After Flender finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Given the current state of the Spirit Hall Empire, it was only a matter of time before it ruled the entire Douluo Continent. A mere Vast Sea City was no match for the Spirit Hall Empire's army.
On the entire Douluo Continent, the only two forces capable of resisting the Spirit Hall Empire are now Heavenly Pursuit Academy and Sea God Island.
Sea God Island is far overseas, beyond the reach of the Spirit Hall Empire. Heavenly Pursuit Academy has always maintained neutrality, even after Ning Fengzhi and his group joined Heavenly Pursuit Academy, making the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a thing of the past.
Joining Heavenly Pursuit Academy is extremely difficult. Afterwards, one must not interfere in any battles within the Soul Master World, nor have any contact with any sect. Other forces that join Heavenly Pursuit Academy will swear a solemn oath, and if they betray Heavenly Pursuit Academy, their Martial Soul will be shattered.
Ultimately, the reason these two forces can remain aloof is because they both possess Level 99 Peerless Douluo, and these two forces are clearly ruthless to their enemies, but even more ruthless to their own people.
After some discussion, the group decided to go to Vast Sea City first, and if the Spirit Hall Empire really attacked Vast Sea City, they would then flee overseas.
Yang Podi has also solemnly stated within the Heavenly Pursuit Academy that in the future, no force that opposes the Spirit Hall Empire shall be accepted, and even less shall any remnants of the Clear Sky Sect be accepted, otherwise it will be easy to get into trouble. If there is a conflict with the Spirit Hall Empire over such matters, he will not get involved.
Yang Podi's words were quite harsh this time, showing no respect even to his two grandfathers. He had already done enough by aiding the enemy once; did they really think he had no temper?
Upon hearing these words, Yang Wudi, Yang Wushuang, and Niu Gao all turned pale, as if they were seeing Yang Podi's resolute demeanor for the first time.
Time flies, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
That morning, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo arrived at the Heavenly Pursuit Academy together, mainly to discuss with Yang Podi the plan to enter the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dugu Yan and Niu Meng were almost at Level 90. If they were given a Soul Bone or other treasure, they could break through to the Titled Douluo. However, Yang Podi thought about it and decided against it.
This trip to the Star Dou Great Forest will likely be extremely dangerous. If they encounter a counterattack from the Soul Beast Clan, Yang Podi won't have much time to protect the others.
Yang Podi left Heavenly Pursuit Academy with Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo and Qian Renxue.
All four were Titled Douluo, and their flight speed was extremely fast. They arrived at the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest in just two days.
In preparation for this trip to the core area of Star Dou Great Forest, the Spirit Hall Empire made thorough preparations. In addition to Bibi Dong, Golden Crocodile Douluo even personally took action, along with the Third Offering, Azure Luan Douluo, and the Sixth and Seventh Elders, Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo.
Besides Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, there are also Flame Eagle Douluo and Ghost Leopard Douluo.
In addition, there are three members of the Golden Generation, including Hu Liena, plus ten Soul Saint.
It's clear that the Spirit Hall Empire has made ample preparations for this Soul Hunting Operation. Apart from Golden Crocodile Douluo and his group, the others are either Agility Attack System Soul Master or flying Soul Master, or they possess extremely strong teamwork abilities.
Whether it's Qian Jun Douluo and Demon Subduing Douluo or Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, the combination of the two can unleash tremendous power.
After the group reunited, everyone began to quickly stealthily move through the Heartbeat Forest.
Ghost Douluo walked at the front of the group, while Ghost Leopard Douluo walked at the back. The two of them were the fastest among all the Soul Master, which also enhanced the group's mobility.
Moreover, throughout the entire operation, Golden Crocodile Douluo stayed almost constantly by Yang Podi's side, perhaps out of some kind of precaution.
Yang Podi pondered to himself: Logically speaking, Bibi Dong and the Worship Hall have never gotten along well. This time, in order to help Bibi Dong obtain Soul Ring, they actually dispatched four Titled Douluo. This is probably to prevent any unforeseen events, and of course, to protect their little princess Qian Renxue.
The journey through the Star Dou Great Forest went very smoothly. We encountered very few powerful Soul Beast along the way, and the occasional one or Soul Beast were easily dealt with by the Ghost Douluo ahead of us. It seems that the Ghost Douluo is indeed more suitable for scouting.
The group traveled for two full days before finally arriving at their destination: the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
After entering the core area, the group became more cautious, and they easily dealt with any ten -Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast they occasionally encountered.
Everyone quietly approached the area around the Lake of Life, concealing their Soul Power throughout the process to avoid alerting the enemy.
Sure enough, after searching for two days at the Lake of Life, they finally found their targets: the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python.
The Titan Giant Ape was playing around the Lake of Life, seemingly eating the corpse of some kind of Soul Beast.
The Sky Azure Bull Python was hidden in the Lake of Life. Although it did not reveal its form, a slender figure could be faintly seen in the water.
Bibi Dong had long coveted these two Soul Beast, especially the Sky Azure Bull Python, known as the Emperor of the Forest and the undisputed strongest. Of course, the world was unaware that the Star Dou Great Forest harbored such Ferocious Beast.
Moreover, the Sky Azure Bull Python possesses rare Dragon Clan bloodline and extremely powerful lightning attributes, making it a top-tier Soul Beast.
Although the Titan Giant Ape has been hunted many times, it still lives a lively life in the Star Dou Great Forest. Its bloodline is extremely powerful, and its strength is outstanding. It possesses extremely strong earth and strength attributes, Extreme Speed fast, and has amazing defense. Its attack and defense are almost flawless.
According to records, there are very few Soul Master who can defeat the Titan Giant Ape or possess Titan Giant Ape's Soul Ring. It should be noted that even a ten-thousand-year-old Titan Giant Ape has the strength to fight Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
These two Soul Beast can be considered legendary Soul Beast, and are the Soul Ring choices that countless Soul Master dream of.
According to the communication, Yang Podi himself will not take action against the two Soul Beast. His main purpose is to deter any Ferocious Beast that may appear. Only when the Ferocious Beast come out will Yang Podi truly help them.
The group concealed their presence and slowly approached the Titan Giant Ape, preparing to launch a fatal attack at any moment. After all, Soul Beast of this level were incredibly powerful when they fought with their lives on the line. Theoretically, they were no weaker than a level Level 96 Titled Douluo, and the Sky Azure Bull Python might even have reached the level of a level Level 97 Titled Douluo. In addition, these two Soul Beast possessed physical attributes far superior to those of ordinary Soul Beast.
The Titan Giant Ape by the Lake of Life, unaware of any danger, instead spoke to the Sky Azure Bull Python in the lake, "Brother, I want to go out and play for a while. Although that senior said there might be danger, how could there be any danger in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
A deep voice came from the lake. "Second brother, you've been too relaxed and too high-profile all these years. You should know that many Soul Master want to hunt you down."
"Don't forget, Sister Xiao Wu's mother was hunted down and killed by a human Soul Master."
Upon hearing this, the Titan Giant Ape seemed unusually disdainful. "If you and I had been there back then, we would have taught those despicable Soul Master a lesson and would never have let them succeed."
