
