Chapter 132: Four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts! (Subscription Request)_1
Enchanting Charm's eyes welled up with intense fear as she slowly spoke, "Such an attack, truly worthy of a soul skill granted by a hundred-thousand-year soul ring..."
It could actually cover several hundred meters around instantaneously with an attack, and, although not knowing the extent of that flame's power, it seemed that the attack was not aimed at the physical body.
Because those soul beasts stained by the Netherworld Flame didn't exhibit any physical wounds...
The relentless, horrifying screams echoed continuously within Hell's Path, and within moments, every soul beast that was ignited by the Netherworld Flame couldn't hold on longer and collapsed onto the ground...
Then, a spectacular sight unfolded as dozens of pitch-black and profound Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings slowly emerged following the death of these soul beasts...
"So many Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, it feels a bit wasteful," Xu Sheng said, although no trace of distress appeared on his face.
Then Xu Sheng turned around and retracted the Netherworld Ghostvine that had entangled Enchanting Charm...
After Enchanting Charm emerged, a gender-neutral voice filled with confusion asked, "Xu Sheng, was that Martial Soul just now your Third Martial Spirit?"
Xu Sheng gave him a glance and said indifferently, "No, that was the evolution of the Nine-Hearted Begonia, and there were some changes to the Martial Soul."
Under the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Evil Moon pressed on with another question, "Wasn't it nine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings? How did they turn into nine hundred-thousand-year rings? And why can you use soul skills?"
Hulena's voice came through, "Brother! Do you need to ask so clearly?"
Xu Sheng smiled and didn't explain much, turning around to say, "You'll know later on, let's move. These are just the weakest among a few hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. The stronger ones are still ahead."
Afterward, Xu Sheng and the others encountered three or four more waves of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast attacks, but they still hadn't seen a single hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Gazing at the pitch-black soul rings on the ground, Xu Sheng furrowed his brows...
Now, they must be several hundred meters away from the exit. The only explanation could be that a few hundred-thousand-year soul beasts have sealed off the exit!
Clearly, in terms of intelligence, they were not something Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could compare to...
Evil Moon and Hulena, having used the Martial Soul Fusion Skill for an extended period, had already reverted from their Enchanting Charm state. The latter, looking at Xu Sheng with an unusual gaze, asked with concern, "Xu Sheng, what's wrong?"
Xu Sheng shook his head, "Nothing. Are you two able to use the Martial Soul Fusion Skill again?"
After using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their attribute's strength could reach the Soul Sage Level, greatly increasing their safety.
Otherwise, with their current Soul King level of soul power, facing the attacks of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Xu Sheng would have to protect them while fighting, which would be quite troublesome.
Especially since each hundred-thousand-year soul beast almost always possessed its own unique abilities which were not easy to deal with.
Evil Moon shook his head with a bitter smile, "Our Soul Power is almost depleted."
Using the Martial Soul Fusion Skill by itself consumes more Soul Power, and that they managed to hold on till now was already commendable.
Seeing what Xu Sheng was thinking, Hulena said with a smile, "Xu Sheng, you must be worried about us not being able to withstand the attacks of the hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, right?"
Although they were only Soul Kings, they were not so easily defeated!
Evil Moon spoke confidently, "Xu Sheng, you just focus on attacking. Protecting ourselves is something Lena and I can manage!"
Moreover, with Xu Sheng's terrifying strength, those hundred-thousand-year soul beasts would probably not have the chance to rampage for long before being slaughtered by him!
...
After advancing another two hundred meters or so, Xu Sheng and the others were faced with a shocking scene...
Below the thick, boiling lava, a gigantic Python Snake, tens of meters in size and covered in lava-like scales, was stirring...
Opposite the Python Snake, a Crystal Scorpion, exuding steam all over its body, was freely roaming in the lava, and its body was over ten meters tall!
Seeing these two soul beasts, Xu Sheng wondered, "Only two?"
He slowly closed his eyes, fully spreading out his spiritual power to capture everything in the surroundings...
Evil Moon and Hulena just watched Xu Sheng from the side, refraining from speaking out and interrupting...
If Xu Sheng had no hesitations, I'm afraid all the soul beasts on Hell's Path would have faced certain death.
Xu Sheng's pupils suddenly widened as he shouted, "Get down quick!"
There were still two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts here, they were none other than—!!
The Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat Kings rushing at them from behind!! And there were two of them!!
Confused but trusting Xu Sheng without hesitation, Hulena and Evil Moon quickly prostrated themselves...
Just as they ducked, two massive figures narrowly missed them, zipping perilously close overhead...
Xu Sheng frowned, "We must first take care of the two Bat Kings in the sky! Otherwise, our movements will be restricted!"
Evil Moon, with his heart pounding, exclaimed, "What on earth is that thing? Its speed is unbelievably fast!"
Had they hesitated a second longer, he and Hulena would probably already be dead!
Hulena's back was drenched in cold sweat, her breathing gradually quickening by a notch, "It looks like it should be bats!"
Seeing that the two were unharmed, Xu Sheng said slowly, "Those are Bat Kings, they move very fast and can use sonic attacks!"
No sooner had his words fallen, than two sonic booms, mixed with the sound of tearing wind, bore down on them...
Xu Sheng's mind stirred, and robust Netherworld Ghostvines sprouted in front of the three, aptly blocking the sonic attacks...
The first soul ring at Xu Sheng's feet lit up once more...
First Soul Skill! Ghost Net!
Subsequently, the Netherworld Ghostvines interwove continuously, forming a net several meters wide, ablaze with roaring flames...
It then enveloped the two Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat Kings with an overwhelming presence...
One Bat King, seeing the oncoming net, escaped the area at lightning speed, while the other, as if failing to react in time, was directly covered by the enormous net and bound against the rocky wall.
The burning Netherworld Flames toasted its soul, leaving it struggling without the strength to resist...
"Whoosh"
Another sonic boom from a sonic attack arose, but this time aiming for the Giant Ghost Net crafted from the Ghostvines!
Xu Sheng glanced at the Bat King flapping its wings midair and said coldly, "So you even know to try and save your teammates? But is it possible?"
After the sonic blast hit the Netherworld Ghostvines, not a single crack appeared...
The evolved Netherworld Ghostvines, whether in terms of hardness or flexibility, were far superior to the Nine-Hearted Begonia!
At last, the two colossal Python Snakes and Scorpions, submerged in lava, finally noticed Xu Sheng and his companions...
Gradually rising from the lava, their massive forms allowed them to look down upon Xu Sheng and his group.
The Python Snake's crimson vertical pupils locked onto Hulena and Evil Moon, hissing rapidly as it flicked its tongue, making a "s-s-s..." sound.
The Scorpion made no strange movements but decisively extended its poison-covered sharp tail, stabbing towards where the three were standing...
Watching the gigantic tail hurtling towards them from the sky, Xu Sheng stepped backward to evade, narrowly escaping the terrifying attack.
Little did they know, the Giant Scorpion's initial target was not them; it was the only path that could be used to exit Hell's Path!!…
With a "bang," the entire pathway cracked with innumerable fissures...
And the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King flying in the sky seemed to grasp the Giant Scorpion's intent, launching another sonic attack that hit the pathway!
The cracks spread quickly, and the pathway began to shudder, showing signs that it was on the verge of collapsing...
