The Emerald Dragon Snake left joyfully, leaving Dugu Feng alone walking through the Star Dou Great Forest.
He didn't fly but advanced on foot.
As he walked, the Asura Domain naturally activated, radiating from Dugu Feng's body in a fifty-meter radius.
This allowed him to sense the movements around him.
Now possessing Soul Emperor-level strength, he was gradually stepping into the ranks of high-level Soul Masters and was also a master of poison.
Very few Spirit Beasts could threaten him.
With the Asura Power spreading, the surrounding Spirit Beasts were too frightened to move.
In their minds, it was as if the Slaughtering Lightning that judged their fate had appeared; these Spirit Beasts didn't even have the courage to flee.
This was the power of Dugu Feng's Asura Domain.
Combined with the qualitative transformation of his body and that faint divine aura, Dugu Feng walking through the Star Dou Great Forest was like a Deity descending to inspect his own territory.
He continuously headed deeper into the forest.
As he walked, Dugu Feng restrained some of his aura, becoming an observer in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The battles between Spirit Beasts, the predation in the food chain, Soul Masters hunting for Spirit Rings.
Scene after scene unfolded.
Dugu Feng deliberately concealed himself; no Spirit Beast or Soul Master could detect him. Watching these brutal killings, his mind grew much calmer.
The schemes, cruelty, and bloodshed of the Spirit Beast world were no less than those of humans; some Spirit Beasts were even more treacherous than human Soul Masters.
Not long after, Dugu Feng encountered another three-thousand-year Man-faced Demon Spider.
Though it was just a small mosquito leg, Dugu Feng still directly devoured this Man-faced Demon Spider with his Eighty-Eight Spider Lances.
Just like that, Dugu Feng traveled through the Star Dou Great Forest for half a month.
He made three moves, devouring one Man-faced Demon Spider, one Nine Heavens Centipede, and one Jade Phosphorous Serpent.
He didn't actively search for them; when he encountered them, he naturally took them down.
On this day, Dugu Feng suddenly sensed that a Core Pearl was moving deep into the Star Dou Great Forest.
Upon careful sensing, he realized it was Zhu Zhuqing.
Zhu Zhuqing was moving very fast, not at a normal walking speed at all, as if she was escaping from something.
Dugu Feng focused his senses.
He quickly discovered the reason.
Indeed, someone was chasing her.
No, it wasn't exactly chasing, but more like a cat playing with a mouse.
They were probably trying to capture Zhu Zhuqing.
Dugu Feng spotted an acquaintance dozens of miles behind Zhu Zhuqing—Dai Tianqing.
He was the team leader of the Star Luo Empire during the last Soul Master Competition.
It seemed the Star Luo royal family had made their move.
They wanted to capture Zhu Zhuqing and bring her back.
Indeed, if the Crown Princess was lost and not retrieved, where would the Star Luo Empire's face be?
Dugu Feng's heart stirred, and he revealed a smile.
In the center of the Star Dou Great Forest.
There was a clear lake, surrounded by a circle of towering trees, with only a skylight-like opening in the sky above the lake.
Soft sunlight shone through this gap onto the lake surface, reflecting a faint glow.
In this quiet and gentle atmosphere, a buzzing sound was echoing.
By the lakeside, an extremely tall figure stood imposingly. This figure was over fifteen meters tall, its entire body covered in sleek, shiny black fur.
This was none other than the Titan Giant Ape. Its body was covered in granite-like, robust muscles, with red tendons taut and bulging. Its two lantern-sized eyes swept back and forth like searchlights.
"Er Ming, can you find it?" Xiao Wu, dressed in a white dress, asked nervously from the Titan Giant Ape's shoulder.
The Titan Giant Ape roared furiously, "Come out! Show yourself if you dare!"
"Pfft!" Xiao Wu couldn't help but laugh. It seemed Er Ming was truly provoked, otherwise he wouldn't be this enraged.
With a splash, the nearby lake surface stirred. Countless water droplets suddenly erupted as a massive bovine head, over four meters in diameter, emerged from the water. The head was entirely covered in bluish scales—this was naturally the Sky Blue Bull Python.
"Second Brother, pay it no mind. I believe it only seeks to anger us without any malicious intent to harm. Let it be," the Sky Blue Bull Python spoke in human language, its tone calm.
"Exactly, Er Ming. Look how composed Da Ming is. Don't get worked up. This bold Spirit Beast might just want to play with us!" Xiao Wu said with a chuckle.
The Titan Giant Ape's gaze turned icy as it grumbled indignantly, "It dared to land on my head, sleep on it, and even defecate—more than once! To this day, I still don't know what it looks like. You two are speaking without feeling the pain!"
Xiao Wu suppressed her laughter, deciding not to provoke the Titan Giant Ape further.
The Sky Blue Bull Python, however, spoke earnestly, "With your massive size, it's possible a flying bird Spirit Beast mistook your head for a small hill and decided to rest there. Isn't that perfectly normal?"
But the Titan Giant Ape remained unwilling to let it go. As the king of the forest, who dared to defecate on its head?
"Roar!" The Sky Blue Bull Python let out a sharp cry, soaring out of the water. "Who dares to coil around my body?"
With its roar, the surroundings transformed into a bluish world, and the very air seemed to solidify. The Sky Blue Bull Python had directly activated its Domain—the Slow Domain—slowing all enemy movements by over thirty percent.
Yet, despite its swift reaction, it found no trace of any enemy underwater.
"Big Brother, don't get agitated. Perhaps it's just a small fish or shrimp playing with you!" This time, it was the Titan Giant Ape's turn to speak without feeling the pain.
The Sky Blue Bull Python ignored him entirely. Instead, its massive bovine head and serpentine body circled the lake shore repeatedly, searching relentlessly. It was enraged. Provoking the Titan Giant Ape was one thing, but daring to provoke it as well?
Xiao Wu was stunned. Da Ming, who had just been calmly advising Er Ming, had now exploded in fury.
"What king of the forest? Even we brothers can't detect it!"
"Come on! Come on! Come and chase us!"
Two spiritual fluctuations left the three 100,000-Year Soul Beasts present utterly dumbfounded. Such blatant provocation was something they hadn't experienced in years. The last time had been a challenge from three insignificant ants, which they had driven out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Roar! Unbearable! Absolutely unbearable!" The Titan Giant Ape let out a heaven-shaking roar, its legs instantly propelling it into the air as it flew toward the source of the spiritual fluctuations.
Without hesitation, the Sky Blue Bull Python followed. Initially, they had assumed it was merely a Spirit Beast with some special ability, but now it appeared the opponent's strength far exceeded their expectations. To evade both their detection so effortlessly, even approaching their bodies undetected—if it intended to attack them, they would be completely unaware.
The Sky Blue Bull Python sensed danger.
He decided to teach the other party a lesson.
For the Spirit Beasts of Star Dou Great Forest, they were unwilling to hunt the weak.
But it could not tolerate such blatant provocation.
Within the forest, two massive figures moved with remarkable swiftness.
Their movements remained completely unaffected by the dense woodland.
As they set out, the core area of Star Dou Great Forest descended into utter chaos.
