Long Wushang Awakens, Di Tian's Doubts?

Er Ming's expression immediately darkened at the thought. Jumping to conclusions, he opened with an interrogation.

"Who are you, and why are you here?"

"This is a forbidden ground of my sect. No outsiders are permitted to enter."

"You two should leave at once. Otherwise... don't blame me for being impolite."

After following Tang San into the God Realm, Er Ming's horizons had long since changed.

Even though he had now returned to the lower realm, he no longer regarded the powerhouses here as worthy of his attention.

What was more, he had come this time under Tang San's orders and carried out a mission. Naturally, he had even fewer reservations. If anything went wrong, Tang San would bear the responsibility anyway.

Thus, his tone was especially domineering.

However, his high-and-mighty attitude and utter disregard for the two men instantly enraged the two top-tier powerhouses present.

Whether Long Xiaoyao or Di Tian, both stood at the peak of the continent.

Who had ever dared to look down on them like this?

After a brief silence, a glint flashed through Long Xiaoyao's eyes.

He had just been wondering how to stall for time. Wasn't this a perfect opportunity delivered right to his doorstep?

Without delay, he quietly circulated his Soul Power and transmitted his voice to Di Tian.

"Beast God, since both of us are interested in what lies inside, why don't we join forces to deal with him first? Then we can discuss matters between ourselves."

Upon hearing the voice transmission, Di Tian merely gave Long Xiaoyao a faint glance, seemingly considering the feasibility of the proposal. He did not directly refuse him.

Instead, he turned toward Er Ming and chose to attack outright. Terrifying dragon might suddenly erupted.

Di Tian struck first!

Long Xiaoyao was delighted at the sight. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately joined the fight and launched an attack right after him.

The two powerhouses standing at the very peak of the continent had temporarily joined forces to attack Er Ming.

When Er Ming saw this, the fury in his heart completely erupted.

He had clearly already given them a chance.

Yet not only had these two failed to leave, they had even taken the initiative to attack him.

They were simply courting death!

"Die!"

With an enraged roar, terrifying power burst forth from Er Ming's body.

He clenched his fist as violent power gathered within it, then fiercely threw a punch.

The might of that punch was like an ancient beast awakening.

Facing the joint attack of two peerless powerhouses, Er Ming showed no intention of retreating and charged forward head-on.

The earth-shaking battle unfolding here naturally threw Sunset Forest into turmoil. Countless soul beasts began fleeing outward, terrified of being caught in the aftershocks created by the battle of these three top-tier powerhouses.

After the officials of the Heaven Dou Empire stationed here sensed the continuous stream of soul beasts pouring out of Sunset Forest, they assumed a beast tide had occurred.

They hurriedly reported upward and mobilized troops to guard against and suppress it.

Just as everyone was bustling about in a frenzy, Long Wushang had finally soaked in the ice and fire springs long enough within the Icefire Yin Yang Well. Feeling utterly refreshed, he leaped out of the spring.

The clothes he had originally worn had long since been burned to ashes. Now standing naked, he looked at Tang Ya, who had been waiting for him anxiously.

"Ah!"

Tang Ya jumped in fright at Long Wushang's sudden appearance, especially when she saw him standing before her without a stitch of clothing.

Over this period, Long Wushang's body had been continuously tempered by the twin springs of ice and fire. His physique had become exceptionally powerful, his muscles sharply defined and pleasing to the eye.

It held a natural attraction for Tang Ya. Especially that thick, large, highly tempting sugarcane—it made one unable to resist taking a bite and savoring it carefully, tasting its sweet juices.

After emerging, Long Wushang first looked around, then immediately spotted Tang Ya waiting nearby.

It had to be said that everyone had changed greatly. Not only had Long Xiaoyao grown stronger, he had also become younger. Even Tang Ya's appearance had changed tremendously after absorbing those immortal herbs.

Much of the lifelessness she had once possessed had faded. Now, she looked just as she had before her fall, brimming with vitality. Her tender, delicate appearance truly made one want to take a bite and savor her flavor.

"What? Don't recognize me?" Long Wushang smiled faintly as he looked at Tang Ya, who was staring at him blankly and had even begun to blush.

"You've changed quite a bit too. We can let them get acquainted again another time, but for now, hurry up and help me get dressed. There's quite a commotion outside—I could feel it even from in there."

Long Wushang took out a set of formal robes from his storage ring, then called Tang Ya over to help him put them on quickly.

"Hmph, it's hard to say who should be afraid of whom." Forced to look away, Tang Ya gave a delicate snort. Then she obediently picked up the clothes and deftly helped Long Wushang dress.

The aftershocks from the world-shaking battle outside had already begun to affect this hidden treasure land.

A clash between three top-tier powerhouses was absolutely beyond comparison to an ordinary battle between soul masters.

Even though Long Xiaoyao had undergone unprecedented transformations in both physique and bloodline after being tempered by the immortal herbs, and his strength now far surpassed that of ordinary Limit Douluo, Long Wushang still did not dare guarantee that he could emerge unscathed from such a battle.

After all, neither side of the conflict was ordinary.

If his judgment was correct, one side was the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest—Di Tian—while the other was Er Ming, the Titan Giant Ape and second sect master of the Clear Sky Sect.

Those two auras were simply too distinctive.

The aura belonging to kings among soul beasts remained incomparably clear even from such a great distance. It could not be concealed at all.

At this moment, above Sunset Forest.

Pitch-black clouds covered the heavens as terrifying Soul Power fluctuations continuously swept in all directions.

Two black dragons large enough to blot out the sky coiled above the firmament, radiating suffocating dragon might as they besieged a Titan Giant Ape as massive as a mountain.

They were Di Tian and Long Xiaoyao in his Martial Soul Avatar form, while their opponent was none other than Er Ming.

However, Er Ming was not in good condition at the moment.

His enormous body was covered in wounds, golden blood flowing continuously. His originally incomparably violent aura was also gradually weakening beneath the suppression of the two black dragons.

From the state of the battlefield, Er Ming had already fallen completely into a disadvantage.

In truth, by this point, both sides were somewhat bewildered. From the moment Er Ming completely unleashed the power of the Titan Giant Ape bloodline and displayed his Titan Giant Ape true form, Di Tian had sensed that something was wrong.

That ancient and pure bloodline aura could never have appeared on a human.

Moreover, that power reminded Di Tian of someone who had left Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago.

The Titan Giant Ape who had once grown alongside Tang San, and who had ultimately chosen to sacrifice himself to help the Sea God ascend to the God Realm.

But...

Why?

Why had this fellow, who should have been in the God Realm, appeared once more on Douluo Continent?

Were gods not unable to descend easily into the lower realm?

Di Tian's heart was filled with doubts.

And at this moment, Er Ming, as one of those involved, was feeling equally complicated.
