Chapter 63: Challenging the Guardian
Gu Yue wanted to fight alongside Liu Yixuan, but Tang Wulin felt that he had not reached his limit yet and wanted to take advantage of the great opportunity of the riot period to continue absorbing the spiritual power of soul beasts and strive to upgrade his soul to the thousand-year level.

The three of them strolled towards the depths of the forest. Tang Wulin walked in front to lead the way, while Liu Yixuan and Gu Yue followed behind shoulder to shoulder.

Gu Yue glanced at Liu Yixuan and said, "Yixuan, where are you going next?"

Liu Yixuan said: "I heard that there is a guardian in the deepest part of the Ascension Platform. I want to go there and take a look."

Hearing this, Tang Wulin looked confused: "What is a guardian?"

Gu Yue's eyes flashed, and he explained: "Whether it is a primary, intermediate or advanced soul-raising platform, there are guardians. All soul-raising platforms are actually a whole, and this whole is divided into these three levels. Enter through different ways. In order to block them and make it difficult for soul masters to enter higher-level soul-raising platforms from low-level soul-raising platforms, there must be a force responsible for monitoring and guarding. In the world of the soul-raising platform, the only ones responsible for guarding are soul beasts, especially powerful soul beasts."

"Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for a soul master below the third ring to defeat this soul beast."

As he spoke, Gu Yue looked at Liu Yixuan with a strange expression, as if he was looking at a monster.

An ordinary three-ring soul master, even one at the peak of the three rings, would be torn to pieces if he encountered a dark gold terror claw bear, but Liu Yixuan...

"You want the guardian's soul bone?"

Hearing this, Liu Yixuan nodded and said with a smile: "That's right."

"I have figured it out. The guardian of the primary spirit-raising platform of the East Sea Spirit Pagoda is the dark gold terror-claw bear I encountered last time."

"I am quite confident in dealing with this guy."

"Soul bone?"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin's eyes flashed with shock.

He looked at Gu Yue in surprise and asked, "How do you know so much?"

Gu Yue said: "Because I am also a disciple of the Spiritual Pagoda like Liu Yixuan."

"So this is ah!"

Hearing this, Tang Wulin was slightly surprised. He didn't expect Gu Yue to join the Spirit Pagoda.

"Isn't the Soul Ascension Platform virtual? Even if that Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has soul bones, we can't absorb them, right?"

Gu Yue glanced at Tang Wulin, shook her head, and said, "The Soul Ascension Platform is not an absolute illusory world, but a world between illusion and reality. Among them, the primary Soul Ascension Platform is undoubtedly the most illusory, but it also has real things. Otherwise, how can we absorb the spiritual power in it?"

Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Gu Yue is right. There are many real parts in the primary soul-raising platform. The guardian's soul bone is the real part of the soul-raising platform. It is also the source of the guardian's power."

"We won't get any spiritual power reward for killing the guardian, but we can get soul bones."

"Oh!"

After hearing this, Tang Wulin understood and felt his eyes were opened.

Then, another question popped up in his mind: "Soul bones are so precious, will the Spirit Pagoda let us take them out?"

There are six major categories of soul bones, namely left leg bone, right leg bone, left arm bone, right arm bone, skull and torso bone. The strongest of them is torso bone, followed by skull, then right arm, left arm, left leg and right leg. Soul bones produced by soul beasts of ten thousand years or less only come with one skill, while soul bones produced by soul beasts of one hundred thousand years must come with at least two skills. Once a soul bone is absorbed, it cannot be separated from the body unless the owner is killed, then the soul bone will automatically fall off and become ownerless. However, the first four soul bones are exceptions. When the owner reaches the level of Titled Douluo, he can cut off his limbs with soul bones and forcibly remove the soul bones at the cost of reducing his own soul power by 10 levels.

Any soul bone is a very precious and priceless treasure.

Because the probability of soul bones appearing in soul beasts is extremely low, probably only one in a thousand, or even lower.

Soul bones usually come from soul beasts and have a function similar to that of soul rings. They can provide soul masters with soul skills but will not occupy the soul master's soul ring slots. Therefore, they have been the dream of all soul masters in ancient times.

In modern times, because the soul beasts that can produce soul bones are on the verge of extinction, the value of soul bones has increased significantly and become more precious.

Hearing Tang Wulin's words, Liu Yixuan looked at Tang Wulin speechlessly and said, "Of course it wouldn't work if it was you, but if it was me, there would be no problem."

"Have you forgotten that I am a core disciple of the Spirit Pagoda?"

With his status, it would not be a problem for him to get the reward for killing the guardian. This was originally a hidden benefit provided by the Spirit Pagoda to these geniuses.

Even if a general genius managed to kill the guardian by chance, he would miss out on the soul bone because he was unaware of the situation, or he would not be able to absorb the guardian's soul bone due to temporary operations of the staff.

Hearing this, Tang Wulin opened his mouth, then looked at Liu Yixuan with an envious expression: "The benefits of your Spirit Pagoda are too good!"

That's a soul bone!

The Spirit Pagoda is actually willing to give such precious things as rewards to its disciples. How generous!

It is worthy of being called the Spiritual Tower which is rich enough to rival a country!
It is worthy of being the number one organization in the mainland!

With his thoughts racing, Tang Wulin began to regret having joined the Tang Sect too early.

Of course, this thought only appeared for a moment and was suppressed by Tang Wulin the next moment.

No matter what, Wu Changkong treated him very well, and Tang Sect was the organization he had been looking forward to since he was a child. Betraying Tang Sect was not even within his consideration.

The three of them followed the path opened by Tang Wulin into the depths of the forest. They encountered fewer and fewer soul beasts, but the individual strength of the soul beasts was getting stronger and stronger.

The trees were green, the grass was lush, and the vegetation was getting denser and denser, blocking out the sunlight. Tall trees rose from the ground, with branches and leaves spreading out, blocking out the sun and making the forest even darker. Dragon-like vines were winding across the land, and all kinds of exotic flowers and plants were blooming.

The fresh air mixed with the moisture of the forest and the fragrance of the earth gives people a chilly feeling.

After Liu Yixuan and the other two entered the depths of the forest, they never encountered another soul beast.

The temperature around was very low. Liu Yixuan and Tang Wulin were strong and didn't feel anything, but Gu Yue couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing this, Liu Yixuan immediately took off his coat, put it on Gu Yue, and asked with concern: "Gu Yue, are you okay? If you are not feeling well, you can leave the Spirit Ascension Platform first, and don't force yourself."

Hearing this, Gu Yue felt warm in her heart, tightened her coat, and said goodbye to Liu Yixuan, feeling shy inside, but with a calm face, "I'm not that fragile."

"OK then."

Hearing this, Liu Yixuan had to give up the idea of ​​letting Gu Yue leave.

He didn't just do nothing. He just held Gu Yue's hand and transferred his energy and blood into her body.

Soon, Gu Yue felt a warm current flowing into his body, and his limbs immediately became warm.

Liu Yixuan beside him was like a furnace, the hot breath spreading from him made Gu Yue a little intoxicated.

Watching Liu Yixuan and Gu Yue showing off their love, Tang Wulin was stunned and felt uncomfortable.

He suddenly regretted not following Xie Xie and the others to leave the Spirit Ascension Platform.

Suddenly, Tang Wulin sensed something. His eyes focused and he looked in one direction. He shouted, "What is that? Come out!"

Liu Yixuan and Gu Yue also looked towards the bushes and launched an attack.

A sword energy and a fireball flew out at the same time and instantly hit a shadow, but did not cause any damage to the opponent. Instead, it directly disintegrated in the air.

The next moment, a majestic figure walked out from the shadowy trees. Seeing it, Tang Wulin instantly took a breath of cold air, and a pair of heavy silver forging hammers were in his hands, and his body trembled slightly.

The tall and majestic figure was over three meters tall, covered with dark golden hair, and his eyes were emotionless, full of indifference and cruelty. His arms were particularly huge and strong, and his two front claws were dark golden blades, more than one meter long. When his thick arms were spread out, the claws just followed his body through the air, making a slight "hissing" sound.

Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
When they saw this soul beast, Liu Yixuan, Gu Yue and Tang Wulin exclaimed in their hearts and recognized each other at the first moment.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear in front of them was actually the hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear that they had fought three months ago, and was also the guardian of the primary spirit-raising platform.

Its strength is terrifying, and its powerful dark gold claws can destroy the heavens and the earth. Even those thousand-year-old soul beasts with stronger cultivation bases would be terrified. Whether it is attack, defense or speed, it is extremely powerful. It is terrifying in close combat and has super explosive power in long-range combat.

Among all the top soul beasts, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear has always been among the best.

This is a terrifying soul beast that can compete with a real dragon.

But Liu Yixuan looked at the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear without any fear in his eyes. Instead, he seemed eager to try.

After his strength increased, he has never used his full strength yet. Now he is trying out his skills on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stared at them with its cold eyes, and red gradually appeared in the depths of its pupils, revealing a bloodthirsty light. It walked towards them step by step, and its dark gold hair seemed to be flickering.

It also recognized Liu Yixuan, and a hint of surprise flashed in its eyes, but there was no fear at all.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear rushed towards Liu Yixuan in front of it.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yue immediately launched an attack. The two soul rings on her body flickered, and her hands danced rapidly in the air. Fist-sized fireballs flew out and landed on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, but they had no effect at all and were directly destroyed by the dark gold soul power light on the opponent's body.

Seeing this, Gu Yue was slightly shocked and immediately changed his strategy.

A yellow light flew out from Gu Yue's hand and landed in front of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. The land immediately turned into a swamp.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear stepped into it, its body sank, and its front limbs immediately sank into the swamp, and its speed slowed down.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yixuan rushed over quickly. As he moved forward, his blood and energy circulated, his momentum rose, and a dazzling golden light burst out from his whole body.

The divine golden body!

A terrifying aura rose from Liu Yixuan, and the air around him instantly became solidified.

Feeling the increasing threat from Liu Yixuan, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was startled and immediately released its soul power to break free from the swamp.

At this time, Liu Yixuan rushed over, kicked his legs, leaped up like lightning, clenched his right fist, and punched out fiercely.

Following a sharp whistle, Liu Yixuan's fist pierced the sky like a cannonball and slammed into the nose of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.

Seeing this, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear roared angrily, and an extremely strong dark yellow halo burst out from its body.

It subconsciously raised its huge bear paw to cover its face.

The next moment, there was a crisp sound, and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear shook all over. Its huge body actually flew out directly until it smashed a big tree, and then it stopped.

Liu Yixuan fell from the air without suffering any harm.

His energy and strength were too strong, far beyond what they were three months ago, but this hundred-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear had not improved.

Therefore, once they collide, the opponent will be at an absolute disadvantage.

Looking at this scene, Tang Wulin and Gu Yue opened their mouths, quite surprised.

They didn't expect Liu Yixuan to be so powerful.

Outside the Spirit Ascension Platform, Wu Zhangkong and the staff were also stunned when they saw Liu Yixuan's performance.

Especially the staff, their eyes were filled with disbelief for a moment.

That is the guardian of the primary spirit-raising platform—the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!
It should be possible for any soul master below the third ring to defeat it.

But now Liu Yixuan was fighting back head-on, which was simply unbelievable.

On the other side, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear climbed up from the ground with a dazed mind.

Soon, it realized what had happened and immediately let out an angry roar at Liu Yixuan.

"Roar!"

With a roar, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear exerted its strength and turned into a shadow to pounce on Liu Yixuan. At the same time, its right claw swung out violently, and a dark gold light and shadow claw over five meters long fell from the sky and hit Liu Yixuan on the head.

Dark gold terror claw!

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's ultimate move is also the confidence it has to fight against the dragon.

Faced with the even more powerful Liu Yixuan, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear no longer held back and directly mobilized its soul power with all its strength, sending out the Dark Gold Terror Claws.

Looking at this scene, Liu Yixuan's expression remained unchanged, thinking: Good thing you came!
He circulated the energy and blood throughout his body, clenched his right fist, and punched out violently.

Mountain-breaking Fist!
Powerful energy and blood poured out from Liu Yixuan like a torrent, transforming into a huge golden fist shadow that cut through the sky.

At this moment, the air within a radius of ten meters seemed to solidify, and the vitality of heaven and earth gathered, making the momentum of the golden fist shadow become extremely terrifying.

At this moment, whether it was the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Gu Yue, or Tang Wulin, they all felt a chill running down their bones.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the five claw shadows of the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear were instantly shattered, and the golden fist shadow cut through the sky and slammed heavily on the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear.

As the sound of bones breaking rang out, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's body flew out like a cannonball, smashing more than a dozen large trees before stopping.

It lay on the ground, blood gushing from its mouth, its whole body in pain, its internal organs burning, and it let out a low roar of agony.

After being hit with all its strength by Liu Yixuan, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was severely injured and lay on the ground, dying, losing the ability to resist.

Seeing this scene, Gu Yue and Tang Wulin, who were about to help Liu Yixuan, were stunned.

I didn't expect that the battle was over in such a short time.

Liu Yixuan actually killed the guardian of the primary spirit-raising platform, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, by himself.

Tang Wulin looked at Liu Yixuan as if he were a monster, and said with emotion: "Boss, how did you suddenly become so strong?"
