50,000-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Right Arm Bone! A Miserable Dugu Bo, Just Broke Through Level 90? (Seeking Collection)

These Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones, which he looked down upon, could be given to his women or his underlings.

They were absolutely top-tier resources for winning hearts and minds, and for rapidly increasing the combat power of his subordinates!

"However... five soul bones alone don't seem to be enough to go around."

Huang Yan rubbed his chin, his gaze piercing through the poisonous miasma of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to look toward the vast, boundless depths of the Sunset Forest.

This Sunset Forest was, after all, one of the largest habitats for soul beasts within the Heaven Dou Empire.

Although high-level soul beasts were not as numerous as those in the Star Dou Great Forest, there were certainly plenty of them.

If such vast resources were just left to sit there, wouldn't that be a waste of heaven's gifts?

More importantly, once he successfully possessed Ma Hongjun, he would become a human child with only twenty-something levels of soul power.

At that point, wanting to hunt high-level soul beasts to obtain soul bones would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

"While I haven't possessed him yet and still possess the absolute combat power of a Hundred Thousand Year Bright Phoenix, I must pull off something big!"

A flash of ruthless killing intent crossed Huang Yan's eyes.

The drop rate for soul bones was indeed extremely low; under normal circumstances, it was one in ten thousand.

But so what?

As long as the base number was high enough and he killed enough high-level soul beasts, he could brute-force his way into obtaining a few top-quality soul bones!

"High-level soul beasts of the Sunset Forest, consider yourselves unlucky. Just treat it as making a contribution to This Seat's future path to godhood!"

The moment his voice fell, a pair of enormous, brilliant golden wings suddenly unfurled behind Huang Yan.

Accompanied by a phoenix cry that pierced the clouds and shattered stone, he transformed into a dazzling golden meteor.

Carrying the terrifying pressure belonging to a top-tier Hundred Thousand Year divine beast.

He charged straight out of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, heading toward the core circle of the Sunset Forest to begin a massacre!

In the core area of the Sunset Forest, a one-sided slaughter was unfolding.

"Boom--!"

Brilliant golden holy fire descended from the sky, like divine punishment sent by the gods.

Huang Yan had transformed into his half-human, half-phoenix combat form.

Every flap of the wings on his back stirred up a terrifying heat wave capable of melting gold and iron.

Huang Yan felt no pity for these original inhabitants of the Sunset Forest.

Whether they were fierce beasts or venomous insects, as long as their cultivation reached the ten-thousand-year level.

Without asking any questions, he killed them on the spot!

The Ultimate Light deprived them of their vision, while the Ultimate Fire incinerated their bodies and souls!

Under the terrifying pressure of a top-tier Hundred Thousand Year divine beast.

These ten-thousand-year soul beasts, who usually acted like tyrants in the Sunset Forest, didn't even have room to resist; even escaping became a pipe dream.

"Bang!"

Accompanied by a five-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear crashing to the ground.

This was already the sixteenth high-level soul beast Huang Yan had killed.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears were incredibly rare.

Especially in the Sunset Forest.

Huang Yan had been somewhat surprised when he first saw it.

Huang Yan skillfully rummaged through the pile of charred remains.

Suddenly, a strange, dark golden glow lit up from the broken corpse of that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Good luck, it dropped a bone!"

Huang Yan's eyes lit up. With a wave of his hand, a right arm bone radiating a heavy metallic luster flew into his grasp.

Feeling the violent power contained within, Huang Yan nodded with satisfaction:

"A fifty-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear right arm bone—the best of the best.

If this thing were taken outside, those assault-type soul masters would beat each other's brains out for it.

Collected!"

Tossing the soul bone casually into his storage Soul Tool.

Huang Yan did not stop; his gaze locked onto the next territory of high-level soul beasts, preparing to continue his "gear farming" grand undertaking.

However, the heaven-shaking commotion caused by Huang Yan's unscrupulous massacre had already alerted an "acquaintance" who had just stepped into the Sunset Forest.

At the boundary between the outer and middle rings of the Sunset Forest.

A tall, thin, green-haired old man, straight as a javelin, suddenly came to a halt.

The old man's face was withered and gaunt, his eye sockets deeply sunken, and his emerald eyes—resembling those of a venomous snake—were currently filled with sheer terror.

Most striking of all was the blackness darkening his forehead.

A thick, impenetrable aura of dark green death lingered between his brows, as if he were on the verge of dying from poison at any moment.

This man was none other than Dugu Bo!

However, the current Dugu Bo was ten times more wretched than the high-spirited Poison Douluo depicted in the original story.

In this world.

Because the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had been occupied by Huang Yan a thousand years ago.

Dugu Bo never had the chance to discover that treasure trove.

Without the suppression of the extreme cold and extreme heat springs within the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

The Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison within Dugu Bo's body had become a death warrant!

For years, he had suffered the agony of ten thousand poisons gnawing at his heart day and night, a life worse than death.

To suppress the toxins, he had been forced to divert the vast majority of his soul power to resist them.

This caused his cultivation speed to crawl like a tortoise, making every step forward an arduous struggle.

He had barely managed to endure until today, finally breaking through the shackles of level 89 to reach level 90!

This time, he had dragged his dying, poison-ravaged body to the Sunset Forest.

His goal was to find a suitable high-level snake-type soul beast to hunt, obtain his ninth soul ring, and officially break through to become a Title Douluo.

He had pinned all his hopes on this ninth soul ring.

He intended to use the baptism of heaven and earth energy during his breakthrough to Title Douluo to forcibly suppress the toxins within his body.

However, he had only just entered the Sunset Forest when a violent commotion, like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting, erupted from the direction of the core area.

"Such terrifying fire and light attribute fluctuations... This pressure, could it be... a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!"

Dugu Bo stared fixedly at the golden flames soaring into the sky from the core area.

Feeling the suffocating pressure of a divine beast in the air, his withered hands could not help but tremble slightly.

"How is this possible!

How could a terrifying existence of the hundred-thousand-year level be born in a place like the Sunset Forest?!"

A storm of shock surged in Dugu Bo's heart.

He knew the Sunset Forest well; although it was home to many soul beasts, the strongest overlords there had at most seventy or eighty thousand years of cultivation.

It was absolutely impossible for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast to reside here.

"And, listening to these continuous screams, this hundred-thousand-year soul beast seems to be... unilaterally slaughtering the high-level soul beasts in the core area?"

Dugu Bo swallowed hard, his face turning from green to white.

Reason told him that turning around and running away immediately was the wisest choice.

A rampaging hundred-thousand-year soul beast—let alone him, who was currently only a quasi-Title Douluo.

Even if he had already obtained his ninth soul ring, encountering such a beast would mean certain death!

However, a greed for the corpses of high-level soul beasts and the potential existence of soul bones.

Combined with a curiosity to uncover the truth, scratched at his heart like a cat's claws.

"Fortune favors the bold... My broken body won't last a few more years anyway. If it really is two super soul beasts fighting for territory, I might be able to pick up the scraps.

Even if I only find the corpse of a snake-type soul beast over fifty thousand years old, my ninth soul ring will be secured!"

Thinking of his terminal illness that made life worse than death, Dugu Bo gritted his teeth, a flash of desperate ruthlessness appearing in his eyes.

He immediately concealed his entire aura, not even daring to release his martial soul.

Using the surrounding dense poisonous miasma as cover, he crept cautiously toward the source of the commotion like a ghost.
