Absorbing the Soul Ring

The battle between the two giant beasts was purely a collision of flesh.

Their roars rang through heaven and earth, and their bodies crashed together with terrifying booms!

Rumble...

The earth beneath their feet was like paper, constantly shattering as cracks and ravines split open in exaggerated fashion!

Gulp!

Lin Bei swallowed with difficulty.

Holy crap.

This was way too damn terrifying!

"Move!"

Suddenly, Yue Guan grabbed Lin Bei and leaped to the side.

While they were still in midair, the Violent Flame King Bear's body was sent flying over by a tail whip from the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast, flattening the great tree where they had been standing before crashing into the ground with a thunderous boom!

"Roar!"

The Violent Flame King Bear was utterly furious. It got back to its feet and charged at the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast with an angry roar.

Its huge bear paws burned with raging flames.

With a bang, the Violent Flame King Bear's flaming paw slammed into the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's head, making its body stagger.

Bang!

The Violent Flame King Bear followed up with another paw, smacking the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast across the neck.

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast let out a miserable cry from the blow and could no longer keep its balance, toppling sideways to the ground.

Boom!

It was as if a meteor from beyond the heavens had struck the earth, making the ground tremble violently.

The Violent Flame King Bear pressed its advantage. Its pair of bear eyes were bloodred, blooming with a chilling killing intent!

The flames on its paws burned even more fiercely, blazing wildly. With an enraged roar, the Violent Flame King Bear brought both paws down heavily toward the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast.

Aung!

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast also roared, its cry like a dragon's chant, and a golden ring of light abruptly rose from beneath its body.

After the ring of light rose, it instantly spread apart, transforming into a golden barrier that enveloped the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's entire body.

Bang!

The Violent Flame King Bear struck the golden barrier heavily.

With a thunderous boom, terrifying airwaves and tremors erupted from the point of impact.

Although the golden barrier shook violently, in the end, it did not shatter.

By contrast, the Violent Flame King Bear's pair of paws had their bones broken by the recoil, and its entire bear body was sent flying backward with a crash, smashing heavily into the ground not far away!

Aung!

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast struggled to its feet and relentlessly walked toward the Violent Flame King Bear, which had fallen to the ground and was howling in pain.

The two soul beasts had already battled fiercely for a long time.

At this moment, both were gravely injured and exhausted.

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast did not walk steadily. Its massive body swayed as if it would collapse to the ground at any moment.

At this moment, Yue Guan made his move.

The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum in his hand scattered into golden petals. These petals danced as they rushed into the air, then descended from the sky, encircling the Violent Flame King Bear, which lay on the ground without the strength to stand!

"Do it!"

The moment Yue Guan summoned his martial soul, he had already instructed Lin Bei to attack the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast, which was already at the end of its rope!

Sword Control Technique!

The steel sword Old Fu had bought flew out from the wrist guard. Under Yue Guan's rather astonished gaze, the steel sword tore through the air and shot straight toward the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's head!

What soul skill is this?

Why does it look so much like the move used by Chen Xin from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

This was the first time Yue Guan had seen Lin Bei use such a skill, and he was secretly startled.

Clang!

The steel sword accurately struck the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's head.

But the steel sword only produced a string of sparks and did not even break the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's skin!

At this moment, the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast had already noticed Lin Bei and Yue Guan.

It looked over, its enormous eyes appearing extremely furious.

It roared angrily, its front leg smashing heavily into the ground—

Dragon Rock Thrust!

Rumble!

The ground beneath Lin Bei and Yue Guan's feet suddenly rose, thrusting up thick earthen spikes one after another!

Whoosh!

The steel sword flew back, carrying Lin Bei away to avoid the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's attack.

Yue Guan also leaped aside.

Roar!

When the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast saw the two of them dodge, it grew even more furious. It wanted to keep attacking, but its body suddenly shuddered. The injuries it had suffered earlier in its battle with the Violent Flame King Bear could no longer be suppressed, and its massive body crashed to the ground!

Lin Bei landed on the ground not far away, then used the Sword Control Technique again to test it up close, but the steel sword simply could not break through the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's defense.

Yue Guan's shrill voice rang out as he said, "Ordinary weapons can't cut through the hide and flesh of an Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast. Try your martial soul!"

Of course I know that.

Wasn't I testing whether it really had no strength left to resist?

Lin Bei muttered inwardly. He was no reckless brat.

As the saying went, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Who knew if this Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast would suddenly turn around and kill him the moment he went up to it?

That was why he had used the Sword Control Technique to probe it first.

Now, it seemed this Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast truly had no strength left to resist. Faced with Lin Bei's Sword Control Technique, it had not reacted at all, only wheezing weakly, more breath going out than coming in.

Lin Bei summoned his martial soul, the Creation Axe.

The moment the huge axe appeared, a terrifying aura instantly spread through a radius of ten li. Vaguely, it seemed as if a towering phantom that propped up heaven and earth had emerged.

Lin Bei gripped the Creation Axe and walked toward the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast.

Even lying down, the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's head was much larger than Lin Bei's body.

Without the slightest pause, Lin Bei tightened his grip on the Creation Axe and chopped down at the Dragon Armor Beast's head.

The physical quality of a Soul Emperor was enough for him to unleash sufficient chopping power.

Rumble!

Lin Bei raised the Pangu Creation Axe high over his head, then hacked it down!

In an instant, it was as if auroras flowed and the Milky Way fell from the sky. An utterly terrifying power poured out from the axe.

All that could be heard was a thunderous explosion!

Rumble!

A deep trench was cleaved into the earth!

As for the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast, its head and body had already been separated beneath the axe blade. It was as dead as dead could be!

Hiss—!

Off to the side, Yue Guan sucked in a cold breath when he saw the destructive power unleashed by the Pangu Creation Axe.

That freaking attack power.

If he went up and took an axe blow like that, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured.

Was this guy's martial soul really something a mortal could possess?

A black soul ring floated out from the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's mountain-like corpse.

When the Violent Flame King Bear saw this scene, it roared and struggled, but the petals of Yue Guan's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum released a strange power that firmly suppressed it, rendering it completely unable to move.

Before the Violent Flame King Bear had been injured, Yue Guan might have needed to expend some effort to suppress it, but right now this Violent Flame King Bear was already weak and broken. He could make it unable to move with a casual gesture.

"Kid, hurry up and absorb the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's soul ring!"

Yue Guan said.

Lin Bei nodded, sat down cross-legged, and first placed an Immortal Bean in his mouth. Only then did he follow the method in the Meditation Method Bibi Dong had given him and begin absorbing the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's soul ring.

Under Lin Bei's guidance, the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's soul ring immediately flew onto his body.

The next second, terrifying Soul Power surged from the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's soul ring into Lin Bei's body.

This Soul Power was like a flood bursting through a dam. Lin Bei was like a tiny boat, nearly overturned and swallowed beneath the impact of the vast Soul Power!

Lin Bei gritted his teeth and endured the assault of Soul Power. He felt the muscles all over his body tearing apart, pieces of flesh as if they were being desperately ripped at by someone, the pain incomparably intense.

Seeing that his body was about to burst apart, Lin Bei quickly swallowed the Immortal Bean in his mouth.

The Immortal Bean's miraculous healing power instantly healed all his injuries!

Roar!

Suddenly, Lin Bei felt his mind shake violently.

A wave of hatred and rage came through.

At the same time, a force of resistance came from the soul ring.

Lin Bei seemed to have sunk into an illusion. Before him appeared a massive Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast.

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast glared at Lin Bei with fury and hatred, roaring as it opened its jaws to devour him.

Was this the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's soul?

Lin Bei stared in shock as the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast bit toward him—

Just then, a flash of light lit up behind Lin Bei.

A figure wreathed in endless divine radiance suddenly appeared.

The giant figure tightened its grip on the huge axe in its hand and swung it down at the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast!

Boom!

The Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast had no power to resist before the giant figure. With one strike of the axe, it was shattered to pieces.

The fragments drifted toward Lin Bei and were slowly absorbed by him.

At the same time, the soul ring also lost the strength to resist.

Lin Bei slowly absorbed the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's soul ring and soul fragments—

From those soul fragments, he saw the Violent Flame King Bear smash open a huge egg and eat it.

Realization dawned in Lin Bei's heart.

No wonder those two soul beasts had fought to the death like that. So the Violent Flame King Bear had eaten the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's dragon egg.

The vast Soul Power gradually strengthened Lin Bei's body. He had no idea how much time had passed, but when Lin Bei completely absorbed the Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast's soul ring and opened his eyes, he found that the sky was already bright.
