A violent burst of Thunder erupted from the gun barrel, purple electric light instantly spreading across the python's scales like a spiderweb. The male Giant Venomous Python roared in pain and lashed out with its tail, but the impact only made the gun barrel vibrate even more. The spear tip, embedded in the tailbone, not only remained motionless but also unleashed an even more intense current, scorching the foul-smelling venomous blood into white smoke. The snake's tail convulsed violently in the electric light, and the flying shards of stone were charred black by the lightning's force.
It stared at Yu Tianheng in disbelief, its lantern-sized eyes filled with confusion. Wasn't this person supposed to have exhausted his Soul Power and been killed by my tail? How is he still alive? And he even possesses terrifying power.
Yu Tianheng pressed one knee against the python's tail, which was pinned down by the Purple Lightning Spear, and suddenly raised his other hand in a hand seal towards the sky.
In an instant, the profound patterns of the " Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Prison Suppression Scripture " exploded in his palm, and the dark clouds above his head surged like ink, tearing open a thunder cave more than ten feet wide out of thin air—purple heavenly lightning roared down like a mad dragon, striking the Giant Venomous Python's raised head directly.
Before the giant python could even utter its screams, the second and third bolts of lightning rained down like a barrage of bullets.
Yu Tianheng Entanglement lightning bolts, his eyes cold and devoid of any warmth. He let the python's tail slap the ground, cracking it, but instead bent down, gripped the Purple Lightning Spear, and spun it fiercely. The moment the spear tip pried open the python's scales, his left hand formed a claw and slammed into the wound on the snake's tail.
"Sizzle--"
Amidst the crackling of lightning, he actually tore off a large piece of the python's skin, which was covered in venomous glands, with brute force, and blood mixed with venom gushed out.
The giant python, in pain, tried to coil its body, but he flicked his finger, and several bolts of lightning energy pierced through the python's tail meridians along the gun. With a few crisp "crack" sounds, the tailbone supporting the python's body was shattered inch by inch by the force of the lightning.
Yu Tianheng stepped on the severed end of the python's tail, and the Purple Lightning Spear rose like a scythe of death, drawing an arc in the python's terrified vertical pupils—the spear tip did not pierce a vital spot, but instead viciously stabbed along the seams of the python's belly scales, accompanied by a teeth-grinding tearing sound, as poisonous internal organs mixed with blood spurted out.
He didn't even bother to summon the heavenly lightning again, abandoning his gun and using his claws to tear apart the giant python's remaining torso like ripping cloth. The foul-smelling python tendons were forcibly peeled from the bones and were still twitching when they were thrown to the ground.
In just a moment, the once ferocious and intimidating Giant Venomous Python leader had been torn to pieces.
Yu Tianheng stood in the center of the pool of blood, his black robes stained with purplish-black poisonous blood, and drops of what appeared to be blood or venom dripping from his hair. He held a still-steaming python gall in his hand, and a cold, almost insane smile curled at the corner of his mouth. The power of Thunder around him slowly receded, but it made his eyes appear even more sinister than the python's fangs.
Not far away, Dugu Bo, who was rushing along frantically, was riding on the back of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor when he suddenly felt lightning explode in the sky. Purple lightning bolts fell to the ground like pillars, causing ripples in the air.
His pupils constricted sharply—such domineering and terrifying lightning fluctuations could only be unmatched by any other master in the world besides the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Soul Master.
However, the ability to draw upon the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder with one's own Soul Power is a level that only Titled Douluo can achieve.
Could it be the old dragon?
It's not impossible. Yu Tianheng is the old dragon's most valued junior. He suddenly had the idea to come to Sunset Forest to take a look, and then saw his grandson in danger and took timely action. That's quite normal.
If that's the case, then I can rest assured.
After all, with that old dragon's strength, he could fight even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so dealing with Soul Beast that was only a few tens of thousands of years old would be a piece of cake.
However, just to be on the safe side, Dugu Bo decided to go and check it out himself.
Immediately, the poisonous mist surged within Dugu Bo's sleeve, urging the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor to accelerate rapidly, its dark green shadow slicing through the dense forest like an arrow released from a bow.
The closer he got to the thunder, the stronger the stench of poison permeated the air, mixed with the smell of burning and the faint sound of bones cracking, making his brow twitch.
As he broke through the last thorn, the scene before him made him abruptly stop in his tracks—
Where was Lao Long at the scene?
It was clearly only Yu Tianheng.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng stood in the middle of the pool of blood, his black robes soaked in purplish-black poisonous blood. In his hand, he was holding half of a still twitching python tendon, and in his other hand, he was using Purple Lightning Spear to hold the head of the Giant Venomous Python, whose eyes had been burned into charred holes by lightning and fire.
What made his eyelids twitch even more was that the giant python's body had been torn into several pieces, its poisonous internal organs were scattered all over the ground, and even most of its skin had been peeled off, hanging bloodily on a nearby tree branch, with bluish-purple venom still seeping from between its scales.
Yu Tianheng seemed to sense the commotion and turned to look. It was unclear whether the droplets on his hair were blood or poison. The murderous aura in his eyes, combined with the bloody stench emanating from his body, made him look more like a demon than the Giant Venomous Python before him.
Having lived most of his life and seen all sorts of bloody scenes, Dugu Bo couldn't help but swallow hard at this moment.
Even the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Avatar shrank back, clearly shocked by the ferocious scene.
"Yu... Yu Tianheng, are you alright?" Dugu Bo asked.
Yu Tianheng casually tossed aside an unidentified fleshy organ from the male Giant Venomous Python leader he was holding, then waved his hand, "It's alright, senior, go check on Yanyan first. I need to rest a bit."
Dugu Bo said no more and quickly walked towards the place where Dugu Yan had absorbed the Soul Ring.
Yu Tianheng let out a deep breath and collapsed to the ground. In order to kill the male Giant Venomous Python leader, he had instantly unleashed all his power by circulating the Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Prison Suppression Scripture. Although he successfully killed it, he had also exhausted his strength.
I am utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Just then, the system issued a notification: "Congratulations, host, for slaying the 70,000-year-old Giant Venomous Python. You have been rewarded with 7,000 Heavenly Mandate Points and a Giant Venomous Python Left Arm Bone has dropped. Please remember to pick it up."
Upon hearing that a Soul Bone had fallen, Yu Tianheng's eyes widened suddenly.
In the world of the Douluo Continent, Soul Bone are extremely rare treasures, and their numbers are very few.
Generally speaking, Soul Bone are produced by powerful Soul Beast that die under special circumstances, with a probability of only one in a thousand or even lower, unlike Soul Ring, which appear every time a Soul Beast dies.
Any Soul Bone, even an ordinary Soul Bone, can bring a huge boost to Soul Master's attributes.
Soul Bone produced by Soul Beast aged 10,000 years or less come with one skill, while Soul Bone produced by Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast come with at least two skills. Soul Bone also have the ability to grow, and are not limited by the age of the Soul Beast that produced them; they will evolve as the Soul Master's strength increases.
In the Soul Master World, if Soul Master of the same realm has an extra Soul Bone, they may have an advantage. Soul Bone can even become Soul Master's trump card for survival.
Therefore, Soul Bone are extremely valuable and scarce. They can be traded in certain special places, but the quantity is very limited and demand far exceeds supply. On the black market, murders are commonplace in the struggle for Soul Bone.
Two powerful kingdoms once waged war over a 20,000-year-old Soul Bone, which is why the Soul Bone is also known as the " Blood River Treasure ".
