Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Abyss Sword, Peerless Prodigy

Chapter 35: Fighting a Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Soul Beast Alone!

The two Soul Douluo bishops exchanged a glance, but ultimately dared not disobey Lin Han's wishes.

After all, this is a prodigy personally taught by the Pope and favored by the Grand Elder, and his own strength has long surpassed that of his peers.

They could only reply in a low voice, "Your subordinate obeys! If you make any unusual moves, sir, we will immediately enter the valley to provide support!"

After speaking, the two waved their hands, and the eight Soul Saint Temple guards quickly dispersed, completely sealing off the entrance to Thunder Valley.

The Soul Emperor's scouts lay in ambush in the forest, their eyes as sharp as hawks, watching their surroundings closely, not missing a single rustling sound.

Bibi Dong gently tugged at Lin Han's sleeve, her fingertips swirling with a faint purplish-black soul power, her tone tinged with concern.

"Junior brother, the foundation of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast far surpasses that of an ordinary soul master, especially the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger. It is born with the power of thunder, its physical body is incomparably strong, and it can also use thunder to temper itself."

"Don't be careless. If things get really bad, call me. I can use the Soul-Devouring Spider's mental power to interfere with it."

Lin Han glanced at her sideways; her white robes fluttered in the forest breeze, her eyes cool yet warm.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I won't fight head-on. You guard the inside of the valley entrance. If any low-level soul beasts manage to sneak in, you can handle them. As for the rest, leave it to me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Han didn't delay any longer. With a swift movement, his white robes billowed up like a startled swan, and his toes touched the charred rocks as he silently stepped into the depths of Thunder Valley.

He deliberately restrained his soul power, leaving only a trace of sword intent lingering around him.

Neither deliberately provoke nor show cowardice—underestimating a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast is fatal, but being overly flamboyant will only provoke a more ferocious counterattack.

Deep within Thunder Valley, the terrain becomes increasingly treacherous, with the ground riddled with crisscrossing cracks.

Tiny flashes of lightning occasionally appeared within the crack, accompanied by crackling sounds.

The aura of thunder in the air was so dense it was almost tangible; inhaling it caused a slight stinging sensation.

In the center of the valley, on a huge black rock platform, a massive figure was resting with its eyes closed—it was the ten-thousand-year-old Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger.

It was over three zhang long, and its silver-gray fur was as hard as black iron, with each hair gleaming with a faint lightning.

The sharp serration on his forehead was half a foot long, dark gold in color, and gleamed with a cold, icy light.

The tip of its tail has a tuft of black down that it occasionally sweeps gently, leaving a shallow groove in the ground with each sweep.

Three deep purple spirit rings pulsed slowly around it, with fine golden lightning patterns swirling around them.

That was a sign that a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast had broken through to fifteen thousand years old; its aura was far more violent than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

Even ordinary Soul Masters would have to give way to it.

Perhaps sensing the unfamiliar presence, the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger suddenly opened its eyes.

A violent killing intent instantly erupted from those amber-colored beastly eyes, and the lightning aura around his body suddenly surged.

The once peaceful valley was instantly enveloped by violent lightning, rocks shattered and lightning flashed everywhere.

A chilling pressure swept towards Lin Han's location.

"roar--!!!"

A deafening roar erupted, echoing throughout Thunder Valley.

The sound waves, carrying the power of thunder, crashed fiercely towards Lin Han, instantly snapping trees in half and shattering rocks along the way.

This roar was not only an outpouring of anger, but also a display of power from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.

If it were an ordinary second- or third-ring Soul Master, their meridians would have been ruptured and they would have coughed up blood from the pressure and sound waves.

Lin Han did not move his feet, but the Quasi-Demigod Dragon Abyss Meditation Technique was quietly circulating throughout his body.

The soul power, a blend of divinity and dominance, circulated rapidly within his body, instantly forming an invisible barrier.

It blocked all the thunderous sound waves and oppressive force from its body.

He remained calm, his sharp gaze fixed on the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger, showing no sign of panic.

Instead, it was carefully observing the opponent's weakness—the saber teeth on its forehead, though sharp, were the core of its soul power.

The hair on the abdomen is relatively sparse, making it a weak point in the body's defenses.

Although the limbs are strong and powerful, there are flaws in the joint connections.

Seeing that its intimidation had no effect, the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger's killing intent intensified.

Its massive body shuddered violently, and the first purple spirit ring lit up instantly.

The raging thunderous soul power gathered in its mouth, forming a thick pillar of purple lightning.

With earth-shattering power, it shot fiercely towards Lin Han.

"Thunder Breath!"

Wherever the beam of light passed, the air was ionized, producing a piercing crackling sound.

A deep trench was scorched into the ground, and even the surrounding space showed faint cracks.

This attack is enough to easily injure or even kill a level 40 Soul Master. Even a Soul Saint would have to go all out to withstand it.

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Han's eyes, but he didn't flinch.

His body sank slightly, his feet firmly planted on the ground, his blood and energy surged, and a pale golden luster appeared on his body.

The body, tempered by whale glue for ten thousand years, erupted completely at this moment.

He slowly raised his right hand and grasped the hilt of the Longyuan Sword, without drawing it from its sheath.

He simply poured all his semi-divine soul power and sword intent into the scabbard.

"Good timing!"

Lin Han let out a low shout, raised his hand and swung his sword from its sheath, smashing it fiercely towards the pillar of lightning.

BOOM! ...

The sword sheath collided violently with the pillar of lightning, and a violent energy shockwave instantly swept across the entire valley.

Smoke and dust filled the air, and lightning flashed everywhere.

The pale golden light of the scabbard intertwined with the purple lightning, colliding and eroding each other, emitting a piercing hissing sound.

Lin Han took three steps back, crushing the rocks beneath his feet. His blood and qi surged slightly, but his face remained calm and expressionless.

The pillar of lightning was smashed apart by the sword sheath, and the aftershocks scattered and landed on the surrounding rocks, creating huge craters.

A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger.

It never expected that this seemingly weak human boy could block its first soul skill with just the sword sheath!

It roared and leaped into the air, its massive body wreathed in violent lightning power as it pounced fiercely towards Lin Han.

The sharp claws gleamed with a cold light, tearing through the air with a sharp sound, aiming straight for Lin Han's head.

This attack utilized all of its physical strength, coupled with the power of lightning, making it several times more powerful than the previous lightning breath.

"Well done!"

A fighting spirit flashed in Lin Han's eyes. Instead of retreating, he took the initiative to meet the attack.

He flashed, his white robes billowing like a shadow, and with his superb agility, he evaded the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger's claws.

At the same time, the Dragon Abyss Sword was finally drawn, humming loudly.

The golden sword light intertwined with the divine power of the Demon-Slaying Sword Embryo, forming a dazzling sword light that slashed fiercely down towards the foreleg joint of the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger.

Swish!

The sword light was as fast as lightning, incredibly precise, carrying the power to ward off evil and the intent of the sword, instantly striking the foreleg joint of the Thunder Saber-toothed Tiger.
