Ten Thousand Year Evil Beast Descends, God-Tier Soul Skill Displays Might

The black clouds collapsed violently inward.

A massive demon tiger over fifteen meters in length stepped slowly out from the clouds.

Its appearance bore a slight resemblance to the Dark Nightmare Demon Tiger that had died previously.

However, the demonic patterns on its hide were far more intricate and profound.

A pair of black, leathery wings that blotted out the sky sprouted from its back.

A top-tier Evil Beast over fifty thousand years old.

The Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger.

It had just sensed the death of its offspring.

It also sensed the pure, ultimate source of darkness radiating from Su Chen.

Greed for a supreme bloodline overcame its instinctive fear of Title Douluos.

It wanted to devour Su Chen.

To complete the final transformation of its life essence.

Yue Guan's expression turned grim.

A top-tier Evil Beast over fifty thousand years old was incredibly difficult to deal with.

This beast had thick skin and flesh.

Furthermore, it possessed the ability to shuttle through space over short distances.

"Old Ghost, don't hold back. Use your finishing moves."

Yue Guan slammed his hands together in front of his chest.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum rapidly expanded above his head.

The eighth black spirit ring beneath his feet suddenly flared to life.

"Eighth Spirit Skill: Flowing Light Myriad Radiance."

Countless golden petals transformed into blinding lasers.

They surged toward the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger in mid-air with an overwhelming, all-encompassing momentum.

Gui Mei did not remain idle either.

His body instantly dissipated into countless black ghostly shadows.

They raced upward along the shadows on the ground.

Attempting to cut off the demon tiger's retreat.

The Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger let out a heaven-shaking roar.

It flapped its wings violently.

A dense black storm erupted from its maw.

The black storm was laced with highly corrosive abyssal venom.

The golden petals collided with the storm.

Dense, explosive sounds rang out.

The two forces remained deadlocked in mid-air.

But the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger's true target was not these two Title Douluos at all.

Under the cover of the storm, its massive body suddenly turned illusory.

That was its innate skill.

Shadow Shuttle.

Yue Guan's pupils contracted sharply.

"Not good. It's going for the Holy Son!"

The very instant Yue Guan cried out in alarm.

The massive body of the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger had already traversed space.

Without any warning, it appeared directly above Su Chen's head.

Its blood-red maw opened wide.

Carrying a nauseating, fishy stench.

It bit down directly toward Su Chen.

This was a lethal strike from a ten-thousand-year-level spirit beast.

Even a Soul Douluo would be instantly killed by such a blow.

It was already too late for Gui Mei to intervene.

Su Chen looked up.

Watching that giant maw descend like a black hole.

His face showed no trace of panic.

A deep, profound black light flared within his left eye.

The twenty-second-level soul power within his body boiled instantly.

One hundred percent dark attribute affinity was fully activated.

"First Soul Skill."

Su Chen spoke in a low voice.

He raised the God-Slaying Magic Spear in his hand.

The deep purple soul ring on the spear shaft erupted with a blinding radiance.

"Endless Dark Prison."

As Su Chen's voice fell.

An extreme darkness, impossible to describe in words, expanded violently from Su Chen as the center.

All light was instantly stripped from the space within a five-hundred-meter radius.

The remaining sunlight in the sky.

The golden light emitted by Yue Guan's soul skill.

Even the demonic flames burning on the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger.

All were forcibly extinguished in a single instant.

This darkness was not a simple visual obstruction.

It was an absolute, conceptual devouring.

The Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger's body, mid-pounce, ground to a halt in mid-air.

Within its pair of scarlet beastly pupils.

For the first time, extreme terror was revealed.

It discovered with horror.

That its pride and joy, the abyssal attribute, had been completely stripped of control within this dark domain.

The soul power within its body felt as if it had been frozen.

It could not circulate even the slightest bit.

Endless Dark Prison.

This was a growth-type god-level skill rewarded by the system.

As long as one was within this domain.

All energy with a lower dark attribute affinity than Su Chen's.

Would be unconditionally suppressed and devoured.

For the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger, which specialized in the dark attribute, this was nothing short of a dimensional strike.

Su Chen stood at the very center of the darkness.

He was the absolute master of this realm.

The God-Slaying Magic Spear in his hand pointed steadily at the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger suspended in the air.

"Kneel."

Su Chen's voice echoed through the darkness.

It carried the weight of an irresistible divine decree.

The dark energy within the Endless Dark Prison instantly transformed into countless thick black chains.

They wrapped directly around the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger's limbs and wings.

The demon tiger struggled desperately.

But those chains contained the attribute of ultimate destruction.

The more it struggled, the tighter the chains constricted.

They even dug deeply into its flesh.

Hiss, hiss.

Large, charred wounds were corroded into the demon tiger's tough scales.

The intense pain forced a shrill, mournful howl from its throat.

Its massive body could no longer maintain balance in mid-air.

It was dragged down to the ground by the chains with brute force.

It slammed heavily right in front of Su Chen.

Creating a massive crater upon impact.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei found themselves caught within the coverage of the Endless Dark Prison.

They were shocked to discover.

The circulation speed of the soul power within their bodies had dropped by a full thirty percent.

This was the soul power of peak level 95 Titled Douluo.

Yet, it was being suppressed by the First Soul Skill of a level 22 soul master.

"What kind of soul skill is this?"

Yue Guan's voice was trembling.

"Not only does it possess a large-scale domain effect, but it also carries powerful single-target suppression. It even affects our soul power. This completely defies the common logic of the soul master world."

Gui Mei stared fixedly at the figure of the youth holding a long spear in the darkness.

"This is the power of a god-level martial soul paired with a mutated soul ring. This is no longer an ordinary soul skill. This is a divine skill."

Su Chen ignored the shock of the two elders.

He felt the soul power within his body being consumed at a rapid pace.

Although the Endless Dark Prison was powerful.

Its consumption of soul power was equally terrifying.

With his current level 22 soul power reserves.

He could only maintain this domain for ten seconds at most.

Ten seconds was enough to decide life and death.

"Elder Ju. Elder Gui. What are you still standing there for?"

Su Chen issued his command in a cold voice.

"Strike while it's down. Kill it."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei snapped back to reality instantly.

The 50,000-year-old top-tier Evil Beast was now completely pinned to the ground, unable to move.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to land a kill.

The two of them no longer held anything back.

The ninth black soul ring beneath their feet lit up simultaneously.

This was the strongest strike belonging to a Titled Douluo.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Chrysanthemum Remains, Wounds All Over the Ground, Flowers Fall and Hearts Break."

Yue Guan roared.

A massive golden chrysanthemum exploded in mid-air.

Transforming into a sky-filling golden tornado.

Each petal was as thin as a cicada's wing.

Yet sharp to the extreme.

Carrying the terrifying might to tear through space.

It frantically shredded toward the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger in the crater.

"Ninth Soul Skill: Infinite Ghost Shadow Devour."

Gui Mei's body transformed into a massive black vortex.

Countless baring-fanged and claw-wielding evil ghosts rushed out from the vortex.

Charging straight toward the soul origin of the Demon Tiger to tear it apart.

Facing the finishing moves of two Titled Douluo.

The eyes of the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger were filled with despair.

It wanted to resist.

But the black chains of the Endless Dark Prison nailed it firmly in place.

The attribute of extreme destruction continued to ravage its defenses.

Boom.

Two ninth soul skills capable of destroying heaven and earth.

It struck the massive body of the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger with pinpoint accuracy.

Golden light and black mist intertwined and erupted in the center of the basin.

A massive mushroom cloud surged into the sky.

The violent shockwave snapped every tree within a kilometer radius at the waist.

The earth trembled violently.

It was as if the apocalypse had arrived.

The moment the shockwave erupted, Su Chen.

Proactively retracted the Endless Dark Prison.

The two Title Douluo immediately channeled a gentle stream of soul power.

Firmly shielding him behind them.

The dust and smoke gradually dissipated.

A terrifying crater, dozens of meters deep, appeared in the center of the basin.

The massive body of the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger lay at the bottom of the pit.

Already mangled and incomplete.

Black blood stained the surrounding soil.

It was thoroughly dead.

A black ten-thousand-year soul ring, deep to the extreme with edges shimmering in a faint red, rose slowly above its corpse.

"It's dead."

Yue Guan gasped for air.

Slaying a top-tier fifty-thousand-year Evil Beast.

Was no small drain even for him and Old Ghost.

"If it weren't for His Highness the Holy Son using his domain skill to lock down its movements and attributes, leaving it nowhere to run, the two of us would have had to fight it for at least a day and a night to kill it, and it might have even escaped."

Gui Mei said, still feeling the lingering fear.

The look in their eyes as they gazed at Su Chen.

Held a hint of genuine awe.

It was the awe reserved for the strong.

Not merely because of his status as the Holy Son.

Su Chen retracted the God-Slaying Magic Spear.

His complexion was slightly pale.

Using a god-level skill beyond his rank.

Had drained nearly eighty percent of the soul power in his body.

But he did not sit down to rest immediately.

His gaze passed over the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

And locked firmly onto the back of the Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger's corpse.

A cluster of unusual light was flickering there.

"Two Elders, flip that corpse over."

Su Chen issued the command.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately jumped into the deep pit.

The two of them worked together to overturn the broken tiger carcass.

A strange, dark red light instantly illuminated the bottom of the pit.

It was a pair of translucent, bony wings.

The wing bones were densely covered with natural Abyssal Demon Patterns.

Radiating pure fluctuations of darkness and wind attributes.

"This... this is an External Soul Bone."

Yue Guan exclaimed in shock.

His face, more delicate than a woman's, was filled with disbelief.

Soul bones were already the most precious treasures on the Douluo Continent.

And the value of an External Soul Bone.

Was even higher than that of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring.

It is a priceless treasure that can continuously evolve alongside the soul master's growing strength.

Gui Mei's breathing grew ragged.

Even for a Titled Douluo.

Facing an External Soul Bone dropped by a fifty-thousand-year Evil Beast.

It was impossible not to feel tempted.

Su Chen leaped directly into the deep pit.

He walked up to the pair of External Soul Bones.

A flash of joy crossed his eyes.

The system had not lied to him after all.

This was the hidden benefit of daring to challenge opponents above one's rank.

"Your Highness, the Holy Son. Your luck is truly peerless."

Yue Guan forcibly suppressed the greed in his heart.

He retreated respectfully to the side.

"This is the wing bone of an Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger. Not only will it grant you the ability to fly, but it also contains incredibly domineering wind, lightning, and shadow attributes. It is a perfect match for your second martial soul."

Su Chen did not hesitate.

He raised his right hand.

His soul power transformed into a beam of attraction.

It landed directly upon the External Soul Bone.

This bone was a tremendous asset to him as well.

"Guard me. I am going to absorb it right here."

Su Chen sat down cross-legged.

The External Soul Bone transformed into two streams of dark red light.

They pierced directly into his shoulder blades.

With a body reshaped by the Marrow Cleansing Pill and his previous experience absorbing a two-thousand-five-hundred-year mutated soul ring.

The process of fusing with the External Soul Bone this time went exceptionally smoothly.

In less than an hour.

Su Chen's tightly closed eyes snapped open.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of grinding bones.

A pair of Dark Red Dragon Wings, three meters wide, tore through his clothes and emerged from his back.

As the dragon wings stretched out.

The surrounding air was instantly sliced apart.

Emitting a sharp, whistling sound.

Su Chen moved his intent slightly.

His entire body shot upward.

Without any preparatory movements for a soul skill.

He hovered directly in mid-air.

The speed was so fast.

That even Yue Guan only saw a blurred afterimage.

"Very good."

Su Chen retracted his wings.

He landed back on the ground.

He felt that his current overall strength.

Could already completely crush most Soul Elders.

"Your Highness, the Holy Son. With the first soul ring and the External Soul Bone both obtained, this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest can be considered a complete success. Let us return to Martial Soul City immediately to report."

Yue Guan proposed.

The Pope was still waiting for their news.

Su Chen, however, shook his head.

He looked up toward the deeper reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"No rush to return."

Su Chen's tone was indifferent.

"My current soul power is at level twenty-two."

"I still need a second soul ring."
