Star Dou Great Forest Upheaval

He did not have Yi Yi slow down, because the situation was very unfavorable for them.

Along the way, they had already encountered several Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. The moment these soul beasts saw him and Yi Yi, they began roaring.

They were most likely alerting others, trying to spread the location of him and Yi Yi.

And the ones they were alerting were very likely Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts.

If his guess was correct, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts had likely mobilized the soul beasts within the forest to search for him and Yi Yi with all their strength.

More precisely, they were searching for Yi Yi, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger soul beast. He himself was not important enough to warrant Di Tian's attention.

Because of the roars of those soul beasts, the nearby trees began to sway, and many soul beasts started moving.

These Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts possessed a certain degree of intelligence and knew just how great a threat the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger posed to them.

Thus, they were extremely eager to join in the encirclement and killing of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, responding the moment they heard any disturbance.

Soul beasts had already begun blocking the path ahead, intending to intercept Yi Yi.

"Yi Yi, charge straight through," Jing Chen said gravely. He had already summoned his martial soul and prepared for battle.

Yi Yi looked at the rhinoceros soul beast ahead with a fierce expression. Not only did it not slow down, it accelerated and charged directly forward.

As it ran, lightning surged around its body like countless electric snakes baring their fangs and claws, radiating violent energy.

As the lightning came into contact with the trees, wood chips flew everywhere and scorched smoke rose. Large holes were blasted into the trunks by the electric strikes.

The soul beast blocking the path revealed a startled expression and retreated fearfully, unwilling to collide head-on with Yi Yi.

Just before the collision, Jing Chen leaped forward with all his strength, temporarily jumping off Yi Yi's body.

Bang! Yi Yi collided with the rhinoceros. The tremendous impact snapped its horn, while lightning engulfed the rhinoceros soul beast.

This Ironclad Giant Rhinoceros was only around twenty thousand years old. There was a considerable gap in strength between it and Yi Yi, making it seem utterly unable to withstand the collision.

The Ironclad Giant Rhinoceros, which was even larger than Yi Yi, was sent flying and failed to halt Yi Yi's advance.

Jing Chen landed precisely on Yi Yi's back, and man and tiger continued racing toward the edge of the forest.

In the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest, several figures shot out like lightning, each radiating powerful energy fluctuations.

The direction in which they flew was precisely the direction Jing Chen and Yi Yi were fleeing.

The leading man found flying too slow and directly tore through space, instantly vanishing from where he stood.

When he reappeared, he was already in the sky above the forest dozens of li away. He looked down and frowned slightly.

"Strange, why did the aura suddenly disappear?" The black-clad man was puzzled as his powerful Spiritual Power swept back and forth through the forest.

He could sense the residual aura left behind by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, yet he could not sense the presence of its true body.

"The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger also possesses spatial attributes. Could it be that this Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has already comprehended an innate skill for long-distance spatial travel?"

The black-clad man's brow furrowed even more deeply. If that was truly the case, then this matter would be troublesome.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was an exceptionally evil kind of soul beast, relying on devouring soul beasts and soul masters to raise its cultivation.

Whether human soul masters were devoured or not had nothing to do with him, but if soul beasts were devoured, he could not simply ignore it.

They had to find a way to kill the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Otherwise, the Star Dou Great Forest would never know peace.

"Roar..." The black-clad man let out a great roar, and an impassioned dragon's cry echoed through the forest.

Many birds resting among the trees flew away in fright, while the soul beasts that heard the roar all revealed reverent expressions.

The black-clad man roared several more times, as if issuing some sort of command.

After he finished roaring, all the soul beasts throughout the Star Dou Great Forest began to move.

Whether they were intelligent Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts or Thousand-Year, Hundred-Year, and even Ten-Year soul beasts without awakened intelligence, all of them began searching.

They were to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that posed a threat to the entire Star Dou Great Forest, then eliminate it.

The black-clad man did not leave immediately. Instead, he carefully searched this area.

He searched back and forth several times, only heading to other areas after confirming that there was no trace of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Inside the Time and Space Divine Tower, Jing Chen let out a long sigh of relief when he saw the black-clad man leave. Thankfully, he had reacted quickly and hidden in time.

Jing Chen did not emerge immediately either. He waited until the next day before leaving the Time and Space Divine Tower.

This time, he had Yi Yi remain in its miniature form and conceal its aura. He did not dare let it grow larger again.

"Fortunately, we've already reached the Mixed Zone. Getting out from here will be much easier," Jing Chen murmured as he carefully made his way through the forest.

He held the Time and Space Divine Tower in his left hand. The moment he encountered a soul beast, he would immediately enter it.

Although this was not the Core Zone where powerful soul beasts gathered, it was still generally a place where Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts roamed. It was not somewhere he could come and go freely.

With his current strength, dealing with Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts would not be easy. It was better to avoid them whenever possible.

More than five hours later, Jing Chen successfully left the Mixed Zone and arrived at the Outer Zone, where Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were the main inhabitants.

This journey had been far from easy. He had encountered more than a dozen soul beasts in total.

The soul beasts he encountered were all Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and quite powerful. Fortunately, he had the Time and Space Divine Tower and successfully hid inside it, avoiding them.

After arriving in the Outer Zone, Jing Chen was no longer as tense as before and relaxed somewhat, though he remained vigilant.

Powerful soul beasts existed in the Outer Zone as well; it wasn't as though nothing there could threaten his life.

More than five hours passed, and Jing Chen had roughly reached the outer part of the Outer Zone's middle region.

The soul beasts most commonly found in this area were over a thousand years old but under five thousand years old.

Of course, soul beasts with even higher cultivation could appear here too. It wasn't impossible to encounter soul beasts that were seven or eight thousand years old.

"Could the changes in the Star Dou Great Forest be related to Yi Yi?" Jing Chen revealed a thoughtful expression.

The Star Dou Great Forest felt extremely abnormal to him today. The soul beasts inside seemed as though they had taken stimulants, brimming with energy as they darted wildly through the forest, seemingly searching for something.

Combined with what had happened yesterday, he strongly suspected that these soul beasts were searching for traces of Yi Yi, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

Because of the soul beasts' search, he had been encountering soul beasts far more frequently than before. Moreover, there were more Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in this Outer Zone than there had been in the past.

During the several hours he had spent walking through the Outer Zone, he had encountered six or seven Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

In the past, encountering one or two would already have been quite good. Yet today, he had run into six or seven at once—several times more than before.

"Teacher!" Just as Jing Chen was lost in thought, a shrill female voice rang out in the distance.

"Was someone attacked by a soul beast?" Jing Chen looked toward the source of the voice and could sense that a battle was taking place over there.

It was easy to tell from the woman's cry that she was in terrible circumstances; her voice carried traces of fear and despair.

After watching for a moment, Jing Chen changed direction and decided to go take a look. Since he had come across it, he might as well save them if he could.

I wasn't feeling well today, so the update was late. Sorry.
