Chapter 30: Encountering the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, the Sharpness of the Atlas Spear
The Star Dou Great Forest, on the other side.
Yun Yuan arrived at a dense part of the forest and finally stopped to rest, no longer fleeing for his life.
From just now until now, Yun Yuan estimated he had fled over a hundred miles to prevent being discovered by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Scarlet King.
"My luck in obtaining the second Soul Ring this time is truly bad; how did I run into that Emperor Auspicious Beast?"
Resting against a large tree and recalling the recent experience, Yun Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Then, his thoughts began to drift, starting to worry about his teacher, Qian Xunji.
"Sigh, I don't know if Teacher can escape from that Scarlet King. With the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, escaping shouldn't be much of a problem."
"But for now, I should think about how to leave the Star Dou Great Forest. As for Teacher's situation, I'll naturally find out once I return to Spirit Hall."
Withdrawing his thoughts and restoring his Soul Power to its peak, Yun Yuan walked toward the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
But before long, he sensed a terrifying Soul Beast fighting nearby, the loud crashes of their collision reaching Yun Yuan's ears.
"How can there be a collision of this level in the outer perimeter? What's going on?"
In Yun Yuan's view, the two Soul Beasts fighting nearby were at least ten-thousand-year level beasts.
But this was the outer perimeter, where even thousand-year Soul Beasts were rare; how could ten-thousand-year level beasts appear here?
With doubt in his heart, Yun Yuan turned his gaze toward the battlefield of the two Soul Beasts, intending to see what was happening.
A ten-thousand-year level Soul Beast could not yet threaten his life, as his life-saving abilities were very strong.
The innate Forbidden Flight Domain of the Atlas Spear had a larger range after the Martial Soul evolved, and it had also derived a space suppression ability with lower Soul Power consumption.
The External Soul Bone, Wind Thunder Wings, provided extremely fast flight speed, and its Soul Bone skill also possessed space traversal capabilities.
These two abilities maxed out Yun Yuan's survival capabilities, giving him a certain level of confidence even when facing a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast.
Before long, Yun Yuan reached a high cliff. Looking down from above, he discovered the two Soul Beasts in combat.
One of them was a ten-thousand-year Soul Beast, a Lava Earth Dragon, which belonged to the top-tier Soul Beasts.
The other Soul Beast surprised Yun Yuan; it was a super Soul Beast, a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, but its age was only a little over a thousand years.
After a year of theoretical study, Yun Yuan could naturally distinguish most Soul Beast types and ages at a glance.
At this moment, the Lava Earth Dragon below was covered in wounds, roaring at the nearby Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear to drive it away.
Originally, this Lava Earth Dragon was resting peacefully in the inner perimeter, but a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear suddenly appeared to hunt it.
Then, the Lava Earth Dragon fled while the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear pursued, chasing it all the way to the outer perimeter without losing the trail.
By now, the Lava Earth Dragon's injuries were severe, forcing it into a final showdown with the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear opposite it also had wounds of various sizes, though they weren't as severe as the Lava Earth Dragon's.
Although it was a super Soul Beast, the Lava Earth Dragon was also a top-tier Soul Beast with an age far exceeding its own. Being able to achieve this much already demonstrated the terror of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
Standing on the high cliff, Yun Yuan watched this scene, his eyes fixed intently on the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, his mind occupied with unknown thoughts.
Below the cliff, the battle between the two Soul Beasts was about to erupt. They began a fierce fight, the aftershocks and their powerful auras scaring away all Soul Beasts within a thousand-meter radius.
As time passed, the Lava Earth Dragon's injuries grew more severe under the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's claws, its aura becoming increasingly weak.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear wasn't having it easy either, blood splashing from its ursine frame, but its bloodthirsty and proud nature made it determined to hunt this Lava Earth Dragon.
Ten minutes later.
The Lava Earth Dragon had lost its life force under the attack of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, lying motionless on the ground.
Seeing this, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear beat its chest fiercely and let out a roar to vent its emotions.
Immediately after, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear dragged its heavily injured body forward, intending to enjoy the Lava Earth Dragon.
But an accident occurred.
Upon seeing the Lava Earth Dragon die and the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear heavily injured, the white-hot Atlas Spear instantly appeared in Yun Yuan's hand on the cliff, radiating an aura of ultimate sharpness.
The next moment, the External Soul Bone Wind Thunder Wings appeared on his back, and he used the Soul Bone skill Wind Thunder Instant Body to appear behind the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
The extremely sharp Atlas Spear thrust directly toward the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's heart; he wanted to hunt this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear as his second Soul Ring.
Sensing the crisis from behind, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear wanted to dodge, but its naturally clumsy frame combined with its heavy injuries greatly reduced its speed. How could it avoid Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear?
In the next second, the incredibly sharp Atlas Spear plunged straight into the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's body. The pain caused the Soul Power within the bear to surge violently, instantly knocking Yun Yuan back.
"Roar—!"
After the spear strike, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear let out a hiss and a roar, venting its fury.
Glaring at Yun Yuan, it dragged its heavily injured body and attacked him directly.
Facing the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's wrathful strike, Yun Yuan gave a contemptuous smile. Flapping the Wind Thunder Wings again, he instantly rose into the air, leaving the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear below in a state of helpless rage.
Yun Yuan's spear strike just now had made the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's already heavily injured body even worse, leaving it with little combat power.
Next, Yun Yuan only needed to engage in guerrilla warfare to kill this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.
The Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's powerful defense was of little use against his Atlas Spear.
The Atlas Spear inherently possessed ultimate sharpness and armor penetration. Not to mention, after the Martial Soul evolved again, the power of the Atlas Spear had increased further.
To break through the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's defense was quite easy for Yun Yuan's Atlas Spear.
After half an hour of maneuvering, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear finally collapsed, its life force extinguished.
Flapping the Wind Thunder Wings, Yun Yuan landed on the ground, panting slightly. Clearly, killing this Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear was no easy feat, and more than half of his Soul Power had been consumed.
Approaching the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, Yun Yuan kicked the dead beast.
"This big bear is truly hard to kill. If it weren't already heavily injured, I might not have been able to kill it."
After a moment of reflection, Yun Yuan sat down cross-legged, preparing to absorb the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's Soul Ring.
Before long, a purple Soul Ring appeared over the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's corpse.
Seeing this, Yun Yuan slowly closed his eyes and circulated his Soul Power. Following his experience from absorbing his first Soul Ring, he guided the Soul Ring to his body and began refining it.
As time passed, Yun Yuan successfully absorbed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's Soul Ring. He snapped his eyes open and jumped up happily.
Just as he was rejoicing, he suddenly discovered...
