Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul, the Dragon Abyss Sword, has become its scabbard.

Chapter 44 Dark Gold Terror Claws

Unexpectedly, such a terrifying soul beast as the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has appeared on the edge of this mixed zone.

Seeing the beehive next to it, did this guy only appear in a place like this to eat honey?

However, it should still be nearby. Ding Quan glanced at the mounds between the peaks and saw that there were quite a few honey spirit beasts in this area.

If this dark gold dinosaur is still in this area, it will definitely be searching for honey here.

Ding Quan looked around and then looked up at the sky. If he wasn't mistaken, there were several eagle-like soul beasts circling high in the sky.

Although the other party was far away, the Xuanhuo Eye was still able to see the strength of their soul power.

"At a level of about ten thousand years," Ding Quan nodded to the two of them. Then Ling released his martial soul, and his second soul ring lit up. The group instantly flew into the sky.

They dared not fly inside the mixed zone, where many of the eagle-type soul beasts were over 50,000 years old, which was comparable to a Soul Douluo.

Moreover, eagles have incredibly sharp eyesight, and who knows what special effects they might have? I dare not gamble on whether the opponent can see through the simulation skill.

Even though they've seen through our disguise, we can still handle them from this edge.

Searching slowly would take too much time; flying high above, the situation below becomes immediately clear.

Although flying soul skills don't significantly boost combat power, they are incredibly convenient.

"This way!" Ding Quan flew towards a place with lush flowers and plants nearby, where there were many beehives.

Ding Quanxuan's fiery eyes lit up in the sky, revealing the soul power fluctuations of the soul beasts below. This area was close to the mixed zone, with quite a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts and even more thousand-year soul beasts.

Below a cliff, a giant bear, nearly two meters tall and dark golden in color, is climbing toward a huge beehive above.

Unfortunately, the beehive was too tall, and the giant bear was definitely not tall enough to reach it.

However, as the giant bear stood upright, its height reached over five meters.

Looking at the beehive high above, the giant bear licked its lips, then swung its right arm, and a sharp claw more than two feet long suddenly shot out.

The entire claw was also dark gold in color and emitted a faint glow.

No one doubted whether these claws possessed offensive power, and the dark golden giant bear swung its right arm fiercely.

A dark golden light burst forth from the claws.

The rock face immediately made a rustling sound.

The attack left a claw mark on the rock wall, and at the same time, the beehive high up was also hit, with the edge falling off.

Buzzing~!

A swarm of bees instantly flew toward the dark gold giant bear and landed on its dark gold fur.

The giant bear remained unmoved, casually patted the several fist-sized peak-type soul beasts, and they died instantly, with rings of yellow soul rings appearing.

Despite being covered in bee-like spirit beasts, the dark golden giant bear picked up some honey that had fallen to the ground and ate it directly.

"This is the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. Its attack is indeed terrifying." Vera nodded when she saw the several claw marks of unknown depth on the cliff face and the dark gold giant bear.

"Just as Ding Quan said, its defensive capabilities are very strong."

The collective attack of the bee spirit beasts, which had been around for over a hundred years, had no effect on this dark gold dinosaur bear.

Even soul beasts that are tens of thousands of years old wouldn't dare to provoke these bees, as being stung is truly painful, and the stingers of these soul beast bees that are activated when they are seeking death are extremely sharp.

"This is a super soul beast, with top-tier attack and defense capabilities."

"Quan, what's the age limit?" Ling asked, looking at the dark gold dinosaur claw bear in front of him.

"It's about seven or eight thousand years old."

However, this is still manageable. If it were truly at an unparalleled level, it would be really difficult to deal with.

A Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a lifespan of seven or eight thousand years is roughly equivalent to a Soul Beast with a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.

However, if the opponent reaches the level of ten thousand years, their attack power will become extremely terrifying.

Ding Quan remembered that Xuanzi said ten thousand years later that even a titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that was over ten thousand years old.

While this may be an exaggeration, it does illustrate the terror of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"It's much higher than I expected." Wei'er breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. Although she couldn't obtain the fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beast like Ding Quan and her sister, she had seen the attack power of this guy just now, which was already above many soul beasts that were tens of thousands of years old.

Moreover, looking at the enormous claw of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Ding Quan had said that if such a soul beast were to develop a soul bone, it would most likely be its most powerful claw.

"Let's get started!"

This Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is very strong, but fortunately, it's only a thousand-year-old soul beast, so perhaps a mental attack can work on it.

Moreover, the group can fly, so leaving is not a problem if they are outmatched.

"I'll lure it over here first." Ling saw a swarm of bees there. The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear wasn't afraid of being stung, but his group couldn't withstand it.

"it is good."

Whoosh!

The dark gold dinosaur was enjoying its meal when an ice blade shot directly into its eye.

Roar!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear reacted instantly; its seemingly clumsy body was surprisingly agile, and it immediately closed its eyes and lowered its head.

The ice blade struck him directly on the forehead, instantly freezing into ice crystals.

With a roar, a layer of dark golden soul power surged across its body, and Ling's attack had no effect on it.

However, this action did indeed anger it; the Dark Gold Devilclaw Bear has a bad temper.

Alas!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear raised its head and instantly looked at the group of people who appeared in the distance, letting out a low roar.

Another ice blade shot at it, but the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear blocked it with a single paw, then ran straight towards Ding Quan and the others on all fours.

What a great speed!

Ding Quan knew that this guy's attack and defense were quite terrifying, and its speed was not weak either.

Seeing that the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had escaped the hive, the group immediately released their martial spirits.

Four soul rings—two yellow, one purple, and one black—appeared on Ding Quan's body, and a dark gold longsword appeared in his hand.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear paused in its running, but then continued chasing after the group.

Ling also put away her simulation skill, and four spirit rings, one yellow, two purple, and one black, appeared on her feet.

Wei'er, standing to the side, also released her martial spirit, her body crackling with electric arcs.

"If we can't beat it, we'll take to the air and wear it down!" Ding Quan said before charging straight at it.

"Know!"

Ling nodded upon hearing this, and as he spoke, the first, second, and fourth soul rings beneath his feet lit up one after another, and more than ten petals of the Snow Lotus Martial Soul floated down.

Under the effect of the fourth soul skill, it directly transforms into a blade, emitting wisps of cold air.

It then flew directly towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Although Ling can condense ice to attack, the ice she creates is completely ineffective against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Then we should launch a targeted attack to break through the overall defenses.

Whoosh!

Despite its speed, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear couldn't dodge the incoming phantom blade.

Seeing that it couldn't dodge, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stood up and its huge paws extended sharp blades, shattering a phantom blade.

The moment it shattered, the mental attack within the phantom blade erupted instantly, causing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to freeze in its tracks.

Several illusory blades shot towards his eyes in an instant.

Roar!

With an angry howl, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear unleashed a surge of dark gold soul power before closing its eyes.

This guy also has very high mental resistance. He was hit by Ling's fourth soul skill, and with the amplification of several other soul skills, he recovered instantly.

But that's to be expected, considering it's a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, a super soul beast.

Bang Bang Bang!

Ling's attack struck its face directly, each hit accompanied by a popping sound on its head, and a layer of ice crystals instantly formed on its head.

Seeing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's stiff movements, Ding Quan's first three spirit rings lit up.

His aura surged instantly, the dark golden blade of the Dragon Abyss Sword lit up, and the ring of fire cloud patterns also emitted a faint glow.

A dark yellow hue also appeared on both sides of the sword's spine, making the Longyuan Sword seem much heavier.

drink!

Ding Quan's speed increased dramatically, and he quickly arrived in front of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. His mental energy surged, and the sharpness of the Dragon Abyss Sword was fully revealed. He directly stabbed at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's eyes.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, enduring Ling's phantom blade attack, simply raised its paw.

stirrup!

The Dragon Abyss Sword was blocked by its bear paw, and a metallic clang rang out.

What terrifying defensive power! Vera was also startled when she saw this scene; she knew how sharp the Dragon Abyss Sword was.

Moreover, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear truly lives up to its reputation as a super soul beast. Despite being hit by Ling's ten-thousand-year soul skill, which also possesses mental attack capabilities, it remained unharmed.

Moreover, isn't this defensive power a bit too much? Even its bear paw is considered its thickest part.

The latest novel is first published here!

Awoo!

With a swipe of its paw, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear forced Ding Quan back, as its power was beyond his ability to withstand.

However, Ding Quan revealed a hint of joy, realizing that he had won.

Dark red blood flowed from between the paws of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, indicating that his attack had broken through its defenses.

A pair of bear paws swung towards Ding Quan, who immediately dodged away, while a dark golden claw strike followed closely behind.

Bang! The Dragon Abyss Sword unleashed a sword aura, and the two exploded upon contact.

Ding Quan nodded when he saw that his attack was on par with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

A level 40+ strength corresponds to a soul beast that is roughly 5,000 to 10,000 years old.

The opponent was a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, while he himself had absorbed a ten-thousand-year-old top-tier soul beast's soul ring.

Now it seems that perhaps my attack was superior.

However, when it comes to defense, Ding Quan had no choice but to admit defeat; he couldn't withstand the attacks of the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Feeling his attributes rapidly increasing, Ding Quan once again drew his sword and swung it.

Dangdang Dangdang!

A series of sword energies slashed straight towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

"Quan has become so strong!" Wei'er stood aside without stepping forward. If she couldn't defeat her, she could take Ling and leave directly.

"After obtaining the fourth spirit ring, Quan's strength increased several times, and that head spirit bone greatly enhanced Quan's abilities."

"However, Quanqian is currently using several of his soul skills, so his soul power can't last much longer."

"Wei'er, find the right opportunity."

"Know!"

Ice blades materialized around Ling again and shot towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear once more. At the same time, Wei'er took out a composite bow, which she hadn't used for some time.

He carefully took out an arrow, which he had originally intended to use against the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The arrowhead had a small groove at its tip, from which a strong, foul odor emanated, making it unpleasant to even smell.

Wei'er took out a sachet and was thus unaffected; it contained pollen from the fragrant Qiluo Fairy Tale.

The arrows still contained the venom of the Heavenly Poison Python, but Ding Quan added pollen from the Snow-White Swan's Kiss to them. Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast might not be able to withstand such a venom.

"Izumi! Let's finish this quickly!"

The Dragon Abyss Sword clashed with the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claws, and Ding Quan was knocked back.

Indeed, size is sometimes an advantage; one's strength is completely incomparable.

However, as long as I don't get hit head-on by the opponent's bear paw, I can withstand it.

Ice blades flew towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear again, and Ding Quan immediately distanced himself after hearing Ling's words.

His expression changed, his spiritual power surged, and a pale golden halo instantly spread outwards from Ding Quan, enveloping the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

field!

Ding Quan hasn't given this area a name yet; he can't just call it the Dragon Abyss Domain.

This field is not too strong and is simple at the moment. It increases one's own strength by 10% and weakens the opponent's strength by 10%, because one's own mental power is the main force, suppressing the enemy's mental power.

As Ding Quan looked at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear in front of him, the black soul ring under his feet lit up, and a layer of golden halo appeared on the Dragon Abyss Sword.

Fourth Soul Skill: Purification! Increases own attack power and armor penetration by 100%, and removes all Soul Skill effects.

Let's see if your defense is really that strong!

Under the influence of the domain, Ding Quan's perception was greatly enhanced, and he had complete control over everything within the domain. Although the domain only enhanced his strength by 10%, the biggest improvement was his control over his surroundings.

With 100% control over the surroundings, the increase in strength is not just as simple as 10%; it directly elevates one's strength to a new level.

This is also why domain skills are the rarest soul skills.

A golden sword aura instantly slashed towards the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, while at the same time, an arrow from the composite bow in Vera's hand flew out.

Awoo!

A piercing scream rang out. Under the suppression of the domain, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's reaction was slowed down considerably, and the sword energy struck its arm.

A line of blood appeared instantly, and at that moment, an arrow shot straight into the wound.

Upon seeing this, Ding Quan hurriedly withdrew his domain, then flew directly to Ling's side and took a deep breath.

After unleashing a series of soul skills and a domain, his soul power was starting to give out, and now he only had less than 30% of his original strength left.

Seeing the wound on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Ding Quan gained an understanding of his own strength.

I can almost be considered a super soul beast myself.

I don't know if I can fight someone with two spirit rings higher, but what about a Spirit King?

Ding Quan glanced at the roaring Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear before him. Could a Soul King handle it?

After a while, Ding Quan looked at Wei'er, who was absorbing a spirit ring, and the purple-black spirit ring landed on Wei'er's body.

The spirit rings produced by this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear are of such high quality!

Ding Quanjin's crimson eyes looked at the corpse of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and as expected.

Soul bones that appear when hunting Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bears, a palm bone appeared in Ding Quan's hand.

This external soul bone will not be absorbed along with the soul ring.

"It really is a metacarpal bone!"

"Leave it to Wei'er, it's not suitable for either of us." Ding Quan glanced at the palm bone, which was the most powerful right palm bone of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

While this palm bone is good, it's not quite suitable for wielding the Dragon Abyss Sword with my right hand.

Ding Quan was confident that his Dragon Abyss Sword was sharper than this palm bone.

Just as Ding Quan was quietly waiting for Wei'er to absorb the soul ring, a group of people walked out from inside the mixed zone in the distance.

Ding Quan was stunned when he saw this group of people. It was them? People from the Holy Dragon Sect.

I hoped it wouldn't come in my direction, but it seems things didn't go as I wished.

Watching the group of Soul Masters head towards the place where the group had hunted the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Ding Quan frowned deeply; this was bad!
