Dark golden Martial Dao True Qi condensed into armor on his body, constantly colliding with the Lava Earth Dragon's attacks, sparks flying everywhere.
The Lava Earth Dragon suddenly roared, and the flames around it surged three times. Its massive body transformed into a meteor, crashing into Yu Tianheng at an illogical speed. Yu Tianheng's expression turned solemn as he formed hand seals, and a huge Martial Dao phantom appeared behind him.
This was the Dharma form " Thunder Punishment Heavenly General " that Yu Tianheng condensed Nine Heavens Divine Lightning Prison Suppression Scripture " after entering the Heavenly Human Realm.
The Dharma Image was clad in black armor Entanglement purple lightning, with nine divine halberds of judgment, swirling with lightning, floating behind him.
His eyes were like Thunder vortexes, and every time he opened them, they resonated with the heavens and earth.
When unleashed, the Dharma Form can tear the sky apart by wielding its halberd, summoning Nine Heavens Divine Lightning to bombard the enemy; the surrounding thunder domain can convert all attacks into lightning power, forming an absolute domain of "offense as defense".
If one fully integrates the Dharma Image into oneself, lightning runes will appear around the martial artist's body, each rune containing the judgmental power of "divine punishment".
Yu Tianheng raised his hand and clenched his fist, and the " Thunder Punishment Heavenly General " behind him also clenched his fist.
Then he threw a punch.
Faxiang also threw a punch, and the energy storm generated by the collision with the earth dragon swept across a radius of ten miles. Yu Tianheng was sent flying backward by this force, and countless cracks appeared in his Martial Dao armor.
The earth dragon was also in bad shape, its body covered with dark golden fist marks, its scales falling off, and its blood staining the lava below.
"The final blow!" Yu Tianheng took a deep breath, and the lightning around him materialized, forming a Martial Dao spear made of Thunder in his hand.
He stepped into the void and thrust his spear towards the earth dragon's heart with the force of Thunder. The earth dragon struggled in its death throes, its tail sweeping across, but a resolute glint flashed in Yu Tianheng's eyes, and his spear pierced through the earth dragon's defenses, striking its vital point.
The earth dragon let out a mournful cry and collapsed to the ground. Yu Tianheng staggered to the earth dragon's corpse, and without bothering to heal his wounds, immediately sat down cross-legged to absorb the Soul Ring.
A black Soul Ring slowly rose and merged into his body. Powerful energy surged through his meridians, and Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth, guiding this power.
After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling purple light erupted from Yu Tianheng's body, and his sixth Soul Ring slowly appeared. He slowly opened his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in them. "Finally broke through to the Six-Ring Soul Emperor! This battle was worth it!"
Originally, Yu Tianheng wanted to emulate the protagonist Tang San and get a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring to play with when he was a Six-Ring Soul Emperor. Unfortunately, the conditions did not allow it. No Soul Beast was willing to sacrifice itself for him, so he could only absorb it himself. However, his current body could not withstand the pressure of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, so he had to give up and absorb a 60,000-year Soul Ring instead.
However, once his Soul Power Level reaches 70 and he absorbs his Seventh Soul Ring, he might be able to try absorbing Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
Yu Tianheng had already identified his target: the Sky Azure Bull Python, located in the Lake of Life at the very center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
This is a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast with dragon bloodline, which is compatible with Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
In a few years, the Spirit Hall will send Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along with a large number of elite Spirit Hall Soul Master and the Golden Generation, to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt down the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. I can go with them and take advantage of the chaos to try and kill the Sky Azure Bull Python ahead of time and absorb its Soul Ring. If all else fails, I can call on Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo. At worst, the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone that drops after the kill will belong to them.
However, there was no rush at the moment. After absorbing the Soul Ring, Yu Tianheng turned his gaze to the corpse of the Lava Earth Dragon lying to the side. Although the greatest use of this kind of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was to provide Soul Ring for Soul Master, once the Soul Ring was absorbed by the Soul Master, it was not of much use and would most likely be discarded and devoured by other Soul Beast.
However, in Yu Tianheng's view, its function is far more than that. The energy inside Soul Beast of this level is incredibly abundant. For example, its heart has a huge amount of Bloodline Power. If it can be extracted and refined, it will be of great benefit to Martial Dao cultivation, but it will not be very effective for Soul Master. So Yu Tianheng immediately took action.
Yu Tianheng walked over the scorched rocks to the Lava Earth Dragon's corpse, the air thick with the smell of sulfur and blood. His long hair was whipped up by the heat rising from the ground, and his black outfit was covered in dust and blood.
"Roar--" Even in death, the earth dragon's residual pressure still trembled the air. Its massive, mountain-like body lay across the ravines where lava flowed, and beneath its charred scales, a dark red, lava-like glow was faintly visible.
Yu Tianheng's pupils contracted, his gaze fixed like a hawk on the slightly rising and falling part of the earth dragon's chest—there, a heart containing immense Bloodline Power was still beating its last.
"Open!" he roared, his Soul Power surging towards his right arm like a tidal wave. In an instant, azure dragon scales rapidly grew from beneath the panel, his arm bones emitted a teeth-grinding crackling sound, and his right hand transformed into a dragon claw covered in barbs, its fingertips flashing with Thunder power. The air around the claw twisted into vortexes. Wherever the dragon claw passed, rocks crumbled inch by inch, and the sweltering heat from the ground was suppressed by this chilling aura.
Yu Tianheng flashed forward, his dragon claw precisely piercing the gaps in the earth dragon's scales.
The defense of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is terrifying. Even after death, its scales remain as hard as steel. However, under the pressure of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, it cracked upon contact with the beast, unable to withstand the pressure.
The dragon claw continued to penetrate deeper, and dark red blood gushed out, splashing onto Yu Tianheng's body like molten lava, scorching his skin, but it did not shake him in the slightest.
Finally, the dragon's claw touched the burning, pulsating heart. The earth dragon's remaining beastly soul roared, its dying power surging wildly within it, causing the entire canyon to tremble.
Veins bulged on Yu Tianheng's forehead, and the lightning power on his dragon claws surged wildly, blue-purple arcs of electricity coursing through his flesh, numbing the earth dragon's last breath. He roared, unleashing his full Soul Power, and yanked his dragon claws out—
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the heart of the Lava Earth Dragon, encased in flesh and blood, was forcibly ripped out.
The surface of the heart is covered with blood vessels like a spider web, and with each beat, it gushes out a jet of hot blood mist, instantly turning the air dark red.
Yu Tianheng swiftly retrieved the jade box and carefully placed the struggling heart inside. The moment the jade box closed, a powerful energy wave spread out, causing the magma within a ten-zhang radius to boil violently.
Yu Tianheng let out a long sigh of relief, and his Dragon Transformation right arm gradually returned to its original state. He gripped the jade box tightly, feeling the surging Bloodline Power within it, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes—this heart brimming with blood and qi, if refined, would provide him with a crucial step in breaking through his Martial Dao bottleneck.
Besides its heart, the Lava Earth Dragon's blood, scales, flesh, and bones are also invaluable treasures.
