"My Lord."
The tall figure at the head bowed slightly, respectfully addressing the young woman.
The woman was slender and graceful, her black eyes gleaming slightly.
Her black hair cascaded over her shoulders, her skin was fair and soft, radiating a soft glow.
A hint of coldness and noble authority emanated from her.
Strangely, this young woman bore a striking resemblance to Na'er, seven or eight parts similar, though the young woman possessed a greater maturity in her eyes.
"My Lord, your other half was swept into the human world by a spatial rift and entered the Spirit Pagoda, one of the strongest forces in the world. We have been unable to retrieve her,"
the black-haired man reported in a deep voice, lowering his head further, a bitter smile playing on his lips.
How long ago was it that their soul beast race had to act so cautiously, and he, once the strongest on the continent, had gradually been surpassed by humans.
This person was none other than Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, ranked first among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.
Behind him were the remaining members of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.
"No problem. In three years, I will personally go to the human world.
At that time, I will find her and personally reclaim everything that belongs to our Soul Beast race."
The girl's black eyes gleamed with a faint light as she swept her gaze over the ferocious beasts before her, speaking calmly with an unquestionable tone.
"Yes, sir!"
Looking at the girl before them, the Soul Beasts all knelt down, their expressions filled with excitement, for this woman was their long-dormant master.
"Alright, I need to rest a bit more. You all guard this core area well. In three years, we will officially set off."
Gu Yue instructed softly, then a silver light shone from her body as she slowly sank into the Lake of Life, which was filled with life force.
After Gu Yue went into seclusion, the ferocious beasts all rose, while Di Tian felt that the future of the Soul Beast race was secured.
"Humans, the Spirit Pagoda, and the Federation, prepare to face the revenge of us soul beasts!"
Di Tian's golden dragon eyes swept around, looking at the once vast Star Dou Great Forest, now reduced to this last core area, a surge of anger rising within him.
Even this remaining core area was surrounded by layers of impenetrable walls by humans, like livestock, kept confined here.
"Di Tian, why doesn't our master just lead us back to fight?
Why choose to transform into human form instead?
With our master's strength, now that the God Realm has disappeared, humans shouldn't be able to contend with us, right?"
Hearing Di Tian's low shout, a bald, burly man scratched his head, asking in confusion, a dense dark golden aura emanating from him.
"Bear Lord, how could you possibly guess our master's thoughts?
Obeying orders is what you should do,"
Di Tian said sternly, giving Bear Lord a sidelong glance.
"Alright, I, Old Bear, will listen to you.
But if I ever see Huo Yuhao again, I'll make him look me in the eye and answer me properly.
Is this what he meant by the peaceful coexistence of soul beasts and humans?"
"Now even the Crimson King has been captured by them..."
Hearing Xiong Jun's whisper, a rare trace of melancholy flashed in Di Tian's eyes, before he said firmly,
"Now that our Lord is here, we soul beasts have a clear sky."
"And it's time for the roles of offense and defense to change between us soul beasts and humans!"
With a low roar accompanied by a dragon's cry, it was unclear whether Di Tian was speaking to himself, to the ferocious beasts behind him, or to the many extinct soul beast races...
Since this era lacked ships to carry them, the remnants of the old era, then let them create an ocean unique to the soul beast era!
...
Inside the Primary Spirit Ascension Platform.
"Dragons Fight in the Wilds!"
A flash of silver light appeared, and a phantom silver dragon swayed its body as it flew out from the Silver Dragon Spear, fiercely biting at a giant soul beast before it.
This soul beast was covered in an earthy yellow light, its thick legs supporting it on the ground.
Its massive body was nearly ten meters tall, its muscles bulging, and its giant fists continuously pounded out, creating sonic booms.
It seemed to be constantly absorbing energy from the ground.
It was a Titan Giant Ape that had just broken through to the thousand-year mark, ranking among the top soul beasts in both attack and defense, possessing both strength and earth attributes.
However, this Titan Giant Ape was now riddled with wounds, its body covered in hideous cuts, wreathed in cold, dark power that relentlessly eroded it.
"Na'er, attack its bottom lane!"
Seeing the Titan Giant Ape already in a berserk state, Jiang Xiu's bloodshot eyes flickered slightly.
Dark soul power gathered in his hand, transforming into a dark straight blade, gleaming with a sharp, eerie light.
Meanwhile, Jiang Xiu's first soul ring emitted a dazzling purple glow, having transformed from a hundred-year soul ring into a thousand-year soul ring.
This Titan Giant Ape was the last Soul Beast Jiang Xiu and Na'er had chosen on this Elementary Spirit Ascension Platform.
After slaying and absorbing it, their first Soul Rings would both reach their current maximum age.
"Roger, Boss!"
Na'er's purple eyes narrowed upon hearing this, and she swung her Silver Dragon Spear again, her petite figure swiftly leaping forward from the ground, directly attacking the Titan Giant Ape's legs.
Seeing the constantly glowing silver light beneath its feet and feeling the waves of excruciating pain emanating from its body, the Titan Giant Ape seemed to have gone mad, its giant fists pounding down relentlessly.
"Raven!"
Jiang Xiu, seeing the Titan Giant Ape being restrained, gave a soft shout.
The Dark Night Raven circling above instantly understood, its figure suddenly descending, but its speed slowed as it flew towards the Titan Giant Ape.
The concealment effect of the King's Domain activated on both of them.
"Whoosh!"
Jiang Xiu took a step forward, instantly leaping forward.
When he was still ten meters away from the Titan Ape, his agile figure suddenly leaped upward, landing on the Dark Night Raven, using the momentum to rise again.
Jiang Xiu gripped the dark straight sword tightly in both hands, his body stretching out like a crescent moon, the straight sword thrusting straight towards the Titan Ape's pointed head.
"Roar!"
As if sensing a fatal crisis, the Titan Ape looked at Jiang Xiu, who was like a king descending from the heavens in ferocious rage, its huge palm suddenly flashing with earthy light, transforming into a shield in front of it.
"Titan Ape, don't underestimate the bond between the two of us! You bastard!"
Seeing this, Na'er shouted, her purple thousand-year soul ring lighting up again.
A cold glint appeared first, Na'er holding a spear, a dragon's roar exploding as she leaped up and struck the Titan Ape's knee.
"Pfft!"
The spear tip pierced through, blood spurting out.
The Titan Ape's knees buckled, its massive body swaying and tilting downwards.
The shield it was waving fell, creating a gap.
"Second-class brother Na'er, you're truly a genius!"
Jiang Xiu praised, his soul power surging and converging on his straight blade, flashing past the shield and pointing directly at the Titan Ape's head.
