Battle! Earth Dragon King's Remnant Soul! (1) (Seeking Collections, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

"Die!!!"

With a roar from Yu Tianshuo, the great battle officially began.

Yu Tianshuo's eyes widened, his entire body radiating a heart-stopping aura.

In an instant, he unleashed his Dragon Might Domain!

As his domain expanded, a powerful pressure swept outward like a surging tide, the very space seeming to distort in its wake.

This pressure not only intimidated his enemies but also bolstered Yu Tianshuo's own strength.

Immediately after, Yu Tianshuo roared again, the muscles on his dragon form bulging and veins popping as if his body had expanded several times over in a heartbeat.

This was his next skill.

"Dragon Emperor Tyrant Body!"

The Dragon Emperor Tyrant Body granted Yu Tianshuo a massive boost to both strength and defense; every claw strike and every stomp carried world-shattering power.

Yet, it didn't end there; Yu Tianshuo followed up by activating his second soul skill—"Ice and Fire Twin Dragon Transformation"!

In a flash, raging flames ignited around his body, simultaneously entwined with biting, frigid cold.

The two diametrically opposed powers of ice and fire fused perfectly within him, forming a terrifying force.

Finally, he unleashed his defensive skill.

"Nine Dragon Protection Seal"!

Three giant dragons soared from his body, circling him to form an impenetrable shield.

With three skills triggered in succession, Yu Tianshuo's power and speed were enhanced to an incredible degree.

His figure moved like lightning, vanishing from his original spot in an instant.

The next moment, Yu Tianshuo appeared like a phantom amidst the skeletal remains of the Earth Dragon King.

He rampaged through the bones, every strike causing massive destruction.

"Where are you!?"

Yu Tianshuo roared while shattering the bones.

"Show yourself if you have the guts!"

His voice echoed through the remains, causing the bones to hum and vibrate.

Yu Tianshuo destroyed everything in his sight, bone fragments flying in every direction.

However, just as he reached the chest cavity of the skeleton, a sudden change occurred!

Countless rocks seemed to be imbued with life, rapidly transforming into sharp stone spikes that rained down upon Yu Tianshuo.

At the same time, the dust kicked up by Yu Tianshuo's destruction seemed to be pulled by some force, rapidly congealing upon his dragon claws and connecting him to the earth.

This sudden imprisonment left Yu Tianshuo with nowhere to hide. His body was firmly locked in place, unable to move.

The stone spikes struck him like a violent storm, slamming into his body with brutal force.

Smoke filled the air and sand sprayed everywhere, as if the entire world were shrouded by the power of the Earth Dragon King.

Every stone and grain of sand was under the control of the Earth Dragon King, acting like living things as they transformed into the sharpest of weapons, relentlessly assaulting Yu Tianshuo.

"Tianshuo!"

Witnessing this scene, Dugu Bo's eyes nearly split open, his voice filled with despair and terror.

All eight of his soul rings erupted with dazzling light, a manifestation of his extreme rage.

Under the explosion of this fury, Dugu Bo finally broke free from the suppression of the Earth Dragon King's dragon might.

Without hesitation, he unleashed his "eighth soul skill, Time Solidification!"

The black soul ring bloomed with an incomparably brilliant light, shining through the space like lightning in the dead of night. The world seemed to freeze in that moment, everything slowing down and blurring into shades of black and white.

Yet, despite the astonishing power of Dugu Bo's eighth soul skill, he was, after all, only a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor who had just reached level 90 and possessed preliminary dragonization.

He was facing a dragon king from one of the world's most powerful races, even if that dragon king was nothing more than a lingering soul.

Dugu Bo's figure flashed like lightning, racing toward Yu Tianshuo at top speed.

"Crack—!"

Suddenly, a crisp, piercing sound like shattering glass rang in Dugu Bo's ears.

The entire black-and-white world shattered in that instant.

His eighth soul skill, that powerful technique which had once struck fear into countless enemies, had been crushed in a heartbeat!

This brief moment felt as long as eternity to Dugu Bo.

He watched helplessly as his disciple, Yu Tianshuo, fell into danger, unable to do a thing.

In that instant, time seemed to stop flowing; only the sound of shattering echoed in his ears, reminding him of the cruel reality.

A mouthful of blood sprayed from Dugu Bo's mouth, carrying a thick, metallic tang.

His body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with pain and resolve.

He did not stop his pace, instead gritting his teeth and using every ounce of his strength to squeeze his Soul Core.

The Soul Core was the current source of Dugu Bo's core power, and overexerting it would cause immense damage to his body.

But at this moment, Dugu Bo could no longer concern himself with such things; he had only one thought in his heart! Protect his disciple!

As Dugu Bo exerted his full force, cracks actually began to appear on the Soul Core, as if it were being forcibly torn apart by an invisible hand.

However, Dugu Bo had no time to worry about this, his entire focus concentrated on how to unleash even greater power.

Accompanied by the dust rising in the air and the blood constantly gushing from Dugu Bo's mouth, he let out a roar—this was the strongest eighth soul skill he had ever been able to unleash in his life.

"Time Solidification!!!"

With this roar, the entire space seemed to freeze in an instant.

Time seemed to stop flowing, and everything became unnaturally quiet. Yet, within this solidified time, Dugu Bo rushed out of the dust like a bolt of lightning, arriving at the side of Yu Tianshuo.

However, the scene before his eyes nearly caused him to collapse completely, almost plunging him into unconsciousness.

At this moment, Yu Tianshuo was covered in wounds and looked ghastly; those scales that had originally shone with golden light were now tattered and broken, as if ravaged by a violent gale.

His majestic wings were riddled with holes of all sizes, as if pierced by countless sharp arrows.

What was even more heartbreaking was that one of Yu Tianshuo's dragon eyes was bleeding, clearly having suffered a fatal attack that had blinded him.

Faced with such a tragic sight, Dugu Bo could no longer immerse himself in grief; he made a swift decision and, without hesitation, unleashed his Avatar of Martial Soul.

While time was stopped, he used the force of a thunderbolt to destroy the Stone Chains that trapped Yu Tianshuo.

Yet, just as he prepared to continue shattering the attacks frozen in the air, a crisp sound of shattering came once again.
