Chapter 161: The Undying Body
As soon as the Undying Hellfire Dragon broke through to the 100,000-year level, everyone launched another round of attacks.
It was clear to all that the difference between a 100,000-year soul beast and a non-100,000-year soul beast was immense. They attacked the Undying Hellfire Dragon with everything they had, as it seemed like a great terror was about to emerge if they hesitated.
After continuous attacks, the Undying Hellfire Dragon let out a tremendous dragon roar, and its body erupted in flames as it rapidly recovered.
Especially the injured head, which quickly regenerated, appearing even more terrifying than before, as if surpassing the state it was in before breaking the 100,000-year mark.
Yang Xiong shouted, "Everyone, focus your attacks on its head! Only if all ten heads are shattered will it truly be killed!"
For everyone present, most were at Title Douluo level, so even with some differences, their strength was not far apart.
Sword Douluo's Seven Kill Sword immediately grew to an enormous size, directly severing the Undying Hellfire Dragon's head, while the others used various methods to join the attack.
Soon, the Undying Hellfire Dragon was once again brought to the brink of death. All nine new heads that had sprouted were shattered, leaving only the final head struggling in its death throes.
Yang Xiong's third and fourth soul rings flashed simultaneously, activating his third soul skill, Dragon Elephant Body, and his fourth soul skill, Tyrant Dragon's Fury. With a single strike, he pierced through the last head.
Only then did the Undying Hellfire Dragon fall to the ground with a roar of unwillingness, a blood-red soul ring appearing beside it.
Everyone looked at the soul ring, swallowing nervously. Even Sword Douluo could not help but sigh.
Given Sword Douluo's strength and talent, absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring would not have been a problem. Unfortunately, he had never found a suitable 100,000-year soul beast for himself. This was his greatest regret, and the barrier that limited his cultivation to higher levels of soul masters.
Lin Gong spoke, "Xiong, you must think this through. The Undying Hellfire Dragon's strength is far more formidable than we anticipated. If we hadn't acted quickly, I felt when it broke through to 100,000 years, it would have been stronger than the Heavenly Blue Bull Python in the Star Dou Forest."
"If we weren't prepared in advance, we probably wouldn't have been able to kill this 100,000-year Undying Hellfire Dragon, let alone after it devoured the core you had. Its bloodline has likely advanced even further, evolving into a monster we don't fully understand."
Yang Xiong looked at the 100,000-year soul ring with a determined expression. "Teacher, we've come this far. There's no turning back now."
Yang Xiong sat next to the Undying Hellfire Dragon, preparing to absorb the soul ring.
Sword Douluo could not help but sigh. "Failure means death. Perhaps this 100,000-year soul ring will be your greatest opportunity. You're beginning to act with the same determination as my disciple."
After saying that, Sword Douluo stood protectively by Yang Xiong, while the others quickly spread out to form a protective circle around him. Bai He went on to scout the surroundings.
Yang Xiong's expression was extremely serious, even slightly grim. The 100,000-year soul ring was widely regarded as the greatest treasure in the soul master world. Despite all his preparation, Yang Xiong still felt uncertain.
Of course, Yang Xiong had also considered that absorbing the 100,000-year soul bone first might enhance his body's strength, but the energy from the 100,000-year soul bone was far too powerful to be absorbed in just a few hours.
To be clear, in the original story, Tang San spent three days absorbing the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone. This soul bone was already the same source as his martial soul. To absorb the Undying Hellfire Dragon's soul bone, it would likely take even longer.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, summoned his martial soul and soul rings, and used his mental energy to pull the blood-red soul ring toward his sixth soul ring position.
As the soul ring settled on his body, a vast torrent of energy surged into Yang Xiong. It felt as if he were submerged in a sea of fire, or possibly immersed in complete darkness.
The intense fire attribute energy seemed to want to burn his body to ashes, boiling his blood and causing his skin to crack open, with blood pouring from every orifice.
At the same time, an incredibly terrifying dark attribute energy flooded into his body. It felt as if he were trapped in a bottomless abyss, as though he were being consumed by a massive black hole.
In his spiritual sea, where a blood-red giant had originally stood, an incredibly terrifying Undying Hellfire Dragon appeared, with ten heads growing from it. Each head did not grow on its original neck but from ten separate necks. It looked like a fearsome ancient beast.
The blood-red giant faced the Undying Hellfire Dragon, and it seemed as if his entire body was being swallowed, gradually melting away.
As it seemed that Yang Xiong might explode from the pressure of absorbing the 100,000-year soul ring, the others around him grew incredibly worried, unable to bear the sight of his suffering.
Sword Douluo, however, remained serious. "Yang Xiong has ambition. If he wants an unprecedented 100,000-year sixth soul ring, he must bear the consequences. Even if he fails, he is my only disciple. I will protect him for life!"
Just then, Yang Xiong let out a powerful roar, his body exuding an endless aura of dominance, and a deep unwillingness in his voice.
In that instant, Yang Xiong's God of Slaughter domain manifested. His originally blood-red body began emitting boundless light, and all the golden markings on his body began to glow.
At the same time, all his soul bones lit up, especially the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor right leg bone, which now emitted a strange red light. The red glow not only carried a killing aura but also a very powerful life force.
Under this aura, Yang Xiong's body, which had started to crack, rapidly began to heal, though it was quickly shattered again by the energy of the soul ring. His body seemed to be constantly breaking and healing.
Yang Xiong's body now seemed to become a massive Taiji symbol. Whether it was the fire attribute or the dark attribute energy, they now flowed like Yin and Yang, continuously washing through every cell, every drop of blood, and every fiber of his bones.
The most troublesome part was Yang Xiong's spiritual sea. Although the blood-red giant emitted endless light, it still could not match the terrifying Undying Hellfire Dragon. It seemed as though it would be devoured at any moment.
At this critical moment, the head soul bone suddenly emitted a brilliant light, as though providing Yang Xiong with an endless supply of spiritual energy.
Indeed, the 85,000-year Blue Silver King had given Yang Xiong not a spiritual attack soul bone skill, but a soul skill similar to the Blue Silver Emperor's: Endless Life.
But this soul skill was not related to physical life force but to spiritual energy. As long as this head soul bone remained, Yang Xiong's spiritual energy would never be overwhelmed, providing a rare and valuable boost to his mental power.
In Yang Xiong's spiritual sea, it felt like a battle between life and death. With the help of the Blue Silver King's head soul bone's Endless Life skill, no matter how strong the Undying Hellfire Dragon was, it could never crush Yang Xiong's spiritual sea.
Time passed, and after what seemed like an eternity, Yang Xiong's body gradually began to calm down. The blood that had flowed from his skin and seven orifices seemed to have been dried up by the flames, and his martial soul also began to settle.
When Yang Xiong opened his eyes again, an immense pressure radiated from him. It was the unique aura of a 100,000-year soul ring, so powerful that even Sword Douluo could feel the pressure.
Everyone around him finally let out a breath of relief, looking at Yang Xiong as if he were a monster. A 100,000-year sixth soul ring—this was unprecedented, and it might never happen again in the future.
Both Sword Douluo and the members of the Body Sect smiled, seemingly relieved to have witnessed the birth of a miracle.
Sword Douluo rarely showed such satisfaction. "This is my disciple. Perhaps, in the future, he will become a legend throughout the Douluo Continent."
The members of the Body Sect showed admiration. This was their leader, the founder of the Body Sect. With Yang Xiong's talent and strength, he would surely take the Body Sect to unprecedented heights, even surpassing the Three Upper Sects one day.
Just as Yang Xiong was reveling in his success, Sword Douluo handed him a black soul bone. It was a left leg soul bone that looked incredibly special.
"Xiong, this 100,000-year Undying Hellfire Dragon has a left leg soul bone. You should absorb it as well. Soul bones can only reach their full potential when paired with a suitable soul ring."
Yang Xiong did not hesitate and immediately began absorbing it.
After absorbing both the soul ring and the soul bone, Yang Xiong felt incredibly powerful. His body seemed to have reached an unprecedented state, as if he had terrifying strength with every move he made.
Lin Gong spoke, "Let's leave here. After all, we're still in the Sunset Forest, which is full of dangers."
Yang Xiong nodded. "Teacher Lin, how long did it take me to absorb the soul ring and soul bone?"
Lin Gong replied helplessly, "You took quite a long time this time. It took eleven days to absorb the soul ring and another five days to absorb the soul bone."
Yang Xiong was surprised. He hadn't expected it to take so long, but he was relieved he hadn't absorbed the soul bone first.
In fact, Yang Xiong had prepared for this. In the original story, Tang San spent three days and nights absorbing the eighth soul ring. Yang Xiong was only a quasi-Soul Emperor, so taking this much time for the sixth soul ring was normal. Moreover, Yang Xiong felt that the Undying Hellfire Dragon, after evolving, was even stronger than the Evil Soul Tiger King.
After absorbing the soul ring and soul bone, Yang Xiong not only felt immensely stronger, but his soul power had reached an astonishing level 66.
He felt his body had been further enhanced, more complete than ever before. This was the effect of a 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone—the greatest treasures in the soul master world.
Moreover, after absorbing the soul ring, Yang Xiong was pleasantly surprised. It had given him two completely different skills, one of which was the fire attribute energy he had longed for.
Now, Yang Xiong had mastered four of the five elements: metal, wood, water, and fire. The fire attribute energy corresponded to his heart, and after adding this soul ring, his heart became incredibly powerful, with energy flowing endlessly throughout his body.
Yang Xiong also gained four excellent soul bone skills.
Sixth Soul Ring Skill 1: Undying Body.
When activated, this soul skill makes the user effectively immortal. Even if the body is shattered, it can quickly regenerate and recover.
Yang Xiong was stunned by this soul skill. For the Body Martial Soul, this skill was nearly invincible. With it, he no longer had to fear being targeted.
In the past, the Body Martial Soul had a clear weakness—when the body was damaged, like if an arm or finger was severed, the martial soul would break as well, making recovery difficult. But with this soul skill, the Body Martial Soul's weakness was entirely compensated for. Yang Xiong now felt confident enough to challenge even a real Title Douluo. Even if he couldn't win, he wouldn't be easily killed.
Sixth Soul Ring Skill 2: Ghostly Dragon Claw.
When activated, this skill summons a giant ghostly dragon claw with the power of ghostly fire. It possesses immense strength, capable of shredding anything, ignoring all defenses.
