Keeping his eyes fixed on the blazing battlefield ahead, Tang Chuan could not help frowning. A Soul Beast standing several meters tall, with three enormous heads?

"This guy..." Tang Chuan's eyes flickered as he muttered under his breath, "A three-headed Soul Beast? Its entire body is red as blood, and it has an extremely vicious Fire Attribute aura..."

Fragments of information about various Soul Beasts rapidly flashed through his mind. At last, his gaze sharpened, as if he had remembered something.

"Judging by its appearance, this guy should be the Scarlet King, Three-Headed Red Demon Mastiff—one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts!"

When he said the last five words, Tang Chuan's heartbeat quickened. In his view, shouldn't the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts have been in the Core Area?

Immediately afterward, Tang Chuan's gaze fell upon the two people fighting the Scarlet King.

At this moment, although the Scarlet King had left the two figures in a sorry state, the auras radiating from their bodies remained overwhelmingly powerful. Nine Spirit Rings rose and circled around them, making them appear like gods descending to the mortal world.

His gaze narrowed slightly as Tang Chuan quickly began analyzing the situation. Descriptions of Titled Douluo from the original novel kept flashing through his mind. "One of them is thin and carries a golden Snake Lance. His attacks are as fast as lightning, and his Spirit Skills contain extremely powerful piercing force. The other is swollen like a ball, covered in spikes, and his Spirit Skills seem to carry an intense poison..."

"Someone wielding a Snake Lance, with Soul Power surging like a dragon breaking through a formation—that's Snake Lance Douluo!"

"And the other one, shaped like a ball and covered in poison, should be Porcupinefish Douluo!"

"Shouldn't they be in Heaven Dou City right now, guarding Qian Renxue? Why are they here? Could it be... Qian Renxue is nearby as well?"

At that thought, Tang Chuan sucked in a sharp breath. He raised his head and looked toward the area not far from the battlefield. The Golden Light had yet to fully dissipate, and a sacred pressure still lingered in the air.

Just as Tang Chuan watched the battle with a solemn expression, the corner of his eye caught a strange Dark Gold light not far away.

His eyelid twitched violently. His gaze immediately locked onto the area beneath a fallen tree in the distance. It was the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear that had been gravely wounded earlier!

By now, the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear had long since lost all signs of life. Its corpse lay sprawled across the ground, its right arm corroded by the Poison until the flesh was a bloody mess. Yet amid that ruined flesh, a bone faintly glimmering with Dark Gold light was gradually appearing in his field of vision.

"That's—a Spirit Bone?!"

Tang Chuan's eyes instantly sharpened. A brilliant light burst from his pupils, and his face filled with incredulous delight.

"That Dark Gold glow... Could it be the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's Palm Bone?" Tang Chuan's heart jolted, his pupils contracting as he muttered inwardly.

Spirit Bones were treasures that could only be encountered by chance. Even throughout the entire Spirit Master World, they were extraordinarily rare. And if this Spirit Bone before him was the most destructive Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear Palm Bone, then placing it in the Spirit Master World would be enough to trigger a bloody battle!

At the same time.

The earth-shaking battle continued ahead. The Scarlet King's three heads spewed scorching flames and Destruction Shockwaves, while Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo had fallen completely into a disadvantageous position.

In the distant sky, another Golden Light flickered faintly.

"Keep fighting, keep fighting. It'd be best if both sides ended up badly wounded. Then I can fish in troubled waters. Maybe I can even pick up that Thousand-Year Jade Swan you knock unconscious." After muttering under his breath, Tang Chuan did not hesitate at all. The emerald-green vines he had transformed into with Simulate Skill stretched and twisted continuously, silently creeping toward the Dark-Gold Dreadclaw Bear's corpse.

At last, the vines quietly burrowed into the ruined flesh of the bear's right arm. The next moment, a faint scorching heat and heavy pressure traveled from the very tip of the vines.

"Found it!"

A sharp glint flashed through Tang Chuan's eyes. He controlled the vines to wrap around it once, then gently pulled.

"Whoosh!"

A bone roughly the size of a palm, gleaming with a dim golden light, separated from the flesh and landed securely in Tang Chuan's palm.

This Spirit Bone resembled a palm and was not very large, but five long, narrow blades had emerged from its front, like a miniature Dreadclaw. A Dark Gold halo flowed constantly across the blades like rippling water, giving it the air of a divine weapon.

"This time, I really found a treasure."

"You guys keep going. I'm leaving first!"

After obtaining the Spirit Bone, Tang Chuan glanced at the sky. Then, without the slightest hesitation, he turned around, transformed back into an emerald-green vine, and rapidly fled toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In his eyes, the life or death of these two Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall had nothing to do with him.

Even if he genuinely wanted to help, with his current strength, the only possible outcome would be becoming cannon fodder. How could he save her? Turn into Di Tian and scare the Scarlet King?

And what if Di Tian really came out afterward?

"It's better to avoid trouble. Staying alive comes first."

Tang Chuan thought this to himself as his figure became a green blur, darting through the dense forest and rapidly retreating along the path he had taken to arrive.

"Ah—"

Before he had gone very far, a shrill scream suddenly rang out from the dense forest ahead, filled with unbearable pain and unwillingness.

"Boom!"

As the scream faded, a heavy impact followed, as if someone had been violently smashed against a tree. The entire tree shook fiercely, and its leaves rustled down.

Tang Chuan's advancing form halted. The tip of the vine he had transformed into curled slightly before stopping on a branch. His heart tightened as he wondered, "I think I just heard a human voice. Could it be Qian Renxue?"

After hesitating for a moment, he slowly concealed his aura and stealthily approached the source of the sound.

Tang Chuan did not charge in recklessly. Instead, he used Simulate Skill to disguise himself once more as an ordinary Blue Silver Grass growing on the ground, inching toward the source of the voice.

After passing through several towering ancient trees, he finally saw what was happening ahead.

A golden-haired man lay in a sorry state beneath a huge tree. Blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth, while his clothes were stained with mud and blood and looked somewhat tattered.

Behind the man, the tree bore a deep impact mark. Wood chips had flown everywhere, and the trunk was slightly cracked. It was obvious how terrifying the force of that earlier impact had been.

Tang Chuan's gaze contracted sharply, and his expression changed slightly. Golden short hair? A man? Coupled with the identities of the two Titled Douluo who had previously fought the Scarlet King...

"Could he be Qian Renxue?" Tang Chuan's heart jolted as he asked in a deep voice.

At that moment, a beast roar rang out from ahead.

"Roar—!"

Tang Chuan turned his gaze, and his eyes instantly fell upon the area directly in front of Qian Renxue. Seven or eight Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts had surrounded her completely.

"Damn, why are there so many Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts?" After drawing in a cold breath, Tang Chuan's gaze finally settled on the leading Soul Beast at the front.

It was a lion-shaped Soul Beast covered in brilliant golden fur. Golden Flames burned beneath its feet, and a vertical eye grew conspicuously in the center of its forehead.

"Three eyes, golden fur... That's the Imperial Auspicious BeastThree-Eyed Golden Lion?!" Tang Chuan frowned deeply, his eyes filled with shock.

"Why is she here?"

"Qian Renxue? Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Scarlet King!!"

At this moment, the many pieces of information in Tang Chuan's mind rapidly connected. Clearly, Qian Renxue had wanted to hunt the Three-Eyed Golden Lion for her Spirit Ring, ultimately enraging the Scarlet King and causing it to attack. Then, the two Titled Douluo under her command had been too occupied dealing with the Scarlet King's clone to spare any attention. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had led the other Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest in pursuit. She had been unable to resist and was beaten into her current state.

Just then, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion raised her head high. Her third eye suddenly opened, erupting with a dazzling Golden Light that struck fear into the soul!

"Roar—!"

An enraged roar echoed through the sky, shaking the entire forest.

In that instant, it was as if the entire Star Dou Great Forest had fallen silent.

Then, the seven or eight Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts surrounding her all growled in response. Their feet slowly moved forward as their chilling auras pressed toward Qian Renxue step by step.

The vegetation bent toward the ground, and the air grew still.

A shadow of death, like a heavy dark cloud, enveloped her head.

Qian Renxue's face was pale. She tried to struggle to her feet, but her knees went weak, and she nearly fell again. At this moment, she could barely stand, so how could she possibly resist such an encirclement?

"Am I really going to die here?"

"Grandfather, I miss you so much..."

Watching the approaching Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Beasts, Qian Renxue drew a deep breath. A trace of struggle and stubbornness flashed through her golden Eyes, but in the blink of an eye, despair swallowed it whole.

At the same time, not far away, Tang Chuan, who had transformed into a vine, hung quietly beneath a huge tree. He calmly watched the scene before him but did not move.

He was hesitating.

"Should I save her or not?" Tang Chuan's voice was barely audible.

If it had been anyone else, he would probably have turned around and left long ago, refusing to get involved in such a tremendous danger.

But the person before him was no ordinary person.

She was the daughter of the Pope of Spirit Hall, the future heir to the Angel God's legacy, and the successor to the most powerful force on the Douluo Continent! If he could save her life now, then in the turbulent continent of the future, it would be equivalent to gaining an unbreakable Amulet!

She had tremendous value to him!

Although she was a descendant of Qian Xunji, and her father had certain grievances with Tang Chuan, as the saying went—once the chief culprit had been punished, why implicate unrelated people?

If the Yunlan Sect back then had been replaced by Tang San, then probably everyone would have followed the Path to Death. But that was the difference between Xiao Yan and Tang San, and also the difference between a modern person who had received a higher education and a feudal man who knew only loyalty to the monarch, the sect, and thieves.

Tang Chuan would not become a dog of the Tang Family, nor would he be loyal to the Clear Sky Sect.

Everything he did was for himself!

"But the problem is, my Soul Power is only Level Twenty right now, and I haven't even obtained my Second Spirit Ring. What could I possibly use to save her?"
