Chapter 329
Good! What a fine king of the forest!
Lin Xia's voice was deep and meaningful. In the suffocating silence, it was like a stone thrown into a deep pool, and only Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong could feel the ripples it created.
Their hearts tightened, and they subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin Xia's almost imperceptible gaze—Xiao Wu was keeping her head down, her body trembling even more violently, her long pink hair hanging down, obscuring all her expressions.
In that instant, as if to confirm Lin Xia's words, or as if having lost its last bit of patience, the Titan Ape's mountain-like body leaned forward very slightly!
boom!
It's not a physical movement, just a tiny change in posture!
An immense pressure, more terrifying and condensed than before, as if the entire Starry Sky Forest had come alive and pressed down together, crashed down like an invisible hammer weighing billions of tons!
Centered on it, spiderweb-like cracks silently spread across the ground for tens of meters!
The ancient trees around them groaned under the strain, their branches and leaves flailing wildly!
Tyranitar let out an even more furious roar, and the sand and dust that gathered around him instantly transformed into a raging sandstorm tornado, like countless roaring yellow dragons, sweeping towards the Titan Ape!
The hundred-meter-tall body leaned slightly forward, its massive fist, covered in heavy armor, clenched tightly, dark green energy condensing at the knuckles, distorting the very space around it!
Conflict is imminent!
The king of the forest, Huangjing, coldly reflected the light of the sandstorm and destruction in its eyes. It slowly raised its thick, pillar-like forelimbs, and the muscles beneath its dark fur were like millions of steel cables tightly bound together, spreading a pure sense of power that made the earth tremble.
Without the radiance of soul power or the earth-shattering prelude, the raised giant arm itself seemed to condense a primal power capable of splitting mountains and seas and overturning the universe!
Lin Xia's pupils suddenly contracted. He could clearly "see" that under the Titan Giant Ape's seemingly slow movements, the surrounding spatial laws, the life energy permeating the forest, and even the pulse of the earth beneath his feet were all being forcibly controlled and gathered on the giant arm that was about to be swung out!
This is not a soul skill, yet it surpasses even a soul skill! This is the authority of talent, the power bestowed upon the king by the forest itself!
"Roar--!!!"
Tyranitar's sandstorm tornado collided first with the Titan Ape's raised giant arm!
The violent sand and gravel, powerful enough to tear apart steel and grind down rocks, struck his dark, shiny hair and rock-like muscles, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound!
Sparks fly!
The sandstorm was forcibly diverted and dispersed in front of the giant arm, yet it could not be shaken in the slightest!
The Titan Ape's defense is incredibly strong!
Just as the sandstorm was blocked, the Titan Ape's raised giant arm moved!
It wasn't as fast as lightning, but as heavy as a collapsing mountain! With an unstoppable, all-crushing will, it crashed down on the massive body of Tyranitar, and also on Lin Xia, who was blocking its path!
Along the trajectory of the giant arm's swing, the air was compressed to the extreme, emitting a deep, heart-pounding hum!
There are no fancy techniques, only the purest, most savage, and most direct power!
It was as if the sky had collapsed and stars had fallen! This punch was about to shatter the earth!
"Bangiras! Hold the line!"
Lin Xia's voice was more solemn than ever before. At the same time, the silver-gray spatial power around him surged wildly, spreading like tangible ripples, instantly building layers upon layers of visible spatial barriers in front of him!
Rumble—!!!
The Titan Ape's massive fist, imbued with the will of the forest and the power of the earth, slammed fiercely into the giant arm armor that Tyranitar had crossed to block in front of his chest!
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Immediately afterwards—a visible, grayish-white ring of air, a mixture of violent sand and pure impact, exploded outwards from the point where the two fists collided!
BOOM—!!!
An indescribable roar!
It felt as if a thousand thunderbolts were exploding in their ears at the same time! The entire Star Dou Great Forest trembled violently! Terrifying shockwaves surged in all directions like a world-ending tsunami!
Click! Click! Click!
The ancient trees that were closer to the center, requiring several people to encircle, were snapped in half by the shock, like fragile stalks of wheat!
The massive tree trunks were instantly reduced to dust by the shockwave! The earth was as if it had been violently turned over by an invisible giant plow, with layers of soil being torn up and exposed, revealing the dark brown rocks beneath!
Countless pebbles and broken pieces of wood were swept up and shot into the distance like cannonballs!
"puff--!"
"Ugh!"
"careful!"
Even though the Shrek Seven Devils and the Giant Dragon and Snake family had their power largely blocked by the spatial barrier constructed by Lin Xia and the massive body of Tyranitar the instant the shockwave erupted, they were still sent flying backward like leaves in a storm by the terrifying aftershock!
Oscar and Ma Hongjun, who were slightly weaker, coughed up blood, their internal organs feeling as if they had shifted!
Dai Mubai, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and the others also experienced turbulent blood and chaotic soul power, crashing heavily to the ground. They saw stars before their eyes and heard only a continuous, sharp buzzing in their ears!
Although Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong were protected behind Lin Xia, they still felt as if they had been hit head-on by a battering ram. Their delicate bodies trembled violently, and their faces turned deathly pale instantly.
They stared intently ahead, their eyes filled with horror!
In the center of the battlefield, smoke and dust filled the air like a thick fog.
Despite its towering height of 100 meters, Tyranitar was forced to slide back dozens of meters after taking the earth-shattering punch from the Titan Ape!
Its feet, covered in heavy armor, plowed two terrifying trenches several meters deep into the ground!
On the arm armor, the deep green shell that was strong enough to withstand a full-force attack from a Soul Douluo was now covered with large spiderweb-like cracks!
For the first time, a look of solemnity and... disbelief appeared in the giant, scarlet eyes?
It let out an angry and painful roar, clearly feeling a real threat from the blow!
Lin Xia witnessed Bangiras being blasted back dozens of meters by the Titan Ape's earth-shattering punch. Cracks spread across his arm armor, and for the first time, solemnity and pain appeared in his crimson eyes. The last thought of probing in his heart was completely extinguished, replaced by a raging, overwhelming fighting spirit that was almost bursting out of his body!
"Well done! What a fine king of the forest!"
Lin Xia's voice was deep and thunderous, yet it carried an almost fanatical excitement, as if he had finally encountered an opponent worthy of his full-fledged battle.
In that instant, an even more violent and primal force surged forth—the will of the earth, the desert, and the endless sandstorm!
"Buzz—buzz—buzz—buzz—buzz—!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the five deep, abyss-like soul rings on Lin Xia's body lit up simultaneously in an instant, like stars that had been ignited!
The blinding light almost tore apart the night sky, which was shrouded in the oppressive aura of the Titan Ape! (End of Chapter)
