Colorless Wall

Long Zhanye did not hesitate.

His third black Soul Ring lit up!

"Third Soul Skill—Colorless Wall!"

With a low shout from Long Zhanye, Soul Power surged wildly around him, while Chaos Power circulated within his Heavenly Eye!

An invisible transparent barrier instantly condensed and unfolded before him, forming a hemispherical shield!

The wall of this "Colorless Wall" was itself colorless and transparent, yet Chaos Qi could be seen flowing across its surface like ripples on water.

The instant the shield formed, the space within several meters around Long Zhanye seemed to have been drained of color as well.

Whether it was the surrounding grass and trees or anything else, everything took on a lifeless gray-white texture, as though it had been dragged into a realm of gray and white.

Two forms of Chaos Power, sharing the same origin yet differing in nature, collided fiercely and eroded each other within this area!

The Cross Gray Light Blade, carrying the will to annihilate everything, slammed viciously into the seemingly fragile Colorless Wall!

There was no earth-shaking explosion as expected.

Bzzzz—

A droning sound of violent compression and friction rang out! Blinding gray-white light erupted from the point of contact!

Then, Long Zhanye's pupils contracted!

The first Colorless Wall he had condensed became violently unstable under the Cross Gray Light Blade's sustained assault.

A faint crack sounded, and the entire hemispherical shield was instantly covered in fractures before shattering with a boom!

Though the Cross Gray Light Blade had dimmed somewhat, it still carried terrifying residual force as it continued onward!

What terrifying power! Long Zhanye's heart tightened, but his movements did not pause.

Soul Power surged forth again, and the Heavenly Eye shone brilliantly!

Bzz! Bzz!

Two more hemispherical Colorless Walls rose in rapid succession almost instantly.

One before the other, layered upon each other, they blocked the remaining Cross Gray Light Blade!

When the second Colorless Wall came into contact with the Cross Gray Light Blade, another violent clash and erosion of energy erupted.

This time, the Cross Gray Light Blade's power was visibly reduced by more than half.

In the end, after "wearing away" the second Colorless Wall, it exhausted its last trace of strength as well.

Together with the shattered wall, it silently vanished into the air.

Old Man Gu in the distance had long since been alarmed by the violent collision of Chaos Power.

Ignoring the soreness in his eyes, he scrambled farther back, muttering incessantly, "Good heavens..."

"People who play with Chaos are all lunatics... Can't touch them, can't touch them..."

Long Zhanye breathed slightly heavily, but he knew that the strike just now had definitely been this Double-Eyed Cyclops's final counterattack!

At this moment.

One of its eyes had been destroyed, it was gravely wounded, and blood poured from its body. This was the best opportunity to deliver the fatal blow!

Without any hesitation, a cold gleam flashed through his eyes. With a flick of his right hand, he decisively took out his ultimate weapon—

A Level Six Soul Tool, the Corrosive Ray Cannon!

This had once been his father's relic, one of the precious Soul Tools bestowed by the Bright Jade Sect, containing the dual destructive power of corrosion and burning!

Long Zhanye steadily aimed the cannon's muzzle at the giant beast's mangled head.

"End this."

He murmured, pouring Soul Power into the cannon without holding anything back!

At the muzzle, a dark green glow that inspired dread rapidly gathered and compressed!

Whoosh—!

A dark green ray shot forth, carrying a piercing shriek through the air and a dense, corrosive stench.

It flew with perfect accuracy toward the giant beast's sole remaining eyeball!

Sizzle—!!!

A horrifying sound that made one's scalp tingle, like a red-hot branding iron plunging into cold water, or strong acid corroding metal.

It was accompanied by the Double-Eyed Cyclops's even more agonized shriek, so miserable it barely sounded like a beast's roar, echoing through the entire forest!

"My eye! My—eye—!!!"

Long Zhanye's entire body jolted, and his pupils abruptly widened! What had he heard?! This Soul Beast... could actually speak human language?!

Though its pronunciation was unclear, those were undeniably human words!!

But at this moment, his shock lasted only an instant.

The Corrosive Ray Cannon's terrifying power was mercilessly revealing itself.

Dark green corrosive energy frantically eroded the giant beast's eyeball tissue, burrowing deeper inside to burn its Brain and nerves!

Dark green corrosive fluid continuously poured from its eye socket, mixing with blood and bodily fluids while releasing a nauseating odor.

The Double-Eyed Cyclops's enormous body convulsed and spasmed violently, letting out its final few feeble whimpers.

Finally, with a boom.

It collapsed completely onto the ground, leaving only weak gasps.

Long Zhanye put away the Corrosive Ray Cannon, gripped the Azure Underworld Dagger, and strode forward without a shred of pity.

He delivered several swift, clean finishing blows to the giant beast's neck, heart, and other vital points.

This Double-Eyed Cyclops, with a cultivation of over forty-six thousand years and a fearsome reputation, finally died completely.

Immediately afterward, a black Soul Ring slowly condensed above its corpse and rose into the air.

Almost at the same time, the battle on the other side came to an end as well.

Zhua Yun was covered in blood, his breathing somewhat uneven. Beneath his feet lay the corpses of two thirty-thousand-year Cyclopes.

Having just dealt with his own opponents, he immediately turned to look toward Long Zhanye.

When he saw that the larger and more ferocious Double-Eyed Cyclops had already fallen in a pool of blood.

A black Soul Ring floated silently above it, while Long Zhanye stood steadily beside it?

Even with Zhua Yun's usual calmness and composure, unconcealable shock appeared in his eyes.

"Junior Brother... you..." Zhua Yun hurried over and carefully examined the giant beast's corpse on the ground and the Soul Ring.

Then he looked at Long Zhanye again, his tone full of disbelief. "This is a powerful Soul Beast close to the fifty-thousand-year level!"

"Though it was injured... you only have three Soul Rings, and your Soul Power is only at level fifty-two... Yet you managed to kill it alone?!"

Zhua Yun understood very well what this meant.

Challenging a Soul Beast above one's level was no easy task, especially when facing a Cyclops—a Soul Beast with powerful spiritual strength, considerable intelligence, and exceptional ferocity.

Long Zhanye had not only done it, but he also appeared not to have suffered any fatal injuries.

This strength, as well as his command of his own Martial Soul, had far surpassed Zhua Yun's expectations!

"Impressive!" Zhua Yun praised him sincerely. As he looked at Long Zhanye, there was now more recognition than surprise in his eyes.

Hearing his senior brother's praise, Long Zhanye's taut nerves finally relaxed slightly, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Meanwhile.

Old Man Gu, who had previously been leaning against a tree trunk.

Looking as if his "old bones had fallen apart and he couldn't move," yet leisurely watching the show.

Actually rose to his feet at an unhurried pace. He patted at dust that did not exist on his clothes.

Then he stroked his messy beard and looked at the two who had finished the battle, a satisfied expression appearing on his face.

He nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad. Well done. As expected... ahem, as expected of those guided by this old man!"
