The mighty ant king was struck by lightning. Although its carapace was shattered and its wings were injured, it did not retreat. Instead, its ferocity was completely aroused!
It let out a low growl and gave chase again. This time, it was clearly wiser and dared not approach Lin Chen rashly again. It suddenly exerted force with its limbs, its massive body halting abruptly in mid-air, maintaining a safe and easily maneuverable distance from Lin Chen. Then, its giant jaws opened and closed, instantly condensing an extremely thick, earth-yellow soul force into a thick beam of light, which shot fiercely towards Lin Chen!
The light blast pierced the air with tremendous force, a clear long-range attack!
Lin Chen had to frequently change direction and dodge sideways in the air, and each maneuver consumed a lot of soul power, inevitably slowing down his flight speed.
"Damn it!" Lin Chen cursed inwardly, his back already covered in a cold sweat.
If this drags on, it will definitely lead to a dead end.
Once entangled by this ant king, maintaining distance and continuously wearing him down will allow the other two mighty ant kings to arrive from behind and the three brothers to regroup and surround him. Even if he has extraordinary abilities, he will not escape the fate of being ganged up on and killed!
He looked up and gazed into the distance; the direction of the Lake of Life, shrouded in white mist, was still several miles away.
That distance now seems even longer than an insurmountable chasm.
The situation is extremely precarious!
Lin Chen's eyes suddenly hardened.
Continuing to escape like this will only lead to being dragged to death. Rather than being passively restricted, it's better to take down the one that's chasing us the most closely!
It has already been hit twice and is seriously injured. If we launch another fierce attack, we can completely drive it away before the other two ant queens arrive!
With his mind made up, Lin Chen suddenly spun around in the air, advancing instead of retreating.
"Third Soul Skill - Blue Silver Netherworld Thunder Prison!"
boom!
Countless giant blue silver grasses wrapped in purple-gold lightning burst from the ground and soared into the sky, instantly weaving into an airtight lightning cage, locking the speed-type Thousand-Pound Ant King, which was still bombarding from afar, firmly in the middle!
Lightning struck its hard shell with a crackling sound, and a paralyzing force instantly spread throughout its body, causing it to freeze in its tracks.
Before the Ant King could launch a furious counterattack, Lin Chen's second soul skill followed immediately:
"Second Soul Skill - Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
A gigantic spear, crackling with raging lightning, suddenly materialized and swooped down from mid-air with a piercing sharpness, crashing down on the Ant King's paralyzed torso!
"Bang--!"
The Thousand-Pound Ant King was slammed to the ground by a single shot, dust flying everywhere, and the cracks on its carapace widened again.
Now!
Lin Chen swooped down like lightning, and with a flick of his wrist, the pitch-black Soul-Devouring Spider Spear with its ferocious teeth instantly swelled up, carrying a bone-chilling devouring power, and fiercely pierced into the cracks in the Thousand-Pound Ant King's carapace!
"hiss--!!"
The ant queen let out an extremely shrill scream.
The Soul-Devouring Spider Spear frantically devoured Lin Chen's 80,000-year-old primordial soul power and life essence, drawing out and absorbing pure and violent power into Lin Chen's body. The Thousand-Pound Ant King struggled violently, but was tightly bound by Lei Yu, and could only helplessly allow its power to be consumed.
In a short moment, its originally ferocious aura suddenly weakened, and its wings drooped limply.
Lin Chen withdrew the Soul-Devouring Spider Spear, a cold glint in his eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, his blue silver wings unfurled with a roar, blue light and lightning intertwining to transform into an ultimate escape beam, and he sped off towards the Lake of Life without looking back!
By the time the Thunder Prison collapsed and the Thousand-Pound Ant King broke free, Lin Chen had already flown far away, leaving only a receding silhouette.
It roared angrily, but its injuries were severe and its speed greatly reduced, so it could only watch helplessly as its prey escaped.
Meanwhile, in the distance, the ferocious auras of the other two mighty ant kings had just approached the battlefield.
Lin Chen flew several miles at high speed, glanced back at the pursuit direction that had already shrunk to a black dot, and finally relaxed a little.
The speed-type Thousand-Pound Ant King was severely injured by him and had no chance of catching up in a short time; the other two were already known for their strength and defense, and their speed was far inferior to his. In addition, with such a large distance between them, it was already extremely difficult for them to surround him again.
He was just about to slow down, catch his breath, and recover his depleted soul power—
In an instant, the world went dark!
Despite it being broad daylight, the entire forest seemed to be completely shrouded by an invisible hand. The light vanished at a visible speed, plunging the surroundings into pitch blackness. The air suddenly turned cold, and an oppressive force emanating from the depths of his soul pressed down on Lin Chen without warning, almost freezing his blood.
Lin Chen's heart clenched, and his expression changed drastically.
"not good!"
He dared not hesitate for a moment, and instantly activated his Blue Silver Domain!
His pale blue spiritual energy surged outwards like a tidal wave, desperately probing everything around him. But this time, it was as if his domain had crashed into an endless abyss of darkness; all his senses were being devoured and suppressed, and he couldn't detect anything beyond half a meter.
In an instant, Lin Chen understood—
This is the domain!
It's someone else's territory, and they're crushing his territory!
His face turned deathly pale instantly, and he cursed inwardly:
No way... could my luck be this bad?
He hadn't even touched the edge of the Lake of Life when he bumped into a 100,000-year-old soul beast!
Only a 100,000-year-old soul beast can condense its own domain power!
Even those three giant ant kings, each over 80,000 years old, with their formidable physical bodies and terrifying power, were far from reaching the level of controlling a domain.
In the darkness, the silent pressure grew heavier and heavier.
Lin Chen froze in mid-air, even his breathing became cautious, his soul power was stretched to the limit, and Thor's Hammer and Soul-Devouring Spider Spear were ready to strike at any moment.
He didn't even dare to move, and could only stand still in the absolute darkness, waiting for this unknown overlord of ten thousand years to appear.
Just as Lin Chen's heart was about to settle down, it sank to the bottom the next second.
Using the faint light at the edge of the domain, he stared intently. The age fluctuations emanating from the soul beast before him clearly indicated only a little over 40,000 years. He even stubbornly activated the Blue Silver Domain again to probe repeatedly, but the result remained clear—it was indeed only 40,000 years of cultivation.
Lin Chen had just breathed a sigh of relief, but when he finally saw the appearance of the soul beast clearly, the joy on his face instantly froze, and then his face turned green, and he felt like he wanted to die.
Standing in the darkness before them was a gigantic tiger of extreme malevolence!
Its entire body was covered in jet-black fur, beneath which flowed eerie, dark purple and ghostly green light, as if harboring an all-consuming evil essence. Its tiger eyes were not the vertical pupils of a beast, but blood-red, gleaming with a malevolent, godlike light; wherever its gaze swept, even the air seemed to sizzle and corrode. A single, curved, sharp, jet-black horn, as black as jade, grew from its forehead, wreathed in a faint, chaotic, malevolent aura. Its limbs were as thick as pillars, its claws gleaming with a cold light sharper than any divine weapon, and its tail tip bore a ferocious scorpion stinger, dripping with ghostly green venomous saliva.
It exudes not the wildness of an ordinary soul beast, but an evil and domineering power that transcends the rules. In just over 40,000 years, it has already acquired the power of a domain.
Lin Chen felt a chill run down his spine and his hair stand on end.
This is no ordinary soul beast, it's the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
In the original novel, this is a terrifying existence that even Tang San, who has already become a Title Douluo, had to fight with all his might and risk his life to kill! Its evil nature and combat power have long surpassed the limitations of age, making it invincible among its peers. Even ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts are no match for it. Only when Da Ming and Er Ming join forces can it be truly suppressed!
He simply wanted to shake off the Thousand-Pound Ant Queen and reach the Lake of Life.
They actually ran into the most ferocious, evil, and unreasonable beast in the Douluo Continent on the outskirts of the core area!
The 40,000-year-old Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is more than ten times more terrifying than the 80,000-year-old Thousand-Pound Ant King!
Lin Chen felt a sudden pang of despair in his heart:
Is his luck just incredibly bad?
Having just escaped death from the encirclement of the three giant ant kings, they had barely left the tiger's den when they fell right into the wolf's lair!
This is the Dark Demon God Tiger!
Let alone him now, even a Title Douluo would tremble with fear if they encountered him. What could he possibly use to fight? His head?
"Damn it! Could things get any worse?!"
He had just finished cursing in his heart when he felt like slapping his own mouth to pieces.
What a jinx!
An even more terrifying scene unfolded—
Three violent, familiar auras were rapidly approaching from afar, carrying undisguised killing intent.
They are the three brothers, the King Ants!
They realized Lin Chen was trapped, and they actually joined forces to come over and completely surround him!
Before them stood the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, over 40,000 years old, whose combat power was comparable to that of a 100,000-year-old being.
Following them are the three brothers, the Thousand-Pound Ant King, who, having recovered from their injuries, relentlessly pursue them.
Besieged on both sides, their fate is sealed.
Lin Chen's face turned completely pale, and without thinking, he turned and ran away.
But it was too late.
The Dark Demon God Tiger's blood-red eyes narrowed slightly.
The dark domain surrounding him suddenly contracted, and his massive body transformed into a streak of inky lightning.
Carrying an all-consuming evil aura and a bloody wind, it attacked without any regard for reason!
Lin Chen's heart sank. At this moment, his soul power was almost exhausted. He had just activated his second and third soul skills in succession, and then forcibly activated the Soul Devouring Spider Spear to absorb power. His body was already extremely empty. He was only slowly recovering his mana by relying on his first soul skill, Life Absorption. That little bit of replenishment was just a drop in the ocean for his current desperate situation.
The Dark Demon God Tiger gave him no chance to breathe. Its pitch-black figure soared into the air once more, and its eerie dark domain pressed in frantically. A foul wind swept over him, and its sharp claws, accompanied by a sharp sound of tearing through space, rushed straight at him!
"Let's give it our all!"
Lin Chen's eyes were bloodshot. He clenched his right hand and the Thor's Hammer appeared with a bang. The black hammer was wrapped in violent purple-gold lightning and hummed loudly. His left hand shone brightly and the external soul bone Thunder Prison Sword broke out of his arm. Lightning surged on the sword, like a falling thunder dragon.
"Thunder God's Divine Punishment!"
He roared and unleashed the Thunder Prison Sword, a ten-thousand-foot-long thunderous sword aura carrying a devastating thunderstorm. Purple lightning shattered the sky, illuminating the entire dark domain. Wherever the sword aura passed, ancient trees snapped in two, and the air itself was distorted by the scorching lightning.
The sword energy slammed into the Dark Demon God Tiger, causing it to halt its advance and its body to surge with evil energy.
Before it could regain its footing, Lin Chen was already close by. He raised the Thor's Hammer above his head, pouring all the remaining lightning power in his body into it. The light on the hammer surged to its maximum, and with a world-shattering force, it slammed down!
Boom—!!!
A deafening roar echoed throughout the core area. Lightning and dark, malevolent energy collided violently, and shockwaves swept in all directions, tearing away layers of soil and causing towering ancient trees to collapse in large numbers.
The Dark Demon God Tiger took two full-force blows, and its massive body was finally forced back several feet. A hint of shock and anger flashed in its scarlet tiger eyes, but it was not seriously injured.
Now!
Seizing this fleeting opening, Lin Chen pushed off with both feet and his body shot backward in a frenzy.
"Blue Silver Domain! Thunder Domain! Both domains activated!"
Two beams of light, one blue and one purple, suddenly erupted, their life force and the might of the Thunder God intertwining and entwining, like two sharp blades, fiercely tearing open the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's all-suppressing dark domain!
The space suddenly opened up, and light began to fall again.
But the moment a hint of joy appeared on Lin Chen's face, he froze instantly, his blood practically freezing.
Just ahead, beyond the dense forest, the three mighty ant queens had all arrived.
Strength-type, speed-type, and defense-type, the three brothers formed a triangle, blocking the way. Their carapaces gleamed with ferocity, and the pressure of the 80,000-year-old soul beasts merged into one, echoing the evil aura of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger behind them.
Ahead lay the menacing Dark Demon God Tiger.
Behind them were the three brothers, the King Ants, relentlessly pursuing them.
Lin Chen was completely surrounded and trapped in the middle of a desperate situation.
