Tang Sect Continent, the outer region of Star Dou Great Forest.
Star Dou Great Forest is the most extensive and ancient gathering place for Spirit Beasts on Tang Sect Continent. As far as the eye can see, towering ancient trees stand side by side, their branches intertwining and spreading out, enveloped in a green mist that exudes a vibrant, life-affirming aura.
"Roar-"
A roar shattered the forest's tranquil atmosphere. A massive black shadow leaped through the trees, causing large swathes of ancient trees to fall like wheat stalks on either side.
This was a Spirit Beast that resembled a gorilla, its body covered in steel-like brown-black fur. Despite running on all fours, its shoulder height exceeded seven meters, and its physique was incredibly robust, its muscles more solid than granite, each bulge resembling a small hill. Adamantine Baboon, Two Thousand Years of Cultivation.
The Adamantine Baboon was renowned among Spirit Beasts for two reasons. First, as the largest primate Spirit Beast, its brute strength endowed it with an unparalleled physique, granting it exceptional power, speed, attack, and defense. Its only flaw was the lack of ranged attack capabilities. Second, despite being a primate, the Adamantine Baboon possessed unusually low intelligence, acting purely on instinct. It was brutal, bloodthirsty, and domineering, ready to fight at the slightest provocation, causing many Spirit Beasts to avoid
it.
However, this Adamantine Baboon, known for its brute force, was now fleeing!
Its bright yellow eyes, once filled with ferocity and cruelty, now reflected fear and anxiety. The Adamantine Baboon kept glancing back, as if something indescribable and monstrous was pursuing it.
"First Soul Skill, Radiant Spirit Array."
A clear and resonant voice suddenly rang out.
A massive, radiant seven-pointed star array instantly appeared above the Adamantine Baboon's head, its light like a river of stars, as if the world's splendor and decay were all dissolving. As it descended from the clouds, it seemed as if a celestial being was painting with a brush, leaving trails of light in the air.
"Roar!"
The radiance approached, and the Adamantine Baboon decisively stopped fleeing, covering its vulnerable spots with its hands.
The light beams, cold and metallic, pierced through the Adamantine Baboon's defensive arms, splitting them like a door being violently pushed open. Blood splattered like wood chips, and a shadow appeared above its head.
Ling Bai unfurled his Angel Wings, a hazy, illusory six-winged figure embracing him from behind. In his hand, he held a three-foot-long golden sword, and three Soul Rings-one yellow and two purple-glowed brightly at his feet. His handsome face was calm and indifferent, his golden eyes filled with icy, ruthless determination.
The Adamantine Baboon let out a deafening roar, sensing Ling Bai's killing intent. It could no longer hold back, its massive body charging forward like an armored tank. Its colossal arms, like pillars supporting the sky, swung with a gust of wind, aiming for Ling Bai's head.
The Holy Angel Sword descended, meeting the blood-soaked arm. A loud crash echoed as the ground beneath the Adamantine Baboon cracked, terrifying fissures spreading everywhere, and dust filled the air.
A scream of pain emerged from the dust, a hairy arm flying out and landing, forming a perfect parabolic arc.
The severed arm was smooth and flat, golden light surging as blood flowed. A destructive aura rapidly invaded its body, spreading to its limbs and organs. Though the Adamantine Baboon's intelligence was low, its Spirit Beast instincts warned it that if it didn't end the fight quickly, it would grow weaker until it became mere prey for the human.
Enduring the discomfort from the internal destruction, the Adamantine Baboon used its other scarred arm to claw at Ling Bai's abdomen.
Ling Bai seemed unresponsive, and the Adamantine Baboon's clawed hand plunged into his body. Its mouth curved into a triumphant smile.
The next moment, the hand passed through Ling Bai's body without a drop of blood, and his figure became increasingly translucent, vanishing into light dust.
An illusion!
"Roar!?"
The Adamantine Baboon quickly used its remaining arm to protect its vital points. Suddenly,
a golden sword beam struck its back, shredding large patches of brown-black fur, which scattered like a shower of light points.
The blood-red light points were eerily beautiful against the green forest.
Ling Bai reappeared before the Adamantine Baboon, the Holy Angel Sword in his hand glowing more fiercely. His Angel Wings unfurled, and his three Soul Rings pulsed with soul
power.
At that moment, two more figures arrived swiftly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A vivid girl with crimson long hair tied in a high ponytail, her two faintly glowing yellow Soul Rings indicating her status as a Great Soul Master. Her arms were covered in Fire Red Rhombus Dragon Scales, but the scales were cracked, and a trace of blood stained her lips.
The other girl was even more stunning, both in appearance and aura, surpassing the red- haired girl. Her white-golden hair fell to her waist, and her pure azure eyes were like a tranquil lake. A Seven-Colored Crystal Tower floated in her palm, enhancing the sacred and untouchable beauty of her flawless face.
"Brother Bai, how are you?" The silver-white girl's tone was laced with concern.
"Fine, be careful, you and Wu Feng."
Ling Bai's eyes narrowed, locking onto the heavily wounded Adamantine Baboon. "It's going to fight to the death."
"Grr... grr..."
The Adamantine Baboon, supported by its hind legs, stood upright, its height surpassing ten meters. Its fangs ground together, producing a sharp, grating sound, and its red eyes fixed on
Ling Bai and his companions.
These damned, sticky humans!
Especially that flying birdman!
"Roar-"
The intense pain and inner fury finally drove the Adamantine Baboon to madness! Its eyes turned blood red, and its brown-black fur seemed to catch fire, rapidly darkening to a deep
crimson.
Innate Soul Skill, Berserk!
At the same time, the Adamantine Baboon's aura became even more violent. Already lacking in intelligence, it now abandoned the last vestiges of reason, transforming into an unstoppable killing machine.
The Adamantine Baboon no longer felt the pain in its body. Its already massive form swelled even larger, and its iron-like arms swung with such force that they created a series of sonic booms. Its massive body leaped like a cannonball, aiming for Ling Bai.
The berserk Adamantine Baboon exuded an overwhelming presence. Even from a distance, the wind from its leap made Ning Tian and Wu Feng's faces pale. One of them gritted her teeth, refusing to back down, her eyes fixed on Ling Bai's calm figure in the sky. The other
summoned her two yellow Soul Rings.
"Seven treasures emerge, one is crystal!
Seven treasures named, one is strength! Two is speed!"
The Seven-Colored Crystal Tower emitted a misty light, and two seven-colored chains shot out from the first two layers, instantly merging into Ling Bai's body.
The curved sword energy, like a golden meteor with a brilliant golden tail, appeared deadly beautiful in the Adamantine Baboon's eyes.
The radiant golden light illuminated the forest and the faces of Ling Bai and the Adamantine
Baboon.
Ling Bai saw the shock and anger on the Adamantine Baboon's face, and the Adamantine Baboon saw the cold, bloodthirsty look in Ling Bai's eyes, as well as the purple second Soul
Ring that had appeared at some point.
Six-Winged Angel's second soul skill, Evil Repelling Slash!
"Roar!!!"
Ling Bai passed by, and the world seemed to shatter. Sunlight filtered through the towering
trees, casting a golden glow on him. Behind him, the massive Spirit Beast's final roar echoed
as it crashed to the ground.
