Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon

As the two continued deeper, the surrounding light grew increasingly dim.

Just as Ye An's spiritual power spread forward like a tide, his footsteps suddenly halted, and his pupils constricted slightly.

Deep within the dense forest ahead, something was moving slowly in a clearing surrounded by enormous ancient trees.

It was an exceptionally massive snake-type soul beast, its body as thick as the trunks of the ancient trees beside it, coiled atop an exposed layer of rock. Its body was covered in dense scales that reflected two completely different kinds of luster.

Even more unbelievable, however, was its head.

The giant python's two heads branched from the top of its body, raised high to the left and right, each exuding an entirely different aura. The head on the left was covered in scales resembling a starry sky. Those scales had a deep, dark base, their surfaces seemingly flowing with countless tiny points of light like stars in the heavens. As that head slowly breathed, those starlike specks genuinely flickered in and out of existence.

The head on the right, meanwhile, was tightly wrapped in pure silver-white scales, as though cold moonlight had been poured over it. Smooth as a mirror, they gleamed with a frigid metallic sheen.

The snake eyes of the two heads were entirely different as well. The eye on the left held a faint golden hue, while the vertical pupil of the right head was silver-white.

At that moment, the twin-headed giant python lay coiled upon the rock, its two heads alternately rising and lowering as they flicked their scarlet tongues. The starlit scales and silver-white scales intertwined, as though proclaiming its extraordinary nature.

Zhang Lexuan soon noticed the soul beast as well, a trace of confusion appearing in her eyes.

This kind of soul beast... clearly did not belong to any common soul beast species. At the very least, there had been no similar creature in the soul beast knowledge Zhang Lexuan had studied.

Ye An frowned, a vague guess forming in his heart. "This... looks somewhat like a mutated Silver Moon Giant Python."

A Silver Moon Giant Python?

Information about the Silver Moon Giant Python immediately surfaced in Zhang Lexuan's mind—it was a soul beast that lived in the Star Dou Great Forest, active only at night. Though enormous, it moved swiftly and was one of the apex predators among snake-type soul beasts. Its most distinctive feature was the fine scales covering its body as if bathed in moonlight.

Looking at it this way... the soul beast in the distance did indeed share several traits with a Silver Moon Giant Python.

The difference was that this soul beast had one more head.

"Judging by the size of a Silver Moon Giant Python... this soul beast should be between twenty-five thousand and thirty thousand years old."

"It just happens to be suitable for you to absorb."

Ye An added softly, eagerness glinting in his eyes.

However, Jin Peng and Yu Bo, hidden in the shadows, both changed expressions slightly.

Both soul beasts and human Martial Souls could mutate, but in most cases, soul beast mutations were beneficial. A mutated soul beast would only be stronger than its original kind.

A soul beast around twenty-eight thousand years old was roughly equivalent to a human expert above Rank 60, a Soul Emperor.

If that were all, then given Xiao An and Xiao Xuan's monstrous talent, they could still give it a try. But this twenty-eight-thousand-year soul beast was a mutated soul beast... its combat strength might even require a Soul Saint-level Soul Master to hunt it!

And Xiao An, only Rank 38, and Xiao Xuan, who had just broken through Rank 50, probably... were no match for this soul beast!

"Don't reveal ourselves yet. Let's keep watching. The young sect master has completed the Silver Rank Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul and comprehended Unity of Heaven and Man. Working together with the young sect master's wife, they may not be unable to defeat this soul beast. Even if danger truly arises, with our strength, we can protect the two of them."

Hearing Yu Bo's low whisper, Jin Peng hesitated briefly before nodding.

With two Super Douluo nearby, Xiao An and Xiao Xuan could give it a try.

After all, what Super Douluo would fail to protect their own children? Right?

Zhang Lexuan nodded slightly and said softly, "I'll support you. I'll draw its attention while you find an opportunity to get close."

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan immediately released her Martial Soul.

Cold moonlight suddenly rose, instantly alerting the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon—before this, it had actually already noticed the two weak humans. But it had just eaten another soul beast and was full, merely waiting for night to fully fall so it could cultivate by absorbing the power of starlight and moonlight. That was why it had paid Ye An and Zhang Lexuan no heed.

To it, Zhang Lexuan releasing her Martial Soul was clearly a provocation.

Both heads of the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon let out a hiss at the same time. Its previously languid posture vanished in an instant, replaced by an aggressive stance.

The next moment, the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon slithered forward, plowing a deep furrow through the ground. Its enormous body almost instantly appeared before Ye An and Zhang Lexuan.

The starlike head on the left attacked first. Its snake maw opened wide, and a dazzling sphere of light carrying a deadly aura shot from its mouth straight toward Zhang Lexuan.

Zhang Lexuan's expression changed slightly. The third and fourth Soul Rings beneath her feet flashed in succession.

Third Soul Skill, Moonlight Sky Thrust!

Bathed in silver-white radiance, Zhang Lexuan's aura abruptly changed. Then, a brilliant mass of moonlight condensed before her.

The moonlight rapidly compressed, becoming needlelike in the blink of an eye before shooting toward the light sphere spat out by the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon!

The two collided violently. At that moment, Ye An had already silently slipped to the side of the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon. Just as he intended to approach and use his third Soul Skill to disrupt and seal the soul power pathways within its body, the moonlight-like head suddenly twisted and opened its mouth as well, condensing a pure white sphere of light within its gaping jaws!

Two heads, each capable of wielding a different kind of power?

Ye An did not linger, nor did he attempt to continue drawing closer to the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon's body. He retreated without hesitation.

At the same time, a streak of silver radiance suddenly appeared around Ye An.

As that silver radiance rose, the ground began to tremble violently!

Ye An's eyes shifted slightly, excitement flooding his gaze—over the past year and a half, he had developed far more than just Myriad Bone Tremor as a self-created Soul Skill!
