Chapter 97: Fierce Battle Against the Fixed Profound Star Turtle, Sixth Soul Skill "Weight as Light"
Seeing this, the Fixed Profound Star Turtle also made its move. The patterns on its shell emitted a faint, cold blue glow.
Its innate domain, the "Light-Heavy Domain," instantly spread out. Within a hundred-meter radius, gravity suddenly surged several times over, and even the air seemed to solidify.
Floating midair, Yun Yuan felt the pressure around his body spike sharply. His figure sank slightly, and even the flapping speed of his Wind Thunder Wings slowed down.
The battle intent in Yun Yuan's eyes grew even more intense. His first to fourth soul rings all lit up in succession. Wind Thunder Flash, Endless War Spear, True Damage, and Ultimate Sublimation stacked their effects onto him simultaneously.
In the next moment, Yun Yuan's aura rose once again. A terrifying pressure swept across the mineral vein within a thousand-meter radius.
His external soul bone skill, Wind Thunder Movement, activated. Yun Yuan's body instantly appeared above the Fixed Profound Star Turtle. The incandescent Spear tore through the air, producing a sharp, ear-piercing whistle as it stabbed straight toward the massive head of the turtle.
Seeing Yun Yuan suddenly appear, the enormous pupils of the Fixed Profound Star Turtle expanded again, shocked by the spatial soul skill Yun Yuan possessed.
But right now, the most important thing was to defeat the human soul master first. The gravity around the Fixed Profound Star Turtle surged once more, while the light-heavy domain acted upon its massive body again.
Its own weight dropped drastically, greatly increasing its speed and agility. Its bulky body twisted abruptly, dodging Yun Yuan's direct thrust toward its head.
Immediately after, its thick and powerful limbs swept toward Yun Yuan with mountain-splitting force. The sharp tips gleamed coldly; if struck, bones would shatter, and tendons would snap.
Yun Yuan's gaze was as sharp as a blade. His external soul bone skill, Wind Thunder Movement, activated again, allowing him to evade the attack.
Then, relying on the mobility of Wind Thunder Movement, he thrust his Atlas spear repeatedly. Countless incandescent spear shadows rained down like a storm onto the turtle's shell.
The Atlas Spear's defense-ignoring property bypassed the turtle shell, which could withstand attacks from a Titled Douluo, striking straight into the Fixed Profound Star Turtle's body. It howled in pain, its roars growing increasingly violent.
Enraged and humiliated, the Fixed Profound Star Turtle erupted completely. The patterns on its shell shone brilliantly as its head swept out, releasing a vast and heavy gravity blade wave that surged toward Yun Yuan.
Facing the incoming blade wave, Yun Yuan continuously swung his spear, thunderous booms echoing through the air.
But it wasn't over yet. The furious Fixed Profound Star Turtle immediately circulated all its soul power. The Light-Heavy Domain enveloped Yun Yuan to its maximum extent, restricting his movements.
At the same time, under the enhancement of the domain, its limbs, now as heavy as a thousand jun, slammed fiercely toward Yun Yuan.
Simultaneously, it spat out a beam of dark blue energy from its mouth. Wherever it passed, the air twisted, its power terrifying.
Facing this beam, Yun Yuan did not dare to be careless. He fully activated his soul power, his battle intent surging to its peak. He swung his spear horizontally, forcibly blocking the terrifying dark blue energy beam.
After blocking the beam, Yun Yuan suddenly flipped his wrist, changing the spear's direction. He brought it down vertically, colliding with the Fixed Profound Star Turtle's limb.
Even with the amplification of four stacked soul skills, the force carried by the turtle's limb exceeded Yun Yuan's expectations.
Under the immense impact, Yun Yuan felt a tremendous force transmitted through the spear. Blood burst from his palm, and a crisp crack sounded from his bones.
His entire body was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut. Yun Yuan quickly controlled his Wind Thunder Wings. With Wind Thunder Movement activated, his figure reappeared in the sky once more.
At this moment, a trace of blood leaked from the corner of Yun Yuan's mouth. The arm holding the Atlas Spear was also bleeding continuously.
"Refreshing. This is how battle should be!"
Although Yun Yuan looked rather miserable, with his entire arm covered in blood, these were only superficial injuries. Once he returned, his Sister Qingxian or Aunt Yun could use a healing soul skill to fix everything.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Dragon Hunt Destiny!"
Following Yun Yuan's soft shout, his fifth soul ring lit up. The effect of Dragon Hunt Destiny fell upon the Fixed Profound Star Turtle below.
All of the turtle's attributes dropped by 25%, and Yun Yuan's next attack would directly lock onto it.
Wind Thunder Movement activated. Yun Yuan's figure vanished, reappearing above the Fixed Profound Star Turtle. This time, it could not evade because it was a lock-on skill.
The extremely sharp Atlas Spear, driven by Yun Yuan's full power, directly pierced through the Fixed Profound Star Turtle's head.
In the distance, Qian Daoliu saw the battle end. With a flash, he arrived beside Yun Yuan and applauded him.
"Xiao Yuan, with your current combat power, even your teacher may not necessarily be your match. I truly wonder what expression Ji'er will have when he learns of this."
"At this rate, when you reach the Titled Douluo level, even I, your grandmaster, may not be your opponent."
Yun Yuan's combat power was simply too overwhelming, far beyond this realm. Qian Daoliu admitted that at rank sixty, he could deal with a Soul Saint and even contend with a Soul Douluo.
But to reach Yun Yuan's level, with combat power comparable to a Super Douluo, was absolutely impossible.
"Grandmaster, well… you'll know in a few more years."
Regarding Qian Daoliu's words, Yun Yuan was also curious. When he first entered the Titled Douluo realm, could he defeat Qian Daoliu, a rank ninety-nine Limit Douluo?
After all, Qian Daoliu possessed a god-level martial soul and could borrow the power of the Angel God. His strength was unfathomable.
"A few years? That's soon. But it makes sense. With your cultivation speed, a few years are enough."
Hearing Yun Yuan say he would reach the Titled Douluo level in a few years, Qian Daoliu was stunned at first, instinctively thinking it impossible. But recalling Yun Yuan's rapid growth, he realized just how fast his cultivation speed was.
What others needed ten years of bitter cultivation to achieve, Yun Yuan could accomplish in just one year.
While Yun Yuan and Qian Daoliu were chatting, the Fixed Profound Star Turtle that Yun Yuan had just slain produced a deep black soul ring above its corpse.
Within the soul ring, faint traces of red indicated that this Fixed Profound Star Turtle's cultivation was extremely close to one hundred thousand years.
Seeing the deep black soul ring, Yun Yuan's eyes lit up with excitement. After briefly treating the injuries on his arm, he sat down cross-legged and began absorbing his sixth soul ring.
Qian Daoliu stood guard nearby. The aura of a Limit Douluo spread from his body, preventing any soul beasts from approaching within a thousand-meter radius.
Three hours later, Yun Yuan finally completed the absorption of his sixth soul ring and slowly opened his eyes.
"Xiao Yuan, how are your gains this time?"
Seeing Yun Yuan wake up, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but ask, eager to know his current condition.
Hearing this, Yun Yuan quickly sensed his gains. Half a minute later, he stood up and shared them with Qian Daoliu.
"Grandmaster, my soul power level has increased by four ranks. I am now rank sixty-four Soul Emperor."
"As for my sixth soul skill, it is called Weight as Light. Its effect is to alter the weight of my Atlas Spear, while the feel in my hand remains unchanged."
