Douluo Continent: I virtually raised my boyfriend and became a god by living off him!

"roar!!"

Another tiger's roar rang out. This time, the roar was almost within reach. Ye Tianchen only saw a flash of golden light in the corner of his eye. The next second, a golden figure broke through the obstruction of the surrounding charred trees and appeared in the open space in front of Ye Tianchen.

It was a giant tiger over five meters long, covered in purple-gold fur, with a pair of wings on its back formed from pure lightning.

When its wingspan is extended, it exceeds eight meters, and each flap of its wings brings forth a sky full of arcs of lightning.

It has a clear "king" character pattern on its forehead, but the pattern is golden, as if it were drawn by lightning.

A ten-thousand-year-old Thunderwing Tiger! And it's a ten-thousand-year-old Thunderwing Tiger with a cultivation level of nearly twenty thousand years!

These soul beasts live by devouring lightning and have an almost fanatical obsession with rare and precious materials of the lightning attribute.

Clearly, it sensed the energy belonging to that golden bead and regarded Ye Tianchen, who had devoured the golden bead, as a human-shaped tonic.

The Thunderwing Tiger's golden vertical pupils were fixed on Ye Tianchen, its eyes filled with undisguised greed and hunger.

It crouched low, emitting a threatening growl from its throat, and its thunder wings blazed with intense lightning.

"Are you treating me like prey? Interesting..."

Ye Tianchen smiled, but his smile was icy.

"That depends on whether you have the ability."

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward.

The level 36 soul power erupted in full force, and a scarlet 100,000-year soul ring, a noble purple soul ring, and a jet-black 10,000-year soul ring appeared simultaneously.

The Azure Dragon, evolved from the Azure Python, coiled itself on Ye Tianchen's shoulder, its golden-green dragon eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Enraged by the almost defiant look, the Thunderwing Tiger let out a deafening roar and flapped its thunder wings violently!

"BOOM—!!"

Dozens of purple lightning bolts, each as thick as a water bucket, descended from the sky, sealing off all of Ye Tianchen's escape routes.

This is the Thunderwing Tiger's innate ability—Heavenly Thunder Strike, powerful enough to instantly kill an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!

But Ye Tianchen didn't dodge or evade at all. He simply raised his right hand slowly, and the third pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring under his feet lit up.

"Third Soul Skill, Thunder Seal - Protection!"

A layer of pale golden lightning armor instantly covered his entire body, with countless tiny lightning patterns flowing across its surface.

The purple lightning bolts slammed into the armor, unleashing deafening roars, scattering lightning in all directions, and blasting deep craters into the ground.

But Ye Tianchen, inside the armor, was completely unharmed.

He could even feel the lightning armor on his body actively absorbing the lightning energy and converting it into his own defense!

"This seems to be more than just a defensive skill. If I change how it operates, and release the absorbed lightning back out..."

A thought flashed through Ye Tianchen's mind, and then he actually tried it.

Golden lightning armor flashed on his body. Stimulated by the lightning, the cells in Ye Tianchen's body were activated in an instant, and his strength and speed increased instantly.

With a powerful stomp, he transformed into a golden bolt of lightning, instantly traversing fifty meters to appear beside the Thunderwing Tiger.

With his right fist clenched, Ye Tianchen channeled all the lightning power he had just absorbed into his right fist. Without the slightest hesitation, he punched Lei Chihu in the waist and abdomen.

This punch was simple and unadorned, but wherever the fist passed, the air was compressed, creating visible ripples.

Golden electric snakes surged on the surface of his fist, and even the air smelled slightly burnt.

The Thunderwing Tiger reacted extremely quickly, raising its front paws to meet the attack.

Purple lightning crackled around the tiger's claws, powerful enough to tear steel apart.

Fists and claws collided.

"boom!!!"

The explosion roared, and Ye Tianchen and Thunderwing Tiger both staggered backward. Ye Tianchen retreated six steps, while Thunderwing Tiger only retreated five. It seemed that Ye Tianchen was at a disadvantage, but in reality, Ye Tianchen was using his human body to directly confront the body of Thunderwing Tiger, a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. Not to mention that he was only a three-ring Soul Venerable, even a six-soul Soul Emperor would not dare to choose to confront a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast head-on with his physical body!

"Such a tough body, no wonder it's a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

Ye Tianchen rubbed his sore arms, and then, a sky-blue light burst forth.

"Soul Bone Skill, Azure Slowing Domain!"

As Ye Tianchen's voice fell, the illusory image of the Azure Bull Python coiling around him appeared behind him. In the slightly frightened eyes of the Thunder Wing Tiger, a wave of bluish-gray light instantly enveloped his body.

In an instant, the speed of Thunderwing Tiger's body, soul, and even soul power flow slowed down tenfold!

"Three cannons, third soul skill, Thunder Seal - Attack!"

As Ye Tianchen's voice fell, the jet-black ten-thousand-year soul ring beneath his feet was placed on Luo Sanpao's slender dragon body. With a majestic dragon roar, something surprising happened to Ye Tianchen.

A yellowish-brown light emanated from Luo Sanpao's body. As his soul power flowed, a yellowish-brown armor covered in spikes quickly condensed on his body. Then, Luo Sanpao aimed at the Thunderwing Tiger, which was shrouded in the Slowing Domain, and charged out like an arrow.

Another explosion rang out as Luo Sanpao slammed into the Thunderwing Tiger. A noticeably slower scream came from the Thunderwing Tiger's mouth as its abdomen caved in, clearly indicating that Luo Sanpao had broken countless ribs.

"...Different soul skills?!"

To verify his conjecture, the ten-thousand-year soul ring that had been on Luo Sanpao returned to his feet once again.

A jet-black light burst forth from the ten-thousand-year soul ring, and golden electricity instantly enveloped Ye Tianchen's body, forming a glittering golden thunder armor.

"It's definitely different! What's going on?!"

Sensing the distinctly different attributes, Ye Tianchen realized that his ten-thousand-year-old soul ring seemed to have mutated as well.

"roar--!!"

The sluggish domain that had enveloped his body finally disappeared, and Thunderwing Tiger struggled to his feet, but the greed in his eyes was gone.

Although the opposing Soul Master seemed weak, the opponent's methods were so powerful that it questioned its very existence.

After being brutally beaten, it finally realized that the human in front of it was not prey, but hunter!

It tried to escape, its thunder wings flapping wildly as it attempted to take off.

"Trying to run away?"

Ye Tianchen snorted coldly, and activated his Soul Bone Skill once again, enveloping the Thunderwing Tiger in its gray, sluggish domain.

"I'll tear your wings off, then let's see how you run!"

"Third Soul Skill, Thunder Seal - Attack!"

As Ye Tianchen's voice fell, golden lightning transformed into a golden fist imprint that burst forth from the air, precisely striking the base of the Thunderwing Tiger's lightning wings.

"boom!!!"

The pair of lightning wings snapped off instantly, dissipating into the air as pure lightning energy.

Having lost its ability to fly, the Thunderwing Tiger crashed heavily to the ground.

It tried to struggle, but Ye Tianchen's second purple soul ring had already landed on the Azure Dragon Luo Sanpao. Purple light flashed, and crimson and purple light flickered in Luo Sanpao's mouth. Thunder and flames surged out, instantly enveloping the entire body of the Thunderwing Tiger.
