Titan Giant Ape

Its powerful muscles made this Soul Beast seem even more formidable. With its arrival, the surrounding air seemed to freeze solid, making it hard to breathe.

Even more unexpectedly, all the smaller Soul Beasts tucked their tails and scattered in every direction beneath its aura.

It was as though they feared this Soul Beast.

Liu Yi had never dreamed that he would encounter such a terrifying Soul Beast in this godforsaken place.

He knew every Soul Beast and every Martial Soul possessed by Soul Masters on Douluo Continent, yet he had never expected to encounter it on the outskirts of the forest. Could it be because of Xiao Wu?

"The King of the Forest... the Titan Giant Ape!" Liu Yi's voice trembled slightly.

The King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, was one of the peak Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. A hundred-year Soul Beast of its kind could contend with an ordinary ten-thousand-year Soul Beast. Yet according to what he knew, this Titan Giant Ape was clearly a top-tier Soul Beast whose cultivation had surpassed 100,000 years.

Its elder brother, in particular, was an even more terrifying existence.

He also knew that Tang Hao had once been the only person capable of defeating the Titan Giant Ape. That meant this Soul Beast possessed strength at least equivalent to a level ninety-six Titled Douluo.

Perhaps even higher.

Liu Yi cautiously backed away. Naturally, he had no desire to fight this giant.

He was only a Soul Emperor. How could he possibly contend against the King of the Forest with 100,000 years of cultivation?

The King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, sensed the fear on Liu Yi and the others' faces. It immediately bent its limbs and crouched on the ground.

Seeing this, Liu Yi was secretly delighted. It seemed this giant was not trying to kill him.

But Liu Yi was wrong. The Titan Giant Ape suddenly let out a savage roar at him.

In an instant, all the surrounding trees were destroyed as though a tornado had swept through them.

Zhao Wuji was the first to step in front of the others. He respectfully said, "Honored King of the Forest, we mean no offense. If this is your territory, we will withdraw immediately."

This Titan Giant Ape had already reached 100,000 years of cultivation, so it naturally understood human speech. Especially before such a terrifying aura, cold sweat streamed down Zhao Wuji's back.

The Titan Giant Ape ignored Zhao Wuji's humble plea. Instead, it made a simple movement—it stepped forward and stared coldly at Liu Yi and Xiao Wu behind him.

"Roar!" The Titan Giant Ape roared once more.

"Liu Yi, take everyone and leave!" Zhao Wuji understood the gravity of the situation and urgently shouted at Liu Yi beside him.

The King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape, was an overlord among Soul Beasts. If Tang San and the others did not leave quickly, these children would likely all die at the hands of this monstrous beast.

Zhao Wuji let out a furious roar. The seven soul rings on his body lit up at once as Gravity Enhancement and the Immovable Bright King Body Protection Barrier were activated. His right hand swung fiercely toward the Titan Giant Ape.

With a thunderous boom, the enormous bear claw struck the Titan Giant Ape's massive body.

Yet no matter how much strength Zhao Wuji used, the Titan Giant Ape seemed completely unaffected.

With a casual sweep of its hand, Zhao Wuji's body was sent flying like a cannonball. He crashed through more than a dozen trees before finally coming to a stop.

"Tang San, get out of here! Take the injured Teacher Zhao and retreat immediately! Hurry!"

Dai Mubai could not help roaring as he charged toward the Titan Giant Ape. The White Tiger Body Protection Barrier and White Tiger Vajra Transformation were unleashed simultaneously.

Liu Yi knew that if he did not act, the few of them would undoubtedly die.

He did not dare slack off in the slightest. Facing a 100,000 Year Soul Beast, if he still dared to play the fool to catch the tiger, he might not even know how he died.

Liu Yi leaped lightly and silently appeared atop the Titan Giant Ape's head.

With a wave of his right hand, a Seven Kill Sword appeared in his palm.

The Seven Kill Sword in his hand emitted a dazzling white light. Upon seeing that white light, the Titan Giant Ape could not help but close its eyes.

Below him, Ning Rongrong froze when she saw the Seven Kill Sword. "The Seven Kill Sword... he's from Sword Grandfather's clan."

"Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"

Tens of thousands of Seven Kill Swords formed in midair. At Liu Yi's command, they all shot toward the Titan Giant Ape below, which was like a hill.

Yet the Titan Giant Ape kept its eyes tightly shut. Its body stood as immovable as a towering mountain.

Seeing this, Liu Yi could not help frowning.

After using his Sixth Soul Skill, his strength had already reached at least the level of a Soul Saint. Yet the Titan Giant Ape before him was completely unharmed.

As the king among beasts, the Titan Giant Ape possessed the most formidable attack and defense.

After the Seven Kill Swords faded, the Titan Giant Ape abruptly opened its eyes.

Liu Yi's expression changed, and he hurriedly jumped down from the Titan Giant Ape's body.

Seeing this, the Titan Giant Ape lowered its body slightly, then suddenly charged forward at a speed of one hundred li per hour. Its enormous fist shot straight toward Liu Yi's chest!

"Not good!" Liu Yi's face drastically changed when he saw the incomparably massive fist before him!

Just as Liu Yi tried to evade the Titan Giant Ape's fist, he suddenly felt as though half his body had been restrained. This was the Titan Giant Ape's Soul Skill-like ability: Gravity Suppression.

Liu Yi did not dare delay. He hurriedly held the Seven Kill Sword horizontally before his chest. With a deafening bang, Liu Yi felt as though his chest had been struck by a carriage, and he was sent flying backward thousands of meters.

His body slammed directly into a stone wall before he finally stopped.

With a thunderous crash, the rock behind Liu Yi instantly shattered, and the scattered stones fell all around like meteors.

"Pfft!"

Liu Yi finally could not hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood. A 100,000 Year Soul Beast like the Titan Giant Ape was simply too powerful.

That single blow had nearly killed him.

If not for his formidable strength, that strike alone would have been enough to kill him without question.

Liu Yi's body was now incomparably tough, even tougher than the body of an ordinary Soul Saint. That was the only reason he had escaped death.

Liu Yi knelt on one knee, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had never expected the Titan Giant Ape to erupt with such violent power, nor that it would specifically target him while ignoring everyone else.

"Teacher Liu Yi!"

Zhu Zhuqing sprinted toward Liu Yi.

Beside her, Ning Rongrong abruptly summoned the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and seven-colored light shone down upon Liu Yi at once.

With Ning Rongrong's support, Liu Yi's complexion improved somewhat. With the help of the Seven Kill Sword, he struggled to his feet.

Looking at Xiao Wu in the distance, he let out a sigh. Since the Titan Giant Ape had been drawn here by Xiao Wu, why was it attacking him instead?

The Titan Giant Ape saw this as well and could not help frowning. Its attack had actually failed to kill Liu Yi. It was truly inconceivable.

It strode forward, but at that moment, Zhao Wuji appeared before it.

"Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
