Chapter 19: Refined in an Instant! Soul Bone?

Six Titled Douluo were suppressing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, leaving the Beast Emperor no time to control the entire herd.

These soul beasts had been coerced by the Beast Emperor to attack the Clear Sky Sect; now that the restraint was gone, they all retreated toward the Guhen Mountain Range.

For them, this battle offered no benefits.

Even if they killed those human soul masters, they would be killed by other human soul masters before they could even take two bites.

Soul beasts have an instinct to seek advantages and avoid harm.

Now that they saw their boss getting beaten, they naturally started looking for ways to slip away.

The remaining sect disciples dared not pursue; the wilderness outside the village was a battlefield of Titled Douluo level, and just the shockwaves would likely cost them their lives.

Thus, everyone turned their attention to the final battle in the village—the one where Tang Long and Tang Hu, the best among the third generation of the Clear Sky Sect, were fighting the three-thousand-year-level Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

In fact, the situation was completely one-sided.

This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had just been severely injured by Tang Yu fighting for his life, and now it had run into Tang Long and Tang Hu, the two fiercest third-generation disciples of the Clear Sky Sect.

If not for its formidable defense and its pair of incredibly sharp Dark Gold Terrorclaws, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear would have long been hammered to death by the two hammers.

But by this point in the battle, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear could barely hold on.

It glanced at its father and found that he was in an even worse state, unable to break free to save it.

Just then, its nose twitched, and it caught a familiar scent.

It was the scent of its stupid little brother! It followed the scent and saw a human soul master in the crowd, wearing black tight-fitting clothes and holding a dark golden hammer, staring at it intently.

From that dark golden hammer, it felt the scent of its little brother!

"Roar!!!"

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's eyes instantly turned blood-red; seeing the beast that killed its kin here, it completely lost its sanity.

A surge of power erupted within its body, and it swung its bear claws, forcing back the two Soul Emperors, Tang Long and Tang Hu, in an instant!

It swung its Dark Gold Terrorclaws straight toward Ye Ming!

Even if it meant death, it would avenge its little brother!! "Careful, this beast has gone mad!!"

Tang Long and Tang Hu retreated several steps, hurriedly calling out a warning.

But at this moment, everyone present were only Soul Elders and Soul Ancestors; they could not stop this crazed Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Roar! (Little brother, big brother will avenge you!!)"

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear crossed the distance, arriving straight in front of Ye Ming, swinging its Dark Gold Terrorclaw toward his head.

Tang Long and Tang Hu's expressions changed drastically, and they rushed forward, wanting to stop the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

If they let this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear kill their own brother right in front of them, they would be in big trouble.

Especially since the target of this soul beast was someone the Sect Master had just rewarded!

But the two had already lost the initiative and were too late to rescue him.

Tang Long's gaze toward Ye Ming flashed with regret and despair.

In an instant, the situation on the field changed abruptly.

Seeing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear charging over, Ye Ming's face showed no sign of surprise.

The crowd of onlookers scattered quickly, but he didn't move an inch.

"I was originally looking for a chance to sneak attack, I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my door."

Under his feet, a soul ring flickering with purple light floated up, suddenly emitting a dazzling radiance.

Ye Ming swung the Dark Gold Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, slamming it straight toward the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear! "First Soul Skill, Dark Gold Giant Strength Hammer!"

Behind him, a phantom of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear holding a large hammer appeared.

This sudden change made the charging Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear pause in its tracks.

Wasn't this its little brother? "Boom!" In the moment of its surprise, Ye Ming's Dark Gold Clear Sky Hammer slammed into its claw, successfully blocking its fatal strike! At the same time, the phantom behind Ye Ming also smashed down onto its head.

"Dong!!"

A crisp sound rang out, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stood frozen on the spot, a trickle of blood slowly flowing down its forehead.

"Roar~ (Little brother, why are you...)"

Its eyes were filled with resentment, and with a mournful cry, its entire body collapsed backward, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Holy crap!!"

"Is Tang Yeming this fierce?"

"His first soul ring is a thousand-year soul ring, and he's this brutal?"

The surrounding disciples opened their mouths wide, their pupils shrinking.

The scene before them completely exceeded their understanding.

Having practiced in the Clear Sky Sect for so many years, they had never heard of such a thing! Although this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had already been crippled by Tang Long and Tang Hu, even in its desperate counterattack, it wasn't something a one-ring soul master could block.

Just like the crowd, Tang Long and Tang Hu were also incredibly surprised, but they both breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Ye Ming wasn't killed by the soul beast due to their negligence, it was fine.

Looking at the soul ring slowly floating from the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, flickering with purple light and even a hint of black, they couldn't help but sigh that Tang Yeming was indeed formidable.

"Hey, hey, hey! Kid, what are you doing!"

Tang Long was staring at the soul ring when he saw Ye Ming raise his mutated Clear Sky Hammer and gently touch the soul ring flickering with purple light.

Even if you've broken through to the second ring, you can't just absorb this soul ring!

Didn't you see that the soul ring condensed by this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear already had black light?

Only Soul Kings dare to absorb ten-thousand-year soul rings; is this a soul ring a Soul Master like you can absorb? The surrounding disciples also had varied expressions—shock, mockery, sighing...

Tang Long's heart, which had just settled, rose again.

Anxiously, he hurriedly warned: "Careful! This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul ring cannot be absorbed directly! The true strength of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was already approaching the ten-thousand-year level!"

"Even if you refine the soul ring, you will be destroyed by the endless soul shock of the soul beast! Don't..."

In the crowd, the white-clad Outer Sect disciple who had been saved by Tang Yu earlier had a strange expression.

He felt like he had heard this sentence somewhere before, and this scene also looked familiar.

"There is no need for that." Ye Ming's expression was calm as his forging hammer gently touched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's purple soul ring.

The white-clad disciple saved by Tang Yu's eyes widened; he remembered, he remembered everything!

Last time, when Tang Yeming absorbed that thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring, he had said the same thing.

His face flushed red, and he stammered, wanting to say something. Before he could speak, changes had already occurred on Ye Ming's body.

At the moment of contact, all the energy brought by the three-thousand-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring was absorbed by Ye Ming, leaving no room for any counterattack.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's soul in his mind wanted to counterattack, but the Blood Skull Gu in his aperture vibrated slightly, directly shattering its soul.

Refined in an instant!

At this moment, the whole scene was shocked again! The white-clad disciple shuddered all over; he felt satisfied.

Even though he had seen this scene once before, seeing it again, he was still stunned.

On the side, Tang Long and Tang Hu looked at each other and couldn't help but click their tongues in wonder, "Our Clear Sky Sect has produced a monster!"

Just then, a sharp-eyed Outer Sect disciple pointed at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left arm and exclaimed: "That, that looks like a soul bone!!!"
