Titan Giant Ape's Pendulum Ride, an Innate Lightning Spirit Appears in Heavy Cloud Ravine!

It was a creature as massive as a mountain. Its pitch-black fur shimmered faintly beneath the dim starlight and moonlight.

Though it moved on all fours, its shoulders still stood well over seven meters high.

If it stood upright, it would likely exceed fifteen meters in height.

It looked like both an ape and a gorilla. Other than its lantern-sized eyes gleaming like yellow crystals, its entire body was black.

In the darkness of night, if it had not been moving, its body would have been impossible to make out.

Its physique was extraordinarily powerful, brimming with masculine strength. Not only was it enormous, but every part of its body was covered in terrifyingly robust muscles harder than granite, the bulges rising like small hills.

Meng Chen stared at the massive ape charging toward him, his face full of astonishment.

Bro, Xiao Wu isn't even with me. Why did the Titan Giant Ape still show up?!

"Little one, do you need me to step in?" Ye Xishui asked Meng Chen.

A Titan Giant Ape of over ninety thousand years would leave even ordinary Titled Douluo fleeing for their lives, perhaps even losing them.

But before Ye Xishui, it was not worth mentioning.

"Not yet. I don't sense any hostility from this Titan Giant Ape."

Meng Chen gently shook his head and had Ye Xishui hide herself first, lest the Titan Giant Ape discover her.

Ye Xishui concealed herself. The Titan Giant Ape took steps that shook heaven and earth, crossing several miles in an instant and appearing before Meng Chen as though it had teleported, looking down at him from above.

"Roar!"

The Titan Giant Ape let out a low roar at Meng Chen, then extended its enormous palm toward him.

Seeing that it not only did not harm him but actually reached out its hand, Meng Chen was a little dumbfounded.

What is this supposed to mean now?

Meng Chen looked at the Titan Giant Ape, pointed at its palm, and asked tentatively, "You want me to stand on it?"

Hearing that, the Titan Giant Ape nodded, then growled at Meng Chen again, seemingly urging him to hurry up.

After hesitating for a long while, Meng Chen finally jumped onto its palm.

The moment Meng Chen landed in its hand, the Titan Giant Ape's lips curled into a faint, humanlike smirk. Meng Chen immediately had a bad feeling.

Just as he was about to jump down, the Titan Giant Ape closed its five fingers, directly gripping Meng Chen in its fist and giving him no chance to get off.

The next moment, Meng Chen experienced what a Douluo-version pendulum ride was like!

The Titan Giant Ape swung its arm wildly. Clutched in its hand, Meng Chen felt the world spin around him. It was even more thrilling than a pendulum ride or a drop tower, and he was having an utterly miserable time.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!! You fucking—don't swing, swing me! I—I feel like my soul, soul is about to get swung, swung right out of me!"

"Blergh! Blergh! Blergh!!!"

"Brother, slow down, slow down! I want to get, get off!"

Hearing Meng Chen's miserable cries from the shadows, Ye Xishui covered her mouth and laughed softly.

More than half an hour later, the Titan Giant Ape finally stopped and tossed the pale-faced Meng Chen, who had vomited a complete mess, onto the ground.

Meng Chen lay sprawled on the ground without the slightest will to live, his eyes vacant, looking as though he had been thoroughly played to ruin.

Seeing that Meng Chen was already done for, a trace of disdain appeared in the Titan Giant Ape's eyes. It raised a middle finger at him.

Seeing that middle finger, Meng Chen glared angrily at the Titan Giant Ape. He struggled to climb to his feet, stood there trembling, wiped the corner of his mouth, and returned the gesture.

"You damned black gorilla, just you wait!"

The Titan Giant Ape snorted disdainfully, then pointed toward a nearby canyon and growled several times before turning and walking toward it.

Though Meng Chen did not know what the Titan Giant Ape meant, it seemed to be telling him to follow.

Supporting his still-uncomfortable body, Meng Chen followed after it.

Before long, the large and small figures arrived at the mouth of the canyon.

Before he even looked down, Meng Chen sensed an incomparably dense lightning-element aura below, vast and mighty as an ocean. It even made the Thunder Hell Vine martial soul within him stir with excitement.

He immediately looked down and saw a huge number of lightning-element soul beasts trapped within the canyon—no fewer than six or seven hundred of them.

Purple-Scaled Thunder Flood Dragons, Furious Thunder Dragon Lions, Golden Thunder Pengs, Violet Lightning Leopards, Jade Thunder Bamboos, Thunder Demon Bears, Thundercloud Eagles...

Those that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, plants and beasts alike—everything was there.

Meng Chen turned back to the Titan Giant Ape in disbelief and subconsciously asked, "Did you injure all of these?"

"Roar, roar!" The Titan Giant Ape proudly raised its head. They were merely a group of soul beasts below fifty thousand years; beating them was easier than shooting down planes.

As for how it brought down the ones flying in the sky, one use of gravity control and they crashed, didn't they?

Meng Chen gave the Titan Giant Ape a thumbs-up.

"You really are awesome. I was wondering why I couldn't find any lightning-element soul beasts. Turns out you caught them all and brought them here. But why aren't they running away?"

"Roar, roar, roar!" The Titan Giant Ape tried to explain to Meng Chen in beast language.

Because the gravity in Heavy Cloud Ravine was different from elsewhere—six or seven times stronger than outside—combined with its intimidation, these soul beasts did not dare leave.

Meng Chen could not understand it, but that did not stop them from communicating.

"So you brought me here to let me choose one of the soul beasts below as my soul ring?" Meng Chen asked again.

The Titan Giant Ape nodded, pointed at the many soul beasts in the canyon, and made a grabbing gesture with its hand.

Its meaning was obvious: whichever one Meng Chen pointed at, it would catch.

The Titan Giant Ape's body language left Meng Chen deeply surprised.

This was only his first time meeting the Titan Giant Ape. Why was it helping him hunt soul beasts?

Could Xiao Wu have asked it to help? Had Xiao Wu also come to the Star Dou Great Forest?

Meng Chen secretly guessed, feeling somewhat helpless.

Didn't I tell her to stay at Heaven Dou Academy... Forget it. It's the thought that counts.

Meng Chen looked over the lightning-element soul beasts in the canyon. There were many varieties, and their cultivation levels generally hovered around ten thousand years, with the strongest only a little over twenty thousand years.

Before he fused with the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, the cultivation levels of these soul beasts would all have suited him well.

But now, his physical constitution had improved significantly again. Ye Xishui estimated that he could withstand a soul ring of at least thirty or forty thousand years.

Meng Chen continuously scanned the soul beasts below, searching for one suitable for himself.

Within the canyon, a vast number of lightning-element soul beasts gathered together.

Violent and chaotic lightning elements were exceptionally abundant here, already forming a spectacular sea of lightning, enough to excite those beings who fed upon lightning.

Whoosh!

A streak of purple lightning flashed among the beast horde. Wherever it passed, the lightning elements weakened considerably. It swam through the sea of lightning like a fish, while also devouring the lightning energy within the canyon like a gluttonous beast.

This anomaly quickly caught Meng Chen's attention. His Thunder Hell Vine was especially sensitive to lightning energy.

Meng Chen tried to track that streak of purple lightning, and Ye Xishui's slightly astonished voice rang out beside his ear.

"Little one, it's an Innate Lightning Spirit! You must catch it. It is the most suitable soul ring for you!"

An Innate Lightning Spirit!

Hearing those words, Meng Chen's heart trembled.

Really? There's actually an Innate Lightning Spirit in the Star Dou Great Forest!

It was a lifeform like the Ice Sky Snow Lady, condensed from the purest lightning-element energy of heaven and earth!
