"That beast's cultivation was already at over ninety-nine thousand years back then, just a step away from one hundred thousand years."
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should have successfully made a Breakthrough by now, becoming a true one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast."
"Earth Armor Dragon?"
Tang Xiao furrowed his brows slightly.
"This kind of Spirit Beast possesses extremely formidable defense and terrifying strength, and it also carries earth-attribute gravity control, making it very troublesome to deal with."
"However, since it just broke through to one hundred thousand years, its Realm should still be unstable."
"With my level 96 cultivation, plus a freak like you who can arm-wrestle with a Titled Douluo, the two of us joining forces should have no problem killing it."
"Then let's go." Luo Nan didn't waste any words. With a flash of his figure, he transformed into a streak of golden light and charged into the night sky first.
Tang Xiao followed closely behind. The two figures, like lightning tearing through the night sky, galloped rapidly toward the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.
...
Luo Nan and Tang Xiao galloped all the way. Relying on their formidable strength, they avoided the entanglement of those low-tier Spirit Beasts on the periphery and penetrated directly into the hinterland of the forest.
In less than a week, they arrived at the secret valley Luo Nan had mentioned.
This valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a narrow entrance.
A thick, earthy stench permeated the valley.
The two restrained their Aura and quietly sneaked into the valley.
At the deepest part of the valley, in front of a huge cave, a giant beast as huge as a small mountain was lying on the ground in deep sleep.
That was a giant dragon covered all over in heavy earth-yellow scales.
Its body length exceeded thirty meters, its thick limbs resembled four sky-supporting giant pillars, and its back was covered with rows of sharp bone spikes.
Every breath it took would stir up a visible wave of earth-yellow Qi in the air, and the surrounding ground would tremble slightly accordingly.
"It really is a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast!"
Tang Xiao hid behind a giant boulder, his gaze fixed dead on that Earth Armor Dragon, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.
He could clearly sense that extremely terrifying energy fluctuations were contained within this giant beast's body.
That coercion belonging to a one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast, even in deep sleep, made people feel a sense of palpitation.
"Looking at those huge beast bones around it, it probably just finished feeding, and right now is its most relaxed time."
Luo Nan said in a low voice, a cold killing intent flashing in his eyes.
"A one hundred thousand year Spirit Beast is no pushover. Its defense is extremely astonishing; we must kill it in one blow or seriously injure it, otherwise once it reacts, we'll be in big trouble."
Tang Xiao analyzed in a deep voice.
"Understood." Luo Nan nodded.
"Sect Master Tang, you take the main attack, and I'll handle support and finding flaws."
"Good!"
Tang Xiao didn't hesitate at all. An extremely violent black Soul Power instantly erupted from within his body.
"Seventh Spirit Ability, Martial Soul True Body!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, an incomparably huge, pitch-black Clear Sky Hammer exuding terrifying coercion appeared in Tang Xiao's hands.
Nine spirit rings—yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—slowly rose beneath Tang Xiao's feet!
Especially that last deep black spirit ring, which exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Boom!"
Tang Xiao violently kicked the ground with both legs, and his entire person shot up into the sky like a cannonball!
Gripping the huge Clear Sky Hammer tightly with both hands, carrying an Aura capable of destroying heaven and earth, he fiercely smashed toward the still-sleeping Earth Armor Dragon.
"Roar——!"
Sensing a fatal threat, the Earth Armor Dragon abruptly opened its earth-yellow eyes, which were as large as lanterns.
It emitted an angry roar, its massive body springing up instantly, and a layer of heavy earth-yellow light shield instantly enveloped its entire body.
"Bang——!"
The Clear Sky Hammer fiercely smashed onto the earth-yellow light shield, erupting with an earth-shaking loud noise.
The terrifying shockwave swept toward the surroundings, uprooting the surrounding trees, and the giant boulders instantly turned into fine powder.
The Earth Armor Dragon's massive body was smashed sliding backward by dozens of meters from this hammer strike, plowing a deep trench on the ground.
But that layer of earth-yellow light shield, although flickering violently, did not shatter.
"What a terrifying defense!"
Tang Xiao felt a shock in his heart.
Although his attack just now didn't use a Spirit Ability, relying on Martial Soul True Body and level 96 Soul Power, even an ordinary Titled Douluo wouldn't dare to take it head-on, yet this beast actually withstood it raw!
"Roar!"
The enraged Earth Armor Dragon let out an earth-shaking roar, abruptly raising its thick forelegs and slamming them fiercely against the ground.
"Rumble!"
A terrifying gravity field instantly enveloped the entire valley.
Tang Xiao only felt his body sink abruptly, as if a great mountain was pressed onto his back, and his speed plummeted instantly.
At the same time, the Earth Armor Dragon opened its bloody maw, and a thick beam of earth-yellow light carrying destructive power bombarded toward Tang Xiao.
Just at this critical juncture, a brilliant golden light suddenly lit up in the valley.
"Martial Soul True Body!"
Accompanied by a towering, piercing dragon roar, a Golden Sacred Dragon over twenty meters in length, covered all over in brilliant golden scales and exuding a holy and domineering Aura, appeared out of thin air beside Luo Nan.
Unlike ordinary Beast Spirits, Luo Nan's Golden Sacred Dragon was an extremely rare detached Spirit.
Not only did it possess independent consciousness and extremely high intelligence, but it could also communicate telepathically with Luo Nan and cooperate perfectly.
Luo Nan's figure flashed, landing steadily on the Golden Sacred Dragon's broad back.
"Old partner, prepare for battle!"
"Today, we will use this stupid dragon's blood to forge our eighth spirit ring!"
Luo Nan patted the Golden Sacred Dragon's neck and shouted loudly.
"Roar——!"
The Golden Sacred Dragon let out an excited roar, its golden eyes flashing with high Battle Intent.
"Sixth Spirit Ability, Sacred Dragon Roar!"
The Golden Sacred Dragon let out a long roar toward the sky, rings of golden sound waves spreading outward in all directions.
Under the shroud of this golden light, Luo Nan and Tang Xiao only felt their bodies lighten up, and that terrifying gravitational oppression instantly dissipated by more than half.
At the same time, their strength, speed, and Soul Power recovery speed all received massive enhancements.
"Well done!" Tang Xiao shouted loudly, waving the Clear Sky Hammer once again as he rushed forward to meet that earth-yellow light beam.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
The intense battle broke out in the valley.
Relying on the Clear Sky Hammer's terrifying offensive power and profound level 96 Soul Power, Tang Xiao engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the Earth Armor Dragon blow for blow.
Every collision would trigger a ground-shaking tremor.
Meanwhile, Luo Nan and the Golden Sacred Dragon circled in the air, searching for the Earth Armor Dragon's flaws.
Although the Earth Armor Dragon had astonishing defense and terrifying strength, it was massive in size and relatively slow in speed.
Under Tang Xiao's tempestuous attacks, it gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the earth-yellow scales on its body also began to show cracks.
"Right now!"
