"Ssshh—"
Fire Lin Golden Python hissed in agony—the feeling of its flesh being torn away was excruciating and nearly unbearable.
Yun Ze pressed the button in his hand.The circular soul tool on the left adjusted its firing angle, locking directly onto the python's vital point.
BOOM!Terrifying energy erupted from the circular soul tool like a violently erupting volcano.
Five golden claw-shaped blades shot forward, expanding rapidly in the wind. Sharp and domineering, they ripped space itself apart wherever they passed.
Compared to the Darkgolden Terrorclaws, these golden claws were not inferior at all—if anything, they were even more tyrannical and unstoppable.
"Aooouu—!"A majestic dragon roar resonated across the heaven and earth—the sound came from the claws themselves, like a Dragon King roaring in fury.
Dragon God Claw, Di Tian's signature technique, passed down from the original Dragon God—now his strongest killing move.
After exhausting the stored abilities of Bear Lord and Ten-Thousand Demon King within the soul tools—and being too far away to recharge them—Yun Ze asked Di Tian to infuse the Dragon God Claw ability into the devices.Now, all three soul tools contained stored Dragon God Claw attacks.
Although this meant the attacks were singular in type, the overwhelming power compensated for that weakness.Three consecutive top-tier Dragon God Claw strikes were enough to kill even an Ultimate Douluo.
However, the soul tools could only store 80% of the full power of the ability—any more and they would collapse from the strain.
But even at 80%, the destructive power released by the soul tools was terrifyingly immense.
Five-Element Qilin's expression changed slightly as he sensed the attack's power.His gaze snapped toward Yun Ze, disbelief filling his eyes.
This human child…
The other soul beasts were shocked by the energy fluctuations and scrambled to move away, not daring to face the incoming strike.
Fire Lin Golden Python's entire body tensed—an intense sense of crisis surged through him, pupils contracting sharply.
Seeing the golden claws flying toward him, he panicked.Even at the brink of death, he reacted instantly and activated his innate talent ability.
His golden scales burst with blinding radiance, growing larger and twice as thick—his defensive power skyrocketed to its maximum.
At the same time, his body curled into a coil, shielding his head at the center. His vital points were almost fully protected from a direct blow.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!Five metallic collision sounds rang out nearly simultaneously.
The Dragon God Claws, carrying monstrous energy, pushed the coiled python along the ground.
At the moment of impact, his scales were pierced and split open, and the claws dug deeper and deeper.
"Ahh—!"One soul beast failed to dodge and was sent flying by the crashing python, suffering serious injuries.
Mountains shattered as the python was forcibly pushed along, thrown more than a kilometer through the landscape.
BOOM!He crashed into another mountain, half the peak caving inward, rubble exploding everywhere.
Silence fell—other than falling rocks and distant echoes, the entire area went quiet.
The soul beasts from the small space were utterly stunned.They never expected such an outcome.
Fire Lin Golden Python was second only to Five-Element Qilin—remarkably strong.Yet he had been blown away like that?
And not only knocked aside—judging from the strength of the attack, he was clearly seriously wounded.
Once they realized this, the shock among the soul beasts deepened.They looked at Yun Ze with fear and hostility—and killing intent—yet still slowly moved closer.
Yun Ze remained expressionless, ignoring their hostile stares as he pressed the second button.
BOOM!Another terrifying blast erupted—identical to before—and another Dragon God Claw streaked out.
Seeing the golden claws again, the soul beasts abruptly stopped approaching, scattering in fear that they might be hit.
Fire Lin Golden Python uncoiled his body—collapsing the surrounding mountainside.Five long, deep claw marks were visible along his enormous torso.
The power of the Dragon God Claw was overwhelming.Even after maximizing his defense, he still couldn't endure it.
His body was almost sliced into six pieces—the claw marks cut four-fifths through his massive body, even severing his bones.In essence, he was already in six pieces.
"Ssshhh—"His shrill screams were filled with hatred and unwillingness—the killing intent freezing the surrounding air.
Another surge of danger came.He stopped roaring and tried desperately to escape.
But the attack was too fast—he was severely injured—and without bones connecting his segments, he couldn't move properly.
He struggled with all his strength, but it was meaningless—he could not evade the incoming claw strike.
The Dragon God Claw pierced through him entirely, dragging what remained of his body several hundred meters before stopping.
"Ai… truly bringing about your own destruction." Five-Element Qilin sighed.He turned his gaze away—not wanting to see the scene.
He had considered saving Fire Lin Golden Python—after all, they had lived together for hundreds of thousands of years. To say there was no emotional bond would be a lie.
But reason held him back.The python had attacked the Beast God's Master—saving him would be opposing the future ruler of the soul beast race.
Between rescuing Fire Lin Golden Python and supporting the Beast Lord, the choice was obvious—the future of their entire race relied on that decision.
"Serves him right." Gu Yuena said coldly, feeling wholly satisfied.
Di Tian showed no pity.Fire Lin Golden Python had brought this upon himself—if he had behaved, he would never have met such a fate.
His body was now completely separated into multiple pieces, each segment still faintly twitching.
His mouth continued to open and shut, and his eyes stared wide—the cold, resentful gaze unnerving to behold.He died full of unwillingness.
The energy within his body gathered together, condensing into an orange soul ring that slowly rose into the air.
The appearance of this ring confirmed the death of the 400,000+ year-old Fire Lin Golden Python.
"Roar!"The three soul beasts who had followed him roared furiously, baring their fangs at Yun Ze.
"Kill them all." Yun Ze said calmly—clearly no longer planning to act himself.
Di Tian understood that the command was meant for him.After a brief hesitation, he moved to attack.
He believed those three could still be spared—kept alive to serve the Dragon Phoenix Hall and redeem themselves.
After all, they were hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—strong and useful.Keeping them alive was surely better than killing them.
But Yun Ze had spoken—so there was no choice.
Di Tian instantly flashed to the Xuanming King Snake and struck its head with a palm.
The fierce expression of the Xuanming King Snake vanished—fear replacing it.Before Di Tian, he couldn't resist at all.
But—Five-Element Qilin suddenly appeared before the Xuanming King Snake and blocked the fatal strike.
