What Trash Thinks It Can Steal Someone from Us Husband and Wife? Get Lost!

The Star Dou Great Forest was the largest remaining gathering place for wild soul beasts on the Douluo Continent.

Although its overall number of soul beasts no longer compared to what it had been ten thousand years ago, back when Sea God Tang San had yet to ascend—

The current lord of the forest possessed a deterrent power far beyond that of the past.

Ten thousand years ago, the rulers of this forest had been the Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, whose cultivation had surpassed one hundred thousand years.

But now, the one presiding over this place was the Beast God Di Tian, whose cultivation exceeded eight hundred thousand years.

The two were simply not on the same level.

However, none of that was a problem for Li Changqing and the other two.

Their target for this trip was merely a thousand-year soul beast in the outer region, nowhere near enough to disturb the sleeping lord of the forest.

The moment they entered the forest's outskirts, the rich scent of vegetation mixed with the damp smell of earth rushed over them.

Ancient trees towered overhead, blotting out the sky and sun. Sunlight could only filter through the layers of leaves, scattering mottled flecks of light.

Faint soul power fluctuations filled the air, while low roars from soul beasts occasionally echoed from afar.

Bei Bei walked at the front, vigilantly watching their surroundings as he guarded Tang Ya.

Tang Ya followed in the middle, looking both nervous and expectant.

Li Changqing trailed behind them with his hands in his pockets, his expression calm.

His powerful spiritual power spread like an invisible radar across a radius of several hundred meters. Not even the slightest movement escaped his perception.

After they had traveled for a while, Li Changqing suddenly asked, "Have you decided what soul ring you want?"

Tang Ya immediately turned around. "Bei Bei and I discussed it. We're going to look for a thousand-year Mandala Snake."

Li Changqing did not so much as twitch a brow upon hearing the name Mandala Snake.

He had expected this outcome.

For a trash martial soul like Blue Silver Grass, trying to defy fate and change one's destiny was basically impossible.

Choosing the same soul beast Tang San had absorbed might not be perfect, but at least it had already been proven viable.

There was no helping it. Blue Silver Grass was simply too weak. Other than taking that route, there was practically no room left to fall.

Because it could not possibly get any weaker.

Before long, they found a suitable thousand-year Mandala Snake.

There was no suspense whatsoever in the battle.

Li Changqing and Bei Bei were responsible for severely wounding it, beating the enormous, deep-blue Mandala Snake until it was on its last breath.

Finally, Tang Ya personally delivered the fatal blow and claimed the final kill.

Amid a soft glow, a pale-purple soul ring slowly rose from the Mandala Snake's corpse, giving off the unique energy fluctuations of a thousand-year soul ring.

Time passed bit by bit, and night quietly descended.

The night was as black as ink, and the Star Dou Great Forest cast vast, savage shadows beneath the moonlight.

Gigantic trees pierced the heavens, their branches and leaves intertwined, covering the sky until only a few scattered silver glimmers remained.

The wind wailed through the forest, mingling with the deep roars of unknown soul beasts in the distance, making this ancient forest seem all the more secluded and eerie.

Tang Ya sat cross-legged atop a flat bluestone, faint blue soul power fluctuations lingering around her body.

Her eyes were tightly shut, and fine beads of sweat had formed on her brow.

The purple soul ring of the thousand-year Mandala Snake slowly revolved above her head, gradually merging into her body.

The absorption process was fairly stable. Bei Bei remained at her side without taking a single step away, his gaze vigilantly sweeping their surroundings.

Li Changqing stood some distance away, his brows faintly furrowed.

Just a moment ago, he had sensed an extremely faint spatial fluctuation.

It had appeared abruptly and vanished just as quickly, as though something had torn open a crack high above the Star Dou Great Forest.

He raised his head toward the night sky, his gaze piercing through the layered canopy and landing on the black, ink-dark heavens.

"Bei Bei."

He lowered his voice. "Keep an eye on your Xiao Ya. I'll take a look around and see if anything's going on."

Bei Bei was slightly startled, then nodded. "Be careful."

Li Changqing said nothing more. With a flicker, he vanished into the shadows among the trees.

His footsteps were incredibly light and soundless, his speed like a wisp of green smoke sweeping through the night.

His spiritual power spread out like an invisible net, covering several miles around him.

He remembered clearly.

According to the normal timeline, Huo Yuhao should have been in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest right now, and he was very likely experiencing his encounter with Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

That million-year-old ice silkworm was the most extraordinary existence in the entire history of the Douluo Continent, without equal.

Because its appearance would completely change Huo Yuhao's fate.

But...

Li Changqing swept the area back and forth with his spiritual power three times. Within several miles, aside from a few low-level soul beasts and nocturnal animals, there was nothing.

No Huo Yuhao.

No skinny, stubborn youth with burning eyes.

Li Changqing stopped beneath a massive tree that would require ten people linking arms to encircle it, his frown deepening.

That made no sense.

He remembered it clearly. Huo Yuhao had encountered Sky Dream Ice Silkworm during this very period, and only then had the series of events that followed occurred.

Yet after searching for so long, let alone Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, he had not sensed even the slightest trace of a human presence.

Had Huo Yuhao not come to the Star Dou Great Forest?

Or was it that...

Because of his arrival, certain things had already gone off course?

He stood in a shadow untouched by moonlight, silent for a long while as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

If Huo Yuhao was not here, then what about Electrolux?

Would the remnant soul of that Necromancer God of Law, Calamity of the Undead Electrolux, still descend upon the Star Dou Great Forest?

Li Changqing's eyes suddenly narrowed.

He decided to give it a try.

He closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and mobilized the soul power within his body.

In an instant, a vast and majestic aura shot skyward from him.

Interwoven white and black light surged around his body. The yin and yang energies flowed from his palms like two roaming dragons, slowly spreading through the empty space behind him.

A Taiji diagram.

The black and white colors merged with and opposed each other, slowly rotating as they gave off an ancient, profound aura.

The Taiji diagram spun faster and faster, and invisible fluctuations spread outward like ripples.

They pierced through the forest mist, through the heavy clouds, and straight into the highest heavens.

What Li Changqing intended was to use his own aura as an anchor and try to guide over that remnant soul that did not belong to this world.

Time passed second by second.

The Taiji diagram slowly rotated. Then, the forest wind abruptly stopped, and the chirping of insects and calls of birds fell silent in an instant.

It was as though someone had pressed mute on the entire world, leaving only the faint hum of the rotating Taiji diagram.

Then, the dark night sky was torn apart.

A pitch-black beam of light plunged down from the depths of the heavens, moving so fast that there was almost no time to react.

Li Changqing's pupils contracted, and the corner of his mouth curled slightly upward.

It's here.

The jet-black light did not pause in the slightest. It shot straight into the center of his brow.

In an instant, a cold and immense power flooded into his sea of spirit like a tidal wave, scrambling to take root and settle within that vast spiritual world.

Electrolux's remnant consciousness.

Li Changqing recognized that aura and was just about to open his sea of spirit to accept it.

But at that moment, a voice brimming with coldness and destructive intent exploded in his mind like thunder:

"Get lost! What kind of trash thinks it can steal someone from us husband and wife!"

The voice was incomparably domineering, carrying a pressure that made even one's soul tremble, as though it belonged to an ancient god from the primordial wilderness.

Before the words had even faded, the jet-black light that had just entered his sea of spirit was forcibly driven out of Li Changqing's mind by an overbearing, utterly unreasonable power!

Electrolux's remnant consciousness let out an extremely brief, low hum.

Then it was completely ejected from Li Changqing's spiritual world.

Immediately afterward, two dazzling lights, one purple and one green, descended like meteors. Carrying unstoppable force, they crashed into Li Changqing's brow one after the other.

The purple light blazed like fire, carrying an aura of destruction and violence.

The green light was gentle as water, yet contained boundless life force.

The moment the two lights entered his sea of spirit, Li Changqing felt his mind spin. It was as if two great mountains had slammed heavily onto his soul.

He let out a muffled groan, his knees buckling as he nearly fell to the ground.

He gasped for breath, veins bulging on his forehead as he braced both hands on his knees and struggled to steady his swaying body.

Li Changqing: "..."

With difficulty, he straightened up and rubbed his throbbing temples. His face was filled with the bewilderment and shock of what the hell did I just invite into my head?

What was this supposed to be?

He had only meant to catch a fish.

Instead, he had hooked two whales.

And those two whales had even slapped away the fish he had been trying to catch.

The night wind brushed past him, stirring the loose strands of hair over his forehead.

Li Changqing stood there, his expression shifting for quite some time. In the end, he forced out an incomparably complicated smile and muttered softly, "Well... now I've really gone and made this big."
