Battle Against the Titan Giant Ape!

The Titan Giant Ape stood where it was, its enormous body not moving an inch. It did not even make any defensive motion.

It merely glanced at Chao Tianxiang, then slowly closed its huge eyes.

The next moment, the jade-green stream of energy slammed solidly into the Titan Giant Ape's forehead.

There was no explosion as expected, nor any sight of torn flesh and split skin.

The stream of energy was like it had struck a mountain. It only stirred up a few black hairs on the Titan Giant Ape's tough hide.

Chao Tianxiang's face instantly turned deathly pale.

"This is impossible!"

She cried out despite herself.

She was a Soul Emperor!

Her ten-thousand-year soul skill! With the other party treating it so casually, it actually could not even break through its defense?

Flender's heart sank at the sight.

"Senior Snake Dowager, don't attack again!"

Flender's voice was edged with anxiety. He had thought he was only bringing Tang San and Xiao Wu to kill a Thousand Year Soul Beast, which was why he had used his Martial Soul Avatar to save time.

Now things were just great. His Martial Soul Avatar was still on cooldown, and he simply could not bring out his strongest strength!

Flender hurriedly shot Zhao Wuji a look.

Even if it was the Titan Giant Ape, he could fly, after all, so protecting himself probably would not be a problem. Let the children leave first!

Zhao Wuji saw Flender's look and understood in his heart.

He was also inwardly frightened. After all, the aura this Titan Giant Ape was giving off was far too terrifying.

He immediately turned and shouted to the disciples behind him, "Quick! Stop standing there! Follow me and fall back!"

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Meng Yiran, Tang San, and the others did not understand what had happened, but when they saw Zhao Wuji's grave expression, they immediately moved.

Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang was unwilling, but seeing the Titan Giant Ape's attitude of ignoring everything, she also knew that forcing a head-on clash was no solution.

She withdrew her martial soul, turned, and followed in Zhao Wuji's direction.

As everyone began to retreat, Flender quickly stepped forward several paces, forcing a smile onto his face.

"Respected king of the forest..."

The Titan Giant Ape's enormous eyes slowly opened. Its gaze swept over the people retreating, then stopped on Xiao Wu in the crowd, and it let out a displeased roar.

Afterward, an invisible force spread out from its massive body.

Everyone who was retreating felt their bodies suddenly sink, as if they had abruptly fallen into thick mud. Every step became incomparably difficult, their legs seeming to be filled with lead.

"What's going on? My body's so heavy!"

Ma Hongjun let out a strange cry and struggled to run, only to find his speed was as slow as a snail.

Dai Mubai's expression was grave. "This is... Gravity Domain?!"

He felt the heavy pressure around him, shocked in his heart.

This degree of Gravity Domain—he had only ever felt it from Zhao Wuji, but this...

Tang San clenched his teeth, trying to mobilize the Blue Silver Grass Soul Power within his body, but under this terrifying gravity, even the circulation of his Mysterious Heaven Skill became sluggish.

Zhao Wuji's expression was uglier still.

With just this one contact, his heart chilled even further! Before the Titan Giant Ape's Gravity Domain, his soul skills were like a child playing house!

Running probably was no longer possible.

He stopped retreating, turned to face the Titan Giant Ape, then gave an angry roar. His body began to swell, and seven soul rings spiraled upward.

Great Strength Vajra Bear, Martial Soul Avatar!

"Boss Fu, I'm afraid running won't be so easy!"

Zhao Wuji's voice became rough and deep. "Let the children run. We'll hold it off!"

Flender's expression was dark at this moment.

High-level soul beasts possessed intelligence no lower than humans, so just now he had still been thinking that perhaps they could appease the soul beast before them!

But now it seemed...

Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang also stopped, glancing at Meng Yiran, worry in her eyes.

"Yiran, withdraw with them first!"

Chao Tianxiang said, "Grandma will be fine. Your grandfather will definitely be here soon!"

Meng Yiran looked at her grandmother, then at that terrifying Titan Giant Ape, and her eyes instantly reddened.

"I won't! Grandma, I want to stay!"

Oscar grew anxious at the sight. He stepped forward and grabbed Meng Yiran's arm.

What met his hand was a young girl's soft skin, and his heart fluttered, but it was immediately suppressed by fear.

"Miss Yiran, the few of us won't be any help if we stay."

Oscar tried to dissuade her.

"If we stay here, we'll only distract Teacher and Senior Snake Dowager!"

Meng Yiran looked at Oscar's anxious face, then looked at her grandmother. She bit her lip, and in the end gave a small nod before turning to follow Oscar and the others, continuing their difficult retreat toward the outskirts.

Flender watched Meng Yiran and the others' struggling figures and knew there was no other way at this point.

Zhao Wuji let out an angry roar, and the third, fifth, and sixth soul rings on his body lit up at the same time with dazzling radiance.

Then, carrying the berserk power of the Great Strength Vajra Bear, he blasted toward the Titan Giant Ape!

Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang also struck at the same time.

The sixth soul ring on her body shone, and a massive jade-green snake shadow rushed out from her Serpent Cane, carrying a foul, fishy stench as it tried to coil around the Titan Giant Ape's body.

The Cat Eagle wings behind Flender beat fiercely, lifting his body into the air. Then the fourth soul ring on his body lit up, and dozens of enormous wind blades tore through the air with sharp whistles, slashing toward the Titan Giant Ape's neck.

At the same time, elsewhere in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Dragon Duke Meng Shu was just knocking a huge Man Faced Demon Spider unconscious.

"Haha, Yiran's third soul ring has finally been settled."

Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he turned to look toward the distant sky.

"Hmm?"

He sensed that in that direction, there were several powerful fluctuations of Soul Power!

Within those fluctuations was Chao Tianxiang's aura, as well as two auras at the Soul Saint level.

"Two Soul Saints and one Soul Emperor fighting a soul beast in the outer area?"

Dragon Duke could not help feeling somewhat puzzled.

Since when had such a powerful soul beast appeared in the outer regions of the Star Dou Great Forest? It could actually force two Soul Saints and one Soul Emperor to join hands?

However, when he sensed that Chao Tianxiang's aura seemed somewhat disordered, his expression changed at once, and he had no time to think further.

The martial soul in his hand extended, wrapping around the unconscious Soul-Eating Demon Spider.

Then his body turned into a streak of flowing light, flying at extreme speed toward the direction from which the fluctuations had come!

The combined strike of Zhao Wuji, Flender, and Snake Dowager Chao Tianxiang, carrying powerful Soul Power fluctuations, was about to slam into the Titan Giant Ape!

However, as the Titan Giant Ape watched all of this, the corner of its mouth seemed to tug slightly, its expression filled with disdain.

Dense black flames of aura surged from its body, roiling with a stifling, terrifying presence.

Then it suddenly opened its great mouth and let out a roar that shook heaven and earth!

Roar—

The sound wave, wrapped in black flames of aura, formed a terrifying shockwave visible to the naked eye.

The shockwave moved with extreme speed, arriving first despite being launched later.

The soul skill attacks of Zhao Wuji and the other two were instantly scattered before this shockwave.

The shockwave continued forward, directly blasting into the three of them.

At once, the three of them were like kites with their strings cut, smashing hard into the ground. Blood spilled uncontrollably from their mouths, and they looked utterly wretched.

And the aftermath of that terrifying shockwave still continued to spread.

Tang San and the others, who were in the middle of a difficult retreat, were immediately struck head-on by the aftermath.

Even though they had already run nearly a thousand meters away, it was still lethal to them!

Their bodies were violently thrown into the air, tumbling before crashing heavily onto the hard ground. Then the violent shock made their vision go black, and they passed out!

The Titan Giant Ape paid no attention to Zhao Wuji, Snake Dowager, and Flender.

Its enormous body abruptly bent. Then, with a burst of strength from both legs, it sprang up fiercely!

With just a single leap, it crossed nearly a thousand meters and instantly arrived at the spot where Tang San and the others had fallen unconscious.

Its enormous eyes swept over the people on the ground, and its gaze once again locked onto the unconscious Xiao Wu. Its huge hand, covered in black fur, reached out and gently picked up the unconscious Xiao Wu.

Then the Titan Giant Ape bent its body again and leaped fiercely.

In just a few rises and falls, its enormous figure disappeared into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The next moment, a figure descended from the sky in a hurry, throwing the Man Faced Demon Spider coiled in his hand onto the ground.

It was Dragon Duke Meng Shu.

However, when he saw the scene before him, he froze completely.

The ground all around was in utter ruin, trees uprooted, while Zhao Wuji, Chao Tianxiang, and Flender were all in an extremely sorry state.

But his granddaughter Meng Yiran was nowhere to be seen.

"Old woman, what happened here? Where's Yiran?!"
