98,000 Years Medusa Empress! Qian Yu: How About Creating a 100,000-Year Soul Beast?

Qian Yu interrupted him, his tone calm:

"Leave the fodder to me and Dong'er. You just focus on pinning down that leader. An eighty-thousand-year soul beast is no small matter; fight without restraint, and at the critical moment, I will step in to suppress its petrification talent."

Hearing Qian Yu's promise, Dugu Bo felt his heart settle, and a fanatical fighting spirit ignited in his eyes:

"Many thanks, Master! This old man departs!"

Before the words had even faded, Dugu Bo leaped, transforming into the phantom of a colossal Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, and charged straight into the depths of the poisonous miasma.

Soon, deafening roars and the miserable hissing of ten thousand snakes erupted from the valley floor.

Bibi Dong stood beside Qian Yu, looking down, and asked softly:

"Brother Yu, an eighty-thousand-year Medusa—is it not a bit of a stretch for Senior Dugu to handle it alone?"

Qian Yu smiled and replied casually:

"The toxins within his body have just been purified. Although his soul power has reached level ninety, he hasn't fully adapted to this new strength yet. Letting him suffer a bit and forcing out his potential will be beneficial for him when he condenses his Soul Core later."

Bibi Dong nodded thoughtfully:

"So Brother Yu intends to use this Medusa to temper him."

"BOOM--!"

Just as they were speaking, a thick green pillar of light pierced through the poisonous miasma.

Dugu Bo shot into the sky.

And right behind him followed a terrifying giant snake over thirty meters in length!

The giant snake's hair was a wild dance of venomous vipers, its vertical pupils locked onto Dugu Bo as it let out a hair-raising shriek.

At the edge of the valley, a dense swarm of venomous snakes surged out like a tide.

Dugu Bo shouted loudly:

"Master, the beast has emerged!"

Qian Yu lifted his head slightly, watching the eighty-thousand-year Medusa radiating terrifying pressure, a cold smirk curling his lips:

"Dong'er, prepare to clear out the surrounding snakes; consider it practice for your new soul skills."

A flash of excitement crossed Bibi Dong's eyes:

"Leave it to me, Brother Yu!"

Qian Yu nodded slightly, his gaze shifting to the Medusa in mid-air as he said indifferently:

"Dugu Bo, don't give it a chance to unleash its petrification beam; strike at its seven-inch mark!"

Qian Yu was just about to strike to suppress the eighty-thousand-year Medusa.

Suddenly, his brow furrowed, and his gaze swept sharply toward a hidden cave deep within the valley.

"Brother Yu, what is it?"

Bibi Dong asked as she used spider webs to clear away the snakes surging toward them.

Qian Yu narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice:

"There is an even stronger soul beast aura hidden in that cave. Judging by the intensity of the fluctuations, its age is at least ninety thousand years or more!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo gasped:

"Ninety thousand years or more?! This old man has stayed in this Sunset Forest for so long, yet I never noticed!"

Qian Yu wasted no time; six brilliant golden wings unfurled from his back, Martial Soul Possession!

Golden light condensed in his hand, forming a Seraphim Sword burning with holy flames.

"Noisy."

Qian Yu snorted coldly and swung his sword casually.

The brilliant golden sword light sliced through the eighty-thousand-year Medusa's defenses as if cutting through tofu.

It smashed the beast heavily into the ground, blood spraying wildly as it instantly lay on the verge of death.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo was overjoyed and hurriedly prepared to step forward:

"Many thanks, Master! This old man will kill it now to absorb the soul ring!"

"Wait."

Qian Yu raised a hand to stop Dugu Bo, his gaze remaining fixed on the deep cave ahead.

"Don't be in such a rush to kill it.

The real master hasn't come out yet."

With that, Qian Yu backhanded another, even more dazzling golden sword beam, blasting it straight toward the hidden cave.

"BOOM--!"

The cave collapsed in an instant.

Immediately following, a hiss far sharper and more oppressive than the previous one echoed throughout the entire valley.

A terrifying giant snake, its body a full circle larger than the eighty-thousand-year Medusa and covered in dark golden scales, soared into the sky.

The surrounding poisonous miasma churned violently at its appearance.

A flash of surprise crossed Qian Yu's eyes, followed by a light chuckle:

"So that's how it is. It's actually a ninety-eight-thousand-year Medusa Empress.

No wonder that eighty-thousand-year one was only fit to guard the door."

"Ninety-eight thousand years!"

Dugu Bo's eyes widened, his voice trembling with extreme agitation.

Before the Medusa Empress could unleash its power, Qian Yu's figure flickered, appearing instantly above its head.

The Seraphim Sword erupted with blinding holy light, descending with peerless momentum!

"BANG--!"

In a single exchange.

The Medusa Empress let out a shrill, miserable shriek as its body plummeted, slamming heavily to the ground at Dugu Bo's feet.

Its bones were shattered throughout, its breath shallow and fading, having completely lost the ability to resist.

Qian Yu sheathed the Seraphim Sword and descended slowly, looking at Dugu Bo indifferently:

"Forget about that eighty-thousand-year one.

Absorb this ninety-eight-thousand-year Medusa Empress as your ninth soul ring."

Dugu Bo looked at the dying Medusa Empress at his feet, so excited he was incoherent, and knelt directly on the ground:

"Ninety-eight thousand years... Master!

This is a ninety-eight-thousand-year soul ring!

The ninth soul rings of the vast majority of Title Douluo on this continent don't even reach half its age!

For this great favor, this old man would die ten thousand deaths to repay you!"

Qian Yu waved his hand, speaking calmly:

"Enough, stop the chatter.

While it hasn't breathed its last yet, hurry up and absorb it. Dong'er and I will stand guard for you."

Dugu Bo took a deep breath, forcing down the wild joy in his heart.

He condensed a blade of highly toxic soul power in his hand, preparing to strike at the Medusa Empress's vitals:

"Yes! This old man will send it on its way!"

"Wait."

Just as the blade was about to fall, Qian Yu suddenly spoke, stopping Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo paused, turning his head in confusion:

"Master, what is it?"

Qian Yu did not answer immediately, instead looking down at the dying Medusa Empress at his feet, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes:

"Ninety-eight thousand years is indeed top-tier.

But it is still two thousand years shy of the ten-thousand-year mark."

Bibi Dong walked to Qian Yu's side, asking curiously:

"Brother Yu, what do you mean?"

The corners of Qian Yu's mouth curled upward slightly as he voiced an incredibly bold idea:

"I am thinking, since its age is already so close to the ten-thousand-year threshold.

Could we perhaps artificially create a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

"Artificially create a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?!"

Dugu Bo and Bibi Dong exclaimed in unison.

Qian Yu nodded, his tone resolute:

"Exactly."

Given the current cultivation foundation of this Medusa Empress, it only needs to be fed one or two stalks of Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma.

Relying on the medicinal power of the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, it will absolutely be able to forcibly help it cross that threshold and break through to the Hundred-Thousand-Year level!

Speaking up to this point, Qian Yu looked at Dugu Bo and chuckled softly:

"By then, what you absorb will not be some ninety-thousand-year soul ring, but a true Hundred-Thousand-Year red soul ring!

Furthermore, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is guaranteed to drop a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone!"

Upon hearing the words "Hundred-Thousand-Year red soul ring" and "guaranteed to drop a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone."

Dugu Bo felt a wave of dizziness wash over his brain, and his breathing even came to a standstill.
