Chapter 218 Sky-Piercing Bear Emperor
After absorbing the spirit ring of the 200,000-year-old Golden Scorpion King, Yang Podi and his group searched for half a month in the Star Dou Great Forest, but still couldn't find a suitable spirit ring.
Logically speaking, fire-attribute soul beasts are usually concentrated in places like volcanoes, where there is scorching magma, which is more suitable for fire-attribute soul beasts to survive.
We'll probably have to search for water-attribute soul beasts in the ocean. I was thinking of looking for the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, but I probably can't beat him now.
Yang Podi and his group originally wanted to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but they couldn't even find a trace of it; they didn't know where it had gone.
After thinking it over carefully for a while, Yang Podi decided to go to the Lake of Life to take a look. There might be some good soul beasts there. Anyway, he still had four soul ring slots left. If all else failed, he would see if he could find a Azure Bull Python.
However, when Yang Podi arrived at the Lake of Life, there were obvious signs of a fight nearby, as if a major battle had taken place. Chrysanthemum petals could even be found, indicating that Chrysanthemum Douluo had been there.
Yang Podi pondered to himself: Could it be that Bibi Dong sent Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to capture Xiao Wu, resulting in a great battle here? But there haven't been any sacrificial phenomena recently. Within the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, if a sacrifice were to occur and produce a special red light, it shouldn't be undetectable.
The Lake of Life is indeed rich in spiritual energy, making it ideal for cultivation by humans and soul beasts. No wonder it is considered the foundation of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After spending several days around the Lake of Life, they didn't see Xiao Wu, let alone the Titan Ape or the Azure Bull Python.
Yang Tianyue seemed a little irritated as she spoke, "Brother, I've been feeling a bit strange these past few days, like some kind of danger is approaching. And we haven't found any high-level soul beasts these past few days, isn't that a bit odd?"
Yang Podi paused for a moment before speaking, "Let's go back first. Something's definitely not right around here."
However, after walking only half a kilometer, the six of them encountered a very burly middle-aged man. This man was 2.5 meters tall, with abnormally exaggerated muscles all over his body, and his aura looked extremely fierce, completely unlike an ordinary soul master.
The burly middle-aged man spoke with a fierce expression: "Is it you who have recently killed so many 100,000-year-old soul beasts?"
Yang Podi could feel a strong threat from the middle-aged man in front of him. Logically speaking, with his current strength, apart from the three Limit Douluo, no one should be able to pose a great threat to him.
Yang Podi looked at the burly middle-aged man in front of him with a serious expression: "Who are you? Why are you paying attention to us?"
"You don't need to know who I am, just die."
The burly middle-aged man only said one sentence, and then threw a punch at Yang Podi. The power in this punch seemed to be extremely strong, as if it could shatter everyone.
Yang Podi quickly summoned his martial soul and soul rings, gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear with both hands, and thrust it at the middle-aged man with all his might.
The blade of the Soul-Breaking Spear collided with the fist of the burly middle-aged man. Yang Podi was forced back five meters, while a faint wound appeared on the fist of the middle-aged man opposite him. However, he only retreated one meter, which clearly showed that he was stronger than Yang Podi.
Seeing this, the other five summoned their own martial spirits and spirit rings, intending to attack the burly middle-aged man.
However, the burly middle-aged man roared, "A bunch of ants dare to try and hurt me? Today you will all die!"
After saying that, the burly middle-aged man simply swung his arm and withstood the attacks of the five people. Even Yang Tianyue's Trident of the Sea God was blocked by his powerful body.
Immediately afterwards, two claws appeared on the burly middle-aged man's hands, reaching directly at Yang Podi as if they could tear through space.
Yang Podi hurriedly used the Soul-Breaking Spear to block, but three huge claw marks appeared directly on the Soul-Breaking Spear, and even Yang Podi himself was cleaved several meters away.
Yang Podi gritted his teeth and activated his weapon spirit true form. The huge Soul-Breaking Spear collided with the middle-aged man's claws again. This time, the middle-aged man retreated three meters, and Yang Podi himself also retreated three meters.
Yang Podi spoke with unusual seriousness: "Are you Lord Xiong?"
The burly middle-aged man laughed wildly: "I never thought there would be anyone in this world who knows me, Lord Xiong. It seems I can't let you live."
"Everyone be careful, don't confront him head-on."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, his eighth soul ring flashed, and he directly used his eighth soul skill: Golden Behemoth Slash. He swung the Soul-Breaking Spear, and a huge beam of light appeared on the spear and slashed towards Xiong Jun, as if it would tear the sky apart.
Bear King seemed unusually fierce, directly using his steel claws to tear at the Golden Behemoth Slash; it was Bear King's Dark Gold Terror Claw.
The Dark Gold Terror Claw and the Golden Behemoth Slash collided, seemingly tearing the entire space apart—truly a clash of ultimate gold.
Even so, Yang Podi did not gain any advantage. This was the first time someone had withstood Yang Podi's 100,000-year soul skill.
The five people around him also used their weapon spirit forms, wanting to step forward and assist Yang Podi.
But Xiong Jun on the other side simply tore with his bear claws, and Niu Meng's plate armor giant rhinoceros and Dugu Yan's Azure Phosphorous Serpent King were directly cleaved in huge wounds, while Yang Ping'an's Thunder Dragon Spear was directly cleaved away, and even Yang Tianyue and the Sea God Trident were forced back more than ten meters.
Yang Podi spoke with a vicious look on his face: "Xiong Jun, you're courting death."
Yang Podi's multiple spirit rings flashed as he simultaneously activated his first spirit skill, Thousand-Pound Power, and his third spirit skill, Golden Power. The Soul-Breaking Spear instantly became extremely heavy, and both its strength and attack power increased several times over.
Immediately afterwards, Yang Podi gripped the Soul-Breaking Spear and thrust it forward like a dragon. The Soul-Breaking Spear seemed to tear space apart, and even emitted bursts of dragon roars.
However, Xiong Jun on the other side was also exceptionally fierce, attacking directly with his Dark Gold Terror Claws. The two sides clashed repeatedly in just a moment. Whether it was the Soul-Breaking Spear thrusting forward multiple times or Xiong Jun's claws tearing through the air multiple times, neither side gained any advantage. Of course, both of them had several wounds on their bodies, and both seemed to have become exceptionally fierce.
As for the other five, their attacks had no effect on Xiong Jun at all. Dugu Yan and Niu Meng couldn't even break through Xiong Jun's defense; it was like tickling him.
Yang Ping'an and Yang Tianyue are far inferior to Xiong Jun in both attack power and strength. Even when Yang Tianyue uses the Trident of the Sea God, she can only injure Xiong Jun. The difference in their soul power is too great. It is estimated that Xiong Jun has reached the Limit Douluo level, while Yang Tianyue is only a Soul Douluo. Even with a set of top-grade soul bones, the gap is still huge.
Yang Tianyue was seen using a halberd technique he had never seen before, and a huge blue phantom appeared in the sky, like a sea god. This must be the Golden Thirteen Halberds taught by the sea god.
Yang Ping'an transformed into lightning, unleashing his ninth soul skill: Thunderous Strike Under Heaven. The entire Thunder Dragon Spear transformed into a thunder dragon, rapidly advancing.
Yang Podi's eighth spirit ring flashed again, this time using his eighth spirit skill: Earth Behemoth Break. The huge Soul-Breaking Spear pierced directly towards Xiong Jun at high speed. This was under the condition of using two amplification spirit skills, and its attack power was almost at its limit.
The bear on the other side roared and its body instantly grew to a gigantic size, transforming into a 15-meter-tall dark gold dinosaur. Its body was covered with a thick layer of dark gold fur, and its arms were incredibly long, hanging down at its sides. For such a massive body, the length of its arms was even longer than its knees. Moreover, its entire body was exceptionally strong, displaying extreme power and metal properties.
As Xiong Jun faced the attacks of the three, his two claws suddenly became exceptionally terrifying, as if they could tear the heavens and earth apart—this was Xiong Jun's Sky-Tearing Claws.
This earth-shattering attack forced all three of them, including Xiong Jun and Yang Podi, to retreat considerably. Clearly, neither side had gained a significant advantage, and both had sustained numerous wounds.
Ye Lingling quickly used the Nine Heart Begonia to treat the five people. Although their wounds were healing, the treatment effect was significantly worse than before. It seemed that an invisible force was blocking the healing of the wounds. You should know that Ye Lingling is now a Title Douluo. Ordinary wounds can be healed with just a little soul power. She can even be said to be able to make people truly immortal.
However, even with Ye Lingling's powerful healing abilities, the healing of these wounds was much slower than usual.
Yang Podi gritted his teeth, and his ninth soul ring flashed. This was the first time Yang Podi had used his ninth soul skill: Sky-Supporting.
Suddenly, the sky changed, and the heavens and earth seemed to tremble. Countless soul forces formed a huge Soul-Breaking Spear. This Soul-Breaking Spear was tens of meters long, and the huge spear blade seemed to tear the heavens and earth apart. In particular, the friction between the spear blade and the air directly filled the air with sparks.
This move is a combination of the ultimate gold and the ultimate power. Xiong Jun's entire body seemed to be under immense pressure, as if he were locked in place by the pressure. Even when Xiong Jun used the Sky-Tearing Claw, it seemed that he could not stop the huge Soul-Shattering Spear from falling.
But Xiong Jun was also exceptionally fierce, roaring at the Soul-Breaking Spear that was falling from the sky, as if he wanted to withstand it head-on.
Just then, a strange change occurred between heaven and earth. Lightning seemed to flash across the sky, and a dragon's roar could be faintly heard, a roar that seemed to strike directly at everyone's soul.
Immediately afterwards, a huge dragon claw appeared in the void, grabbing at the giant Soul-Breaking Spear that was falling from the sky. The Soul-Breaking Spear seemed to be shattered, and a huge wound appeared on the dragon claw. In this move, the dragon claw gained the upper hand.
Upon seeing this, Yang Podi's expression changed drastically. He immediately used his soul power to pull the five people to his side. Then, the first red soul ring flashed rapidly, and a black hole appeared in the space. Without hesitation, Yang Podi led the five people into the black hole and disappeared instantly.
When Yang Podi and his companions reappeared, they were already several kilometers away. However, Yang Podi was still extremely nervous, flapping his wings and leading the five of them away from the Star Dou Great Forest at top speed, as if they had encountered some great terror.
A loud voice came from afar: "Human, you are no longer allowed to enter my Star Dou Great Forest."
Yang Podi ignored the voice, only sneered, and then flapped his wings to increase his speed to the maximum and quickly left.
The group flew for a full 300 kilometers out of the Star Dou Great Forest before stopping, and Yang Podi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The group quickly found a place to sit down, and Ye Lingling swiftly began treating them.
The treatment took a full day before all five people were fully recovered. However, Ye Lingling asked with some confusion, "Po Di, why was it so difficult for that middle-aged man to treat your wounds?"
Yang Podi shook his head: "This is the ultimate metal, just like my Soul-Breaking Spear. It is the ultimate metal attribute. This kind of wound is no ordinary wound. Wounds with the attribute of ultimate metal are very difficult to heal."
Yang Tianyue seemed a little unsure and asked, "Brother, what is the ultimate gold?"
Yang Podi looked at Yang Tianyue with a hint of doting affection and then gave a detailed introduction.
"When the metal elemental martial soul attribute is cultivated to its highest level, it becomes the ultimate metal. This attribute not only has a restraining effect on other attributes, but also on the original metal element."
"Any element cultivated to its extreme will possess ultimate attributes. Those who can cultivate to this level are extremely rare, and are basically invincible among their peers."
Yang Tianyue, still somewhat puzzled, asked, "Then how can one cultivate to achieve the ultimate attribute?"
Yang Podi thought for a moment before speaking: "Extreme attributes are very difficult to cultivate. First, the quality of the martial soul must be very high. In addition, it requires absorbing the same type of soul ring countless times and breaking through to achieve it. My current martial soul is almost the ultimate metal and ultimate power."
Yang Tianyue said with a face full of regret, "Brother, if you knew, why didn't you tell me sooner? Then I could have cultivated the ultimate metal."
Yang Podi couldn't help but smile: "Extreme attributes are indeed powerful, but they also present great difficulties. Soul Masters with extreme attributes will have a very slow cultivation speed between levels 30 and 70, so slow that it makes people question their existence."
