The Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast That Took Human Form

Core area of the Star Dou Forest.

The bright moonlight fell, and the surrounding deathly quietness was chilling, as if it were a forbidden zone for the living and creatures could not enter.

Crack...

A sudden sound broke the chilling silence.

A plump figure dressed in a long purple skirt flashed into existence out of thin air.

Bibi Dong lowered her head, a pair of cold and holy eyes slowly sweeping over a severed limb of a Spider Emperor on the ground, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly as she pondered in silence.

"..."

As a brilliant golden chrysanthemum drifted over, Yue Guan's figure flashed, appearing half a step behind Bibi Dong.

"Your Highness, are you alright..."

His naturally gentle and soft face was pale as paper at that moment, with traces of venom faintly floating across it, and the orchid fingers he usually pinched could no longer be held in shape.

"Cough, cough..."

Another two weak coughs sounded as two Title Douluos of Spirit Hall appeared one after the other. Their complexions were gloomy, and even the battle armors on their bodies had been shattered, with toxic blood still lingering on them, clearly injured quite heavily.

"The desperate counterattack of that hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor was truly terrifying."

A Title Douluo recalled the scene just now, a trace of lingering fear faintly appearing in his eyes.

Their trip this time was for nothing other than that hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, the Death Spider Emperor, to find the opportunity for Bibi Dong to break through to Title Douluo.

Originally, two level-91 Title Douluos, plus the level-94 Chrysanthemum Douluo, alongside the level-89 Bibi Dong, were able to suppress that hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor from the start and would be able to slay it before long.

Yet, sensing the threat of death, the Death Spider Emperor launched a crazy counterattack, locking onto Bibi Dong, who had the lowest strength.

Even if it risked its life, it would drag Bibi Dong down to perish together.

Bibi Dong was not afraid, but the three Title Douluos were startled.

If an accident happened to the Holy Maiden here, their fault would be massive.

Amidst their worry, a flaw appeared in the surrounding formation, allowing the Death Spider Emperor to catch a sliver of an opportunity to escape, and it instantly detonated the origin power within the Spider Emperor's body.

Death Demon Scythe, Scythe Blast!

The violent black explosion, along with rampant dead Qi and a toxic shock wave, swept across a radius of hundreds of meters.

Even though the four of them had been prepared long ago, the power of Scythe Blast was still far too strong.

All four of them still sustained injuries.

And then came the chase.

It fled, they pursued; it fled again, they pursued again...

They fought all the way from daytime until late at night, pursuing it all the way to this core area of the Star Dou Forest.

But by this moment.

Yue Guan no longer dared to venture too deep.

Dangers lurked everywhere here, and if they were to encounter another hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast today, they would likely suffer heavy losses.

"Hmph~ Old Ghost is not here, otherwise how could this little spider have been allowed to escape so easily."

Yue Guan raised his hand, licking the blood oozing from his hand armor.

If Ghost Douluo were also here, the Two Extremes Static Domain would be able to pin down this Death Spider Emperor, and the two of them joining forces could calmly hunt it, so how would they give it a chance to escape?

Yet without Old Ghost, relying solely on himself was truly somewhat tricky.

"Your Highness, this is already the core area..."

Yue Guan glanced at the towering ancient trees densely covering the surroundings. The area was chillingly dead, as if countless pairs of high-level Soul Beast eyes were lurking in the dark, staring fixedly at them, and he was somewhat worried.

"Should we continue to pursue?"

Bibi Dong was also injured.

That beast launched a desperate counterattack, and her protective Soul Power was corroded right through by a mouthful of venom. The Holy Maiden robe on her left shoulder was even torn open by the giant death scythe, revealing her snow-white shoulder and half of her collarbone, while the side of her leg was also torn. The night wind swept past, blowing her long skirt and exposing a large expanse of snowy, delicate skin oozing beads of blood.

With every step she took, her curves were faintly visible, exceptionally alluring.

Yet her holy temperament, coupled with her noble identity as the Holy Maiden, meant no one dared to give rise to even a shred of blasphemous intent.

Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Death Spider Emperor, a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast.

For its sake, she did not hesitate to bring three Title Douluos into the Star Dou Forest, fighting all the way from daylight until dark.

Her Soul Power had been stuck at the 89th-rank peak for far too long.

If she could slay the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast Death Spider Emperor and seize her own ninth Soul Ring, she would break through the shackles in one fell swoop and ascend to the realm of Title Douluo.

She would take a giant step closer to her goal of revenge!

If she gave up like this, all her previous efforts would be wasted.

The Death Spider Emperor was injured and would definitely go into hiding to recuperate. Finding it again would take god knows how long.

She truly did not want to miss this opportunity.

Even if there were danger ahead... the greater the winds and waves, the greater the harvest!

"Pursue."

Bibi Dong said coldly, flicking her robe sleeve and walking at the very front.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was slightly startled. Having followed Her Highness the Holy Maiden for so many years, he knew her temper clearly.

Since she said to pursue, then they had to pursue.

He smiled bitterly and cast a glance at the two Title Douluos, signaling them to raise their vigilance to the utmost and make sure to protect the Holy Maiden's safety, then hurriedly followed after her.

The four of them spoke no more, pursuing dozens of miles further along the poisonous mist, and were already very close to the Lake of Life in the core area of the Star Dou Forest.

The poisonous mist also dissipated here, and the surroundings were chillingly quiet.

Not even a trace of insect chirping remained.

It was completely like another world.

The atmosphere of various high-level Soul Beasts intertwined in the air, and the few of them held their breath.

Once a major battle broke out here, the commotion would instantly attract other surrounding high-level Soul Beasts, among which powerful Soul Beasts exceeding one hundred thousand years would inevitably be drawn over.

Not to mention that two top-tier hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast overlords were already entrenched in this core area of the Star Lake.

If they were even slightly careless, they might well perish here with hatred.

Right at this moment.

"Stop."

Bibi Dong suddenly raised her hand.

Yue Guan was slightly startled, then followed Bibi Dong's line of sight to look over. After a brief stunned moment, an excited light suddenly burst forth in his eyes.

Ahead was a gigantic ancient tree.

Soaring straight into the sky, it blocked the heavens and the moonlight.

In the shadow beneath the ancient tree, however, a bizarre figure sat.

That was a youth, looking about eight years old, with his eyes tightly closed, sitting cross-legged in meditation, his breathing even.

The moonlight fell down, as if draping a layer of holy lunar gauze over his body, filled with a sacred aura.

With him as the center, a radius of hundreds of meters seemed to possess an invisible forbidden zone devoid of any living aura, as if stepping into it meant death.

As for the poisonous mist of the hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, the Death Spider Emperor, it completely dissipated here, and it was unknown where it had fled.

"Your Highness..."

Bibi Dong's gaze stirred, her voice cold: "Check his Soul Power."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Yue Guan nodded, slightly urging his Soul Power as a faint chrysanthemum fragrance scattered with the wind, spreading outward and carefully probing toward the youth like tentacles.

"There isn't a single shred of Soul Power fluctuation!"

Yue Guan's expression turned ecstatic. The two Title Douluos behind him were startled upon hearing this, and then all wore strange expressions, as if they had seen something incredible.

This was not some bustling human market.

Rather, it was the deepest core area of the Star Dou Forest.

Even for the few of them as Title Douluos, coming in required utmost caution.

Yet an eight-year-old child sat so openly right in the center, while not even Soul Beasts dared to approach the surroundings?

The composition of this entity hardly needed to be stated.

"A hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast that took human form!"

Yue Guan's voice grew even sharper, his excitement overflowing.

If this were a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast at its peak period, they would simply turn tail and run, never daring to fight on the opponent's home turf.

Yet after taking human form, without a natal domain and with their cultivation scattered, the infantile stage was extremely fragile.

Even if this was in the core area, and even if this soul beast in human form had high-level Soul Beast allies protecting it!

Yue Guan had ten thousand ways to kill him without a sound!

And a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast, upon being slain, would not only yield a red hundred-thousand-year Soul Ring, but more importantly, there was also a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone!

"Truly... after mountains and rivers that seemed to leave no path, the dark willow flowers and bright flowers of another village revealed themselves!"

Bibi Dong's breathing also grew rapid, sweat dampening the stray hair before her forehead and sticking to her snow-white cheeks, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
