Netherbone Purgatory

Ye An's first Soul Ring suddenly flashed beneath his feet.

Ye An raised his palm, and a streak of silver light flashed past. In the next instant, countless silver-white bone spikes burst from his palm, raining down upon the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon!

Without pausing, Ye An immediately crouched halfway down and pressed both hands against the ground.

Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan, who had used her fourth soul skill to block the shockwave from the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon's star head, instantly understood. The second Soul Ring beneath her feet silently flickered.

A beam of cold moonlight suddenly surged from Zhang Lexuan's palm, forming a hazy silver-white ring in midair. The ring then swiftly descended and wrapped directly around the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon.

Second soul skill, Frost Moon Ring. Its effect was to control the enemy's body and restrict its movements!

Of course, at Zhang Lexuan's current level, the control effect of this soul skill was negligible against a Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon with twenty-eight thousand years of cultivation. But as long as it could stiffen its body for even a moment, that would be enough!

The bone spikes filling the sky suddenly fell, but the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon's two heads merely let out a roar. Two entirely different lights abruptly condensed around its body.

One was brilliant gold, like the stars.

The other was a cold silver, like moonlight.

The two lights intertwined over its body, forming a faint membrane like a protective barrier that completely enveloped it.

Even with the immense boost from the Silver Rank Second Awakening of the Body Martial Soul, Ye An's first soul skill still could not pierce the barrier formed by the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon. Instead, every bone spike was deflected and scattered across the ground.

However, Ye An had never intended to achieve victory with that soul skill.

It was merely preparation for the self-created soul skill he was about to unleash!

Ye An pressed both hands to the ground. The soul power within him quietly trembled, transforming into a specific Bone Soundwave that spread through the earth.

Then, the Razor Bone Thorns that had been deflected onto the ground by the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon seemed to receive some kind of summons and began growing wildly!

The ground beneath them suddenly shook.

This Bone Soundwave seemed not only to affect the Razor Bone Thorns on the ground, but also the animal remains and calcium-rich minerals buried deep underground!

To the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon, every move made by the tiny humans Ye An and Zhang Lexuan was nothing less than provocation.

It roared in fury. The control effect of Zhang Lexuan's second soul skill vanished completely as its body slithered forward at astonishing speed, appearing before Zhang Lexuan almost instantly.

But before it could attack her, the bone spikes growing from the ground, along with the soul beast remains and calcium-rich matter deep beneath the earth, suddenly erupted, forming a purgatory of ghastly white bones!

Countless wildly growing bones burst from the ground, piercing directly through the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon's body and firmly imprisoning it within this bone purgatory!

This was Ye An's second self-created soul skill, developed from the inspiration of the Dead Bone Pulse. He named it Netherbone Purgatory. By using the bone spikes from his first soul skill, Razor Bone Thorn, and stimulating them with soul power and Bone Soundwave, he made them grow wildly, ultimately forming a bone purgatory with a terrifying range.

If the ground beneath him contained abundant soul beast remains or calcium-rich substances, the power of this self-created soul skill would increase geometrically.

And the soil of the Star Dou Great Forest lacked neither soul beast carcasses nor calcium-rich substances. It could even be said that the Star Dou Great Forest was the ideal place to unleash this self-created soul skill's full power.

Caught off guard, the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon was instantly pierced through by sharp bones. Distinct crimson blood seeped from its body, while its two mouths released agonized hisses.

Yet it did not die. Its massive body continued struggling within the forest of bones, its hisses becoming more piercing with every cry.

Seeing this, Ye An finally let out a breath of relief.

The power of this self-created soul skill was indeed formidable. Of course, the terrain had also contributed to this result. In another location, this self-created soul skill might not possess such power. But as his strength increased, perhaps one day he would no longer need to rely on the terrain to unleash such a terrifying bone purgatory and suppress his enemies.

"Sister Lexuan, it shouldn't have much strength left to resist. We can kill it..."

Before Ye An could utter the words "absorb its Soul Ring," his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Two entirely different lights rose from the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon's body once more!

It's already been pierced through by bones like that... and it can still resist?

Ye An's heart tightened slightly.

In the next instant, the intertwined golden and silver light enveloped the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon. Its somewhat weakened state seemed to undergo a drastic change—the piercing wounds caused by the bones appeared to improve considerably, and the wounds on its body seemed to be closing.

Even stranger, a pair of somewhat illusory wings emerged from its back!

One half of the wings was brilliant gold like stars, while the other was silver-white like moonlight.

In just an instant, this Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon seemed to have undergone a transformation!

In truth, this Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon was born from a cross between a subdragon soul beast and a Silver Moon Giant Python. It had mutated at birth, becoming a Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon with two heads. Later, it had accidentally consumed a peculiar immortal herb.

Although this peculiar immortal herb was not as heaven-defying as the immortal herbs within the Icefire Yin Yang Well, it still stimulated the dragon-type soul beast bloodline within the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon.

Had it not encountered Ye An and Zhang Lexuan, and had it been allowed to continue evolving and increasing its cultivation, then by the time it cultivated for one hundred thousand years, it might truly have transformed into a genuine dragon-type soul beast.

But now...

Ye An narrowed his eyes, immediately reaching a conclusion.

Although the Star-Moon Twin-Headed Flood Dragon's form had changed somewhat and the wounds on its body seemed to have closed, its condition had not actually improved by much. So... even though it now had a pair of somewhat illusory wings on its back and appeared different from before, he and Zhang Lexuan could still try to kill this soul beast together.
