Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

At the same time, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear swung its two ferocious giant claws, aiming straight at Poison Must Die.

Its one-meter-long bear claws were already quite exaggerated, but with a swing, they tripled in length in mid-air, reaching three meters in length. The terrifying claws gleamed with dark golden light, tearing through the air as they slashed towards Poisonous Death.

Its formidable destructive power leaves no doubt that even ordinary titled Douluo would find it difficult to withstand head-on.

Unfortunately, he encountered a deadly poison. Let alone a ten-thousand-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, even the four-hundred-and-seven-hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Emperor—Bear Lord—is only equivalent to a level ninety-seven titled Douluo, with attack power comparable to a level ninety-eight titled Douluo.

Poison Must Die is a level 99 Limit Douluo.

Seeing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's claws coming at him, Poisonous Death's eyes narrowed, a flash of emerald light appeared, and his aura exploded. The air around him stopped flowing, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear seemed to have been paused, frozen in place. Its terrifying claws remained suspended in mid-air, maintaining its attack posture, but it did not move at all, making the scene extremely bizarre.

After suppressing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Poisonous Death extended his right hand and gently slammed it into the bear's head, causing the bear to be slammed into the ground, its lower limbs completely embedded in the earth.

At the same time, with a series of cracking sounds, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's entire skeleton was shattered into pieces.

"Aotian, come on!" Du Bisi turned and called out to Long Aotian.

Long Aotian ran a few steps and rushed to the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's side, saying to Poison Must Die, "Thank you, Master!"

Then he took out the Devouring Blade and stabbed it into the mouth of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

A moment later, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's neck tilted to the side, and it completely lost its breath. A black spirit ring radiating a powerful aura appeared around it.

Long Aotian sat down on the spot and began absorbing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Soul Ring.

The power of a ten-thousand-year soul ring far surpasses that of a thousand-year soul ring. Even though the ten-thousand-year age of this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is only a little over two thousand years different from the seven thousand nine hundred years of Long Aotian's second soul ring, the Golden Armored Dragon.

However, the difference in time span of over two thousand years is qualitative.

As soon as the ten-thousand-year soul ring entered his body, Long Aotian felt the light around him dim, as if he had been submerged in an endless purgatory.

This is no exaggeration. The energy from the ten-thousand-year soul ring filled every corner of Long Aotian's body almost instantly. Without Long Aotian even needing to guide it, the massive energy was already forcibly circulating within him.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's spirit ring was not only powerful but also filled with a sharp aura, as if it wanted to tear Long Aotian's body apart.

Long Aotian's spirit was continuously tormented by this tearing feeling, and the pain was unbearable.

The two purple soul rings that were originally on his body also surged spontaneously, moving up and down at an astonishing speed, helping Long Aotian share the pressure.

Even though Long Aotian had made preparations long ago, facing the soul ring of the ten-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur was still like a small boat struggling against the raging waves of the ocean.

Long Aotian, on the other hand, is the boatman who controls the small boat, and he must hold on no matter how big the wind and waves are.

Long Aotian's flesh and meridians had been stretched to an extremely terrifying degree by the violent soul ring energy, and the pain had reached an unprecedented level.

However, no amount of pain could shake Long Aotian's unwavering determination to become stronger.

If we hold firm, there will be a way.

Finally, the pain began to decline from its peak.

The power surging from the black ten-thousand-year soul ring was slowly absorbed by Long Aotian, and the small boat on the sea became more and more stable.

The original soul power within Long Aotian's body and the soul power of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Soul Ring gradually merged together, becoming indistinguishable.

The pain gradually subsided, and the feeling of relaxation made Long Aotian's tired spirit feel sleepy.

Just then, in Long Aotian's consciousness, a dark golden phantom roared and charged towards Long Aotian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Long Aotian was suddenly jolted awake from his drowsiness; this was the mental shock caused by absorbing the ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Long Aotian immediately perked up, his eyes flashing with a purple light. Then, the purple light, like a sharp thorn, pierced towards the dark golden phantom in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The moment the purple light touched the dark golden phantom, it shattered like a mirror, and the dark golden phantom broke apart in Long Aotian's sea of ​​consciousness.

Although the Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear possesses physical strength comparable to a Title Douluo, it is not adept at mental power. The mental shock of this spirit ring is only at the level of an ordinary ten-thousand-year spirit beast.

After consuming the Dew of Longing for Autumn Water, Long Aotian's mental strength was comparable to that of a Soul Saint, and its quality far surpassed that of the Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. He shattered the soul shock simply by mobilizing the power of the Purple Extreme Demon Eye.

Having resolved the soul tremor and with the absorption of the soul ring nearing its end, Long Aotian gradually calmed down.

While Long Aotian absorbed the soul ring, Long Yuanba, Ao Yumou, and Vina closely protected him.

Poisonous Death wasn't idle either; he reached out and touched the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, and after a short while, a hint of excitement appeared on his face.

He raised his palm like a knife, severing the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's left paw, and dissected it in a few swift movements, revealing a strange bone.

The bone was dark gold in color and emitted a strong fluctuation of soul power, clearly indicating that it was a soul bone.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has a powerful bloodline and is relatively easy to produce soul bones. Due to the strength of its arms, it usually produces left and right arm bones. However, this soul bone is different from the traditional arm bone and is a left palm bone.

This left metacarpal bone is about the size of a human hand, but five long, narrow blades have appeared at the front end, like a miniature version of the claws of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. A dark gold halo flows over the blades, giving it the feel of a divine weapon.

"Aotian's luck is truly extraordinary. Others are already considered incredibly fortunate to obtain even one external soul bone, but Aotian, who already possesses six external soul bones, has now obtained a left arm bone. His luck is truly exceptional," Du Bisi exclaimed.

Long Yuanba, Ao Yumou, and Vina were genuinely happy for Long Aotian.

Finally, Long Aotian fully absorbed the power of the ten-thousand-year-old dark gold dinosaur claw bear soul ring and opened his eyes.

Long Aotian stretched his body forcefully, and a powerful force instantly filled his entire body; the feeling was simply wonderful.

The journey from a second-ring Great Soul Master to a third-ring Soul Venerable is a significant hurdle for any Soul Master, and many Soul Masters may never reach the Soul Venerable level in their entire lives.

I'd like to specifically name that infamous, utterly useless pastry chef. Without the Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, he would have only ever farted twice in his entire life.

At this time, Long Aotian had just become a Soul Master. He was only ten years old, and his talent was enough to make countless geniuses take notice. He could be called a peerless genius.
