The Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's face was not only covered with a white bone mask, but the bone armor on its body was also repaired under the blood-black evil aura, becoming even more solid.
Moreover, the eyes of the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull underwent a change, with the whites of its eyes turning black and the pupils turning yellow. Its aura became even more violent and malevolent.
"Roar!!!"
The Celestial Void Power Demon Bull was extremely irritable, letting out an earth-shattering roar. Where it stepped, the ground sank, and its figure burst forth, a whistling sound tearing through the air as if the very atmosphere could be ripped apart.
Flande's sixth black Soul Ring radiated light, his right hand clenched into a fist, going forward to meet it.
Boom!!!
In an instant, the entire ground boiled, lifting to a height of one hundred meters. The terrifying sound nearly deafened Ye Yu; had it been another Soul Master, the mere sonic impact would have caused them to bleed from their seven orifices. However, Ye Yu's body was already strong enough and unharmed.
The collision between the two unleashed a terrifying force that recklessly spread out, causing the surrounding space to tremble. Within a span of a thousand meters, giant trees were all uprooted, and a large area of yellow earth was picked up, blotting out the sky and covering the sun.
In the blink of an eye, a terrifying gust of wind blew everything away, revealing a vast open area spanning several thousand meters into view.
Ye Yu watched the scene, exclaiming, "Is this the battle between a Soul Saint Level and a Ten Thousand Years Soul Beast Level? It's truly terrifying to the extreme."
Ye Yu felt fortunate and thought, "Fortunately, my body is strong, otherwise, even this far away, I would have been injured by the aftershocks."
As the blows collided, Flande remained unmoved, his expression calm, his arm extended straight, while the arm of the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull trembled slightly.
Boom!!
After a brief stalemate, the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull was flung backwards, its blood and energy surging wildly within its body.
Flande marvelled inwardly, "As expected of a mutated Celestial Void Power Demon Bull, if we were at the same level, even at full strength, I wouldn't be its match."
Flande felt relieved, thinking it a good thing it wasn't a thirty-thousand-year one, otherwise, he would have had to flee with Ye Yu.
As the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull flew backward, Flande swiftly moved above it, delivering a heavy punch to its head.
Boom!
The Celestial Void Power Demon Bull suddenly landed on the ground, creating a deep pit with a network of wide cracks spreading in all directions, the longest extending to Ye Yu's feet.
With his keen senses, no Soul Beast dared approach this area, fearing collateral damage.
In a brief dizzy spell, the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull burst forth again, its bone mask now showing several cracks.
Boom boom boom boom...
The two figures clashed again, continuing their collision. Ye Yu could no longer capture their figures with the naked eye, not even at the moment of collision, only the thunderous roars and the terrifying shock waves proved the battle was still ongoing.
After a hundred rounds, the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull was already panting, its bone armor full of cracks, and the mask on its face had shattered in several places, exposing half of its face.
As the mask shattered, its aura weakened considerably, and the color of the Soul Power on its body changed from black back to purple.
"Celestial Void Power Demon Bull, among Soul Beasts under ten thousand years, I, Flande, declare you the strongest. To die by my hand, and become Xiao Yu's Soul Ring, is also your privilege."
Flande's wings flapped behind him, swiftly appearing behind the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull in an instant, delivering a heavy double-fisted blow from both sides to the bull's head.
Boom!!
The powerful double punch shattered the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's consciousness, and with a cracking sound, the mask on its face broke apart completely.
The Celestial Void Power Demon Bull collapsed to the ground helplessly, blood streaming from its head.
Flande breathed a sigh, "Finally resolved."
Ye Yu stepped forward, eyes alight with color, this Celestial Void Power Demon Bull was indeed very strong, obtaining its Soul Ring might grant extremely powerful Soul Techniques.
"It still needs a good beating to become like the Rapid Growth Tiger, unwilling to go on living."
Flande then engaged in a fierce beating, but the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull, unlike the Rapid Growth Tiger, was infused with malicious energy and would not easily give in.
After several minutes of relentless pummeling, noting the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's eyes still filled with extreme resentment, Flande frowned, "The grievance has only grown stronger."
Flande felt it was a bit of a problem. If he kept hitting, it might die.
Ye Yu suggested, "Let me take care of it, and then we can start absorbing."
Flande worriedly remarked, "The Rapid Growth Tiger wanted to die, while the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull is the opposite. If you start absorbing, the resentment will be extreme from the start."
"I know, but if we keep going, it still won't want to die. With its evil aura, it won't compromise, and continuing to hit it is just a waste of time."
Flande nodded, "Alright then, kill it, and we'll head to see Master Xiao Gang."
Ye Yu stepped forward, fist clenched, bursting with full strength, delivering a fierce blow to the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's head.
With a roar, the ground shook, and the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's head was directly driven into the earth.
A single punch, and the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull was not dead.
"Not dead with one punch, then let's go for another."
Boom boom boom...
Punch after punch, ten strikes in all, the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull finally showed no signs of life.
From the body of the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull, purple lightning floated up, forming a more brilliant, extremely dazzling Soul Ring.
This was the Nine-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, and because of the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's inherent malevolence and violence, this Soul Ring appeared even more dominant.
Flande left with Ye Yu, reaching the outskirts of the forest, where Master and Tang San stood.
Upon landing, Master saw the Soul Ring and felt the extreme violence and evil aura, his brow furrowing.
"The presence of evil aura, this..." Master asked gravely, "What Soul Beast's Soul Ring is this?"
Flande sighed, "Ah, it's from the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull, with a nine-thousand-year cultivation."
Hearing this, Master was visibly surprised, frowning seriously, "How could you have Xiao Yu hunt a Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's Soul Ring? Even if Xiao Yu's constitution is special, absorbing this Soul Ring could be dangerous, he might lose his reason, consumed by evil."
Flande helplessly replied, "I know, but there's no choice, Xiao Yu insisted on choosing the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull."
Ye Yu added, "Yes, teacher, it was I who insisted on this choice."
Master looked worried, "Although I don't know if while absorbing, you will experience no resentment or rejection like before, but the evil aura will definitely spread within you, consuming your senses, leading you to madness."
"Since the resentment will disappear, maybe the evil aura will too," Ye Yu conjectured.
Master sighed, seeing Ye Yu's determination, knowing persuasion would be futile.
"Alright then, begin your absorption."
Ye Yu nodded and sat cross-legged, beginning to channel soul power to draw in the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's Soul Ring.
Tang San was also somewhat worried, knowing that while Ye Yu had easily absorbed an eleven-hundred-year Soul Ring, clearly, this Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's Soul Ring was not simple, carrying evil aura.
Furthermore, being nine-thousand-years, the energy he'd absorbed from a four-hundred-year Soul Ring was already intensely painful, how terrifying would nine-thousand years be?
As Ye Yu began his absorption, the piercing purple Soul Ring slowly shrank, coiling around the Nine Spirits Black Begonia on Ye Yu's right hand.
Master, Flande, and Tang San all watched with intense focus, hoping it would be like before, with no resentment and rejection, otherwise, Ye Yu was in a life-and-death situation.
At this moment, the Celestial Void Power Demon Bull's Soul Ring's consciousness contained extreme resentment, having realized long before it had no hope of survival, planning to take Ye Yu down with it while its Soul Ring was absorbed.
However, as its extreme resentment and evil aura began to spread out, it was instantly startled!
