Chapter 89: The Titan Giant Ape

"This is exactly what I wanted to ask. Do you know the origin of that Soul Beast?" Sword Douluo was in a pleasant mood, and his tone softened a bit.

There were only a few 100,000 Year Soul Beasts, and the details of some of them were no longer secrets. As one of the top forces on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had records on this matter.

"Your Excellency, the one following us is the overlord of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Titan Giant Ape!" Dragon Duke's expression was grave, and he tightly gripped his dragon-headed staff.

The Titan Giant Ape was a dominant existence among Soul Beasts. It had almost no weaknesses, with strength, speed, and defense far surpassing other Soul Beasts. It even possessed human-like intelligence.

Although Sword Douluo was a Titled Douluo, it was uncertain how much chance he had of winning in a battle against it.

"The Titan Giant Ape..." Sword Douluo's previously pleasant mood shifted, and his expression turned serious as he looked at Dragon Duke. "What are you and your wife planning to do?"

At this critical moment for Li Xun, if the Titan Giant Ape didn't change its course, he might have to step in and delay it for a while.

Snake Granny was about to say something, but Dragon Duke stopped her with a gesture. "Your Excellency, the arrival of the Titan Giant Ape will surely cause unrest among the surrounding Soul Beasts. Right now, this child is absorbing a Spirit Ring and cannot move an inch. If you trust us, my wife and I are willing to stay here and keep watch."

Hearing her husband's words, Snake Granny glanced at Li Xun, who was absorbing the Spirit Ring, and quickly chimed in.

The child seemed to be nearing the end of absorbing the Spirit Ring. With Sword Douluo's strength, even if it was uncertain whether he could defeat the Titan Giant Ape, he could at least delay it until the absorption was complete.

There wasn't much risk in this, and it would be a good opportunity to earn some favor with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. It could also be seen as an investment in this exceptionally talented young man.

After all, with this child's talent, even Tang San, whom they had encountered a few days ago, paled in comparison.

Sword Douluo glanced at the three of them—grandfather, granddaughter, and grandson—and pondered for a moment. "Then I'll leave it to you two."

He could sense that the Titan Giant Ape was getting closer and closer.

With that, Sword Douluo controlled his Flying Sword and sped off in the direction of the Titan Giant Ape.

With the Dragon-Serpent Couple keeping watch here, he didn't need to worry too much. It was better to intercept the Titan Giant Ape from a distance to avoid the battle affecting everyone.

As for whether the Dragon-Serpent Couple might have any ill intentions, he wasn't concerned. There was no enmity between them, and the couple had a family and a reputation to uphold. As long as they were sensible, they wouldn't do anything foolish.

Meng Yiran watched as Sword Douluo sped away, her courage growing. Her gaze drifted past Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong, secretly landing on Li Xun.

Her grandfather had mentioned a few days ago that a young man named Tang San was exceptionally talented, saying that anyone who could cultivate Blue Silver Grass to the 30th level was no ordinary person.

But compared to the person before her, Tang San didn't seem all that impressive.

Looking at Li Xun's exposed, firm muscles, Meng Yiran's cheeks flushed slightly.

Her gaze quickly caught Ning Rongrong's attention.

Ning Rongrong glared at Meng Yiran and stepped forward, blocking Li Xun completely.

Meng Yiran pouted and turned her gaze toward the direction where Sword Douluo had gone.

Sword Douluo sped along and soon arrived in front of the Titan Giant Ape.

"Human, this is not a place you should be!" The Titan Giant Ape stopped in its tracks, its eyes cold as it stared at Sword Douluo.

If it weren't for the powerful aura he exuded, the Titan Giant Ape would have already thrown a punch.

Soul Beasts and humans are natural adversaries. Over countless years, numerous Soul Beasts have perished at the hands of humans. Even some of his close friends and relatives have not been spared.

Among them was Xiao Wu's mother.

"We are only at the outskirts of Star Dou Great Forest, not even entering the inner circle. How could we have triggered the rules of the core area?" Sword Douluo stood on his Seven Kill Sword, his hair fluttering in the breeze.

Leaving was not an option, especially since Li Xun and the others were right behind him.

"Human, I'll say it one more time. This is not a place you should be. If you don't leave, you'll stay here forever!" The Titan Giant Ape stood upright, molten lava flowing through the cracks in its rocky body.

It had been tracking the Thunder Hell Vine, only to be blocked by a human. It was furious now.

The Thunder Hell Vine was highly unstable, and a single misstep could bring unprecedented disaster to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, that creature had slipped away from its grasp several times. Now that it had finally detected its presence, it was determined to kill it today.

Thinking of this, the Titan Giant Ape grew increasingly anxious, a surge of rage welling up inside it. It pounded its chest and let out a deafening roar, then launched a massive fist toward Sword Douluo.

Watching the mountain-like fist coming at him, Sword Douluo felt a wave of helplessness.

Although some powerful Soul Beasts possessed intelligence comparable to humans, wisdom also varied with age. The Titan Giant Ape was clearly underdeveloped in intellect, making communication and understanding difficult.

"Sword Wings as Flight." Sword Douluo's third Spirit Ring lit up, and the Seven Kill Sword beneath his feet suddenly burst with incredible speed. It spiraled rapidly along the Titan Giant Ape's arm, instantly positioning itself behind the giant beast.

"Fifth Soul Skill, Might Over All Directions." Sword Douluo formed a sword seal with his hand and pointed at the back of the Titan Giant Ape's head. A massive Sword Qi appeared in front of him, descending with an unstoppable force.

"Gravity Domain." Feeling the bone-chilling cold emanating from behind, the Titan Giant Ape roared. A circle of dark yellow ripples suddenly erupted around its body.

Under the influence of the ripples, everything in the vicinity was pressed to the ground. The Sword Qi Sword Douluo had unleashed was forced off course before it could even reach the Titan Giant Ape's back.

"What a troublesome domain." Sword Douluo frowned, activating his Seven Kill Domain. Despite his 97th-level strength, he nearly fell from the sky under the influence of this Soul Beast's domain.

Sword Douluo quickly retreated from the gravity range: "It seems I can't get too close."

He soared into the sky, his hair wildly dancing as he formed a sword gesture and pressed it toward the Titan Giant Ape from a distance: "Sixth Soul Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin."

The sky around Sword Douluo suddenly filled with countless sword shadows. As the shadows solidified, they rained down like a meteor shower, shooting toward the Titan Giant Ape below.

"Titan Star!" The Titan Giant Ape pounded the ground in fury.

Chunks of rock rose from the ground, instantly forming a massive meteorite that enveloped its body, shielding it from the barrage of swords.

If Li Xun were conscious and saw this scene, he would surely exclaim, "Planetary Devastation!"

Sword Douluo watched as his Fifth Soul Skill was blocked by the meteorite, but he showed no emotional reaction.

If a 100,000 Year Soul Beast were so easy to kill, the coveted red Spirit Rings that countless Soul Masters sought would already be in everyone's possession.

"Although this Soul Beast's domain is formidable, it has a range weakness and poses no threat to me," Sword Douluo said with one hand behind his back.

Through their brief exchange, he had already discerned the Titan Giant Ape's capabilities.

The strength of this Soul Beast was undeniable. If his cultivation level had still been at the 96th rank, he might have only been able to fight to a draw.

But now…

He was absolutely confident in defeating his opponent.

With a faint smile on his lips, Sword Douluo controlled his Flying Sword, constantly shifting its position in the air, unleashing streams of Sword Qi towards the Titan Giant Ape.

The Titan Giant Ape roared continuously, repeatedly using its Gravity Domain and Attraction Domain, yet it couldn't catch Sword Douluo's figure.

By now, several wounds had appeared on its body.

Realizing that continuing like this would inevitably lead to defeat, the Titan Giant Ape let out a furious roar towards the sky: "Roar… Big Brother!"
