No Way Back-Time to Unleash the Big Guns!
Lin Xia gasped, instantly recognizing the legendary ferocious creature!
According to the Soul Beast Encyclopedia, these top predators, which live by devouring the souls and Soul Power of Soul Master, were so ferocious and disruptive to the ecological balance that they had long been besieged and nearly extinct for thousands of years by the Spirit Hall in conjunction with several other major forces!
How did it end up here?
And... it just so happens to be a being with a cultivation level of around five or six thousand years?!
Five or six thousand years!
For top-tier Soul Beast, this age limit means they possess terrifying strength that rivals or even crushes ordinary Soul King!
Especially the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger, Ferocious Beast with exceptional talent, possessing both mental attacks and the ability to devour!
In a flash, a thought crossed Lin Xia's mind—a test!
This is a test arranged by Bibi Dong and the Rakshasa God!
Otherwise, there is no way to explain why such a top-tier Soul Beast, which has long been extinct, would happen to appear, and at this particular time!
"That's outrageous!"
But Lin Xia had no time to complain, for the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger's vertical, eerie green pupils, burning with the flames of its soul, were already Lock-On him!
A bone-chilling cold, as if it could freeze and suck away his soul, instantly enveloped his entire body!
Run?
In this complex and dangerous Death Canyon, facing a top-tier tiger-type Soul Beast renowned for its speed and explosive power is simply a pipe dream!
Moreover, Bibi Dong's rule is to persist for three days; voluntarily escaping the entrance area could be seen as abandoning the trial or triggering other dangers!
There's no way to retreat!
The only option is to fight to the death!
"Ivysaur!"
An unprecedentedly resolute light flashed in Lin Xia's eyes. All fear was instantly suppressed in his heart, leaving only the purest will to survive and fighting instinct!
Lin Xia practically roared the order, her voice trembling slightly from extreme tension and excitement.
"Solar Beam! Maximum Power! Target— Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger! Now! Immediately!"
"Dana--!!!"
Ivysaur sensed its owner's do-or-die determination!
It let out a roar that shook the canyon, and the huge flower bud on its back instantly burst forth with an unprecedented, dazzling golden light, like a second sun!
Boom!!!
Under the extreme amplification of Sunny Day, the process of Stockpile in the Solar Beam is compressed to its limit!
Almost the instant Lin Xia gave the order, the concentrated essence of the sun within the flower bud transformed into a blazing white beam of light, over three meters in diameter and composed entirely of destructive energy.
Like a divine spear of judgment, it tore through the gloomy sky of the canyon, carrying the terrifying power to purify all filth and incinerate all matter, and with a speed beyond the reach of sight, it ruthlessly slammed into the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger had just emerged from the shadows and was about to Body Press!
Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was instantly sucked away, producing a piercing explosion!
The low-level Soul Beast frozen along the way didn't even have time to scream before they were vaporized in the torrent of light and heat!
Not even bones remained!
A deep, scorched trench was plowed into the earth!
This attack brought together all the power that Ivysaur had accumulated in its Perpetual Motion Fortress state, and it also borrowed the immense light energy drawn by the Sunny Day!
A beam of blazing white light instantly engulfed the massive figure of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger!
Lin Xia's heart pounded in his chest, his eyes fixed on the direction where the pillar of light disappeared. The Poison Vine Bone Wings on his back trembled slightly, and the Sun Wheel Guard shimmered, firmly protecting him and Ivysaur.
Lin Xia dared not be careless in the slightest. With his level 24 Soul Power, facing a top-tier Soul Beast that was five or six thousand years old, the Solar Beam could only severely injure the opponent at best. To kill it instantly? That was simply a pipe dream!
The beam of light dissipated, leaving behind the pungent smell of burning flesh and Heat Wave.
On the scorched ground, a huge crater was emitting blue smoke.
At the edge of the pit, a charred and twisted figure struggled to its feet.
It is the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger!
Its appearance at that moment was extremely pitiful.
Its once deep, night-black fur had vanished, and its entire body was covered with a thick layer of cracked charcoal, as if it were wearing a tattered black armor.
Beneath the charred remains lay churning, blood-bubbling, and greasy scarlet flesh, emitting a nauseating stench of cooked meat.
What's most chilling are its eyes—the eerie green flames of its soul still burn, but they no longer contain cold greed; instead, they are ignited with a raging ferocity that can consume reason!
"Roar--!!!"
A roar, even more terrifying and ferocious than before, exploded from its shattered throat!
This roar was no longer just a sound wave, but contained the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger's innate ability— Soul Shock!
An invisible sound wave, mixed with violent mental power, slammed into Lin Xia and Ivysaur's mental world like a tangible hammer!
Buzz--!
Lin Xia felt as if her head had been hit hard by a giant hammer; her vision went black instantly, and she saw stars!
A violent dizziness and tearing pain came from the depths of my soul, as if countless steel needles were churning inside my skull!
Lin Xia groaned, her body swaying uncontrollably, almost kneeling on one knee, only managing to stay upright thanks to the support of the Poison Vine Bone Wings.
The Sun Wheel Guard fluctuated violently, and golden light flashed wildly. Although it isolated most of the physical impact, it could not completely block this power that struck the soul!
"Dana!!!"
Ivysaur also hissed in pain, its scarlet eyes filled with agony and confusion.
The resilient spirit, under the Soul Shock, was like a seedling ravaged by a storm; the light of the flower bud on its back flickered violently, and its actions of Ingrain and Absorb energy were momentarily halted.
Its massive body trembled slightly, its limbs went limp, and it could barely maintain its fighting stance!
The ferocity of the Soul-Devouring Ghost Tiger has been fully unleashed!
It ignored the horrific Burn all over its body; the charred flesh burst open with a roar, revealing stark white bones.
Those eerie green vertical pupils, burning with venomous flames, Lock-On Lin Xia. With a sudden burst of power from its hind legs, it pounded a deep pit into the scorched ground. Its massive body, carrying a tragic aura of mutual destruction, Lunge towards the light barrier like a cannonball!
The speed is far greater than before!
The shadow of death loomed over them instantly!
Lin Xia endured the excruciating pain that felt like his soul was being torn apart and the intense dizziness. His vision was still blurry, but he knew he absolutely couldn't let it get close!
Once this top-tier Soul Beast, driven mad, breaks through the Sun Wheel Guard, he and Ivysaur will be instantly torn to shreds!
"Ivysaur!"
Lin Xia almost screamed the command, her voice distorted by the pain and urgency.
"Growl! Maximum power! Push it back--!!!"
The sound, like a thunderclap, exploded in Ivysaur's chaotic mental world!
"Dana--!!!"
Ivysaur suddenly shook its head, its scarlet eyes flashing with an unprecedented ferocity!
The fighting instincts deep within his bloodline and his absolute loyalty to his master overwhelmed the pain brought on by the Soul Shock!
Ivysaur suddenly opened its massive jaws. This time, its Growl was no longer a cute response, but a transparent sound wave that could be seen distorting the air, mixed with Ivysaur's ferocious will and tenacious Life Energy, bursting forth from the depths of its throat like a flood bursting its banks!
Growl!
