"If I do not avenge this hatred... I swear I am not human!"

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Sky Azure Bull Python's enormous body floated half-submerged in the center of the lake, while the Titan Giant Ape sat silently on the shore.

Ever since Xiao Wu had been teleported to that unknown place,

the initial agitation had gradually subsided.

Mainly because Xiao Wu had been sent to a region filled with hills, shrubs, and lush aquatic plants,

which seemed to hold no danger.

Even more reassuringly, after merely eating grass a few times, her cultivation had soared all the way upward.

In just a few days, she had actually broken through to the fifty-thousand-year level.

"Da Ming, do you think... once Sister Xiao Wu recovers her hundred-thousand-year cultivation, will she remember the past?"

Er Ming stared at Xiao Wu on the Sky Screen, still looking dazed as she simply lowered her head and ate grass, and asked in a muffled voice.

That appearance

was nothing like a Soul Beast with ten thousand years of cultivation, whose intelligence should have long since awakened.

"When a Soul Beast sacrifices itself, what it sacrifices is not only its cultivation, but also the origin of its soul!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python sighed softly, and ripples spread across the lake with its breath.

"Sister Xiao Wu is so dazed and foolish now because her soul has been damaged!"

"Even if she truly returns to the hundred-thousand-year cultivation level..."

"Perhaps she will improve, but perhaps..."

It did not continue,

but Er Ming understood the unspoken meaning:

the one who returned might no longer be the original Xiao Wu.

"Roar—! It's all Tang San's fault, that bastard!"

Er Ming slammed a fist into the ground, making the trees tremble and rustle.

"Ah, roar roar roar roar! It's all Tang San's fault, that bastard! How hateful!"

"What did Sister Xiao Wu even see in him?!"

Just then—

[Chosen Participant: Soft Bone Charm Rabbit. Consumed Kongming Grass. Cultivation: 50,000 years -> 80,000 years]

The notification from the Sky Screen interrupted their conversation and temporarily dispelled their sorrow.

"Sister Xiao Wu is really lucky. She found another spiritual herb!"

Da Ming forced a smile.

Before the words had even faded, he suddenly sensed something unusual.

In one of the small split screens at the corner of the Sky Screen,

Xiao Wu's figure was unexpectedly shown there as well,

and a bedraggled yet familiar figure was staggering into that area.

"That is... Tang Chen? Why is he there?!"

"That is... Great-Grandfather? Why is he there?"

Tang San also noticed the anomaly. His heart tightened as a sense of foreboding arose.

Tang Chen sprinted through the forest, panicked like a homeless dog.

After being tormented by that little devil in the Red Bellyband, he was truly terrified.

Without looking back, he plunged deep into the forest,

rather facing unknown Ferocious Beasts than encountering that demonic child again.

He suddenly froze.

"Eh... what a familiar aura. This is... a Soul Beast?!"

Tang Chen's gaze swept over the area and landed on a white rabbit half the height of a man not far away.

Entirely different from the surrounding creatures of the Prehistoric World, he clearly sensed the fluctuations of Soul Power on her body,

power that belonged to Douluo Continent.

"Right... among those sent in together back then, there seemed to be a Soul Beast..."

Tang Chen licked his cracked lips,

and a vicious glint flashed through his eyes.

"I can't beat those prehistoric beasts, but wouldn't a tiny Soul Beast be easy to handle?"

He had not had a drop of water in several days and was already starving. This was the perfect chance to satisfy his craving!

Step by step, he approached Xiao Wu, who was still chewing grass with her head lowered, completely unaware of the danger.

He reached out and grabbed through the air—

the white rabbit was seized by an invisible force and fell into his palm.

"She is quite a... lucky rabbit, yet stupid beyond belief!"

Even after rising to eighty thousand years of cultivation, she was still utterly helpless in Tang Chen's grasp.

His fingers tightened slightly.

"Crack."

The white rabbit trembled all over and spat out blood,

her head drooping limply.

"No... no!! Xiao Wu—!!"

Within the Star Dou Great Forest, Er Ming's furious roar shook the heavens, and his eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"Great-Grandfather—don't! Don't hurt Xiao Wu!!!"

Tang San's eyes nearly split apart as his hoarse cry tore from his throat.

[Soul Beast Xiao Wu: Dead!] [Survival Time: 3 days, 19 hours, 12 minutes, 23 seconds] [Cause of Death: Killed by Tang Chen!]

Yet Tang Chen on the Sky Screen could neither hear nor see his great-grandson, who was on the verge of collapse.

"Old bastard... I, Tang San, will kill you... I will kill you!!!"

His blood and qi surged to his heart. Tang San's vision went black, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before pitching forward.

"Third Brother—!!"

"Xiao San!!"

Zhu Zhuqing, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and the others all changed expression and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

But everyone knew that no amount of words could ease the pain now.

On one side was Tang San's unforgettable beloved; on the other was his blood-related great-grandfather.

He was trapped between two impossible choices!

Tang San fainted from rage and anguish,

but in the instant before he lost consciousness,

a flash of insight suddenly struck his mind, and he thought of one possibility:

what he had done by throwing the Blood Swan Kiss

had been exposed.

This was the King of Slaughter, Tang Chen's revenge against him!!

Yes, it had to be!

Destroying Slaughter City and taking revenge on Tang Chen. That was his final thought before losing consciousness!

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao watched Tang Chen skillfully skin the rabbit on the Sky Screen as if struck by lightning, then directly spat out a mouthful of blood.
