Tuoba Xuan Soloes the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon; His Fourth Ring Is Thirty Thousand Years Old
"Phew."
Tuoba Xuan let out a long breath. Everything had gone smoothly, and now all that remained was to hunt for Soul Rings.
The four of them discussed it and decided to hunt for the fourth Soul Rings for Dugu Yan and Tuoba Xuan first.
After that, they would get Tuoba Xi the most important ninth Soul Ring.
As for the Soul Beast they would hunt...
Dugu Bo had already picked one out for Tuoba Xi.
It was an eighty-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragon King.
When Dugu Bo had first arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he had clashed with this Golden Earth Dragon King.
They had fought, but Dugu Bo had only just broken through to Titled Douluo at the time, and he had failed to gain the upper hand.
So now Dugu Bo was brimming with fighting spirit, his mind consumed by thoughts of revenge.
The four of them made their preparations and set off on this Soul Hunting Operation.
The first step of the plan was to get Dugu Yan her fourth Soul Ring.
Dugu Bo had long since chosen a target: a nine-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider living in the northeastern part of Sunset Forest.
The four of them had carefully considered the age of the Soul Beast. Dugu Yan's physical constitution was weak, after all. Even after absorbing two Immortal Herbs, she still wasn't capable of absorbing a Soul Ring beyond her limits.
So the nine-thousand-year-old Man Faced Demon Spider was doomed.
With a level-ninety-three Titled Douluo and a level-ninety Quasi-Titled Douluo searching for it, there was nowhere it could run.
The Man Faced Demon Spider instantly became a fish on the chopping board.
"What do you think, Little Xuan? Want to take a shot?"
Dugu Bo stared intently at the trembling Man Faced Demon Spider on the ground.
Tuoba Xuan shook his head. "Not interested!"
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. "All right. With your strength, this Man Faced Demon Spider really isn't much of a challenge."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo let just a hint of poison spread from his body. The Man Faced Demon Spider, on the verge of reaching the ten-thousand-year mark, immediately began convulsing.
Dugu Yan dispatched it without the slightest effort.
Then she began absorbing the Man Faced Demon Spider's Soul Ring.
Dugu Bo and Tuoba Xi sat on the ground, still chatting openly about the future of their two families.
Tuoba Xuan could feel his ears aching.
Just then, he sensed an aura similar to his own.
"Grandpa, I sense a Soul Beast that's right for me." Without a second thought, Tuoba Xuan took off.
Dugu Bo and Tuoba Xi didn't stop him. They both trusted Tuoba Xuan's strength.
Following that similar aura, Tuoba Xuan gradually made his way into the depths of Sunset Forest.
"It disappeared here."
Soul Power flowed over Tuoba Xuan's body, but the aura had vanished without a trace.
If nothing unexpected had happened, the owner of that aura should be a powerful dragon-type Soul Beast.
"Heart of the Mountain Dragon Skill—Might of the Dragon King."
Tuoba Xuan barked the words, and the space around him began to tremble.
"Roar!"
A strange, ragged cry rang out from the quivering space.
A pitch-black bone dragon emerged, its entire body translucent and riddled with spatial fissures.
Tuoba Xuan's eyes narrowed. He seemed to have sensed this Soul Beast's aura in Dragon Valley, but couldn't recall its name just yet.
Still, he didn't hesitate for a moment. He could feel that this Soul Beast was perfectly suited to him.
"You'll do!"
Tuoba Xuan's body shuddered.
"Second Soul Skill, Dragon Breaks the Firmament!"
Tuoba Xuan let out a dragon's roar that shook the heavens. The bone dragon immediately felt itself being suppressed.
It was clearly panicking. This was the first time it had ever sensed the aura of a higher-ranking dragon.
The bone dragon roared.
The space around Tuoba Xuan shattered in an instant.
The spatial fissures began pulling at his Soul Power.
"What's this?" Tuoba Xuan was startled, but didn't dispel the fissures. "Space Devour?"
"Ha ha ha!" Tuoba Xuan instantly grew excited.
The moment he saw the spatial fissures, he recognized the bone dragon.
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon, a powerful dragon-type Soul Beast skilled in space and devouring.
It belonged to the Space Dragon King's lineage.
Its rank was the same as the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's, but it was far rarer.
"With an attack this weak, you still can't hurt me!"
Tuoba Xuan's lips curled into a slight smile.
"First Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Jun Tremor!"
"Boom!"
A tremendous crash rang out.
The ground beneath the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon shattered instantly.
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon felt an immense pressure pressing down on it.
Its body twisted as the sudden gravity crushed it firmly against the ground.
"Roar!"
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon unleashed a fierce counterattack.
It broke free of Tuoba Xuan's control over gravity in an instant.
Its body vanished into the void.
Tuoba Xuan narrowed his eyes.
This was going to be troublesome.
Against an enemy hiding in the void,
he didn't seem to have any way to fight back.
But Tuoba Xuan didn't lose heart.
He had to remember—
He was the Mountain Dragon King Martial Soul.
The Mountain Dragon would always be king!
"Hiding like a coward!"
Tuoba Xuan shouted coldly, and his aura began rising steadily.
"Heart of the Mountain Dragon Skill—Might of the Dragon King."
Tuoba Xuan spread the pressure of the Might of the Dragon King to its utmost.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!"
The spatial fissures around Tuoba Xuan instantly vanished.
The Dragon King-level pressure revealed the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's position at once.
Suppressed by the pressure, the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's movements slowed.
"Third Soul Skill—Dark Demon Evil God Rend!"
A dark, gleaming tail hook appeared behind Tuoba Xuan.
This was his first time using the skill he had gained from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Tuoba Xuan was thrilled.
He smiled coldly.
The Dragon Tiger Hook behind him swung into motion.
"Break!"
Tuoba Xuan roared.
The evil aura around his body instantly dispersed.
Powerful Evil God power gathered on the Dragon Tiger Hook.
"Rip!"
The Dragon Tiger Hook pierced straight through the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's body.
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon let out a scream and felt its insides begin to crumble.
But—
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon was still alive. It had only been injured.
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon roared.
The pressure of impending death made its attacks several times stronger.
Its body vanished into the void again.
The spatial fissures around Tuoba Xuan were now half a meter in diameter.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The fissures frantically dragged at Tuoba Xuan's Soul Power and spiritual power.
"Damn it!"
Tuoba Xuan gritted his teeth. "You think that means I can't do anything about you?"
At that moment, his Sea of Consciousness was like a detailed map.
A purple speck was moving across it.
That was the effect of the Seed of the Evil God.
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's strength had already fallen sharply, and it couldn't detect the Seed of the Evil God at all.
So the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon was now like a plucked piglet, ready for Tuoba Xuan to carve up.
"Dragon Tiger Hook Soul Bone Skill—Dark Demon Evil God Break!"
Tuoba Xuan frantically pinpointed the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's location.
Then he would deliver a fatal blow!
"Crack!"
The Dragon Tiger Hook showed no mercy as it pierced the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's fragile heart.
In an instant, a gaping rift in space opened.
The Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's corpse tumbled out.
But Tuoba Xuan didn't relax. Instead, he struck the corpse a few more times.
There was no helping it. These tricky opponents who specialized in space were the most insidious.
One careless moment, and you were done for.
Only after the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's body had been smashed to pieces did Tuoba Xuan finally breathe a sigh of relief.
He stood quietly where he was and sent out a wisp of his spiritual power.
Its target was naturally Tuoba Xi.
Tuoba Xuan would have had to be a fool to absorb a Soul Ring alone in a Soul Beast forest this fraught with danger.
