Legend of the Dragon King: I really didn't mean to provoke them!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stood amidst the chaos, its body stained with blood and sparks, and let out a triumphant roar.

Its aura of ferocity remained intense, but the battle had also depleted a great deal of its soul power, causing its movements to slow down slightly, and several burn marks from the flames appeared on its body.

Xie Xie finally stopped hiding and his soul power suddenly erupted from his feet.

His figure moved like a ghostly black shadow, instantly emerging from the tree branch and charging straight towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, unleashing a full-force attack without holding back.

As Xie Xie moved, the two luminous century-old soul rings beneath his feet suddenly changed color.

One yellow spirit ring remained encircling the other, but the other instantly turned into a deep purple!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's crimson eyes were fixed on the swift black shadow. Its sharp claws slammed into the ground, and its massive body, surprisingly, did not appear cumbersome. With a howling wind, it charged straight at Xie Xie's face.

After Xie Xie's first soul ring broke through a thousand years, his speed increased again, and he could even vaguely match the speed of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Facing the charging Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Xie Xie's eyes flashed with a crimson light, and his body surged with golden and black soul power.

"The Blade of Annihilation!"

With a low shout, Xie Xie's Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade suddenly grew three feet longer.

A sharp halo of light, interwoven with black and gold, accompanied by the sound of wind being cut, descended from above and slashed fiercely at the head of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

When the soul rings reached the power of annihilation after a thousand years, the air rippled with distortion wherever the blade wind passed.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear neither dodged nor evaded; its right claw, imbued with immense force, took the blow head-on.

"clang--!"

The ear-piercing clang of metal against metal resounded through the sky, sparks flew everywhere, and the enormous recoil even made the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body tremble slightly.

Xie Xie used this force to sway his body and instantly disappeared from the spot, turning into a blur.

"Second Soul Skill - Light Dragon Storm!"

Just as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear turned around, Xie Xie appeared behind it. The Light Dragon Blade in his hand instantly transformed into a golden storm, attacking the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's joints and ribs like a torrential downpour.

A dense curtain of light and shadow swept across the massive creature like a storm, completely enveloping it.

Bang bang bang!

Each strike hit a vital spot with pinpoint accuracy, causing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to roar repeatedly. Several strands of its dark gold fur were severed, and blood gushed from its wounds.

However, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had thick hide and flesh, and after only taking a few steps back, it regained its footing, its scarlet beast eyes filled with even more killing intent.

"That's not enough!" Xie Xie gritted his teeth, his soul power surging wildly within him, and his second soul ring suddenly lit up.

The moment the second soul ring lit up after a hundred years, a flash of purple appeared.

Xie Xie unleashed his soul power, pushing his speed to its limit. His figure became so fast that only a blurry, indistinguishable golden-black afterimage remained.

Avoiding the giant claws swung by the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Xie Xie leaped to the vital point of its spine behind its head in an instant.

The spine is a common weakness of most soul beasts.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, relying on its thick hide and being born at the pinnacle of the soul beast world, never took precautions, thus giving Xie Xie an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Twin Dragons, Soul-Locking Explosion!!"

Xie Xie roared fiercely, and the golden and black soul power within his body erupted completely. The Light Dragon Blade and the Shadow Dragon Blade transformed into two swimming dragons, with the gilded and pitch-black soul power intertwining and condensing into a storm of intertwined dragons.

The Twin Dragon Soul-Locking Explosion, carrying devastating and violent power, slammed into the spine of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

When the light of the Twin Dragons Soul-Locking Explosion completely enveloped the man and the bear, Xie Xie's second soul ring under his feet burst forth with purple light, unleashing the full power of the fusion skill without any reservation.

The violent explosion, accompanied by a surge of ferocious soul power, instantly shattered at the spine of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's massive body was thrown several meters away by this force, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.

It let out a painful howl, and its violent aura instantly weakened by more than half.

Xie Xie landed steadily, slightly out of breath. The light of the Light Dragon Blade and Shadow Dragon Blade in his hands dimmed, and two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, pulsed slowly beneath his feet.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lay in the dust, its massive body convulsing violently. Its crimson eyes were half-closed, its aura extremely weak, and blood continuously seeping from its wounds.

Its once glossy dark golden fur was now covered in dust and blood, making it look utterly wretched.

Even after suffering such severe damage, this century-old Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear still possesses an astonishingly tenacious vitality.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear let out a low, stubborn roar, its limbs trembling as it struggled to its feet.

Its movements were slow and stiff, each step accompanied by excruciating pain, and its back was slightly hunched, clearly indicating that the Twin Dragon Soul Locking Explosion had caused it fatal injuries.

But in those beastly eyes, there was still a lingering ferocity and resentment, staring intently at Xie Xie, adopting a final counterattack posture.

"No way, bro, you're still alive?!"

Having absorbed the spiritual power of Tang Wulin and his three companions, as well as half of the entire Flame Lion Clan, Xie Xie's two hundred-year soul rings have both reached the cultivation level of a thousand years.

But this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, having withstood a thousand-year soul skill and a fusion of two thousand-year soul skills, is still alive?

Seeing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's tenacious vitality, Xie Xie couldn't help but admire it.

But...

"Sorry, I had a trick up my sleeve. Take this!"

"Annihilation Rasengan!"

Chapter 83 Wow~ The Golden Legend!

Xie Xie's lips curled into a crazy and mocking smile, and his black and red soul power surged wildly once again.

He took a deep breath and thrust out his right palm. A pure, annihilating power, condensed to its extreme from dark elements, began to spin rapidly in his palm.

"Annihilation Rasengan!"

With a low shout, the half-person-high blood-black energy ball instantly expanded to its limit, spinning and emitting a whistling sound that made one's eardrums tingle.

This power not only contained his full-force soul power, but also perfectly fused with his own dark attribute of annihilation power, forming a terrifying energy blast with both annihilation and devouring properties.

The Annihilation Rasengan hovered in Xie Xie's palm, like a blood-red black hole that could explode at any moment.

The oppressive aura emanating from that blood-black energy sphere, carrying an aura of endless annihilation, almost solidified the surrounding air.

The weeds and pebbles on the ground were swept up by the airflow and sucked into the rotating black hole. Even the scattered sparks and the lingering warmth of the beast's blood were completely swallowed up by this annihilating force.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear seemed to sense the deadly threat posed by this attack.

His previously listless aura suddenly solidified, and he let out a desperate and frantic roar.

It used its last remaining soul power, its body barely glowing with dark golden light, as it tried to swing its giant claws to block.

Its severely injured spine made it extremely sluggish. It could only raise its giant claw halfway before it was too weak to swing it anymore, and could only watch helplessly as the terrifying energy ball hurtled towards it.

Xie Xie's eyes blazed with crimson light, and the Annihilation Rasengan in his palm spun at its maximum speed.

The piercing sound of something cutting through the air drowned out all other sounds.

His soul power exploded beneath his feet, and he surged forward, giving the tenacious soul beast no chance to catch its breath. He roared:

"Explode!"

The moment the words fell, the Annihilation Rasengan slammed into the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's still-healing spinal wound!

The ultimate power of annihilation surged wildly into the wound, tearing apart its bones and devouring its remaining soul power and life force.

The rotating energy ball kept squeezing inward and exploding!

Dark golden beast blood splattered out along with broken bone fragments.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's once incredibly tough body trembled violently. It could no longer hold on, and its massive body crashed to the ground with a dull thud.

This time, it was unable to stand up again.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's crimson eyes slowly lost their luster, its aura completely dissipated, its dark gold fur lost its shine, and its limbs lay limp and lifeless amidst the mess on the ground.

Xie Xie staggered back several steps.

His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath. The dark red soul power around him gradually receded, and the two soul rings, one yellow and one purple, beneath his feet slowly dimmed.

Xie Xie wiped the dust and blood from his cheeks.

Looking at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lying motionless on the ground, a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

This trip to the Ascension Platform has been incredibly profitable!

Not only did his two spirit rings both reach a thousand-year cultivation level, but he also killed a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear; all he needed was a spirit ring—

A gentle breeze swept by, dispersing the dust and blood splattered on the battlefield.

Below, the remains of the Flame Lion pack were scattered all over the ground, while the massive body of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lay quietly in the center.

Immediately afterwards, a condensed dark golden light burst forth from the spine of the Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear, breaking through the dust and slowly condensing in mid-air, showing no sign of being dispersed by the breeze.

The light grew stronger and stronger, eventually transforming into a bone fragment the size of a palm.

The bone fragment floated silently in mid-air.

Its entire body is enveloped in a warm yet domineering dark gold glow, and its surface is engraved with intricate and mysterious patterns that are exactly the same as the texture of the dark gold dinosaur fur.

A powerful and violent surge of soul energy emanated from the bone fragment, which could be clearly sensed from a great distance.

Holy crap, it really does have a soul bone!

Xie Xie's eyes widened instantly, and the next second he rushed over, his eyes filled with uncontrollable shock.

He reached out and carefully cradled the soul bone in his palm.

The soul bone felt cool and hard to the touch, with a heavy and solid texture.

The violent power and profound soul force unique to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear contained within slowly flowed into Xie Xie's body through his fingertips, causing him to tremble involuntarily.

Good heavens, it's a torso bone!

According to the original storyline, the Soul Bone should have been obtained after Xu Xiaoyan joined the team and the four of them worked together to kill the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Moreover, in the original story, the item that was dropped was the right metacarpal bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The trunk bones are definitely rarer than the right metacarpal bones, but the problem is that this trunk bone is only a hundred years old. It will certainly provide a significant boost in the short term, but in the long run, it's a bit...

Xie Xie stood amidst the chaos, deep in thought, unconcerned that other soul beasts might launch a sneak attack.

He killed the guardian of the primary spirit ascension platform, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and with such a commotion, no spirit beast would dare to come looking for death.

Just as Xie Xie was hesitating, a faint light flashed on his shoulder, and a small, exquisite figure suddenly darted out.

Before Xie Xie could react, Guangzai pounced—

He opened his mouth and swallowed the dark golden torso soul bone in his palm.

"I rely on!"

Xie Xie's pupils shrank drastically, and he was completely stunned.

He hurriedly reached out to grab it, but only managed to grasp a warm wisp of light; not a trace of his soul bone remained.

"Spit it out!"

Xie Xie was both anxious and angry. He grabbed the little Guangzai's body and shook him wildly back and forth until his face turned bright red: "That's a hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear torso and soul bone! Spit it out right now—"

Suddenly, the light child in his palm broke free from his hand and floated in mid-air.

The tiny, round, and adorable baby dragon, originally only the size of a palm, suddenly shone with a dazzling golden light, surrounded by a faint halo, and a gentle yet formidable power slowly spread out.

Xie Xie subconsciously took a half step back, staring wide-eyed at the scene before him, utterly astonished.

The body of the luminous creature stretched and elongated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Its originally short and round limbs became slender and long, its round body gradually became symmetrical and upright, its horns protruded slightly, and its dragon scales became brighter.

In a short while, Guangzai grew from a naive young dragon into a tall, agile, and graceful young dragon, becoming much larger and more composed.

Xie Xie stared at the completely transformed Guangzai, first stunned, then looked him up and down in disbelief.

"No, that can't be right?" Xie Xie muttered to himself.

"Shouldn't the Light Dragon King be a Western dragon?"

But looking at Guangzai's appearance, isn't he a perfect five-clawed golden dragon from China? He even bears some resemblance to the Golden Dragon King. This... this can't be right, can it??

Before Xie Xie could think further, a blinding white light suddenly emanated from his body.
