The Six Great Worship Hall Elders Enter the Fray

Star Dou Great Forest!

Core Region, Life Lake!

"Roar!"

"Humans, you have no sense of honor! If you have the guts, fight us brothers one-on-one! A bunch of peak Douluo above level 95 joining forces to gang up on two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—you have no shame at all!"

The Titan Giant Ape let out a roar filled with fury and resentment.

It stood back-to-back with the Sky Azure Bull Python, glaring at the seven figures surrounding them, wishing it could tear them to pieces.

Those seven figures were Golden Crocodile Douluo, Azure Luan Douluo, Mighty Lion Douluo, Light Feather Douluo, Qianjun Douluo, Demon-Subduing Douluo, and Qiangu Aoshi.

Other than Qian Daoliu, who needed to remain at the Worship Hall, all six remaining worship hall elders had arrived.

Because Qiangu Aoshi had presented each of them with a generous gift, the worship hall elders had made the rare decision to move out together.

All to help Qiangu Aoshi securely obtain these two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts as his eighth and ninth soul rings.

Golden Crocodile was clad in golden scales, his whole body gleaming with golden light. Beneath his feet floated nine soul rings: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

"Hahaha, honor? Sure. Let's fight one-on-one. Azure Luan, take the others and surround the Sky Azure Bull Python. Leave this little monkey to me."

"It's been nearly a hundred years since I last had a proper fight. Today is a fine chance to stretch these old bones."

"If I don't move around soon, this body of mine will rust."

Azure Luan gave the Titan Giant Ape a pitying glance. This little monkey actually intended to duel his second brother.

"Fine, Second Brother. The Titan Giant Ape is yours."

"Mighty Lion, Light Feather, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, come with me and surround the Sky Azure Bull Python."

The battle quickly erupted once more!

Golden Crocodile charged the Titan Giant Ape alone. The Titan Giant Ape was as enormous as a mountain, yet a single golden tail sweep from Golden Crocodile knocked it flat onto the ground.

With a thunderous crash, the Titan Giant Ape let out a humiliated, agonized howl.

As a hundred-thousand-year soul beast with Titan bloodline, even ordinary level-95 Title Douluo were no match for it.

But the Golden Crocodile it faced today was a level-98 peak Douluo.

The Titan Giant Ape was truly suffering.

"Gravity Control Domain!"

The Titan Giant Ape released an earthen-yellow radiance. Within the area covered by that glow, gravity instantly increased a hundredfold.

Golden Crocodile seemed to have sunk into a swamp. Though he possessed strength capable of moving mountains and overturning seas, every step now took tremendous effort.

"Interesting!"

"Then let me see where the limits of your Gravity Control Domain lie!"

"Fierce Golden Crocodile!"

"Rending Crocodile Claw!"

Golden Crocodile's attributes increased by one hundred percent. Golden light blazed from his entire body as his form abruptly expanded to three meters tall, and a pair of crocodile claws extended more than three feet from his hands.

Bracing against the hundredfold gravity, Golden Crocodile strode toward the Titan Giant Ape. Every swipe of his claws tore a bone-deep wound across the Titan Giant Ape's body.

The Titan Giant Ape tried to resist, but Golden Crocodile was simply too powerful. Its resistance appeared so frail that it only ended up covered in wounds.

"Titanic Firmament Break!"

The Titan Giant Ape prepared to unleash its ultimate move. Its eyes turned scarlet as it slammed a fist into the ground, sending countless stones flying into the sky before gathering them into a ten-meter-wide sphere of earth.

Golden Crocodile also prepared to severely wound the Titan Giant Ape in one strike.

"Golden Colossal Force Break!"

Golden Crocodile bent his body, wrapped his arms around his legs, buried his head between his thighs, and curled himself into a ball. Light flared behind him as layer after layer of golden scales stood on end, gleaming with a cold edge like sharp blades.

His ball-shaped body rolled forward like a wheel. With a thunderous boom, it shattered the Titanic Firmament Break, then crashed straight into the Titan Giant Ape.

"Roar—"

The Titan Giant Ape screamed, and the sound of breaking muscles and bones came from within its mountain-like body.

Then, with another deafening crash, it collapsed to the ground.

"Aoshi, it's your turn. Give it the final blow!"

Qiangu Aoshi's spirits rose, and the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand burst with light.

"Got it, Uncle Golden Crocodile."

"Third Soul Skill, Coiling Dragon Might!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Coiling Dragon Stacking!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Coiling Dragon's Break!"

Qiangu Aoshi's figure shot forward. With one swing of his staff, the Red Dragon roared and violently struck the Titan Giant Ape as it struggled to rise.

Boom!

An enormous explosion erupted!

First came a red hundred-thousand-year soul ring, followed by a complete left-arm soul bone.

Then came hundreds upon hundreds of red spheres of light, each containing Bloodline Power.

At the same time!

When the Sky Azure Bull Python saw the Titan Giant Ape's soul ring emerge, it was overwhelmed with grief and screamed itself hoarse.

"Er Ming, my little brother!"

"Die with me, all of you! Azure Sky Annihilation Thunder!"

Azure Luan, Mighty Lion, and Light Feather joined forces to block the Azure Sky Annihilation Thunder hurtling toward them.

Then it was left to Qian Jun and Jiang Mo.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Qian Jun's Throw!"

"Eighth Soul Skill, Coiling Dragon Demon-Subduing Ring!"

Demon-Subduing Douluo's Coiling Dragon Staff transformed into a Red Dragon and coiled around the Sky Azure Bull Python's massive body, completely locking down its movements.

At that moment, Qianjun Douluo's Coiling Dragon Staff had already expanded to a hundred times its size. Descending from the heavens, it smashed down on the Sky Azure Bull Python's head.

With a crack, the Sky Azure Bull Python's horn split apart, its skull was struck inward, and it let out a mournful cry before falling helplessly toward the ground.

Qian Jun hurriedly called out to Qiangu Aoshi:

"Aoshi, get over here! Prepare to give the Sky Azure Bull Python its final blow."

Qiangu Aoshi raised his Coiling Dragon Staff and flew over.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!"

"Sixth Soul Skill, Coiling Dragon's Break!"

With one swing of his staff, Qiangu Aoshi struck with a thud, knocking out the Sky Azure Bull Python's soul ring, soul bone, and numerous spheres of Bloodline Power all at once.

From this day forward, there would no longer be a Forest Emperor or Forest King within the Star Dou Great Forest.

Qiangu Aoshi gave Life Lake a meaningful look. Di Tian truly did not care about the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. Even after the two were killed, Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts had not appeared.

Or perhaps they were absorbing the vitality of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm and had no time to spare!

Even if the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm was no longer a million-year soul beast, it was still a soul beast more than nine hundred thousand years old.

He wondered whether he would have a chance to kill the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm. A soul ring over nine hundred thousand years old, even if its attributes were not particularly compatible, could still grant him an immense boost.

At that moment, Jiang Mo said:

"Aoshi, decide which soul ring you'll absorb first. We'll guard you together."

Qiangu Aoshi agreed:

"Then I'll have to trouble First Father, Second Father, and all my uncles."

Qiangu Aoshi then sat beside the two enormous corpses and first absorbed the numerous spheres of Bloodline Power, further strengthening his physique.

Then he called out to both soul rings at the same time.

Qiangu Aoshi believed that he could absorb two hundred-thousand-year soul rings simultaneously.
