The words had barely faded when, under Dai Weisi's control, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger violently charged toward the Titan Giant Ape. It moved as fast as lightning, its momentum like rolling thunder. A fierce gale howled past, and in that instant, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger had already closed the distance, arriving right before the Titan Giant Ape. It thrust a single claw directly at its chest.
"Soul Bone Skill: Darkgold Terror Claw!"
Accompanied by a dazzling golden light, the Darkgold Terror Claw external soul bone instantly burst forth from its body. It armed the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's talons, making them resemble sharp spears as they swiped viciously toward the Titan Giant Ape.
This strike was as swift as a fierce wind, immensely powerful and heavy! However, the Titan Giant Ape's speed was not the slightest bit inferior. Seeing the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's ferocious approach, it also instantly condensed its soul power. A hardened iron fist gathered its strength and blasted forward!
Boom!
In that instant, the iron fist and the sharp claw collided violently in mid-air, erupting with a deafening, ear-piercing roar.
The impact and agitation of the soul power caused the originally tranquil Lake of Life to suddenly surge with violent waves. A monstrous tsunami was kicked up, sending tens of thousands of pounds of lake water surging backward, crashing onto the shore like a tidal wave.
"Koff! This fellow... his strength is incredible!" Feeling the terrifying force transmitted from that Darkgold Terror Claw, the Titan Giant Ape couldn't help but exclaim with shock.
"Heh heh, you're not bad yourself. Truly worthy of being the Star Dou Great Forest's strongest earth-element Spirit Beast. Since earth engenders metal, absorbing your soul ring will absolutely allow me to become even stronger!"
As he spoke, Dai Weisi was already condensing his soul power. Two of his yellow soul rings flashed violently.
"Dual Nether Thrust!"
Purple soul power erupted from its body. The Star Luo Sacred Tiger abruptly retracted its claws and then shot forward like a phantom, a ghostly apparition. Its speed was so extreme that it left no afterimage behind.
In the blink of an eye, it had circled behind the Titan Giant Ape. Both Darkgold Terror Claws swiped viciously toward the vital spot on its opponent's back, carried by a furious, high-speed gale!
"Dual Nether Hundred Claws!"
The two soul rings erupted with light as the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's claws danced in a wild frenzy, relentlessly bombarding the Titan Giant Ape's back.
Xiao Wu, who was watching from the side, saw the situation and hurriedly cried out, "Er Ming, be careful! It's behind you!"
"What?" The Titan Giant Ape was greatly alarmed. Its two massive hands pounded heavily on the ground as it bellowed, "Power of the Earth!"
Boom—
Just as the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's claws were about to sink into the Titan Giant Ape's back, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently. Simultaneously, a thick, heavy wall erupted from the earth, rising up to block the Star Luo Sacred Tiger, intercepting the attack on the Titan Giant Ape's behalf.
This was precisely one of the Titan Giant Ape's skills: Power of the Earth. It allowed the ape to control the surrounding ground for its own purposes. It could condense earthen spikes for an attack, form earthen walls for defense, or even create deep pitfalls to restrict its enemies. It was an exceptionally practical and versatile ability.
In this instance, the Titan Giant Ape had condensed an earthen wall, successfully blocking the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's Dual Nether Hundred Claws.
However, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger was no pushover. Dai Weisi sneered disdainfully, "A mere earthen wall, you think that can stop me?"
As he spoke, the Star Luo Sacred Tiger suddenly exerted its full power. A heaven-shaking claw struck out with the force of splitting bamboo. With a loud boom, it completely shattered the defensive wall.
But the Titan Giant Ape's reactions were equally sharp. In the exact instant the Star Luo Sacred Tiger broke through the earthen wall, a heavy iron fist blasted forward like a cannonball, smashing viciously into the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's face. The tremendous force of the blow sent the Star Luo Sacred Tiger flying backward.
Its entire body flew backward for over a hundred meters, just like a kite with a severed string. But this was not the end. The Titan Giant Ape immediately began to gather power again. The air from all around rapidly converged on its mouth, a massive amount of gas condensing within its maw before finally being unleashed.
"Titan's Firmament Cannon!"
Finally, the energy compressed within the Titan Giant Ape's mouth formed a massive air cannonball. With the overwhelming force of smashing rotten wood, it blasted violently toward the Star Luo Sacred Tiger. This cannon shot was utterly unstoppable.
Seeing this, Dai Weisi's fourth soul ring abruptly burst into light. Simultaneously, an invisible ripple spread out, instantly enveloping an area several hundred meters in radius.
White Tiger Domain, unfold!
Under the augmentation of the White Tiger Domain, the power of all the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's soul skills would be doubled.
"Fourth Soul Skill: White Tiger Sky-Shattering Roar!"
Roooar—
A tiger's roar echoed through the mountains and forests, its might shaking the world!
The Star Luo Sacred Tiger tilted its head back and let out a long, piercing howl. The terrifying sonic blast rolled forward like a series of giant waves, sweeping toward the Titan Giant Ape. It finally collided fiercely with the incoming air cannon, releasing a heaven-and-earth-shaking explosion.
As the Star Luo Sacred Tiger continued to condense its soul power and release the sonic blast, the White Tiger Sky-Shattering Roar finally and successfully overwhelmed the Titan Giant Ape's air cannon. Immediately after, the sound waves produced by the attack rushed forward like a hundred-meter-tall tsunami, crashing down on the Titan Giant Ape.
The Titan Giant Ape could only continuously condense earthen walls in a desperate defense. However, under the suppressive effect of the White Tiger Domain, all of its attributes had been reduced by half. It now had to expend a great deal of soul power just to condense a single earthen wall.
Yet, the earthen wall it had struggled to create was shattered by the powerful sonic blast in a mere instant, exploding into a rain of gravel. In the end, the successive waves of sound slammed into its body.
The sound waves seemed to penetrate the Titan Giant Ape's thick hide. The violent sonic impact vibrated through its internal organs, causing an agonizing pain, as if it were being sliced by a thousand cuts. It felt as if its entire body was about to be torn apart from the inside.
"Roooar!" The Titan Giant Ape roared in absolute fury. "Don't you underestimate me! Gravity Control Domain, open!"
Abruptly, the Titan Giant Ape unleashed its own domain. In an instant, the gravity within a radius of several hundred meters increased tenfold.
Under this tyrannical gravity, Dai Weisi and his two companions all felt their bodies become incredibly heavy, possessed by an uncontrollable urge to collapse to the ground. Even the sonic waves from the roar were forcibly dragged down and redirected by the immense gravity!
"Human, go die!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within its own Gravity Control Domain, the Titan Giant Ape's movements were completely unaffected. It charged forward like a frenzied lion, its fists condensing the Power of the Earth. It leaped high into the air, then brought both fists smashing down like falling meteorites!
Augmented by the tenfold gravity of its domain, the power contained within this two-fisted strike was unimaginable.
Seeing this, Dai Weisi's pupils contracted. He frantically poured his soul power into his left leg's soul bone. Following a brilliant flash of light, pitch-black armor instantly enveloped his entire body!
"Fist of the Earth!"
"Myriad Jun War Armor!"
BOOOOM—
A massive explosion echoed through the clouds. The Titan Giant Ape's fists smashed heavily onto the Myriad Jun War Armor. This blow landed with the crushing weight of Mount Tai. The ground beneath the Star Luo Sacred Tiger's feet fractured inch by inch, dense, spiderweb-like cracks spreading out in all directions.
The terrifying force of the impact left Dai Weisi and his companions reeling, their heads spinning. Their blood roiled within them, and their internal organs ached from the shock. Even the incomparably tough Myriad Jun War Armor had several small cracks appear on its surface.
The Titan Giant Ape didn't fare any better. The Myriad Jun War Armor was extraordinarily hard. A tremendous rebound force swept through its entire body, forcing a painful wail from its mouth. The bones in both its arms felt as if they were about to shatter. A sweet, metallic taste rose in its throat, and it spat out a mouthful of blood, spraying it all over the black armor.
Seeing this exchange, Dai Tianxing hurriedly shouted his orders: "Seventh Elder, Lie Tianhu, quickly go and support Dai Weisi! Leave this Sky Blue Bull Python to me. Dean Lin, your speed is the fastest. Go and capture that rabbit for me, and after you have it, go help Dai Weisi as well!"
Although the primary target of their expedition was indeed the Titan Giant Ape, who could possibly refuse a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast that had taken human form? Even if they accidentally killed Xiao Wu in the process and failed to obtain her soul ring, they would, at the very least, still be able to acquire a 100,000-year-old soul bone.
"As you command!"
As the orders were given, everyone immediately sprang into action.
"Third Soul Skill: Sword Soul Possession!"
The moment the words were spoken, Lin Qiuyang's speed exploded, and he shot off in pursuit of Xiao Wu. This Sword Soul Possession was a self-augmentation skill. It not only made his Profound Iron Sword even sharper, but it also increased Lin Qiuyang's personal speed by a full fifty percent.
