Upon hearing this, the two were also filled with rage.
Those humans were going too far!
How could they do such a thing?
They were even more brutal and unreasonable than their soul beasts.
The Titan Giant Ape angrily pounded its chest, each massive fist accompanied by a whooshing sound.
It roared,"I'll smash them all into mincemeat!"
Its voice echoed like thunder through the forest, causing leaves to rustle down. Its eyes were bloodshot, the flames of anger seemingly about to burst forth, its massive body trembling slightly with rage.
The Azure Bull Python was relatively calmer, but its eyes were also filled with fury, its deep gaze seemingly capable of burning everything to ashes.
"The Spirit Hall's reckless actions will surely make them pay a heavy price."
Its voice was low and powerful, containing boundless anger and determination.
Every word was like a bombshell, showing its extreme dissatisfaction with the Spirit Hall's actions and its resolute desire for revenge.
At this moment, the ripples in the Lake of Life grew stronger, the water churning and surging with enormous waves.
The waves crashed against the shore, creating a deafening roar, as if the Lake of Life itself was howling in anger.
Xiong Jun stared intently at the lake, fine beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
"What's going on?
Even the Lake of Life can't save them?"
His voice was filled with anxiety and unease, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists.
After speaking, Xiong Jun told the two to be quiet, then looked at Bi Ji and asked with difficulty if the Crimson King still had a chance to survive.
Bi Ji's expression was grim, her eyes filled with helplessness and sorrow. She simply said,
"I'm still trying, but Qian Daoliu's attack was too powerful, a full-force attack from level 99..."
All the Beast Kings understood, and an atmosphere of sorrow began to spread.
This sorrow, like a thick layer of gloom, weighed heavily on everyone's hearts.
Xiong Jun's fists clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
"That damned Qian Daoliu!
I swear I will not be a beast again until I avenge this!"
His voice was filled with unwavering resolve, as if he had made an eternal vow.
Tears welled in the eyes of the Demon King.
"The Crimson King has always been valiant, yet he has met such a calamity."
His voice trembled, filled with admiration for the Crimson King and grief over the injustice of fate.
The other Beast Kings were also filled with grief and indignation, yet helpless.
Their expressions were pained and twisted, their hearts filled with hatred for the Spirit Hall, but they knew their powerlessness at this moment.
Just then, Qian Renshang, who had been silent all along, suddenly stirred.
He slowly opened his eyes, a trace of confusion in them, as if he had just woken from a nightmare.
"Where is this..."
Qian Renshang asked weakly, his voice hoarse and powerless, as if he had used up all his strength.
Xiong Jun quickly moved closer, his face full of concern,
"Boy, you're awake!
This is the Star Dou Great Forest, our home!"
Qian Renshang remembered what had happened before, his face instantly turning pale, as white as a sheet of paper, devoid of any color.
"Uncle Chi, he..."
His voice trembled, filled with deep fear and worry.
Bi Ji turned her head away, unable to answer.
Her eyes were filled with pain, her lips trembled slightly, as if she didn't even have the courage to speak the truth.
Qian Renshang's heart sank, as if a boulder had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
He struggled to get up,
"I need to see him."
His voice was firm and resolute, and despite his weakened state, his inner desire drove him forward.
Xiong Jun held him down,
"Don't move, your injuries haven't healed yet."
Xiong Jun's hand was like an iron clamp, tightly pressing down on Qian Renshang, his eyes filled with worry.
Qian Renshang gritted his teeth,
"I'm fine, let me go."
His eyes flashed with stubbornness and unyieldingness, as if no obstacle could stop him.
The beast kings hesitated, their eyes filled with contradiction and helplessness.
Qian Renshang's gaze slowly fell on the Lake of Life not far away, where a figure stood, a three-headed canine soul beast.
He should have been fierce, but now he was so calm.
Qian Renshang walked forward blankly, like a walking corpse.
His eyes were empty and lifeless, as if his soul had left his body.
Every step he took seemed so heavy, as if carrying endless pain and despair.
His steps were unsteady, as if he might fall at any moment, but he still walked resolutely toward the Red King.
The beast kings, seeing his state, felt a pang of pity.
Xiong Jun couldn't help but shout,
"Qian Renshang, you must pull yourself together!"
His voice echoed through the forest, but Qian Renshang seemed not to hear, continuing to walk mechanically forward.
Bi Ji softly said,
"Let him go. Perhaps this will make him feel better."
Her voice was gentle and sorrowful, filled with helplessness and sympathy.
Qian Renshang walked to the Lake of Life, slowly crouching down.
Looking at the calm surface, tears fell drop by drop, creating tiny ripples.
"Why? Why did this happen?"
He murmured, his voice filled with helplessness and confusion.
The tears flowed uncontrollably, like a flood bursting its banks.
Bi Ji explained, "The Crimson King's life force has been completely destroyed; there's no chance of survival.
Now, only a trace of life remains. It seems to be waiting for something."
Qian Renshang trembled, looking at Bi Ji in disbelief.
"How...how could this be?"
His voice trembled with despair, tears blurring his vision again.
His lips trembled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, only a painful whimper escaped his lips.
Xiong Jun gritted his teeth and said,
"It's all those bastards from the Spirit Hall's fault!"
His voice was filled with anger and hatred, as if he wanted to tear everyone from the Spirit Hall to shreds.
The Azure Bull Python sighed deeply,
"But what's the use of saying all this now?"
Its voice was filled with helplessness and sorrow, the sigh seeming like a helpless surrender to fate.
Qian Renshang slowly walked to the Crimson King, squatted down, and gently grasped one of the Crimson King's paws.
His hand trembled, as if that paw weighed a ton.
Qian Renshang, as if driven mad, cried out,
"That's right... there's also the Soul Spirit!
The Soul Spirit Technique can allow Uncle Chi to live intelligently, it's about the Soul Spirit!"
"Soul Spirit!"
With that, Qian Renshang immediately released his Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul, attempting to guide the Crimson King to become his Soul Spirit, but to no avail.
Completely useless, the Crimson King showed no reaction whatsoever... Qian Daoliu's attack had even destroyed its spiritual sea; its soul was incomplete, how could it possibly become a Soul Spirit?
Despair and pain were etched on Qian Renshang's face.
He tried again, unwilling to give up, but the result was the same.
"Why? Why is this happening?"
Qian Renshang roared to the sky, his voice filled with grief and indignation.
His voice echoed through the forest, startling a flock of birds.
Several Beast Kings watched from the side, their hearts aching.
Xiong Jun stepped forward and patted Qian Renshang's shoulder,
"Don't push yourself too hard. Perhaps this is the Crimson King's fate."
His voice was filled with helplessness and sympathy.
Qian Renshang abruptly shook off Xiong Jun's hand.
"No, I don't believe it! It can definitely be done!"
