Chapter 201 The Annihilation Beast Submits! Huo Yuhao: What's that commotion?
And at this moment...
The body of the Destroyer Beast, which had been dormant in the glacial crevice, switched from hibernation to combat mode the instant it sensed the presence of outsiders.
Its horny shell, covered with dark red patterns, began to vibrate violently, and a strong energy field formed around its body, causing the surrounding air to distort noticeably.
It sensed a threat.
This soul beast, with a cultivation of 100,000 years, did not choose to flee, but instead leaped directly out of the ice crevice.
Its six-meter-long body created gusts of wind in mid-air, and the sharp horn on its head was aimed directly at the direction of Poison Undying, launching a direct attack.
Its movements were extremely decisive, without any warning.
Poison Undying stood still, without moving.
He had his hands tucked into his sleeves, and his eyelids were half-closed.
Just before the destructive horn was about to strike him, nine spirit rings rose up around his body one after another.
Two yellows, two purples, two blacks, and three reds.
The crimson spirit ring glowed with a rich, bloody light under the night sky, and the aura it emitted directly suppressed the charging momentum of the Destruction Beast.
The momentum of the Destruction Beast's charge came to an abrupt halt when it collided with Poison Undying a meter away.
Its massive body was blocked by an invisible wall of soul power. No matter how hard it tried, its claws scratched deep marks on the ice, but its body could not move forward even an inch.
The grayish-white light in its eyes became even more chaotic, and it emitted bursts of hissing.
The poison-ineffective creature finally made a move.
He raised his right hand, but instead of using his Martial Soul True Body, he gathered his soul power in his palm and gently patted the head of the Destruction Beast.
*Smack*
The palm struck the side of the Destruction Beast without any fancy moves, yet it carried a heavy shockwave.
The Destroyer's hard keratinous shell did not shatter under this attack; instead, the power of the Poison Undying directly acted on the inside of its skull.
The massive body of the soul beast was flipped over by this slap, sliding horizontally for more than ten meters on the ice, smashing several huge ice rocks before finally coming to a stop.
The Destroyer Beast struggled to stand up, its eyes filled with horror.
The attack just now didn't seriously injure it, but it did cause a brief pause in its soul power circulation.
It finally realized that the human in front of it was not someone it could contend with.
So it stopped bothering.
It used the power accumulated by the dark red patterns on its back to try to escape into the void.
Poison Undying was not surprised to see it trying to escape.
"Trying to run?"
Poison Undying took a step forward, his figure appearing directly above the Destroyer Beast.
He didn't even use his soul skills; he simply relied on the physical strength of his body, honed through countless trials, to stomp on the back of the Destruction Beast in mid-air.
The immense pressure drove it back into the ground.
Then, Poison Undying began his attack. He swung his fists and unleashed a barrage of blows at the Destroyer Beast.
Each punch generates a powerful shockwave that penetrates the soul beast's shell and affects its internal organs.
The Destruction Beast was so disoriented that the destructive energy that had been gathered on its body completely dissipated.
Liu Yuan and Long Aotian stood at the rear, observing the battle.
Long Aotian shook his head as he watched Du Busi's brutal fighting style: "Master's attack methods are always so direct."
"Yes, that's what's called the aesthetics of violence," Liu Yuan replied.
At this moment, the Destroyer Beast was completely limp on the ground, constantly emitting weak breaths, which was a sign that its life force was rapidly draining away.
Poison Undying withdrew his soul power, straightened his body, turned to look at Liu Yuan, and said in a calm voice: "It has lost its ability to fight. Now it's your turn."
Liu Yuan strode forward.
He walked up to the enormous, destructive beast.
Sensing the approach of humans, the Destroyer let out a final threatening roar, but under the oppressive gaze of the Undying Poison, the roar sounded extremely weak.
With a thought, Liu Yuan released the dark golden "Earth-Splitting Rhinoceros" spirit from Long Aotian's shoulder.
The small rhinoceros spirit appeared above the Destruction Beast's head. It was not afraid of this colossal creature of 100,000 years, but instead curiously examined it.
The Destroyer looked at the semi-transparent little creature, its wariness becoming even more complex.
"As you can see, it was once a 20,000-year-old earth-shattering rhinoceros, and it still exists now, just in a different way."
Liu Yuan crouched down and began to communicate mentally with this 100,000-year-old soul beast. His voice echoed clearly in the beast's sea of consciousness.
"You have lived in the Sun and Moon Forest for 100,000 years. The tribulation of lightning is approaching, and for a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the tribulation of lightning is an insurmountable chasm. Once you choose to die, your wisdom, your abilities, and your 100,000 years of accumulation will all turn to nothingness."
"Now, you have two paths before you."
"First, become my soul. As a soul, you will gain eternal life. If I become a god, you will also enter that level with me."
"Second, I will kill you on the spot. I will take your soul ring and completely erase your intelligence."
Liu Yuan's words were unadorned; they simply stated the cruelest reality.
He also activated his double pupils, revealing a powerful energy fluctuation that allowed the Destroyer Beast to directly perceive his talent and potential.
"You are strong, but I am stronger than you think. Follow me, and your future will be much better than waiting for tribulation lightning in this cold glacier."
The Destroyer fell silent. A struggle flickered in its greyish-white eyes.
These 100,000-year-old soul beasts are no less intelligent than humans.
It weighs the complete annihilation that comes with death against the "future" that may exist after becoming a spirit.
It looked at Liu Yuan, then at the rhinoceros spirit that was moving freely on Long Aotian's shoulder.
The steady fluctuations of soul power emanating from the rhinoceros spirit finally moved it.
It lowered its heavy head, showing its submission to Liu Yuan.
"very good."
Liu Yuan stood up, a satisfied expression on his face. He immediately gave a command to Electrox in his sea of consciousness: "Elder Electrox, make your move."
"clear."
Electrolux's voice rang in Liu Yuan's mind, and then the gray soul energy began to flow from Liu Yuan's forehead, slowly covering the entire body of the Destruction Beast.
To ensure the ritual would proceed without fail, Poison Undying reactivated his defensive domain, completely shielding the area. He vigilantly surveyed his surroundings, preventing any leaks of his presence or any interference with the ritual.
In another valley area of the forest.
Huo Yuhao, Keke, and Ju Zi were conducting a routine test of a humanoid soul tool, but just now, all three of them stopped at the same time.
They sensed vibrations coming from afar.
The tremor wasn't an earthquake, but rather a shockwave generated by the collision of soul forces. Despite the great distance, the fluctuation was still clearly transmitted to Huo Yuhao's sea of consciousness through the perception of the ultimate ice.
"Yuhao, did you sense it?" Keke put down the core array blueprint in her hand, her brows furrowed slightly, and looked towards the depths of the northern forest.
"I sensed it." Huo Yuhao's expression was solemn. He looked at Ju Zi beside him. "The energy fluctuations over there are very strong."
"How about we go take a look?" Orange suggested.
Huo Yuhao remained silent for a long time before answering, "Let's go!"
