Chapter 33: Old Deng Unleashes His Power

Yu Tianyun's soul power surged, and a sudden thunder clapped; a pair of huge Dragon Wings emerged from behind him, silently tearing through his clothes.

The Dragon Wings were covered with a layer of transparent ice crystals, appearing both tough and splendid. Their edges flickered with a dim blue flame, as if the infernal fire from the Nine Abyss.

Yu Tianyun stepped forward, grasped Duguyan's hand, and the two moved in perfect sync, flapping their wings together into the sky, then said to Dugubo: "Grandpa, let's set out."

Both have achieved Complete Dragon Transformation and now possess the ability to fly, giving them a huge advantage in battles against Soul Masters of the same rank! Dugubo watched the pair soaring together, feeling both gratified and a little wistful; his Yan Yan was no longer his alone!

He took a deep breath, stretched his body, and in the blink of an eye rose into the sky, leaving only one sentence: "Then follow me; I hope you succeed!"

At that moment, the two flying side by side turned their heads toward each other simultaneously; neither spoke, only sharing a smile, their gazes revealing confidence.

They closely followed Dugubo at lightning speed, and in an instant arrived at the vast pine forest where the Thunder Beast dwelled.

The pine forest was shrouded in an unfathomable mist, within which faint flashes of lightning flickered like a mysterious thunder barrier.

At that moment, Dugubo's stern voice rang out: "Don't come forward yet; I'll go in and drive that Thunder Beast out. Until I have subdued it, you must not approach lightly. This Thunder Beast is extremely powerful, especially its speed; even I cannot be certain I can protect you while subduing it!"

After speaking, Dugubo remained exceedingly confident, his Title Douluo pride unmistakable.

Immediately, he alone flew into the pine forest; although Dugubo is called the weakest Title Douluo, even the weakest is still a Title Douluo! Moreover, his abilities happen to restrain Thunder Beasts; Dugubo's control is exceptionally strong, and if he faced a ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beast adept at defense, he would truly struggle to subdue it.

Just a quarter hour after Dugubo entered the forest, a deafening thunderous explosion echoed from deep within the woods.

Immediately, wave after wave of terrifying energy rippled, stirring the forest's heaven-and-earth energy, affecting nearly half of Sunset Forest.

At the forest's edge, Yu Tianyun and Duguyan also realized the Thunder Beast's might; it truly is a Soul Beast wielding pure thunder power.

The thunder power's explosive force and destructive capability, even with only twenty‑thousand‑year cultivation, can rival those sixty‑ to seventy‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts.

Soon, the Thunder Beast suddenly appeared before them, followed by a massive emerald‑green serpent about thirty meters long, as thick as a water tank, which was Dugubo's martial soul true form—the Emerald Phosphor Snake Emperor.

Only then did the two see the Thunder Beast's appearance clearly; the Soul Beast's body was bright yellow, a coat color rare among Soul Beasts.

Its appearance oddly resembled a squirrel, yet only about a foot long; its tail was not fluffy but slender and upright, with two bends resembling lightning symbols. On its tiny body, lightning swirled like a brilliant galaxy, and its oversized blue‑purple eyes dominated half its face, filled with endless hostility and ferocity.

At this moment, trailing behind it was Dugubo's transformed Emerald Phosphor Snake Emperor; a fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and the sixth soul ring circling its serpentine body lit up, activating the sixth soul skill—Emerald Phosphor Snake Emperor Poison!

Green sparks flickered on its body as dense poison surged from within, forming a jet‑black green toxic mist that surged toward the Thunder Beast like a raging tide. Wherever the mist passed, vegetation withered instantly, exuding a chilling aura of death.

The Thunder Beast sensed the danger, its form darting like electricity to evade the lethal toxic mist.

Yet a trace of the mist clung to its fur, slightly slowing its movements.

Enraged, the Thunder Beast spewed massive bolts of lightning from its mouth, like a snarling giant python, charging straight at Dugubo.

Dugubo let out a cold snort; the fifth soul ring on its serpentine body glowed, activating the fifth soul skill—Snake Python Heavenly Shield!

A layer of emerald light instantly formed a solid barrier before him; lightning struck it, sparking countless flashes and energy ripples.

Immediately after, Dugubo again unleashed the eighth soul skill "Time Freeze!"

His surrounding soul power surged, and the immense force made space seem to halt instantly; under its influence, the Thunder Beast's movements became extremely sluggish, as if bound by invisible shackles. Yet the Thunder Beast did not yield easily.

The lightning aura on its body grew ever brighter, like a small sun, dazzlingly radiant.

The Thunder Beast twisted wildly, each struggle unleashing surrounding lightning in a rampage, carving numerous charred craters into the ground.

Dugubo timed it perfectly, releasing the third soul skill "Emerald Phosphor Snake Emperor Mist!", sending out an even denser toxic mist; upon contact, the poison began corroding the Thunder Beast's fur.

The Thunder Beast roared in pain, its lightning aura flickering unstably.

The Thunder Beast struggled desperately within the toxic mist, unable to escape the poison's erosion.

Its breath gradually weakened, and its movements grew increasingly feeble.

Immediately thereafter, Dugubo unleashed a rapid series of fierce attacks, his soul power condensing into countless toxic spikes—the fourth soul skill "Emerald Phosphor Snake Emperor Poison Formation!"—which hurled the spikes toward the Thunder Beast like a sudden storm.

The toxic spikes pierced the Thunder Beast's body, aggravating its wounds.

The Thunder Beast emitted a painful, desperate howl, echoing through the pine forest, chilling all who heard.

Yet it still resisted stubbornly, attempting a final struggle.

At that moment, the muscles beneath the Snake Emperor's head flattened, half its body rose upright, its emerald pupils instantly turned a ghastly white, enveloped by a white halo covering the entire head.

Two ghastly white beams simultaneously shot from the Emerald Phosphor Snake Emperor's eyes, striking the Thunder Beast's body.

With a hum, the white light collided with the lightning coiling around the Thunder Beast's body, turning the lightning entirely white; immediately, a startling scene unfolded.

The lightning, now suffused with white light, underwent a transformation, its once ethereal energy solidifying into stone that encased the Thunder Beast as it fell from the sky.

This was Dugubo's Head Soul Bone skill—Medusa's Gaze, which petrifies; seizing the chance, Yu Tianyun surged forward like a lightning slash through darkness, charging the Thunder Beast with thunderous force.

To counter the Thunder Beast's lightning resistance, he immediately used his right hand's External Attached Soul Bone skill "Dark Gold Terror Claw", the right hand blazing with a chilling, dazzling light, clawing at the Thunder Beast with earth‑splitting force.

The Thunder Beast let out an excruciating, mournful howl, yet could not evade this swift assault.

Under Yu Tianyun's storm‑like onslaught, the Thunder Beast was finally torn into countless fragments.

As a Ten‑Thousand‑Year Soul Beast, it harbored immense energy; after its death, its body burst uncontrollably, and soon a black Ten‑Thousand‑Year Soul Ring, exuding heavy pressure and deep hue, slowly coalesced over its pool of shredded flesh.

Yu Tianyun unleashes full firepower against any foe, leaving no room for mishaps.

At this moment, Dugubo also retracted his martial soul true form; watching Yu Tianyun's ruthless, decisive strike, a approving smile appeared on his face, for the Soul Master World is rife with deceit, and a soft heart can lead to endless ruin.

Dugubo adjusted his breath slightly, calming his scattered aura, then briskly approached together with Duguyan; although he was unharmed, the continuous use of his martial soul true form and soul bone skills heavily drained his soul power.
