However, since they were searching for a Sub-Dragon Type Soul Beast this time, and one that was only close to two thousand years old at that, the difficulty was a little greater.
Moreover, the commotion caused by Xiao Tian's breakthrough in Sword Intent had been too great. It would likely attract the attention of some high-year Soul Beasts, so they had to pick up the pace.
Flender cautiously said to Oscar, "Xiao Ao, from now on, keep making Flying Mushroom Sausages. Have Shao Xin make Sugar Beans to restore your Soul Power. Make more, in case something unexpected happens later."
Although Oscar was somewhat confused, he still did as instructed.
But at that moment, Flender, Zhao Wuji, and the others' expressions abruptly changed. They shouted, "Xiao Ao, quickly give everyone a Flying Mushroom Sausage! Hurry!"
Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma also summoned their Martial Souls, staring tensely at the dense thicket ahead.
"Huh?"
But Oscar clearly had yet to react.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A tremendous rumble drew closer from afar. A gigantic ape, as large as a mountain, roughly fifteen meters tall and over seven meters across the shoulders, emerged from the trees.
"It's... it's the King of the Forest, the Titan Giant Ape!"
Cold sweat immediately streamed down Zhao Wuji's face.
But that was not all. Behind the Titan Giant Ape, another enormous creature with the head of an ox and the body of a snake appeared!
Roar!
When Xiao Tian saw the Sky Azure Bull Python following behind the Titan Giant Ape, he froze slightly.
Fuck!
Why was this different from what he had expected? Why was the Sky Azure Bull Python appearing here alongside the Titan Giant Ape?!
Yet the system prompt in his mind indicated that he had not seen wrong!
Ding! Warning! Warning! The host has encountered Divine Official Niu Tian and Divine Official Titan. The two are loyal followers of God King Tang and carry Divine Sense bestowed by God King Tang. Their strength is unfathomable. Host, please seize an opportunity and flee immediately!
Xiao Tian: ...
Xiao Tian felt deeply helpless at that moment. He had forgotten that the system had arrived early. If he encountered Da Ming Er Ming, it would naturally issue a warning.
But... but his current strength was simply no match for Da Ming Er Ming. That meant he could not obtain the system's Critical Strike Reward from them!
And honestly, while he had roughly deduced that the system came from ten thousand years in the future, he truly could not figure out exactly how many tens of thousands of years into the future it was from!
In the God Realm, Da Ming and Er Ming possessed Divine Power but no God Position.
Though the two had initially only been Divine Officials in the God Realm, the strength they later displayed could basically be confirmed to be at the level of Second-rank Deities. It could be said that the gap between them and people like Dai Mubai was not very great. (I haven't read past Douluo 3, so I looked this up. If it's wrong, just treat it as fanfiction~~)
Xiao Wu's little head was filled with huge confusion. Hadn't Brother Xiao Tian predicted that Er Ming would come?
She then looked at Xiao Tian beside her. Seeing his calm expression, Xiao Wu immediately understood. This must have been within Brother's expectations too, right?
He really was amazing!
At that moment, Xiao Wu had no idea just how shocked Xiao Tian was inside!
They had merely sensed Xiao Wu's aura. Was there really any need for two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts to appear at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest at once?
Thus, Xiao Wu quickly transmitted her voice to Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, some of these people are my companions. Don't attack them. Later, we'll pretend to fight. Find a suitable chance and take me and my brother away."
"The young man beside me holding a pitch-black sword Martial Soul is a brother I met in the human world. As for why, I'll explain it to you later."
"Oh, right. Take this opportunity to give me a good beating..."
Er Ming scratched his enormous head, somewhat unable to understand. Sister Xiao Wu had spoken too quickly. How had she gone out into the human world for only a few years and already acknowledged a brother?
Er Ming still had not quite reacted. His reflexes were far too slow.
Da Ming's enormous eyes fixed on Xiao Tian for a brief moment.
Why was this human before them Sister Xiao Wu's brother?
And judging by the situation, this human already knew that Sister Xiao Wu was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form.
Could Sister Xiao Wu have been deceived by this human?
At that thought, Da Ming's heart sank.
He wanted to crush Xiao Tian to death right then and there, but he knew he could not do that. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain to Sister Xiao Wu.
Therefore, he decided to follow Sister Xiao Wu's instructions first and teach those men who had spoken disrespectfully to her a lesson!
As for Xiao Tian, there would be plenty of time later to interrogate him properly!
Standing beside Xiao Wu, Xiao Tian naturally noticed Da Ming's scrutiny, but he did not care. A righteous man need not fear a crooked shadow!
Facing the two colossal creatures, Flender felt his body grow incomparably stiff.
"Why would the Titan Giant Ape appear at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest?!"
Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma wore disbelieving expressions as they shielded Meng Yiran behind them, ready to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill at any time.
They knew full well that safely escaping from the Titan Giant Ape's grasp was nearly impossible. At the very least, they had to find an opportunity for their granddaughter to escape!
"Yiran, the two of us will hold these Soul Beasts back later. You must seize the chance to leave!"
Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma spoke to Meng Yiran with grave expressions. Neither of them had any intention of surviving.

Fighting with All Their Might, Piercing the Tailbone ### Meng Yiran said unwillingly, "No! I want to stay with you!"
But Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma had no time to care about her now. Just as they were about to use their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Yu Xiaogang cried out in disbelief from the side, "Th-this... this is the Sky Azure Bull Python!"
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, his body could not stop trembling.
"It's over, it's all over! The Sky Azure Bull Python is even more terrifying than the Titan Giant Ape. Why have the two of them appeared together?"
Yu Xiaogang's mind was a complete mess at that moment, utterly incapable of thinking.
Tang San and the others also prepared to fight, because they knew that faced with the attacks of two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, they had no strength to escape!
Zhao Wuji: "Seventh Soul Skill, Martial Soul Avatar!"
Flender: "Seventh Soul Skill, Owl True Body!"
Both of them felt like cursing at that moment. With their strength, if they wanted to flee while the two great Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts had yet to get serious, there was still the slightest possibility. But they had reasons why they could not run!
Setting Yu Xiaogang aside, they could not abandon Ning Rongrong and Tang San alone. One was the Little Princess of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, while the other was the son of Clear Sky Douluo!
As for Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Mubai's backgrounds, neither of them considered them much of an issue. The Star Luo Imperial Family and the Zhu Family could not trace them here; their reach was not that long!
But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Clear Sky Douluo were existences they could not afford to provoke!
Some might say, couldn't they simply find somewhere to hide?
That would only mean they were thinking too simply.
As one of the Top Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not only rich enough to rival a nation, but its intelligence network could be said to cover every corner of the empire.
They might evade them for a while, but they could not hide forever.
Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Shao Xin, and the others who had no backing were directly ignored by Flender and Zhao Wuji.
Snake Grandma: "Serpent Cane!"
Dragon Duke: "Dragon Staff!"
The two: "Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Dragon Snake Strike!"
Immediately, a colossal dragon interwoven with azure and yellow rose spiraling into the air. Beside it were Flender's Four-Eyed Owl and Zhao Wuji's Great Strength Vajra Bear.
One dragon, one bear, and one owl confronted the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python.
Shao Xin also knew that this was not the time to hold back. Only by going all out would they have any hope of escaping alive!
"Seventh Soul Skill, Bean True Body!"
After activating his Martial Soul Avatar, both the speed at which he made Sugar Beans and their effects increased by forty percent. Immediately afterward, the other six Soul Rings on his body all lit up.
Sweet Bean for Soul Power and stamina, Speed Bean, Tough Bean, Attack Bean, Healing Bean, and the Black Bean bestowed by his sixth Soul Skill.
After consuming a Black Bean, the power of one's next attack would increase by thirty percent.
Shao Xin was actually somewhat helpless. A Food System Soul Master like him was not particularly suited to supporting a small number of people, because the amplification ratio was not very high...
At that moment, he dearly wished Ning Rongrong were a seven-ring Soul Sage. If that were the case, with the amplification of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, their chances of escape would be much greater.
Six different Sugar Beans swiftly fell into everyone's hands.
Since the Sugar Beans were small, everyone kept the Healing Bean and stuffed the other five into their mouths in one go.
They had to use every bit of their strength!
"Seven Treasures Famous, First: Power! Second: Speed!"
Two rays of seven-colored light immediately entered the azure-yellow dragon.
In an instant, Ning Rongrong's Soul Power was completely exhausted. Her face turned slightly pale, and she fainted, only for Zhu Zhuqing to catch her in her arms.
While the amplification from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda still remained, Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma immediately unleashed their strongest strike!
"Poison Dragon Flame!"
A stream of green fire spewed from the dragon's mouth, charging directly toward the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python!
One was a Soul Emperor and the other a Soul Douluo. Their Martial Soul Fusion Skill already possessed the power of a low-level Titled Douluo. With the support of Shao Xin and Ning Rongrong, this was their strongest attack, its power approaching Rank 95!
Da Ming and Er Ming had not expected Sister Xiao Wu's group to possess such capable people. This did manage to pique their interest slightly.
"Gravity Domain!"
"Slowness Domain!"
As the two Domains opened, everyone felt their bodies suddenly sink. Tang San and the others with weaker strength were even pressed directly to the ground, unable to move at all, while Flender's owl could barely maintain low-altitude flight.
This was worlds apart from Zhao Wuji's gravity Soul Skill!
"Er Ming, don't be careless. I'll leave this to you!"
Da Ming spoke faintly, then turned his attention to Xiao Tian, the human Sister Xiao Wu had acknowledged.
To make things look more convincing, the two had made their Domains attack indiscriminately. Under normal circumstances, Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu should also have been crushed to the point of struggling to breathe beneath Er Ming's Gravity Domain.
Yet Da Ming could see that though Xiao Tian's legs were bent halfway and cold sweat continuously ran down his face, he still gritted his teeth and stubbornly stared at Da Ming and Er Ming.
Xiao Tian naturally noticed Da Ming's gaze at that moment, directly taking it as Da Ming and Er Ming provoking him.
Of course, that thought vanished in an instant, because Xiao Wu was likewise affected by the two Domains, and his other hand was tightly supporting her.
Thus, he was completely unable to move at that moment as well.
Although he had deliberately allowed Xiao Wu to meet Da Ming and Er Ming, the two beasts now knew that he was aware of Xiao Wu's identity. If he did not display at least some strength, merely relying on Xiao Wu to plead for him from the side would probably have little effect.
When Tang San saw that Xiao Tian and Xiao Wu were actually able to withstand the Domain's pressure, and saw how intimate they were, he felt as if his heart were about to shatter.
"Aaaah!"
Eight Spider Lances!
In an instant, boosted by the Eight Spider Lances, all of Tang San's attributes increased drastically, and he shakily stood up.
Er Ming, who was using the Titan Sky Cannon to resist the Poison Dragon Flame, narrowed his large eyes slightly.
Though he had weakened the Domain's effect out of fear of hurting Sister Xiao Wu, this was still not something Soul Elders like Tang San and Xiao Tian could endure!
Da Ming withdrew his gaze. He did not intend to let the battle drag on any longer. This was not the purpose of their visit. Immediately, his pressure surged, and he likewise exhaled a stream of Dragon Breath.
In an instant, Dragon Duke and Snake Grandma's Poison Dragon Flame, along with Flender and the others' supporting attacks, were all reduced to nothing.
The energy from the collision of both sides' attacks scattered in every direction. Some of it even shot toward Xiao Tian, Dai Mubai, and the others.
By sheer coincidence, a streak of energy, deliberately or otherwise, landed on Yu Xiaogang's tailbone and pierced straight through it...
