30,000 Years of the Thunder Dragon's Rampage, the Sacred Sword Subdues the Sacred Beast

Violent thunder-attribute fluctuations erupted suddenly from the bottom of the lake.

The previously calm golden lake seemed as if it had been brought to a boil.

Massive sprays of golden water surged into the sky.

They transformed into a torrential downpour, cascading in all directions.

The surface of the water churned violently.

A massive whirlpool rapidly took shape in the center of the lake.

Accompanied by a piercing roar.

A colossal creature broke through the water from within the whirlpool.

It was over thirty meters in length.

Its entire body was covered in ink-green scales the size of water vats.

Its head resembled a dragon, yet was not quite one.

It possessed a gaping maw filled with interlocking fangs.

Blue electric arcs as thick as wrists coiled around its sturdy body.

This was a Bloodthirsty Thunder Dragon-Python.

Its cultivation was at least thirty thousand years.

It was the true subterranean overlord of this Crystal Forest.

It had been lurking in the depths of the lake all along.

Waiting for the moment the Holy Radiant Unicorn let down its guard.

Devouring this holy beast, which possessed the bloodline of the Light Dragon clan, would be enough to cause its own bloodline to undergo a qualitative leap.

It might even allow it to transform directly from a python into a dragon.

The Bloodthirsty Thunder Dragon-Python lunged directly toward the Holy Radiant Unicorn on Lake Heart Island, bringing with it a nauseating, fishy stench.

The Holy Radiant Unicorn was startled awake in an instant.

It stood up abruptly.

The two pairs of snow-white wings on its back fully unfurled.

It let out a crisp, high-pitched neigh.

The golden horn on its forehead erupted with blinding light.

A bolt of holy lightning as thick as a barrel shot out from the horn.

It struck fiercely toward the lunging Bloodthirsty Thunder Dragon-Python.

BOOM.

The golden lightning and the blue electric arcs collided violently in mid-air.

They exploded into a dazzling ball of light.

The intense shockwave blasted a massive vacuum zone into the lake water.

Although the Holy Radiant Unicorn possessed a noble bloodline.

It only had six thousand three hundred years of cultivation, after all.

In the face of thirty thousand years of absolute power.

The slight suppression of attributes could not bridge the chasm in cultivation.

The ball of light was instantly shattered by the massive body of the Bloodthirsty Thunder Dragon-Python.

The Bloodthirsty Thunder Dragon-Python lashed out with its thick tail.

Carrying a wind with the force of a landslide, it slammed heavily into the unicorn's body.

BANG.

The unicorn let out a pained cry.

Its snow-white body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

It crashed heavily against the hard white rocks of Lake Heart Island.

The rocks shattered.

A few snow-white feathers drifted through the air.

A trace of golden blood spilled from the corner of the unicorn's mouth.

It struggled, attempting to stand up.

But the Raging Thunder Dragon gave it no chance to catch its breath.

Its massive body coiled in a half-circle through the air.

It opened its blood-stained maw wide.

And clamped down viciously toward the Unicorn's neck.

Just at this critical, hair-trigger moment.

A cold voice rang out from the edge of the Crystal Forest.

"You dare touch... my spirit ring?"

Su Chen stood on the shore.

A flash of chilling murderous intent flickered in his eyes.

He would absolutely not allow this beast to ruin the top-tier spirit ring he had set his sights on.

"Kill."

Su Chen issued the death warrant.

Before the words had even faded.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei had already vanished from their spots simultaneously.

Two peak level 95 Titled Douluo.

Facing a thirty-thousand-year spirit beast.

They had no need for any probing.

Yue Guan appeared directly above the head of the Raging Thunder Dragon.

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

"Avatar of the Martial Soul."

An incomparably massive Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum bloomed in mid-air.

Its golden radiance instantly overwhelmed the lightning crackling across the Raging Thunder Dragon's body.

Yue Guan raised his right leg high.

Carrying the peerless pressure of a Titled Douluo.

He stomped heavily onto the Raging Thunder Dragon's skull.

Crack.

The Raging Thunder Dragon's hardened skull emitted a crisp sound.

Its massive body was forced out of the air by this immense power and slammed into the ground.

It crashed violently against the edge of the Lake Heart Island.

The massive impact caused the entire lake to tremble.

The Raging Thunder Dragon let out a roar filled with shock and fury.

It twisted its body frantically.

Attempting to break free from Yue Guan's suppression.

The blue arcs of electricity on its body surged tenfold in an instant.

Transforming into a violent pool of lightning.

It tried to char the human above its head into ash.

Just as the lightning pool was about to erupt.

A black ghost shadow emerged without warning from the shadow beneath the Raging Thunder Dragon's belly.

Gui Mei's hands transformed into two pitch-black blades.

He thrust them without mercy into the gaps between the scales on the Raging Thunder Dragon's softest underbelly.

"Infinite Ghost Shadow Strangling."

Gui Mei let out a cold shout.

Hundreds of black vengeful spirits surged madly into the Raging Thunder Dragon's body through the wounds.

They tore frantically at its internal organs and meridians.

The Raging Thunder Dragon let out a scream of extreme misery.

The lightning pool gathered on its surface instantly collapsed.

Under the joint assault of two peak Titled Douluo, the thirty-thousand-year spirit beast.

Could not even last a single full round.

But the vitality of a thirty-thousand-year spirit beast was incredibly tenacious.

Under the threat of death.

The Raging Thunder Dragon had fallen into a state of total madness.

It ignored the agonizing pain of its body being torn apart.

It directly detonated the thunder-attribute origin within its core.

A layer of blood-red light emerged across the surface of its body.

Countless bolts of wild lightning, each as thick as a water barrel, centered themselves upon it.

They bombarded everything in every direction indiscriminately.

This was its final act of mutual destruction before death.

Among them, a dozen of the most violent thunderbolts.

Locked directly onto Su Chen, who stood on the bank.

"Watch out, Holy Son!"

Yue Guan was greatly alarmed.

He was just about to pull back to defend.

But he saw that Su Chen did not make a single move to retreat.

A cold sneer curled the corners of Su Chen's lips.

With a slight movement of his will.

The pair of dark red dragon wings, spanning three meters wide behind his back, instantly unfurled.

The power of the fifty-thousand-year External Soul Bone erupted fully.

Upon the dragon wings.

The Abyssal Demon Patterns flickered frantically.

A formidable surge of wind, thunder, and shadow attributes welled up.

Su Chen slammed his wings forward.

Wrapping his body completely within them.

BOOM.

A dozen violent thunderbolts struck the dark red dragon wings with immense force.

The explosion that was expected did not occur.

The moment those violent thunder energies made contact with the dragon wings.

It was as if they were water being absorbed by a sponge.

They rapidly merged into the Abyssal Demon Patterns.

The fifty-thousand-year Abyssal Winged Demon Tiger.

Already possessed domineering wind and thunder attributes.

This External Soul Bone held absolute immunity and devouring capabilities against attacks of the same attribute with a lower age than itself.

The thunder energy flowed through the dragon wings and into Su Chen's body.

It was instantly crushed by the black and white vortex of the Chaos God-Demon Art.

Transforming into pure nourishment.

It fed back into Su Chen's physical body.

Su Chen spread his wings once more.

There was not a single trace of scorching on his entire body.

Not even his breathing was the slightest bit disordered.

Seeing this scene, Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

Were struck with shock beyond measure.

A level twenty-two Spirit Master.

Had blocked the final desperate counterattack of a thirty-thousand-year spirit beast using only an External Soul Bone.

This completely shattered the common logic of the spirit master world.

"Don't waste time. Slaughter it."

Su Chen's voice was exceptionally clear amidst the thunder.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei no longer held back.

Yue Guan condensed a giant sword made of golden petals in his hand.

He directly severed the neck bone of the Raging Thunder Dragon.

Gui Mei, meanwhile, reached out with a claw.

He crushed the heart of the Raging Thunder Dragon directly.

The massive dragon body collapsed heavily onto the rocks.

It had completely lost all signs of life.

A deep black ten-thousand-year spirit ring rose slowly from its corpse.

Su Chen did not even glance at that ten-thousand-year spirit ring.

The dark red dragon wings behind his back vibrated slightly.

His entire figure transformed into a streak of light.

He crossed the surface of the lake with ease.

He landed steadily upon the white rocks of Lake Heart Island.

His gaze locked directly onto the Holy Radiant Unicorn lying in a pool of blood.

The unicorn was severely wounded.

Its snow-white fur was stained with blood.

There was a deep, bone-baring laceration across its abdomen.

That was the fatal blow left by the Raging Thunder Dragon.

Had it not been for the powerful self-healing capabilities of its light attribute, any ordinary spirit beast would have already perished.

Seeing Su Chen approach, the unicorn's eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility.

It knew that this human before it was in league with the two terrifying powerhouses from moments ago.

Spirit beasts and humans were born mortal enemies.

The unicorn struggled to lift its proud head.

The golden horn on its forehead lit up once more with faint electric arcs.

The aura emanating from its body became extremely unstable.

A volatile energy was being compressed frantically within its body.

"Your Highness Holy Son, step back."

Yue Guan flashed to Su Chen's side.

"This beast knows it cannot survive; it intends to self-destruct its spirit ring."

The self-destruction of a six-thousand-three-hundred-year spirit beast was no less powerful than a full-force strike from a Spirit King.

Su Chen did not retreat a single step.

He looked at this unyielding holy beast of light.

A trace of admiration flashed through his eyes.

Only such a proud, top-tier bloodline was worthy of becoming the spirit ring for his Judgment Holy Sword.

"Wanting to die? It isn't that easy."

Su Chen slowly raised his right hand.

The portion of spirit power within his dantian belonging to light boiled instantly.

Brilliant golden light erupted from his palm.

He gripped the Judgment Holy Sword firmly in his hand.

The dual attributes of Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire bloomed simultaneously.

A pure, holy aura, countless times more potent than that of the Holy Radiant Unicorn, descended upon Lake Heart Island like the majesty of the heavens.

Under the radiance of this aura, the surrounding golden lake water became even more crystalline and transparent.

Holding the holy sword, Su Chen looked like a god of light descended into the mortal realm.

His entire being radiated an inviolable majesty.

The Holy Radiant Unicorn froze instantly.

The self-destruct energy compressing within its body came to an abrupt halt.

It widened those golden eyes.

It looked at the sword in Su Chen's hand in disbelief.

As a top-tier holy beast possessing the bloodline of the Ancient Light Dragon Clan.

Its perception of the light attribute was keen.

From this sword.

It sensed the most primordial, most supreme law of light.

That was the aura of a superior being that all light-type creatures were compelled to worship.

This aura transcended the boundaries of race and cultivation.

It struck directly into the depths of its soul.

The hostility and madness in the Unicorn's eyes gradually dissipated.

Replacing them was a submission originating from the depths of its bloodline.

It ceased its resistance.

Slowly, it folded its two pairs of wings.

It pressed its high-held head heavily against the white rock.

It expressed its most absolute submission to Su Chen.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei watched from the side, dumbfounded.

A soul beast voluntarily submitting to a human.

This was simply unheard of in the history of the Douluo Continent.

Even a Peerless Douluo.

Could only kill one through force.

It was absolutely impossible to make a soul beast willingly lower its head.

"The suppression of an ultimate attribute. To think it is terrifying to this extent."

Yue Guan muttered to himself.

Su Chen held the Judgment Holy Sword upside down.

He walked step by step toward the Unicorn.

He extended his left hand.

He gently stroked the Unicorn's golden horn, which was covered in lightning patterns.

"Since you have submitted."

"Then become my power."

Su Chen's voice was calm.

Yet it lacked the slightest bit of pity.

The Judgment Holy Sword in his hand transformed into a bolt of golden lightning.

It pierced with absolute precision into the center of the Unicorn's brow.

It did not encounter any resistance.

The Unicorn's body twitched slightly.

Then, it closed its eyes completely.

There was not a trace of pain on its face.

Instead, it wore an expression of relief and pilgrimage-like peace.

Specks of golden light rose from above its corpse.

Finally, they condensed into a deep yellow soul ring, its color so intense that its surface faintly shimmered with a hint of purple.

A 6,300-year top-tier soul ring.

It radiated pure fluctuations of light and thunder.

Su Chen put away the Judgment Holy Sword.

He sat cross-legged directly beside the Unicorn's corpse.

He prepared to begin this earth-shattering, cross-rank absorption.

"Two Elders, guard me."

Su Chen issued a brief command.

He closed his eyes.

He operated the Chaos God-Demon Art at full power.

His right hand guided the soul power.

The deep yellow thousand-year soul ring transformed into a streak of light.

It settled directly onto his body.

BOOM.

An energy ten times more violent than that of the Dark Nightmare Demon Tiger.

Instantly surged into the meridians of Su Chen.

The origin power contained within a 6,300-year soul beast.

Was enough to burst a Soul Grand Master in an instant.

Su Chen's body shuddered violently.

A fine layer of blood beads instantly seeped out from the surface of his skin.

The bones within his body emitted an unbearable creaking sound.

The hearts of Yue Guan and Gui Mei instantly jumped into their throats.

They stared at Su Chen's condition with total concentration.

Ready at any moment to forcibly sever the connection to the soul ring.

But Su Chen's brows merely furrowed for a moment.

The perfect body forged by the Marrow Cleansing Pill once again displayed terrifying resilience.

Although his meridians were stretched to their limit.

They were like tough dragon tendons.

Locking that violent energy down tight.

The black and white vortex of the Chaos God-Demon Art spun frantically.

Rapidly breaking down and absorbing the surging energy.

The very next second after his physical body withstood the impact.

The remnant soul of the Unicorn transformed into a miniature golden light.

And charged directly into Su Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

However, this remnant soul held not a shred of resentment or killing intent.

Upon coming into contact with the spiritual power radiated by the Million-Year Head Soul Bone.

It actually dissipated voluntarily into the purest form of spiritual nourishment.

Merging into the consciousness of Su Chen.

This was the greatest benefit brought about by the subjugation of the Holy Sword.

Without any soul shock.

The absorption process became exceptionally smooth.

Two hours later.

Su Chen's tightly shut eyes snapped open.

A brilliant golden light erupted from his right eye.

A thousand-year soul ring, so purple it appeared black.

Hovered steadily beneath his feet.

"Ding."

"Congratulations to the host for successfully absorbing a 6,300-year soul ring beyond your rank."

"God-level choice mission completed."
