Chapter 110 Star Dou Crisis, Di Tian Appears, Xuan Zi: You Killed My People, and You Still Want Me to Play the Grandson?
Deepest within the Star Dou Great Forest, in the core area.
A dense golden light shone from the depths of the forest, and at the center of the golden light, a slender beastly figure could be faintly seen.
Beside this beastly figure stood a tall, middle-aged man.
The man wore a long, jet-black robe, with fine golden threads hanging down from the collar to the sides. His eyes were a rare gold, with vertical golden pupils like snakes.
His golden eyes stared directly at the center of the golden light before him, lost in thought.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed sharply!
"Auspicious beasts have taken human form, Star Dou is under full martial law, and yet someone dares to venture deep into the forest to hunt soul beasts at this time!"
A ferocious glint suddenly erupted in his eyes.
Humans, you have already met your demise!!!
His figure flashed, and in the next instant, he vanished from the spot.
Star Dou Great Forest, Mixed Zone.
It took nearly three hours for Cheng Ziang to slowly open his eyes.
The soul power emanating from his body was undoubtedly much stronger than before.
As a relatively powerful soul beast among bear-type soul beasts, the Shaking Sky Bear itself had a cultivation of over 20,000 years, and the strength of the soul ring it produced was comparable to that of some ordinary soul beasts with a cultivation of nearly 30,000 years.
After absorbing this soul ring, Cheng Ziang not only advanced to the level 60 Soul Emperor realm, but also obtained the Shaking Sky Bear's innate talent soul skill.
The effect of this skill was obviously among the best in the 20,000-year-level soul ring skills, possessing considerable damage and impact, as well as the relatively rare soul skill effects of locking and hard control.
Such a soul skill was definitely a very suitable sixth soul ring skill for a power-attack type Soul Emperor.
"How is it? How is the effect of the soul skill?" Zhang Lexuan stepped forward and asked with a smile.
Cheng Ziang took a deep breath, a smile of excitement on his face, clearly very satisfied with the skill brought by this soul ring.
Seeing this, Zhang Lexuan smiled and nodded, not asking any further questions.
Although the most powerful soul beasts in the mixed zone were only around 50,000 years old, the number of 10,000-year-old soul beasts here was the most dense in the entire forest, and many of them lived in groups.
Although the team included Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, two renowned top geniuses from the inner academy, even they couldn't guarantee their safety from the siege of numerous 10,000-year-old soul beasts, let alone protecting their junior brothers and sisters.
Therefore, Zhang Lexuan didn't intend to waste time here; the faster they completed the Soul Splitting Operation, the safer everyone would be.
"Alright, Zi'ang's soul ring has been successfully obtained. Let's continue deeper into the mixed zone."
As the team leader, Zhang Lexuan gave the order, and the others all nodded in unison, their faces extremely serious.
The group continued on their way.
The deeper they went into the mixed zone, the more clearly Zhang Lexuan noticed that the number of soul beasts around them was increasing, and even soul beasts over 30,000 years old appeared.
Zhang Lexuan's plan was to first have Wu Ming acquire his seventh spirit ring. Compared to other spirit rings, the seventh spirit ring, whose spirit skill would undoubtedly be the Martial Soul True Body, would maximize the team's strength. Moreover, this would give them an additional Soul Saint expert, making their spirit beast hunting efficiency even faster.
With Zhang Lexuan around, the team's spirit beast hunting efficiency was quite high. Soon, four of the ten inner court students who needed to acquire spirit rings had obtained suitable ones.
"Everyone, stop for a moment. We've been through quite a bit in the previous battles, so let's rest here for a while."
After hunting down the fourth soul beast, Zhang Lexuan gave the order to the group.
As the leader of the team and the highly respected senior sister of the inner academy, everyone obeyed Zhang Lexuan's orders without question.
The group sat cross-legged on the ground, with four students standing on the outer edges, observing the surrounding situation, while Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo stood in the center, ready to provide support at any time.
"It's a pity we didn't find a suitable soul beast for you, otherwise, our team's strength could have been improved even more," Zhang Lexuan said to Wu Ming with some regret.
Wu Ming didn't mind at all, sitting down on the ground nonchalantly, even patting the person next to her, "Senior Sister, you should sit down and rest for a while too. And Sister Ruoruo, you two did the most work just now, so you're the ones who should rest now."
Han Ruoruo smiled gently, "It's okay, we can rest standing up."
Jing Yuan, who was standing nearby, also wanted to sit down and rest, but remembering that his cultivation was third among everyone, and wanting to establish a good image in Wu Ming's mind, he remained standing.
Not far away, a white-haired man sat with his legs crossed in a tree, still leisurely drinking wine and eating chicken legs.
Despite his carefree appearance, his identity was actually quite famous throughout the entire Soul Master world.
Xuan Zi, titled Taotie, was the deputy head of the core Sea God Pavilion of Shrek Academy, and also the head of the Shrek Inspection Group, which was renowned throughout the continent.
His cultivation had reached level ninety-eight, and coupled with his incredibly powerful mutated martial soul, the Gluttonous Divine Ox, he had become one of the most powerful Super Douluo on the continent.
"Mmm, good wine and good meat, life should be lived this comfortably," Xuanzi mumbled, letting out a burp.
If one word could describe his current state, it would be—awesome!
Xuanzi loved drinking and indulging in gluttony; those familiar with him knew this well.
As the secret protector of the Shrek Academy's Soul Hunting Team, Xuanzi didn't actually take this operation seriously.
Zhang Lexuan's strength was undeniable in the inner courtyard. Although her cultivation was only at the Soul Douluo level, her true strength had already reached the Title level, capable of fighting 50,000-year-old soul beasts, and even escaping unscathed from 60,000-year-old ones.
Apart from Wu Ming, who needed a nearly 40,000-year-old soul ring, the rest of the Soul Hunting Team members were at most around 10,000 to 20,000 years old. With Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo present, dealing with such soul beasts would be no problem at all.
Therefore, Xuanzi only paid a sliver of attention to the Soul Hunting team, happily drinking his wine, completely ignoring everything else.
However
, one of the inner court students responsible for monitoring the north suddenly froze. Before he could even react, his body vanished from his spot.
It wasn't that he was too fast and left the spot in an instant; he was simply physically disappeared.
The change was extremely sudden, but everyone was an absolute elite of the inner court, especially Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo, who almost immediately directed everyone to form a defensive formation.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, a wave of grief washed over Zhang Lexuan.
She had always been a beloved senior sister to everyone in the inner court, treating these junior students as her own.
The sudden death of a junior student was incredibly painful for Zhang Lexuan.
However, Zhang Lexuan suppressed her grief, activated her martial spirit, and prepared to protect everyone at any moment.
Not far away, a tall figure slowly approached.
His long, black hair cascaded down his back like an ink-black waterfall, and his golden, vertical pupils seemed to be filled with an arrogant air of dominance.
Zhang Lexuan's heart trembled!
Because she couldn't see any emotion in this person's eyes at all; it was as if they were nothing more than insignificant ants in his eyes!
"The stench of blood is strong. It seems that many soul beasts in my Star Dou have died at your hands." The newcomer glanced at the group and spoke indifferently.
"Who are you?" Zhang Lexuan's eyes narrowed, recalling his previous words, and her heart skipped a beat!
"Could it be... that you are a transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast?!"
Upon hearing this, the others in the inner courtyard were all shocked.
A 100,000-year-old soul beast, and a transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast at that! To possess such strength, his true power was far beyond their imagination!
"Ruoruo, prepare to send a distress signal to Elder Xuan. I'll see if I can hold him off for a while." Zhang Lexuan transmitted her voice to Han Ruoruo.
Han Ruoruo nodded subtly, secretly preparing to act.
But at that moment, Han Ruoruo suddenly realized with horror that she couldn't move at all!
"You have no chance." The tall man spoke calmly, clearly having heard Zhang Lexuan and Han Ruoruo's conversation perfectly.
Zhang Lexuan, "!!!"
This man's strength is terrifying!
She took a deep breath, "You go first, I'll stay and hold him off!"
"Go!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Lexuan, who had already completed her Martial Soul Possession, prepared to raise her hand to launch a Soul Skill attack on the man, but at that moment, she discovered that her arms were completely unable to move!
Even her entire body was paralyzed!
It should be noted that Zhang Lexuan's strength was comparable to a level 90 Title Douluo, and to be able to be completely immobilized by the pressure, the strength of the man before her was unimaginable!
Just then!
Not far away, an angry roar suddenly rang out!
"Di Tian! Why did you attack my student!!!"
Hearing this voice, the Shrek Academy students felt no joy, but rather extreme panic!
The Star Dou Great Forest is home to many 100,000-year-old soul beasts, but among them are several terrifying ferocious beasts.
Di Tian, whose true form is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, is the strongest of these beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest. He once single-handedly unleashed a beast tide, nearly invading and destroying the Heavenly Soul Empire.
Only the intervention of Shrek Academy, which reached an agreement with Di Tian, averted this soul beast crisis.
But now, this Star Dou Beast God has personally appeared here and even attacked them!
Is Di Tian so enraged by killing a few 10,000-year-old soul beasts?
Di Tian glanced at Xuan Zi, who had just arrived. "You moved, so what can you do to me?"
Xuan Zi scanned the group and noticed someone was missing. His eyes blazed with fury as he loudly questioned, "Di Tian, you actually killed a disciple of my academy? Do you intend to break the agreement with Shrek Academy?"
"Agreement?" Di Tian scoffed disdainfully. "Why should I, Di Tian, abide by any agreement in my life?"
"Is this why you killed my student?"
"Of course not." Di Tian said calmly, "Xuan Zi, it's truly remarkable that you've cultivated to such a level. Leave now and guarantee that no human soul master will set foot in the Star Dou Mixed Zone for a year, and I may spare your life." Xuan
Zi was furious.
He was being told to leave alone, but he couldn't even prevent any human soul master from entering the Star Dou Mixed Zone for the next year?
Damn it, Di Tian was forcing him to swallow his pride and act like a coward!
"You killed my disciple and want me to leave? Di Tian, I admit you're incredibly strong, but if I just walk away like this, can I still be considered Shrek's Taotie?" Xuan Zi roared, instantly completing his Martial Soul Possession.
In mid-air, a towering, strange beastly figure appeared—Xuan Zi's Martial Soul, the Taotie Divine Ox.
Di Tian coldly stared at Xuan Zi, offering no resistance whatsoever.
Want to challenge me?
Then be prepared to die.
In mid-air, Xuan Zi's tattered robes were torn to shreds; though his face was aged, his body was incredibly strong.
Soon, he activated his seventh Soul Ring, transforming into a gigantic Taotie Divine Ox.
Xuan Zi dared not be careless towards Di Tian, going all out from the start!
Because of Xuanzi's presence, the oppressive aura emanating from Zhang Lexuan and the others diminished considerably. Once they regained their senses, they heard Xuanzi's roar, "Lexuan, take them and go! Don't worry about me!"
"Elder Xuan!"
Zhang Lexuan cried out in alarm, suppressing her grief, and without hesitation shouted to the remaining inner court students, "Everyone, evacuate the Star Dou Great Forest at full speed!"
The rest of the inner court students didn't even wait for Zhang Lexuan to finish speaking before frantically activating their martial souls and fleeing into the distance.
Di Tian glanced at them but made no move.
"Xuanzi,"
he said coldly, looking at Xuanzi, "Do you think I'll let them leave?"
The Taotie Divine Ox in mid-air paused slightly, then, like a massive meteor, crashed down towards Di Tian.
Di Tian sneered inwardly, raising his hand. On his palm, dense dark soul power seemed to form a black hole, possessing immense suction power.
Xuanzi's heart trembled violently. At that moment, he suddenly realized that his soul power was being continuously absorbed and assimilated by the black hole in Di Tian's hand!
"Di Tian, why do you treat us like this? Hunting soul beasts is the survival method that your Star Dou sect has tacitly agreed to, and it is also the agreement made with Shrek Academy. Today, we have only killed a few of your ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Why do you want to exterminate us?!"
Xuanzi roared furiously.
"Not long ago, my Star Dou region was placed under full martial law. Anyone who dared to enter the mixed zone to hunt soul beasts, no matter who they were, would be killed without mercy!"
Hearing Di Tian's cold reply, Xuan Zi suddenly realized something. "No wonder the Heavenly Soul Empire reported to us that many soul masters have mysteriously disappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest recently. It turns out it was you who did this!"
"What exactly are you soul beasts plotting?"
"Do you think I would tell you?" Di Tian said calmly. "Xuan Zi, today, this place will be your burial ground. But don't worry, I won't let you die too painfully. This is my last bit of respect for you human powerhouses."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black hole in Di Tian's palm suddenly magnified dozens of times!
