Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring

"What is that?"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark herself was only twenty meters long. Looking at the wooden man over twenty meters tall before her, she felt a jolt of alarm.

The wooden man kicked up great sheets of spray as it ran, its simply carved wooden face utterly expressionless. It suddenly turned sideways and slammed its shoulder into the Demon Soul Great White Shark.

Bang-

The Demon Soul Great White Shark was sent flying, finally landing at the edge of the pool.

Splash-

A curtain of water more than ten meters high rose into the air.

Jun Yan took a few steps after her, then slammed both palms against the ground.

Two enormous vines abruptly grew from the ground and reached for the Demon Soul Great White Shark, while the giant wooden man followed close behind.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark had barely surfaced when the two vines wrapped tightly around her tail.

Seeing the wooden man's palm drawing closer, the great white shark whipped her head around and bit at the vines on her tail.

With a series of crunches, the Demon Soul Great White Shark's sharp teeth shredded the vines. Then she bit at the wooden palm swatting toward her.

Her bite landed squarely, taking the giant wooden palm into her mouth.

But if the Wood Dragon was as hard as rock, the wooden man was as hard as steel. Otherwise, Jun Yan would not have needed to build up his strength before releasing it.

Even using all her strength, the Demon Soul Great White Shark could only leave dozens of closely packed tooth marks on the wooden man's arm.

The wooden man was only a tree brought forth by Soul Power and felt no pain. As soon as its palm was caught, it used its other hand to pry open the Demon Soul Great White Shark's jaws.

The two vines the Demon Soul Great White Shark had bitten apart did not die. Instead, under Jun Yan's control, they grew thicker and harder, finally twisting together into a new Wood Dragon.

While the wooden man and the great white shark were locked in a stalemate, the Wood Dragon wound its way up her body, then tightened suddenly, binding her fast. It opened its jaws and bit down on the Demon Soul Great White Shark's back.

"Hiss!"

The Demon Soul Great White Shark roared. The Wood Dragon had bitten the very wound Qian Jun Douluo had inflicted earlier, and the pain of the new injury and the old left her whole body limp.

Sensing the Demon Soul Great White Shark's bite weakening, the wooden man immediately put more force into its hands, actually prying her jaws open.

The wooden man pulled its hand from the shark's mouth, then clasped both hands together, raised them high overhead, and smashed them down on the Demon Soul Great White Shark's head.

Boom-

The Demon Soul Great White Shark took a heavy blow to the head and was driven straight into the water.

The Wood Dragon wrapped around her body immediately dragged her back out. By now, her head was spinning. Only a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast's thick hide and tenacious vitality had kept her from dying long ago.

The wooden man raised its two enormous fists and hammered the Demon Soul Great White Shark again and again, sending blood spraying everywhere.

Suddenly, a glimmer of clarity appeared in the Demon Soul Great White Shark's eyes. She opened her jaws, and a powerful burst of blue energy erupted, blasting the wooden man away.

Immediately afterward, a deep-blue light emerged from the Demon Soul Great White Shark's body, and she slowly rose into the air. The wooden man tried to approach, only to find that the water in the pool seemed to have solidified, making it unable to advance a single step.

A bloody light shone in the Demon Soul Great White Shark's eyes, and the blue light around her grew brighter and brighter, soon becoming somewhat dazzling.

Is she trying to self-destruct? Jun Yan understood. But it won't be that easy.

With a thought from Jun Yan, the Sixth Soul Ring behind him immediately flashed.

The Wood Dragon wrapped around the Demon Soul Great White Shark immediately broke apart into two vines again. Countless rootlets grew from them and rapidly burrowed into the wounds on her body, flashing with green light.

The intense blue light around the Demon Soul Great White Shark dimmed almost immediately, while the vines were dyed blue by her Soul Power.

With both palms pressed to the ground, Jun Yan felt a rich stream of Soul Power pass from the ground through his hands and into his body. Compared with his own Soul Power, it lacked purity but was more than abundant.

And so, the brighter the light around the Demon Soul Great White Shark grew, the stronger the vines' suction became, and the more Soul Power flowed into Jun Yan's body.

Fortunately, the Demon Soul Great White Shark was already a spent arrow. Otherwise, Jun Yan really would have been filled to the brim by her.

With the Soul Power in her body exhausted, the Demon Soul Great White Shark could not self-destruct even if she wanted to. She fell helplessly back into the water.

The wooden man had long since climbed to its feet. When the Demon Soul Great White Shark floated to the surface, it strode forward and punched her on the top of the head.

With a muffled thud, her skull shattered.

The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Demon Soul Great White Shark King, the guardian beast of Sea God Island, met her end.

A ring of red energy slowly emerged from the Demon Soul Great White Shark's corpse, then gathered above her into a red Soul Ring.

Looking at the Soul Ring before him, Jun Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "She's really dead this time."

He had truly feared that Bo Saixi had left other measures on the Demon Soul Great White Shark. It seemed that even if Bo Saixi had left her a means of preserving her life, it could not save her twice in one day.

The two vines slowly retracted, finally disappearing into the ground. The wooden man also walked out of the pool, went to a large tree, and merged with it.

Jun Yan beckoned, and the red Soul Ring flew toward him, then slowly merged into his body.

The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring's energy surged into Jun Yan's body with an incomparably overbearing force. Fortunately, his physique was already extraordinarily strong, and tempered by the two Immortal Herbs of ice and fire, he managed to withstand the impact.

The Demon Soul Great White Shark had already been severely wounded by the two Titled Douluo, Qian Jun and Jiang Mo. Although Bo Saixi's phantom had healed her somewhat, it was still a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. Later, Jun Yan had taken the opportunity to kill her, so the resentment in her heart was easy to imagine.

Fortunately, Jun Yan was using the Rinnegan to bear this Soul Ring. The Rinnegan possessed the two powers of yin and yang: yang represented the power of life, while yin represented the power of the soul.

The resentment-filled soul power in this Soul Ring might have been difficult for other Soul Saints or Soul Douluo to deal with, but it was no trouble for Jun Yan.

Beneath Jun Yan's eyelids, the Rinnegan emitted a purple glow. The light passed through his flesh and entered his sea of consciousness.

The violence and resentment that had filled the Soul Power rapidly melted away upon encountering the light, like snow beneath the blazing sun. Before long, the Demon Soul Great White Shark's Soul Power became perfectly obedient, circulating through his body in accordance with Jun Yan's will.

Only after a long time had passed did Jun Yan fully digest the Soul Ring's power. The Demon Soul Great White Shark became the Rinnegan's first Soul Ring.

From the information conveyed by the Soul Ring, Jun Yan learned that he had gained two Soul Skills: Demon Shark's Fang and Demon Shark Domain.

Demon Shark Domain: the Demon Soul Great White Shark King's exclusive domain. Once activated, the seawater within its range could be controlled at will, as though it were part of one's own body.
