Three days passed quickly, and a group of people quietly left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Cloud Mist Mountain.
This time, besides Yang Xiong, who was a Quasi Soul Emperor, the other six were all masters above Soul Douluo, and there were even three Titled Douluo. Their strength could be said to be extremely formidable.
Only Yang Xiong and Lin Gong had been to that place, so Lin Gong led the team. Bai He arranged for the Agility Clan to be responsible for reconnaissance. More than ten scouts from the entire Agility Clan had already infiltrated the Sunset Forest, constantly confirming if there were any abnormalities in the Sunset Forest.
After half a day, the group quickly arrived at that special black miasma.
The visibility here was extremely low. Not only were soul beasts extremely rare, but there were not even any plants. Moreover, the black miasma was highly poisonous.
The group cautiously walked towards the center of the black miasma. As expected, in the central area was a huge abyss, looking like a man-eating giant beast.
Normally, only Titled Douluo and Bai He could fly, so Sword Douluo simply summoned multiple Seven Kill Swords. Yang Xiong, Yang Wudi, and Niu Gao followed Sword Douluo at the back of the team.
As everyone gradually approached the bottom of the abyss, a terrifying fire attribute aura indeed emanated from it. However, this fire attribute aura was different from before. It wasn't as explosive as ordinary flames; instead, it appeared unusually eerie.
When everyone gradually got closer, they discovered a very terrifying soul beast at the bottom of the abyss.
This soul beast was over fifty meters long. From its physique, it looked somewhat like a giant dragon. Its body had four extremely sharp claws, and its entire body was covered in black scales. Its head was even larger than that of the Sky Blue Bull Python. On its head were not Dragon Horns, but a pair of huge bull horns.
Even stranger was that this soul beast was covered in black flames. Those flames seemed not to come from the human world, but from hell.
Lin Gong used the Purple Emperor Bamboo and soul power to envelop everyone, his expression extremely serious.
"Little Xiong, I didn't expect it to be an Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon. It's a top-grade soul beast with fire and darkness attributes. It's said that this kind of soul beast has long been extinct. I didn't expect one to still exist here."
"It is said that this kind of soul beast has extremely tenacious vitality, almost an undying existence. And judging by the condition of this soul beast, it should be just a little short of 100,000 years."
"Legend has it that this kind of soul beast possesses the bloodline of the Dragon Clan and also the bloodline of the divine beast Kui Niu. Its combat power is extremely formidable, probably no weaker than the Sky Blue Bull Python in the Star Dou Great Forest. In a sense, it might even be stronger."
Yang Xiong looked at the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon in front of him, his eyes filled with fervor: "Teacher Lin, I think this soul beast is very suitable for me. It's him."
Only then did the surrounding people understand. They didn't expect Yang Xiong to be so bold, wanting a soul beast of such high age for his Sixth Soul Ring. One must know that in the history of Soul Masters, the maximum age for a Sixth Soul Ring was only a little over 20,000 years, while the soul beast in front of them was close to 100,000 years. No wonder so many masters were gathered to hunt it. Even Sword Douluo was a little surprised.
Lin Gong nodded: "Alright, since you've made up your mind, we'll proceed according to the plan."
Niu Gao on the side quickly spoke: "Old Bamboo, Yang Xiong, are you really sure you want this soul beast? This is a soul beast that's almost 100,000 years old."
Yang Xiong nodded with a serious expression: "It's him. I have a certain confidence that I can absorb it."
After some arrangements, the few people confirmed the plan to deal with this Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon.
Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi were the first to attack. The huge Soul Breaking Spear and Seven Kill Sword descended from the sky, directly striking the head of the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon.
This quasi 100,000-year soul beast reacted extremely quickly. Seeing someone attacking it, its pair of huge Dragon Claws directly grabbed the two attacking peerless weapons.
And the Dragon Head Crutch in Lin Gong's hand transformed into a powerful giant dragon that pounced towards the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon. The giant dragon appeared incredibly fierce.
Lin Gong then summoned countless Purple Emperor Bamboo, completely enveloping the area around the abyss.
In contrast, Niu Gao transformed into a huge Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros and came to the rear of the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon, clearly intending to prevent it from escaping.
Bai He observed from the periphery, preventing any accidents.
Yang Xiong also didn't hesitate, directly using his Fifth Soul Skill: Crimson Blood Dragon Sword, and attacked alongside Sword Douluo.
However, this Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon was even more powerful than everyone had imagined. Its pair of Dragon Claws actually managed to firmly grasp the Soul Breaking Spear and Seven Kill Sword. Even with the attacks of Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi, they were blocked.
Yang Xiong swung his sword, unleashing a blood-red Sword Qi. Unfortunately, for the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon, the Sword Qi couldn't even break through the scales on its body. Its defense was indeed strong enough.
Seeing their attacks blocked, Lin Gong's Purple Emperor Bamboo transformed into countless bamboo thorns attacking the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon.
But the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon emitted boundless black flames from its body. The Purple Emperor Bamboo was actually scorched black, and Lin Gong even felt that these flames seemed to be burning not just the bamboo, but also the enemy's soul.
Sword Douluo and Yang Wudi exchanged glances. Instantly, countless Seven Kill Swords appeared in the sky. This was precisely his Sixth Soul Skill: Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.
Compared to Yang Xiong's Sword Qi, this move of Sword Douluo's was countless times more powerful. The Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's scales were instantly shattered, and many wounds appeared all over its body.
Yang Wudi then activated his Third Soul Skill: Rupture. The Soul Breaking Spear emitted a black light, its attack power increasing to an extremely terrifying level, directly shattering one of the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's Dragon Claws with a single strike.
The Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon, having been continuously attacked by the two, let out a mournful dragon roar.
Having been continuously attacked, the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon seemed to understand the strength of its enemies at this moment. It actually let out a human voice: "Humans, you dare to think of killing me? I would rather die than yield."
Everyone was startled. They hadn't expected this Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon to be able to speak without reaching 100,000 years. It seemed its bloodline and strength were indeed formidable.
After speaking, the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon actually turned its Dragon Head in that instant, seemingly intending to flee.
But before it could use its full strength to break out of the encirclement, Niu Gao, who had transformed into a Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros, had already blocked its escape route.
Niu Gao directly activated his Fifth Soul Skill: Copper Walls Iron Barriers.
The massive Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros and the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon collided. The entire abyss seemed to Quake. This was a collision of pure Strength between the two.
The massive bodies of the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon and the Plate Armor Giant Rhinoceros retreated dozens of meters. The Dragon Clan truly lived up to its reputation as the top Strength-type Soul Beast.
The Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon seemed to understand its current predicament. Surrounded by six top experts, surviving would likely be extremely difficult.
Just then, black flames surged from the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's body, reaching for the sky. These flames actually carried a hint of chilliness, making even Yang Xiong feel a bit of a shiver.
One must know that a normal 100,000-year Soul Beast has the strength of a Level 95 Titled Douluo, and the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon before them might even be stronger.
And under these black flames, the injuries on the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's body completely recovered. Even the Dragon Claw shattered by Yang Wudi was restored to its original state.
However, in contrast, the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's aura had slightly decreased, and its Soul Power had even dropped by a segment.
Sword Douluo said, "This Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon possesses the ability of an Undying Body. Even if its body is shattered, it can recover. But this state consumes Soul Power. As long as we continue to besiege it, it will surely die."
Everyone exchanged glances and instead intensified their attacks. The ability of an Undying Body was indeed powerful, but there was no truly immortal existence in this world. As long as consumption exceeded recovery, its Soul Power would eventually be insufficient.
After continuously besieging it for a full hour, the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon finally ran out of Soul Power and lay on the ground, its breath weak. Especially with its spiritual power suppressed by Sword Douluo, it didn't even have the possibility of self-detonation.
The Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's eyes were filled with rage: "Humans, you dare to think of obtaining my Soul Ring."
Unfortunately, even though the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon was unwilling, its four Dragon Claws had all been severed, and even its tail had been shattered. Its entire body was tightly wrapped by Purple Emperor Bamboo, and its Strength was completely suppressed, unable to even move.
Lin Gong said, "Little Xiong, you need to be quick, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain."
Yang Xiong nodded and walked directly to the massive Dragon Head of the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon.
The Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's eyes widened, revealing a hint of hatred: "A mere Quasi Soul Emperor actually wants to obtain my Soul Ring? You're simply courting death."
Yang Xiong didn't say anything. He directly took out a fiery red bead from his body. It was the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent.
When this fiery red Inner Core appeared, everyone present was surprised, especially since this Inner Core actually possessed extremely terrifying Fire attribute energy.
The Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon looked at the Inner Core with a hint of longing in its eyes. Clearly, it was also a Fire attribute Soul Beast and greatly desired this kind of Fire attribute treasure.
Yang Xiong didn't hesitate. He actually used his Soul Power to carry the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core into the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's mouth.
Niu Gao, who was standing nearby, quickly spoke up, "Yang Xiong, what are you trying to do? This Inner Core contains terrifying Fire attribute energy. I'm afraid it could help this Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon break through to its final limit. At that point, it will probably be even harder for us to kill it."
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "Senior Niu Gao, thank you for the reminder. What I want is not a Quasi 100,000-Year Soul Ring, but a true 100,000-Year Soul Ring."
Everyone was shocked again upon hearing this. According to Yang Xiong, did this mean his Sixth Soul Ring would be a 100,000-Year Soul Ring? Could his body withstand it?
Lin Gong spoke to the crowd, "Little Xiong and I have analyzed this for a long time. I've also tested his body several times recently. There might be a certain chance for him to absorb a 100,000-Year Soul Ring, which is why we specifically sought out this 100,000-Year Fire attribute Soul Beast."
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but no one said anything further.
After the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's Inner Core entered the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's mouth, the Fire attribute energy in the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon's body seemed about to explode. Its body changed at an extremely fast speed, especially its massive head, which was experiencing an extremely abnormal energy surge at this moment.
Everyone watched the changes in the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon intently. As the energy surged, the entire abyss seemed to vibrate. Even the originally black sky was filled with countless lightning bolts, as if something was about to break through a certain restriction.
After waiting for a full day, the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon, which had been extremely weak, let out a massive Dragon Roar. Nine huge fleshy lumps actually grew on its head. All the lumps seemed ready to break out of their shells at any moment, and its originally black flames underwent a qualitative change. Not only did they become colder, but they also became incredibly scorching hot.
Yang Xiong stared intently at the change in the flames. It was as if the flames had entered another level, and even the Darkness attribute had entered another level.
And at this instant, the nine fleshy lumps on its head directly broke out of their shells, turning into nine things that looked like heads, making it appear as if it had nine extra heads.
The Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon let out a terrifying Dragon Roar: "Humans, you dare to hunt me? Thank you for your treasure. From now on, I will be a truly immortal and indestructible existence. I am the strongest Soul Beast in the world."
It was at this moment that the Undead Netherworld Fire Dragon finally broke through the 100,000-year limit. The aura on its body also underwent a qualitative change, becoming more ferocious and more majestic.
