Titan Giant Ape

A pitch-black Soul Ring slowly rose from the Emerald Poison Dragon's body.

Seeing this Soul Ring, Feng Xiaoyuan spoke seriously.

"Yanyan."

"Are you really planning to absorb this Soul Ring?"

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, then spoke resolutely.

"Mm."

"I have to give it a try."

"If I don't even dare to try, how will I ever stand at the peak of the continent?"

As her teammate, Feng Xiaoyuan naturally chose to trust her unconditionally.

"Alright."

"Since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you otherwise."

"If anything goes wrong, I'll have my father sever your connection to the Soul Ring immediately."

Dugu Yan nodded.

"Alright."

Feng Xiaoyuan then continued.

"But I still need to remind you of something."

"A ten-thousand-year Soul Ring is far beyond anything a thousand-year Soul Ring can compare to."

"The most crucial part is that ten-thousand-year soul beasts produce a spiritual shock after death."

Everyone's expressions gradually turned puzzled upon hearing this.

Ning Rongrong asked curiously.

"Spiritual shock? What is that?"

Feng Xiaoyuan continued.

"Simply put, a spiritual shock is an impact formed by the resentment of a ten-thousand-year soul beast after its death."

"Although this Emerald Poison Dragon had only just broken through to the ten-thousand-year level."

"Its resentment runs far deeper than that of an ordinary ten-thousand-year soul beast."

"It had just broken through to the ten-thousand-year level and hadn't even had the chance to enjoy it before we killed it."

"In the end, all of its unwillingness was left within the Soul Ring."

Once Feng Xiaoyuan finished speaking, Dugu Yan said nothing.

She merely walked toward the Emerald Poison Dragon's corpse with a determined gaze.

She sat down cross-legged and began drawing in the Soul Ring.

The pitch-black Soul Ring slowly descended.

The next instant, an incomparably violent surge of Soul Power flooded into her body.

Dugu Yan's body jolted violently, and her forehead was instantly covered in sweat.

At the same time, dramatic changes took place in her spiritual world.

Within Dugu Yan's dark emerald spiritual world.

A pair of jade-green dragon eyes slowly opened.

"Roar."

The Emerald Poison Dragon let out an incomparably resentful dragon roar.

Its enormous dragon body charged madly toward Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan clenched her teeth as the Jade Phosphorus Dragon Martial Soul slowly appeared behind her.

The two giant dragons collided in an instant.

Her spiritual world shook violently.

At the same time, a trace of blood immediately flowed from the corner of Dugu Yan's lips in the outside world.

"Yanyan!"

Huo Wu could not help crying out.

Ye Lingling immediately released her Martial Soul, and the Nine Heart Begonia bloomed at once.

Gentle life energy continuously flowed into Dugu Yan's body.

Helping her stabilize her body.

Within the spiritual world.

The Emerald Poison Dragon roared without end, striking at Dugu Yan's will again and again.

The Jade Phosphorus Dragon continued to roar.

The two sides collided madly.

As time passed bit by bit, Dugu Yan's face grew increasingly pale.

Yet the determination in her eyes never wavered.

Finally, with the last collision—

The Jade Phosphorus Dragon suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the Emerald Poison Dragon's resentful remnant soul whole.

The entire spiritual world returned to calm.

Outside, that pitch-black soul ring completely merged into Dugu Yan's body.

Four soul rings slowly emerged.

Yellow.

Yellow.

Purple.

Black.

The Soul Power from the ten-thousand-year soul ring, combined with the medicinal effects of the immortal herb and Whale Rubber from before—

Dugu Yan broke through to level forty-three Soul Ancestor in one stroke.

Dugu Yan slowly opened her eyes.

Feeling the surging power within her, a smile appeared on her face.

"I succeeded."

"My fourth soul ring is ten thousand years old."

She slowly rose to her feet, just about to show everyone her fourth soul skill.

The next instant, Feng Yan appeared before the group.

Suddenly, the entire forest began to shake violently.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The ground trembled without end, and countless trees swayed wildly.

In the distance, large numbers of soul beasts fled frantically toward the outskirts of the forest.

The entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to have fallen into chaos.

Everyone's expressions changed at once.

"What happened?"

Feng Yan's expression also became incomparably grave.

This was the first time they had seen Feng Yan wear such a serious expression.

"Everyone."

"We need to leave this place immediately."

As soon as he spoke, Feng Yan's vast wind-attributed Soul Power erupted instantly.

He directly lifted all nine of them into the air.

They flew toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Feng Xiaoyuan immediately asked, "Father."

"What happened?"

Feng Yan turned back toward the depths of the forest and said solemnly, "The Emerald Poison Dragon's scream before it died."

"Together with the Soul Power fluctuations you released just now."

"They alerted the true king of the forest."

"A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."

"The Titan Giant Ape."

At those words, everyone's faces instantly turned pale.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was an existence standing at the pinnacle of soul beasts.

Feng Yan accelerated once more, instantly transforming into a streak of azure light.

He sped toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing those little bugs flee.

The Titan Giant Ape's enormous, suffocating figure slowly rose to its feet.

Its fists continuously pounded the ground.

Rumble.

Rumble.

Rumble.

The surrounding earth split apart in an instant, and the trees nearby were reduced to ash that filled the sky.

A terrifying pressure spread toward them.

Even from a considerable distance away, it still sent chills through everyone's bodies.

No one dared to look back.

Only after they had completely left the boundaries of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Did Feng Yan finally set everyone down.

Only then did they dare to let out long sighs of relief.

Huo Wu collapsed onto the ground, gasping heavily.

"Th-That..."

"Was that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

Huo Wushuang gave a bitter laugh.

"Just sensing its aura..."

"I didn't even have the courage to make a move."

Feng Xiaoyuan also let out a soft breath.

"Good thing Father came along this time."

"Otherwise, we really would've died here today."

After everyone rested for a moment, Feng Yan slowly spoke.

"Alright."

"Xiaoyuan."

"Take out the Soul Guidance Airship. We need to head to the next location."

Feng Xiaoyuan nodded and took the Soul Guidance Airship out of his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

He then injected Soul Power into it.

A silver-white flash appeared, and a massive Soul Guidance Airship emerged in midair.

"Alright."

"Everyone, get aboard."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone leaped onto the airship.

After everyone had boarded, Feng Xiaoyuan walked over to the control console.

He slowly poured Soul Power into it.

At the same time, he set the destination.

Thunder Gorge.

The next instant, the Thrusters at the stern erupted with dazzling flames.

The entire airship instantly transformed into a streak of white light.

And flew toward Thunder Gorge.

Feng Xiaoyuan returned to the main hall.

Looking at Dugu Yan, he said with a smile.

"Sister Yanyan."

"What is your fourth soul skill?"

"Let us see it."

The others chimed in as well.

"Yeah, yeah."

"We still haven't seen a ten-thousand-year fourth soul ring."

"Will it be different from other ten-thousand-year soul rings?"

Dugu Yan looked at everyone's expectant gazes and slowly said.

"My fourth soul skill..."

"Is called..."

"Jade Phosphorus Poison Dragon Roar."
