The Blood Demon Beetle seeing this let out a fearful roar!
At that moment, the aura enveloping Wang Feng and the power emanating from the Pangu Axe instilled instinctual terror in him!
Nevertheless, this roar failed to deter Wang Feng!
Witnessing this, the Blood Demon Beetle shot out two blood colored pillars of beam directly at Wang Feng.
Its blood pillars posed a grave threat to any soul masters. Once struck, they would instantly go berserk, losing consciousness and reasoning until exhaustion, leading to their demise, their essence afterward would be absorbed by the Blood Demon Beetle.
Shortly after, the stone armor etched with countless lines on his back swiftly interlocked, forming an impenetrable armor.
Simultaneously, the blood wing behind the beetle, emitted an intense glow. This radiance could affect the surrounding area, ensnaring enemies and drastically reducing their speed.
Having done all this, Wang Feng still remained unhindered! The blood colored pillars hit onto him but without any effect!
Even the light emitted by the blood wings failed to impede Wang Feng!
With the force of thunder, Wang Feng's axe descended squarely onto the Blood Demon Beetle's back!
Given the immense size of the Blood Demon Beetle, despite Wang Feng's impressive aura, his axe striking its back resembled a basketball falling onto a basketball court.
However...
At the moment of impact!
Crack!
The ground beneath the Blood Demon Beetle seemed to buckle under the weight of hundreds of tons as countless fissures radiated in all directions.
Its massive body rapidly sank into the ground unable to bear the force of the attack!
And the stone armor on its back was nearly instantaneously shattered!
While this Blood Demon Beetle boasted considerable defensive capabilities, it might not surpass the defensive prowess of the previous Mysterious Thorns Black Turtle that Wang Feng killed for his third soul rings!
The turtle afterall, was renowned for its defensive strength.
At this juncture, Wang Feng, now at Level 40, also naturally exceeded his previous power at Level 30.
Wielding the axe, Wang Feng's body only leaked a small amount of blood. He didn't suffer a direct backlash like last time, where nearly all his bones were shattered.
However, this axe attack merely breached the defense of the Blood Demon Beetle's.
"It appears one attack isn't sufficient..."
In this moment, Wang Feng's entire being pulsated with energy as he brandished the Pangu Axe, sensing the lingering strength within him. His gaze sharpened,
"Then, let's see you take another one!"
After all, this was a sixty-thousand-year-old Blood Demon Beetle.
Even with his current strength at level forty, slaying it with a single all out attack was implausible, its vitality was too robust.
Had it been a thirty-thousand-year-old turtle from back then, it would have perished under this single attack.
Yet, Wang Feng now possessed greater power!
Fortieth rank soul power + [Deification] soul ability + [Lotus of Thorns] third soul ability + current body tempered by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire + the profound serenity induced by the skull.
In this moment, Wang Feng distinctly felt he still had the capacity to wield the axe one more time.
Roar!
At this juncture, the stone like carapace on the Blood Demon Beetle's back cracked had already been cracked, and it continuously emitted a vehement unwilling roar.
It suddenly bellowed something, its voice dripping with fury,
"Who in the world are you, human? I've lived for countless years... I've never encountered such an overblown martial soul among any humans that could render you so feeble and yet harm me!"
Its voice was jarring, sounding as if a foreigner was trying to speak Mandarin, clearly not the dialect commonly heard.
Yes, it boasted a cultivation base of 60,000 years. In the Star Dou Great Forest, it had vanquished numerous soul masters and soul beasts.
Never had it witnessed such exaggerated and potent martial soul!
Clearly, the level of this human wasn't high, yet it had managed to inflict such grievous harm upon it!
Unless it was a Titled Douluo, even the formidable Soul Douluo might struggle to inflict such damage upon him!
Wang Feng couldn't be bothered to respond, he gathered his strength throughout his body, leaped high once more and cleaved down with his Pangu Axe once more.
This time, due to some exertion beyond his limits, his bones also emitted a crisp crack.
As he descended, he resembled a taut hunting bow brimming with power, the axe striking the Blood Demon Beetle without the protection of its stone carapace.
The flesh and blood beneath its carapace were sliced cleanly, bursting apart in a frenzy. Wang Feng also collapsed to the ground after launching the attack.
"Two axes is still a bit challenging... If I were at the sixtieth level, one single axe could finish off this damn beetle."
Wang Feng spat out a mouthful of blood as the Pangu Axe in his hand vanished instantly.
This Blood Demon Beetle wasn't an ordinary 60,000-year-old soul beast, it belonged to the extremely fierce category, almost the same as Er Ming. Even if Dugu Bo were to come, let alone two moves, he wouldn't be able to kill this Beetle even within ten moves. However, Dugu Bo excelled in group battles, not singles and is mostly powerful against human Titled Douluo.
Moreover, there was also the factor of the Pangu Axe's restraint, causing the beetle to fear and almost weaken it by 20%.
Wang Feng lay on the ground, gasping for breath. After using the Pangu Axe for the second time, he had already adapted somewhat to its exaggerated demand on his body. With the limit of two attack, Wang Feng's injuries were much milder than before. Additionally, the Meteoric Tears surged with energy, swiftly aiding in his recovery. However, due to his robust physique, the speed of the Meteoric Tears' healing was slightly slower than before.
As Wang Feng recuperated...
In the distance, Qian Renxue and her party, who were hunting a 20,000-year-old Violent Blazing Tiger, were stunned. To be precise, they were stunned when the beam of light suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the distance.
"What is that?"
Qian Renxue gazed at the beam of light in astonishment.
"It's powerful!"
Meng Shen Ji observed with shock and terror, "It's definitely powerful... No, this aura emanating from it is too terrifying. Not even a normal Titled Douluo possess such an aura!"
The other two Titled Douluo were also shocked. Initially, even Sword Douluo was taken aback by this aura, finding it extraordinary. At this moment, the three of them were even more astounded!
"Your Highness, look! This Violent Blazing Tiger has calmed down? There's even fear in its eyes!" Zhi Lin pointed to the struggling Violent Blazing Tiger, ensnared by his Sky Vines. The moment the beam of light appeared, it immediately settled down!
Qian Renxue was equally alarmed. She sensed clearly that this Violent Blazing Tiger was even more terrified than when he encountered Feng Yuxiu before!
"How terrifying!" Bai Baoshan muttered, "Even I feel unnerved... What in the world is that?"
As the central beam of light intensified, a group of light resembling thunder suddenly appeared in the air, with a figure vaguely discernible within. However, it was too distant for the three of them to see clearly. Yet, the aftershock of the attack could reach them here!
"Don't concern yourselves. Guard me. I'll dispatch this Violent Blazing Tiger and absorb its soul ring." Qian Renxue declared calmly. "It's the perfect opportunity, and nearby soul beasts also won't intervene!"
The three nodded in agreement. Indeed, this was the opportune moment.
Star Dou Great Forest, at its center.
"Er Ming, do you sense it?" The massive form of the Sky Azure Bull Python emerged from the vast and pristine lake.
On the lakeshore, the Titan Giant Ape was grooming himself.
"It's that aura again... After a year, it feels like it's grown stronger... Er Ming, what do you think?"
"I feel the same." Er Ming replied innocently.
The Sky Azure Bull Python glared at him and spoke in a deep voice, "Head to that location. Xiao Wu hasn't returned for over a year... I'm uncertain if it's dangerous. Her companions don't seem to frequent Star Dou Great Forest anymore."
"Alright, big brother. Once I'm done grooming, I'll check it out. If Xiao Wu isn't there, I'll handle it." Er Ming said.
The Sky Azure Bull Python gazed at him, silent for a moment, then suggested, "Why not scout the area first before going out?"
"As you say Big brother! Why didn't I think of that?" Er Ming's large eyes brightened, and he ruffled his freshly groomed fur. "I'll mess it up now and tidy it up when I return. Brother, I'm off to take a look."
With that, Er Ming ventured out.
"Remember, don't get too close." the Sky Azure Bull Python reminded.
Wang Feng recuperated for a while, but the recovery ability of the Meteoric Tears remained potent. As long as he had time, no matter how severe the injuries, he could recover...
After a brief respite, Wang Feng rose and approached the Blood Demon Beetle corpse. The dark soul ring emitted a dazzling light and a faintly enticing aura emanated from it. However, Wang Feng refrained from absorbing it.
"Red Lotus Karmic Fire!" Wang Feng pivoted, as the Red lLotus blazed with fiery red light.
"Go!" Some of his regained soul power propelled Wang Feng to ignite the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus, transforming it into a torrent of flames, engulfing the Blood Demon Beetle.
The Blood Demon Beetle was too formidable. Even in death, Wang Feng feared its soul would be exceedingly cruel. Directly absorbing it will left Wang Feng somewhat anxious.
To err on the side of caution, Wang Feng chose to incinerate it with the Karmic Fire. It hadn't occurred to him earlier, but he realized it might aid in the subsequent process of body and soul refinement with the Red Lotus.
Would burning the souls of these soul beasts with the Red Lotus Karmic Fire facilitate smoother absorption? Perhaps condensing the ferocious souls of these beasts a bit would ease the absorption process?
The Red Lotus Karmic Fire slowly consumed the Blood Demon Beetle. Faintly, Wang Feng sensed what seemed like the cries of the soul beast, as if the Blood Demon Beetle was crying in pain. Its size also posed a challenge, the Karmic Fire didn't quickly engulf it whole, but it directly targeted the soul!
Without hesitation, Wang Feng sat cross-legged, guiding his soul power to commence absorbing the soul ring of the Blood Demon Beetle! The black soul ring ascended from the beetle's corpse and descended into Wang Feng's body...
The immense soul power contained within the soul ring were directly poured into Wang Feng's body. With each influx, Wang Feng felt a sense of satisfaction! It appeared his initial approach was correct!
After the beetle was consumed by the Karmic Fire, its soul weakened significantly, and the soul power within the soul ring lacked the ferocious aura it once possessed.
It wouldn't obliterate one's own soul! It was sufficient for both the Black Lotus and the Dark Angel martial soul to absorb a portion.
Wang Feng first controlled the Black Lotus, extracting the residual consciousness of the beetle from the soul ring. After saturating the Black Lotus, Wang Feng summoned the Dark Angel martial soul once more, continuing to absorb the remaining consciousness within the soul ring. Vaguely, Wang Feng sensed the first pair of wings behind the Dark Angel martial soul illuminate somewhat.
Then, Wang Feng began the formal absorption of the soul ring's energy. The formidable soul power clashed throughout his body, but fortunately, the Meteoric Tears was active, aiding in the process of soul power assimilation.
In addition to this immense soul power, because the beetle's soul had been seared by the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and augmented by the spiritual power of the skull, Wang Feng could actually control this vast soul power easily! Furthermore, his physical prowess at this point was already comparable to that of a level 70 Soul Saint, enabling him to absorb it much more effectively than before.
