At this moment, Hei Yu faced the tenth Celestial Thunder, and it was extremely perilous.
A day had passed, and more than half of the last Celestial Thunder had subsided, while Hei Yu's injuries became increasingly severe.
Qian Xunji thought it was time to act.
"Action!"
Immediately, ten Titled Douluo from the Martial Soul Hall made their move, rushing to surround Hei Yu from all directions, with nine Soul Rings each shimmering brightly, directly using their strongest Soul Techniques.
Hei Yu's dragon eyes dimmed slightly; normally, he would completely ignore these people, their attacks would feel like nothing on him at full strength, but now, due to the Celestial Thunder causing his dragon body to be covered in scars, with dragon scales shattered and flesh exposed, these Titled Douluo's attacks could make an impact in his current situation.
Hei Yu, already extremely weak, did not engage, but instead let out a tumultuous dragon roar: "Realm of Apocalypse!!"
Hei Yu continued to strike the Celestial Thunder with full force, while a sudden flash of resolute light in his dragon eyes released a circle of black ripples exploding from his immense dragon body, instantly sweeping across every inch of the surrounding space.
The ten Titled Douluo, all above level ninety-five, were especially shocked when Qian Daoliu, who was about to step into level ninety-nine Limitless Douluo, and Qian Xunji, along with other Titled Douluo's pupils contracted instantly.
Their attacks, each capable of destroying a city, collided with the sweeping black aura, surprisingly collapsing directly.
Whoo!!
The black aura swept past them, in an instant, they were all hurled away, bodies wracked with severe pain, each vomiting fresh blood, severely injured, especially mentally experiencing sharp pain and dizziness.
Boom, boom, boom...
The ten Titled Douluo crashed to the ground, five of them not rising, directly passing out.
The five Titled Douluo including Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji, beyond level ninety-five, did not faint but stood up awkwardly, bodies shaking.
Meanwhile, at the perimeter of the encirclement, strong individuals from the Martial Soul Hall like Bibi Dong, Ju Douluo, and Ghost Douluo felt the terror of the black aura, instinctively turned and fled, escaping a thousand meters in a second, but it was in vain.
Facing the swiftly sweeping black aura, they were filled with terror, powerlessness, and despair. It was as if ordinary people were facing a hundred-meter-high tsunami; all efforts were futile, destined to be engulfed.
Suddenly trembling while rapidly escaping, their eyes turned white, directly fainting to the ground.
Outside the encirclement, there were ten Soul Douluo, twenty Soul Saints, and thirty Soul Emperors.
Here, they were completely ineffective, their collapse not from fainting, but direct death.
Facing the Realm of Apocalypse, even Titled Douluo suffered severe injuries, let alone them, directly dead from shock.
Qian Xunji's eyes were filled with horror and fright: "How... how could this be..."
Qian Daoliu was equally incredulous, looking at the five Titled Douluo who passed out directly, and the Martial Soul Hall soul masters in the outer circle, most of whom were dead!
"What kind of domain is this, so terrifying." Qian Daoliu was horrified, apprehensive.
In such a weakened state, just one domain reduced them to this, should it be a direct confrontation, what then?
Qian Xunji sensed the outer circle, felt Bibi Dong's aura still present, then breathed a sigh of relief but his expression was extremely unpleasant, knowing that just one domain had already caused significant losses!
Qian Xunji said in a low voice: "We have to kill him, or the losses will be too great."
Qian Daoliu frowned: "Too strong, we didn't feel the terror of the Celestial Thunder, so ignored his power; his power far exceeds our imagination. But indeed, he must die; having provoked him, if he doesn't die, Martial Soul Hall will be destroyed."
The Celestial Thunder became more terrifying, carrying the divine threat of extermination, unusual in itself, but even the terrifying Celestial Thunder fell far short of divine power. Hei Yu knew that some deity or higher existence didn't want him to become a God.
Hei Yu resounded with a solemn roar: "I will become a God, who can stop me."
Hei Yu's whole body burst with dazzling dark golden light; as he continuously shattered the Celestial Thunder, the light transformed from dark gold to bright gold.
As Hei Yu furiously attacked, an enormous golden ring like a rising sun encircled his mighty dragon body, instantly illuminating the entire Xingdou Great Forest in golden glory.
Seeing this massive golden ring, Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu, and other Titled Douluo displayed greedy eyes.
Although they didn't know why the black dragon could manifest this golden ring, they knew it was a Million-Year Soul Ring! If the tribulation was successful, it would be a Divine Ring!
Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, Qian Jun, and Demon Subduing, five Titled Douluo, distanced themselves, then sat cross-legged, beginning to adjust their breaths, waiting for the Celestial Thunder to continue consuming Hei Yu before making their move.
At this moment, outside Xingdou Great Forest.
A white leopard rapidly shuttled, carrying five people on its body.
This white leopard, clearly an Agile Attack Soul Douluo, now in the True Martial Soul state, was speeding towards the core area of Xingdou Great Forest.
On it, stood four people and an unconscious beautiful woman.
Among the four, there was one whom Ye Yu recognized at a glance, Ye Lengqiu!
At this moment, Ye Yu's vision continuously flickered, already with clenched fists, anger, and pain; when the scene shifted to this, Ye Yu looked at the unconscious woman.
The woman's face was pale, blood at the corner of her mouth, clothed in loose green attire, but the fabric around her abdomen still prominently stretched round.
The woman was clearly pregnant and about to give birth.
At this moment, Ye Yu's forehead veins pulsed with rage, his heart filled with malice, strands of extreme evil qi pouring forth from his body.
The unconscious woman was clearly Ye Yu's mother, Ye Yuqing.
Ye Yuqing's beautiful eyes trembled, gradually waking up, her blurry vision surveying the surroundings, all scenes swiftly passing by, along with the thunderous roar of Celestial Thunder; Ye Yuqing gripped her hands tightly, nails digging into her palms, pain prompting clarity.
Ye Yuqing awoke, attempting to stand, but Ye Lengqiu glanced down, lifting his foot, then stomped heavily.
Ye Yuqing's complexion changed slightly, swiftly turning over, with a bang, Ye Lengqiu's foot landed on her back.
Ye Lengqiu sneered: "So protective of your son? Hmph, if not useful, I would have killed him already."
Ye Yuqing turned, glaring angrily at Ye Lengqiu: "What do you want?"
Earlier in her sect's room, she was suddenly ambushed and lost consciousness, awakening here.
Following the reverberating Celestial Thunder, she looked up, seeing distant skies full of dark clouds, bright blue lightning brilliantly bombarding, like countless centipedes crawling the sky.
"This is..."
Ye Yuqing's heart tensed.
Ye Lengqiu mocked: "Hmph, realized something? We've already learned about it. Never thought you would be with a Soul Beast, even have a child. Oh, no, it shouldn't be called a child."
Ye Lengqiu scornfully corrected: "It should be called a beast offspring, born from soul beast-human union, can't be considered human."
Ye Yuqing was astonished inside, how did they know?
"What do you intend to do? What about soul beasts, he is no different from humans."
Ye Lengqiu sneered: "Hmph, think transforming into a human makes it a human? A soul beast remains a soul beast."
Ye Yuqing looked at the person beside Ye Lengqiu, dressed in black, instantly recognizing him as a black-robed Bishop of the Martial Soul Hall.
"People from the Martial Soul Hall."
Ye Yuqing's heart felt a sense of unease; did they intend to deal with Hei Yu?
Ye Lengqiu indifferently said: "You actually being with a soul beast truly almost implicated our Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect. As a future sect leader successor, you really let the sect down. Initially, our sect's survival was uncertain, but fortunately, the lords of the Martial Soul Hall are magnanimous. Later, as long as you take advantage of the opportunity to approach him and deliver a deadly blow, you can redeem yourself, then eliminate the beast offspring you carry, thus sparing your life."
Upon hearing, Ye Yuqing's face sank: "Impossible!"
"Hmph, knew you'd respond like this, so we'll have to proceed alternatively."
Ye Yuqing immediately rushed her soul power, but quickly the black-robed Bishop slapped the back of her neck, causing her to faint.
Ye Lengqiu sneered: "Foolish, thinking you could struggle as a Support?"
Ye Lengqiu turned to the black-robed Bishop, bowing with flattery: "Not sure, if successful, will our Nine-Hearted Begonia Sect remain unharmed?"
The black-robed Bishop casually replied: "Rest assured, with success, the Martial Soul Hall won't act against you, instead you'll become the sect leader's successor, and your relationship with the Martial Soul Hall will grow closer."
Ye Lengqiu showed joy: "Thank you! The Martial Soul Hall not only is magnanimous by not implicating our sect but also friendly towards us, truly the strongest force on the continent."
