The Over-the-Top Ancient Void Dragon Martial Soul

"Roar!"

The Rock Dragon clearly sensed the intruders, and the powerful aura radiating from Yu Luomian in particular made it feel the threat of death.

It lashed its thick tail violently, sending a millstone-sized boulder whistling toward the two men.

"Hmph, you wretched beast!"

Yu Luomian let out a cold snort. Without even releasing his martial soul, he simply threw a punch.

A surge of powerful soul power erupted, shattering the incoming boulder into dust with a single blow.

Debris scattered in every direction, yet not a single fragment fell within a half-meter radius of the two men.

Yu Tianjiao could feel that it was his second uncle, Yu Luomian, using his soul power to intercept the shards.

It had to be said, this second uncle was truly quite good to him.

With Yu Luomian's strength, dealing with a five-thousand-year-old magical beast was a simple matter. Once his martial soul was activated, he didn't even need to use a soul skill; he simply beat the Rock Dragon until it was covered in wounds, its aura withered, and its movements significantly slowed.

The thick rocky scales on its body were mostly shattered, dark red blood flowed out, and the light on its single horn had dimmed.

"Tianjiao, do it!"

As Yu Luomian's voice fell, he sidestepped a desperate, dying tail-whip from the Rock Dragon and punched the rocky scales on top of its head, shattering them to reveal the softer, yet incredibly tough hide beneath.

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Yu Tianjiao's eyes. He quickly arrived before the Rock Dragon's head, activated his Ancient Void Dragon martial soul to amplify his own strength, and drew a silver-white dragon spear from his storage ring. With a sudden burst of power from both arms, he delivered a plain, unadorned thrust that pierced straight through the Rock Dragon's skull.

He then pivoted his waist, driving his arms to shake the silver-white dragon spear, effectively pulverizing and churning the beast's brains.

"Wooo--!!!"

The Rock Dragon let out a weak, mournful howl. Its massive body twitched violently, and the fierce light in its eyes rapidly faded.

All signs of life vanished.

The massive body collapsed to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

A purple soul ring slowly emerged from its corpse, carrying a heavy wave of energy.

Putting away his spear and looking at the purple soul ring hovering before him, a satisfied smile appeared on Yu Tianjiao's face.

Although the process was brief, personally delivering that critical blow allowed him to recapture a glimmer of the feeling he had when he possessed power in the past.

How wonderful it was!

"Second Uncle, I am going to begin."

Because Yu Luomian was by his side, Yu Tianjiao did not worry about his own safety. He simply greeted his uncle, who was standing guard, and sat down cross-legged.

"Rest assured, I am here."

Yu Luomian replied in a deep voice.

Yu Tianjiao opened his right hand, and as he channeled his soul power, an ancient and majestic dragon roar seemed to echo from the depths of his soul. The lifelike Ancient Void Dragon martial soul emerged, spiraling up from his palm to land on his shoulder.

Even though it was just a martial soul without any soul rings attached, the terrifying pressure originating from the source of its bloodline caused all the soul beasts within a three-hundred-meter radius to kneel on the ground.

Neither Yu Tianjiao nor Yu Luomian was surprised by this.

Yu Tianjiao controlled his soul power, guiding the purple soul ring toward his martial soul.

The moment the soul ring settled onto the dragon body of the Ancient Void Dragon, a mountain-like, heavy energy surged into Yu Tianjiao's body!

His body shook violently, and an earthy-yellow luster instantly appeared on the surface of his skin. The heavy energy felt as if it were going to crush his frame.

However, his physique was already formidable, and with a top-tier beast martial soul like the Ancient Void Dragon, absorbing this Rock Dragon soul ring was much easier for Yu Tianjiao compared to the agony of the exotic fire tempering his body when he obtained his first soul ring for the Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.

As for the lingering fierce will within the Rock Dragon's soul ring, it was like melting snow meeting the scorching sun in the face of the Ancient Void Dragon's status as the supreme being of the magical beast world; it was instantly dissolved and disintegrated.

The originally wild energy, under the intimidation of the Ancient Void Dragon martial soul, became like a tamed beast. Although it remained vast and heavy, it became much more docile and easier to absorb.

With the resistance of the soul beast's remnant will gone, the rest was merely a matter of absorbing the energy step by step.

The Ancient Void Dragon martial soul had already granted Yu Tianjiao a body far exceeding that of an ordinary person, and the physical enhancements gained from his previous soul ring absorptions did not disappear just because his soul power had regressed.

The vast energy contained within the five-thousand-year soul ring was partially absorbed by his flesh, causing his muscles and bones to emit a faint humming sound, as if undergoing tempering.

The other part was channeled into his meridians to increase his soul power.

Yu Luomian watched from the side, unable to help but click his tongue in wonder.

This Ancient Void Dragon martial soul was indeed worthy of being even more formidable than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon. The physical strengthening his little nephew had received from his previous soul ring absorptions was likely enough to make his physical body alone comparable to a soul beast of the same level.

Two and a half hours later, Yu Tianjiao completed the absorption of the soul ring and opened his eyes, a brilliant light shooting from his pupils.

Feeling the surging soul power within his body and his enhanced physical fitness, a satisfied smile appeared on Yu Tianjiao's face once again.

As expected, this soul ring absorption had raised his soul power by another two levels.

He was now at level fourteen.

As for the first soul skill of his Ancient Void Dragon martial soul...

Yu Tianjiao focused his mind, and the Ancient Void Dragon martial soul appeared. The purple first soul ring rhythmically pulsed around the dragon's shadow, emitting a heavy pressure.

"How is it? What is your first soul skill?"

Yu Luomian leaned in a little closer, asking with curiosity.

After sensing his power, Yu Tianjiao raised an eyebrow and replied:

"My first soul skill is Void Fist. It can condense soul power into a dragon of light, which comes with a target-locking property and exerts a suppression effect on all beast-type martial souls. Its power is equal to five times the soul power I consume when executing the skill."

To put it simply, it was just pure, overwhelming force.

Upon hearing this, Yu Luomian fell silent.

Generally speaking, the amplification provided by the soul ring skills of ordinary soul masters was around onefold.

This was a locking skill, it had five times the power, and he could even control the magnitude of that power based on how much soul power he consumed...

This Ancient Void Dragon martial soul was simply too overpowered!

"Very good."

After holding it in for a long time, Yu Luomian finally spat out those two words, but judging by his slightly sullen expression, it was clear he felt a bit helpless regarding Yu Tianjiao's martial soul.

Previously, when Yu Tianjiao was only absorbing century-level soul rings normally, the soul skills he obtained had never been this excessive.

Could it be that the disappearance of his soul power over these past three years was due to some kind of mutation in his martial soul?

Yu Luomian couldn't help but think this.

Being able to conceive of such a thing might be unlikely for an ordinary soul master, but for Yu Luomian, the second-in-command of a top-tier power with a long heritage like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, it was not a difficult task at all.

The reason he looked down on Yu Xiaogang was precisely because the little bit of knowledge in Yu Xiaogang's head was entirely obtained from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Martial Soul Hall.

To say that he had conducted any real research was truly laughable, as all the major powers had actually conducted similar research to some extent.

The so-called title of Grandmaster was nothing more than a useless, hollow reputation gained by leveraging his background and the power of women to access theories that ordinary commoner soul masters had no right to know.

After all, if he truly had talent, it was unlikely he would teach people to add soul rings with binding skills to Blue Silver Grass.

Especially when contrasted with a true genius like Yu Tianjiao, Yu Xiaogang's incompetence became even more apparent.
