On the other side.
Accompanied by Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo, Yu Tianqing has already ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Young man Tianqing, you're looking for an 80,000-year-old soul beast."
"Even within this Star Dou Great Forest, it would be very difficult to find!"
Dugu Bo sighed.
Before Yu Tianqing could reply, Yu Yuanzhen rolled his eyes at Dugu Bo and said irritably:
"Old poisoner, we've only been searching for a short time, and you're already complaining?"
Dugu Bo was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said:
"Old Jade Dragon, please don't misunderstand."
"Tianqing has done a great favor for me and Yanyan, and I will always remember it."
"I'm just telling the truth."
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing, Yu Tianqing quickly interjected:
"Grandpa, Senior Dugu."
"Let's search further into the core area."
"We should be able to find a soul beast of the right age!"
Yu Yuanzhen and Dugu Bo had no objection to what Yu Tianqing said.
Next, the three continued their search deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.
The search took almost half a day.
Unfortunately, while we encountered quite a few soul beasts over 10,000 years old, we didn't encounter any soul beasts over 80,000 years old.
"It's really hard to find!"
"That kid Qing'er, he only has his fourth spirit ring, yet he wants to absorb a spirit ring of such a long lifespan."
"That's truly terrifying!"
Yu Yuanzhen looked at Yu Tianqing and was filled with emotion.
It should be noted that although he is a titled Douluo, all of his spirit rings starting from his fifth spirit ring are ten-thousand-year level spirit rings.
However, only the ninth spirit ring reached the level of 80,000 years or more.
Yu Tianqing, who only has his fourth soul ring, is already planning to absorb a soul ring with an 80,000-year lifespan.
It's unbelievable to even think about it.
"Qing'er will be the true dragon of my Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family in the future!"
Yu Yuanzhen sighed quietly, filled with anticipation for Yu Tianqing.
"Tianqing kid, does your fourth spirit ring really have to be at the 80,000-year level?"
Just then, Dugu Bo turned to look at Yu Tianqing and asked this question.
Yu Tianqing smiled slightly and replied:
"Senior Dugu, my third soul ring is a 60,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger."
"This fourth spirit ring can't be lower than this, right?"
Dugu Bo was stunned and speechless at what Yu Tianqing said.
"This kid is seriously freakish!"
"Looking at the entire world of Soul Masters, there's probably no one as monstrous as him, right?"
Dugu Bo sighed inwardly, recalling all the things about Yu Tianqing, and found it all unbelievable.
Just as the three were taking a break, a commotion suddenly came from the woods not far away.
"who?"
Yu Yuanzhen was the first to sense it, his gaze sharp as lightning as he stared straight at it.
Dugu Bo and Yu Tianqing also turned their gazes accordingly.
Two tall trees slowly parted to the sides, and then a huge figure silently emerged from within.
This behemoth was like a mountain.
Its entire body was covered in dark hair, which shimmered faintly in the sunlight.
In appearance, it does bear some resemblance to a chimpanzee.
In addition, its large eyes, like lanterns, shimmered with a yellowish luster.
Not only is it enormous, but every part of its body is covered with powerful muscles that are even more terrifying than granite, protruding like small hills.
"This...this is the King of the Forest, the Titan Ape?"
Dugu Bo exclaimed in surprise, his expression immediately becoming extremely serious.
It's important to know that the Titan Giant Ape is an absolute overlord in any Soul Beast Forest.
No spirit beast dared to offend it, because the inevitable result would be death.
Even a Titan Giant Ape that is only a hundred years old can compete with other soul beasts that are ten thousand years old.
They possess unparalleled strength and speed, and their attack and defense are virtually flawless.
What's most terrifying is that they can also unleash skills similar to soul techniques.
Even though they are both ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, their strengths are completely different, which is due to their inherent attributes.
The Titan Giant Ape is definitely one of the few soul beasts that stands at the very top of the pyramid among all soul beasts.
In addition, the Titan Ape is not only powerful, but also possesses intelligence comparable to that of humans.
In the forest, it is the absolute king.
"This terrifying aura is probably no less than 80,000 years old."
Yu Yuanzhen frowned, his expression somewhat grim.
Unexpectedly, before Yu Tianqing could find a suitable soul beast, he encountered a forest king of the overlord level!
"Um?"
"Could this guy be... Erming?"
Yu Tianqing glanced at the Titan Giant Ape standing not far away, which resembled a small mountain, and a thought came to his mind.
Just as Yu Tianqing had guessed.
The Titan Giant Ape before us is none other than Erming, the King of the Monks' Forest in the Star Dou Great Forest!
Amid the standoff, Dugu Bo spoke first:
"Your Majesty, King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending you."
"If this is your territory."
"We're willing to leave immediately!"
After Dugu Bo said this, Er Ming's large, lantern-like eyes lost some of their coldness, clearly indicating that he understood what Dugu Bo had said.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to look at Yu Yuanzhen.
Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
Yu Yuanzhen's eyes, fixed on Erming, were radiating a surging fighting spirit.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that this Jade Dragon has set its sights on the King of the Forest?"
Just as Dugu Bo was in a daze.
Yu Yuanzhen slowly walked out in front of him.
"The King of the Forest, is it? Your aura is very powerful."
Just as Dugu Bo had thought.
Yu Yuanzhen had indeed set his sights on the Titan Ape.
Upon hearing what Yu Yuanzhen said, Yu Tianqing felt a chill run down his spine.
"Grandpa wouldn't be thinking of having Erming become my fourth spirit ring, would he?"
"That makes sense, but Erming's strength is far beyond what ordinary soul beasts can match!"
Just as Yu Tianqing was lost in thought, the Titan Ape's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a fierce glint.
Yu Yuanzhen didn't care about this. With a thought, he directly summoned his own martial soul!
"Roar!"
With a deafening dragon roar, the Nine Heavens Thunder Dragon Martial Soul instantly merged with Yu Yuanzhen's Martial Soul.
Immediately following, nine spirits, two yellow, two purple, and five black, slowly rose from beneath Yu Yuanzhen's feet.
Seeing Yu Yuanzhen unleash his martial spirit, the Titan Giant Ape seemed to be enraged and let out a deafening roar.
The sound was so loud it stopped the clouds in their tracks!
"snort!"
Yu Yuanzhen snorted coldly, and the fourth soul ring surrounding him suddenly shone brightly.
Thunderstorm!
The next moment, Yu Yuanzhen directly unleashed his fourth soul skill.
"boom..."
Upon closer inspection, a large and dense barrage of lightning strikes erupted from Yu Yuanzhen's body, hurtling straight towards the Titan Ape.
Upon seeing this, the Titan Ape roared in fury.
Then, a layer of black energy burst forth from its body.
"Bang!"
In no time, the black shockwave collided with the raging lightning.
Upon impact, the thunderstorm unleashed by Yu Yuanzhen shattered into pieces, proving utterly ineffective.
