Chapter 122: Judgment of the Thunder Ring, Punishment of the Nine Rings!
"Huh, Hu Bai, you woke me up so quickly. You didn't change your mind, did you? You want me to stay in your Spiritual Sea? Holy cow! A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, Hu Bai, are you crazy?!"
Tianmeng jumped up the moment he woke and saw this Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.
He remembered that where he was captured, there was an incredibly powerful Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, known as Bear Lord.
And although the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear race is solitary, if Bear Lord found out that his kin had been killed by a human Soul Master, he would surely hold a grudge.
Moreover, when he was asleep, this guy was only a Soul Elder, right?
Looking at the current situation, he was going to absorb this Ten-thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear as his fourth soul ring!
But before he could be shocked, his mental power detected something different about Hu Bai: "Huh, you seem to have the Aura of a God on you? And more than one! What happened during the time I was asleep?"
Hu Bai: "Simply put, I was taken a liking to by the seven great elements gods, and now I'm undergoing their God Trial. Do you see this colorful mark on my forehead?"
The combined Legacy trial of the seven great elements gods!
Holy cow!
What on earth happened while he was asleep?
Although Tianmeng had many questions in his heart, now was clearly not the right time to ask.
"Hu Bai, I must warn you first: with your current cultivation, it will be very difficult to deal with this Soul Beast. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is known for its attack and defense, possessing an attribute that is extremely close to ultimate metal. Its claws can also shatter space, so be careful not to be caught by him, and don't be fooled by his huge size—his speed is not slow at all!"
The Tianmeng Iceworm woke up and didn't stay idle. While explaining the pros and cons to Hu Bai, he also slightly unsealed the seal he had set earlier, raising the age of Hu Bai's first and second soul rings to the Ten-thousand-Year level.
The first soul ring was Lightning Control, and the second was Light Control. The increase in age meant an amplified effect of the corresponding elements.
"The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has tough skin and thick flesh. You're so smart—you should know how to deal with him, right?" Tianmeng Iceworm also wanted to see what surprises Hu Bai would bring.
Upon waking this time, he learned that Hu Bai had obtained a God trial, which meant he had made the right gamble.
And he wasn't killed while he was asleep, which showed that Hu Bai was still very trustworthy.
Hu Bai naturally knew what Tianmeng was talking about. The weakness of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear?
Tough skin and thick flesh, but what lightning fears least is tough skin and thick flesh!
In terms of destructive power, lightning might not be as good as the explosive and wide-ranging fire element, but in terms of armor penetration, the lightning element is number one!
Facing this Ten-thousand Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, even Hu Bai dared not underestimate his opponent, so from the very beginning, he displayed his strongest abilities.
Sky Fox Domain!
Winter is Coming!
Lightning Domain!
Three great Domains opened simultaneously!
The Sky Fox Domain could enhance the power of his elements and also exert a certain suppression on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
The Sky Fox Domain's suppression of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was not a Bloodline suppression like it was for fox-type Soul Beasts, but a pure suppression between Soul Beasts!
The Nine-tailed Sky Fox Bloodline was absolutely not weaker than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
This could be seen from the ultimate attributes both could master!
And the Ice Domain could restrict its speed; the extreme cold freezing power could slowly invade its body, while the Lightning Domain could cause paralysis—both complementing each other.
"Roar, roar, roar!"
The Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear felt provoked!
His entire Aura burst forth, and his sharp claws actually shattered the ice that had frozen his limbs.
His eyes glowed red, and that intimidating, fierce light locked directly onto Hu Bai.
If one's dao heart wasn't firm, seeing this gaze would probably make them wet their pants or even tremble in their legs.
But his years of training were not in vain. He had seen too many fallen Soul Masters and fierce Soul Beasts attacking villages, so he had long developed resistance to this gaze.
Just as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear charged over, Hu Bai was the first to move.
Three pairs of cyan wings grew on his back, and he flew into the air.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky, numerous thick bolts of lightning flashed, and his first soul ring rose on his body.
"Lightning Judgment!"
A purple lightning greatsword appeared out of thin air, piercing through the clouds and directly descending towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's massive body.
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear showed no weakness, roaring a few times, extending his two front claws—seemingly with faint silver light—and then fiercely swung them out.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw!
That powerful blow, filled with gold attributes and spatial force, attempted to tear apart this huge lightning sword!
"Hu Bai's attack is good. With the amplification of his soul ring and Domain, it already has the might of a Soul Emperor, but trying to defeat this Ten-thousand Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with just this one blow might be a bit difficult…" Yue Guan frowned.
He hadn't expected that even though the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was already under triple suppression, its strength hadn't weakened much; instead, its ferocity had been completely stimulated, and it had entered a berserk state!
Normal Soul Beasts would feel a lack of energy under the Nine-tailed Sky Fox's Domain pressure, but the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in front of him was completely different!
Terrifying!
To be honest, this kind of top-grade Soul Beast, they had lived for so long, and it was the first time they had seen one.
Death Canyon was a place discovered by their Spirit Hall, different from the Star Dou Great Forest. There were very few Thousand Year Soul Beasts here, mostly starting from Ten-thousand Year, and it was very mysterious.
However, it was strange that although there were many Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts, they had searched and found no trace of Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts.
They didn't know if there weren't any, or if they were too smart and hid.
And when Hu Bai saw that he had forced out the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's strongest attack, Dark Gold Terrorclaw, he smiled.
This stupid bear probably thought his lightning greatsword was going to attack him?
Wrong!
Facing this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, whose strength was comparable to a Fifty-thousand Year Soul Beast, he dared not be careless in the slightest!
He wouldn't get carried away just because he possessed several Element Hearts and ultimate attributes.
When facing powerful Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, one must be cautious, think several steps ahead, and aim for a one-hit kill!
At the very least, a one-hit serious injury!
So, just as the lightning greatsword was about to touch the Dark Gold Terrorclaw, it suddenly split apart!
"Nine Rings of Punishment!"
Lightning possessed the strongest penetrative power, but if used well, its control was not inferior to the ice element!
At the last moment, the lightning greatsword split into nine slender lightning bolts, falling around the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, forming a giant lightning binding array. The lightning inside crisscrossed, continuously striking the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body, causing damage while also paralyzing him!
And, under the blessing of the Lightning Element Heart and Domain, the surrounding lightning elements continued gathering!
