Chapter 170

Tian Meng Bing Can still didn't understand what Yang Yun meant; in his view, an ordinary soul master is fundamentally no match for those ferocious beasts; even adding himself wouldn't change that.

Adding the second soul ring only brings it up to the fourth ring, still far from the nine rings of twin martial souls; Tian Meng Bing Can even felt that fighting like this would be somewhat unstable.

After his sacrificial energy barrier dissipated, Yang Yun rose and slowly walked out of the still‑lingering halo; soul rings began to continuously wrap around his body.

Tian Meng Bing Can was dumbfounded.

"In the 99.9 soul rings, six are hundred‑thousand‑year soul rings? This isn't the configuration of the first martial soul? How could it be, the best setup isn't like this." Tian Meng Bing Can felt that everything he had heard and seen about the worldview collapsed.

How could there be such a heaven‑defying soul master in this world? Could it be that this is the power a divine inheritor should have?

No, it shouldn't be.

Tian Meng Bing Can couldn't figure it out, and the three‑headed Chi Mo Gou that was waiting to blast the human soul master and then give Tian Meng Bing Can a harsh lesson before taking it back also couldn't figure it out.

What about the bursting I had anticipated?

This shouldn't be the case; how did this person walk out unscathed? Just walking out so lively.

"Who are you, Tian Meng Bing Can? Don't think that by disguising yourself like this I'll let you go, Tian Meng Bing Can; put away your god‑playing tricks." The central head of Chi Wang spoke.

His tone was full of mockery and the anger of being played.

Yang Yun didn't waste words, directly activating the soul bone skill Spirit Annihilation Field.

An invisible force pulled Chi Wang's spirit power away from his body into a mysterious space, and Yang Yun's silhouette appeared opposite it.

"It's you, what means did you use to bring me to this damned place? No matter what trick you employ, when I bite your head off in one gulp, you'll realize all schemes are useless." Chi Wang's eyes turned blood‑red, its six eyeballs locked onto Yang Yun as it lunged in a killing strike.

Yang Yun snorted coldly, preparing to test the newly acquired soul skill.

Fourth soul ring—Spirit Scorching! The flame of the Fallen Heart Ignition ignited silently within Chi Wang's body, then instantly erupted like a torch meeting fuel, spewing heavenly‑rising fire.

This flame was colorless and formless, yet before Yang Yun's spirit power it was clearly there, scorching Chi Wang's body.

Only after the opponent's spirit power was completely incinerated did Yang Yun's spirit power return to his body; seeing Chi Wang's face turn deathly pale, the entire spirit beast seemed drained, its legs going limp.

"Who… who exactly are you; what just happened?" Chi Wang retreated a step with its limbs, a flicker of fear rising in its heart.

That kind of pain, with the soul being scorched, penetrates to the marrow and reaches deep into the soul, making one tremble with fear.

Spirit beasts that have never personally experienced the soul‑scorching of the Fallen Heart Ignition cannot understand why Chi Wang fears it.

Yang Yun had no habit of answering enemies' questions; he gripped the Flame Spear Chongli tighter, and the flames of the Fallen Heart Ignition on the spear surged.

Third soul skill—Slowing Soul‑Binding Fire.

Suddenly Chi Wang felt the whole world slow down; clearly Yang Yun had moved to stand before it, yet it could not react at all.

Clearly it wanted to activate a skill to repel the opponent, but its body simply wouldn't move; even as its eyes saw the spear tip approaching its throat, it could not make any motion.

Control indirect lead.

Chi Wang's body suddenly slipped into a space, disappearing beneath Yang Yun's spear; the next second, the exit of a formed spatial channel appeared not far away. Yang Yun silently lit up his first three soul rings—Permeate, War God Descent, War Intent.

A powerful force continually surged within his body; the immense energy of the Azure Sky Bull Python and the million‑year limit energy of Tian Meng Bing Can poured in together, causing Yang Yun's soul crystal count to jump directly to seven.

With the supply of seven soul crystals, Yang Yun could not possibly suffer from a shortage of soul power.

Clad in dark purple attire, with two imposing black dragon horns on his head, he looked extremely formidable; although his appearance was human, Yang Yun knew the other's true form was a black dragon.

A purebred black dragon, aside from the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings; one of the few pure‑blood dragon spirit beasts in the world; its cultivation exceeds eight hundred thousand years.

Possessing the dragon god's personally transmitted divine skill, Dragon God Claw, its strength is absolutely a top‑tier powerhouse beneath the gods.

Even ordinary divine officials, when careless, are no match for Di Tian.

Di Tian's golden vertical pupils locked onto Yang Yun's eyes: "From your gaze I can tell you know me; interesting."

It seemed Di Tian had no intention of attacking right away, and Yang Yun was happy to stack his battle intent; he planted the Flame Spear Chongli into the ground, then slowly drew it out.

The two dragon soul traces on the spear shaft caused Di Tian, upon seeing them, to flash a hint of resentment.

"This is a dragon soul, the dragon soul of the Water‑Fire Dragon King; how could it appear on your martial soul?" Di Tian's tone was filled with anger, while his soul power surged around him.

The surrounding environment also began to rage with wild winds; the clouds in the sky were pulled by this immense soul power, constantly rolling; the whole scene was as terrifying as the impending apocalypse.

Yet such a scene could not frighten Yang Yun at all.

After spinning the Flame Spear Chongli a few times in his hand, he pointed the spear tip at Di Tian and said lightly: "What's so surprising about knowing you? I don't just know you that simply; I even know what lies sleeping beneath this lake."

"Impudent, dare you insult the master like this?" Di Tian's soul power surged like a wind‑raised wave, sweeping over Yang Yun.

Chi Wang also opened its big mouth and shouted coldly: "Have a taste of this grandpa's."

Di Tian shouted coldly: "Chi Wang, return and continue your duties; no need for you to act here."

Having spoken, he turned into a black light and shot toward Yang Yun; Chi Wang was then thrown into the spatial channel by Di Tian's one‑hand control indirect lead, disappearing from Yang Yun's perception.

Clang! Yang Yun blocked Di Tian's attack outward, while simultaneously activating the soul skill Mental Bestowal from Tian Meng Bing Can, his mental detection encompassing tens of thousands of miles and taking in everything.

"Your purpose in letting that dog leave here is probably not to fulfill some duty; you just don't want it to stay and become a stumbling block hindering your exercise of power; you must also know how strong I am."

"An eight‑hundred‑thousand‑year spirit beast—I wonder how strong it would be if it became my fifth soul ring?"

Having said that, he gave a cold shout: "Soul bone skill—Fiery Dragon Body!"

Di Tian felt a strange flame energy wrap around his heart and ignite his inner soul power; his whole body burst forth with intense flames.

He was burned.

Even if only his scales were scorched black, it was still astonishing.
