"Immune to physical attacks?"
"In that case, Ninth Soul Skill! Soul-Shattering Heaven-Slaying Roar!"
Mighty Lion Douluo unleashed his ninth Soul Skill again. The Blazing Lion roared furiously, sending a shock wave of sound shooting toward the Soft Bone Rabbit!
"Everyone, use every nonphysical Soul Skill you have to attack this soul beast!"
Seizing this opening, Mighty Lion Douluo ordered the other Titled Douluo.
"Third Soul Skill! Poisonous Blazing Fire!"
"Fifth Soul Skill! Ice-Congealing Breath!"
"Eighth Soul Skill! Returning-to-Silence Blood Eye!"
The instant Mighty Lion Douluo's ninth Soul Skill immobilized the Soft Bone Rabbit, several attacks immediately struck her.
The Soft Bone Rabbit suffered grievous injuries in an instant!
"Hmph! Even if you're a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, don't dream of escaping an encirclement of so many Titled Douluo!"
Mighty Lion Douluo gave a loud, triumphant snort.
Meanwhile, in the outside world, everyone watching Spirit Hall on the verge of killing two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could not help looking envious.
"Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts! I wouldn't dare dream of having a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring."
"Ah, it's easy to enjoy the shade with a great tree at your back. Qian Xunji is only getting his sixth Soul Ring, yet Spirit Hall sent so many people to help him hunt for it. He really was born lucky!"
Off to the side, Xiao Wu watched the Soft Bone Rabbit get injured on the screen in the sky and instinctively clutched her chest, feeling a wrenching pain there!
"A hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit soul beast... is that Mom?"
On the screen in the sky, the injured Soft Bone Rabbit's speed and attack power had both fallen drastically. Under the encirclement of the Titled Douluo, she was already hanging by a thread.
Just then, the Soft Bone Rabbit's presence suddenly changed, and the sky changed as well. Dark clouds slowly gathered.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Sensing the change, Mighty Lion Douluo looked up at the sky.
Seeing lightning begin to flicker within the dark clouds, Mighty Lion Douluo immediately had a bad feeling.
Could this be...
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning suddenly struck the ground, instantly splitting a large tree.
"This is bad! It's a soul beast heavenly tribulation!"
"This Soft Bone Rabbit wants to use us to share the burden of her heavenly tribulation!"
Mighty Lion Douluo realized what was happening, and his expression changed at once.
"Everyone, take the Angel Unicorn and retreat immediately!"
At Mighty Lion Douluo's shout, the Titled Douluo reacted and immediately rushed toward the Angel Unicorn.
The Soft Bone Rabbit tried to step forward to stop them, but Mighty Lion Douluo appeared in an instant and blocked her.
Several Titled Douluo seized the Angel Unicorn and swiftly left.
Rumble!
Thunder kept rumbling overhead, and the Soft Bone Rabbit grew increasingly panicked. She had originally intended to use her heavenly tribulation to save the Angel Unicorn while also making these human Soul Masters share its burden.
But she had never expected them to see through her plan so quickly!
Boom!
A tribulation lightning bolt blasted toward the Soft Bone Rabbit, catching Mighty Lion Douluo, who was blocking her, within its range as well.
Mighty Lion Douluo immediately distanced himself from the Soft Bone Rabbit and hurriedly unleashed a Soul Skill.
"Eighth Soul Skill! Martial Soul Avatar, Blazing Lion!"
The Blazing Lion appeared above Mighty Lion Douluo's head and clashed head-on with the tribulation lightning.
Boom!
A tremendous explosion and a shock wave of energy rippled outward. Mighty Lion Douluo was sent flying backward, his armor damaged and blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
This soul beast's heavenly tribulation was actually this terrifying!
"Retreat!"
Mighty Lion Douluo turned and left without hesitation.
The Soft Bone Rabbit, who had also been blasted away by the tribulation lightning, now had a charred patch amid her smooth fur.
Mighty Lion Douluo had shared part of the lightning tribulation's burden just now, so the damage the Soft Bone Rabbit suffered was not severe.
However, with Mighty Lion Douluo and the others withdrawing, she could now only withstand this heavenly tribulation alone.
Rumble!
Rolling thunder brewed within the dark clouds. The next second, with a crack, a bolt of lightning struck.
The Soft Bone Rabbit resisted with all her strength, yet this tribulation lightning still tore her skin and flesh open!
If the Soft Bone Rabbit had not been injured earlier and had the help of other soul beasts, she would certainly have had no problem surviving this lightning tribulation.
But the crucial point now was that she was already injured. Under this lightning tribulation, there was no doubt that she would die.
Now that the heavenly tribulation had descended, the other soul beasts in the Soul Beast Forest fled in all directions out of instinctive fear.
In the inner region, atop a tree canopy, fierce winds blew through the hair of Qian Xunji and his two companions. Feeling the lightning tribulation bearing the might of heaven and earth, all three wore grave expressions.
This was also Yue Guan and Gui Mei's first time witnessing a soul beast heavenly tribulation.
"This heavenly tribulation is actually this terrifying. I really don't know how those hundred-thousand-year soul beasts survived such lightning tribulations."
Yue Guan murmured to himself.
At that moment, a tremor traveled up from the ground into the canopy. Startled, the three looked down, only to see countless soul beasts fleeing beneath them.
"What's going on?"
Yue Guan asked, his face full of shock.
"The heavenly tribulation must have disturbed the soul beasts in the Soul Beast Forest, creating a small beast tide!"
Gui Mei answered gravely from beside him.
"Luckily, we're in the trees. Those soul beasts below..."
Yue Guan looked relieved, but before he could finish, a piercing cry rang out. The three looked up, only to see a vast flock of flying soul beasts appearing in the sky as well.
The flock then spotted the three standing atop the canopy.
Out of hatred for Soul Masters, the flying soul beasts attacked them directly!
"Protect the young master!"
"Third Soul Skill! Aura Barrier!"
Yue Guan unleashed his Soul Skill while shouting to Gui Mei.
"Old Ghost, I'll hold off these soul beasts! Hurry and protect the young master as he leaves!"
"All right!"
"Young master, I'll protect you as we retreat!"
Qian Xunji also knew the situation was critical, so he immediately retreated with Gui Mei.
Seeing this, the flock of flying soul beasts immediately split off a group to pursue them.
There was no shortage of ten-thousand-year soul beasts among this group of flying soul beasts. Yue Guan saw it all, but could only intercept as many as possible.
Even so, several soul beasts still gave chase.
"Young master, be careful!"
As Gui Mei called out a warning, he abruptly turned around.
"First Soul Skill! Giant Transformation Ghost Hand!"
Gui Mei's hands instantly grew larger. With swift sweeps, he sent several black claw blades shooting toward the pursuing soul beasts.
The flying soul beasts attacked as well, beating their wings to whip up wind blades or hurricanes. Some could even unleash lightning.
Screech!
A cry rang out as a massive bird flew in from the distance, a violent force gathering in its mouth.
The next second, a ball of light brimming with electric radiance shot toward Gui Mei and Qian Xunji.
"Young master, go! I'll hold these soul beasts off!"
"Seventh Soul Skill! Black Prison Ghost Armor!"
Gui Mei stopped, turned, and charged toward the approaching flock of soul beasts.
"Be careful!"
Qian Xunji left him with that warning, then swiftly retreated ahead.
Meanwhile, within the heavenly tribulation in the inner region, the hundred-thousand-year Soft Bone Rabbit was already drenched in blood, her white bones exposed.
Seeing that she could not withstand this heavenly tribulation, a trace of resolve flashed through the Soft Bone Rabbit's large, bright eyes. Then Soul Power surged out and enveloped her, and within its glow,
the Soft Bone Rabbit's shape began to change.
As the glow of Soul Power faded, the original Soft Bone Rabbit had vanished, replaced by a human body.
Pale, slender human legs, black hair cascading down to her waist and covering a large expanse of skin on her back, with only a little Soul Power radiance concealing her chest and private parts.
At that moment, the Soft Bone Rabbit chose to take human form!
