The two continued their search, but their luck ran out the next day. Although they encountered quite a few decent Soul Beast, they didn't meet another top-tier Soul Beast like the Iron Armored Thorn Dragon.
As night fell, Yang Zhentian became even more cautious, barely resting and focusing all his Divine Power on his surroundings, fearing any unforeseen events.
On the third day, the two were walking in a dense forest when suddenly a bear roared in the distance, followed by a tiger's howl. It seemed that a bear and a tiger were fighting.
Moreover, these two voices were extraordinary. The bear's roar seemed to contain extremely powerful Soul Power, which made so many people's ears go deaf. Clearly, this was a Soul Beast that was well over ten thousand years old, probably no less than thirty thousand years old.
The tiger's roar, on the other hand, possessed the aura of the king of beasts. Although its Soul Power seemed inferior to that of the bear's roar, its aura seemed to contain something stronger, as if it could break through defenses and even restrict resistance.
"Dad, both of these voices are quite extraordinary. Let's go take a look."
Yang Zhentian seemed a little hesitant. " Podi, we probably don't need to go check on them. Judging from the condition of these two Soul Beast, they are at least ten thousand years old. You can't absorb Soul Beast of this level for the time being."
Yang Podi seemed somewhat unwilling. "Let's go take a look first. At worst, we'll just have to stay far away."
Seeing his son's expression, Yang Zhentian knew that his son had been a bit impatient these past few days, so he finally led Yang Podi quickly toward the location of the bear's roar and the tiger's howl.
When the two quietly approached the battlefield, they were both taken aback.
A gigantic Great Strength Vajra Bear roared at the sky. The Great Strength Vajra Bear was over 20 meters tall, and according to the lifespan of bear-type Soul Beast, this Great Strength Vajra Bear was probably around 40,000 years old.
In the air was a winged tiger. The tiger's entire body was silver-gray, covered with thick fur that looked like steel needles. Its wings were even more astonishing; instead of fur, they were covered with individual silver-gray feathers, each feather gleaming with a metallic sheen, as if they were forged from fine iron.
Yang Podi was immediately very excited and whispered to his father, "Dad, Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle, this is Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle."
" Podi, not bad, this is Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle, but this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle is over 10,000 years old."
Yang Zhentian's expression was somewhat solemn as he carefully observed the battle between the two Soul Beast before him.
It must be said that this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle is extremely powerful. Even though it is only a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, it is not at a disadvantage in the face of a 40,000-year-old Great Strength Vajra Bear.
The Great Strength Vajra Bear is also a top-tier Soul Beast, covered in thick scales. Its strength and defense are particularly impressive, making it a very high-level Soul Beast. It is difficult to defeat other Soul Beast of the same level.
In the original novel, Zhao Wuji, a teacher at the Shrek Academy, possessed the Great Strength Vajra Bear as his Martial Soul. It was incredibly powerful in both strength and defense, and during his Soul Emperor period, it was even able to break through the defenses of 16 Soul Emperor, demonstrating its formidable combat prowess.
But this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle was not at all inferior, especially in terms of strength, which was no less than that of the Great Strength Vajra Bear. Moreover, with its huge wings, it looked very agile, a perfect combination of strength and agility.
Moreover, the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle in front of us strikes with perfect timing and accuracy. Almost every time it dives, its massive claws grab the back of the Great Strength Vajra Bear, leaving a huge scratch. Clearly, if the fight continues, the Great Strength Vajra Bear will likely lose.
"Dad, just how old is this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle? Is it over ten thousand years old?"
Because the two Soul Beast had a wide fighting range, and the two were still quite far away from them, Yang Podi Soul Beast unable to perfectly observe the exact age of the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle.
"This Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle should be about twelve meters long, and each of its wingspans is twenty meters. This is estimated to be around 12,000 years old, no more than 13,000 years old."
Yang Podi lit up with excitement upon hearing this. "Dad, I'm going to make this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle my Fourth Soul Ring!"
"Son, you need to think this through. The Fourth Soul Ring requires facing a soul impact. Just a few days ago, you couldn't even handle the soul attack of a ten-thousand-year-old Silver Moon Fox. Absorbing this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle will cause your spirit to collapse. Besides, although your physical strength can barely absorb Soul Beast close to ten thousand years old, this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle is a top-grade Soul Beast, far exceeding your absorption capacity."
"Dad, you should try to track down this Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle first. I should be able to absorb it in a couple of days."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhentian felt a sense of doubt. No matter how much his son became stronger, it was impossible for him to improve both his body and soul to such a high level in such a short time.
Meanwhile, the battlefield between the two Soul Beast was a scene of utter devastation. The Great Strength Vajra Bear was clearly doomed and seemed to be showing signs of retreating. Soul Beast of this level were extremely difficult to kill.
Seeing his son's resolute expression, Yang Zhentian knew that his son had made up his mind, so he had no choice but to play along and see what measures he would take.
Meanwhile, the Great Strength Vajra Bear had already begun to run quickly towards the forest, raising clouds of dust all over the ground.
Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle, unwilling to let the Great Strength Vajra Bear escape, intensified its attack.
As the two Soul Beast were chasing each other, Yang Zhentian told his son to hide, then quietly flew close to the path the two Soul Beast were on and waited patiently.
As the two Soul Beast passed Yang Zhentian's hiding place, and as the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle swooped down to grab the Great Strength Vajra Bear, Yang Zhentian's Martial Soul, the Soul Breaking Spear, suddenly appeared, along with eight Soul Ring. A black Soul Ring on the Soul Breaking Spear flashed, and taking advantage of the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle's inattention, he quickly thrust the Soul Breaking Spear Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle.
Because Yang Zhentian's attack was very sudden, and the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle's attention was entirely focused on the Great Strength Vajra Bear in front of it, it couldn't dodge in time. By the time the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle reacted, the Soul Breaking Spear was already very close to it.
It must be said that the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle is indeed very powerful, possessing both the bravery of tiger-type Soul Beast and the agility of eagle-type Soul Beast. In that instant, it forcibly twisted its body, barely avoiding the attack on its vital points.
Yang Zhentian was, after all, a high-level Soul Douluo. How could he so easily dodge a full-force attack? Although the spear did not hit a vital spot, it did strike Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle's left shoulder. A huge penetrating wound appeared on Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle's left shoulder, bleeding profusely, clearly indicating a very serious injury.
But at this moment, the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle roared, flapped its wings, and quickly flew into the sky, its speed even faster than Yang Zhentian's.
Although Yang Zhentian was Soul Douluo, he was still a bit slower than this kind of top-grade flying Soul Beast. Moreover, his goal this time was only to lock onto the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle, not to kill it, so he did not go all out to chase it or launch continuous attacks. Otherwise, the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle would have had a hard time escaping.
Yang Zhentian ignored the direction the Iron-Feathered Tiger Eagle flew off to and quickly left with his son, since there was a 40,000-year-old Great Strength Vajra Bear nearby.
