Dark Demon Dragon! Darkness Ran Rampant, and All Things Withered!

It disregarded everything and tried to rush over to rescue the Sky Azure Bull Python, even taking a blast of dragon breath from the Golden Sacred Dragon head-on.

"Your opponent is me!"

Ronan's cold voice rang beside the Titan Giant Ape's ear.

After severely injuring the Sky Azure Bull Python, Ronan did not pause for even a moment. With a flash, he appeared directly above the Titan Giant Ape.

Working together with the Golden Sacred Dragon in midair, his true body and martial soul formed a perfect pincer attack from above and below.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under the dual assault of Ronan's overwhelmingly violent power and the Golden Sacred Dragon's draconic pressure,

the Titan Giant Ape, already thrown into turmoil by the Sky Azure Bull Python's grievous injuries, had no strength left to resist.

In just a few minutes, the Titan Giant Ape's body, as hard as granite, was covered in wounds deep enough to expose bone, while the sounds of shattering bones rang out without end.

Then Ronan's final, powerful whip kick smashed viciously into the Titan Giant Ape's head.

The once-arrogant king of the forest finally let out an unwilling cry of agony.

Its enormous body crashed down into the mud by the lakeshore like a toppled mountain.

It smashed out a massive crater and completely lost the ability to resist.

Thus, the two Hundred-Thousand-Year overlords of the Star Dou Forest were both severely wounded by Ronan and left sprawled on the ground, unable to rise!

Looking at the two giant beasts on the brink of death, there was not the slightest trace of pity in Ronan's eyes.

He slowly walked to the Sky Azure Bull Python's enormous head.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's azure eyes had already dimmed, filled with despair and lifelessness.

"It's over."

Ronan expressionlessly raised his right hand, condensing a sharp golden blade of energy at his fingertips.

Without hesitation, he thrust it into the Sky Azure Bull Python's brow, completely ending the life of this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

"Buzz—"

With the Sky Azure Bull Python's complete death, an immensely powerful energy filled with unwillingness and resentment surged from its corpse.

Immediately afterward, a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring radiating dazzling crimson light, as bewitching as blood, slowly rose from above its corpse and hovered in midair.

Without hesitation, he sat cross-legged beside the Sky Azure Bull Python's corpse and released his Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul.

He drew that scarlet Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring over, slowly lowering it onto himself.

"Boom!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python's lingering soul resentment tried to stir up a storm within Ronan's sea of consciousness, attempting to backlash against the enemy who had killed it.

However, Ronan remained exceptionally calm.

Having already experienced absorbing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring once before, coupled with his terrifying spiritual power and Soul Core,

this bit of backlash from the Sky Azure Bull Python was nothing more than a breeze brushing Ronan's face. It posed no threat whatsoever.

The Three-Pattern Spirit Core rotated slightly, releasing a sacred and majestic pulse that instantly crushed the Sky Azure Bull Python's soul resentment completely.

Then, that violent Spirit Ring energy was rapidly purified and transformed by the Soul Core, flowing obediently into every limb and bone of Ronan's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.

The entire absorption process was smooth and familiar, with almost no difficulties at all.

After some time.

Ronan slowly opened his eyes, and a tangible gleam shot out from them.

The aura around him had become several times stronger than before. He had truly stepped into the realm of a Titled Douluo!

And he had risen in one breath to rank ninety-four!

At the same time, from within the Sky Azure Bull Python's massive corpse, a right arm bone glowing with azure light, as though carved from green jade, slowly floated out.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Azure Bull Python Right Arm Bone!

Ronan reached out and caught this precious Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, examining it briefly.

This Spirit Bone contained an incredibly immense power. It was absolutely a priceless treasure coveted by Soul Masters everywhere.

However, Ronan did not choose to absorb it.

That was because his right arm had long since fused with a Spirit Bone of extremely high quality.

Forcibly replacing it would not only be troublesome, but might not even produce the best result.

"I'll put it away for now. It may be of great use later."

Ronan stored the Azure Bull Python Right Arm Bone in his Storage Spirit Tool.

Then, his gaze fell upon the Titan Giant Ape, which was barely alive and staring at him with eyes full of hatred.

"Next, it's your turn."

Ronan directly ended the Titan Giant Ape's life.

"Roar—"

Then all the energy within its body gathered and condensed into a crimson Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

Looking at the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring hovering in midair, Ronan took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with fervor.

Rather than using his Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul, which already had nine Spirit Rings attached, to absorb it, he willed the Golden Sacred Dragon martial soul back into his body.

The next moment, an aura of absolute darkness and ultimate evil erupted from his body like an exploding volcano!

"Second martial soul, Dark Demon Dragon!"

Ronan sat cross-legged, and his immense spiritual power transformed into invisible chains.

They directly wrapped around the Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring belonging to the Titan Giant Ape in midair and dragged it onto his body.

"Boom!"

The instant the scarlet Spirit Ring settled onto the Dark Demon Dragon martial soul!

The Titan Giant Ape's soul phantom, filled with venomous resentment and unwillingness, suddenly manifested in Ronan's sea of consciousness, roaring as it tried to tear Ronan's soul apart.

"A mere defeated opponent. I could kill you while you were alive, and you still dare act wildly after death? Suppress!"

Ronan snorted coldly. The Three-Pattern Spirit Core erupted with dazzling tri-colored divine light, rising in his sea of consciousness like a blazing sun.

In an instant, it crushed the Titan Giant Ape's soul phantom into the purest spiritual nourishment.

With the obstruction of its soul resentment gone, the violent Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring energy immediately became ownerless.

The Dark Demon Dragon martial soul let out a greedy dragon roar, opened its abyssal maw, and frantically devoured the massive energy like a whale drawing in water.

The entire absorption process went unexpectedly smoothly.

Who knew how much time had passed? When the final trace of scarlet energy was completely devoured and fused by the Dark Demon Dragon, Ronan suddenly opened his eyes.

"Buzz—!"

The instant he opened them, his pupils turned completely deep black, like two black holes capable of devouring all light.

Immediately afterward, an indescribably terrifying dark aura

swept outward from Ronan in all directions like a world-ending storm!

This dark aura was far too pure, far too domineering!

Within a radius of dozens of kilometers, the core region of the Star Dou Forest was completely transformed into a kingdom of darkness in that instant.

Darkness ran rampant, and all things withered!

Meanwhile, in a dense forest dozens of kilometers away from the Lake of Life.

Ah Rou had hidden to one side with Xiao Wu.

Just moments ago, she had clearly sensed the two earth-shaking energies colliding in the direction of the Lake of Life.

Afterward, Da Ming and Er Ming's auras had completely gone out like candles flickering in the wind.

"Da Ming... Er Ming... are dead..."
