Lost Track Grand Canyon
"Within the Lost Track Grand Canyon reside three great kings and two clans. The three great kings are the Dark Phoenix, the Wasteland Wolf King, and the Dark Blue Horned Dragon King. All three are Soul Beast over 100,000 years old, and the strongest among them is the Dark Phoenix. You should have heard this little girl from the Undying Sect mention that in your Nine Heavens Rainbow Phoenix Clan of the Lower Three Sects, the most talented and powerful person of each generation, when advancing to the Titled Douluo, would choose to hunt down the Dark Phoenix for their ninth Soul Ring. Unfortunately, as far as I know, no one has ever succeeded. That Dark Phoenix is too powerful."
On the way to the Lost Track Grand Canyon, Bibi Dong looked at the most outstanding young generation of the Spirit Hall, especially Yu Tianshuang. Although she didn't want to say much, she still began to explain.
"Your Soul Power has reached level 50, and the Dark Blue Horned Dragon is the most suitable Soul Beast for you. Of course, you lot shouldn't think that you can rest easy just because I'm with you. I will only take action when I'm helping Yu Tianshuang hunt Soul Beast. Otherwise, even if you die in front of me, I won't lift a finger."
After hearing Bibi Dong's words, the group fell silent. Since Bibi Dong made the arrangements yesterday, they had also been busy researching a lot of information about the Lost Track Grand Canyon. In addition to the two major groups living there, the environment of the Lost Track Grand Canyon itself was extremely harsh and dangerous. It was shrouded in black mist all year round and was the favorite place for creatures with dark attributes.
Although my Fourth Soul Ring is Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, it wasn't entirely absorbed through my own abilities; it had a lot to do with Senior Ice Empress. If I were to encounter that Dark Blue Horned Dragon King, would Bibi Dong be its match? With my current physical strength and Divine Power, would I be able to absorb a 100,000-year Soul Ring?
"Alright, little ones, go down. Your goal is to stay here for three years and hone your skills. Except for once a month when you can come out to resupply, you must stay in the canyon the rest of the time. Of course, whether you cultivate, hide, or fight to the death to improve yourselves is up to you. I've shown you the way, but how you choose to go is up to you. Yu Tianshuang, come with me. My time is limited. I'll take you directly to the territory of the Dark Blue Horned Dragon Clan."
"This... His Holiness the Pope just said... Shh!!!"
Yan thought Bibi Dong would stay with them the whole time, but when they arrived at their destination, she just abandoned them. Luckily, Xie Yue quickly stopped her, otherwise Bibi Dong would have heard and given him another scolding.
"Your Fourth Soul Ring is 100,000 years old, which means your physical strength and Divine Power are extremely strong. If you can find that Dark Blue Horned Dragon King, I will help you hunt it down. Unfortunately, that beast is very cunning and has the advantage of terrain in this place. Once it senses the aura of a strong person, it can't be found at all."
In fact, the attributes of the Dark Blue Horned Dragon King were very compatible with her Martial Soul. She had come here many times, intending to turn the Dark Blue Horned Dragon King into her own Soul Ring and Soul Bone, but unfortunately she had never found it.
"I'm not sure if I can truly absorb a 100,000-year-old Soul Ring. My Fourth Soul Ring is somewhat special; it wasn't absorbed entirely by my own ability."
Upon hearing that Bibi Dong truly intended to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast for him, Yu Tianshuang felt a surge of warmth towards this strong yet fragile woman. However, after some thought, she decided to tell the truth.
"I see. Okay then. I was just saying. I've been searching for this Soul Beast for a long time. It would be great if I encountered it, but there's no need to force it if I don't."
Stepping on the Heavenly Frost Cold Qi, Yu Tianshuang followed the familiar Bibi Dong and soon arrived at the territory of the Dark Blue Horned Dragon clan. The Dark Blue Horned Dragon clan was not numerous, unlike the vast swarms of Wasteland Wolf that could be seen upon arriving at the Lost Track Grand Canyon, but over the years, their numbers were still quite considerable.
As dragon beasts, even newly born cubs have 500 years of cultivation, and at this time, only on the outskirts of the clan, mature beings over 5,000 years old can be seen everywhere.
Flying a little further, they encountered almost entirely Dark Blue Horned Dragon with cultivation levels of over ten thousand years. Bibi Dong suddenly revealed a hint of surprise, hovering in the air and using her Divine Power to probe them. Soon, a trace of disappointment appeared on her face, but she quickly let it go.
"That cowardly turtle must have sensed my presence. I clearly felt it just now, but now it's disappeared again. Sigh. But luckily, I found a Dark Blue Horned Dragon that's around 60,000 years old. It should be perfect as your fifth Soul Ring. With your physical abilities, there shouldn't be any risks in absorbing it."
After saying that, he summoned his Martial Soul, and with an astonishing aura and a hint of anger, he vented all his anger on the 60,000-year-old Dark Blue Horned Dragon. Without even using his Soul Skill, he swung his pair of sharp spider arms and slashed at it wantonly.
"What are you standing there for? Come down and find out what it is."
Having vented her frustration, Bibi Dong stepped on the dying Dark Blue Horned Dragon with her long, straight legs and spoke to Yu Tianshuang, who was staring in disbelief in mid-air.
With almost no hindrance, Yu Tianshuang absorbed the Soul Ring of the 60,000-year-old Dark Blue Horned Dragon in just a few minutes. A black Soul Ring appeared around her body, and her Soul Power Level also rose to level 52.
"Very good. Generally speaking, most Soul Master who can absorb Soul Ring of 50,000 years or more do so when breaking through to the Soul Saint level. A small number of geniuses can absorb Soul Ring of 50,000 years or more even when they are Soul Emperor. This is the first time I've seen this. You, a Soul King, absorbed Soul Ring of 60,000 years so easily and simply. Very good."
According to the Spirit Hall, including the known theories of the Soul Master's absorption of Soul Ring in the Douluo Continent, to successfully absorb a 50,000-year Soul Ring, a genius would generally need to break through to the Soul Saint level. Yu Tianshuang, however, absorbed a 60,000-year Soul Ring after only breaking through to the Soul King level, and without any difficulty at all, which made Bibi Dong very happy.
"Thank you, Your His Holiness the Pope. After absorbing the Soul Ring ring of this Dark Blue Horned Dragon with 60,000 years of cultivation, my Soul Power Level has increased to level 52. The Fifth Soul Skill it granted me is also very suitable for me. It is called Frost Dragon Charging Horn Break, a powerful ice-attribute attack. In addition to the frost attribute that my Martial Soul has, it also has the attribute of armor penetration, which is very effective against enemies with high defense."
Having said that, he summoned the Frost Dragon Martial Soul, his legs and feet instantly Dragon Transformation. Then, the newly absorbed black Soul Ring appeared. Yu Tianshuang gathered power in his hands, and a miniature phantom of a single-horned dragon head appeared. He then pushed it forward violently, and the phantom of the single-horned dragon head in his hands rapidly grew larger until it became a dragon shadow that looked exactly like the Dark Blue Horned Dragon, only its color was ice blue. Then, it slammed into the wall of the Lost Track Grand Canyon.
"Boom!"
The momentum was incredibly imposing. When the dust settled, a huge crater about ten meters deep appeared on the wall of the Esoteric Sect Grand Canyon. Yu Tianshuang looked at the crater and was very satisfied with the power of this new Fifth Soul Skill. The charging time was short, but the power was almost comparable to the Momentary Splendor" skill with two sword intents. If she used the Eternal Frozen Domain and added the Ice Emperor's Blessing and Ring Fusion, the power would probably be enough to face Liu Erlong and the others' Martial Soul Fusion Skill head-on without having to use the Ice Emperor Armor to withstand it.
