Chapter 190: The Mighty Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python
After the gathering at Shrek Academy, Tang San headed straight for the Star Dou Forest, primarily to find Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu, being a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast, resided in the core area of the Star Dou Forest, the Lake of Life. Tang San just needed to head towards the center of the forest, and he would naturally find Xiao Wu.
Due to various chain reactions, although Tang San's appearance had undergone some changes, it wasn't as dramatic as the second awakening of the Blue Silver Emperor from the original story, where his body and face underwent a complete transformation.
In fact, as Tang San made his way, he didn't encounter any members of the Wuhun Hall's Soul Hunting operation, let alone infiltrate their forces.
Tang San arrived at the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Forest without any obstruction, and after five years, he was overjoyed to reunite with Xiao Wu, embracing her with great happiness.
Tang San and Ghost Douluo crossed paths because of the changes in the Soul Hunting operation.
This time, the Wuhun Hall's Soul Hunting operation had undergone major changes, including the added plan to assassinate Prince Xue Bing.
After all, Xue Bing was the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, with strong guards around him, and he was located in the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
To eliminate Prince Xue Bing smoothly, Wuhun Hall specially arranged for Ghost Douluo to take action personally, and Ghost Douluo used a special poison from his Martial Soul that left no traces behind. At least, it would be impossible to deduce who the enemy was from the wounds.
Ghost Douluo himself was mysterious and elusive, appearing and disappearing like a ghost, making it easy for him to kill Prince Xue Bing under heavy protection, without leaving any clues.
When Ghost Douluo met up with Chrysanthemum Douluo at the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Forest, they had already missed meeting Tang San.
Additionally, Wuhun Hall suffered huge losses this time. The Saintess Hu Liena, along with Xie Yue and Yan, did not participate in the Star Dou Forest operation but instead stayed behind to comfort the severely wounded members. Wuhun Hall was now in a state of defeat, and their morale was extremely low.
As a result, only Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, along with twenty Soul Saints, were truly sent to capture Xiao Wu. This was indeed a formidable force.
However, in the vast Star Dou Forest, such strength was not much to speak of. There were countless Soul Beasts, especially many top-tier Soul Beasts. A regular 80,000-year-old Soul Beast had the fighting power of a Title Douluo, and a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast could even challenge an ordinary Title Douluo.
Though Yang Xiong's group had rushed to the Star Dou Forest, they were well-equipped.
They not only had the top-notch auxiliaries Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengyuan, but also Oscar, who was a support in the food system.
Before entering the Star Dou Forest, Yang Xiong had Oscar prepare various types of sausages. All non-Title Douluo members carried Flying Mushroom Sausages, and everyone also carried Super Recovery Pink Sausages.
This time, Yang Xiong planned to strike hard and cut off Wuhun Hall's arm, so he meticulously planned for all possible situations, aiming to bring out the full potential of his team.
When they reached the core area of the Star Dou Forest, Bai He had already returned after scouting the area. It seemed there was intense combat coming from the core.
Yang Xiong's group quickly moved forward, sneaking toward the source.
As they approached the Lake of Life, only about one kilometer away, they heard the terrifying sounds of battle.
They saw the Titan Giant Ape letting out a terrifying roar, shaking the ground as if it were about to crack.
On the shoulders of the Titan Giant Ape were two small figures — Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Normally, with Chrysanthemum Douluo's strength, it would be impossible to defeat both the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Blue Bull Python at the same time, but their goal wasn't to defeat these two 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts. The goal was Xiao Wu, who was on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.
Ghost Douluo became an extremely eerie figure, moving with lightning speed as he shouted.
"Chrysanthemum, hold off this big guy. I'll go capture the rabbit. If successful, I'll immediately retreat."
"Everyone else, stay where you are."
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo had worked together for decades, and their relationship was not only one of mutual trust but also familiarity.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's seventh Soul Ring flashed, and he activated his seventh Soul Skill — Martial Soul True Body.
The area around Chrysanthemum Douluo expanded rapidly, transforming into a towering Chrysanthemum that radiated endless golden light, shooting toward the Titan Giant Ape.
At the same time, countless petals flew out from the Chrysanthemum, each like a large blade, aiming to envelop the Titan Giant Ape, with a focus on attacking Tang San and Xiao Wu.
While the Titan Giant Ape had formidable defense, Tang San and Xiao Wu were only ordinary Soul Emperors, and Tang San was even just a quasi-Soul Emperor, making it impossible for them to block a Title Douluo's attack.
Ghost Douluo, moving like a ghost, darted toward Tang San and Xiao Wu on the Titan Giant Ape's shoulders.
Although the Titan Giant Ape was powerful and regarded Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack with disdain, it used its massive hands to block the attack, enduring the full force of it.
The Titan Giant Ape's defense was indeed terrifying. Even a Title Douluo couldn't easily break through.
But the petals seemed to be controlled, with many of them bypassing the Titan Giant Ape's defenses and heading straight for Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Ghost Douluo, moving at lightning speed, aimed to bypass the Titan Giant Ape's large body and head straight for Xiao Wu.
However, the Titan Giant Ape reacted incredibly fast. With a shake of its shoulder, Tang San and Xiao Wu leaped into the air.
At that moment, the Titan Giant Ape displayed its terrifying combat abilities, exploding with speed far beyond its size. It struck at Ghost Douluo, even disregarding Chrysanthemum Douluo's attack.
The Titan Giant Ape's massive hands radiated a terrifying force, as if the ground itself were being suppressed by gravity.
This was the Titan Giant Ape's talent: the Gravity Control Domain. In this attack, Ghost Douluo felt an immense pressure on his body, and his movements slowed drastically, with the surrounding space starting to distort.
The Titan Giant Ape was undoubtedly the strongest Soul Beast in the Star Dou Forest, with the bloodline of the Soul Beast race's strongest. This talent for gravity control was unmatched, even by most Title Douluos.
The Titan Giant Ape's defense and attack were impeccable, making it nearly invincible in the Star Dou Forest.
Meanwhile, Chrysanthemum Douluo's petals, although strong, couldn't cause any real harm to the Titan Giant Ape. The Titan Giant Ape's body, as tough as granite, withstood the full force of Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul True Body without flinching.
At that moment, the entire surface of the lake seemed to boil. A massive bull's head, over four meters tall, emerged from the water, and a huge tail swung toward Chrysanthemum Douluo, striking him with great force.
This was the Sky Blue Bull Python, which seemed to be getting angry.
Despite Chrysanthemum Douluo's Martial Soul True Body, the Sky Blue Bull Python emitted a terrifying lightning aura, especially from its tail, which struck like a bolt of lightning, causing the surrounding air to solidify.
With such a powerful blow, Chrysanthemum Douluo was sent flying.
The Sky Blue Bull Python was enormous, its head alone over four meters, with a body length of several dozen meters. It was enveloped in a blue light, crackling with lightning.
"Second, kill them all, leave no survivors."
Though the Sky Blue Bull Python's words were calm, its cold gaze seemed to turn the world around it into a greenish hue, slowing down everything within its domain.
Yang Xiong's group, watching from afar, felt the effects of the green light. Everything around them seemed to slow down considerably.
This was the Sky Blue Bull Python's Slow Domain, a pure control-type domain, seemingly stronger than the Titan Giant Ape's gravity control.
Yang Xiong and his group became extremely serious. These two 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts were far stronger than they had imagined.
Even Sword Douluo's eyes showed seriousness: "These two 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts are formidable, especially the Sky Blue Bull Python. Its power is likely not weaker than mine."
"Xiongzi, when do we strike? Aren't you worried that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo might be scared off by these two Soul Beasts?"
Yang Xiong smiled: "They're here on Bibi Dong's orders. They won't easily give up capturing Xiao Wu. Besides, it's still early. Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo haven't used their full strength yet."
"When the battle becomes intense, we'll execute our plan and eliminate them. No one can escape; otherwise, we'll have endless trouble."
Sword Douluo nodded: "This is something Wuhun Hall owes us, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. We will make them pay the price."
Yang Xiong seemed to think of something: "Sword Douluo, can you sense Tang Hao's presence nearby?"
"Tang San is Tang Hao's son. I don't believe Tang Hao would let his son come to the Star Dou Forest alone to hunt for a Soul Ring."
Sword Douluo observed carefully and then spoke: "I don't sense Tang Hao's presence. Normally, Tang Hao should be at level 95. If he were within a thousand meters, I would have sensed him."
Yang Xiong felt speechless upon hearing this. Tang Hao was being too careless, letting his son go to the Star Dou Forest alone to hunt for his sixth Soul Ring.
Normally, the sixth Soul Ring for a Soul Master would be around 20,000 years, especially in the Star Dou Forest. Didn't he fear his son encountering a high-level Soul Beast and losing his life?
