Chapter 25: Annihilation Domain and Ultimate Talent

After absorbing the twenty-thousand-year Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's spirit ring and successfully breaking through to the Soul Elder level, Lin Yun's abilities had essentially been perfected.

Spirit Rings and Abilities:

Three-Thousand-Year Mad Blood Behemoth – First Spirit Ring

Spirit Ability: Mad Dragon's PowerUpon activation, for half an hour, this ability stimulates soul power eruption, allowing Lin Yun to exert strength and attacks far beyond normal limits, depending on his physical endurance. The effect lasts until soul power is exhausted or his body reaches its limit.

Eight-Thousand-Eight-Hundred-Year Titan Snow Demon – Second Spirit Ring

Spirit Ability: Golden Dragon Overlord BodyGreatly enhances physical durability upon activation. The boost level depends on the amount of soul power infused. There is no time limit, lasting until Lin Yun actively deactivates it or his soul power is depleted.

Twenty-Thousand-Year Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear – Third Spirit Ring

Spirit Ability: Sky-Shattering Dragon FistExplodes with an instantaneous full-body power burst, unleashing an all-out strike of overwhelming destructive force. This technique can even compress air into a powerful long-range shockwave, forming a devastating air cannon. When combined with the Annihilation Force, it can shatter the heavens with a single punch!Spirit Bones and Abilities:

Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear Right Palm Bone

Spirit Ability: Sky-Rending Dragon ClawUpon manifesting Golden Dragon Claws, highly concentrated soul power forms massive claw projections that are indestructible and can break through any defense.

Golden Shadow Dragon Wings (formerly Azure Shadow Divine Eagle External Spirit Bone)

Spirit Ability: Dragon Soars the Nine Heavens

With three powerful spirit rings and two spirit bones, Lin Yun had gained five unparalleled spirit abilities—each one an absolute masterpiece.

The synergy between Mad Dragon's Power and Golden Dragon Overlord Body allowed them to enhance each other, creating an unstoppable force. When stacked together, Sky-Shattering Dragon Fist and Sky-Rending Dragon Claw became exponentially more destructive.

Furthermore, the Golden Shadow Dragon Wings perfectly compensated for Lin Yun's lack of flight, granting him mobility far beyond any agility-type Soul Master of his level.

At this moment, Lin Yun was terrifyingly strong.

No—he was monstrously powerful!

Awakening the Annihilation Domain & Ultimate Talents

Additionally, during the absorption of his third spirit ring, the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear's energy stimulated the Golden Dragon King bloodline hidden within Lin Yun.

Even though his body still couldn't withstand the full power of the Golden Dragon King, and his martial soul's external manifestation remained as the Golden Dragon,

He had successfully awakened both his Innate Domain and his Ultimate Talents!

According to the laws of Ultimate Martial Souls, every wielder possessed an ultimate innate talent. Just like how Wang Qiu'er and Huo Yuhao had their own,

Lin Yun was no exception!

Golden Dragon King Innate Domain: Annihilation Domain!

The ability of this domain was brutally simple—pure destruction!

Any target whose soul power level is lower than Lin Yun's, if caught within the range of the Annihilation Domain, would find their defenses completely useless!All forms of defense—whether physical, soul power-based, or skill-based—would be rendered meaningless against Lin Yun's attacks!Every punch would deal true damage! Every strike would be a critical hit!

Even if the opponent's cultivation level surpassed Lin Yun's, their defenses would still be weakened to varying degrees. The minimum reduction was 10% of total defense.

The only limitation was that this effect applied only to Lin Yun himself—he could not share it with allies.

Otherwise, this domain would practically be a cheat ability!

The original "Annihilation God Domain" of the Golden Dragon King was likely even more terrifying. After all, at his peak, the Golden Dragon King was at the level of a God-King. Within his Annihilation God Domain,

every deity in the Divine Realm would be as fragile as bubbles!

No wonder even the Divine Realm itself couldn't kill the Golden Dragon King—they could only seal him in the Forbidden Land of Gods.

Touch him, and you'd shatter.Approach him, and you'd die.

The gods had already suffered massive casualties when they besieged the Dragon God—how could they possibly afford to sacrifice more lives just to try and kill the Golden Dragon King?

Lin Yun's Four Ultimate Talents:

Dragon's Power

The power of dragons shakes the heavens and the earth.The Golden Dragon King possessed the strongest physical body among all dragon races.With this innate talent, Lin Yun could ignore level restrictions and continuously strengthen his body without limit.He could even attain a divine body before reaching godhood!

Dragon's Blood

The blood of dragons is as dense as liquid mercury, incredibly heavy and thick.To other lifeforms, dragon blood is a highly corrosive venom.

For Lin Yun, Dragon's Blood granted him terrifying regenerative and recovery abilities!

Dragon's Devour: The dragon's maw devours all! Any object containing energy could be rapidly digested and converted into Lin Yun's own power, continuously strengthening himself!Dragon's Might: The dragon's majesty reigns supreme! Any creature whose bloodline is weaker than his would be forced to submit under his Dragon's Might, especially dragons, who were exceptionally vulnerable to its suppression!

This was precisely why, the moment Lin Yun broke through to Soul Elder, Di Tian had such an exaggerated reaction. The invisible Dragon's Might Lin Yun radiated was particularly effective on Di Tian, who was already his devoted subordinate.

"Senior, just how great of a gift did you give me?"

Lin Yun silently felt the overwhelming power surging within him, along with those terrifying talents and abilities.

Without truly possessing the Golden Dragon King's power, one could never comprehend its strength.

But Lin Yun was fortunate enough to experience it firsthand—the monstrous power of the Golden Dragon King, a being second only to the Dragon God himself!

Yet, Lin Yun also had a strange premonition…

He felt as if…

The mysterious senior who had granted him this "cheat" power might actually be from his own world?

But if that were the case, then why would a fellow transmigrator give him such a powerful advantage?

Wasn't the first rule of transmigrators to eliminate each other in order to monopolize the resources of this world?

[Mysterious Senior: "Hah, hilarious. I've already created a whole universe—why would I care about a few scraps from this world?"]

Lin Yun quickly shook off these chaotic thoughts. His current strength was nowhere near enough to deal with those matters. Perhaps, when he eventually reached the pinnacle, he would finally learn the truth.

But he wasn't too worried.

After all, that mysterious being had given him two choices at the start—and it was only after he chose to kill Tang San that he received the Golden Dragon King's power.

Which meant…

Lin Yun understood everything!

"As long as I take down Tang San, we are sworn brothers—different fathers, different mothers, same heart and soul!"

Not long after Lin Yun's breakthrough, the Ice Empress—who had successfully overcome a 400,000-year heavenly tribulation—returned, her strength surging once again.

Even outside the Extreme North, she now possessed the power of a Rank 98 Super Douluo!

And if she were in her home territory, the 400,000-year Ice Empress could even contend with an Ultimate Douluo!

The perfect bodyguard!

Upon her return, she replaced Di Tian as the sole spirit beast guarding Lin Yun. She took the form of a tiny ten-centimeter-long scorpion, hiding within his clothing.

At night, however, that tiny scorpion could transform into a soft, fragrant little loli, becoming Lin Yun's personal bedtime pillow.

(A certain Auspicious Beast: "Unacceptable! Absolutely unacceptable! I was here first—sob... No, I won't stand for this! I'm going to take human form too! The Empress' position must be mine!")

(Mine!!!)

Then, the Auspicious Beast vanished.

When Lin Yun asked Di Tian about the whereabouts of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion,

Di Tian simply smiled in silence.

No matter how much Lin Yun threatened him, Di Tian refused to speak a word.

As the sun rose and set, as seasons came and went...

Eight months passed in the blink of an eye.
