Chapter 416 Undead vs. Ferocious Beasts
boom--!
As the roar subsided, the entire dense forest trembled violently.
Towering ancient trees snapped with a crash, their thick trunks seemingly smashed open by some terrifying force, splinters flying everywhere and jagged ravines cracking the ground.
The next moment, a massive, mountain-like, dark golden figure emerged from the depths of the forest.
It was a giant bear, several meters tall, its entire body covered in dark golden fur, each hair as hard as a steel needle, gleaming with a cold metallic luster. Its arms were extremely thick, muscles bulging, as if containing the power to tear mountains apart.
What's most terrifying are its enormous claws. Each claw is as long as a scimitar, extremely sharp, and when the tips of the claws lightly slice through the air, they produce a piercing tearing sound.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Mr. Xiong.
One of the true top-tier ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
As soon as it appeared, a terrifying aura of malevolence swept across the area like a tsunami. Hearing its roar, the fleeing soul beasts seemed to find their anchor again and fled towards it.
Xiong Jun stared intently at Tang San.
In its eyes, anger almost materialized.
It saw too many corpses along the way.
The corpse of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast lay in the forest, its soul extracted and its life essence stolen. Countless ancient trees withered, the earth turned black, and the air was filled with the putrid death aura left by the Rakshasa's divine power.
This is not only a trampling of the Star Dou Great Forest, but also a massacre of the Soul Beast race.
"Humans".
Xiong Jun's voice was deep and thunderous.
"How dare you act so recklessly in the Star Dou Great Forest! Today, I will tear you to pieces!"
Tang San stood on the withered giant tree, looking down at Xiong Jun, but there was no fear on his face.
Instead, he laughed.
"Mr. Bear."
"One of the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the king of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan."
"You've finally come to terms with it."
Xiong Jun's pupils contracted.
"Do you know me?"
Tang San slowly raised the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
"Of course I know him."
"I've been waiting for you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the anger in Xiong Jun's eyes intensified.
It understood perfectly well that Tang San's slaughter of the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts was not only to devour their origins, but also to force these ferocious beasts from the core area to reveal themselves.
"Great, excellent!"
Xiong Jun was so angry that he laughed instead.
"Since you've come for me, let's see if you're lucky enough to take it!"
boom!
As Xiong Jun took a step forward, the ground instantly collapsed. Its massive body unleashed a terrifying speed completely disproportionate to its size, arriving in front of Tang San in the blink of an eye.
The dark gold claws rose high, and five dark gold claw beams tore through the sky, carrying a terrifying sharpness capable of cleaving mountains, and slashed down at Tang San's head.
If this attack had landed on an ordinary Title Douluo, it would have torn him and his spirit to shreds. But Tang San just smiled coldly and didn't even retreat.
From within the black mist, a burly figure suddenly burst forth.
Dai Mubai's spirit, a gray-white phantom of a white tiger, coalesced behind him, its claws also bursting with death soul power, meeting Xiong Jun's dark gold terror claws.
boom--!
The entire valley trembled the moment the two forces collided.
Dai Mubai's undead arms twisted almost instantly, his chest was torn open with several deep gashes by the claws, and he was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the forest.
However, he did not scream.
Without pain, without even a pause, amidst the surging gray-white death energy, he actually stood up again, his shattered body forcibly stitched back together by the power of the Rakshasa God.
A hint of surprise flashed in Xiong Jun's eyes.
"Undead puppet?"
Tang San said calmly:
"The dead are more useful than the living."
"I will not be afraid, I will not betray, and I will not cry out in pain."
Xiong Jun roared angrily.
"despicable!"
It lunged forward again.
This time, however, Zhao Wuji's undead and Talon's undead attacked from both sides at the same time.
Behind Zhao Wuji's spirit, the phantom of the Nether Armored Vajra Bear roared, its fists slamming towards Xiong Jun's waist.
The undead of Tyrone's body surged with a deathly aura of earthy yellow, and the Mighty Ape Martial Soul condensed into a gray-white giant ape, crashing into Xiong Jun from the other side.
The simultaneous attack by two powerful undead was extremely terrifying.
Xiong Jun, however, was not afraid at all.
It swept its arms horizontally.
The dark golden claw-like energy burst forth in a fan shape.
boom!boom!
Zhao Wuji's undead and Talon's undead were blasted away at the same time, and large cracks appeared on their bodies in mid-air. But before Xiong Jun could continue his attack, gray-green flames suddenly fell from mid-air.
Ma Hongjun's spirit spread its wings, and the flames of the Netherworld Phoenix transformed into a sea of fire, pressing down on Xiong Jun.
"roll!"
Xiong Jun roared angrily to the sky.
The dark gold claws ripped upwards, tearing apart the gray-green sea of fire with a single claw, but some of the ghostly flames still landed on it, beginning to corrode its fur and skin.
The flames not only burned the flesh, but also carried the deathly aura of the dead, attempting to corrode the very essence of life.
Xiong Jun's eyes turned cold, and the ferocious beast soul power within his body erupted, forcefully dispersing the flames.
But in that instant, Xiao Wu's ghost appeared behind it.
The Soft Bone Rabbit Martial Soul is activated.
Xiao Wu's ghostly body twisted strangely, her legs wrapping around Xiong Jun's arm like chains.
Xiong Jun reacted extremely quickly, and with a sudden jolt, his immense soul power directly repelled Xiao Wu's undead spirit.
But Xiao Wu's spirit used the force to flip over and landed on the other side, still close to its claws.
Xiong Jun finally realized that none of these undead could threaten it individually.
However, putting them together is extremely complicated.
They are not afraid of death or injury.
They will not lose their fighting spirit despite being severely injured.
Moreover, Tang San never actually made a move.
He was waiting, waiting for Xiong Jun to reveal a weakness. Just as Xiong Jun was being entangled by several undead, a soft, emerald-green light quietly appeared on the other side of the forest.
The light was like spring rain falling on parched earth; wherever it passed, the vegetation that had been eroded by the deathly aura of the Rakshasa began to slowly regain a glimmer of life.
Some of the soul beasts that were not completely dead began to heal their wounds and their breathing gradually became steady under the emerald green light.
A huge swan with a bright green body and long wings slowly emerged from the forest.
She didn't have the same fierce aura as Xiong Jun.
Yes, it is an extremely gentle life force.
Emerald Swan, Brigitte.
She looked at the wounded and dead soul beasts scattered on the ground, her eyes filled with pity and anger.
"Humans".
"You've killed too many people."
Stop.
Tang San shifted his gaze from Xiong Jun to Bi Ji.
In that instant, the greed in his eyes was almost impossible to conceal.
"Such a rich source of life."
"Beauty".
"The strongest healing-type ferocious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."
"You've finally come out too."
Brigitte's expression changed slightly.
At that moment, Xiong Jun suddenly turned around.
It finally understood.
Tang San wasn't just doing this to force it out.
Brigitte was also his target.
Because as long as a large number of soul beasts are injured in the Star Dou Great Forest, Bi Ji cannot sit idly by.
Tang San had foreseen this from the very beginning.
"You deliberately severely injured those soul beasts?"
For the first time, Brigitte's voice turned cold.
Tang San smiled faintly and said:
"good."
"Why would you have come out if you hadn't damaged them like this?"
"The killing intent of the Bear Lord is suitable for condensing my Rakshasa Divine Armor."
"And your life essence can be used to nourish Xiao Wu's undead body."
As he said this, he looked down at the spirit of Xiao Wu beside him, a sickly tenderness appearing in his eyes.
"Xiao Wu needs you very much."
Anger surged in Brigitte's eyes.
"You've gone mad."
Tang San's smile vanished, and his voice turned icy.
"crazy?"
"Once I resurrect Xiao Wu, once I achieve the Rakshasa Godhood, who will dare call me crazy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand.
"Bibi Dong, Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo."
"Win over Brigitte."
Within the black mist, three figures moved simultaneously.
Bibi Dong's spirit was the first to step out.
Behind her, the phantoms of the Death Spider King and the Soul-Devouring Spider King appeared simultaneously, their eight spider legs spreading out like sharp blades, and black and purple spider silk covering the sky and wrapping around Bi Ji.
In the palm of the Chrysanthemum Douluo's undead body, the withered Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum bloomed, and countless black and gold petals spun out, turning into a rain of flowers like blades, slicing towards the protective shield around Biji.
The ghost of Ghost Douluo merged directly into the shadows, silently approaching from the ground.
Brigitte spread her wings.
A turquoise light shield instantly appeared.
Spider silk fell onto the light shield, making a hissing sound, and was continuously purified by the power of life.
The black and gold petals struck the protective shield, exploding into a dense shower of sparks.
But Brigitte is not a ferocious beast of the killing type.
Her greatest strength lies in healing and recovery. Although she can temporarily withstand the attack from three undead at the level of Title Douluo, it is difficult for her to launch a counterattack.
To make matters worse, she also had to focus on healing the surrounding spirit beasts.
Tang San realized this.
A slight smile played at the corners of his lips.
"Ma Hongjun."
In mid-air, Ma Hongjun's spirit spread its wings.
The gray-green phoenix flames swept down again, not targeting Bi Ji, but the severely injured soul beasts that Bi Ji had just saved.
Brigitte's expression changed drastically.
"stop!"
She had to divert a large amount of her life force, transforming it into a rain of emerald green light to cover the soul beasts.
The flames of the Nether Phoenix collided with the rain of life light, producing a piercing corrosive sound.
Brigitte's protective shield weakened instantly, and Ghost Douluo's spirit seized the opportunity, emerging from the shadow behind her, a black ghost hand aimed straight for her back.
Bi Ji suddenly turned around, swept her wings, and knocked Ghost Douluo back. However, Bibi Dong's spider silk from all directions had already gathered and instantly wrapped around one of her wings.
Chrysanthemum Douluo's undead blade followed closely, cutting a crack in the emerald green shield.
Brigitte let out a muffled groan and staggered back several feet.
Upon seeing this scene, Xiong Jun's eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
"Princess!"
It roared, and the dark golden light within its body erupted completely.
The terrifying aura of the ferocious beast swept across all directions.
The spirits of Xiao Wu, Dai Mubai, Zhao Wuji, and Tai Long were simultaneously repelled by the shockwave.
Xiong Jun crossed his claws, and the terrifying power of the dark gold claws was concentrated to the extreme.
"Dark Gold Terror Claw!"
boom--!
Ten claw-like beams crisscrossed, forcefully tearing apart the encirclement of the undead.
Half of Dai Mubai's body was torn apart.
The chest of Zao Wou-Ki's spirit collapsed.
The undead Talon had one arm severed.
Xiao Wu's undead spirit was also struck by the claw's edge and sent flying backward.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiong Jun rushed towards Bi Ji.
But Tang San had been waiting for this moment.
Suddenly, streaks of purplish-black array patterns lit up the ground beneath his feet.
Those array patterns didn't just appear recently.
Rather, Tang San had already secretly laid the groundwork when he slaughtered the ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts.
The blood of the soul beast, the resentment of the ten-thousand-year-old beast soul, and the deathly aura of the Rakshasa God's power together formed a massive Rakshasa Trapping God Array.
The moment the formation lit up, countless eerie green chains burst forth from the ground.
They coiled around the bear's limbs, waist, and claws like venomous snakes.
With a roar, Xiong Jun unleashed his dark gold claws, tearing through the chains with fury.
But after the chains shattered, they miraculously reformed from the deathly aura.
Moreover, each chain is devouring the life essence within its body.
Xiong Jun's movements suddenly froze.
Tang San slowly descended from the giant tree.
"Mr. Bear."
"You're in too much of a hurry."
"The angrier you are, the more flaws you reveal."
Xiong Jun stared intently at Tang San.
"mean!"
Tang San said coldly:
"You soul beasts believe in the law of the jungle."
"Now I am stronger than you, and I am a better hunter than you."
"What makes you call me despicable?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Tang San raised the Rakshasa Demon Scythe.
On the scythe blade, a ghostly green light frantically gathered.
"Rakshasa, Soul-Devouring Slash!"
A massive, eerie green scythe-like shadow descended from the sky, aiming straight for Xiong Jun's head.
Xiong Jun roared and forcefully raised his claws to defend himself.
boom--!
The scythe shadow collided with the dark gold claw, unleashing a terrifying impact.
The ground beneath Xiong Jun's feet cracked inch by inch.
The Rakshasa chains tightened rapidly, and although Xiong Jun managed to block the attack, large black marks appeared on its dark gold fur due to the Rakshasa's death energy.
A flicker of excitement flashed in Tang San's eyes.
"very good."
"A few more times, and your essence will be mine."
Just then, several terrifying auras suddenly emanated from deeper within the forest.
A deep dragon roar resounded.
Immediately afterwards, crimson flames illuminated the night sky.
"Tang San!"
"You dare to touch the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
A three-headed giant dog engulfed in crimson flames burst forth from the forest.
Red King.
As soon as it appeared, its three heads simultaneously spewed out blazing flames, sweeping towards Tang San.
At the same time, beneath the ground, countless thick vines grew wildly, transforming into a huge green cage, attempting to trap Tang San's Rakshasa Formation.
The King of Ten Thousand Demons has also arrived.
Further away, a cold yet noble dragon's might slowly rose.
A dark purple dragon shadow emerged from the dense forest.
Murasaki.
The Demon Dragon King of Hell.
The three ferocious beasts appeared at the same time, and the atmosphere of the entire forest surged instantly.
The soul beasts, who had been suppressed by Rakshasa's death energy, seemed to finally see hope for a counterattack.
Xiong Jun grinned, revealing his chilling fangs.
"Tang San".
"Do you think the Star Dou Great Forest is only inhabited by me and Bi Ji?"
The Red King roared:
"Kill him!"
The voice of the Demon King was cold and deep:
"We cannot allow the power of the Rakshasa to continue polluting the forest."
Zi Ji stared intently at the ghost of Xiao Wu behind Tang San, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
"Even a 100,000-year-old soul beast has been turned into a puppet."
"Human, you are even more disgusting than evil spirit masters."
Despite the sudden appearance of the three ferocious beasts, Tang San showed no sign of panic.
On the contrary, the excitement in his eyes was even stronger.
"it is good."
"very good."
"The more the better."
"One Bear King and one Brigitte are not enough."
"Plus the Crimson King, the Demon King, and Purple Princess..."
"Now this is worthy of my ninth trial as a Rakshasa!"
He suddenly opened his arms.
The Rakshasa Scythe hovered in front of him.
The black mist behind them churned wildly, and the eleven undead titled Douluo simultaneously let out low roars.
The Rakshasa Divine Mark between Tang San's brows throbbed violently, and a purplish-black beam of light shot into the sky, tearing a crack in the night sky above the Star Dou Great Forest.
"The Rakshasa Divine Court".
"Everyone pitched in."
"Today, all ferocious beasts in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest—"
"None of them will leave!"
As soon as the words were spoken, eleven undead spirits simultaneously charged out. (End of Chapter)
