Facing the Titan
"What kind of monster is this?" As rows of trees fell, a huge Soul Beast, as big as a small hill, was rushing towards them.
"Everyone, be on guard, quick!" Flender's anxious voice rang out, and everyone instantly got ready to defend themselves.
Lu Yuan flashed to the back of the group, with Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong beside him.
Zhu Zhuqing was pulled by him, while Ning Rongrong came to his side on her own initiative.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a giant Soul Beast emerged from between the trees that had fallen to the sides.
Its body truly resembled a mountain, its jet-black fur shimmering faintly in the dim starlight and moonlight.
With its four limbs on the ground, even with its body slightly hunched over, its height is definitely over seven meters.
If it stood upright, its height would definitely be over fifteen meters.
This is a giant ape, but it also looks a bit like a gorilla.
It has eyes the size of lanterns, gleaming with a golden light, but its enormous body is not clearly visible in the black night.
Bathed in the soft moonlight, one can see that its body is incredibly robust, to an unbelievable degree.
Especially his terrifyingly strong muscles, as tough as granite, bulging like small hills, clearly revealing the immense power he possessed.
"The King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape!" The Grandmaster immediately recognized the identity of this Soul Beast.
"Titan Giant Ape?" Flender and the others were all shocked. There were probably few Soul Master in the Soul Master World who did not know the name of the Titan Giant Ape. It was rumored to be the king of the Star Dou Great Forest, extremely powerful, and even human Titled Douluo might not be able to deal with it.
"Lu Yuan!" Zhu Zhuqing tugged at Lu Yuan's hand. Facing such a powerful Soul Beast as the Titan Giant Ape, Zhu Zhuqing was naturally somewhat afraid.
Ning Rongrong, who was standing nearby, also moved closer to Lu Yuan.
"It's alright, Zhu Qing, don't forget what I told you!" Lu Yuan said softly, glancing at the void behind him.
"Hmm!" Upon hearing Lu Yuan's words, Zhu Zhuqing Lu Yuan realized what he meant. They still had the Dragon Emperor Douluo protecting them, who was Ultimate Douluo. With him protecting them, even the Titan Giant Ape could not threaten them. She felt much more at ease.
"The Titan Giant Ape is one of the top-tier Soul Beast. A ten-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape can contend with an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. This Titan Giant Ape in front of us is probably already over fifty thousand years old. Flender, you absolutely cannot fight it. Do not provoke it!" the Grandmaster said to Flender.
Upon hearing this, Flender nodded.
They stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, King of the Forest, we have no intention of offending you. If this is your territory, we are willing to withdraw immediately."
However, it was to no avail. The Titan Giant Ape seemed not to hear them and took a few more steps forward. Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others immediately raised their guard to the maximum, their hearts pounding in their throats.
The Titan Giant Ape lowered its head, its bright yellow eyes sweeping over the crowd. It paused on Xiao Wu for a moment before glancing at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan subtly gave a look, then glanced at Xiao Wu and Tang San beside her, nodded slightly, looked at the others again, and then shook his head.
In an instant, the Titan Giant Ape understood Lu Yuan's meaning: all that was needed was to take Xiao Wu away, and apart from Tang San who was with Xiao Wu, no one else should be harmed.
Although the Titan Giant Ape is simple-minded, that's just because of its straightforward personality. It's not unintelligent; after all, it's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, so it can still see through these simple things.
As for the Grandmaster saying that the Titan Giant Ape is Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, that's because the Grandmaster has never actually seen the Titan Giant Ape; it's just a guess.
The Titan Giant Ape blinked its large eyes as a response.
The Titan Giant Ape suddenly roared to the sky, pounding its chest with its arms, making a loud thumping sound.
Then, with those huge feet, it pounced towards Xiao Wu's location.
"Get back, get out of here! Old Zhao and I will hold them off!" Flender roared, grabbing the Grandmaster by the shoulder and throwing him backward. The Grandmaster was of no help whatsoever in dealing with the Titan Giant Ape.
What use is a level 29 Soul Grandmaster in such a battle?
And what about the Grandmaster's two Soul Skills?
Uh, they can't even distinguish between friend and foe, let's just forget about it!
As they spoke, their Soul Ring burst forth simultaneously, and various Soul Power states were added to their bodies. They pounced directly at the Titan Giant Ape.
"Zhu Qing, protect Rongrong for now and don't go forward. I'm going to help the dean and the others!" A brilliant dragon roar rang out, and Lu Yuan's figure immediately flew forward.
Although the Titan Giant Ape certainly wouldn't hurt anyone, it still had to put on a show.
"Lu Yuan, be careful! I'm here to help you!" Ning Rongrong's soft yet firm voice rang out. "The Seven Treasures, Named for their strength Second: Speed!"
A magnificent Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda appeared in his palm, and two beams of colorful light enveloped Lu Yuan, Zhao Wuji, and the others.
Instantly, Lu Yuan felt his strength suddenly increase by about 30%.
With a flash of his Golden Dragon Spear, carrying immense power, Lu Yuan joined the battle.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lu Yuan with some worry. Although the Dragon Emperor Douluo was secretly protecting him, life and death could be decided in an instant during a battle, and even the Dragon Emperor Douluo might not be able to rescue Lu Yuan in time.
However, since Lu Yuan wanted her to stay and take care of Ning Rongrong, she naturally had no choice but to comply.
Honestly, in the face of such a battle, a few Soul Grandmaster and a few Soul Elder really don't have much of an effect.
However, Ning Rongrong is an exception. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's amplification is indeed unparalleled. Regardless of level, it provides a 30% amplification, and this is only what Ning Rongrong can currently achieve.
Moreover, with each major realm reached, the auxiliary effects all increase by 10%, and at the Soul Sage level, the increase is 80%, which is extremely terrifying.
At this moment, after experiencing the boost from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Lu Yuan was even more determined to bring the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect under his command. Only this kind of percentage-based, tangible boost was what Lu Yuan valued most.
It also greatly increased Lu Yuan's strength.
While the Nine Heart Begonia has extremely strong healing effects, it does not directly enhance one's strength. What's the use of it if the recovery is so fast?
Is the Nine Secrets: Zhe faster?
The most satisfying thing is to directly increase your strength.
Moreover, if Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it would be an unprecedented 100% increase, and the growth in strength would be truly immeasurable.
Lu Yuan charged forward, and the others also activated their Martial Soul Possession. In this situation, who would dare to desert? It would be a disgrace they could never wash away for the rest of their lives.
