The reconnaissance team received incorrect information and launched an investigation in the wrong direction. Goron, unable to get a reply for a long time, could only wait in place with the main force.
Meanwhile, under Yu Xiaogang's command, the soul beasts bypassed cities and suddenly appeared outside Ice Peak City.
Looking at the hideous spiders, giant snakes, and centipedes, a city guard was so frightened that he dropped his weapon and screamed as he ran down the city wall.
A cold light flashed, and the supervising officer beheaded him with a sword, shouting, "Deserters will be executed!"
He held the bloody head, threatening other guards who were also trying to escape out of fear.
Just then, with a loud "boom," the heavy city gate flew high into the sky and crashed to the ground.
A huge figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust—an dark-golden giant bear.
The supervising officer immediately jumped on his horse and fled without looking back.
The guards scattered in all directions.
Centipedes, spiders, and giant snakes climbed the city walls and entered the city from all directions.
A low, hoarse voice spread with soul power: "Everyone stay at home and do not come out. They will not attack people casually."
Most soul masters still chose to escape. They would not rely on the mercy of soul beasts, while ordinary residents could only hide in their houses, trembling.
Listening to the sound of dozens of feet scraping the ground, the friction of scales, and the hissing of snake tongues on the streets, they silently prayed for the blessing of the Angel God in their hearts.
The obese king, protected by the royal guards, struggled to climb into a carriage.
"Your Majesty, take me with you!" A charming woman grabbed his sleeve.
"Get out!" The king forcefully shook off her arm, pushing her away. "Hurry, hurry, don't just stand there!"
He urged.
The carriage sped away, and the woman who had been pushed to the ground looked at the departing carriage, her eyes filled with despair and resentment.
The soul beasts had surrounded the palace. They wreaked havoc, killing anyone they saw.
The once flower-filled gardens were a mess, the magnificent dance floor was stained red with blood, the once elegant nobles became corpses, and the beautiful concubines turned into skeletons.
Yu Xiaogang, guarded by several bear-type soul beasts, strolled on the palace avenue, his expression calm, without joy or sorrow.
The giant Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear blocked the king's carriage, which had already reached the city gate. The guards who were fighting desperately with the soul beasts saw the giant bear, which exuded a tyrannical soul power fluctuation, and their eyes revealed despair.
They recognized the identity of the giant beast before them—the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear, Bear King, whose age far exceeded 100,000 years, reaching the level of a terrifying ferocious beast.
"Don't... don't kill me! I can give you anything you want!" The obese king begged for mercy, his face full of horror.
Bear King was too lazy to talk nonsense with this tiny human. He slapped down with his palm, turning him into mincemeat.
Roar! It let out a deafening roar, plunging the entire city into panic.
Just then, it suddenly stopped roaring, slowly turning its head to look aside.
On the roof, a young man was looking at it calmly.
A black classical robe, a matching pointed soft hat, and a crystal monocle on his right eye—all the iconic features indicated his identity: Amon.
Bear King did not rush up to slap him as usual. It felt a trace of threat from this Amon.
"The main body?" it said, both wary and excited.
"Guess," Amon pinched his monocle, a smile appearing on his face.
He waved his hand, and a circular light curtain spread out, enveloping the surroundings in a huge soul power barrier.
Bear King glanced at the spreading giant barrier, its expression grave. "So it is."
Amon stretched out his right hand, and illusory lines of fate appeared in his eyes. These lines were complex and intertwined, like a tangled ball of thread, but upon closer inspection, they seemed to be orderly like a spider web, presenting a certain regularity.
He found one of them, gently grabbed it, and, following the connection, locked the target of "stealing" onto an aggregate Amon, choosing the "Worm of Time" on the other party.
After obtaining his seventh soul ring, Amon could already steal concepts related to life, including martial souls. The essence of the "Worm of Time" was a split body of the martial soul.
Thus, the Amon in Ice Peak City, who was originally just a humanoid manifestation of a "Worm of Time," suddenly had hundreds of newly stolen "Worms of Time" in his body.
Then, he grabbed again, locking onto the Amon in Waterfall City who was in a martial soul fusion state with Lei Yin.
In the martial soul fusion state, Lei Yin, who was fused with him, was also considered part of Amon, and Amon's target of stealing this time was Lei Yin himself.
He "stole" Lei Yin whole!
His hair turned blue, his face became more delicate, but his temperament became even more sharp.
Lei Yin only felt that between a blink of an eye, the scenery in front of him had completely changed. Looking at the giant bear in front of him, he felt very lost.
"Mr. Amon?" he inquired in his heart.
"I've encountered an enemy. I'm asking you to come and help," Amon communicated with him through telepathy.
"That's Bear King, right? I understand," Lei Yin proactively submerged his consciousness to avoid interfering with Amon.
The "Worms of Time" in his body began to cast the stolen auxiliary soul skills one by one, and Amon's aura rose steadily, reaching a level close to Limit Douluo.
Bear King's eyes became more and more solemn. It launched the attack first, raising its right paw high and quickly slashing down from the upper right to the lower left.
The phantom of a huge dark-golden bear claw appeared in the air, revealing a sense of heaviness like the earth.
"Invincible Golden Body," "Immovable as a Mountain"...
Relying on these two stolen core skills, Amon raised his left arm and casually blocked the blow. Then, he turned into a bolt of lightning and teleported behind Bear King.
Bear King's keen combat intuition allowed it to turn around in the first instant. The raised bear claw collided with the slashing lightning sword, and soul power surged, stirring up gusts of wind.
In this collision of disparate sizes, it was Bear King who retreated. It retreated more than ten meters before stabilizing its body, while Amon remained motionless in place.
This was not because Amon's strength exceeded Bear King's. In a contest of pure brute force, even a Titled Douluo would probably be inferior to it, but Amon had been maintaining the effect of "Immovable as a Mountain," so unless he was willing, no attack could make him take a step back.
Bear King looked at Amon in surprise and suspicion, with a strong doubt in its eyes. It had actually been completely suppressed in a collision of strength!
Intense currents surged, accompanied by bursts of thunder, and iron essence spears wrapped in lightning floated behind Amon.
"Thunder Railgun!"
Bear King's face changed drastically. It raised its arms and crossed them in front of its body, and a dark-golden light rose on its body. A thick light curtain floated in front of it.
The spear shot out with a "bang," creating spider web-like cracks on the dark-golden light curtain.
Then came the second, the third...
More and more cracks appeared. By the fourth "Thunder Railgun," Bear King's defense finally shattered.
The fifth spear directly pierced its arms, nailing its two arms together.
Bear King endured the pain, biting the end of the spear with its teeth and pulling it out. Looking at the relaxed Amon, it had the intention of retreating.
It suddenly let out a roar, the roar turning into a concentrated sound wave, like a tornado lying on the ground, attacking Amon.
Wherever the sound wave passed, everything was shattered by the huge energy. The rock slabs that made up the street and the bricks that made up the houses were all turned into dust and flew away.
Amon chuckled, and after the soul power materialized, it condensed into a barrier in front of him. With his current soul power of up to level 99, the strength of the barrier far exceeded ordinary defensive skills, not to mention that Bear King did not exert too much force in this attack. After launching the sound wave attack, it turned around and ran.
After realizing that Amon's main body was more powerful than expected, it lost its fighting spirit and prepared to leave the light curtain that Amon had prepared in advance to block the outside world and notify Di Tian to come to support.
Streams of light emitting dazzling starlight submerged into Bear King's body.
In a trance, it felt something slippery like a python wrapped around its body.
After using "Parasitism" on Bear King and sending dozens of "Worms of Time" into the other party's body, Amon reached out and grabbed forward, stealing Bear King's thought of "escaping."
His mental power was not as strong as Bear King's, but the other party needed to deal with "Parasitism" with all its strength at this time, and the power used to resist the "Dream Stealer" was very weak, so Amon succeeded very easily.
The thoughts in Bear King's mind went blank, and its body stagnated, not knowing what to do.
In the instant before the other party's new thoughts were born and the body was stagnant, an iron essence spear wrapped in lightning appeared in Amon's hand.
He threw the spear forward.
"Thunder Railgun!"
This time, Amon poured a lot of soul power into it, and the power contained in the "Thunder Railgun" far exceeded before.
With a loud "bang," Bear King's chest exploded, bursting out a cloud of blood mist.
Suffering such a heavy blow, even with its tenacious vitality, it could only lie weakly on the ground.
Amon returned the thought of "escaping." Only then did Bear King realize what had happened. The look in its eyes was filled with hatred and fear.
Blood spilled from the corner of its mouth, and it gritted its teeth and said, "Don't be complacent. Di Tian will catch you sooner or later."
Amon smiled indifferently: "Do you even believe that yourself? Oh, right, the Myriad Demon King told me that you have another master? I wonder what kind of soul ring and soul bone she can provide?"
Myriad Demon King! Could that bastard have betrayed us? Bear King's eyes widened, and all sorts of thoughts flashed through its mind.
But soon, its thinking began to stagnate, losing its perception of the outside world, losing its ability to think, its eyes becoming dim, and its pupils losing focus.
The fleeting scene just now became gradually clearer. In a hazy space, Bear King watched as a man wearing a black robe, a pointed soft hat, and a monocle on his right eye wrapped around his body like a python, his head resting on his shoulder, close to its head.
It wanted to resist, but found that it couldn't move at all.
Taking advantage of Bear King's weakness, the "Worms of Time" that had been "parasitizing" seized the opportunity, controlled the other party's soul, and completed the "parasitism."
A white circle appeared on Bear King's right eye.
Amon raised his right hand, stroked his monocle, and said with a chuckle, "Welcome to the Amon family."
He immediately "stole" Bear King's injuries and stole the vitality of the surrounding soul beasts to counteract and neutralize them.
The huge bear body gradually shrank, eventually turning into a burly man with dark-golden skin. He reached out and plucked a monocle from the void, put it on his right eye, adjusted it to the most comfortable position, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
