Dragon Duke, What Did You Just Say?

Seeing Tang Hao shatter his eighth soul ring and vanish into the horizon like a meteor, Lin Feng could not help but stop his pursuit.

"The methods available to a Two-Character Battle Armor master and a six-ring Soul Emperor are still too limited."

Lin Feng shook his head. If he had a few more Soul Rings, he could likewise erupt with the power of exploding rings, or gain more offensive or restraining methods to keep Tang Hao from leaving.

But for now, he was ultimately only a six-ring Soul Emperor. His Soul Rings looked formidable—formidable enough to fight a Titled Douluo—but if a Titled Douluo with a few tricks up his sleeve was determined to flee from him, he truly had some trouble stopping him.

After all, a Two-Character Battle Armor master only possessed the cultivation of a Spirit Douluo. When it came to powerful soul skills, Lin Feng even had to rely on Xiao Wu's Soul Rings and soul bones.

"Forget it. Tian Meng's side will be ready soon anyway. And with this grudge added in, those six soul bones should come looking for me themselves."

Lin Feng spoke casually. As a Two-Character Battle Armor master, he already possessed strength that left Tang Hao helpless. Once he intercepted the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, gained strength above rank seventy, and completed his Three-Character Battle Armor, he would no longer need to kite Tang Hao around in a battle of attrition.

A million-year Martial Soul Avatar paired with a four-hundred-thousand-year Extreme Ice Soul Bone Skill—when the time came, he could simply kill Tang Hao head-on.

With that thought, Lin Feng prepared to descend. But at that very moment, a gigantic ape crawled toward him on all fours.

"Damn human! Why do you carry Sister Xiao Wu's scent?! What did you do to Sister Xiao Wu?!"

Hearing the soul beast speak human language, everyone traveling through the great forest except Lin Feng felt their legs tremble.

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast! And a Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape at that?"

Dragon Duke, Snake Matriarch, and the others exchanged glances, each seeing the fear in the other's eyes.

According to the information Dragon Duke possessed, that Titan Giant Ape was a soul beast more than sixty thousand years old, an ancient aberrant species with extraordinarily great strength. Even a Titled Douluo would find it quite difficult to defeat it.

And that was only when its cultivation was a little over sixty thousand years. If it were a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, bolstered by its bloodline, even a level ninety-five Titled Douluo might be beaten to death by it.

Everyone felt utter despair. They simply could not understand why obtaining a third Soul Ring had led them to encounter both the Clear Sky Douluo and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Titan Giant Ape.

Lin Feng glanced at the Titan Giant Ape without saying a word. The Soul Rings in the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth positions began to fuse, eventually merging into a blood red Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

This differed from the situation with Tang Hao. Tang Hao was injured; Lin Feng only needed to make his wounds flare up and slowly wear him down until he died. But the Titan Giant Ape was different. It was a completely uninjured Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. In a battle of attrition, a Soul Emperor without a Soul Core would be courting death.

Therefore, when the Titan Giant Ape approached, Lin Feng used Ring Fusion without the slightest hesitation, raising the attack power of Extreme Wind Meteor Kill to the level of a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul skill.

Then, the only Soul Ring not involved in this Ring Fusion—the Sixth Soul Ring—instantly shattered. Terrifying energy flooded directly into Lin Feng's body, causing intense pain in his meridians. Fortunately, as a soul master whose martial soul was his soul, Lin Feng had naturally powerful spiritual strength. Moreover, he had deliberately strengthened his physique over the years, and with the enhancement of his Two-Character Battle Armor, he could barely withstand the damage caused by shattering a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

"Extreme Wind Meteor Kill!"

The shattered Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring unleashed such violent Soul Power that Extreme Wind Meteor Kill instantly completed its charging phase. Carrying terrifying cutting power, it shot straight toward the Titan Giant Ape.

If the Titan Giant Ape possessed soul skills such as Teleportation or Invincible Golden Body, it could have dodged or withstood this attack. Its physical constitution was exceptionally strong, and its strength and innate soul skills were all powerful, but it possessed none of the soul skills like Invincible Golden Body, Teleportation, or Void Clone.

Left with no other choice, the Titan Giant Ape could only take it head-on with its body.

But the problem was that Lin Feng had already used his Two-Character Battle Armor and the second awakening of his Body Martial Soul to raise his Soul Power to a level that barely reached that of a Titled Douluo. And when a Titled Douluo exploded a Soul Ring—especially a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring—the power was something Pope Qian Xunji had plenty to say about.

Of course, in terms of defense, the Titan Giant Ape was certainly stronger than a wielder of the Angel Martial Soul. But even so, it could not defend against a Hundred-Thousand-Year soul skill released with the Soul Power of a Super Douluo, and one above level ninety-five at that!

Especially since Extreme Wind Meteor Kill possessed both single-target focus and charging. Its power could truly be described as terrifying.

Thus, everyone watched as the Extreme Wind Meteor Kill Lin Feng had used to slice through the Titan Giant Ape's body broke through its powerful physical defense the instant it made contact. The body that had once struck fear into countless hearts was cut as easily as paper. Had the Titan Giant Ape not reacted swiftly and dodged at the fastest speed it could manage, it would likely have been sliced in half.

But even though it had not been cut in half, the Titan Giant Ape still had one arm severed by Extreme Wind Meteor Kill, blood pouring from the wound.

"Get lost. When I need a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, I will naturally come to the Star Dou Great Forest to find you."

Lin Feng's cold voice reached the Titan Giant Ape's ears, causing the look in its eyes that had been prepared to perish together to fade considerably.

As a soul beast, it did not understand how Exploding Ring worked. It had taken Lin Feng's previous attack as some ultimate move he could use fairly easily.

Against such a move, it had no confidence in killing Lin Feng. At most, it could only gamble on getting close and perishing together with him.

But Lin Feng's words reminded it that Lin Feng still needed Soul Rings, meaning he would return to the Star Dou Great Forest. And once Lin Feng entered the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, it would be its home ground.

It could not defeat Lin Feng, but its elder brother, the Sky Azure Bull Python, was still in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest!

It could not defeat Lin Feng, but could two soul beasts—its elder brother and itself—still fail to defeat him?

With that thought, the Titan Giant Ape could not help but entertain the idea of retreating.

"Human, I will avenge Sister Xiao Wu sooner or later!"

With that, the Titan Giant Ape cautiously retreated. Once it felt that enough distance separated them, it quickly ran toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

After both Tang Hao and the Titan Giant Ape had left, Lin Feng descended to the ground.

On the ground, Dragon Duke, Snake Matriarch, and the others stood frozen in place. Before they could recover from Tang Hao's flight and Lin Feng's instant defeat of the Titan Giant Ape, Lin Feng's voice suddenly sounded beside the two of them.

"Dragon Duke, what did you just say?"
