"I... I didn't, I saw his subordinates from afar, so I had to come back," Qiulu explained.
Impermanence frowned and looked behind: "Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"
"No, everyone is here."
Ye Yu looked at Qiulu, who was already in an attack stance, watching him, and Ye Yu felt touched.
"Don't look at me like that, it's not because I care about you, there's no retreat now. I was born with an extraordinary constitution, and I will help you deal with one or two of his subordinates."
Ye Yu said, "No need, it's enough to leave it to me."
Ye Yu stepped forward, completely voidifying, his appearance changing. A skeletal mask, a pair of long horns, black hair cascading like a waterfall to his waist, and his eyes turned golden yellow.
Although his spiritual power had only recovered twenty percent, he could still withstand complete voidification.
At the same time, above Ye Yu's head, soul rings descended one by one, surrounding his body.
Seeing the falling soul rings, Impermanence and his subordinates all widened their eyes, utterly shocked. When they saw the last soul ring, their pupils contracted in disbelief.
Ten... Ten-thousand-year soul ring?!!
They were unbelievably shocked, unable to believe it. How was this possible?
Five soul rings, black, black, black, black, red!
Such a configuration, unbelievable!
"Am I... am I seeing things?"
"It's real... it's impossible for everyone to be seeing things..."
"How could such a soul ring configuration be achieved..."
...
The subordinates were extremely shocked, while the villagers, being ordinary people, were not very knowledgeable about the Soul Master world and did not find it so surprising.
After his initial shock, greed flashed in Impermanence's eyes: "Head External Soul Bone? Unbelievable, truly unbelievable."
Soul bones were rare as it was, let alone External Soul Bones, whose value was no less than a ten-thousand-year soul ring.
Impermanence was delighted and laughed: "Although I don't know how you achieved this, I must be thankful you are just a Soul King. I will be taking your External Soul Bone."
Ye Yu's right hand unleashed the Nine Spirits Black Begonia, black begonia petals falling on his body as Ye Yu's momentum continued to rise.
Impermanence was taken aback: "Still a Support Type? Hahaha, heaven is truly helping me!"
Impermanence was extremely excited; with such a soul ring configuration and soul bones, it must possess combat power beyond its level, but being of the Support Type, he was determined to take it.
Ye Yu looked at the bracelet on Impermanence's left hand and said, "Space Storage Soul-guiding Device?"
Impermanence did not expect Ye Yu would still have the leisure to notice this.
"Yes, boy, you still have the mind to focus on this?"
"Of course. You just mentioned you had nourishing spirit medicine? Is it inside?"
"Of course, it's something I carry with me, all precious herbs for boosting energy."
Ye Yu sighed lightly: "Well, that would be suitable for me."
"Hm? Could it be you're the same type as me?"
Ye Yu scorned: "Don't misunderstand, I am weak in spiritual power, using it for recovery, not for enhancement in that regard."
Ye Yu continued to mock: "By the way, carrying such energy-nourishing herbs with such a title, just how lacking are you? Writing books too? Aren't you afraid of receiving knife threats from readers?"
"Knife threats? That did happen, and I even made quite a bit of money selling knives," Impermanence looked at Ye Yu's External Soul Bone, greedily saying: "Your External Soul Bone is very cool and domineering, I like it. And since it's a Head External Soul Bone, surely absorbing it would make me more vigorous, so I'm taking it, you're going to die! It's really fortunate, coming here to encounter such a good thing."
Impermanence transformed into a swift shadow quickly closing in, his fists whistling with a hurricane, ripping through the air as it passed.
"First Soul Skill, Vortex Fist!"
Ye Yu remained unfazed, launching a direct punch with his left fist. In Ye Yu's view, the opponent simply came to deliver medicine.
In Impermanence's view, the opponent was just delivering a soul bone, and he secretly chuckled at Ye Yu's overestimation of his own abilities.
However, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
The moment the fists collided, Ye Yu's left arm was covered in golden bone armor, leaving Impermanence shocked and excited: "Left Arm External Soul Bone?!"
His gaze grew even more greedy, another External Soul Bone.
Boom!!
Bam!!
The two fists clashed, an ear-piercing boom resounded, leaving the villagers bewildered, with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths, quickly retreating.
Impermanence's subordinates also quickly retreated, astonished, standing behind Impermanence, and still being affected. This indicated that it wasn't a complete suppression; otherwise, the energy wave would never have reached them.
At the moment of collision, Impermanence was extremely shocked. Under the aghast gazes of all, Impermanence was sent flying backward.
Bam!
Impermanence crashed ten meters away, his right arm trembling with pain, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth, in disbelief.
"Why did the strength suddenly increase so much, my defense dropped by more than half at the moment of collision!"
Impermanence was extremely shocked. What was going on? Could it be because of the soul bone?
He stood up, his expression growing serious, realizing he had underestimated the opponent. Being this formidable was not only because of soul bones, soul rings, and Martial Souls.
"It seems your own potential, soul bones, soul rings, and Martial Souls are all terrifying, granting you such formidable combat power, no wonder you aren't afraid of me. Well, I won't hold back, I'll go all out!"
Impermanence's Seventh Soul Ring shone, using True Martial Soul, transforming into a gigantic blue-furred wind wolf, five meters tall and ten meters long, with a strong momentum.
Ye Yu's right arm and trunk External Soul Bone appeared, making Impermanence extremely excited.
"Hahahaha... unbelievable, truly unbelievable, you have four soul bones, and they're all External Soul Bones. You're the most terrifying genius I've ever encountered, no one in this world has ever been like you, and no one ever will be."
Impermanence was sure in his heart that if Ye Yu matured, he would definitely become the strongest on the continent. Unfortunately, he encountered him.
He was also certain that such a genius had never appeared before. Even Tang Hao, hailed as the continent's greatest genius of all time, the youngest Titled Douluo with combat power beyond his level, was far inferior in comparison.
Therefore, he was sure that for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even a million years, no matter how many geniuses emerged, they couldn't be as terrifying as Ye Yu.
Ye Yu said, "Don't be so sure. Even though I consider myself a super demon, who knows if someone as terrifying or more so than me might appear in the future. For example, my children in the future?"
Though this was a bit distant, he would surely marry and have children in the future, just not sure with whom yet.
Ye Yu realized that Rongrong and Zhuqing seemed to both secretly admire him.
Ye Yu felt that his charm with women would only grow better, being too excellent and perfect. Not out of narcissism, but as a fact.
Impermanence was briefly stunned, then sneered: "If you have children in the future, perhaps they might be as demonic as you. Even if someone surpasses you later, they might only be your descendants. But, have you not yet realized the situation? Do you think you can survive? Humph."
Impermanence's second and third soul rings shimmered, the hurricane around the wolf's body intensified with a humming sound as his body expanded to seven meters tall and fifteen meters long.
Then, the Fourth Soul Ring shone, Impermanence transformed into a blue light flashing forward, moving so fast that even Ye Yu dared not be careless.
As he charged, Impermanence lowly shouted: "Fourth Soul Skill! Wind Vortex Ball!"
Only to see that in front of Impermanence's wolf claw, countless blue wind streams flowed from around into a square shape, continuously compressing to form, in the blink of an eye, a highly dense rotating blue wind ball.
This made Ye Yu momentarily stunned, inevitably reminded of a move from a certain anime.
