"Human beings."
The deep and majestic voice of the Sky Azure Bull Python resounded directly in the air, not through its throat, but through the vibration of the air created by its Soul Skill. It carried the unique oppressive feeling of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, causing the surrounding trees to rustle.
"You are too greedy." The Sky Azure Bull Python's gaze was fixed on Yu Tianheng. With each opening and closing of its massive jaws, a foul-smelling wind swept out. "The human expert behind you attacked us earlier, which already injured us. Now you still want to step forward and try to steal Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring? Don't ask for trouble. This is not something you can handle."
Its tail swayed gently behind it, leaving deep furrows with each sweep of its blade. "While we still have patience, we should retreat now to save our lives. Otherwise, no one can save you."
This statement is both a threat and a warning.
The Sky Azure Bull Python's mountain-like body stood in front of him, its immense pressure as Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast bearing down like a tangible force, as if the air itself had frozen.
Yu Tianheng's black hair was blown wildly backward by the tremendous force, and his robes fluttered in the wind, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, without the slightest sign of retreat.
His steps didn't stop; in fact, they quickened, each step leaving tiny cracks in the ground.
Just as he approached within a hundred feet of the Sky Azure Bull Python, he suddenly clenched his right hand, and a dazzling golden light burst forth from his palm. Immediately afterward, a long spear with dark golden patterns flowing throughout its body appeared out of thin air.
The spear was twelve feet long, its sharp point seemingly capable of tearing through space, and a faint dragon's roar seemed to Entanglement it—this was the superior-grade weapon he had purchased from the System Shop for ten thousand Heavenly Mandate Points, the Dragon-Patterned Ancient Spear.
"Roar--" The Sky Azure Bull Python sensed the threat, opened its huge mouth, and dark green energy gathered in its mouth.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng slung his spear over his shoulder, a cold smile curving his lips, and continued walking forward, as if the beast ahead was not a ferocious Ferocious Beast that even Titled Douluo would fear, but prey waiting for him to reap.
Yu Tianheng's figure suddenly transformed into a blur in the forest, his Dragon-Patterned Ancient Spear trailing a golden tail over ten feet long. The dragon patterns engraved on the spear were fully awakened under the infusion of Soul Power, and every scale rippled with flowing lightning.
A flash of purple-gold dragon patterns appeared beneath his feet, and the explosive power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon was pushed to its limit. He charged straight at the Titan Giant Ape with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air—the mountain-like body that cast a huge shadow on the ground was now nothing more than a barrier to be breached in his eyes.
"Break!"
Amidst the roar, the tip of the Dragon-Patterned Ancient Spear condensed into a dazzling point of light, too bright to look at directly—the ultimate resonance between a superior-grade weapon and the Soul Power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.
Just as the Titan Giant Ape raised its colossal paw that blotted out the sky, the spear tip struck its fur, which was harder than steel, like a meteorite falling to earth.
There was no resistance as expected, only a tearing sound that made your teeth ache. The ancient spear pierced through like a hot knife through butter, instantly turning the dark gold spear shaft crimson. The spearhead, more than ten feet long, protruded from the giant ape's broad back. Hot blood flowed down the shaft, creating a series of smoking craters on the ground.
The Titan Giant Ape let out a deafening howl, its massive body shaking violently, its eyes filled with horror and rage.
The Sky Azure Bull Python, which was not far away, witnessed this scene, and its dark green vertical pupils suddenly contracted.
Instead of looking at its dying companion, it suddenly arched its mountain-like body, and its scales instantly glowed with an eerie blood-red light.
With a sharp hiss, the scales that had been injured by the Yu Yuanzhen Soul Skill healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even tougher new scales grew from the damaged areas. The price was that its aura instantly weakened by 30%, which was obviously due to burning its life force to forcibly recover.
"You're courting death!" The Sky Azure Bull Python's voice was filled with a metallic, grinding rage. Its massive body swept across the sky like a green lightning bolt, its giant tail whipping towards Yu Tianheng with a force that shattered the air, turning trees into dust in its wake.
" Tian Heng, step back!"
A hoarse yet domineering roar exploded, Yu Yuanzhen's figure pierced between the two like a cannonball.
His body was crackling with blue-purple lightning, and his bones popped and popped. In a short moment, a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon nearly a hundred meters long appeared behind Yu Yuanzhen.
Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul Avatar!
The ferocious dragon head was raised high, its golden vertical pupils locking onto the Sky Azure Bull Python. The dragon's might and the beast's might collided in mid-air, stirring up visible energy ripples.
"Bang--"
The giant tail and the dragon claws collided violently, and a terrifying shockwave swept outwards, cracking the earth with spiderweb-like patterns, and instantly turning the vegetation within a kilometer radius into charcoal.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon summoned by Yu Yuanzhen was blasted back more than ten meters, its claws carving five deep furrows in the ground. The Sky Azure Bull Python was also thrown over, its massive body crashing into and breaking dozens of ancient trees.
The Dragon-Patterned Ancient Spear slowly rotated in Yu Tianheng's hand, the blood dripping from its tip still steaming.
He gazed at the two colossal beasts locked in combat once more, his eyes sharp as an eagle's. He gripped his top-grade weapon tightly, ready to rejoin this battle that could shake the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
"Grandpa! Hold it back! Give me a quarter of an hour!" Yu Tianheng's roar pierced through the roar of the battlefield. He twirled the Dragon-Patterned Ancient Spear in his hand, pointing the tip at the still struggling Titan Giant Ape, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul Avatar behind Yu Yuanzhen let out a deafening dragon roar, which can be considered as an affirmation.
The next moment, Yu Yuanzhen controlled the massive body of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul Avatar and charged forward. His peak level 98 Soul Power poured out without reservation, and the blue-purple lightning surrounding his body suddenly increased by three feet, with each dragon scale shimmering with a destructive luster.
Facing the Sky Azure Bull Python's furious charge, it neither dodged nor evaded, but met the attack head-on with its dragon claws, which whistled through the air. With a loud "bang," it actually sent the Sky Azure Bull Python flying, crashing through hundreds of giant trees before finally coming to a stop.
Taking advantage of its unsteady state, Yu Yuanzhen had already pounced on it, his dragon tail sweeping across like a steel whip, precisely striking the Sky Azure Bull Python at its vital spot, pinning it firmly to the mountain wall.
Despite the Sky Azure Bull Python's frantic struggles and the continuous spraying of dark green venom and energy bolts, each counterattack was easily neutralized by Yu Yuanzhen under the absolute suppression of its Soul Power. The charred wounds on its body increased, and it could barely hold on, eventually losing all power to resist.
Just then, two figures shot over, riding on ripples of Soul Power. They were Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
" Yu Yuanzhen, this Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast is reserved by His Holiness the Pope. How dare you lay a finger on it!?"
The golden chrysanthemum in Yue Guan's hand bloomed, and dozens of petal-shaped sharp golden energies shot towards Yu Yuanzhen. The Gui Mei merged into the shadows and silently circled around to the side of the Sky Azure Bull Python, clearly intending to use the power of the Soul Beast to restrain it.
Who would have thought that the forces that were just hostile would now join forces to fight against Yu Yuanzhen?
