At this very moment, the battle between Chu Yuan and Huyan Bo had indeed reached its most crucial point.


    Huyan Bo was in a deplorable state, his body covered in deep bloody marks, completely at a disadvantage against Chu Yuan.


    "I can''t keep fighting!"


    Huyan Bo''s heart trembled in fear.


    He didn''t know what tricks Chu Yuan had used to enhance his strength so impressively.


    But he knew that such enhancement couldn''t last forever. Once its effects wore off and he managed to recover, he would break Chu Yuan''s moves.


    Indeed, the Divine Power Experience Card only lasted half an hour.


    "Where do you think you''re running to?"


    With a single glance, Chu Yuan saw Huyan Bo attempting to flee. With a punch of Lightning Fist that shook the mountains and rivers, he repelled Huyan Bo.


    "Roc True Form!"


    The true form that revealed itself was a giant, golden-winged Roc. Its body glittered like gold, each feather sharp as a golden sword, unmatchably fierce.


    "I can escape, even if he''s several levels higher, he can''t catch up. The speed of the Roc clan is unparalleled in the world!"


    Whoosh! In an instant, the golden-winged Roc vanished before Chu Yuan.


    "Really?"


    A flash of momentary light, the speed unimaginable, like a shooting star, struck Huyan Bo in an instant.


    How great was the power of this momentary brilliance exhibited through Divine Power?


    "Damn it!"


    Huyan Bo immediately felt a wave of deadly crisis approaching. Despite his fast speed, he wasn''t as fast as the momentary flash. A shooting star punctured through his body, and his mighty Roc form fell from the sky.


    Thud!


    A vast sea area was stained red with blood.


    Huyan Bo had been pierced by the momentary brilliance and fell hard into the sea.


    "Ancestor... Ancestor was defeated!"


    "Impossible, how can the ancestor be defeated?"


    "I don''t believe... the ancestor could be defeated by Emperor Dawu!"


    The powerful beings of the golden-winged Roc clan were disoriented.


    "How can your attack be faster than my speed? No, I don''t believe it!"


    Huyan Bo was hit hard within. He struggled to burst from the sea.


    But immediately, a pair of legs, a person who could swallow mountains and rivers, with boundless domineering presence, stepped on his giant head, pushing him back into the sea with overwhelming pressure.


    But he was wrong.


    The power of the whip was like tossing him into boiling oil, frying him ten thousand times, throwing him onto a mountain of blades and rolling him down ten thousand times, tearing his body into pieces ten thousand times, and undergoing all the punishments of the eighteen levels of hell ten thousand times.


    The Soul Whip only brought endless agony.


    "Ah!"


    Hu Yanbo was indeed strong-willed, but he couldn''t bear this pain.


    A deep pain was emanating from the depths of his soul, like piercing through his bone marrow.


    Endless screams resonated as the whip continued to mercilessly strike him. The pain was more cruel than even the harshest hell punishment.


    Moreover, Hu Yanbo was firmly bound to the Wheel of Life and Death indeed, being whipped in front of everyone and unable to roll on the ground to alleviate the pain.


    This was truly terrifying. The powerhouses of the Golden Winged Eagle clan were shaking in fear as they saw their ancestor being whipped to this extent.


    At this moment, Hu Yanbo didn''t know how many times Chu Yuan had whipped him, how many times his soul had been torn apart. He wished he could die immediately if he were granted a wish, rather than continuing to be whipped.


    Often, it''s more painful to be alive but wishing to die.


    Shangguan Xian looked at Chu Yuan whipping Hu Yanbo, with an odd gleam in her eyes.


    Whether it was a hundred whips, a thousand, or ten thousand, Hu Yanbo had lost count. This relentless pain tore through his mind and he screamed out, "Stop, stop hitting me, I''m willing to surrender and serve you, I just ask that you stop the whipping!"


    However, Chu Yuan didn''t stop. This Hu Yanbo really needed more.


    Ah!


    Ah!


    Ah!


    Hu Yanbo kept screaming in agony. This emperor in front of him was the biggest devil. The biggest regret in his life was antagonizing Dawu and causing trouble for Chu Yuan.


    If the heavens could give him another chance, he definitely wouldn''t have come here.


    Chu Yuan''s face was emotionless. It seemed as if he hadn''t heard his pleas for mercy. After whipping him for about ten minutes, he finally stopped. He gazed indifferently at Hu Yanbo and said, "Will you surrender or continue to endure the pain from the whip?"


    "I surrender, don''t whip me anymore!"


    The golden-winged bird body trembled.


    He''d have rather died than submit, but Chu Yuan didn''t grant him death, torturing him in the most painful way instead. He couldn''t bear this tormenting pain, which was worse than death.


    "Good, surrender to me."


    Chu Yuan noticed that Hu Yanbo was genuinely afraid, and there would be a shadow in his soul whenever the Soul Whip was revealed in the future.


    "Hand over your Soul Origin," Chu Yuan said.


    "Take it, take everything!"


    Hu Yanbo handed over a golden Soul Origin.
