Chapter 11: Earth Dragon Emperor vs. Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Xuan Mo and Flanders continued their search through the Star Dou Great Forest for seven days.
While they encountered many types of soul beasts, including quite a few with dragon bloodlines,
Xuan Mo dismissed these beasts as too weak and lacking in attributes, and thus abandoned them.
Thus far, they had yet to find a soul beast that met Xuan Mo's requirements.
However, the two of them didn't dwell on it, as the number of soul beasts that met Xuan Mo's requirements was truly too small.
Since they couldn't find any soul beasts in this area, they simply left and continued their journey deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
After about an hour's journey, the sky was already darkening.
Xuan Mo and Flanders were resting under a large tree. Just as they thought they would find nothing again, they heard a loud crash not far away.
"Roar!" "Roar!"
Then, two angry roars echoed from a distance! These two voices instantly brought the surrounding ten-year-old soul beasts, and even some hundred-year-old soul beasts, to their knees, some even trembling in fear!
Flender and Xuan Mo were instantly shocked. They quickly placed their food into their soul guides and hurried towards the scene.
Flender and Xuan Mo arrived at the scene moments later.
Standing atop a large tree, they gazed down.
Below, two soul beasts were engaged in a fight.
One was a giant bear covered in dark golden fur, over two meters tall. Its arms were enormous, tipped with sharp, dark golden claws that stretched a foot in length. Its sturdy arms extended, and its claws sliced through the air, making a slight hissing sound. The other was a ground dragon covered in earth-yellow dragon scales, its body a full two meters long as it crept forward. The massive dragon's tail was covered in thick barbs, giving it an uncanny appearance.
Upon taking in the two soul beasts, Flender's expression suddenly brightened with excitement.
"Mo, you're incredibly lucky. From what I can see, the two soul beasts below are both century-old soul beasts. They're the Earth Dragon Emperor, possessing true dragon bloodline and the earth attribute, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, possessing Behemoth bloodline, capable of battling dragons."
"They're both top-tier soul beasts, on par with the Titan Ape. Either one should be perfect for you!"
Xuan Mo's blood instantly boiled!
Two top-tier century-old soul beasts, not to mention the Earth Dragon Emperor and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
Xuan Mo's eyes burned with excitement.
After days of searching the Star Dou Great Forest, he finally found the soul beasts he needed.
And two of them at once.
"Well, I've given you two soul beasts to choose from. Which one do you want?"
"Earth Dragon Emperor!"
Xuan Mo didn't hesitate. Although the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was also a top-tier soul beast, on par with, or even stronger than, the Earth Dragon Emperor, the Earth Dragon Emperor was a better match for Xuan Mo's martial spirit. This was because the Earth Dragon Emperor not only possessed the earth element, but also possessed the blood of a true dragon, which could purify his own martial spirit to a certain extent.
"Okay! Then let's just sit back and watch the fight unfold."
Flanders narrowed his eyes, grabbed Xuan Mo, and led him to a... a more secluded location.
"Uncle, I thought you meant to take direct action and help me capture the Earth Dragon Emperor?"
Xuan Mo looked at Flanders, who had taken him into hiding, his face filled with frustration. After all, in his opinion, with Flanders' Soul Sage cultivation, the Earth Dragon Emperor should be easy to capture.
There was no need to hide and hope for a chance.
"What do you know, kid?" Flanders slapped Xuan Mo on the back of the head.
"The Earth Dragon Emperor and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, both soul beasts, can use their hundred-year cultivation to confront ten-thousand-year soul beasts. If I were to attack, given their hatred for humans, they would undoubtedly reconcile first and then turn their attacks against me. This means I would face an attack from two soul beasts with cultivation equivalent to ten-thousand-year soul beasts."
Flender then pointed at the fighting Earth Dragon Emperor and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
"As a Soul Sage, I can only be entangled by them without any danger to my life. But you are different." "
The Star Dou Great Forest is full of dangers. If I were entangled by those two soul beasts, and other hundred-year or even thousand-year soul beasts attacked you, I wouldn't have time to escape and save you. So, our last resort is to wait until they are both defeated, and then we can take advantage and strike." Xuan Mo broke out in a cold sweat after hearing Flender's words. At that moment, he truly understood that this was reality...
Then, "Roar!"
The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared loudly!
A bear claw swung fiercely, its already enormous size trebling in the air, from a foot to a meter. The terrifying claw, gleaming with a dark golden light, slashed straight towards the Earth Dragon Emperor.
However, the Earth Dragon Emperor reacted quickly, sending stone pillars piercing the ground to meet the dark golden claw.
But soon, the stone pillars shattered like tofu. The dark golden claw's momentum remained undiminished, continuing its downward trajectory towards the Earth Dragon Emperor.
However, the next second, the Earth Dragon Emperor immediately launched his own defenses and attacks.
A shimmering ochre light enveloped the dragon's scales. At that moment, the scales resembled golden rocks, shielding the Earth Dragon Emperor's form.
As the Dark Gold Terror Claws descended, a clanging, humming sound echoed.
They left only four white marks on the Earth Dragon Emperor's scales.
Simultaneously, the Earth Dragon Emperor's tail shone with an ochre-colored glow. The Earth Dragon Emperor spun, its massive tail sweeping out in a stream of ochre-colored light and shadows as it charged towards the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.
The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear's eyes widened in fury, a dark golden light emanating from its fur. Each strand of dark gold hair instantly stood up like steel needles. It simultaneously swung its Dark Gold Terror Claws, striking the Earth Dragon Emperor.
Clearly, both were desperately fighting, unleashing their most powerful attacks.
"Boom!"
A massive explosion echoed, stirring up a fierce gale. Dust and smoke flew everywhere, and the ground within a few meters was lifted up by the aftermath of the two soul beasts.
As the smoke and dust cleared, the Earth Dragon Emperor's back was a bloody mess, its scales falling off, and it no longer had the majestic aura it had just possessed.
As for the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, its body was directly blown away by the Earth Dragon Emperor, shattering several boulders. Its appearance was equally miserable. Its chest was sunken, and it was likely that several ribs were broken.
