The Great Battle! The Earth Dragon King's Remnant Soul! (Part 4) (Please Favorite and Follow)

This had happened very suddenly, and it should never have happened at all.

The Earth Dragon King still couldn't figure out why, so he could only use his massive body to crash straight into Yu Tianshuo.

The instant they made contact, Yu Tianshuo turned his claws into fists and unleashed a barrage of Chaotic Dragon Fist! against the Earth Dragon King's body.

In an instant, cracks appeared wherever Yu Tianshuo had struck.

Yu Tianshuo was incredibly fast. In the blink of an eye, the Earth Dragon King's head had been smashed into a heap of bone and stone fragments.

The Earth Dragon King reacted quickly, stopping his pointless charge and flashing backward.

He wanted to escape Yu Tianshuo's clutches.

But could things really be as simple as he imagined?

When Yu Tianshuo saw the Earth Dragon King trying to retreat, he instantly closed in.

He unleashed another barrage of Chaotic Dragon Fist! against the dragon head that was beginning to recover.

The Earth Dragon King realized he couldn't escape. With no other choice, he flew into the air.

Chains emerged from his regenerating body, attempting to ensnare Yu Tianshuo.

But they were useless. The sand and soil turned to ash the instant they came close.

This time, though, the Earth Dragon King spotted something. He realized that the earth elements under his control were first frozen by Ultimate Ice, then scorched by Ultimate Fire the moment they drew near.

It had happened so quickly that it only looked as though they had turned to dust in an instant.

Now that he knew the principle behind it, he could find a way to counter it.

This time, the Earth Dragon King wielded his source power, as well as Ultimate Earth.

The chains he formed didn't turn to ash as they had before. Instead, they clamped directly around Yu Tianshuo's hands and feet.

But this time, Yu Tianshuo wasn't stabbed in the back by the presence in his mind. He simply unleashed Ultimate Force and snapped the chain around one hand.

Then he used the broken chain to smash the one around his other hand.

Just as he was about to keep breaking free, he realized something was wrong.

The wind blowing against him was growing stronger and stronger!

Only then did he notice the Earth Dragon King's body plummeting rapidly.

Along the way, the Earth Dragon King also beat his wings, accelerating his descent even further.

Now Yu Tianshuo understood the Earth Dragon King's sinister plan.

He had no time to break free of the chains around his feet. All Yu Tianshuo could do was punch a hole into the Earth Dragon King's body.

He forced his upper body into the opening and rapidly struck at the walls around him.

BOOM——!

The Earth Dragon King's enormous body crashed into the ground.

Cracks split the earth, and dust shrouded the air.

The tremendous impact even sent Dugu Yuan, who had fled a hundred miles away, tumbling into the air.

But he still didn't look back. Weeping, he clutched his father's body and kept running.

Just then, a feeble voice reached Dugu Yuan's ears.

"What... happened to me?"

At the sound of that voice, Dugu Yuan's tears poured out even more uncontrollably.

He would never forget that voice, not even in death. It was his father's voice!

That's right!

One of the Firm Investment Device's abilities: resurrection!

As long as someone hadn't been dead for too long, they could be brought back to life.

Dugu Bo, newly resurrected, had no idea what had happened.

His last memory was of a gentle woman and his disciple.

Had he said something to Yu Tianshuo?

What was it?

Before Dugu Bo could think any further, the aftershock from the main battlefield swept over them again.

Dugu Bo felt that terrifying power once more, and everything came flooding back to him!

"Tian Shuo——!"

He remembered everything!

His own death, his disciple's unconsciousness, and telling his disciple to flee!

He remembered it all!

He tore himself free of Dugu Yuan's grasp and flashed toward the battlefield.

He didn't know why he had come back to life.

But Yu Tianshuo surely had something to do with it.

Since Dugu Yuan had been the only one carrying him away just now, he could easily guess who was fighting the Earth Dragon King now.

Tian Shuo, you have to hold on until I get there!

That was what Dugu Bo thought as he raced toward the battlefield.

Back on the battlefield.

Thanks to Yu Tianshuo's efforts, he had paid only the price of his legs to successfully weather the Earth Dragon King's attack.

With his fists, he had punched straight through the Earth Dragon King's body.

From head to tail, he'd blown it all apart!

"Huff... huff..."

Yu Tianshuo was panting like an ox, but his eyes remained fixed on his surroundings, alert to the slightest disturbance.

Whoosh——!

The sand turned into stone spikes again, attacking Yu Tianshuo from every direction.

This time, the attack worked. The spikes didn't turn to ash as before; Yu Tianshuo could only smash them into powder with his fists.

But they formed too quickly, and attacks came from all sides.

Yu Tianshuo was wounded.

First his back, then his waist and abdomen, then his neck—all of them were cut open.

Yet Yu Tianshuo showed neither anger nor panic. He merely smiled.

That smile made the hidden Earth Dragon King's eyes narrow!

He wanted to flee first, but it was no use. All he heard was Yu Tianshuo's mocking voice.

"Found... you...!"

In an instant, the Earth Dragon King was frozen again. This time, though, he couldn't break free as easily as before.

All he could do was watch Yu Tianshuo walk toward him, one step at a time.

The Earth Dragon King went mad. His voice rang with fury and despair as he shrieked at Yu Tianshuo.

"How is this possible?! How did you find me?!"

He had absolute confidence in his ability to hide. Unless he deliberately revealed himself, there was no way a mere human could find him.

Yu Tianshuo smiled like a victor and held out his hand. A faint mist drifted above his palm.

Under Yu Tianshuo's control, the mist that had been concealed in the air appeared as well.

The moment he saw the mist, the Earth Dragon King understood.

He sighed and lowered his once-proud head, explaining the principle behind Yu Tianshuo's move in dejected tones.

"I see. You used the dust kicked up when I hit the ground to conceal the mist and secretly track my position. Once you'd pinpointed me, you pretended you couldn't withstand my attacks, distracting me. Then, when I used Ultimate Earth, you found my location."

The Earth Dragon King's eyes dimmed further. He sighed, lowering his head until it touched the ice, and admitted defeat.

"I lost."

Seeing that the Earth Dragon King's soul was beginning to grow unstable, Yu Tianshuo didn't hesitate. His head transformed into a dragon's once more, and he swallowed the Ice Prison containing the Earth Dragon King.

He sat cross-legged on the spot and began absorbing the Earth Dragon King's power.

In a flash, Yu Tianshuo absorbed the shattered bones of the Earth Dragon King scattered around him, as well as the Ultimate Earth that had been under his control.

The scene made Yu Tianshuo look like a black hole, greedily absorbing everything around him.
