Courtyard House: My Time Travel is a Bit Too Strong

Qiao Jingjing's expression turned serious, and her voice tightened slightly: "Husband, be careful! It withstood a direct piercing of my divine sense, only its sea of ​​consciousness rippled slightly, and it was completely unharmed!"

Previously, the ten-thousand-year-old or even fifty-thousand-year-old soul beasts that Lin Quan had obtained either had their souls scattered on the spot or collapsed like mud when they encountered her mental attack, and had no power to fight back.

But this 200,000-year-old giant octopus, after being hit, only swayed for a moment—and within a few breaths, it completely regained its composure, ready to launch a counterattack!

Swish!Swish!Swish!

Before the words were even finished, the sea suddenly cracked open!

A colossal black shadow, obscuring the sky, burst through the waves and soared into the air. Several gnarled and ferocious tentacles tore through the water's surface, howling and carrying a stench as they hurtled towards us!

Rumbling--

Wherever the tentacles passed, the sea roared and surged, transforming into several roaring water dragons, carrying immense power, rushing straight at the two of them!

"snort!"

Before Lin Quan could raise his hand, Qiao Jingjing gave a cold shout.

Swish-!

A powerful and vast, yet sharp and razor-sharp, spiritual torrent surged forth from between her brows!

Under Qiao Jingjing's mental force field, the wildly sweeping tentacles were actually pinned in mid-air, shattering, twisting, and bouncing away inch by inch! Boom—

Just as the giant octopus was about to contract and gather its strength, Lin Quan struck first.

With a sudden thought, the source of lightning within his body exploded, a deafening roar tearing through the sea breeze, and rolling thunder surged and erupted from his body!

Golden light like a knife, green wood like a whip, black water like a chain, red fire like a blade, thick earth like a mountain—the five elements of thunder took shape in an instant, transforming into five-colored electric dragons, cleaving through the air and simultaneously bombarding the enormous shadow on the sea!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In an instant, hundreds of meters of sea were engulfed by lightning. Electric snakes darted about, thunderclouds surged, and the entire sea surface boiled as if being cooked, transforming into a roaring hell of thunder!

Roar—roar—roar—

The giant octopus convulsed violently in the sea of ​​lightning, its eight tentacles thrashing, its body spasming, emitting heart-wrenching screams. It wasn't fear of pain, but a tremor deep within its very bones—the instinctive terror of a soul beast against lightning was etched into its very blood!

Even ferocious soul beasts that have lived for over two hundred thousand years cannot escape this natural enemy-like suppression.

In this world, apart from a very few lightning-attribute variants, all other soul beasts regard lightning as calamity, disaster, and the whispers of death. Especially those ancient monsters over 100,000 years old who have withstood heavenly lightning tempering are terrified of thunder and tremble at the sight of lightning!

Ordinary lightning techniques can be withstood, but the Five Elements Lightning in Lin Quan's palm—though far inferior to the legendary Five Elements Divine Lightning that could destroy the world—had quietly condensed a trace of divine lightning essence! Its power was almost comparable to the most ferocious Ninefold Lightning Tribulation on the Martial Soul Continent!

With a flick of his sleeve, a five-colored thunder tide surged forth, overwhelming the giant octopus. It only lasted three breaths before its shell cracked inch by inch, its black blood steamed, its flesh charred, and its entire body peeled off like charcoal!

"roar--!!!"

A desperate counterattack, its ferocity fully unleashed!

It roared angrily, and the surrounding seawater suddenly boiled. The sea surface, thousands of meters high, instantly rose into the sky. Giant waves tens of meters high, carrying the force of a thousand pounds, wrapped with ice shards and whirlpools, crashed down on Lin Quan and the other person!

"snort."

Qiao Jingjing slightly raised her cold eyes, and her spiritual power unfolded like an invisible iron wall. The towering wave crashed into that transparent barrier, and suddenly it was suspended in mid-air, dissipated, and rolled back!

In the instant the waves burst open, Lin Quan flicked his fingertip—a dark blue arc of electricity shot out and silently disappeared into the sea!

Sizzle... sizzle... sizzle...

The entire sea area was instantly illuminated by a spiderweb-like blue light, and where the water surged, lightning patterns moved like living things!

This is precisely the true meaning of water and thunder in the Five Elements of Thunder—using water to guide thunder and borrowing the power of the sea!

This attack drained nearly 10% of his true energy and pushed the power of the water and mines to its current limit!

Sizzle—!

Lightning bolts pierced the octopus's body like poisonous vines. Its massive body stiffened abruptly, its eight tentacles convulsed, its eyes bulged, and even its mournful cries were stuck in its throat. It became completely limp as mud!

Without saying a word, Qiao Jingjing shot out like an arrow and instantly stood atop the octopus's head!

"cut!"

With a clear shout, the spiritual blade solidified into a tangible form, tearing through the air and piercing straight into his skull!

puff--!

An invisible blade pierced through his brain, and crimson brain matter mixed with ink splattered like rain!

Nine hundred-meter-long tentacles thrashed, stretched, and trembled wildly for nearly half a minute before crashing down, causing the sea surface to tremble violently.

Immediately afterwards, a scarlet soul ring slowly rose and floated above the corpse.

Upon closer inspection, two gleaming golden patterns were clearly visible coiled around the ring—

Each golden line represents a hundred thousand years of life and death tempering;

These two marks are irrefutable evidence of a ferocious beast that has existed for two hundred thousand years!

Once the million-year threshold is crossed, the spirit ring completely transforms into a pure, gilded color!

Swah——

The moment the spirit ring was formed, Qiao Jingjing and Lin Quan's eyes met, and they both breathed a sigh of relief, their pent-up emotions vanishing.

A thousand meters away, Wang Yuyan had already arrived with Fu Qingfeng and Zhu Zhuyu, landing steadily beside them.

Before Qiao Jingjing could speak, Lin Quan said loudly:

"Jingjing, just focus on refining the soul ring; we'll protect you!"

Before she finished speaking, Qiao Jingjing nodded in agreement without any hesitation.

She lowered her body, sat cross-legged on the giant octopus corpse, formed a hand seal, and slowly lowered the scarlet, flame-like soul ring.

As soon as the soul ring was attached to her back, her aura rippled slightly, as if there were undercurrents flowing; but in just a few dozen breaths, the fluctuations subsided completely, and there was no longer any abnormality.

Lin Quan then turned his gaze away and instead looked at the enormous octopus remains.

His gaze shifted, and he softly called out to Wang Yuyan, "Yuyan."

"Um."

Wang Yuyan nodded in response, her divine senses flashing like lightning—

Swish!

In an instant, her spiritual power burst forth from her body, penetrating the octopus's skull cavity, from which she then produced a translucent, deep blue skull!

A head bone with a soul bone over 200,000 years old!

Its entire body resembles a piece sculpted from deep-sea crystal, with a complete outline, clear brow bones, deep-set eyes, and a cold, restrained luster...

"The head of a two-hundred-thousand-year-old spiritual beast!"

"If thrown into the mainland, it would likely unleash a bloodbath and a frenzy of fighting among heroes in an instant!"

Lin Quan held the bone in his hand, his gaze sweeping over the women beside him, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Let alone 200,000 years, even 100,000 or 50,000 years of soul bones are extremely rare in the world of martial souls. Once they appear, they will surely attract powerful forces from all sides to come out in droves and fight to the death.

But this group of people treats such treasures like ordinary objects, not even bothering to look at them.

If it weren't for the fact that the bones were so tough to chew and stew, Lin Quan would probably have seriously considered whether the soup made from these bones would actually be any good.

After a moment of quiet contemplation, he glanced at Zhu Zhuyu's face.

With a slight thought and a light swipe of the fingertip, the dark blue skull silently disappeared into the mirror space.

As expected, all the soul bones in his possession will eventually end up in the hands of the Zhu Zhuyu and Zhu Zhuyun sisters.

For Lin Quan and his group, the soul bone was not only useless, but also a burden—they followed the path of pure martial arts, and their mixed soul power was actually an obstacle.
