Castorice's Death Authority! The Radiant Dragon King Makes His Move!

The twilight light, like a thin, orange-red veil, enveloped that inconspicuous little town on the border of the Star Luo Empire.

Deep in the desolate mountains outside the city, the entrance to a cave, hidden among rocks and withered vines, glows with a faint, eerie green light.

Deep inside the cave.

An Evil Soul Master, draped in a ghastly green cloak, knelt on one knee.

A much taller figure stood before him, shrouded in a thick, eerie green mist.

The bone mask covered most of his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that flickered with phosphorescent light.

"Waste!"

The leader's voice boomed through the cave, filled with suppressed rage.

"You can't even get a simple task done! Even a soul-guided missile couldn't kill that Bai Yuan???"

"Your subordinate is incompetent! Please punish me, leader!"

The kneeling Evil Soul Master trembled slightly.

"But it is indeed very strange..."

"My subordinate investigated afterwards, and the soul-guided bomb did not detonate."

"It didn't explode?"

"Right."

"My subordinates have carefully examined the scene; there are no signs of explosion, no signs of external demolition..."

"It's as if those bombs just stopped working out of thin air."

The leader remained silent for a moment, the eerie green phosphorescence flickering in his eye sockets:

"Is there... any trace of a top-tier expert?"

"No."

"I guarantee with my life that there were no traces of Titled Douluo- level auras left in the vicinity during the battle."

The leader tapped his bony fingers twice slowly on the armrest.

That's a bit strange.

The kneeling Evil Soul Master cautiously raised his head:

"Does this subordinate believe we should report this to the highest level?"

No, thank you.

The leader's voice deepened, revealing a hint of irritation at being interrupted.

"The master is currently in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Limit Douluo. It is not advisable to disturb him at this time."

"The day he emerges from seclusion will be the day our Green Skull ascends to the top of the Star Luo Continent!"

The kneeling Evil Soul Master's eyes suddenly lit up.

Green Skull.

The infamous Evil Soul Master organization on the Star Luo Continent is so fearsome that its name is known far and wide, and all who have heard of it turn pale with fear.

This is because their strongest fighter, Skeleton Douluo, has been in seclusion all these years trying to break through the bottleneck of the Limit Douluo, and has been unable to go all out.

That's why the Green Skull remained hidden in the shadows, preventing it from causing any real trouble.

But it will be soon.

If the adult successfully reaches the limit, Green Skull's status in the Holy Spirit Cult will rise dramatically.

"Your subordinate congratulates you in advance, sir!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

The chieftain's laughter echoed through the cave.

The laughter suddenly stopped.

What was that sound?

Deep within the cave, a very subtle yet continuous tremor began to emanate from the ground beneath our feet.

The leader's eerie green pupils suddenly contracted.

"Boom!!!!"

A deafening roar erupted from the ground.

The entire cave shook violently with a roar, and rubble fell from the dome. The eerie green Soul Guidance Lamp beads flashed wildly on the walls.

The Earth Vein, dormant for millennia, suddenly erupted in fury, unleashing a Destruction will from its core.

It crashed down like a torrent onto the soul-guiding shields hastily erected by the Evil Soul Master.

The shield, like a fragile soap bubble, burst open, releasing ripples of pale green before being completely swallowed up.

"Enemy attack!!!"

"Enemy attack!!!"

Screams echoed throughout the room.

The Evil Soul Master poured out from all parts of the cave, some not yet fully dressed in their outer armor, others still clutching unfinished Soul Guidance Device in their hands.

But everyone stopped the moment they saw the figure above the cave.

A colossal, purplish-gold dragon coiled atop the collapsed dome of the cave, its massive body engulfing the entire sky, its purplish-gold vertical pupils gazing down upon the tiny ants below.

An aura of Destruction seeped from the gaps in every scale of its body, making the air feel heavy and viscous.

"Kid."

The voice of the Radiant Dragon King descended from above.

"This is what you wanted me to do? No expert here."

Below, two jet-black pillars of Soul Power suddenly shot into the sky.

Two Skeleton Kings, both at the Titled Douluo level, burst out from the remaining cave.

Its body was withered like dead wood, with a black luster flowing across its bones, and its bone blades tore through the air with a mournful ghostly howl.

Two deadly hurricanes swept toward the Radiant Dragon King, one from the left and one from the right.

"Very well, let me do it!"

The Radiant Dragon King's vertical pupils lit up.

It raised one of its dragon claws, the movement as casual as if it were swatting a fly.

Bai Yuan stood on a distant hill, his golden eyes watching the scene through spatial fluctuations.

Within his body, the Core Flame was slowly circulating.

The power of "Castorice" is slowly awakening within the core of that dark golden flame.

That was the power condensed from the divine authority of Amphoreus's "death," allowing the powerful beings within the Core Flame Space to briefly manifest in the world as energy bodies.

Although the time limit is only a few minutes, and the strength can only be exerted to a fraction of what it was before death, it is still a significant advantage for a being of the caliber of the Radiant Dragon King.

Even a trace of it is already exaggerated to an unbelievable degree.

"Laugh."

The moment the Radiant Dragon King swung its claws, the two Skeleton Kings didn't even have time to react.

A purplish-gold will of Destruction swept across the void.

Those two menacing figures, along with their prized bone blades, shattered and disintegrated in an instant.

It turned into countless black bone dust particles that drifted in the twilight wind.

Not even a scream could be heard.

Bai Yuan stared calmly at the slowly falling black powder, his gaze devoid of any extraneous expression.

The nascent death power within him operated quietly, maintaining the Radiant Dragon King's energy body in a stable state.

The Radiant Dragon King extended its claws through the void, casually grasping two eerie green crystals that appeared in its palm.

The surface of the crystal still retained the last traces of the Soul Power of the two Skeleton Kings, as faint as a candle in the wind under the suppression of that Destruction will.

The entire Green Skull base fell into a deathly silence.

Those Evil Soul Master who rushed out to meet the enemy all stood still.

A chill ran down their spines and into the back of their heads. Some people dropped their weapons, while others didn't even dare to breathe.

The colossal, purplish-gold dragon hovered above the collapsed cave, emanating an aura more despairing than death itself.

"Run... run!!"

It's unclear who shouted first, but the crowd of Evil Soul Master erupted in cheers.

Some rushed towards the cave entrance, some tried to tear open Space Rift to escape, and some simply gave up and knelt on the ground, trembling.

Then they crashed into a wall.

A shadowy, dark barrier rose silently, encircling the entire Green Skull base.

The edge of the barrier was permeated with the aura of Death Domain.

The moment they came into contact with the barrier's aura, they began to wither, dissolve, and turn to ash.

The first few Evil Soul Master who rushed to the edge of the barrier didn't even have time to scream.

His body was eroded, disintegrated, and dissipated into the air from the edges by that power of the death domain.

Fear spread through the crowd.

"Roar!!!!"

A dull, broken roar erupted from the deepest part of the remaining cave.

A thick, almost solidified, eerie green evil energy shot into the sky, shattering several layers of rock above.

A tall, withered figure emerged amidst the eruption of evil power.

Half of the bone crown was shattered, twisted eerie green flames flickered in his eye sockets, and his body was surrounded by a violent, not yet fully stable, aura of Limit Douluo.

Skeleton Douluo.

He cleared customs ahead of schedule.

Forced by the power of the Radiant Dragon King, he had no choice but to interrupt his breakthrough process and forcibly break free from his seclusion.

The withered figure hovered in mid-air, eerie green flames burning wildly in its eye sockets:

"Who are you?! Why are you targeting me Green Skull?!"

The Radiant Dragon King's purple-gold vertical pupils narrowed slightly, as if he were examining a toy that was a little too big.

It turned its head and glanced in the direction of the dark golden figure on the distant hill, then lazily turned back.

"Would it be over if I killed him?"
