Chapter 42: Desperate Sky Azure Bull Python, Two Choices

"Sky Azure, Annihilation Thunder!!!"

At the moment Lu Yunzhou arrived at the Lake of Life, a massive bolt of lightning, as thick as an ancient tree trunk, shot out from the lake,

faster than the eye could see, and struck directly toward Lu Yunzhou.

The identity of the attacker was clear—it was none other than the hundred-thousand-year-old Soul Beast, the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Sensing the Sky Azure Bull Python's attack, the four Titled Douluo—Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long, and Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue—readied themselves to defend and counter.

However, just before they could act, Lu Yunzhou calmly spoke two words: "Stand down."

Though these words left Yu Long and the others puzzled, they obeyed without question.

In the next moment, the Sky Azure Bull Python's long-charged Annihilation Thunder struck Lu Yunzhou—not directly, but against his

protective barrier.

The power of this attack was immense, strong enough to take the life of any Titled Douluo with ease! After all, the Sky Azure Bull Python

had channeled this move for a long time.

Seeing his attack connect with Lu Yunzhou's barrier, the Sky Azure Bull Python smiled in satisfaction. It was confident that this strike

would pierce through the barrier and bring down those detestable humans from the sky.

Though it couldn't fully understand what this "Cloud Vessel" was or how it flew through the air like a bird, the Sky Azure Bull Python knew

that anything connected to humans was an enemy of Soul Beasts.

And for an enemy, there was only one option—obliteration.

The thunderbolt struck Lu Yunzhou's barrier, followed by an earth-shattering explosion that echoed across the sky, accompanied

by dense smoke that shrouded the scene. When the smoke finally cleared, the Sky Azure Bull Python was stunned to find that, contrary

to its expectations, the "Cloud Vessel" had not fallen. Instead, the barrier appeared even sturdier, more unbreakable.

The Sky Azure Bull Python was utterly bewildered. How could its trump card, its proudest, deadliest move, prove useless against this

seemingly ordinary "Cloud Vessel"?

As the Sky Azure Bull Python struggled to comprehend the situation, the four Titled Douluo—Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo,

Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long, and Porcupinefish Douluo Ci Xue—struck back.

In an instant, an intense battle erupted. Despite the Sky Azure Bull Python's strength and its status as one of the rulers of the Star Dou

Forest, facing four Titled Douluo simultaneously was too much, and the outcome was inevitable—defeat.

After a prolonged and fierce fight, the epic clash came to an end.

The Sky Azure Bull Python, now lying on the ground, severely wounded and gasping for breath, had no strength left to continue. With

no part of its body unscathed, it was powerless. Lu Yunzhou then took out a magical tool he had crafted—the Dragon-Binding Rope—and

bound the creature securely.

With a glance at the somewhat disheveled Titled Douluo around him, Lu Yunzhou casually tossed four fragrant, smooth pills toward them,

saying, "Soul Ascension Pills, as your reward."

Hearing this, Serpent Spear Douluo Yu Long was the first to recover from his shock and quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, Mr.

Lu, for bestowing us with this pill! Yu Long is endlessly grateful!"

Yu Long, who had personally witnessed the power of the Soul Ascension Pill, was ecstatic upon receiving it. His immediate reaction

was one of overwhelming gratitude.

Seeing Yu Long's response, Devil Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo quickly followed suit. "Thank you, Mr. Lu, for bestowing us with

this pill. We are endlessly grateful!"

Although Devil Bear Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo didn't fully understand the pill's effects, they knew it must be something

extraordinary. After all, nothing that Lu Yunzhou would give could be ordinary. Thus, they held the pill with great reverence, as did

Porcupinefish Douluo.

Observing Yu Long's eager, thrilled expression, Lu Yunzhou chuckled and said, "It's only a pill, Yu Long. No need for such formalities. If

there's no rush, why not take it now? I'll guard you while you refine it."

Yu Long instinctively blurted out, "Really?"

Immediately after speaking, he regretted it. He felt he might have taken Lu Yunzhou's offer too literally. After all, who was Lu Yunzhou?

A figure with power rivaling an entire nation! Even the Supreme Pontiff would hesitate to ask Lu Yunzhou to stand guard. So who was he, Yu

Long, to make such a request?

At that moment, Yu Long felt intense remorse, wishing he could take back his words.

But Lu Yunzhou only smiled. "The four of you can take it together. Go ahead and swallow the pills; I will guard you."

From the side, Qian Renxue added, "With Mr. Lu here, you may rest assured, elders."

Truth be told, Qian Renxue was eager to see the effect of the Soul Ascension Pill on Titled Douluo-level cultivators.

With both Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue's reassurances, Yu Long found himself without a way out. Taking a deep breath, he respectfully

replied, "Thank you, Mr. Lu, and thank you, Young Master."

After that, Yu Long swallowed the Soul Ascension Pill and began channeling his Soul Power to absorb the immense energy within the

pill.

Seeing this, Devil Bear Douluo, Ghost Leopard Douluo, and Porcupinefish Douluo did the same without hesitation.

Watching this scene, a thought flashed through the mind of the Sky Azure Bull Python—a final, desperate gamble. Facing certain death, if

it could take down even one of its enemies, it would not have died in vain.

Just as it gathered the last of its strength, ready to make one final strike, a powerful wave of danger washed over it. The source of this

overwhelming threat was none other than Lu Yunzhou.

In that instant, the Sky Azure Bull Python felt a terrifying aura from Lu Yunzhou, an aura that was far stronger than that of the four Titled

Douluo combined. True despair washed over it.

The Sky Azure Bull Python had thought that four Titled Douluo were formidable enough, but it never imagined that among the humans,

there was one who was even more powerful and unfathomable.

Completely drained of the will to resist, the Sky Azure Bull Python slowly closed its eyes, accepting its impending demise.

But then, Lu Yunzhou's voice rang out, calm and commanding.

"Little worm, I am merciful. Today, I'll give you two choices."
