Chapter 32: Border Ambush, Fighting the Soul Saint (Part 2)
"Thunder God Power mode, activate!"
"Boom!"
Blinding purple-gold lightning erupted from his body! It was no longer simple lightning stimulating cells, but the instant Fusion of Soul Power and his initially tempered Qi and blood power, drawing on that wisp of "Thunder God Power" as the core, forming a violent state of all-around amplification!
His speed, strength, reaction, and Soul Power intensity instantly soared to a terrifying level. Arcs of electricity jumped around his body, and the air even emitted a burnt smell. It was fortunate that his body training had achieved some results; otherwise, this would have destroyed him first.
Even more shocking was that as he activated the Thunder God Power mode, beneath his skin, Qi and blood surged, and an ancient and majestic dragon Aura spread out! Accompanied by a low dragon roar, dark blue dragon scales, each the size of a thumb, with edges flashing with purple-gold luster and a texture like solid metal, rapidly covered his entire body like a tide!
This was not Soul Power scales generated by a dragon transformation secret technique simulated by Soul Power; those scales were more like energy bodies, and although their defense was strong, they lacked real "activity." This was him relying on his Qi and blood power—which had achieved Minor Achievement and possessed extreme activity—combined with the dragon transformation secret technique, to truly stimulate and guide the Dragon Clan Bloodline hidden within his body, manifesting on his body surface—True Dragon Scales! Their defensive power, conductivity to force, and compatibility with himself were far beyond what Soul Power scales could compare to! Like the true body scales of Tangs eldest son in Douluo Dalu III, only Yu Yuanchen's scales had not yet reached that level of strength, but they were fundamentally different. After all, Tangs eldest son only passively obtained them by absorbing external Bloodlines, while Yu Yuanchen actively cultivated them by mining his own!
At the same time, he perfectly integrated the "Thunder Strike Garment" technique—taught by the clan Elder, which involved spreading lightning power over the body surface to form a high-speed vibrating defensive layer—into this Thunder God Power mode and the dragon scale armor. At this moment, with dragon scales covering his body and purple-gold lightning rapidly circulating and vibrating between the scales, he looked like a Dragon God warrior who had walked out of an ancient thunder pool, his Aura overwhelming!
"Not good! Full defense!" The leading Soul King's pupils shrank, feeling the fatal threat, roaring and activating his Soul skills. The heavy Diamond Mammoth phantom solidified, protecting his whole body.
But, it was too late!
Yu Yuanchen's target was never him from the beginning, but those three Spirit Ancestors! Under the terrifying amplification of the Thunder God Power mode, his speed was as fast as Teleportation, leaving only a purple-gold afterimage in place.
"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"
Three slight sounds, like tearing cloth, rang out almost simultaneously. Yu Yuanchen's hands had completely undergone dragon transformation. Not only his right arm, but his left arm was also covered in thicker, sharper purple-gold dragon scales, his five fingers having become hideous dragon claws—after completing the tempering of flesh and blood, his control over his body had greatly increased, and the Thunder Dragon Claw on his left arm had finally been sublimated as expected! Both claws struck out, containing the piercing Concept of "Thunder Dragon Shattering Void," but not fully released; he just concentrated the extremely condensed lightning and power at the tips of his claws.
Those three Spirit Ancestors couldn't even fully release their Martial Soul True Body. Their protective Soul Power was like paper in front of the dragon claws fused with the "Thunder God Power," instantly having their throats or hearts pierced! With shock and disbelief still remaining in their eyes, their bodies softened and fell to the ground.
Killing three Spirit Ancestors in seconds, it happened in the blink of an eye!
"Bastards!" The two Soul Kings' eyes were splitting with rage. They roared and launched their strongest attack Soul skills. The huge mammoth phantom trampled and charged, carrying the momentum to crush everything, thundering toward Yu Yuanchen.
Yu Yuanchen did not dodge or avoid. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He crossed his claws in front of his chest, the dragon scales all over his body shone brightly, and the Thunder Strike Garment vibrated at high speed!
"Boom!"
The full-force strike of the two Soul Kings slammed solidly onto his body! The violent energy exploded, blasting a large pit in the ground.
As the dust settled, Yu Yuanchen's figure stood motionless! Only a few white marks were left on the dragon scale armor, and they recovered rapidly as the lightning flowed. The powerful impact was neutralized layer by layer by his formidable physique, dragon scales, and Thunder Strike Garment. His Qi and blood were only slightly roiling; he was not injured!
"How is this possible?!" The two Soul Kings were horrified. Their joint attack hadn't even broken through his defense?
Just as they were shocked and distracted, Yu Yuanchen moved. His figure flickered, approaching one of the Soul Kings like a ghost, his left claw striking like lightning, aiming straight for his chest. The Soul King blocked in a hurry, but his defense was directly shattered by the terrifying power contained in the dragon claw. His chest was torn open, a huge hole appeared, blood sprayed wildly, and he clearly wouldn't survive.
The last Soul King was terrified, turned around, and wanted to run. How could Yu Yuanchen let him have his way? His right claw swung through the air, and a condensed purple-gold lightning claw light struck first, instantly piercing his heart from behind.
From the sudden attack to all five Elephant Armored Academy Disciples dying, the whole process took less than ten breaths!
Yu Yuanchen dispelled the lightning on his claws, his breathing slightly rapid. The Thunder God Power mode consumed a huge amount of energy, and simultaneously maintaining the dragon scale armor and the Thunder Strike Garment was a dual test for his Soul Power and Qi and blood. But his eyes remained cold, looking toward the entrance of the valley.
Almost at the same time he finished off the last Soul King, a violent rage and terrifying Aura swept in from outside the valley like a volcanic eruption!
"Little beast! Dare to kill my Elephant Armored Academy Disciples, pay with your life!"
That fortress-like figure, carrying monstrous rage, smashed into the valley like a meteorite. It was the Elephant Armored Academy Soul Saint who had been guarding the checkpoint! He ultimately couldn't rest easy and had followed, only to see the scene where all the Disciples under his Sect had been slaughtered.
The vast pressure of the Soul Saint level was like substance, firmly locking onto Yu Yuanchen. The seventh Soul Ring at his feet suddenly lit up—Martial Soul True Body!
A Diamond Mammoth giant elephant phantom, ten meters high and like a mountain, solidified. Its long trunk curled, letting out a deafening roar. Its huge feet lifted, carrying the power to collapse mountains and split the earth, stomping down on Yu Yuanchen's head! The air was compressed into white air waves under this foot!
Facing this full-force strike from the furious Soul Saint, Yu Yuanchen's pupils shrank, but he did not retreat. He took a deep breath, the Soul Power and Qi and blood in his body circulated crazily again, the dragon scale armor and Thunder Strike Garment shone brightly, and on his claws, the purple-gold lightning began to compress and condense to the limit again.
The real hard battle was only just beginning!
