Chapter 3765: Instantly Slaying the Roc King

God King Wang Tianqi knows the importance of the Dragon Clan, so he promised the Golden Roc King many benefits, allowing him to ambush Ye Liuyun midway.

The Golden Roc King could also snatch the Ancient Dragon Pearl from Ye Liuyun's hand, then turn back to manipulate the Dragon Clan—a win‑win.

Although it has heard that Ye Liuyun is hard to kill, its strength is not comparable to ordinary Martial Cultivators; it has already reached the Eightfold Cave Heaven realm, and with its speed and Physical Body it is among the world's top masters—killing Ye Liuyun would be a piece of cake.

So when Wàn Xīnghǎi saw the massive Golden Roc body of the Golden Roc King, his heart went cold by half.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also perceived the Golden Roc King's realm, recognizing him as a hard opponent. This is only a Clone Puppet, lacking a Chaotic Golden Lotus; its Time Aura cannot be activated because its Soul power is weaker than the Golden Roc King's.

"The only means is Black and White Light, but you must get close. Given the Golden Roc King's speed, if the distance is too great, it can easily dodge the Black and White Light's kill." Ye Liuyun was already plotting his move in his mind.

"Brother Ye, this is the Golden Roc King; we are no match for it!" Wàn Xīnghǎi immediately told Ye Liuyun.

"Haha, of course you're not my opponents!" the Golden Roc King heard Wàn Xīnghǎi's words from afar and nodded approvingly.

It looked at Ye Liuyun and found it could not see through his realm, yet it remained indifferent; whatever realm Ye Liuyun has, he cannot be its opponent.

"Kid, hand over the Ancient Dragon Pearl; I'll give you a chance to kill yourself!" the Golden Roc King stared at Ye Liuyun, his True Essence erupting, intimidating Ye Liuyun.

He despised wasting time, was not at all verbose, and immediately began to act.

Wàn Xīnghǎi, Jīn Biāo and Xiāo Qíng, under this pressure, all spurted a mouthful of blood, collapsed on the ground, utterly unable to resist.

Ye Liuyun, however, with Gu Changhong and Qian Meng, stood in front of the others.

"If you have the skill, come at me; don't harm the innocent!" Ye Liuyun shouted loudly.

"Huh? You've got some skill, but that's all there is!"

The Golden Roc King, seeing that Ye Liuyun was unharmed, was somewhat surprised. Even the Dragon Clan's Wàn Xīnghǎi could not withstand his pressure with his Physical Body, yet Ye Liuyun could stand there effortlessly.

But it paid no heed to those; having already acted, it didn't mind a bit more trouble.

With a flash, its massive body appeared before Ye Liuyun, a golden giant claw lunging straight at him.

Suddenly, its form stalled, its Divine Sense flickered, and Ye Liuyun's Red Eye, together with Qian Meng, cast an illusion on it.

And while it hesitated, Ye Liuyun used Space Translocation to appear before its heart, a Technique swiftly shooting toward its heart.

He chose the heart because the Golden Roc's massive body, even if it dodges, would still be wounded. But using the Technique to melt its head would be easily evaded.

Facing such a powerhouse, Ye Liuyun had only this one chance to strike, daring not the slightest carelessness.

The Golden Roc King instantly regained clarity. Its Soul power far exceeded that of Ye Liuyun and his companions; the Eightfold Cave Heaven realm makes it a genuine powerhouse. Whether Soul, bloodline, Physical Body, or True Essence, it far surpasses ordinary people.

It also noticed the Technique Ye Liuyun fired, but Ye Liuyun was too close to its heart; it couldn't dodge in time. In panic, it first curled its claw to block while attempting to evade.

However, Ye Liuyun's Technique arrived instantly, and its area was far larger than his usual releases. This was the result of not counting the cost; the Technique likely consumed close to half a Primordial Power.

Where the Technique reached, regardless of how strong the Golden Roc's Physical Body was, everything was melted away. Even the raised claw that blocked was also melted.

The Golden Roc's claws are the hardest parts of its body, their sharpness comparable to weapons of the Cultivation realm. Moreover, a single finger hook is much larger than Ye Liuyun's entire physique.

But the result was the same: everything the Technique touched was erased. On one side of the Golden Roc King's body, the Technique cut a void that extended to its wings, carving a large gash through them.

Gu Changhong immediately tossed a Spirit Stone, imbued with various attacks, toward the Golden Roc King.

Boom—boom—boom—a burst of explosions rang out; most talismans missed entirely, and the few that hit the Golden Roc King had no effect. Even immobilizing talismans could not restrain him.

After dodging, the Golden Roc King stared blankly at his wound. He felt no pain, but clearly his heart had vanished by more than half. Two finger hooks were missing from his claw, and large portions of his wings and body were gone.

"What technique is this, how does it have such power, or am I under an illusion?" he was still bewildered. His body was so sturdy; what could melt so much of it at once?

Just as its Clone Puppet formed, Qian Meng's illusion struck again, adding a hint of bewilderment to its eyes.

Ye Liuyun again used Space Translocation to appear before the Golden Roc King and fired another Technique, still targeting its remaining heart. This time, the heart was entirely gone, and the Physical Body had no chance of revival.

The Golden Roc King at this moment could no longer feel his heartbeat; his Soul began to dissipate.

"I'm dying? How could that be? I was killed instantly by a human!" he was completely stunned.

But the Soul's dissipation immediately jolted him awake.

After all, he was a veteran powerhouse with rich experience; the remaining Soul instantly surged out of the Sea of Consciousness, heading straight for Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness.

He now had few options: either the Soul returns directly to the Golden Roc clan, though the journey might encounter danger and incur loss.

Or destroy Ye Liuyun's Soul, seize his body, then flee back to the Golden Roc clan.

Although after the immediate soul‑seizure the Soul's compatibility with the Physical Body would be low, affecting its performance and the realm would be limited by Ye Liuyun's body, at least it could complete the mission and not die in vain.

Thus it decisively chose the latter, intending to eliminate Ye Liuyun first.

"Boom, boom"—two sounds

The Golden Roc King only felt his two Souls at the entrance of Ye Liuyun's Sea of Consciousness, as if they had struck a wall and were flung away.

"Is there a Defense Array?"

But it also heard a faint "crack" sound; its second Soul seemed to sense that the Defense Array had also been broken through.

"Try again; if it fails, retreat!"

It was decisive as well; the two Souls immediately crashed into the array again.

This time it broke through the array, and the two Souls surged in successively; though it cost some price, it was worth it.

But it did not expect that Ye Liuyun's Soul was already shielded by a Defense Artifact—a large red transparent bell that both sides could see each other through; attempting to breach that defensive bell would likely be very arduous.
