Its mournful roar was drowned out by the Thunder explosion, and its massive body was slammed into the mountainside like a kite with a broken string, creating a huge crater tens of meters deep in the rock face.
Amidst the flying debris, blood mist gushed from the rhinoceros's mouth and nose; its once-fierce horn was mostly broken off, and large patches of blood seeped from beneath its charred scales.
Yu Tianheng's attack was comparable to the Eighth Soul Skill of Power Attack System Soul Master, and even more powerful.
Yu Tianheng raised his hand again, his True Qi flowing continuously around him. The muscles in his right arm bulged, and his five fingers clenched in the air towards the Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon that was about to be knocked away. The Sky- Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon cried out in agony and flew backward, but just as it was about to collide with Yu Tianheng, it was suddenly frozen by an invisible force.
"Roar--!" Ice-blue binding patterns appeared all over the giant beast's body. Yu Tianheng's right hand precisely gripped the rhinoceros dragon's neck. That enormous body, which was enough to crush mountains, was now lifted up as easily as a toy in a child's hand.
Then, Yu Tianheng lightly touched the ground with his Travel by Yu Feng and cutting through the sky with the force of Thunder, swooping down towards the direction where Yu Xiaogang and the others were. Amidst the howling wind, the blood of the Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon dripped down its claws, scorching the ground and producing blue smoke.
Not far away, Yu Xiaogang, Liu Erlong, Flender, who witnessed this scene, all looked shocked.
"Who... who made this move?"
"I don't know, but to be able to severely injure Soul Beast of this level in one blow, the opponent must be Soul Douluo powerhouse of level 80 or above, and it's even possible that they are Titled Douluo," Yu Xiaogang replied.
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong and Flender felt a chill in their hearts. They never expected that they would encounter such a powerful expert simply by coming to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Soul Beast.
Furthermore, this place is in the wilderness, where there is no law or order. If this powerful figure harbors resentment and turns his anger on the three of them, it would be a huge problem!
Seeing this, Yu Xiaogang comforted them, "There's no need to be too nervous. A strong person who can cultivate to this level shouldn't be a bloodthirsty killer. As long as we are gentle, we shouldn't be met with hostility. If all else fails, we can bring up the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan as our backer. Considering that, they won't make things difficult for us."
Liu Erlong and Flender nodded in agreement.
Before long, Yu Tianheng landed. Behind him, the massive body of the Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon slammed heavily onto the ground, causing it to tremble as if an earthquake had occurred.
Yu Xiaogang's back tensed, and he, along with Flender and Liu Erlong, bowed their heads, their faces towards the ground. The three of them trembled in their hearts—any being capable of crushing a Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon with a cultivation level of 75,000 years with their bare hands must be a powerful being, and even if they had not reached the level of Titled Douluo, they must not be far from it.
Dealing with the three of them would definitely result in a crushing defeat.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaogang subconsciously slowed his breathing.
As the person approached, Yu Xiaogang was about to say something when she heard the person speak:
"Uncle, it's been a long time."
A clear, cool voice swept past his ear like a gust of wind, and Yu Xiaogang looked up abruptly as if struck by lightning.
The black-haired youth landed slowly and walked towards him. When Yu Xiaogang saw the youth's appearance clearly, he was stunned. This youth, who looked seven parts like him, was none other than his own nephew, Yu Tianheng!
"Tian... Tian Heng?" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed hoarsely, his long robe trembling violently. The person in front of him was clearly the same boy in his memory, only grown up. But just by that familiar aura, he knew that the person in front of him was his nephew Yu Tianheng.
However, he was somewhat different from what I had in mind, especially in terms of strength. Judging from the pressure emanating from him, even some Soul Douluo could not compare to him, and his aura was comparable to that of Titled Douluo.
Yu Tianheng nodded gently. "It's me, Uncle. It's been so long. How have you been?"
"I'm alright, I'm alright!"
After confirming Yu Tianheng's identity, Yu Xiaogang was extremely excited and rushed forward to greet him. At the same time, Liu Erlong and Flender also came to their senses and looked at Yu Tianheng with shocked expressions.
The powerful figure who just made the move was actually him!
But how is that possible?
Keep in mind that Yu Tianheng is only twenty years old. Even with his exceptional talent, he still needs time to accumulate experience before becoming a true powerhouse.
A mere twenty-year-old youth, with Soul Power Level of at most forty or fifty, could only barely deal with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast of average strength, and was very likely to die. But now, Yu Tianheng was able to kill the Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon with combat power comparable to Soul Douluo level with his bare hands, which was simply unbelievable.
" Tian Heng!" Liu Erlong quickly approached Yu Tianheng.
Seeing this, Yu Tianheng bowed slightly to Liu Erlong and said, "Aunt."
Liu Erlong nodded. "How did you get here? And was it really you who attacked just now, and not someone else?"
Yu Tianheng said, "It was I who made the move. I was traveling in the Star Dou Great Forest when I heard the sounds of fighting coming from here. I also sensed a familiar aura, so I thought I'd come and take a look."
"After that, I saw the three of you working together to kill this Sky -Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon, but it managed to escape. I guessed that you, Aunt Liu, had reached a bottleneck in your cultivation and needed to absorb your Eighth Soul Ring, so you stepped in to help."
As he spoke, Yu Tianheng pointed to the battered Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon behind him. "This beast took my full force. Although it's not dead yet, it's almost dead. Aunt, if you want to absorb its Soul Ring, then you should do it as soon as possible."
"Yes, Erlong, we can talk about it later. Getting the Soul Ring is the most important thing!" Flender chimed in from the side.
Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong said no more, quickly walked to the front of the Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon, and finished it off with the cleanest and most efficient means.
Before long, a black, Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring slowly rose from the corpse of the Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon.
Liu Erlong then sat cross-legged and began to circulate her Soul Power to absorb the Soul Ring.
Yu Tianheng, Yu Xiaogang, Flender acted as his protectors to prevent any accidents from happening.
Only then did the uncle and nephew have a chance to talk.
" Tian Heng, how did you end up here? And what's your strength now? Tell your uncle everything," Yu Xiaogang asked, while Flender, standing to the side, also cast a curious glance.
Yu Tianheng said, "The main purpose of my being here is to gain experience and improve my strength. As for my current Soul Power Level, it is only level 56, the Soul King stage, which is not as good as Aunt Erlong and Uncle Flender."
" The Five-Ring Soul King!"
Both of them were startled upon hearing this.
" Tian Heng, I remember you're only twenty years old this year, and you've already reached the Soul King level. You truly deserve to be called a genius with Innate Full Soul Power, a talent that comes along only once in a century. If you were given a few more years, I'm afraid we would all be surpassed by you!" Flender exclaimed.
Yu Xiaogang frowned slightly and asked in confusion, "In that case, with your strength as Five-Ring Soul King, ordinary ten- Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast are naturally no match for you, but this is Space-Rending Rhinoceros Dragon a strength of seventy-five thousand years. How did you manage to capture it?"
