As the Titan Giant Ape (Tai Tan) moved, every obstacle in its path was ruthlessly crushed.
The remaining ruins were pulverized like building blocks, the tough foundation cracked inch by inch under the stomp of its giant palms, and the violent air currents lifted debris hundreds of meters into the sky, creating a terrifying momentum.
Facing the monstrous beast charging like a natural disaster, Lu Jingming simply and unhurriedly raised his hand. An elegantly shaped knight's lance, emanating a soft, pure white light, materialized in his grasp.
With a gentle flick of his wrist, the lance, named "White Flower", was steadily plunged into the ground before him.
Weng—!
An invisible yet immense life energy spread out from the lance like gentle yet rapid ripples.
Just as the Titan Giant Ape's colossal body, like a colliding meteor, was about to impact him—
A sudden change occurred!
Countless lush, vibrant green sprouts and vines, containing astonishing life energy, erupted wildly from deep within the shattered earth without warning.
They grew and thickened at an almost frantic pace, becoming incredibly tough.
These instantaneously generated tree trunks and branches seemed to possess their own life and will. Like giant pythons awakened from slumber, carrying the damp, fresh scent of soil, they flexibly coiled and bound the Titan Giant Ape's pillar-like limbs and mountain-wall-like body.
In just a moment, a primordial, dense forest had sprung up from nothing within a radius of several thousand meters centered on Lu Jingming.
Innumerable ancient, towering trees shot up from the ground. Their dense branches rapidly intertwined in the air, weaving a gigantic, airtight green net that completely enveloped and swallowed the raging Titan Giant Ape.
"Roar—!!!"
An angry, unwilling roar burst from the depths of the forest.
It frantically swung its arms, capable of tearing steel, its bulging muscles unleashing world-destroying strength, tearing and crushing the thick tree trunks that were wrapped around its body one by one.
However, these trees, nurtured by the Authority of Grass and White Flowers vitality, were extraordinarily resilient and possessed a terrifying, almost bug-like, regenerative power—branches that were just torn and pulverized one second would immediately sprout even greener, thicker buds and vines from the break point the next, and re-coil with desperate speed.
They were continuous, endless, and seemingly inexhaustible, completely dragging the brute-force Titan Giant Ape into a quagmire of attrition.
Soon, the frantically growing, dense forest completely obscured and swallowed the giant ape's massive form. From the outside, one could only hear the increasingly anxious roars and the crisp snap of branches being constantly ripped apart, indicating that it was temporarily trapped and unable to escape.
Lu Jingming calmly surveyed the anti-logical forest domain he had personally created, a satisfied expression on his face.
The combination of the Greater Lord Rukkhadevata's Authority of Grass and the White Flowers seemingly god-defying repair and regeneration ability yielded an effect far beyond a simple one-plus-one—who says healing and life-based powers must only be used for saving lives?
This modified version of "Deep Forest Emergence", in terms of crowd control, deterrence, and utility, surpassed someone else's "Blue Silver Grass Restraint" by countless dimensions.
The Authority of Grass frantically catalyzes tree growth, and the White Flowers restorative power, which touches the cellular origin, grants them a terrifying, near-immortal regenerative ability. This not only makes these trees far tougher than any known plant but also enables them to complete ultra-speed self-repair the instant they suffer damage.
Even more ingenious, the reverse application of the Authority of Grass can silently and continuously absorb the life force and Soul Power of the trapped entity.
It could be said that once trapped in this forest infused with the laws of life, one has fallen into a nightmare from which they cannot awaken.
The more one struggles frantically, the greater the consumption, the faster the life force drains, ultimately leading to increasing weakness through endless life siphon and restraint, until all resistance is lost, and they become a lamb to the slaughter.
Unless... the trapped entity possesses an absolute destructive power that far exceeds the forest's regenerative limit, enough to destroy all methods with a single blow.
As if to confirm his thought—
"Rooaaaar!!!!!"
A roar, angrier and more violent than any before, suddenly exploded from the deepest part of the forest.
Immediately after, an invisible and massless, yet profoundly heavy, terrifying gravity wave surged out centered on the Titan Giant Ape like a destructive tsunami.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
The entire forest violently twisted and shook under this savage, overbearing force.
Innumerable branches and leaves rustled and fell. The incredibly thick tree trunks were bent, snapped, or even completely crushed by the terrifying gravity that suddenly increased dozens of times.
In an instant, the once lush, sky-obscuring forest saw more than half its area collapse, turning into a pile of broken wood on the ground.
The Titan Giant Ape's muscles were fiercely bulging like granite, its brown-black fur standing on end like steel needles.
It seized the brief moment when the trees collapsed on a large scale and regeneration temporarily couldn't keep up with the destruction. Unleashing the full extent of its power, it violently tore apart all the remaining restraints on its body.
The next second, its massive body transformed into a black cannonball tearing through the sky, abruptly shooting upward and forcefully breaking free from the forest's confinement.
"As expected, getting away easily is still a bit too difficult."
Lu Jingming looked up at the massive figure that had violently broken through the forest's confinement and ascended thousands of meters into the sky, carrying monstrous rage. There was no surprise on his face, only a calmness suggesting he had anticipated this.
Although the Titan hadn't truly stepped into the Limit Douluo realm, it was a genuine Rank 98 Super Douluo. Coupled with its top-tier Soul Beast bloodline and talent as the Titan Giant Ape, its true combat power was terrifying.
Lu Jingming had no doubt that if Xuan Zi were here, facing the full-power Titan, he would likely be pinned down and pulverized.
Its actual strength was already very close to the limit of human Soul Masters.
He hadn't expected to simply bury such a peak powerhouse, whose strength and defense were maxed out, using this newly developed, still-experimental Soul Skill.
High in the sky, the Titan Giant Ape's massive body paused briefly, like a spring compressed to the extreme.
The next moment, under the combined force of its terrifying natural weight and the incomparably overbearing Gravity Domain, it tore through the atmosphere like an ignited meteor, plummeting fiercely toward Lu Jingming on the ground.
Boom-rumble—!
The air violently frictioned and compressed against the giant ape's body, instantly bursting into raging flames. It trailed a dazzling, scarlet trajectory across the sky, and where it passed, even the high-altitude clouds were scorched, twisted, evaporated, and dispersed by the extreme heat.
Facing this falling strike, which was like a divine punishment, Lu Jingming could have used the Authority of Abyss to instantly teleport and dodge. But a strong urge rose within him—he wanted to personally test just how far his current strength reached.
He chose the most direct, brutal, and strength-showcasing method—a head-on collision.
"Zzzzzrrraaa—!!!"
Furious blue-white lightning, like beasts escaping their cage, suddenly burst out and surged around him.
Countless electric snakes frantically gathered and compressed onto the Abyss Lance in his hand.
The destructive current was forcibly restrained and condensed by a powerful will, finally transforming into strands of deep, viscous black-red lightning, radiating an aura of termination and death, tightly coiling around the cold spear tip like living things.
The spear intent of termination, death, and destruction perfectly merged into this highly compressed lightning.
Lu Jingming's figure instantly blurred, transforming into a streak of black-red electric light that tore through the sky. He defied the monstrous gravity field and fiercely shot upward, directly meeting the world-destroying "flesh meteor."
His entire being seemed to merge with the lightning spear, leaving a fatal, straight line in the air, filled with countless fine, splashing black-red light particles. It was like a blade of judgment aiming to cleave the heavens.
"Boom—!!!!!!!!!!!"
The extremely condensed black-red lightning violently collided with the burning "meteor."
Time seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then, a visible, annular airwave, a mixture of lightning and flame, violently exploded and spread out from the point of collision.
The terrifying shockwave, like the whip of God, fiercely lashed the sky, completely tearing and clearing away the clouds, literally "splitting" the azure sky into two distinct halves.
"Aow Roar—!!!"
The Titan Giant Ape let out an agonizing, furious roar.
That streak of black-red electric light had instantaneously and unstoppably penetrated its terrifying, adamantium-hard body, and continued to rush hundreds of meters further before slowly dissipating in the sky.
Lu Jingming's figure solidified in the higher air, standing steady, the heart-stopping black-red lightning at his spear tip gradually receding.
The terrifying kinetic energy shock from the electromagnetic acceleration, combined with the overbearing property of the Abyss to decompose all things and annihilate vitality, left a shocking, several-meter-diameter hole in the Titan Giant Ape's massive, hundred-meter-tall body.
The flesh and fur at the wound's edges had been carbonized by the extreme-temperature lightning and annihilated into nothingness by the force of decomposition the instant of contact, so no blood was gushing out. However, the terrifying, soul-deep, marrow-invading agony still made the Titan Giant Ape let out a heart-wrenching wail. Its massive body, as if deprived of all strength, plunged from the high sky like a kite with a severed string.
"Boom—!!!"
The earth violently shook, leaving a gigantic crater several dozen meters in diameter, and dust billowed upward like a mushroom cloud.
In the swirling dust, the Titan Giant Ape's figure was curled up and battered at the bottom of the pit, its aura rapidly waning.
