Deep into the Star Dou? Audacious to the Extreme

BOOM!

It sounded like a thunderclap. Within the terrifying explosion, halos of light rippled outward, shattering mountains and splitting the earth. Accompanied by the roars of fierce beasts and furious shouts, the scene was truly horrifying.

A brief silence followed, and the winds died down.

But this calm was shattered almost immediately, replaced by an even more fearsome storm that swept across the heavens and the earth.

"Young Miss, hurry, leave!"

Two figures arrived in a disheveled state, tearing through the air and landing heavily beside Qian Renxue. They were none other than Puffer Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, who had gone to intercept the elder from the God-Demon Realm!

"The Titan Giant Ape has appeared! It emerged from the Forbidden Land and nearly clashed with us!"

Both men were deathly pale.

Seeing that Qian Renxue was unharmed, they finally let out a sigh of relief.

The one who spoke was Snake Lance Douluo. His luxurious robes were now in tatters, his soul power fluctuated violently, and his breathing was ragged; he looked quite wretched.

The strength of the Starry Sky People far exceeded their imagination. Not only were their methods endless, but they were also like gods and demons, suppressing them throughout the entire encounter. Had the Titan Giant Ape not appeared at the final moment, they likely would have been buried in the Star Dou Great Forest today.

"It is truly hard to imagine. Even though they feel like they are on the same level... they even rely on other methods just to fly, yet their strength is so terrifying. Even Clear Sky Douluo would likely be no match for them!"

Puffer Douluo had yet to recover his senses. Chills continued to rise from the depths of his heart, and now, looking at Qin Chuan, he felt a sense of dread.

"You two Crowned Ones are truly diligent. If not for Qin Chuan coming to my rescue, I do not know where I would be right now."

Qian Renxue spoke coldly, her tone heavy with suppressed anger, stern and severe. This was her most authentic self.

The gentleness she showed when with Qin Chuan was, in the end, fleeting and illusory. Her world had always been black and white, where everything was prioritized by interest.

This was the knowledge she had learned in the palace over a long period.

If it were not so, she would have been discovered by the Heaven Dou Empire long ago and would never have made it this far.

The two Douluo stiffened, cold sweat instantly pouring down their backs as they hurriedly knelt to plead for mercy.

"Young Miss, please forgive us! We did not intend to be late; it is just that the Starry Sky Person was unimaginably powerful. We were simply no match for them!"

Only then did they recall that when they had left the opponent earlier, there were still several Soul Saints and Soul Emperors on the other side, and cold sweat broke out across their skin.

However, upon hearing that those Soul Saints and Soul Emperors had seemingly been dealt with by Qin Chuan alone, a look of astonishment flashed through their eyes.

Thinking of this, the two were struck with immense shock!

"Uh, Sister Xue, you shouldn't blame them. The battle broke out in an instant; no one could have predicted that the old fellow would be so powerful!"

Qin Chuan spoke at the right moment, calmly smoothing things over for the two.

"Hmph!"

Qian Renxue let out a cold snort. She did not punish them; after all, they were her subordinates, and her anger had dissipated somewhat.

"Right, two seniors, you said the Titan Giant Ape appeared. What about that fellow named Luo Lie? What happened to him?" Qin Chuan asked curiously, wanting to know how the situation had developed and if it matched their predictions.

"After the Titan Giant Ape appeared, our battle was forced to a halt. Puffer and I were concerned for the Young Miss's safety and took the opportunity to escape. However, that fellow ended up fighting the Titan Giant Ape. I don't know what happened after that."

Snake Lance Douluo shook his head. He now held an inexplicable sense of importance toward Qin Chuan, so he answered immediately.

"As expected. Sister Xue, do you want to see a grand show?" Qin Chuan smiled and asked Qian Renxue.

"What grand show? What bad ideas are you cooking up again?" Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes shimmered with an unusual light, like a galaxy, manifesting the nobility of an empress.

"You'll know when the time comes." Qin Chuan gave a confident smile, then turned to Puffer Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo. "I will have to trouble you two from here on out."

"Now, head toward the Forbidden Land of the Star Dou Great Forest. Move!"

"What? The depths of the Star Dou Great Forest?" Qian Renxue was slightly startled. They had only just managed to get out of the core circle, and now they were going back in? And to the Forbidden Land at the very center? What on earth was this guy trying to do?

"Sister Xue, trust me, nothing will go wrong!" Qin Chuan looked at Qian Renxue. The confidence in his eyes made her heart skip a beat, and she quickly looked away.

"I do trust you, but the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest are too dangerous. At least tell me what you are planning to do!"

"I am going to find the Sky Azure Bull Python!" Qin Chuan said with a smile. His tone was relaxed, but it gave the three of them a shock.

"You are going to..." After a moment of stunned silence, Qian Renxue finally understood what was in Qin Chuan's mind, but she still couldn't be sure. To associate with a fierce beast, this...

"That's right."

"You really are daring!" Qian Renxue was speechless and found it hard to accept. However, meeting Qin Chuan's confident and firm gaze, she found herself inexplicably unable to refute him.

"Two seniors, lead the way!" Seeing Qian Renxue's attitude, Qin Chuan smiled with satisfaction and turned his gaze toward the two.

Puffer Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo were at a loss. They didn't understand what Qin Chuan was trying to do and were full of resistance toward entering the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. However, seeing Qian Renxue nod, they didn't press for answers and had no choice but to head out.

But they were still thinking to themselves.

Seeking the hundred-thousand-year fierce beast emperor, the Sky Azure Bull Python?

This was simply insane!

Since ancient times, human soul masters had always hunted fierce beasts; no one had ever dared to actively seek out the two great beasts lurking in the depths of the forest!

Perhaps...

Puffer Douluo glanced at Qin Chuan, remembering the elder beside the brocade-clad youth, and his heart suddenly chilled.

Could it be that this guy also had an unfathomable guardian hidden by his side?

The terrifying battle never ceased, with streams of light flashing intermittently across a vast area, causing destruction that felt world-shattering and truly fearsome.

To remain hidden, Qin Chuan specifically instructed the two Titled Douluo to stop when they passed the perimeter of the battlefield, choosing to sneak through on the ground instead.

Only after putting a significant distance between themselves and the conflict, ensuring they would not be detected, did they take to the skies once more to travel by air.

Although their speed was slower, it was exceptionally safe, and under the protection of the two Titled Douluo, the group arrived safely at the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest—the legendary Forbidden Land.

"Such dense essence of heaven and earth; cultivating here would yield twice the result with half the effort!"

Qin Chuan exclaimed in admiration. Before him lay a clear lake, appearing as if it were formed entirely from the essence of heaven and earth, radiating an incredibly potent life force.

"The vitality here is indeed astonishing. It is hard to imagine that the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest would be such a treasure trove!" Qian Renxue also sighed in wonder. She bent down to pluck a flower; its petals were pale blue, the most common Sea Flower, yet here it had grown to an astonishing size.

"Sister Xue, I couldn't tell you were so fond of flowers. If you wore it, it would surely look beautiful!"

Watching Qian Renxue gently stroke the petals of the Sea Flower, clearly unable to put it down, Qin Chuan could not help but tease her.

Amidst the beautiful scenery and rippling blue waves, the two felt their moods relax slightly, especially since Qin Chuan had never been overly tense to begin with.

However, Pufferfish and Snake Lance were not like them; every inch of the surrounding land retained a ferocious aura that belonged to the Titan Giant Ape.

Having nearly come to blows with the Titan Giant Ape just moments ago, the two men's nerves were stretched to the breaking point, and the slightest disturbance was enough to trigger their vigilance.
