The Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods Descend on the Star Dou Great Forest

Douluo Continent.

The outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

A burly middle-aged man led seven boys and girls into the forest.

"Once we're in the forest, none of you are to go more than twenty meters away from me."

"Ning Rongrong, Oscar, you two especially need to be careful."

"Without my orders, no one is to attack a Soul Beast recklessly."

"Understood?"

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Teacher Zhao, look at the sky!"

Tang San suddenly stopped and pointed above the forest.

Everyone looked up.

Seventy-two meteors tore through the sky, plunging straight toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Oh my god, what are those things?"

Ma Hongjun craned his neck and patted Oscar.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Oscar swallowed.

"Could they be meteorites?"

"Everyone, stay alert!"

Zhao Wuji immediately released his Martial Soul and surveyed their surroundings.

"Um... Teacher Zhao, are we... still going in?"

"Hey, Little San, what are you afraid of? Teacher Zhao is here, and those meteorites were obviously headed deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest. They've got nothing to do with us."

Oscar darted over and hooked an arm around Tang San's neck.

They had come specifically to hunt a Soul Ring for him this time. How could he possibly give up just like that?

The others thought Oscar had a point.

"Mm, Little Ao is right. We'll stay on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. If anything goes wrong, we'll retreat immediately!"

Zhao Wuji gave the order.

Then he led the Shrek Seven Devils into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Elsewhere.

The seventy-two meteors crashed into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

When the flames faded, the meteors' true forms were revealed.

They were seventy-two enormous pillars, radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

Figures condensed out of the pillars one after another.

Some were tall, some short; some were burly, others slender. They came in all shapes and sizes.

But every one of them radiated a suffocating pressure.

The three figures at their head were powerful beyond measure.

The nearby Soul Beasts had scattered and fled the moment the Demon God Pillars fell. Even Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts didn't dare remain.

Feng Ling slowly opened his eyes.

Before he could make sense of the changes around him,

thousands of years' worth of memories flooded into his mind all at once.

God of Divine Retribution Austin Griffin! Demon God Emperor Feng Xiu! Holy Demon Continent! Ten Earths Nine Heavens God-Slaying Great Array! Blood sacrifice... and... that final battle.

Feng Ling's vision blurred, and he swayed, nearly falling from the air.

"Big brother!"

An arm reached out from his left and steadied him.

It was the Second Pillar, Moon Demon God Agares.

The Third Pillar, Star Demon God Vasak, also stepped forward from the right to support him.

"Big brother, what's wrong?"

Feng Ling waved a hand. The memories were still pouring in, leaving him unable to speak.

Seeing that Feng Xiu remained silent, Moon Demon God Agares didn't press him. He turned to Vasak.

"Third brother, can you divine where we are? I feel... something's wrong. This... doesn't seem to be the Holy Demon Continent."

"Besides... didn't we die a long time ago?"

Vasak closed his eyes and formed a hand seal. Starlight flickered at his fingertips, then went out.

He opened his eyes and shook his head. "I can't divine it."

"Even you..."

"To be able to resurrect all seventy-two of us demon gods..."

Vasak smiled bitterly and looked up at the sky.

"Only the creator god could have accomplished something like this."

Agares fell silent for two seconds. Perhaps that really was possible.

"Since our race has come to this world, we should find a place to put down roots."

With that, Agares released his demon god's pressure.

The demon gods, who had still been excited by their resurrection, immediately fell quiet.

They all looked up and bowed.

"Greetings, Lord Agares!"

"Greetings, Lord Agares!"

"Greetings, Lord Agares!"

Agares immediately gave an order.

"All demon gods, I command you to gather information in the surrounding area. Remember, do not cause too much trouble!"

"Yes!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the demon gods transformed into streaks of light and flew off in all directions.

Only the three Sun, Moon, and Star brothers remained.

"Something seems wrong with big brother..."

"Have faith in big brother. We'll stand guard over him."

In the distance.

The Seventh Pillar Battle Maniac Demon God A Nan curled his lip.

"Hmph, what a lousy place. It's full of magical beasts no better than ants. I don't feel like fighting them at all."

He had just casually killed ten Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in an instant, without the slightest interest.

Just as he was about to turn around and look elsewhere,

two enormous figures suddenly appeared in the distance, along the stream.

A giant ape as black as a lump of coal was scooping up water to drink. Beside him lay a huge, long green snake.

"Oh! Interesting."

"Looks like I won't be bored!"

A Nan licked his lips and leaped through the air, landing in front of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

He casually struck the bank of the stream, splashing water all over the Titan Giant Ape's face.

Er Ming raised his head, shook the water off his face, and roared furiously at A Nan!

Roar!!!

The Sky Azure Bull Python spoke from beside him, his tone fairly calm. "Human, leave this place."

A Nan froze.

He looked down at himself, somewhat doubtful.

No matter how he looked at them, the dark red battle markings covering his body were nothing like a human's.

He looked up and pointed at himself. "Human? Me?"

Sky Azure Bull Python: "What else? Human!"

"Leave this place!"

A Nan's expression changed from confusion to astonishment.

Finally, he threw back his head and laughed wildly.

"Hahahahaha!"

"You're calling me human? Hahahaha!"

"How interesting!"

"I hope you won't disappoint me in a moment!"

With that, A Nan grinned.

His dark red battle markings lit up, and the Seventh Pillar Battle Maniac Demon God released his pressure without restraint.

Er Ming was the first unable to bear it. The pressure made him instinctively take half a step back.

Roar!

Er Ming slammed both fists into the ground, and his Gravity Domain spread out in an instant. The ground within a hundred meters sank half a foot.

A Nan's feet sank. He looked down at the ground, then back up at Er Ming.

"That's it? Not nearly enough!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python didn't rush to attack. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and studied A Nan, a trace of doubt in his voice.

"Human, who exactly are you? Since when has there been someone like you among humans?"

A Nan was amused.

"Have you ever seen a human as handsome as this demon god?"

"Remember this! I am no human! I am the Seventh Pillar Battle Maniac Demon God A Nan!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python pondered for a moment. "Demon god? What's that?"

"Ignorant ant. I can't be bothered wasting words on a beast like you."

"I just got here myself, and I was worried I wouldn't find a decent opponent. One of you is a black lump of coal, and the other is a long green snake. You look somewhat interesting."

The words "black lump of coal" made Er Ming so angry that white vapor puffed from his nostrils. He beat his chest with both fists and roared, ready to charge.

The Sky Azure Bull Python swung his tail across to stop him.

"Er Ming, wait. This fellow's presence is strange. Don't act rashly!"
