—------------------—
Dugu Xin has recently acquired the power of the Poison Dragon. Its potent poison is extremely effective in weakening soul beasts and restricting their movement, making it particularly suitable for combat in complex environments.
Wei Long is very strong. The Golden Crow of Fire greatly enhances his strength, which is enough to hold back the target soul beast.
However, not too many are needed.
After all, it was just to send the two of them out for some training.
Most importantly, there's Wei Zhenshan, a level 96 expert whose actual combat strength is comparable to a level 98 peak Douluo.
A soul core, several 100,000-year-old soul bones, and soul skills with extreme attributes and unpredictable nature.
It is enough to fight across two levels.
As for the other titled individuals, they need to remain in the sect to guard against unforeseen circumstances, since the sect is now a target of attention and must be protected.
The group of five left the Burning Heaven Sect quietly without alerting many people.
They sped off towards the Starry Sky Forest.
At their speed, it didn't take long for them to reach the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
A rich sense of life, mingled with a faint air of ferocity, assaults the senses. Towering ancient trees block out the sun, making it feel as if one has stepped into another primitive and dangerous world.
"Niu Gao, your martial soul has now evolved. The Earth Rhinoceros Dragon combines strength, defense, and a trace of dragon might, giving it a natural advantage over earth-attribute soul beasts."
Your ninth spirit ring should target a top-tier earth or dragon-attribute spirit beast that is at least 80,000 years old, preferably one known for its defense, or possessing powerful domain or amplification skills.
While releasing his vast spiritual power to sense his surroundings, Wei Zhenshan spoke to Niu Gao.
The only 100,000-year-old soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest are the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.
But these two guys are stubborn and won't listen to reason. If we go head-to-head, we might not get the 100,000-year soul ring, and at most we might get two 100,000-year soul bones.
Wei Feng also explained it to Wei Zhenshan.
Later, we can use Xiao Wu as leverage to acquire these two spirit rings in the Star Dou Great Forest.
"We leave the decision entirely to the Sect Master and all the elders!"
Niu Gao responded in a deep voice.
He was filled with excitement, but he also knew the importance of the ninth spirit ring and dared not be careless in the slightest.
Niu Gao truly dared not hope for a 100,000-year soul ring.
After all, even Wei Zhenshan himself only had a 90,000-year soul ring.
Wei Zhenshan nodded, looking at Wei Tianfen and Dugu Xin: "Tianfen, you are responsible for direct aura attraction and strong attack probing; Xin'er, your Poison Dragon Domain and poison skills are responsible for weakening and controlling the field, especially dealing with those soul beasts that are good at hiding or escaping; Long'er, you support all sides and be ready to use your Burning Heaven Domain to seal off the battlefield at any time."
"Understood!" the three replied in unison.
With four titled Douluo, including one at the peak of level 96 and two powerful individuals with 100,000-year soul rings, escorting them to hunt for a ninth soul ring, such a lineup is considered luxurious even on the entire continent.
Without further hesitation, the five people, like five ghostly figures, went straight into the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, the border area with the core zone.
In this region, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts are everywhere, and there are even powerful beings that are over fifty thousand years old.
However, under Wei Zhenshan's undisguised terrifying aura and the subtle pressure from the other three Title Douluos, most of the soul beasts instinctively chose to retreat and dared not approach easily.
They searched along the way and encountered several earth-attribute soul beasts that were seventy or eighty thousand years old, such as the "Earth-Shaking Divine Ox" and the "Mysterious Rock Giant Turtle".
They were all quite strong, but after careful observation, Wei Zhenshan felt that their potential or skills were not the best match for Niu Gao's evolved Earth Rhinoceros Dragon Martial Soul, so he gave up on them.
On this day, they had already ventured deep into the edge of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The trees here are much older and larger, and the concentration of soul power and the aura of danger in the air have increased exponentially.
Suddenly, Wei Zhenshan stopped and raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
His deep gaze fell on a seemingly calm valley filled with jagged rocks to his left, and a look of solemnity mixed with satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Such strong earth elemental fluctuations...and a dormant dragon's might...Found it!"
Following his gaze, everyone focused their spiritual energy and sensed that deep within the valley, there was a heavy, solid aura, like the pulse of the earth, seemingly integrated with the entire mountain range.
Deep within that aura, there was also a restrained yet pure and ancient dragon-like pressure.
"This aura... is at least 90,000 years old! It might even be approaching the 100,000-year threshold!"
A hint of excitement flashed in Wei Tianfen's eyes. Such a powerful earth dragon-attribute soul beast was the ideal target.
"Be careful, it's dormant, but its senses are extremely sharp. Once awakened, it will strike with lightning speed."
Dugu Xin gave a sinister warning, as a faint purple poisonous mist began to emanate from his body.
Wei Zhenshan nodded slightly, his spiritual power like the finest tentacles, quietly seeping into the valley.
After a moment, Wei Zhenshan said in a low voice:
"It's the 'Rock Turtle'!"
A top-tier defensive soul beast with a faint true dragon bloodline. Its defense is monstrous among soul beasts of the same level, and its strength is also immense. It is adept at manipulating the power of rocks and the earth.
Judging from the degree of its condensation, its age should be around 95,000 years, which is very close to 100,000 years!
"This is the perfect spirit ring for Niu Gao!"
Rock Turtle!
Ninety-five thousand years!
Upon hearing this, Niu Gao's breathing quickened, and a burning light flashed in his eyes.
This is a spirit ring that was tailor-made for him!
"Form ranks! Prepare to attack!"
Wei Zhenshan made a decisive decision.
"Tianfen, launch a frontal assault and lure it out!"
Xin'er, the poisonous fog has sealed off the valley, preventing it from taking advantage of the terrain!
Taki'er, prepare the Heavenly Blaze Domain to prevent it from burrowing underground or summoning the Rock Domain!
Niu Gao, be ready at any time to deliver the final blow and take the hit of his spirit ring!
Wei Zhenshan did not pay much attention to this.
It's not that I look down on Niu Gao.
Instead, four titled warriors attacked together against a 95,000-year-old soul beast whose combat strength was only that of an ordinary titled Douluo, and it was even defensive.
He didn't even need to lift a finger.
This is a good opportunity to hone Wei Long and Dugu Xin's skills.
"yes!"
Upon receiving the order, the four Title Douluos sprang into action instantly!
Wei Tianfen let out a long roar, his body swelled up, his red hair turned like fire, and he instantly activated the true form of the Angry Dragon Douluo.
Like a fiery war god, it charged directly into the valley.
A punch carrying the terrifying power to burn mountains and boil seas slammed into that seemingly ordinary mountain wall!
"BOOM—!!!"
A deafening roar, like the earth splitting apart, resounded, and the entire valley trembled! The "mountain wall" shook violently, and amidst the flying debris, an enormous figure revealed its true form!
It was a giant tortoise, as big as a small mountain, with a dark brown shell.
It is covered with ancient patterns that resemble dragon scales.
Its head resembled a dragon but was not; its eyes were like two bright yellow lanterns, now filled with a furious rage at being disturbed!
