Ape God Activated? Instant GG and a New Summoning Card

The next second, a massive commotion erupted.

ROAR!!

Under the terrified gazes of Zhao Wuji and the other four, a deafening roar rang out as trees along the way were crushed.

A "colossal" figure emerged from within.

It was a being comparable to a mountain, with shoulders over seven meters high and a standing height of roughly fifteen meters.

It resembled an ape and a chimpanzee, its lantern-sized eyes gleaming with yellow crystal light.

Its muscles were immensely powerful, every inch of its skin bulging like granite and carrying a metallic sheen.

Though it moved on all fours, its oppressive aura was horrifying. Every step it took made hearts tremble and courage shatter.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuji spoke with mingled delight and fury.

"Hahahaha, this thing is the king of the Great Star Dou Forest—the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape! You're all going to die too!!"

The Titan Giant Ape's vicious reputation made it an undisputed overlord. Within the forest, it even surpassed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

The original story had said that with merely a hundred years of cultivation, they could rival Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

Both its strength and speed were top-tier. Its offense and defense had virtually no flaws, and it could even unleash abilities akin to soul skills.

Within this forest, it was unquestionably—

the Ape God!

But the next second, Zhao Wuji froze.

It was not just Zhao Wuji. Even Tang San stood there blankly, because...

Before everyone's eyes, the forest king, the Titan Giant Ape, meekly lowered its head, looking remarkably humble.

It extended a giant palm and lifted Xiao Wu in its hand.

This Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Titan Giant Ape, acted incredibly subserviently, no different from a bootlicker.

"Roar~"

The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, gave a low growl, seemingly asking Xiao Wu how she wanted to deal with the ants on the ground.

"Xiao Wu, this is...?"

Tang San stopped channeling his second soul skill and raised his face, his heart full of confusion.

"Third Brother, Er Ming is my companion. Don't worry... Xiao Wu will definitely get justice for you!!"

Xiao Wu looked down at Tang San. The Rogue Rabbit had successfully found a reason to act.

"Er Ming, do it! Deal with that snake and them."

With a single command from Xiao Wu, she ordered the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming.

In Xiao Wu's view, dealing with these people would be effortless. It would not even take two punches from Er Ming.

The "Hundred-Thousand-Year" Soul Beast Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent coiled itself into a bow shape, its eyes wide with fury as it refused to show weakness.

"Hiss hiss~~"

Ning Rongrong's face turned pale and her limbs went weak. She could not help secretly regretting that she had not used her trump card immediately.

At the critical moment, another unexpected change occurred.

Clang~!

A cold glint arrived first, followed by a sword that shot forth like a dragon!

Before everyone's eyes, a dazzling dark-gold sword beam flew over from the distance and slashed toward the Titan Giant Ape.

The sword beam was so sharp that even one extra glance made their skin ache.

The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, reacted swiftly. It shielded Xiao Wu with its left hand and leaped backward with both legs.

But the dark-gold sword beam seemed to have eyes, turning along with it.

Accompanied by a piercing shriek through the air, it struck directly at the ape arm.

Seeing that it could not dodge, the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, let a layer of black defensive light rise over its skin and chose to take the attack head-on.

Splat—!!

Before the shocked eyes of everyone from Shrek, the dark-gold sword beam paused slightly before cutting through the Titan Giant Ape's skin.

With an enraged roar, scarlet blood began to flow.

But it was not over. From the wound created by that slash, surging crimson-gold flames rapidly ignited.

ROAR!!

The crimson-gold flames spread at an incredible speed. No matter how the Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, flung its body around, it could not extinguish them.

Only after it used that layer of black energy to scour them away for a full five seconds did it finally neutralize the crimson-gold flames.

This sudden development completely shattered the stalemate between both sides.

Following the direction from which the dark-gold sword beam had come, everyone present involuntarily turned their heads to search for the attacker.

Yet the people who entered their sight were old acquaintances.

"Clang clang~ Lord Sparkle has arrived."

The twin-tailed girl Sparkle bounced forward, holding a fox mask in her hand, a smile on her pretty face.

"This young lady has made her entrance."

The pink-haired March 7th held a longbow, her aura fully unleashed as she carefully surveyed the situation.

Nine Soul Rings rose around her, every single one blood-red.

This sight added a touch more majesty to March 7th.

Jingliu remained as she was, with white hair and red eyes. Holding the Tanhua Sword, she stood guard beside Xu Yuan.

At this moment, Xu Yuan had already summoned his martial soul, Dawnmaker. Six Soul Rings pulsed up and down around him.

Two black, two red, and two gold.

Dawnmaker had long since transformed into a radiant dark-gold color. Clearly, that earlier strike had come from him.

Beside Xu Yuan was also a massive lion-type Soul Beast, crimson-gold all over and naturally carrying the aura of a king.

Summoned beast—the Blazing Lion King!

"What a grand lineup. Two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, plus a wonderful little scene of backstabbing your teammates. Splendid!"

"No, there's only one Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast now."

Xu Yuan smiled faintly as he silently controlled the illusory Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent created by [Mirror Flower, Water Moon] to flee.

The situation on the field had taken twist after twist, and Tang San and Xiao Wu's expressions immediately turned extremely ugly.

Their attempt to silence everyone had been discovered, and Tang San's face darkened like the bottom of a pot.

But Xiao Wu's face looked even worse, because there were three Titled Douluo present, forming an encirclement!

That pink-haired girl with the bow, March 7th, was actually a Titled Douluo as well, and her aura was terrifying.

Three Titled Douluo, plus a freak who could forcibly break through the defenses of a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast despite only being a Soul Emperor.

Xiao Wu's rabbit brain could only think of one thing: perhaps the tragedy of Spirit Hall would be reenacted once more.

Compared to Tang San and Xiao Wu's despair, Zhao Wuji and the others all revealed delighted expressions.

With three Titled Douluo joining the battle, their certain death situation today had been resolved.

Xiao Wu ordered with a gloomy expression, "Er Ming, capture that Soul Emperor first. Only then can we escape."

The Titan Giant Ape nodded slightly and stretched out a black ape arm as large as a palm leaf, grabbing toward Xu Yuan.

Whoosh~!

A cold flash streaked past as Jingliu slashed out with the Tanhua Sword in hand.

Accompanied by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground, one of the Titan Giant Ape's left arms was severed on the spot, its blood frozen solid.

"Roar~"

The pain of its severed arm cut deep into its bones. The Titan Giant Ape, Er Ming, was both shocked and enraged, even feeling as if its life were flashing before its eyes.

Immediately afterward, the Titan Giant Ape used its remaining intact right arm to seize Xiao Wu and Tang San.

With a powerful throw, it sent the two of them flying away first.

Then, the Titan Giant Ape opened its blood-filled maw and charged up, spitting out a powerful yellow sphere of light.

Titan Skybreak!

Combined with Gravity Mire, it attempted to trap Xu Yuan and the other three.

Just as Xu Yuan was about to act, Jingliu flashed forward to stand before him, raising the ice-wreathed Tanhua Sword.

She slashed out an even more dazzling crescent sword beam!!

Whoosh~!

The massive crescent-shaped sword light was like a blue-white bolt of lightning. Though launched later, it arrived first and engulfed the sphere of light.

In an instant, the Titan Giant Ape was plunged into darkness.

Boom!

Blood sprayed everywhere as the enormous black head of the Titan Giant Ape fell and smashed into the ground.

The Ape God got GG'd at light speed.
