After all, he couldn't let everyone else shoulder all the danger, then claim only a small share of the reward when they announced the results.
Before long, everyone had hidden themselves at their prearranged positions.
Yan was now standing alone in the middle of the empty canyon.
Fortunately, the Spirit Simulation Tian Meng had cast on him hadn't worn off yet. Otherwise, the Evil Eye Tyrant would have spotted him immediately.
Soon, the six of them exchanged glances.
Then a look of grim resolve appeared in Yan's eyes. He had no choice—he was the team's only Power Attack System Soul Master.
"First Soul Skill, Hell Magma Rush!"
In an instant, dark red lava covered Yan's entire body. He charged at the Ten Thousand Year Evil Eye Tyrant with unstoppable momentum.
The Evil Eye Tyrant spotted him almost immediately. Its enormous eye then unleashed a terrifying mass of spiritual tentacles that shot straight toward Yan.
"Heh, you think you can touch me? In your dreams!"
"Third Soul Skill, Hell Flame!"
Terrifying, high-temperature lava surged toward the Evil Eye Tyrant's body.
With the help of Spirit Detection, Yan could clearly see the countless spiritual tentacles stretching toward him.
"Hell Magma Rush!"
Yan charged forward instead of retreating. This was also one part of Ye Xuan's plan.
When the Evil Eye Tyrant sensed Yan's movement, it hesitated for half a second. It seemed unable to understand why this feeble human Soul Master was rushing over to throw his life away.
Just as its tentacles were about to grab Yan, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm attacked the Evil Eye Tyrant's body with a spiritual strike.
"Spirit Shock + Spirit Interference!"
A simple, no-frills combo, but perfectly suited to the Evil Eye Tyrant before them.
"Hell Flame!"
You didn't have to fear a berserker who kept his distance. What you had to fear was one who got in your face and unleashed everything he had. Yan was a perfect example.
At such close range, his Third Soul Skill caught the Evil Eye Tyrant completely off guard.
"Boom—!!"
The terrifying, high-temperature explosion threw its spiritual power into disarray.
The next moment, pale flames emerged from the smoke and clung to the Evil Eye Tyrant like maggots burrowing into bone.
"Third Soul Skill, Demon Fox Transformation!"
"First Soul Skill, Fox Fire Command!"
Hu Liena's Third Soul Skill could boost her spiritual power by 150%, her attack power by 150%, and her speed and strength by 200%.
Combined with her First Soul Skill, it could increase her attack power more than threefold.
It also carried the power to corrode the soul. As long as she had Soul Power to spare, the foxfire could burn without end.
"First Soul Skill, Moon Condensing Blade."
"Third Soul Skill, Full Moon Shock!"
Xie Yue's figure silently appeared at the Evil Eye Tyrant's side. His pair of Moon Blades glinted coldly in the moonlight.
Right after him, Xiao Wu and Ye Xuan—both transformed into Bright Moon Demon Rabbits—appeared above the Evil Eye Tyrant.
"Bright Moon Soul-Breaking Stomp!"
Everyone's attacks were about to strike the Evil Eye Tyrant.
But the instant those attacks landed and tore into its body, a sudden change occurred.
"Boom—!!!"
Sensing that its life was in danger, the Evil Eye Tyrant unleashed an extremely strange and powerful spiritual wave.
"Watch out! This is a rare special ability possessed by only a few members of the Evil Eye Tyrant clan—Spirit Blast!"
Seeing this, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm panicked.
Everyone except Tian Meng was within three meters of the Evil Eye Tyrant!
"Xiao Wu, protect Senior Sister and Xie Yue. I'll protect Yan!"
At Ye Xuan's call, Xiao Wu understood at once.
Ye Xuan used Instant Teleportation to appear in front of Yan.
In the next instant, a golden radiance that seemed to shut out everything flared around both of them.
"Invincible Golden Body!"
"Invincible Golden Body!"
The terrifying Spirit Blast battered everything within twenty meters of the Evil Eye Tyrant.
Hu Liena and the others only avoided being shaken into idiots thanks to Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu's Invincible Golden Body.
When the three seconds of invulnerability wore off, Ye Xuan, Xiao Wu, and the others were caught in the shockwave of the Spirit Blast.
Even though it was only the aftershock, it left their minds ringing.
"Damn, what on earth does this Evil Eye Tyrant eat? Even the aftershock has my head spinning. If we'd taken that blast head-on, it would've scrambled our brains."
Yan clutched his throbbing head. His Soul Power was almost depleted, and his face had gone pale.
"Tell me about it. Thank goodness Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu had Invincible Golden Body up their sleeves, or we'd have been wiped out."
Xie Yue's back was soaked with cold sweat.
But now he finally understood why Ye Xuan had said he could keep them all safe.
He hadn't expected Ye Xuan to have a trump card like Invincible Golden Body hidden away.
"Heh, you always have to keep something in reserve when you're out in the world. It was a close call, but we still managed to kill this Ten Thousand Year Evil Eye Tyrant."
Ye Xuan gently rubbed his aching head and looked toward the enormous eyeball nearby. It was covered in cracks, and a black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring had appeared above it.
But in the next instant, the gold-and-silver Pokeball that held Sky Dream Ice Silkworm broke free of Ye Xuan's control and shot straight toward the Ten Thousand Year Evil Eye Tyrant's corpse.
Meanwhile,
Seventh Worship, Falling Devil Douluo, had been standing frozen in place, at a loss.
Only when he saw Ye Xuan's Martial Soul fly out on its own did he finally react.
Under everyone's gaze, the Pokeball hovering above the Evil Eye Tyrant's corpse shot out two beams of silver light.
One beam connected to the Evil Eye Tyrant's corpse; the other linked directly to Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
No, that wasn't right!
The beam wasn't connected to the Evil Eye Tyrant. It was connected to a crystal-clear Ten Thousand Year Head Soul Bone!
Buzz—
The Pokeball began to vibrate, sending out wave after wave of humming.
As the sound filled everyone's minds, the pain in their heads began to ease.
At last, the Ten Thousand Year Evil Eye Tyrant's skull turned into an irregular, diamond-shaped gem and slowly sank into Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's forehead.
Seeing the gem his Martial Soul had transformed from a Soul Bone, Ye Xuan felt a flicker of excitement.
The others might not know what it was, but he did. This gem was a "Dawn Stone" from the world of Pokémon. Its effects were similar to the Moon Stone Xiao Wu had absorbed.
As the Dawn Stone completely fused with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, Ye Xuan received a power boost from him.
Pure energy surged through every part of his body.
Then a dazzling white light shone from around him, just as it did from Tian Meng.
"Bang—!"
