Can You Avoid Hitting My Face?

"It's here!"

"His aura is even more imposing than it was forty years ago!"

"What kind of terrifying existence is he?" Ah Rou stared in the direction the aura was coming from, her voice heavy and her gaze solemn.

As soon as Ah Rou finished speaking, the Sky Azure Bull Python looked toward the source of that aura.

Then, it shook its head in disbelief.

"It's truly unimaginable. Forty years ago, his aura was evenly matched with ours.

Yet only forty years have passed, and his aura has surged to such a terrifying extent.

With an aura like that, he could probably pin us to the ground and grind us into dust."

After Ah Rou and the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape also revealed a trace of astonishment in its scarlet eyes. Its voice rumbled like thunder, shaking the mountains and rivers.

"Only forty years have passed. How did he reach such a horrifying level?"

"And why has he come to our Star Dou Forest this time?"

The Titan Giant Ape looked toward the Lake of Life and fell into deep thought.

Its memories returned to forty years ago.

Forty years ago, they had been beaten into submission by Little Black's heaven-defying combat strength. Forced to withdraw from the core region of Star Dou Forest, they had ceded the Lake of Life to him.

But none of them had expected that, aside from his powerful bloodline, the mysterious Little Black also possessed an innate ability to break through barriers.

Any barrier in the world was as good as nonexistent before him.

Relying on that innate ability, Little Black had accidentally passed through the barrier beneath the Lake of Life and entered the Underground World.

Although the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python had no idea what Little Black encountered in the Underground World, agonized howls had echoed over the Lake of Life for an entire day.

From those cries, they had roughly guessed what happened.

After Little Black entered the Underground World, he had definitely been beaten senseless by those several ancient and terrifying existences.

Now, forty years had passed. Judging by his aura, Little Black's strength was no longer what it used to be, so...

After a long while, the Titan Giant Ape slowly said, "Could it be that he wants to...!"

It did not dare to say the rest aloud.

Its finger pointed toward the Lake of Life before them.

The Sky Azure Bull Python, Ah Rou, and Xiao Wu fell silent.

"Should we stop him?" Seeing that none of the other beasts spoke and that it was putting on a one-man show, the Titan Giant Ape scratched the back of its head and asked foolishly.

The Sky Azure Bull Python promptly gave it a hard slap.

"Is your head full of water?" it snapped.

"Stop him with what?"

"You going?"

"Forty years ago, even when the two of us joined forces, we were no match for him. Now, he'd only pin us to the ground and grind us into dust!"

"Forty years have passed, and he is even stronger than before. What are we supposed to fight him with?"

The Titan Giant Ape nodded stupidly and scratched the back of its head. "Da Ming is right. So what do we do?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python smacked the Titan Giant Ape on the forehead with its tail. "What else can we do? Run, obviously!"

"Are we supposed to stay here and wait for him to come beat us up?"

"Do you have some kind of fetish for being abused by him?"

With that, the Sky Azure Bull Python concealed all of its aura and slipped into the bottom of the lake.

The Titan Giant Ape nodded stupidly, feeling that the Sky Azure Bull Python made sense.

It grabbed Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, the mother and daughter, then burst forth at top speed and leaped away from the Lake of Life.

The Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape had barely left when Little Black arrived.

Standing atop the Lake of Life, Little Black looked at the now tranquil lake before him.

A trace of confusion involuntarily surfaced in his pitch-black eyes.

"Where did those two little fellows go?"

"Their auras were clearly still here just now. How did they disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Sensing the residual auras of the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape gradually fading away, Little Black furrowed his brows and muttered.

His gaze swept around the area as his spiritual power traced their trail.

A moment later, Little Black withdrew his gaze.

He turned to stare at the Lake of Life before him and hesitated for a long time.

In the end, Little Black still did not dare to enter.

"Ah..." With a sigh, he turned around and headed back.

However, just as Little Black turned around, the Lake of Life below suddenly seemed to come alive.

An unknown, mysterious energy emerged from the center of the lake, filling the entire Lake of Life in an instant.

Countless Nine-Colored ripples appeared across the Lake of Life. Nine-Colored Energy gathered within the lake, forming a vortex.

Swoosh!

With a sharp swoosh, a sudden change erupted in the Lake of Life before him.

The surface of the lake transformed as tens of thousands of strands of Nine-Colored Energy condensed.

At once, a colorless, transparent giant hand formed from lake water appeared out of thin air.

As though it had eyes, the giant hand suddenly grabbed at Little Black above the Lake of Life.

Before Little Black could even understand what was happening, the giant hand made of lake water seized him and dragged him into the lake.

Caught off guard, Little Black was pulled into the Lake of Life.

Little Black's terrifying hundred-zhang body crashed into the Lake of Life, setting off enormous waves.

The giant hand formed from lake water clamped down tightly on Little Black,

rendering him unable to move. He could only be dragged down toward the lakebed.

The colorless, transparent barrier at the bottom of the lake instantly appeared before Little Black.

The moment he saw the barrier, Little Black understood the intention of this mysterious giant hand.

It clearly wanted to drag him into the Underground World!

In that instant, Little Black felt a chill rise within him for no reason, and a shadow fell over his heart.

The several terrifying ferocious beasts of the Underground World surfaced in his mind, along with the horrifying memory of being brutally beaten by them.

Those memories crashed through his mind like a tidal wave.

Little Black's expression gradually turned terrified, black light flickering across the scales on his body.

His hundred-zhang body suddenly erupted with vast energy, trying to break free from the energy hand binding him.

However, that force was far above his own.

Even after Little Black exerted every ounce of strength and drew upon all the primordial power within his body, he still could not shake it in the slightest.

Without any power to resist, he was dragged through the barrier by the energy hand and into the Underground World.

As his body completely passed through the barrier, despair deepened in Little Black's eyes.

At that moment, he only hoped his scales were hard enough to withstand the beating from those ferocious beasts later.

Boom!

Little Black's hundred-zhang body crashed straight into the Underground World, causing the entire Underground World to rumble and shake.

At that very moment, the energy hand restricting his freedom abruptly vanished.

Freed from the energy hand's restraints, Little Black regained his freedom at once.

He slowly climbed to his feet and transformed into human form.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

But just as Little Black stood up, seven black shadows flashed down before him, surrounding him.

Terrifying ferocious beast auras bore down directly on his face.

Beyond those terrifying auras was endless malice.

Little Black: "...!"

Well, judging by that hostility, he was probably in for a vicious beating.

What a regret!

If he had known this would happen, he never should have approached the Lake of Life.

After catching the soul beast, he should have just gone back.

If he had not approached the Lake of Life, he would not have been seized by the giant hand formed from that mysterious force and dragged down to the bottom of the lake.

"Um... I actually came in by accident..." Little Black looked at Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts, whose expressions were far from friendly. He swallowed, wanting to explain his innocence.

Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the other seven great ferocious beasts remained silent, staring at Little Black with murderous eyes.

They looked utterly vicious, as though they wanted to swallow him whole.

They all remembered Little Black.

Forty years ago, Little Black had also barged into the Underground World once.

But they had beaten him until he was half dead.

In the end, only because their master had spoken up did they spare his snake life.

Seeing that Di Tian and the others could not be reasoned with, Little Black resigned himself to his fate and clasped his hands over his head.

"Um... could you avoid hitting my face...?"
