The Death of the Titan Ape

Chapter 31 The Death of the Titan Ape

Like raindrops of rock spears, they appeared in the sky, casting a deathly shadow that chilled and terrified the soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In that instant, even powerful creatures like the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape felt a tinge of fear.

This is a human Soul Master at the level of a five-ring Soul King? Absolutely impossible!

Originally, although they couldn't see the spirit rings, their intuition as 100,000-year-old spirit beasts could tell that among everyone present, only the old man with green eyes had reached the level of a Title Douluo among humans, which could barely be considered a tiny threat to the two brothers.

The rest are insignificant; those two young humans could probably be killed by the aftershocks alone.

However, the moment this human made a move, it brought them an unprecedented and intense fear! The oppressive feeling brought by those sky-covering rock spears was even greater than that of a Title Douluo! They could clearly sense that those rock spears could actually pierce through their bodies, which were many times harder than steel and were hundreds of thousands of years old!

"roar!"

The Titan Ape let out a deafening roar; it raised its massive fist, its earthen-yellow light flashing intensely, and instantly applied gravity control to the humans present. In an instant, the three Soul Douluo-level elders felt they could barely lift their legs, and they looked at each other in horror.

Meanwhile, the Azure Bull Python roared, and blue lightning crackled around its horns. Compared to the Titan Ape's power, the Azure Bull Python's lightning was a far more terrifying and deadly weapon!

But at that very moment...

"The principles of Heaven will prevail."

Zhongli crossed his arms and spoke calmly. His eyes held no trace of human emotion, only an indifference as serene as an ancient mountain. At this moment, he was no longer "Zhongli," but Morax, radiating boundless ruthlessness.

Once the Rock King's wrath truly descends, no one can withstand it. At least, in the previous world, all beings who endured the Rock King's wrath, including magical beasts larger than mountains and even demon gods, did not survive.

The Rock Lord's barrage of rock spears, falling like raindrops, was absolutely the most terrifying sight on the continent of Teyvat, a sight even the gods would not want to witness!

"Puff puff puff puff"

One after another, rock spears pierced through the thick soul power defenses of the two soul beasts, broke through the lightning that the Azure Bull Python tried to block, and finally pierced through the skin of the two soul beasts, which was harder than rock, and penetrated into their flesh. Almost instantly, the blood of the 100,000-year-old soul beasts stained the nearby Lake of Life red.

Dugu Bo, who was about to activate Medusa's soul bone skill, widened his eyes; he never expected that this young master's move would create such a terrifying scene! No wonder they dared to lead him and his group deep into the Star Dou Great Forest to demand an explanation.

"boom!"

Driven by pain and despair, the Titan Ape unleashed a powerful punch at Zhong Li. A yellowish-brown light, accompanied by a terrifying howl, hurtled towards Zhong Li like an earth dragon capable of shattering mountains. This was the Titan Ape's most powerful attack: the Titan Sky Cannon! Even the Azure Bull Python, another 100,000-year-old soul beast, wouldn't be willing to directly counter this attack.

A resolute glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes; he was ready to rush forward and, regardless of life or death, take the blow for Zhong Li.

"No thought, severing all attachments!"

Another incredibly profound light appeared in the eyes of everyone present.

A deep purple halo floated in mid-air, its markings gleaming brightly; in the darkness, it seemed that infinite power was concentrated on this ray of sword light, making it profound and eternal.

"boom!"

The deep, piercing light of the blade clashed with the earthen-yellow glow. The entire ominous land trembled at that moment.

In an instant, the earth and the waters of the nearby Lake of Life were parted. Also parted was the earthen-yellow light unleashed by the Titan Ape. Disbelief appeared in the Titan Ape's enormous earthen-yellow eyes.

On that enormous halo, dozens of barbs dimmed somewhat. However, blood trickled from the Titan Ape's fist, dripping onto the ground. At this moment, fear had surfaced in the Titan Ape's fearless heart.

This enormous halo, named "Wheel of a Hundred Wishes," is an ability that Shadow gained, or rather, recovered, after fusing with his third soul ring.

The Wheel of a Hundred Wishes can store and condense enormous amounts of energy, including the "wishes" of heaven and earth, which are then condensed into streaks on its surface. The reason why Shadow was able to absorb a terrifying soul ring at the level of a ferocious beast when he was only at the fourth ring was that he contained a portion of that power within the Wheel of a Hundred Wishes.

Shadow's strike just now contained the power of the Wheel of a Hundred Wishes, the immense power of the universe, and even a trace of the tribulation power of heaven and earth specifically targeting soul beasts. More importantly, this strike represented Shadow's unparalleled martial skill.

This strike shattered the power of the Titan Sky Cannon and even injured the Titan Giant Ape. This powerful 100,000-year-old soul beast had already met its end in such a short time.

"As stable as a rock."

An even more despairing scene unfolded for the two soul beasts. The Azure Bull Python unleashed an incomparably powerful azure lightning bolt; this strike, which should have easily killed a human Soul Douluo and severely injured a Title Douluo, crashed into a brown stone wall that stood like a mountain. The lightning dissipated on the rock, yet the ancient patterns on the stone wall did not even tremble.

As Zhongli said, "As solid as a rock." Everyone standing behind the solid wall felt an unparalleled sense of security; just like back then, when the Immortal Army and the Thousand Rock Army stood behind the Rock King Emperor's rock shield, resisting the enemy's barrage of cannon fire.

Besides the massive rock formation, a layer of pale golden light also appeared around Dugu Bo and the three elders; at this moment, they felt an unparalleled sense of security. It was as if even if an attack from a 100,000-year-old soul beast landed on them, as long as Zhong Li was still standing, this shield would not easily break.

Dugu Bo and the three elders unleashed their most powerful soul skills, attacking the already wounded Titan Giant Ape. Ying, too, transformed into a bolt of lightning, wielding his naginata and leaving wounds on the Titan Giant Ape's massive body. Each wound was crackling with electricity.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The lightning bolts shot at the Azure Bull Python from all angles were blocked by the suddenly erected rock pillars or cliffs, causing no damage. Meanwhile, countless rock spears continued to fall from the sky, adding to its wounds. The more it fought like this, the stronger the despair in the Azure Bull Python's heart became. Was this human's soul power inexhaustible?

Zhongli's soul power is certainly not inexhaustible. However, the earth element power in this world is inexhaustible! His control and understanding of the earth element, or rather the rock element, is something that even the Titan Ape cannot match.

As long as the power of the mountain rocks does not run dry, the Rock King Emperor will not fall.

"This is the way of Heaven!"

Zhong Li suddenly let out a low shout, and his figure vanished from the spot. When he reappeared, he was standing in front of the Titan Giant Ape, as if he had teleported; the Rainbow Piercing Spear in his hand had complex pale golden patterns on it—these were the contract patterns symbolizing the Rock King Emperor.

In that instant, Ying knew that the battle was about to end.

"puff!"

The Titan Ape's gaze froze. The Rainbow-Piercing Spear pierced the Titan Ape's chest and heart as easily as piercing tofu!

"To strike at envoys who come with goodwill is a form of punishment."

Zhong Li calmly withdrew the blood-stained Piercing Rainbow Spear from the Titan Ape's body. A glimmer of some kind of law flashed across the spear. The Titan Ape's mountain-like body slowly collapsed.
