Gu Yuena, Come Out and Meet Me!

"Slow Domain!"

"Gravity Domain!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape shouted at the same time.

Seeing how utterly Ye Qingtian looked down on the two brothers, they did not hesitate in the slightest and unleashed both of their exclusive domains.

Under the two domains, speed was weakened and the burden on the body increased. The effect was not simply one plus one equaling two; its true effect was multiplied.

"Old Ghost, make your move!"

Yue Guan gave a soft shout, putting on a show as though he were about to act.

He had already become a soul form and was now brothers with Gui Mei inside the Human Emperor Banner.

By now, he no longer had the slightest thought of returning to Bibi Dong's side. He only wanted to serve his sentence properly.

At those words,

Gui Mei's drifting soul did not hesitate either.

Having become a soul form, thanks to the Human Emperor Banner's special effects, he could still unleash the strength of a Titled Douluo.

He was certainly no match for Ye Qingtian, but a convict serving reform still had to look the part.

"Step back!"

"You pathetic tricks are wasting my time!"

Ye Qingtian said coldly.

An invisible force pressed down on Yue Guan and Gui Mei.

It completely disregarded their desire to be diligent prisoners undergoing reform.

A strange rhythm emanated from within the Human Emperor Banner, tightly restraining the two of them.

All talk and no skill—that was Yue Guan and Gui Mei in a nutshell.

Against the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape, the two of them had no idea of their own limits. Making a move would only be delivering themselves up to be crushed.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei's auras instantly withered.

They did not dare utter a single word of defiance to Ye Qingtian.

They obediently stayed near Qian Renxue, continuing to play the role of ordinary foot soldiers.

After scolding Yue Guan and Gui Mei, power suddenly erupted from Ye Qingtian's descending palm.

Rumble—

Above the vault of heaven,

A gigantic beast that blotted out the sky suddenly took shape.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape were both enormous.

Yet compared to the giant hand that had suddenly formed in the heavens, they seemed incomparably tiny.

"Da Ming, this human..." The Titan Giant Ape was somewhat horrified.

"Don't worry about that! Let's destroy them in one go and avenge Auntie!"

The Sky Azure Bull Python roared, pulling the Titan Giant Ape back to its senses.

Bang!!!

Before the two brothers could do anything,

The giant hand in the heavens crashed down with a boom.

Facing the descending giant hand, the two beasts' round eyes widened several times over.

Unparalleled force enveloped them. Their deafening roars resounded through the skies as though they intended to contend against the giant hand Ye Qingtian had brought down.

The Sky Azure Bull Python shot into the sky, while the Titan Giant Ape pushed off with both feet and actively charged toward the giant hand.

Then...

There was no then.

The giant hand came down completely.

A thunderous sound echoed through the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Many nearby Soul Beasts scattered in terror upon hearing it, not daring to come investigate what had happened.

The massive handprint smashed a giant pit into the earth, the outlines of its five fingers clearly visible.

The Sky Azure Bull Python was embedded in the mud, and the Titan Giant Ape fared no better, having also been ruthlessly hammered into the ground.

Only seconds earlier, the two brothers had looked so imposing. Now, they were as miserable as could be.

For others, brothers united could cut through gold.

For these two, brothers united could only go mad in the dirt!

Ye Qingtian casually suppressed the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape.

Suddenly, an invisible force surged upward from the ground, forcibly pulling the two brothers' enormous bodies out of the earth.

Without Ye Qingtian making any unnecessary movements,

An ethereal force forcibly lifted the two of them into the air.

Suspended in midair, the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape abruptly came to their senses. Ignoring the pain across their bodies, they looked at the calm and composed Ye Qingtian and roared in unison:

"Human, you humiliate us like this. We will surely launch a Beast Tide and make you pay a terrible price!"

"You people from Spirit Hall hunt our Soul Beasts. We will definitely settle these scores with you!"

Boom!

Another palm came down.

Huge golden stars appeared on the two brothers' foreheads.

Dazed and disoriented, they could barely tell who they were.

"Launch a Beast Tide? Two little nobodies like you are not qualified!"

"Now, the two of you will quiet down!"

Little nobodies?

What did that mean?

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape both froze.

They had encountered quite a few humans, but they simply could not understand the phrase.

Ye Qingtian could not be bothered to explain it to two weaklings. Invisible force held the two huge beasts aloft.

Strolling through the Star Dou Great Forest as though taking a leisurely walk, Ye Qingtian glanced at Yue Guan and Gui Mei again.

With the two guarding her, Qian Renxue also moved toward the Lake of Life.

"Da Ming, that place..."

"This human, could he be planning to awaken those lords?"

The Titan Giant Ape came to its senses.

Its head was still spinning, and it could not quite react.

Though under normal circumstances, it was not particularly quick-witted either, what Ye Qingtian had said just now...

They were not qualified to launch a Beast Tide.

That was indeed true. To mobilize countless Soul Beasts into a Beast Tide was not something they, mere Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, could accomplish.

Putting all the clues together, it seemed to understand somewhat.

The Sky Azure Bull Python reacted as well. Watching Ye Qingtian walk toward the Lake of Life below without the slightest hesitation,

Its heart rose to its throat.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei guarded Qian Renxue as they watched the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape block out

The blazing sun in the sky. The two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts made remarkably reliable parasols, blocking the scorching sunlight.

Especially since the two great Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts could not stir up any trouble before Ye Qingtian and had been crippled with a single slap.

The two, who understood the power of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and knew how strong Ye Qingtian was, still could not help drawing sharp breaths.

The Supreme Consecrated was truly terrifying!

A moment later,

Ye Qingtian stopped at the edge of the Lake of Life.

Ripples on the lake's surface entered his view, yet he could not sense the aura of any powerful Soul Beast at all.

Qian Renxue was slightly stunned and carefully sensed the area.

"Grandpa Tian, it seems there are no other powerful Soul Beast auras here. Is the secret you mentioned really here?"

"Those Multi-Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts you spoke of are sleeping beneath this lake?"

Hearing Qian Renxue's question, Ye Qingtian nodded slightly. "They are indeed sleeping below. Step back a little first, and you will soon see them!"

Qian Renxue obediently retreated some distance, remaining where she could clearly see the Lake of Life. Guarded by Yue Guan and Gui Mei, her eyes were nearly fixed wide open.

Ye Qingtian still stood with his hands behind his back. Seeing Qian Renxue retreat some distance,

He suddenly raised his foot and stomped fiercely. Terrifying power rushed through the sole of his foot and drilled deep into the ground.

The earth instantly cracked. Tremors no weaker than those caused by the Titan Giant Ape's arrival swept across the Lake of Life and the vast surrounding region.

At the same time, a dignified voice emerged from between his lips:

"I, Ye Qingtian, have come to visit the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Gu Yuena, come out and meet me!!"
