Douluo Dalu - Volume 01-48

by Tang Jia San Shao

  Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked face to face. Ghost Douluo said:

  “No matter what, we have to go take a look. The target should be nearby. I would prefer to kill by mistake than to let it escape. Let’s go.”

  Twenty Spirit Hall experts shot up. Hu Liena just prepared to help Tang San up by his arm, when Xie Yue to the side had already pulled him up, placing his arm over his shoulder. At the same time he used his expression to stop Yan from doing the same. With Yan’s hostility towards Tang San, Hu Liena absolutely wouldn’t permit him to protect Tang San. Xie Yue was different, he was after all her big brother.

  Xie Yue nodded to Hu Liena, indicating she not worry, but Hu Liena still worriedly followed next to her brother, looking at the deathly pale Tang San with his eyes closed, his whole body weight seemingly hanging off Xie Yue’s shoulders.

  A cold light flashed in Hu Liena’s eyes. She felt an extreme grudge for Tang San’s condition, killing intent already rising in her heart.

  Even Tang San himself hadn’t expected that his intent to snoop around would actually fall into the eyes of Spirit Hall’s people. Whether the two Title Douluo or Xie Yue, they were all a lot less on their guard against him. Of course, Yan’s attitude towards him still wouldn’t change.

  The Spirit Hall group swiftly advanced in the direction Tang San indicated. What Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo didn’t expect was that as they went deeper, the spirit beasts in the surroundings actually grew fewer. Some formidable spirit beasts that had originally followed to spy on them unexpectedly completely disappeared as they continued inside the forest. There was only the calls of some insects and birds, the excessive calm making these two formidable powers increasingly alert. They were both people who had endured winds and waves, they naturally wouldn’t relax because of the peaceful surroundings.

  Chapter 159: Xiao Wu, My Beloved, We Finally Meet Again

  Even though Xie Yue carried Tang San, having reached the sixtieth rank, a Spirit Master’s body was already fairly powerful, and it didn’t lower his speed. Tang San also leaned on him, quickly recovering his spiritual force. He was also constantly in blue silver grass’ environment, so even though his spiritual force had been seriously injured, his recovery speed was still extremely astonishing. While the Blue Silver Domain only affected him, barely perceptible to the naked eye blue silver grass energy was constantly rushing into his body, complementing his losses. Of course, on the surface he still appeared that weak.

  Sensing the gradually approaching location where his spiritual force previously scouted, Tang San’s heart once again grew nervous. Even if the two auras from before were so formidable, the strength of these Spirit Hall people wasn’t low either. Could those two formidable auras really protect Xiao Wu?

  “Welcome to Star Dou Great Forest.”

  Suddenly, a soft and tender voice came from ahead, making Ghost Douluo furthest ahead swiftly halt.

  Hearing this voice, even if he always hid it, Tang San’s body still couldn’t help trembling a moment. Five years, five years had passed, he finally heard this touching voice again. If it wasn’t Xiao Wu, then who?

  Chrysanthemum Douluo’s figure flashed, already at Ghost Douluo’s side. The two glanced at each other, Chrysanthemum Douluo gesturing to the Spirit Hall experts behind him, the formation of twenty Spirit Sages immediately changing. The formation tightened, becoming a circle, surrounding the Golden Generation and Tang San in the middle. At the same time they released their spirits. Twenty Spirit Sages simultaneously releasing their spirits was absolutely a spectacular scene, in an instant, with them as the center, the air violently distorted within a hundred meters. One dazzling spirit ring after another appeared on them.

  The Golden Generation trio’s spirits also released simultaneously. Xie Yue supported Tang San with one hand, Moon Blade already appearing in his other hand. Each person looked ahead, brimming with vigilance.

  “Haven’t you looked for me for a very long time? Now you’ve found me, don’t you dare come over?”

  The gentle voice rose once again. The peace within that voice gave all the Spirit Hall experts a kind of strange feeling.

  Chrysanthemum Douluo gave Ghost Douluo a nod, the two taking the lead to step forward. Having found their target with great difficulty, even if there really was a trap ahead, they still had to step inside. If they missed this opportunity, they didn’t know how long it would take to find this crafty rabbit again.

  Passing through a dense stretch of forest, the line of sight directly ahead opened up to a wide panorama. The pupils of each person from Spirit Hall contracted almost simultaneously, because, appearing in front of them, was an indescribably beautiful scene.

  The clear little lake made the atmosphere become even more humid. The large trees all around were invertedly reflected on the surface of the lake, everything illuminated by sunlight, making everything reflected on the water sparkle.

  Next to such a moving scene crouched an extremely large silhouette. That was an existence like a mountain, covered with black fur, sparkling with faint luster under the faint sunshine. Even though its four limbs were on the ground, the height of its shoulders still surpassed seven meters. If it stood upright, perhaps it would be over fifteen meters.

  By appearance, this was a creature like an ape or chimpanzee, besides the lantern sized eyes twinkling like yellow crystals, it was pitch black all over.

  This big fellow was really too majestic, majestic on an inconceivable degree. Not only was its body enormous, but each part of its body was moreover covered with muscles more terrifyingly solid than granite, bulging like small hills. Its entire body was like a combination of power and perfection.

  If it could be said to represent masculinity, then the silhouette on its shoulder was the peak of gentleness and beauty.

  Wearing a long white dress covering even her feet, delicate features just like a fairy where not even the slightest flaw could be found, long black hair scattered over her back hanging all the way down to the giant ape’s shoulder, if seen from behind it would look like a black waterfall hiding her entire body.

  Each strand of hair seemed supple and unyielding, her elegance at the peak of the world. Her beauty came not only from herself, but was a union with her surroundings. This moment, even with Hu Liena’s confidence in her own beauty, had a somewhat inferior feeling.

  Tang San had long since opened his eyes. At this moment, the expression in his eyes was stupefied.

  Five years had passed, and Xiao Wu was even more beautiful, a little taller, also a little more ample, that immaturity already transformed into a representation of beauty. A pair of big eyes glittering with soft light overlooking the Spirit Hall team across the lake, as if she was the center of everything around her. Right now, she was like the goddess of the forest incarnate, quietly standing on the shoulder of the incomparably majestic Titan Giant Ape.

  The majority of the Spirit Hall experts’ gazes focused on Xiao Wu, but the two Title Douluo rigidly watched the Titan Giant Ape under Xiao Wu’s feet. The Titan Giant Ape didn’t release its oppressive aura, but just by crouching there, it gave people an impression of a profoundness like a lofty mountain.

  Only now did they understand why there would be so few formidable spirit beasts nearby, it was because this was the domain of the king of the forest! What common spirit beast would dare court death by entering the forest king’s domain?

  There were no ripples in Xiao Wu’s gentle gaze, quietly watching the two Title Douluo,

  “You’ve been looking for me for a very long time, then, today we’ll settle it here.”

  As her words fell, the yellow crystal like eyes of the Titan Giant Ape she stood on abruptly brightened. Even though it was daytime, they were still like two suns, an aura as towering as a mountain majestically released, forming ripples on the surface of the lake in front of it.

  Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo hadn’t expected that they would run into a terrifying spirit beast like the Ti
tan Giant Ape here. They of course knew that if they could kill the Titan Giant Ape, the advantages they would gain wouldn’t be any different from that human form stage hundred thousand year spirit beast Xiao Wu. However, what kind of existence was the Titan Giant Ape? King of spirit beasts. Even equal level spirit beasts could only tremble and kneel before it.

  The position of the Titan Giant Ape among spirit beasts was even higher than that of dragon and phoenix spirits among spirits. In their experience, they had only ever heard of one person defeating a Titan Giant Ape, and that person was the one who had killed the previous Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff, Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.

  “Hou——”

  The Titan Giant Ape’s enormous body stood upright, an aura with a pressure just like Mt. Tai raising giant waves on the lake surface. Xiao Wu still stood on its shoulder, black hair fluttering from the currents in the surroundings. But the expression on her face was still quiet and calm.

  The human firework aura she had gained in those days together with Tang San, in five years, had been calmed in the quiet of the forest. It seemed as if these formidable enemies in front were unrelated to her.

  Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo simultaneously released their spirits, nine spirit rings erupting from each of them, then withstood the imposing manner of the Titan Giant Ape. Ghost Douluo said in a low voice:

  “Chrysanthemum Guan, you block this big fellow for a while, I’ll grab that rabbit first. If we succeed, we’ll immediately withdraw.”

  The two had worked together for many years, and Chrysanthemum ouluo naturally understood his meaning. The Odd Velvet Heavenly Chrysanthemum in his hand shook against the wind, rapidly growing larger, his seventh spirit ring subsequently brightening. Confronting the Titan Giant Ape, he at once released his Spirit Avatar.

  Ghost Douluo shouted loudly,

  “The rest of you stay where you are.”

  As he shouted, he was already soaring through the air, his entire body completely illusory, even the nine spirit rings around him couldn’t be seen clearly.

  Quickly growing to five meters long, the enormous golden chrysanthemum swept under Chrysanthemum Douluo’s feet. Gui Mei became a line of mirages shooting straight for the other side, and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan didn’t stand still either, equally soaring up, travelling over the waves, swiftly dashing after Ghost Douluo towards the opposite bank, one person above and one below. Even though Ghost Douluo was fast, that giant Chrysanthemum in the advancing Chrysanthemum Douluo’s hand had already flown out first, the golden flower still growing larger in the air, each golden petal appearing dazzlingly beautiful.

  Yue Guan seemed to be connected to that giant Odd Velvet Heavenly Chrysanthemum he threw out, pulling him with a speed that for a short time wasn’t inferior to the ghostly Ghost Douluo.

  The Titan Giant Ape’s two eyes revealed a trace of disdain. Confronting the charge of two Title Douluo, he shrugged his shoulders, making Xiao Wu standing there fly up, falling behind it. The instant Xiao Wu left, it also moved.

  The king of the forest was the king of the forest, in a flash erupting with speed completely disproportional to its build, going to directly collide with the Ghost Douluo in the air. As for that Odd Velvet Heavenly Chrysanthemum and Chrysanthemum Douluo flying at it, it basically ignored.

  Gui Mei clearly felt that, the moment the Titan Giant Ape threw itself towards him, everything around him seemed to congeal, his body as heavy as if injected with lead, his original speed like a ray of light or flitting shadow abruptly slowed. Everything before his eyes seemed to distort.

  Domain, this was the power of a domain. Ghost Douluo immediately recognized this ability. His conjecture was extremely accurate, as king of the forest, Gravity Control Domain was one of the Titan Giant Ape’s abilities. Among countless kinds of spirit beasts, there weren’t more than ten kinds that could truly grasp the power of a domain, and the spirit beasts among these ten kinds that could cultivate the domain were even fewer. Ghost Douluo had undoubtedly drawn first prize.

  The Titan Giant Ape’s Gravity Control Domain was different from common Gravity abilities. Within this domain, it could casually control any change in gravity, maybe amplifying it, or maybe suddenly reducing it.

  As an agility attack type Douluo, Ghost Douluo was most skilled in speed. However, when the Gravity Control Domain fell on him, it immediately counteracted his most skilled speed.

  The Titan Giant Ape was in no way as honest and straightforward as it seemed on the surface. His Gravity Control Domain focused on Ghost Douluo alone, and in an instant the gravity around Ghost Douluo became ten times greater. The mirage grew clear, Ghost Douluo’s true features appearing.

  That was the face of a gloomy middle aged man, emaciated, dark skinned, a pair of reserved eyes right now displaying a shocked expression.

  The Titan Giant Ape’s immense fist swung out, and Ghost Douluo could clearly feel all the earth element in the surrounding air condensing on this one fist.

  If it was under normal circumstances, confronting such a giant as the Titan Giant Ape, he could have dodged without problem. But the sudden tenfold increase in gravity caused him enormous trouble. Even throwing it off with his Title Douluo strength was difficult. But he dared even less allow himself to collide with this fist. Enduring the fist of the king of the forest head on could perhaps only be accomplished by an abnormal like the Clear Sky Douluo.

  Without the slightest hesitation, Ghost Douluo’s seventh spirit ring flashed, Spirit Avatar abruptly releasing, making his whole body instantly become even more illusory. If he could previously be described as layers of shadow, then, at this moment he became almost transparent.

  The Titan Giant Ape’s enormous yellow crystal eyes displayed a disdainful mockery. Just when Ghost Douluo used his seventh spirit ring ability, suddenly, the originally ten times stronger gravity instantly disappeared. Even more terrifying was that the ten times stronger gravity in a split second became ten times weaker instead.

  Ghost Douluo had all along tried to throw on the restrictions of the Gravity Control Domain on him, and when the gravity suddenly changed so violently, he basically didn’t have a chance to react, instead practically speeding up towards that terrifying Titan Giant Ape fist.

  Hong—— An intense explosion of energy resounded in the air, that transparent shadow flying out without the least suspense, being directly blasted back to the Spirit Hall experts’ shore.

  In fact, after Ghost Douluo released his Spirit Avatar, he was immune to physical attacks, capable of phasing through any physical attacks, as if his body was intangible.

  But even under such circumstances, the Titan Giant Ape’s terrifyingly heavy force still blasted him away, the amount of power contained in that fist was obvious. As one of the peak existences among spirit beasts, its strength was just like Tang San estimated. Already above the majority of Title Douluo.

  Chrysanthemum Douluo Guan Mei’s attack still hadn’t fallen on the Titan Giant Ape. He saw Gui Mei being blasted away face to face, and immediately gave up on the original battle plan, not daring to give any attention to Xiao Wu behind the Titan Giant Ape’s back.

  But just at this moment, a feeling of intense crisis abruptly came from below him. Chrysanthemum Douluo’s reaction couldn’t be called slow, pulling down the originally forward charging Strange Velvet Heavenly Chrysanthemum with all his strength, heavily whipping the surface of the water below his feet, and he drew on the opposing force from his spirit attack to soar high into the air.

  Puu——

  Countless splashes turned to dazzlingly beautiful rays of light, instantly drowning that Strange Velvet Heavenly Chrysanthemum. The air suddenly became humid, a more than four meter diameter giant bull head abruptly bursting from the water. That Strange Velvet Heavenly Chrysanthemum strike was unexpectedly shocked to rebound off it, in fact, right now this Chrysanthemum was in a Spirit Avatar state.

  Thick blue scales, an incomparably enormous body charging towards the sky.
This bull headed serpent’s enormous monstrous mouth spit, a blue light shooting out, and the Chrysanthemum Douluo in the air following in Ghost Douluo’s dust, flying out, in an instant falling back to the opposite back, his expression changing successively.

  “Second oldest, get rid of them, leave none behind.”

  The bull head mouth spit out human words, its ice cold gaze just like a sharp sword, watching everyone on the shore. Everything in the surroundings suddenly turned into a blue colored world, and including Tang San, everyone belonging to Spirit Hall suddenly felt their bodies instantly seem to slow, their speed dropping by at least thirty percent.

  Domain, another domain.

  Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo’s expressions had now turned disastrous. This was the first time they saw this bull-headed serpent-bodied monster, but by its imposing manner and the human words it spit out, its strength was actually even above the Titan Giant Ape. This blue light should be something similar to a Slow Domain. Just like the Titan Giant Ape’s Gravity Control Domain, within the range of the domain, this monster could definitely control various effects of speed.

  Piercing out from the water was the forest emperor, the true lord of this Star Dou Great Forest, the Sky Blue Bull Python. The Slow Domain wasn’t in order to fight the enemies, but rather to keep them from running away. As the lord of this great forest, how couldn’t he know that these people were always looking for Xiao Wu? Drawing them here today was to smash them in one stroke.

  Hou—— The Titan Giant Ape issued a Heaven overflowing roar, its powerful hind legs helping its body shoot out in an instant.

  What did a suddenly flying mountain look like? It was a suitable description for the Titan Giant Ape right now. Even though it was enormous, under the effect of the Gravity Control Domain, it leapt over as if it weighed nothing.
