Chapter 18 Titan Ape VS Amethyst Winged Lion King, Xiao Wu in Despair!
Around him, five white-haired elders sat slumped in chairs, their faces ashen, as if they had just experienced a great battle.
"A lizard, a mutated bigfoot lizard..."
The Second Elder's lips trembled, and he kept repeating Hei Qing's words, his eyes vacant:
"That's a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!"
"It's the only Beast Martial Soul sect among our three upper sects!"
"Although our Clear Sky Sect has always prided itself on being the number one sect in the world and looks down on those snakes who play with lightning, we have to admit that even the sect leader would have to put in a lot of effort to deal with that old guy Yu Yuanzhen."
"But now he's being carried around like a chick, and his soul bone has been stripped away..."
At this point, the Seventh Elder couldn't help but swallow hard, then slammed his hand on the table.
However, that usually hot-tempered face was now filled with fear:
"The most outrageous thing is the soul bone, which is a 60,000-year-old soul bone!"
"Our Clear Sky Sect has accumulated so many years of heritage, and we only have a handful of inherited soul bones. We treat them like treasures and treat them with utmost care. Who would dare to desecrate them like this?!"
"So they used it to pave the floor? Or did they only use it because they disliked the color and thought it looked tacky?"
"This...this is simply ripping off the face of us Douluo people and throwing it on the ground to stomp on!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xiao, who was standing to the side, also took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the turmoil in his heart.
He raised his head and looked at the huge Clear Sky plaque above the main hall, a look of unprecedented confusion flashing in his eyes.
"Our Clear Sky Sect has been secluded from the world for many years, always believing that as long as we diligently cultivate the Ring-Breaking Technique and master the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique to its extreme, we will be invincible in the world."
"Even the Spirit Hall, though we are wary of it, we have never truly been afraid of it."
"But today..."
At this point, Tang Xiao paused, his voice unusually hoarse.
"The appearance of that higher-dimensional world made me realize something."
"That is our proud Clear Sky Hammer, the number one weapon spirit in the world. In the eyes of people in that world, it might just be a broken hammer for blacksmithing."
"If I were the one chosen..."
As he spoke, Tang Xiao glanced at his massive Clear Sky Hammer martial soul, then suddenly let out a bitter laugh:
"I'm afraid the outcome won't be much better than Yu Yuanzhen's."
"That black-armored giant dared to kill even a true dragon and could even tear space apart. My hammer would probably be too weak to even tickle him."
"Big brother..."
The elders standing nearby, seeing Tang Xiao's dejected figure, were all speechless, feeling as if they had a fishbone stuck in their throats.
...
However, the live broadcast on the sky did not stop because of their despair.
After the images on the light screen shifted for a while, a new image slowly appeared.
Battle Through the Dimension, Eastern Part of the Monster Mountain Range.
Core area.
This is the most dangerous place in the Jia Ma Empire. Ancient trees reach the sky, poisonous miasma permeates the area, and countless high-level magical beasts dwell here. Even experts at the Dou Ling level dare not easily venture into its depths.
Boom!!
Suddenly, accompanied by a loud bang, a thick golden beam of light slammed into a primeval forest in the core area.
In an instant, the earth trembled, and countless towering ancient trees were snapped in half, stirring up clouds of dust.
After the smoke and dust cleared, a massive black shadow, as large as a mountain, was fully revealed.
It was entirely black, with muscles bulging like granite, and its eyes gleaming with a yellowish light. Just by standing there, it exuded a terrifying and suffocating aura.
Erming, the king of the Star Dou Forest, a 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape!
"roar!!"
As soon as he landed, Erming instinctively pounded his chest and let out a roar that shook the mountains and forests.
As the overlord of the Star Dou Forest, it had long been accustomed to asserting its territorial rights in this way.
In the Douluo Continent, as long as it roars out, all the soul beasts within a hundred miles, whether they are thousands or tens of thousands of years old, will obediently lie on the ground and tremble.
"Is this the higher-dimensional world?"
After briefly observing his surroundings, Erming exhaled two puffs of white breath from his nostrils, and a thunderous sound echoed through the dense forest, spreading into the distance.
"The energy in the air is quite concentrated, but why are these so-called magical beasts making no move at all?"
"Could it be that they were intimidated by my imposing presence?"
"That's right. Although this world is powerful, it's impossible for 100,000-year-old soul beasts to roam everywhere. Although I'm not the strongest, I can't be the weakest either."
Thinking of all this, a hint of human satisfaction flashed in Erming's eyes.
Because in its perception, although there were many signs of life around, most of them were lurking and dared not move easily.
This instantly boosted its confidence.
What higher-dimensional world? What's so terrifying?
It seems that in the world of the Orcs, might makes right!
It possesses extreme strength and defense, as well as a gravity control domain, making it an extremely powerful existence even in this world.
"Now that we're here, this forest is my territory!"
After excitedly pounding his chest again, Erming strode forward triumphantly, ready to thoroughly inspect his new territory.
However, just as it took its first step, a purple light suddenly shone from the distant mountain peaks with a buzzing sound.
Immediately afterwards, an intensely hot aura, many times more violent than Erming's, locked onto it in an instant!
"Um?"
Sensing the threatening aura, Erming also turned his head sharply to look.
Then, a streak of purple light, like a comet striking the moon, came with a whooshing sound and rushed to its front in the blink of an eye!
It was a huge monster, covered in purple crystals, with wings on its back and a ferocious lion's head.
Although its size was not considered too large compared to the Titan Giant Ape, which was tens of meters tall, the purple flame-like energy fluctuations emanating from its body made Erming's hair stand on end instantly!
Tier 6 Magical Beast: Amethyst Winged Lion King!
This is the true overlord of the Monster Mountain Range, a terrifying existence comparable to a human Battle Emperor!
"Roar! Where did this black-haired monkey come from, daring to shout like that on my territory?"
The Amethyst Winged Lion King hovered in mid-air, its beastly eyes, filled with a savage aura, coldly staring at Erming, and spoke in human language:
"Shut up! Do you want to die for disturbing my afternoon nap?"
Hearing that this little lion dared to call him a monkey, Erming was immediately enraged!
With its blood rushing to its head, it no longer cared about whether it was a high-dimensional or low-dimensional creature, and was ready to teach it how to be a proper beast!
"Roar! Kitten! I am the King of the Forest, Titan Giant Ape! How dare you disrespect me?"
"You're asking for it!"
After saying that, Erming roared and his body shone with a bright yellow light as his innate domain was activated instantly!
"Gravity control domain, get down!"
boom!
In an instant, a terrifying gravitational wave centered on Erming instantly enveloped an area of about a kilometer in radius.
Strangely, after this move is released in Douluo Continent, the ground will instantly collapse, and countless giant trees will be crushed into dust!
Even a titled Douluo-level expert would find it difficult to move an inch!
However, upon arriving in this world, neither the earth nor the trees showed any movement, as if they had been welded shut by steel bars.
Moreover, the Amethyst Winged Lion King in mid-air only swayed slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a flash of purple light appeared on the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body. The layer of purple crystal seemed to isolate all rules and actually withstood the pressure of gravity!
That's it?
Upon sensing the gravitational pressure from the Titan Giant Ape, a hint of mockery flashed in the eyes of the Amethyst Winged Lion King:
"Manipulating gravity? A child's play!"
"Let me show you what true power is! Amethyst Seal!"
roar!
After saying that, the Amethyst Winged Lion King suddenly opened its mouth wide, and a dazzling purple beam of light shot out instantly, ignoring Erming's gravity field, and then slammed into its rock-solid chest!
Pfft!
There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a piercing, teeth-grinding sound.
Erming's supposedly invincible defense, his granite-like skin that even a Title Douluo's soul skill couldn't break through, was instantly burned through like tofu by this purple beam of light, leaving a huge, transparent hole!
"Awooo!!!"
Erming let out an extremely shrill scream, and his massive body crashed to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Too weak."
After instantly defeating the Titan Giant Ape Erming, the Amethyst Winged Lion King slowly descended, then placed a claw on Erming's head as if it were a ball.
"He has brute strength, but his energy is as loose as cotton."
"You dare call yourself the King of the Forest? I think you're just joking."
"It just so happens that my cave dwelling is short of a hard worker to guard the gate. Although his strength is trash, his physique is barely acceptable."
As he spoke, the Amethyst Winged Lion King casually tossed out a purple fire chain, which he looped around Erming's neck like a dog's leash. Then, he slowly dragged the heavily injured and dying 100,000-year-old soul beast towards the mountaintop.
Along the way, Erming's blood stained the mountain road red.
The former king of the forest is now being dragged along like a rag doll, too weak even to howl.
...
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent.
Star Dou Forest, outside the Lake of Life.
"Er Ming!!"
A heart-wrenching roar echoed through the sky, and the Great Ming Azure Bull Python, which had been hiding in fear, suddenly charged out.
The massive bull's head was covered in tears and disbelief.
It is Erming's elder brother. The two beasts have depended on each other for 100,000 years and have an extremely deep bond.
In its mind, Erming, though not as powerful as it, was still a top-tier expert on the continent.
Its defensive capabilities are so strong that even a super Douluo among humans would find it difficult to break through!
But now, that little lion has managed to defeat him in one move.
"How is this possible?!"
The massive body of Da Ming was entwined around a giant tree on the island in the lake, trembling all over, its voice filled with despair:
"That purple lion, it's so small, why is it so strong?"
"And those purple flames not only burned through Erming's defenses, but also sealed his soul power!"
"That's terrifying! That world is terrifying!"
"Our 100,000 years of cultivation couldn't even withstand a single move from a lion in that world?"
"What kind of ferocious beasts are we? What kind of kings of the forest are we?"
"And what kind of world is that?!"
Da Ming collapsed.
Its proud strength and its dignity as the overlord of soul beasts were shattered when the Titan Giant Ape Erming was instantly killed and trampled into pieces.
If it too is chosen to go to that world...
Da Ming glanced at his proudly sluggish domain, shook his head, and gave a bitter laugh.
I'm afraid the outcome won't be much better than Erming's.
...
On the other side, Shrek Academy.
"No! Er Ming!"
Xiao Wu was already crying her eyes out. She was gripping Tang San's arm tightly, her nails digging into his flesh without her noticing, which made Tang San wince in pain.
Xiao Wu's eyes were red and swollen, and her body was convulsing violently; her eyes were completely red.
"Third Brother! That's Erming, I recognize it!"
"How could it, so strong and powerful, be beaten up like this by a little lion?"
"What kind of creature is that purple lion? It wasn't even using its full strength. Why... why is that world treating us like this?"
"Are soul beasts destined to be nothing more than prey and slaves of others?"
Xiao Wu's cries were shrill and helpless, making everyone around her feel a pang of sadness, while also leaving them somewhat bewildered, as if something was amiss.
Tang San was the same. Although he couldn't understand why Xiao Wu knew that Titan Giant Ape, or why she was so sad and said those words, he still hugged Xiao Wu tightly, his face so gloomy it could drip water.
He watched as the Titan Ape was dragged away like a dead dog in the light screen, and felt not only anger but also a deep sense of powerlessness.
"A 100,000-year-old soul beast is equivalent to the combat power of a Title Douluo."
"In that world, it was actually killed in one move by such an unknown monster."
"Moreover, the monster seems to be extremely intelligent, even able to speak human language and build its own cave."
"This is clearly a high-level beast race with a complete social and cultivation system!"
The thought of this made Tang San shudder.
"Do my Blue Silver Grass and Clear Sky Hammer really have any meaning in the face of that absolute power and energy density?"
"What if one day I also encounter a monster of that level..."
Tang San dared not think any further.
His prized hidden weapon, even Guanyin's tears, would probably be unable to scratch the fur of that Amethyst Winged Lion King.
...
On the other side, in the Spirit Hall, in the Elder Hall.
Compared to the grief of the soul beasts, the reaction of the powerful here was more of a fear of the death of a fellow beast.
"Hiss, what terrifying penetrating power!"
Gui Mei, who had just been devastated by Yan's death, felt a phantom pain in his chest when he looked at the large, transparent hole in Erming's chest.
"I have personally experienced the defensive power of the Titan Giant Ape."
"Back then, it took the combined efforts of myself and Yue Douluo to use the Martial Soul Fusion Technique, the Polar Stasis Domain, to barely trap it for a moment."
"To break its defense, at least three Title Douluo would need to attack the same point simultaneously!"
"But that purple lion..."
Thinking of this, Gui Mei couldn't help but swallow hard, and said with a bitter expression:
"Just a breath!"
"No charging up, no complicated skill animation, he just opened his mouth and spat out a beam of light!"
"Even a level 99 Limit Douluo probably wouldn't dare to take this attack head-on, right?"
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu, who was sitting at the head of the table, looked extremely unpleasant, but surprisingly, he did not refute it.
Because he knew Gui Mei was telling the truth.
The level of that purple energy was too high; it was pure destructive power, without any fancy techniques.
"It seems that our assessment of that world was too conservative."
Then, Qian Daoliu sighed deeply, looking at the Angelic Holy Sword in his hand, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes:
"Our God, the Angel God..."
"If we were in that world, could I defeat this lion?"
No one dares to answer this question, and no one can answer it.
...
Above the sky, the light screen display continued.
Just as everyone in Douluo Continent was still feeling suffocated by Erming's plight, the scene shifted again.
This time, it was the turn of Su Yuntao, the legendary figure known as the Blind Douluo who once awakened Tang San's martial soul.
Battle Through Dimensions, the Gama Empire.
The outskirts of the Monster Mountain Range.
Su Yuntao was standing in a forest with a bewildered expression, still holding the certificate that said his martial soul was useless.
"Where...where am I?"
"Don't I work at the Notting City branch?"
Before he could figure out what was going on, a low growl suddenly came from all around him.
Then, a dozen pairs of bright green eyes appeared one after another from the bushes all around.
Those are second-tier magical beasts, a pack of wind wolves!
Although it is only second-tier, equivalent to the Dou Shi level, the physical strength of magical beasts of the same tier in the Doupo world far surpasses that of humans, let alone the Great Soul Masters of Douluo Continent.
"Hmph! So they're just a bunch of wolf cubs!"
However, upon seeing the pack of wolves, Su Yuntao suddenly felt more confident.
After all, his martial soul is the Lone Wolf, an elite among wolves!
"Before my Lone Wolf Martial Soul, you beasts, why don't you obediently submit?"
"Martial Soul Possession, Lone Wolf!"
Then, Su Yuntao shouted loudly, and two spirit rings, one white and one yellow, instantly lit up on his body.
In an instant, Su Yuntao's body rapidly expanded, not only growing gray fur but also transforming his hands into wolf claws. He struck what he thought was a very cool pose and roared at the wolf pack:
"Awooo!!!"
He tried to intimidate the pack of wind wolves with his authority.
However, when the dozen or so wind wolves looked at the human who had suddenly grown hair and was making strange noises, they didn't feel fear in their eyes. Instead, their expressions even seemed to suggest they wanted to laugh.
In their eyes, this human's aura was pitifully weak, and his internal energy was as thin as paper, yet he insisted on putting on a fierce appearance.
Most importantly, the wolfish smell on him was not authentic at all!
This is an insult to the wolf clan!
"roar!"
At this moment, the alpha wolf seemed to lose patience. It let out a low growl and gave the order to attack.
