Chapter 44: The Fifth Ring
Long Chen's fourth soul ring came from a ten thousand-year soul beast. Therefore, his requirements for the upcoming fifth soul ring are not low; at least it must come from a soul beast with a cultivation level of more than 30,000 years.
The four continued to move towards the center of the star dou Great Forest.
The dense trees blocked out the sun, and the sunlight shone through the sparse gaps, forming mottled light and shadows.
The air was filled with the moist smell of soil and the freshness of leaves. Occasionally, a few low roars of soul beasts came, adding a bit of mystery and danger to this silent forest.
"Everyone be careful, this is already very close to the center of the forest, and the cultivation level of soul beasts is generally high," Ye Tianming reminded.
He glanced around vigilantly.
As a soul master who is about to become a fighting soul douluo level, he has a keen perception and can feel the soul power fluctuations faintly coming from the surrounding air.
Just as the few people continued to move forward, a heavy footsteps accompanied by the sound of trees being knocked down came from not far away.
"Stop moving forward, there are soul beasts coming!" Ye Tianming's face changed, and he quickly protected everyone in front of him, his eyes fixed on the direction where the sound came from.
After a while, a huge beast appeared in their sight.
It was a one-horned giant rhino, five meters long.
It was covered with heavy gray armor, and the texture of muscles was faintly visible under its skin, as if every inch contained explosive power.
It had a huge horn on its head, flashing with cold light, and its eyes were full of wildness and cruelty.
"Forty thousand years! This is a one-horned giant rhino with a cultivation of 40,000 years!" Ye Tianming exclaimed in a low voice.
He knew the horror of this soul beast. Not only was it amazingly powerful, but it was also tough and thick, making it extremely difficult to deal with. However, a blazing light flashed in Long Chen's eyes.
"Uncle, it came at the right time. Let it be my fifth soul ring."
Ye Tianming was stunned for a moment.
Ye Tianming accompanied Long Chen when he obtained soul rings for the first three times.
The fourth time was when Dugu Bo accompanied him.
Ye Tianming knew that Long Chen's physical condition was not comparable to that of ordinary soul masters. The second, third, and fourth soul rings were all beyond the limit that ordinary soul masters could bear.
After taking several immortal herbs, Long Chen's body and mental strength undoubtedly became stronger.
Ye Tianming believed that he could withstand the energy impact of the 40,000-year soul ring.
"Xiao Chen, you have this idea, which shows that you are very confident in yourself. This is indeed a good challenge. I support you."
After Ye Tianming finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Ye Susu and Ye Lingling behind him and said:
"Susu, protect Lingling, I will help Xiao Chen hunt that soul beast."
Long Chen hurriedly said:
"Uncle, let me hunt it alone."
"What?!" Ye Tianming was shocked.
"Xiao Chen, I know you are very powerful. You hunted the 10,000-year soul beast last time. But this rhino has 40,000 years of cultivation, which is not comparable to ordinary 10,000-year soul beasts."
"Uncle, you forgot that my fourth soul skill is a 10,000-year soul skill. Just like before, if I can't take it down, it's not too late for you to take action again."
Long Chen smiled indifferently, looking confident.
Ye Tianming nodded.
"Well, be careful."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Long Chen said, taking a deep breath.
Then he slowly raised his hands, and the Dark Night Demon Harp martial spirit instantly appeared in front of him.
The black body of the harp emitted a faint light.
The fourth soul ring also lit up, flashing a deep black light.
The fourth soul skill, the magic sound summons Tao Wu, was activated.
As the notes jumped, a huge Tao Wu phantom appeared out of thin air.
Its fangs were exposed in its mouth, and it let out a deafening roar.
Ye Tianming and the other two were shocked when they saw this.
This was the first time they had seen Long Chen's ten thousand-year soul skills.
As soon as the shadow of Taowu appeared, it rushed directly towards the giant one-horned rhino.
The two collided instantly, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The giant one-horned rhino was not to be outdone and used its hard horn to hit the shadow of Taowu fiercely, and the two started a fierce melee.
Although Taowu was just a shadow, its combat power was not weak at all. Every attack was with a force of ten thousand kilograms, and it was hard to separate the giant one-horned rhino.
Long Chen controlled Taowu to fight with the giant one-horned rhino while looking for the best time to attack.
Although the giant one-horned rhino was strong, it gradually showed signs of fatigue under Taowu's desperate attack.
With the shining of the first soul ring, the shadow of Taotie appeared out of thin air.
The two beasts attacked the giant one-horned rhino from the left and right.
The giant unicorn suddenly cried out in pain, and a trace of fear flashed in its eyes, but it was too late.
Taowu took the opportunity to open his huge mouth and bit the neck of the giant unicorn, and the powerful force almost broke its neck.
The giant unicorn struggled for a few times and finally fell down powerlessly. Its huge body hit the ground, causing a violent vibration.
The battle was over.
Long Chen put away the Dark Night Magic Harp martial spirit.
The shadows of Taotie and Taowu also dissipated.
A wisp of black mist slowly emerged from the body of the giant unicorn and rose up.
Seeing this scene, Ye Tianming and the other two were a little shocked. This soul beast with a cultivation of 40,000 years was killed by Long Chen alone.
Long Chen's strength far exceeds that of soul masters of the same level.
Every soul skill he possesses seems to have unimaginable power.
Hunting this 40,000-year-old soul beast, Long Chen also consumed a lot of soul power.
Ye Lingling hurried forward and asked with concern:
"Brother Chen, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, I just consumed some soul power."
"I'll help you recover."
Ye Lingling said, and quickly released the Holy Heart Begonia martial spirit.
Soft golden light was released from the petals of the Holy Heart Begonia, slowly descending on Long Chen, completely covering him.
A warm force surged into Long Chen's body, helping him quickly recover the soul power consumed in the battle.
Long Chen felt that his soul power was recovering rapidly, and smiled at Ye Lingling.
"Lingling, it's great to have you here, I will be able to recover to my best condition soon."
Ye Tianming and Ye Susu also came over, looking at the unicorn rhino lying on the ground, their eyes full of amazement.
"Xiaochen's strength is really getting stronger and stronger."
With the help of Ye Lingling, it only took a moment for Long Chen to recover to his best condition.
At this time, the ten thousand-year soul ring had condensed into shape.
"Xiao Chen, go absorb the spirit ring. We will guard the formation for you."
Long Chen nodded without saying anything.
He walked to the corpse of the giant unicorn, closed his eyes, and began to absorb the spirit ring.
The moment the spirit ring entered his body, Long Chen only felt a huge amount of energy bursting out in his body, surging wildly along his meridians.
With his tenacious will, he gradually tamed the energy.
Ye Tianming and the other two looked at Long Chen, and only felt relieved when they saw that his face was calm and his breathing was even. The three of them quietly guarded by his side.
Time seemed to stand still, and everything around seemed so quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, when the last ray of light dissipated, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes.
