Dragon God Claw, Xiao Wu's Early Transformation
In the distance, Qian Xunji and Xia Yang's two groups, who were fleeing for their lives, were terrified upon hearing the sound, and their escape speed increased by a factor of three.
"Dragon God Claw!"
Di Tian was furious. He instantly swept his Divine Sense across the area surrounding the Lake of Life and caught the remaining traces of its presence.
Without hesitation, he swung his claw out in mid-air in the direction Xia Yang and the others had fled.
This claw tore through space, traversing dozens of miles, and suddenly appeared behind Xia Yang and the other two.
"Blue Silver True Body!"
"Blue Silver Overlord Spear!"
Ah Yin reacted first, instantly activating her Martial Soul Avatar, conjuring a golden spear in her hand for her strongest attack, and throwing it backward with all her might.
"The Sea Dragon Real Body!"
"Ninth Soul Skill, Raging Fire Cold Current Break!"
The Sea Dragon Douluo erupted almost simultaneously, their Martial Soul manifesting, and the immense Soul Power intertwined with ice and fire transformed into a torrent, meeting the sky-covering dragon claw.
However, the gap between the two sides was simply too large.
The two people's strongest Soul Skill collided with the black dragon claw, like ice and snow meeting boiling oil. They couldn't even withstand it for a moment before collapsing with a roar.
The dragon's claws continued their relentless advance, casting a shadow of death.
"Soul Bone Skill, Titan's Body! Titan's Power!"
Xia Yang's eyes turned bloodshot, his muscles bulged, his skin gleamed like rock, and his strength instantly surged to its peak.
He knew that ordinary Soul Skill were useless, and with a flash of golden light in his right hand, the Sea God Trident was instantly in his grasp.
"Sixth Soul Skill: Invincible Golden Body!"
The brief golden light protecting him bought Xia Yang a moment to gather his strength.
"The Sea God Thirteen Styles, Never to Return!"
He poured all his strength into the artifact, channeling his surging Soul Power and Titan's Power into it, and fiercely thrust it towards the dragon claw that was about to destroy everything!
The golden Halberd Light clashed fiercely with the jet-black dragon claw.
"Boom--!!!"
A deafening explosion rang out, and a terrifying shockwave spread wildly outwards from the point of impact.
Within a radius of a kilometer, towering ancient trees were uprooted and torn to pieces like straw, and a huge crater was blasted into the ground, with smoke and dust billowing into the sky.
After this attack, the Star Dou Great Forest will likely have another lake.
"Puff!"
Amidst the smoke and dust, Xia Yang coughed up blood, his face turned ashen, and his life force instantly waned.
Having withstood Di Tian's full-force attack, Xia Yang was immediately severely injured.
Ah Yin and Sea Dragon Douluo, one on each side, hurriedly supported Xia Yang. They didn't even have time to check his injuries before transforming into two streaks of light and fleeing towards the distant horizon at top speed.
On the Lake of Life, Di Tian slowly withdrew his dragon claws.
On the palm of his claw, a faint golden scar was slowly fading away, and the lingering divine aura caused his pupils to shrink slightly.
"You bastard!"
Di Tian cursed angrily, saying, "That thief is actually the successor of the Sea God! No wonder he survived my attack."
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Beside him, Dark Gold Fear Claw Bear, its body the size of a small mountain, asked in a deep, thunderous voice.
Di Tian's eyes flashed with cold light, his anger still burning. He said, "What else can we do? Pass down the order: mobilize all the tamable Spirit Beast in the forest and search!"
"Even if I have to search the entire Star Dou Great Forest, I will find the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for me!"
"Yes!"
The order was relayed swiftly.
Moments later, the Star Dou Great Forest was completely "boiling".
Driven by high-level Spirit Beast, countless Spirit Beast began a massive search. Deep roars and running sounds echoed through the dense forest, plunging the once relatively tranquil forest into unprecedented turmoil and chaos.
Several days later, Xia Yang and his two companions, all seriously injured, escaped the Star Dou Great Forest unharmed.
Qian Xunji and his four companions managed to escape, albeit in a rather disheveled state.
Meanwhile, in another extremely secluded corner of the forest, two Soft Bone Charming Rabbit who had successfully escaped listened to the restlessness and roars of the Spirit Beast constantly coming from the depths of the forest, their hearts filled with lingering fear.
They never imagined that so many terrifying beings, some over 100,000 years old, were hidden beneath the Lake of Life.
Now, even in the area once considered their home, the Lake of Life, they dare not approach it even a step further.
The vast Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have become fraught with danger overnight, with no safe place left.
On the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest, a Soul Hunting Town, dedicated to providing supplies for Soul Master, was thriving.
A young girl, carrying a baby girl wrapped in soft swaddling clothes, slowly emerged from the edge of the deep forest and stepped into the town's streets.
The girl's face was still quite young, yet she possessed a composure beyond her years. She looked around and her gaze fell on an open-air stall with simple tables and chairs, then she walked over.
"Boss, some food, please."
The girl spoke softly, her voice clear and crisp.
"Alright! Please have a seat, Miss, I'll be right there!"
The stall owner, a middle-aged man, responded enthusiastically upon hearing this and quickly wiped a clean table out for him.
Having operated in this Soul Hunting Town for many years, he had long since developed a keen eye for talent.
The girl before me was neatly dressed and breathing steadily. She had emerged from the perilous forest alone with an infant without looking disheveled. She was definitely not from an ordinary family.
Most of them are young ladies from a large family or sect, out hunting for Spirit Ring or for training.
He had seen many guests like this before and knew that one should not judge a book by its cover, so he treated them with utmost respect.
Soon, several steaming hot, simple snacks and congee were served.
Afterwards, the shop owner wisely stepped aside and stopped bothering the girl.
The girl picked up a spoon and carefully blew on some of the porridge to cool it down, seemingly preparing to feed the baby in her arms.
Just then, the little girl blinked her bright eyes and asked in her childish voice, "Mommy, where are we going now?"
The girl paused, a hint of helplessness on her face, and said in a low voice, "Xiao Wu, how many times have I told you, don't call me 'Mom' outside, call me 'Sister'."
"Oh, I see, Sister Rou."
The little girl, Xiao Wu, readily changed her address and looked adorable.
It turns out that the two, one big and one small, are actually two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soft Bone Rabbit who have transformed into human form: the mother Ah Rou, and her daughter, Xiao Wu.
Months ago, the earth-shattering changes at the Lake of Life and the furious roars of Super Soul Beast like Di Tian made them realize that the Core Region Star Dou Great Forest was no longer a safe place.
Therefore, in order to completely avoid the gaze of Ferocious Beast and other dangers, they ultimately decided to transform into human form ahead of schedule and integrate into the human world.
After quickly finishing her meal, Ah Rou began to think about where to go next.
Having limited knowledge of the geography of the human world, she called her boss over again and asked him questions in detail.
Thanks to the constant stream of Soul Master coming and going from the Soul Hunting Town, the shopkeeper was indeed well-informed and quickly explained the surrounding situation.
This place is located on the outer edge of the Border Mountains, in the frontier region of the Vast Sea Kingdom.
If you head northwest, you will enter the territory of the Vast Sea Kingdom, and the nearest major city is Notting City.
If you head northeast, you will enter the Balak Kingdom, whose famous major city is Suotuo City.
