Golden Dragon Three Transformations, Activate! Taking On the Forest Overlord, the Titan Giant Ape Head-On!

"Human."

The Sky Azure Bull Python's deep, resonant voice interrupted his thoughts.

Its enormous bull head lowered slightly, its azure eyes filled with scrutiny and profound confusion.

"Why has your Soul Ring mutated into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast one?"

"This is absolutely beyond the capabilities of ordinary Soul Masters, or even Soul Beasts."

Its tone carried the steadiness unique to a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet it could not conceal its astonishment.

Lin Qing reined in his surging emotions.

After considering it, he felt there was nothing worth hiding.

He raised his head to meet the Sky Azure Bull Python's gaze and explained frankly, "This should be caused by the special nature of my Martial Soul."

"The core attribute of my Golden Dragon Martial Soul is 'Ultimate Power.'"

"During the process of absorbing Soul Rings, Ultimate Power seems capable of refining and purifying the energy within the Soul Ring itself."

"It's like smelting Iron Ore into Refined Iron. That's roughly the idea."

"This time, the energy was too immense, so it may have triggered a deeper transformation and forcibly elevated the quality of the Soul Ring."

"Ultimate Power..."

The Sky Azure Bull Python slowly repeated those words. A flicker of understanding passed through its enormous eyes, followed by even deeper emotion.

Human Soul Masters of this era did not understand the concept of Ultimate Attributes.

Yet as a Soul Beast, it deeply understood the weight carried by the word "ultimate."

Any miracle suddenly seemed less surprising.

"Roar! Roar roar!!"

The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, beside them did not have so many complicated thoughts.

Impatiently, he pounded his rock-like chest with his massive fists, producing dull, booming thuds.

His lantern-sized eyes stared fiercely at Lin Qing, filled with eager, provocative challenge.

He raised one forelimb and clumsily yet clearly mimed a collision.

"Roar roar..."

A deep, urging growl rumbled from his throat.

The meaning could not have been clearer: enough talk. Now that you've shown off, let's see what you're really made of!

The Sky Azure Bull Python glanced at his simple-minded, brawny brother, a trace of helplessness flashing through its eyes.

Turning to Lin Qing, it said, "Er Ming says he wants to personally test how far your strength has reached. To see whether you can protect Xiao Wu and Wu'er."

It paused, and an almost imperceptible teasing note entered its voice.

"It seems he is rather unconvinced by how you bound the Thousand Jun Ant Emperor earlier, as well as this strange Soul Ring mutation. Or perhaps he is simply extremely curious."

Hearing that, Lin Qing was delighted rather than alarmed.

A blazing fighting spirit flared in his eyes!

"Just what I wanted!"

He laughed loudly, his voice brimming with confidence.

"I've just gained this new power, and I've got nowhere to vent all this strength. I was looking for a worthy opponent to properly test myself against!"

He truly wanted to know just how terrifying his strength had become under the horrifying combination of Golden Dragon Three Transformations and three layers of Thousand Jun Dragon Power.

The Titan Giant Ape before him, the Forest Overlord renowned for limitless strength, was the perfect touchstone and measuring tool.

One had to know that ordinary Titled Douluo might not even be worth mentioning before Er Ming.

Even a Level 95 Super Douluo would have to struggle immensely to take him down.

"Er Ming."

Lin Qing crooked a finger at the Titan Giant Ape, his smile brilliant.

"Then you'd better be careful!"

The Soul Power within his body seemed to hear a charge horn and instantly boiled over!

Three Blood-colored Soul Rings shone!

All enhancement Soul Skills activated without reservation.

"Golden Dragon Three Transformations, activate!"

"Thousand Jun Dragon Power, third layer, activate!"

"Boom—!!!"

Invisible yet incomparably heavy shackles within his body snapped and shattered in succession.

Lin Qing's previously restrained aura erupted like an ignited powder keg, exploding outward and soaring madly!

A visible wave of pale gold air, mixed with a Blood Halo, violently burst outward in a ring.

The dazzling golden light was no longer contained. It erupted as though a sun had exploded within his body.

His entire figure was illuminated like a divine statue cast from pure gold.

The muscles across his body visibly swelled and bulged beneath the golden radiance.

His once well-fitting clothes stretched taut, on the verge of tearing apart.

The fine golden Dragon Scale patterns beneath his skin flashed madly with unprecedented brilliance.

"Roar—!"

Pure Dragon Might that made souls tremble spread through the air like tangible pressure.

His arms underwent the greatest transformation.

Blinding golden light gathered.

With a soft pop, the sleeves around both his arms instantly shattered into fragments.

What emerged were two savage, flawless golden Dragon Arms, overflowing with the primal beauty of violence!

From shoulders to the backs of his hands, they were completely covered in hard, magnificent golden Dragon Scales.

His five fingers transformed into sharp Dragon Claws.

The Golden Dragon Arms' contours brimmed with explosive power.

Simply looking at them was enough to feel the terrifying brute force within, capable of leveling mountains and splitting peaks!

Even the surrounding air emitted overwhelmed humming sounds.

Terrifying power radiated from Lin Qing, making the earth beneath his feet begin to tremble faintly.

At that moment, even the Sky Azure Bull Python's massive body instinctively tensed slightly.

The gravity in its enormous azure eyes had never been stronger.

It could clearly sense a dangerous aura from this tiny human that could threaten it!

Rather than being frightened, the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, became excited to the extreme.

"Roar—!!!"

He threw back his head and let out an earth-shaking roar!

The purest, fiercest flames of fighting spirit burned in his enormous eyes.

The challenge of power emanating from this tiny figure completely ignited the bloodlust and competitive instinct belonging to a Forest Overlord deep within his bloodline.

"Roar!"

Er Ming waited no longer, nor did he make any attempt to probe.

His mountain-sized fist, carrying the simplest and most ultimate aesthetics of violence—the power to crush everything—descended with a dull, terrifying howl toward the golden-glowing Lin Qing below!

Before the fist even arrived,

the pressure it carried had already crushed the ground around Lin Qing into a depression.

"Good! I've been waiting for you!"

Golden glow flashed wildly in Lin Qing's Dragon Eyes.

The muscles of his Dragonified right arm suddenly bulged as he likewise threw a completely straightforward punch upward!

What he wanted was the purest, most primal, most blood-boiling clash of strength!

To see whether the Forest Overlord's power was more terrifying, or whether his Golden Dragon Power, enhanced by multiple horrifying boosts, was superior!

The two vastly different-sized fists, both containing power capable of destroying heaven and earth, collided explosively in midair the next instant!

"Boom—!!!"

The deafening sound that erupted in that instant had already surpassed the realm of ordinary noise!

It was more like the dull explosion caused by a meteor crashing into the heart of the earth!

Solidified ring-shaped sound waves became invisible sickles, sweeping outward from the point of collision with a sharp swish!

Within several hundred meters, every tree as thick as a bowl was snapped cleanly in half.

Wood chips flew everywhere!

Even thicker ancient trees were shaken until their branches and leaves rained down wildly, trembling violently.
