Absorbing the Second Soul Ring

The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's face was covered by a Bone Mask, and the bone armor on its body also repaired itself under the blood-black Evil aura, becoming even harder.

The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's eyes changed as well. The whites turned black, while the pupils became yellow. Its aura grew even more violent and Evil.

"Roar!!!"

The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull was extremely agitated as it let out an ear-shattering roar. With a thunderous boom, the ground beneath its hooves caved in. Its figure shot forward, and the air screamed like it was being torn apart wherever its fist passed, as though the atmosphere itself were about to split open.

The sixth black Soul Ring around Flender's body shone brightly. He clenched his right fist and charged forward to meet the blow.

Boom!!!

In an instant, the entire ground boiled, sending up waves a hundred meters high. The terrifying sound nearly deafened Ye Yu. If it had been another Soul Master, the sound waves alone would have made blood pour from their seven orifices. But Ye Yu's body had already grown much stronger, so he was unharmed.

The two collided, and terrifying Strength swept outward as the surrounding space trembled. All the giant trees within a thousand meters were uprooted, while great swaths of yellow earth rose into the air, blotting out the sky.

In the blink of an eye, the dust was scattered by the terrifying currents of air, revealing an empty area stretching several thousand meters.

Watching this scene, Ye Yu exclaimed in amazement, "So this is a battle between a Soul Sage and a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast? It's truly terrifying."

Ye Yu felt fortunate. "Luckily, my body is strong. Otherwise, even from this distance, I would have been injured by the aftershocks."

When their fists collided, Flender remained completely motionless, his expression calm and his arm extended straight. The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's arm, however, trembled slightly.

Boom!!

After a stalemate lasting two breaths, the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull was sent flying, its blood and qi churning inside its body.

Flender marveled inwardly, As expected of a mutated Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull. At the same level, even if I went all out, I wouldn't be its match.

Flender felt fortunate that they had not encountered a thirty-thousand-year one. Otherwise, all he could have done was flee with Ye Yu.

As the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull flew backward, Flender swiftly appeared above it and slammed a fist into its Head Bone.

The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull crashed to the ground, creating a deep pit. Dense, wide cracks spread in every direction, with the longest one reaching all the way to Ye Yu's feet.

Ye Yu's five senses were sharp, and no Soul Beast dared approach this place, afraid of being caught in the aftermath.

After a brief daze, the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull charged out again. Several cracks had already appeared in the Bone Mask over its Head Bone.

Boom boom boom boom...

The two figures clashed again, flickering constantly as they exchanged blows. Ye Yu could no longer capture their figures with his naked eyes. Even at the instant of collision, he could not see them clearly. Only the thunderous booms and terrifying waves of air spreading outward proved that the battle was still continuing.

After a hundred exchanges, the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull was already panting heavily. Its bone armor was covered in cracks, and pieces of the mask on its face had broken off and fallen away, exposing half its face.

As the mask broke apart, its aura weakened considerably. The color of the Soul Power around its body was no longer black, returning to purple once more.

"Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull, among Soul Beasts below ten thousand years, I, Flender, am willing to call you the strongest. To die at my hands and become Xiao Yu's Soul Ring is also your honor."

The wings behind Flender beat, and in the blink of an eye he swept behind the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull. His two fists struck heavily from both sides, smashing toward the left and right sides of its Head Bone.

Boom!!

The powerful pincer attack directly shook the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's consciousness apart. With a cracking sound, the mask on its face shattered and vanished completely.

The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull fell helplessly to its knees and collapsed on the ground, blood streaming from its Head Bone.

Flender exhaled. "At last, it's settled."

Ye Yu stepped forward, his eyes shining with excitement. The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull was indeed extremely strong. Obtaining its Soul Ring might grant him an exceptionally powerful Soul Skill.

"We still have to beat it brutally, just like the Swift Growth Tiger, until it no longer wants to live."

Flender immediately began beating and torturing it relentlessly. But the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull was different from the Swift Growth Tiger. It possessed Evil aura of its own and would not submit easily.

After beating it viciously for several minutes, Flender saw that the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's eyes were still filled with extreme hatred. He frowned. "Its resentment is growing even stronger."

Flender found the situation troublesome. If they continued beating it, it might die.

"I'll deal with it, and then we can start the absorption," Ye Yu said.

Flender was worried. "The Swift Growth Tiger wanted to die, whereas the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull is the opposite. Once you begin absorbing it, you'll face extreme resentment."

"I know. But if we continue, it still won't want to die. It possesses Evil aura and won't submit. Continuing to beat it would only waste time."

Flender nodded. "All right. Then kill it, and afterward we'll go find Xiao Gang."

Ye Yu stepped forward, clenched his fist, and unleashed his full power, striking the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's Head Bone with all his might.

With a thunderous boom, the earth shook, and the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's head was driven straight into the ground.

The Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull did not die from that punch.

"One punch wasn't enough, so I'll give it another."

Boom boom boom...

Ye Yu struck with one punch after another. After ten punches, the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull finally lost all signs of life.

Purple sparks of light drifted up from the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull, forming a Soul Ring that shone with an even more intense and dazzling purple radiance.

This was a Nine Thousand Year Soul Ring. Moreover, because of the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's inherent Evil and violence, the Soul Ring appeared even more domineering.

Flender took Ye Yu away. Once they reached the outskirts of the forest, Master and Tang San, who had been waiting, stood up.

After landing, Master saw the Soul Ring and sensed the extreme violence and Evil aura within it. His brows furrowed.

"It actually contains Evil aura. This..." Master asked in a grave voice, "What Soul Beast does this Soul Ring belong to?"

Flender sighed. "It's from a Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull, with nine thousand years of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Master's expression changed. He frowned gravely. "How could you let Xiao Yu hunt a Soul Ring from a Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull? Even if Xiao Yu's constitution is special, absorbing this Soul Ring will be extremely dangerous. He might lose his reason and be corrupted by Evil."

Flender said helplessly, "Of course I know that. But there was no other choice. Xiao Yu insisted on choosing the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull."

"Yes, Teacher. I was the one who insisted on taking this one," Ye Yu said.

Master's face was full of worry. "Although I don't know whether your absorption will be like before, without resentment or rejection, the Evil aura will certainly spread through your body, Devour your consciousness, and make you fall into Evil."

"If the resentment can disappear, perhaps the Evil aura can disappear as well," Ye Yu speculated.

Master was helpless. Seeing Ye Yu's determined expression, he had no choice. He knew that no amount of persuasion would work.

"All right. Then begin absorbing it."

Ye Yu nodded and sat cross-legged. His Soul Power began drawing the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's Soul Ring toward him.

Tang San was also somewhat worried. Although he knew that Ye Yu could absorb a one-thousand-one-hundred-year Soul Ring with ease, the Soul Ring of this Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull was clearly extraordinary. It actually contained Evil aura.

Moreover, it was nine thousand years old. The energy within the Four Hundred Year Soul Ring he had absorbed had been immense enough to cause his body tremendous pain. How terrifying would the energy of a nine-thousand-year Soul Ring be?

Ye Yu began absorbing it. The dazzling purple Soul Ring gradually shrank, circling the Nine Spirit Black Tang in his right hand.

Master, Flender, and Tang San all watched tensely. In their hearts, they hoped it would be like before, without resentment or rejection. Otherwise, Ye Yu would be facing certain death.

At this moment, the resentment within the consciousness of the Heavenly Void Power Demon Bull's Soul Ring was terrifying. It had already believed that death was inevitable and had planned to achieve Mutual Destruction with Ye Yu when he absorbed its Soul Ring.

However, just as its extreme resentment and Evil aura began to spread, it was instantly startled!
