Douluo: Son of Destruction of Life, Supreme Creator!

Qian Renxue understood his thoughts and didn't say anything more. She simply stayed by his side, cautiously observing their surroundings.

The two ventured deeper and deeper, gradually entering the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

The trees here are much taller, each one reaching tens of meters in height, their canopies blocking out the sun completely.

"and many more."

Gu Linyuan suddenly stopped and raised his hand to signal Qian Renxue to stop.

His brow furrowed slightly as his gaze fell upon an even darker, dense forest ahead.

Qian Renxue also sensed it.

An extremely terrifying aura emanated from ahead.

The aura was violent and ferocious, carrying a fierce power accumulated over a long period of time, like a dormant volcano, calm on the surface but brewing an eruption that would destroy everything inside.

"This is……"

"A ten-thousand-year-old soul beast. And not an ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beast."

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted slightly.

Gu Linyuan nodded.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he peered through the gaps in the dense forest.

Deep within that dark, dense forest, a pair of scarlet eyes were watching them.

Chapter 27 Fierce Battle with the Dragon Scorpion, Qian Renxue Trys to Get in Through the Back Door, Gu Linyuan Also...

"Roar."

A deafening roar suddenly erupted, and the entire forest trembled at the sound.

Leaves rustled down, the ground trembled slightly, and countless birds took flight from the treetops, blotting out the sun.

Deep in the forest, the soul beasts lurking in the shadows seemed to have been startled by some terrifying being, and they fled frantically in all directions.

The spirit beast emerged from the dense forest.

Its size was not huge, only about three meters long, but the sense of oppression it exuded was more terrifying than any ten-thousand-year-old soul beast that Gu Linyuan had ever seen.

Its appearance resembles a giant wolf, its entire body covered in jet-black scales, each scale as smooth as obsidian, gleaming with a cold, eerie luster in the dim forest.

Its limbs are long and powerful, and its sharp claws are deeply embedded in the ground, leaving deep claw marks with every step.

Its tail is the most striking feature.

It was not an ordinary wolf tail, but a deadly weapon like a scorpion's tail, with the end pointing high and a jet-black venomous stinger on it, gleaming with a chilling light in the dim light.

Its head resembled a dragon, with a long snout and a pair of curved dragon horns on its head. Its fangs were exposed, and its scarlet tongue licked its lips, as if it had already regarded Gu Linyuan and Qian Renxue as its meal.

In those scarlet eyes, there was no fear, only bloodthirsty excitement.

Like a cat toying with a mouse.

Gu Linyuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

He had seen records of this kind of spirit beast in ancient books.

Dragon scorpion.

An extremely rare ancient species, said to be a forbidden offspring of dragons and scorpion-type spirit beasts. It possesses the melee combat abilities of dragons and the highly venomous stinger of scorpions, making it a predator at the top of the food chain.

The dragon scorpion in front of us was only three meters long, but its black scales were faintly covered with dark gold patterns, a feature that only appears when a cultivator has broken through ten thousand years of cultivation.

"Aside from a few special top-tier bloodlines, such as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the soul beast bloodlines in this world are limited to a few special bloodlines."

“Other powerful soul beasts are more or less related to the dragon race. These soul beasts with some dragon characteristics are definitely not weak.”

"The combat power of a tens of thousands-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is not much worse than that of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast. And this kind of dragon scorpion that is tens of thousands of years old is probably only comparable to the combat power of a regular thirty- or forty-thousand-year-old soul beast."

"However, this does not mean that these soul beasts with ferocious beast bloodlines are invincible. Although the ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is no less powerful than a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, its other attributes are much weaker, such as its mental attribute. This ten-thousand-year-old Dragon Scorpion has a sturdy carapace and its tail is extremely threatening. But apart from these, its other attributes are just average."

"These are crustacean-type soul beasts. Their brains are usually the most vulnerable part. Xue'er, you take the lead in the attack, and I'll take the opportunity to attack its brain. It should be fine."

Gu Linyuan took a deep breath and gripped the Scepter of Destruction even tighter.

"no problem."

"This spirit beast's spirit ring is worthy of your Destruction Scepter."

Qian Renxue stood beside him, her long golden hair fluttering in the wind, her golden eyes filled with eager fighting spirit.

"Then let's get started."

After Qian Renxue finished speaking, the phantom of a six-winged angel appeared behind her, and its five spirit rings lit up simultaneously.

Gu Linyuan also raised the Scepter of Destruction, and dense destructive soul power surged across his body.

The dragon scorpion seemed to sense the threat from the two humans. Its scarlet eyes narrowed slightly, and it let out a low growl.

But it did not retreat.

As the overlord of this forest, it would not allow itself to back down in front of a human.

not to mention.

It was also a little hungry.

The battle erupted instantly.

Qian Renxue made the first move.

Golden soul power transformed into countless blades of light, slashing down upon the dragon scorpion.

Her speed was so great that she left golden afterimages among the tree canopies.

The dragon scorpion's scales were incredibly hard; when Qian Renxue's light blade struck them, it only left shallow white marks.

Dragon Scorpion was enraged by Qian Renxue's attack.

It roared to the sky, and its dark scales suddenly shone with a dark golden light. Its entire body seemed to transform into a drawn sword, rushing towards Qian Renxue.

Its speed was astonishing; its three-meter size made it appear like a black lightning bolt in the dense forest.

Qian Renxue dodged the dragon scorpion's attacks, her golden blade flashing as it slashed, leaving sparks on the dragon scorpion's scales.

But her attacks could never penetrate that layer of dark defense.

"You'd better hurry up, buddy. I can't hold on much longer."

Qian Renxue looked at Gu Linyuan with her beautiful eyes and said in a low voice.

Soul beasts of this level possess combat power comparable to Soul Saints.

Qian Renxue certainly has the ability to fight beyond her level, but she is far from being able to directly jump to a higher level.

She felt a vague sense of regret.

She had initially thought it was just an ordinary soul beast with a cultivation level of ten or twenty thousand years, which she could easily defeat on her own. But after arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest, she realized just how high Gu Linyuan's standards were.

Gu Linyuan's requirements for his third spirit ring were actually higher than his requirements for his fifth spirit ring.

This guy, isn't he afraid of stuffing himself to death?

Gu Linyuan was waiting.

His soul power surged wildly within him, the Ancient Tree of Life provided a continuous source of energy, and the two soul rings on the Scepter of Destruction spun rapidly.

He was looking for an opportunity.

An opportunity for a fatal blow.

The battle lasted for almost the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Qian Renxue's forehead was covered in sweat, and her long golden hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks.

Her breathing became rapid, and the light of her five spirit rings dimmed slightly.

The dragon scorpion had dozens of wounds on its body, and black blood seeped from the gaps in its scales, but its fighting spirit only grew stronger.

It was injured.

But it also became even crazier.

"Gu Linyuan. You bastard..."

"If it really doesn't work out, then let's just give up. At worst, I'll find someone to help you."

While dodging the dragon scorpion's attacks, Qian Renxue shouted to Gu Linyuan.

There was a hint of urgency in her voice.

Gu Linyuan did not answer.

His gaze was fixed on the dragon scorpion, and the black light on the Scepter of Destruction grew increasingly intense, like a condensed mass of darkness.

He is waiting.

Wait until the dragon scorpion reveals a weakness.

Just now.

The dragon scorpion suddenly swung its tail, and its jet-black stinger transformed into a black shadow, stabbing towards Qian Renxue.

That's too fast.

It was faster than any of the previous attacks.

Qian Renxue's pupils contracted, and she instinctively dodged to the side.

But the scorpion's attack was never intended to hit her from the start.

Its real purpose was to force her to reveal a weakness.

The moment Qian Renxue dodged, the dragon scorpion suddenly turned around, and its massive body covered in black scales crashed towards her like a small mountain.

"boom."

Qian Renxue was caught red-handed.

The golden figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of her mouth, and a flicker of pain flashed in her golden eyes.
