Chapter 69 The Ultimate Attack.
Above the sky.
A chillingly sharp aura spread out.
Golden light condensed.
A projection brimming with ultimate power appeared.
It was a dark golden giant bear standing upright, over a hundred meters tall, its muscles bulging like cast metal, brimming with explosive power.
Most striking were its forepaws, its claws like five giant dark golden scimitars, over ten meters long, gleaming with cold light.
Even the projection alone felt like its vision was being ripped apart by the sharp aura.
Its scarlet eyes were filled with a savage and destructive desire, and it let out a silent roar to the sky.
Tiny black cracks appeared in the surrounding space!
[Soul Beast Power Ranking, 11th: Bear King (Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear)!]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 450,000 years]
[Affiliation: Star Dou Great Forest]
[Evaluation: King of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, possessing partial Behemoth bloodline, with the attribute of ultimate gold. Its pair of dark gold terrorclaws possess terrifying power capable of tearing through space, representing the ultimate embodiment of physical attack among land-based soul beasts.]
[Reward: Soul Beast age increased by 40,000 years! Dark Gold Terrorclaw quality enhanced! Sky-Tearing Claw ultimate technique power doubled!]
"450,000 years! Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!"
"Tearing through space? This attack power is terrifying!"
"Again, Star Dou Great Forest! How many of these monsters do they have?"
"Eleventh place! A soul beast over 400,000 years old only ranked eleventh?"
The various forces on the continent had just recovered from the extreme cold of the Ice Emperor.
They were once again shaken by the ultimate power and sharpness of the Bear King.
Over 400,000 years of cultivation, combined with those dark gold terrorclaws that seemed capable of tearing everything apart, its destructive power was chilling to even imagine.
Moreover, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear...
This was an existence unheard of by most Soul Masters!
At the bottom of the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, a deep, satisfied roar echoed.
The projection of the Bear King solidified in space, its dark golden claws gleaming with a chilling light.
It had undergone a baptism of golden light, reaching an age of 490,000 years.
Those claws became even deeper and sharper.
They seemed to truly possess the primal power to tear apart the rules, and the profound meaning of the Sky-Rending Claw became clearer in their hearts.
"That old fellow, Xiong Jun, his attack power is indeed undeniable."
The Crimson King's three heads shook, acknowledging this.
Di Tian nodded slightly: "Xiong Jun's Sky-Rending Claw, in terms of pure attack, is indeed among the best in our ranks."
At the Haotian Sect, atop a mountain shrouded in mist, Sect Master Tang Xiao and five elders gathered, the atmosphere heavy as if a storm was brewing.
They gazed at the projections of soul beasts on the sky, each more terrifying than the last.
Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from them across the endless distance, everyone's face was extremely grim.
"Bang!"
The Seventh Elder slammed his fist on the stone table, instantly cracking the hard surface. He roared, "How is this possible? How could these soul beasts be so powerful!"
"Four hundred thousand years! Our Haotian Sect's ancestors have hunted only a handful of hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts!"
"But... these soul beasts are too terrifying!"
The Second Elder sighed, his voice filled with helplessness. "Seventh Elder, calm down. The facts are before us; we have no choice but to believe it."
"Now I understand why our ancestor Tang Chen left behind a warning, saying that there was great terror deep within the Star Dou Great Forest, and that only gods could venture there..."
"So, he was referring to these beings."
Tang Xiao clenched his fists, his knuckles white, and said in a low voice, "Our Haotian Sect has remained hidden from the world, confident in its strength, diligently working to rebuild, waiting for the right opportunity to return to the continent."
"But now... in front of these soul beasts that are hundreds of thousands of years old, what is our so-called number one sect in the world?"
"I'm afraid even if we use the entire strength of the sect, we might not be able to defeat any one of them!"
The elders exchanged glances, all seeing the heaviness and urgency in each other's eyes.
The pride of the Clear Sky Hammer was shattered in the face of an absolute power disparity.
Shrek Academy.
The atmosphere was even more oppressive.
Flander, Zhao Wuji, and other teachers looked at the sky, no longer even having the strength to exclaim.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, and the others were deathly pale!
They had previously been smug about making it onto the genius list, but now they felt that their achievement was utterly insignificant compared to these ancient beings who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was the most devastated.
He slumped in his chair, his eyes vacant, his lips trembling as he muttered repeatedly.
"Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a soul beast over 400,000 years old, impossible, this is impossible!"
"My theory… my ten core competencies…"
Flander worriedly supported his shoulder: "Xiao Gang, pull yourself together! These soul beasts are unheard of, perhaps the celestial canopy is mistaken?"
"Mistaken?"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, and roared hoarsely: "Flander, look at that projection, that power to tear space, how could this be mistaken?"
"My theory… the theory I've researched for half my life, is a joke in front of these truly top-tier soul beasts!"
"I don't even know they exist, what research have I done? What core competencies have I talked about?"
He suddenly grabbed Flander's arm, the force so great that Flander felt pain: "Flander! Tell me, am I ridiculous? I always thought I had glimpsed the truth of martial souls and soul beasts."
"But now I realize that I haven't even seen the true face of this world!"
"I...I'm such a frog in a well!"
Liu Erlong felt heartbroken seeing Yu Xiaogang's pained expression and quickly comforted him, "Xiaogang, it's not your fault!"
"These soul beasts are hiding too well. There are hardly any people on the entire continent who know of their existence!"
Seeing Yu Xiaogang on the verge of self-doubt and collapse, the Shrek Academy members fell silent.
The Heavenly Curtain brought more than just a shock of power.
It completely overturned their existing cognitive system.
Before everyone could recover from the shock of Xiong Jun's extreme attack, the golden light of the Heavenly Curtain changed again.
This time, it did not project a specific beast shape.
Instead, it projected a distorted, eerie, ancient forest phantom emanating a rich life force and spiritual fluctuations.
In the center of the forest, an enormous, eerie tree with an eerie purple color slowly emerged.
The trunk of this strange tree was as thick as a mountain, with countless purple branches like tentacles writhing.
A blurry and eerie human face appeared on the trunk, with a pair of eerie eyes made entirely of purple light, as if they could see through people's hearts and control their souls.
[Soul Beast Power Ranking, 10th Place: Ten Thousand Demon King (Demon-Eyed Tree)!]
[Soul Beast Age: Approximately 500,000 years]
[Affiliation: Star Dou Great Forest]
[Evaluation: The strongest plant-type soul beast, it transformed after consuming Immortal Spirit Grass, ruling a large area on the outer edge of Star Dou, possessing attributes close to the ultimate wood, and combining multiple bizarre abilities such as spirit, poison, and time manipulation, making its overall capabilities extremely strong.]
[Rewards: Soul Beast age increased by 40,000 years! Spiritual origin and life origin greatly enhanced! Bloodline power increased by 10%! Domain skill 'A Thousand Years in an Instant' effect enhanced!]
"Five... five hundred thousand years! A plant-type soul beast!"
"Demon-Eyed Tree? It can also control time and spirit?"
"This ability is too bizarre! It's impossible to defend against!"
"Tenth place! A soul beast with over 500,000 years of age is only tenth?"
"..."
If Xiong Jun represents the ultimate physical destruction, then the Ten Thousand Demon King brings a bizarre and unpredictable comprehensive threat.
A plant-type soul beast with 500,000 years of age!
This completely overturned the Soul Masters' preconceived notions of plant-type Soul Beasts as weak and slow-growing.
Their possession of spiritual, poisonous, and even temporal abilities sent chills down one's spine.
Within the hidden space, the phantom of an eerie purple tree swayed, and a sinister smile seemed to appear on the blurred face of the Demon King.
It absorbed the rewards, reaching a lifespan of 540,000 years. Its spiritual power and life essence surged like a tidal wave, making its "a thousand years in an instant" ability, involving the realm of time, even more difficult to resist.
