Limit Douluo, Five Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts

"Death Spider Emperor, to think you would dare set foot in our territory. How fitting; let us choose you for Ah Rou's ninth soul ring."

A cyan radiance ignited from the body of the Sky Azure Bull Python, instantly shrouding a radius of over a thousand meters. This cyan light was the Sky Azure Bull Python's innate domain: the Slow Domain.

"Number Two."

An earthy-yellow light flared, intertwining with the cyan glow as the Titan Giant Ape likewise released his innate domain: the Gravity Domain.

The Titan Giant Ape, the Sky Azure Bull Python, Ah Rou, and Xiao Wu had all clashed with the Death Spider Emperor before. They knew exactly how difficult it was to kill her; her innate soul skills were practically all focused on survival. Even when the four of them—all hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—had attacked together, they had still allowed the Death Spider Emperor to escape.

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were deploying their innate domains in tandem to suppress the Death Spider Emperor, specifically to prevent her from slipping away.

The Death Spider Emperor gave a sinister laugh. "Bullying the few with the many again? It is a pity that this time, this Emperor has also invited someone along."

Golden light flickered, crashing into the Slow Domain and the Gravity Domain, forcing both of them to recede.

Qian Daoliu unfurled six wings from his back and descended beside Bibi Zhu.

"I will handle the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python; leave these two rabbits to you. Do not kill them."

The Death Spider Emperor asked, "You want the soul rings and soul bones of these two rabbits?"

Qian Daoliu gave a slight nod. One should not be wasteful; hundred-thousand-year soul rings were indeed precious. The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were too massive; even if he could capture them and bring them back to Martial Soul Hall, there was no suitable place to imprison them. There was no choice but to slaughter them and take their soul bones back.

Xiao Wu's size was not excessive; she could easily be kept in captivity. As for Ah Rou, who had already transformed into human form, that went without saying.

"Human!" the Sky Azure Bull Python roared. "Death Spider Emperor, you traitor, to actually side with a human!"

Creatures capable of producing soul rings and soul bones are collectively known as soul beasts. Although the soul beast clan often kills one another, when faced with the catastrophe of extinction, various soul beast races would gather to launch beast tides in resistance.

Therefore, the Death Spider Emperor did not refute the Sky Azure Bull Python's accusation of being a traitor. In her heart, she merely sneered; she had found a path to becoming a divine beast, so who cared about common soul beasts like them?

Beneath Qian Daoliu's feet, nine soul rings—eight black and one red—emerged. He released the aura of a Limit Douluo without reservation. The terrifying pressure and astonishing soul ring configuration left the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, Xiao Wu, and Ah Rou stunned for a moment.

In the next instant, the eyes of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python bulged as they spat blood; their chests had been struck by two golden fist imprints.

The Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python were sent flying, soaring from one end of the Life Lake to the other, their massive bodies slamming heavily into the ground.

BOOM!

The earth shook and the mountains swayed; a vast amount of vegetation was shattered, dust surged into the sky, and the waters of the Life Lake churned.

"Da Ming! Er Ming!"

Ah Rou and Xiao Wu screamed.

Qian Daoliu took flight, once again slaughtering his way toward the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.

The feeling of disgust that had constantly welled up in the Death Spider Emperor's heart faded, and her strength recovered.

Because the Six-Winged Angel had zero tolerance for evil, unless the Death Spider Emperor's bloodline evolved to a level equal to the Six-Winged Angel, the Angel Domain released by Qian Daoliu would simply purify the Death Domain entirely. It would then exert pressure on the Death Spider Emperor, causing her strength to plummet, making it impossible for her to interweave her innate domain with others to resist the enemy as the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python had done.

"Soft Bone Rabbit, your death day has arrived!"

The Death Spider Emperor released her Death Domain, shrouding Ah Rou and Xiao Wu. The strength of the woman and the beast instantly dropped by thirty percent. Furthermore, the toxic death energy followed their breathing, continuously entering their bodies and slowly poisoning them, causing their strength to weaken further.

The Death Spider Emperor's lower body receded, and six spider spears sprouted from her torso. Her fair, slender arms also transformed into two spider spears as she reverted to her original soul beast form.

Only in her original soul beast form could the Death Spider Emperor exert one hundred percent of her strength.

Ah Rou barked angrily, "Death Spider Emperor, do you even know what you are doing?"

The Death Spider Emperor sneered, "Of course I do. This Emperor is taking revenge, and this Emperor is stepping onto a path with infinite prospects. You fake soul beast, stop your yapping."

Transformed soul beasts could be said to be rejected by both humans and soul beasts; humans wanted to slaughter them to obtain hundred-thousand-year soul rings and soul bones, believing that a beast is always a beast, while the soul beast collective did not view transformed soul beasts as true soul beasts.

As the words fell, the Death Spider Emperor lunged, her eight sickle-like spider legs stabbing toward Ah Rou. Compared to Xiao Wu, her grudge against Ah Rou was deeper.

"Mother!"

Xiao Wu immediately teleported in front of Ah Rou, golden light flickering over her entire body as she released her Invincible Golden Body, blocking the Death Spider Emperor's stabs.

With a flash of pink light, Ah Rou also activated her teleportation soul skill, appearing behind the Death Spider Emperor. She grabbed the Death Spider Emperor's massive abdomen, turned upside down, and exerted force from her waist; the opening move of the Explosive Eight-Stage Throw was ready.

If Ah Rou were facing any other soul beast, this move might have landed, but unfortunately, she was facing the Death Spider Emperor. On the Douluo Continent, spiders are the natural nemesis of rabbits.

The Death Spider Emperor's abdomen bulged slightly, and a sticky purple web was sprayed out, covering Ah Rou. The web emitted a peculiar fragrance and was saturated with deadly poison.

Ah Rou was forced to abandon the Explosive Eight-Stage Throw and activate her teleportation soul skill once more to dodge the web.

Under the amplification of her domain, the Death Spider Emperor's strength had officially climbed to that of a 96th-rank human Titled Douluo. Xiao Wu could contend with a 95th-rank human Titled Douluo, but under the suppression of the domain, she could only exert the combat power of a 93rd-rank Titled Douluo. Ah Rou had 90th-rank cultivation but had not yet obtained her ninth soul ring; while she was a quasi-Titled Douluo, in reality, she could only be considered a Soul Douluo. Weakened by the Death Domain, she could only exert the strength of a low-level Soul Douluo.

Combined with the Death Spider Emperor being the natural nemesis of rabbits, after a brief exchange, Xiao Wu and Ah Rou were already in precarious situations, constantly relying on the Invincible Golden Body to save their lives.

"Aunt Rou! Big Sister Xiao Wu!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python sensed the dire situation of Ah Rou and Xiao Wu and roared. Large amounts of cold air sprayed from his thick nostrils as he glared fixedly at Qian Daoliu, lightning flickering on his bull head.

"Human, why are you helping the Death Spider Emperor!" the dim-witted Titan Giant Ape asked foolishly, assuming Qian Daoliu was helping the Death Spider Emperor take revenge.

"I am helping her, but I am also helping myself. Have you forgotten your identities? I cannot take your soul rings, but your soul bones are still quite delicious."

Seeing the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, whose chests had collapsed from his strike, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but sigh at the tenacity of soul beasts; if this injury had been inflicted on Little Ji-Ji, he would already be lying in bed.

"Number Two, stop the nonsense! Azure Sky Annihilation Thunder!" The Sky Azure Bull Python let out a sharp, bovine roar. Cyan-green thunder originated from his bull head and surged rapidly in all directions, sweeping past the Titan Giant Ape.

"Titan Giant Star!"

The Titan Giant Ape followed closely, slamming his fists heavily into the ground.
