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 flowed within his Heavenly Eye!

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

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

The moment the shield formed, the space within several meters around Long Zhanye seemed to have been stripped 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 different in nature, collided fiercely within this area and corroded each other!

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

There was no earth-shattering explosion as expected.

Bzz—

A resonant hum of forceful compression and friction rang out! Dazzling gray-white light erupted from the point of contact!

Then, Long Zhanye's pupils contracted!

The first Colorless Wall he had condensed began to ripple violently across its surface beneath the Cross Gray Light Blade's sustained assault.

Then came a faint crack. The entire hemispherical shield was instantly covered in fractures before shattering with a bang!

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

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

Soul Power surged forth again, and the Heavenly Eye blazed with light!

Bzz! Bzz!

Two more hemispherical Colorless Walls rose almost instantly in succession.

One before the other, layered together to block the remaining Cross Gray Light Blade!

The second Colorless Wall came into contact with the Cross Gray Light Blade, unleashing another fierce clash and corrosion of energy.

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

In the end, after "grinding away" the second Colorless Wall, it too exhausted its last trace of power.

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

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

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

"Anyone who plays with Chaos is crazy... Can't touch them, can't touch them..."

Long Zhanye breathed slightly heavily, but he knew that the previous attack had definitely been the Double-Eyed Cyclops's final counterattack!

At this moment.

One of its eyes had been destroyed, it was severely wounded, and blood poured from its body. This was the perfect chance to deliver a fatal blow!

Without the slightest hesitation, a cold glint flashed through his eyes. With a flick of his right hand, he decisively took out his ultimate trump card—

A level-six Soul Tool, the Corrosive Ray Cannon!

It had once belonged to his father, 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 muzzle at the giant beast's mangled head.

"End this!"

He murmured as he poured Soul Power into the cannon without holding anything back!

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

Whoosh—!

A dark-green beam shot forth with a piercing shriek through the air and a strong, corrosive stench.

It struck the giant beast's only remaining eyeball with absolute precision!

Sizzle—!!!

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

It rang through the entire forest alongside the Double-Eyed Cyclops's even more shrill, almost un-beastlike scream!

"My eye! My—eye—!!!"

Long Zhanye's entire body trembled, and his pupils suddenly widened! What had he heard?! This Soul Beast... had actually spoken human language?!

Though the pronunciation was blurred, it was undeniably human speech!!

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 madly ate away at the giant beast's eyeball tissue, burrowing inward to burn its brain and nerves!

Dark-green corrosive fluid continuously poured from the eye socket, mixing with blood and tissue fluid and releasing a nauseating odor.

The Double-Eyed Cyclops's enormous body convulsed and twitched violently, letting out several final feeble cries.

At last, with a thunderous crash.

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

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

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

This Double-Eyed Cyclops, with more than forty-six thousand years of cultivation and fearsome renown, finally died completely.

Then, 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 also came to an end.

Zhua Yun was covered in blood, his aura somewhat unsteady, while the corpses of two thirty-thousand-year Cyclopes lay at his feet.

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

When he saw that the larger and even 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 Zhua Yun, with his usual composure and calm, could not hide the shock in his eyes.

"Junior Brother... you..." Zhua Yun quickly walked over and carefully examined the giant beast's corpse and the Soul Ring.

He looked at Long Zhanye again, his tone full of disbelief. "This was a powerful Soul Beast close to fifty thousand years old!"

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

Zhua Yun knew very well what this meant.

Challenging a Soul Beast above one's level was already difficult, especially against a Soul Beast like the Cyclops, which possessed powerful mental 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 level of strength, as well as his command over his Martial Soul, far exceeded Zhua Yun's expectations!

"Impressive!" Zhua Yun praised sincerely. Beyond surprise, his gaze toward Long Zhanye now held several more degrees of recognition.

Hearing his senior brother's praise, Long Zhanye's taut nerves finally relaxed somewhat, 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 slowly to his feet now, patting dust from his body that was not there.

He then stroked his messy beard and looked at the two who had finished their 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!"
