Siege, the Three Brothers Hunt the Eighty-Thousand-Year Golden Earth Dragon King

Tuoba Xi received the voice transmission from Tuoba Xuan just as Dugu Yan finished absorbing her spirit ring.

The three of them wasted no time, galloping toward Tuoba Xuan's location.

The moment they arrived, they all drew a sharp breath in unison.

"This is..." Tuoba Xi's voice trembled, "a thirty-thousand-year Void Bone-Eroding Dragon?"

Dugu Yan's face was etched with disbelief; she knew that her own fourth spirit ring was barely nine thousand years old.

Furthermore, that age already surpassed the fourth-ring limit for the vast majority of spirit masters.

Yet, when compared to Tuoba Xuan's fourth spirit ring, her nine-thousand-year ring suddenly seemed insignificant.

"Haha!" Dugu Bo's voice was raspy with shock. "Not bad, this Void Bone-Eroding Dragon's spirit ring is a perfect fit for you."

Tuoba Xuan nodded. "There is no time to lose; I will absorb it now."

Tuoba Xi said, "Good. Rest easy, Little Xuan. With Grandfather here, no one will be able to disturb you."

Tuoba Xuan centered his mind, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the spirit ring of the thirty-thousand-year Void Bone-Eroding Dragon.

Although absorbing a thirty-thousand-year spirit ring as a fourth ring was somewhat unheard of, the moment they remembered it was Tuoba Xuan doing the absorbing, the three of them felt that it was perfectly fine.

Time slipped by in the blink of an eye, and half an hour passed.

Tuoba Xuan's aura gradually stabilized, and the presence of the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon vanished entirely.

Tuoba Xuan's fingers twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt a tinge of regret.

The age of this thirty-thousand-year Void Bone-Eroding Dragon was still a bit too low.

However, the moment he thought of the spirit skill he had gained, the trace of resentment in Tuoba Xuan's heart dissipated like smoke.

Seeing Tuoba Xuan wake up, Tuoba Xi immediately crowded around him.

"How are you feeling now, Little Xuan?"

"What is your spirit power level?"

"How is the newly acquired spirit skill?"

The barrage of questions left Tuoba Xuan unsure of which to answer first.

Tuoba Xuan waved his hand, signaling for his grandfather to calm down.

"Grandfather, I feel great."

"My spirit power has reached level 48."

That was right; Tuoba Xuan's spirit power level had reached level 48.

Although he had absorbed four immortal herbs, the efficacy of each subsequent herb diminished after the first.

Moreover, he was a spirit master with an ultimate attribute; after level thirty, every level gained required a hundred times the effort of an ordinary spirit master.

Although the concept of an ultimate attribute did not exist in this era, it was a reality nonetheless.

However, Tuoba Xuan could feel that he was only a hair's breadth away from another breakthrough to level 49, and he would soon be a Spirit King.

"The new spirit skill I obtained is called—Void Devour."

Tuoba Xuan did not reveal the effects of the skill, merely smiling to indicate that they would see it for themselves soon enough.

The corners of the mouths of Tuoba Xi and the others twitched, and they had no choice but to suppress their curiosity.

"Alright, since the matters concerning you two little ones are settled, let us go find that Golden Earth Dragon King," Dugu Bo said.

Tuoba Xuan and Tuoba Xi nodded in agreement.

"Um, Yan-yan! The danger in hunting this spirit beast is immense."

Dugu Bo sighed; he did not want to see his granddaughter get hurt.

"Even I and Brother Tuoba cannot guarantee your safety."

Dugu Bo's voice softened. "Why don't you return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well first? Once the three of us are finished, we will return to find you."

Dugu Yan, who had been brimming with excitement and eager to test her own strength, instantly froze.

She knew the dangers of an eighty-thousand-year spirit beast, but she and Tuoba Xuan were of the same generation.

Her grandfather's words were directed only at her.

But then, Dugu Yan's spirit deflated. One had to remember that Tuoba Xuan had solo-killed a thirty-thousand-year Void Bone-Eroding Dragon while still a Spirit Venerable.

His fourth spirit ring was an existence that transcended the era.

If she were to spar with the current Tuoba Xuan, she would likely be killed in an instant.

I'm lying to myself; I would have been killed in an instant even before this.

Dugu Yan understood the bigger picture and could only say helplessly, "Alright, Grandfather. I will return to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and wait for you all."

Seeing that Dugu Yan was not making a fuss, Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction.

Afterward, the three of them first escorted Dugu Yan back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well before beginning their search across the forest for traces of the Golden Earth Dragon King.

The Golden Earth Dragon King was a dignified eighty-thousand-year-old soul beast that possessed its own exclusive territory.

Furthermore, it was an old acquaintance of Dugu Bo.

In a valley within the Sunset Forest, the trio successfully discovered the Golden Earth Dragon King in the midst of mating with a female Golden Earth Dragon.

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched, and his anger flared up instantly.

He had been searching desperately for this creature, only to find the fellow enjoying itself.

"You beast, do you still remember your grandfather? Get out here and meet your death!"

A voice like rolling thunder exploded over the Golden Earth Dragon's territory.

The Golden Earth Dragon King, just about to make its final thrust, was startled; it pulled out immediately and looked toward the sky in terror.

Seeing three humans, the Golden Earth Dragon King let out a furious roar.

The Golden Earth Dragon King belonged to the top-tier sub-dragon soul beast species, its body covered in a layer of golden scales.

This resulted in the Golden Earth Dragon King possessing incredibly formidable defensive power.

Moreover, this was the territory of the Golden Earth Dragons; surrounding the Golden Earth Dragon King were several twenty-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragons.

The pack of Golden Earth Dragons let out a heaven-shaking roar in unison, their spike-filled maws opening to condense golden spheres of light that bombarded Tuoba Xuan and his two companions.

"Follow the plan!" Dugu Bo's body shuddered as the nine soul rings beneath him pulsed in unison.

"Seventh Soul Skill—Avatar of the Martial Soul."

Dugu Bo unleashed his Martial Soul Avatar directly, and a massive Jade Scale Flood Dragon Emperor instantly appeared behind him.

The Jade Scale Flood Dragon Emperor flicked its tongue, its entire body undulating as a sky-filling poisonous mist spread outward.

However, this mist was precisely controlled so as not to strike Tuoba Xi or Tuoba Xuan.

Dugu Bo went for the kill the moment he struck, and the several ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragons beneath his feet felt their bodies being eroded in an instant.

"As expected of the continent's strongest Title Douluo for group attacks; truly powerful!"

Tuoba Xi let out a low growl, "But this old man cannot tarnish his own reputation either."

"Seventh Soul Skill—Avatar of the Martial Soul."

A massive phantom of a Holy Armor Earth Dragon emerged behind Tuoba Xi.

He likewise released his Martial Soul Avatar, radiating a dense golden light as he charged fearlessly toward the Golden Earth Dragon King.

The situation instantly turned into a three-on-one.

The remaining ten-thousand-year-old Golden Earth Dragons had long since been unable to withstand Dugu Bo's lethal poison and had already collapsed.

"Eighth Soul Skill—Time Solidification!"

Dugu Bo's eyes glinted with cold light, and the Golden Earth Dragon King was locked in place instantly.

The Golden Earth Dragon King immediately felt immense pressure, its movements becoming agonizingly slow.

"Let this old man up the ante!"

Tuoba Xi shouted excitedly, "Eighth Soul Skill—Holy Armor Heavenly Stellar Array!"

The Holy Armor Earth Dragon brandished its broad dragon claws, and a strange golden formation instantly merged with Dugu Bo's Time Solidification, suppressing the Golden Earth Dragon King firmly.

Tuoba Xuan's mouth curled upward, "Since that is the case, I shall add to it as well!"

"Might of the Dragon King!"

Tuoba Xuan began to chant; the space around the Golden Earth Dragon King tore open, and countless golden rays reached out from the void, beginning to tear at the Golden Earth Dragon King's scales and mental energy.

"Fourth Soul Skill—Void Devour!"

Tuoba Xuan's fourth soul skill perfectly inherited the characteristics of the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon.

It could tear the space around an enemy while simultaneously absorbing their soul power and mental energy.

The Golden Earth Dragon King struggled desperately, its body trembling violently.

That was right; unlike the Void Bone-Eroding Dragon, the soul power and mental energy absorbed by Void Devour would instead replenish Tuoba Xuan himself.

Furthermore, Void Banishment paired exceptionally well with Tuoba Xuan's other soul skills.

Tuoba Xuan opened his eyes abruptly, golden light flashing.

"Can't take it anymore? It's not over yet!"

"Adding more to the stakes!"

"First Soul Skill—Ten Thousand Jun Tremor!"
