Unable to Resist, We're Surely Doomed!

"Beast, settle down!" Azure Luan Douluo stood in the air, staring at the Sky Azure Bull Python with eyes as cold as blades.

"Eighth Spirit Skill—Blue Sky Cloud Sea Sound Dustless!" The ten-thousand-year Eighth Spirit Ring burst with dazzling light, and an invisible vacuum domain instantly enveloped the space around the Sky Azure Bull Python.

"Fourth Brother, move! Cripple its ability to resist, then let Xiao Ye come over and absorb its Spirit Ring!" Azure Luan Douluo said to Mighty Lion Douluo beside him.

"Gladly!" Mighty Lion Douluo flashed a vicious grin as his eighth Spirit Ring lit up as well. "Eighth Spirit Skill—Soul-Shattering Heaven-Slaughter Roar!"

The Blazing Lion planted its feet on the ground and slowly opened its massive jaws. A searing beam of light as thick as a bucket erupted from its mouth and blasted into the Sky Azure Bull Python's enormous body.

Amid a thunderous boom, the Sky Azure Bull Python let out a cry of agony. More than half of its hard azure scales shattered, its flesh charred and its bones exposed!

"This is simply not something I can contend with. If Spirit Hall had sent them the first time, then it would not only have been Sister Xiao Wu who was forced to sacrifice herself. Erming, Tang San, and I would all have died at Spirit Hall's hands!" The Sky Azure Bull Python stared venomously at Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo.

"Azure Nirvana Lightning!" The Sky Azure Bull Python roared and unleashed its most powerful attack once more.

Dark clouds churned overhead as lightning flashed and thunder roared. Azure bolts intertwined like countless azure snakes, merging into a massive pillar of lightning.

"You still dare resist?" Azure Luan Douluo sneered. "Then I'll use this move to cripple you completely!"

"Ninth Soul Skill—The Vast Sky, the Boundless Sea, the Azure Luan Divine Bird Soaring Across the Nine Heavens... Qingluan Space-Shattering Break!"

Azure Luan Douluo had no intention of giving it even a moment to catch its breath. He directly unleashed his most powerful Spirit Skill!

The black ten-thousand-year Ninth Spirit Ring shone brilliantly. The space between heaven and earth seemed to turn into glass at that instant, cracking into black fissures with every beat of the Azure Luan Divine Bird's wings, savagely slicing through the Sky Azure Bull Python's body!

Had the Sky Azure Bull Python's body not been strong enough, Azure Luan Douluo's most powerful Spirit Skill would have torn it into pieces.

"I'm joining in!" Mighty Lion Douluo shouted. "Ninth Soul Skill—Blazing Lion Heaven-Tearing Claw!"

The Blazing Lion sprang from the ground. Its lion claws, blazing with fierce flames, became even sharper, as though they could tear through air and rip apart space itself, lunging straight at the Sky Azure Bull Python.

Facing those two attacks, the Sky Azure Bull Python slowly closed its eyes. This was not an attack it could withstand.

"Boom..."

Towering waves surged as the Sky Azure Bull Python's immense body was smashed straight into the mud at the bottom of the lake. Its blood dyed the entire lake a dark crimson, its life force rapidly draining away as it teetered on the brink of death.

The battle on the other side ended even faster!

Golden Crocodile Douluo could not even be bothered to waste words. The scarlet Hundred-Thousand-Year Ninth Spirit Ring beneath his feet flickered with savage light, radiating an incomparably terrifying aura!

Among the Pontiffs, aside from Great Pontiff Qian Daoliu, he was the only one whose Ninth Spirit Ring was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

"Ninth Soul Skill—River Overlord: Crocodile King Bursting Kill!"

As the Ninth Soul Skill was unleashed, the Golden Crocodile King abruptly reared up its enormous body. Spiraling golden gales condensed around its sharp claws before it charged at the Titan Giant Ape and slammed its claws down upon its chest.

"Pfft..." Flesh split apart, and bones shattered.

After all, this was the Ninth Soul Skill of a Super Douluo, and one bestowed by a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring at that.

The Titan Giant Ape let out a shrill scream. Its skin, as hard as rock, was as fragile as tofu before the Hundred-Thousand-Year Ninth Soul Skill of a Rank 98 Super Douluo!

Those golden claws easily tore two horrifying gashes into its chest, deep enough to expose bone.

"Titan Firmament Cannon!" In unbearable pain, the Titan Giant Ape threw a punch with all its strength. Yet when it struck the Golden Crocodile King's golden armor, it only left a shallow dent, failing even to break through its defense.

The absolute gap in strength was suffocating. Was this the peak power of a Rank 98 Super Douluo?! Human Soul Masters really were powerful!

They only needed a few short centuries to cultivate to such a level, while Spirit Beasts needed countless years of accumulation.

I'm unwilling... the Titan Giant Ape thought.

It truly was unwilling. It was unwilling to die just like this. Why did Spirit Hall's Soul Masters have to disturb their lives?

Of course, it also knew that Soul Masters killing Spirit Beasts and Spirit Beasts killing Soul Masters was only natural, but it still did not want to die.

The dust gradually settled.

Golden Crocodile Douluo slowly dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar, returning to the form of a dignified old man clad in golden armor.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the dying Titan Giant Ape with a calm expression and steady breathing, as though he had merely finished a stroll.

Before him, the Titan Giant Ape had already collapsed in a pool of blood. Its pupils were unfocused, and it had completely lost the strength to fight again.

"Sister Xiao Wu..." the Titan Giant Ape wailed, then slowly closed its eyes, awaiting its coming fate.

The Sky Azure Bull Python on the other side was equally miserable. Azure Luan Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo had shattered every bone in its body. It could not even twitch and could only watch helplessly.

"A beast is still a beast. So what if it has a hundred thousand years of cultivation? In my eyes, it is nothing more than an ant!"

Azure Luan Douluo dispelled his Martial Soul Avatar and drifted down from the sky.

The three Super Douluos had attacked together, and the whole affair had taken less than half an incense stick's time. So-called forest overlords, so-called forest emperors?

Golden Crocodile Douluo raised his head and looked toward the Bright Holy Dragon in the sky.

"Xiao Ye, come down! These two beasts have already had their ability to resist crippled by us. Kill them directly, then absorb their Spirit Rings and complete your God Trial!"

Ye Cangming leaped down from the Bright Holy Dragon's head, withdrew his Martial Soul into his body, and walked before the three elders. "Thank you for your help, Grandfathers! Without your assistance today, your grandson would have had to spend quite some effort subduing them."

Golden Crocodile Douluo smiled and waved his hand. "Why be so polite with family? As long as it helps you revive Xiao Xue sooner, we grandfathers would do it even if we had to turn the entire Star Dou Great Forest upside down!"

Ye Cangming nodded, then walked over to the Titan Giant Ape. The first Spirit Ring he intended to absorb would be the Titan Giant Ape's.

The Titan Giant Ape was still conscious. It could hear Ye Cangming's conversation with the Pontiffs, and despair filled its heart.

This boy... actually possessed a god's inheritance?

They had come to kill them because of this boy's God Trial?

With such a monster in Spirit Hall, could Tang San truly avenge Sister Xiao Wu? Could he truly defeat Spirit Hall?

It could not see even the slightest hope of victory.
