Zhao Wuji stared at the mountain-like giant beast before him, his eyes nearly devoid of hope.
Such a massive Titan Giant Ape was very likely the legendary hundred-thousand-year Beast King of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Even a hundred-year Titan Giant Ape could contend with ten-thousand-year Soul Beasts.
As for a hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape, its power was something Zhao Wuji dared not even imagine.
"Respected King of the Forest, we mean no offense!"
Zhao Wuji slowly retracted his Martial Soul, kneeling on one knee, his voice filled with reverence.
"If this is your territory, we are willing to leave immediately."
He knew that Titan Giant Apes could understand human speech, especially this hundred-thousand-year beast whose intelligence was no less than that of humans.
However, the Titan Giant Ape completely ignored his words.
It simply slowly raised its massive foot and took a step forward.
This simple motion made everyone's hearts leap into their throats.
The earth seemed to tremble, cracking with fine fissures.
Zhao Wuji suddenly looked up, a flash of determination in his eyes as he shouted sharply:
"Little Monsters! Run!"
Before his words faded, Soul Power surged around him as his Vajra Gorilla Bear Martial Soul reappeared, seven Soul Rings madly oscillating:
"Seventh Spirit Ability - Martial Soul Avatar!"
With a heaven-shaking roar, a seven-meter-tall phantom of the Vajra Gorilla Bear merged with him.
Zhao Wuji's body instantly swelled, covered in thick dark golden fur, his bear paws gleaming with cold light capable of tearing through steel, his aura skyrocketing to its peak.
"Nine Treasures shine with glazed light, first is strength, second is speed, third is defense!""
Ning Rongrong reacted swiftly, hurriedly summoning her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as three brilliant beams of light instantly shot into Zhao Wuji's body.
Zhao Wuji felt a powerful force surge through his limbs as his strength, speed, and defense all increased dramatically.
Without the slightest hesitation, he roared and charged fiercely toward the Titan Giant Ape, swinging his massive paws.
Facing the charging Zhao Wuji, the Titan Giant Ape let out a deafening roar, pounding its chest twice, its hill-like chest rippling with layers of muscle.
Then it swung its enormous fist in a wide arc, tearing through the air with a howl as it smashed down toward Zhao Wuji.
"Boom—!"
Fist and palm collided with a world-shaking impact, violent shockwaves sweeping outward and uprooting surrounding trees.
Zhao Wuji felt an irresistible tremendous force as his entire body was sent flying backward like a kite with its string cut.
Blood instantly trickled from the corner of his mouth as he let out a muffled groan, tumbling over a dozen times on the ground before coming to a stop.
"Teacher Zhao!" Tang San and the others cried out in alarm, their eyes filled with horror.
The Titan Giant Ape shook its fist as if it had merely swatted away an annoying insect.
Its lantern-like eyes swept over the group, finally settling on Xiao Wu, flashing with a strange light.
Zhu Zhuqing was the first to notice something wrong. Seeing the Titan Giant Ape's gaze firmly locked on Xiao Wu, her heart tightened suddenly.
Without thinking, she rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Wu's wrist, dashing toward the dense forest to the side:
"Xiao Wu, run!"Nine Treasures shine with glazed light, second is speed!""
Ning Rongrong reacted quickly as her Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda flashed again, a pale blue halo instantly enveloping Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu.
Their speed abruptly increased, their figures darting through the forest like lightning.
Seeing this, the Titan Giant Ape let out a low roar from its throat and charged after them with massive strides.
Its enormous body caused the ground to tremble with each step. Wherever it passed, trees as thick as a man's embrace were shattered like toys, splinters flying everywhere, leaving a trail of devastation.
"Rongrong! Keep amplifying!"
Zhu Zhuqing pulled Xiao Wu along as they nimbly dodged through the tree shadows, her voice urgent.
"Right! Nine Treasures turn to glass, second says speed!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, pushing her amplification to the maximum. Fine beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.
At that moment, a clear shout rang out: "Third Soul Skill: Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds!"
Xue Na stood not far away, a phantom of a Purple Lightning Golden Eagle materializing behind her.
As the eagle phantom beat its wings, countless tiny purple lightning bolts converged into a sharp electric bird, crackling with thunderbolts as it shot toward the Titan Giant Ape's back.
However, Xue Na was only at level thirty-four now. Even using all her strength, how could she possibly harm the Titan Giant Ape!
The sharp Extreme Lightning Thousand Birds struck the thick black fur on the Titan Giant Ape's back.
Like a stone thrown into the ocean, it didn't even create a single ripple, failing to halt its movements for even a moment.
Meanwhile, Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun supported the still dazed Oscar as they fled wildly in the opposite direction from the Titan Giant Ape.
With disaster looming, who had time to worry about others!
After being thrown aside by the Titan Giant Ape, Tang San hit his forehead on a rock. His vision went black, and he instantly lost consciousness, collapsing limply to the ground.
Elsewhere, even with Ning Rongrong's speed amplification, Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu's figures were still overtaken by the Titan Giant Ape's terrifying speed.
The giant ape's massive body blotted out the sky as it reached for them with one hand, its shadow instantly enveloping them.
At the critical moment, two skeletal palm bones glowing with eerie red light suddenly shot out from the side.
The bones precisely grabbed Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu by their waists, forcibly pulling them away from their original positions.
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu looked back in shock, seeing Su Yu's eyes now displaying strange Mangekyō patterns.
His body was enveloped by a massive crimson half-skeletal structure—thick bones formed from ocular power and Soul Power—the Susanoo.
With a grave expression, Su Yu controlled the Susanoo's skeleton to rapidly retreat with the two girls.
The Titan Giant Ape's hand slammed down empty-handed, striking the ground with tremendous force and sending clouds of dust flying.
It lowered its head to look at the suddenly appearing crimson skeleton, a flicker of confusion in its lantern-like eyes.
Seemingly intimidated by this never-before-seen entity, it momentarily froze in place, not immediately launching another attack.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yu gently set down Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu and said in a deep voice:
"Quickly find the others. Leave this to me."
The Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes spun increasingly rapidly as ocular power and Soul Power wildly drained from him.
Before his words faded, flesh and blood visibly grew and covered the previously skeletal Susanoo at an astonishing rate.
Immediately after, a layer of heavy tengu armor materialized out of thin air, completely encasing the skeleton.
The helmet of the armor bore curved horns, the shoulder guards were ferocious, and the armor surface was covered with intricate patterns.
This was the tengu form of Susanoo. Apart from lacking a lower body, the Susanoo now resembled an armored general!
The Titan Giant Ape stared at the bizarre being before it, a low growl rumbling in its throat—as if probing, yet also gathering strength.
