Chapter 115 Death!
In the center of the Starry Sky Forest lies a place of great peril.
Di Tian stood with his hands behind his back, a strand of golden hair falling from between his brows. He gazed at the distant sky, his eyes seemingly shimmering with countless rays of light.
Behind him, Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Xiong Jun, and Wan Yao Wang were all gazing into the distance.
Biji looked at Di Tian, frowned slightly, and said softly, "My King, since you are worried, why don't you take action to save them?"
"Da Ming and Er Ming are also invaluable assets of the soul beast race!"
Di Tian sighed softly and shook his head, saying, "If I could, I would also like to save them. But this time is different from the last; the divine aura emanating from that woman is far too strong!"
"She's just one step away from breaking through to godhood!"
"Although that person had the aura of a god, he had been corrupted by the Nine-Headed Bat King and lost his soul. He could be considered a mutant, not a human."
Di Tian turned to look at the group, his expression somewhat grave, and continued, "Even I have to be wary of this Pope's current strength."
"She possesses an aura that I find unsettling—the aura of a deity!"
"Not only that, but recently I've sensed an unusually active aura of divinity! Within just the two great empires alone, there are no fewer than four divine-level auras!"
"In this situation, once we are exposed and suppressed by those gods, the Soul Beast race will have no hope of ever rising again!"
"Right now, our soul beast race needs to lie low!"
Brigitte's eyes were filled with pity, and she sighed softly, "Is this their fate?"
Xiong Jun crossed his arms and sneered, "They brought this on themselves! If that rabbit hadn't betrayed the Soul Beast race, they wouldn't be in this predicament!"
"They'd better not go to any dangerous places, or I'll cripple them myself!"
"Anyone who dares to betray the Soul Beast race will die!"
Although Xiong Jun's words were somewhat extreme, apart from Bi Ji who was somewhat reluctant, the other ferocious beasts remained silent.
Even Di Tian did not refute Xiong Jun this time.
He looked at Bi Ji and asked, "By the way, find the little golden lion as soon as possible. There are too many gods among humans now, I'm worried something might happen."
"Bridget, if you spoil her like this, it'll cause problems sooner or later."
"I understand." Brigitte nodded in agreement. "Once this matter is over, I will go and bring her back."
On the other side of the Starry Sky Forest.
The massive Titan Ape ran wildly through the forest, its huge body coiled around the Azure Bull Python, whose head faced backward, constantly releasing rings of azure light.
Their bodies were already stained red with their own blood. The Azure Bull Python was particularly badly injured; its body, which was originally over thirty meters long, had now lost seven or eight meters of its length.
Even the rest of his body was covered in wounds, most of which were black and rotting. Puffs of smoke occasionally rose from his body, and wherever the smoke reached, plants withered rapidly, demonstrating just how terrifying the poison was acting on him.
Titan Ape was in slightly better condition than Azure Bull Python, but he also had many wounds, especially a huge gash on his chest that was so deep that bone was visible, and one could even vaguely see his powerfully beating heart inside his chest cavity.
If this wound had extended any further in, his heart would probably have shattered.
Although they were now very weak, the eyes of the two divine beasts were filled with resentment and unwillingness. This battle had lasted for too long, more than half a month, and they had been fighting and fleeing all the time.
The humans chasing them were far too powerful, especially the two who had trapped them with their spirit fusion technique last time. If they hadn't used that same damn spirit fusion technique to immobilize them and severely injure them, it wouldn't have been so easy for these people to hunt them down.
If they had known, they should have killed those two humans last time!
The severed tail of Da Ming and the wound on Er Ming's chest were left from that time.
Besides the two humans, there was another exceptionally powerful female human whose direct attacks were so strong that even the powerful bodies of Da Ming and Er Ming couldn't withstand them.
They fought and fled at the same time. If it weren't for their domain being able to slow down the enemy's pursuit, and if they weren't extremely familiar with this Star Dou Great Forest, they would probably have been killed by the enemy long ago.
Both Da Ming and Er Ming possessed intelligence no less than that of humans, so they certainly knew why these humans were hunting them down.
They were unwilling to let these humans take their soul rings and soul bones. They would rather die than let them succeed.
So, despite growing weaker, they continued to flee desperately, showing no sign of giving up.
"Second brother, I can't hold on much longer. Don't worry about me, just run. As long as we're alive, we can always make a comeback. I'll hold off these despicable humans. They're dreaming if they want my soul ring and soul bone. I'd rather destroy myself than let them get away with it."
A glint flashed in Da Ming's eyes, and he said, "Second brother, run towards the most dangerous place; perhaps there's still hope!"
In terms of strength, Da Ming is stronger than Er Ming. In the past ten days of fighting, he has also suffered more attacks from the enemy and is seriously injured. In particular, the poison in his body has been eroding his body and his life force has been rapidly draining away.
"No, brother. As long as I have a breath left, I will never abandon you!" Erming roared, stomping his feet hard on the ground. A strong yellow light spread out behind him, slowing down the approaching enemies once again. The powerful gravity even turned all the plants within the light's range into dust.
"Erming, put me down! If you keep going like this, none of us will survive. Go away!" Daming struggled violently on Erming's back, but Erming held him tightly with both hands and refused to let go.
"Brother, do you think I can still live? That deadly poison has already invaded my heart."
"Even if those few people in the ominous place are willing to help, I won't be able to hold out until then."
"What?" Da Ming was shocked. The bull looked down from Da Ming's shoulder and saw that the inside of the wound on Er Ming's chest had also turned black.
Erming said bitterly, "Brother, you're right. We can't fall into the hands of those bastards no matter what. But since they dared to come, they must have a way to prevent us from destroying our soul rings and soul bones. We need to create distance and have enough time to do so."
"These bastards!" Da Ming roared, turning around abruptly and unleashing a burst of intense blue light. Amidst the deafening roar, the powerful energy collision turned everything behind him into mist, but Da Ming's eyes dimmed even further as a result.
"Sigh, I so wish I could see that kid bring Xiao Wu back to life!"
"That way, even if I die, I'll have no regrets..."
A thousand meters behind Daming and Erming, Bibi Dong, along with Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, followed at a distance.
She wasn't in a hurry at all; her eyes were full of confidence in winning.
In fact, at this point, she alone is enough to kill these two soul beasts!
However, just to be on the safe side, she still brought Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo along, using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill to complete this hunt.
Everything was proceeding according to her plan. After more than half a month of pursuit, both of the forest kings were on their last legs.
As long as she obtains the soul rings and soul bones of these two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, she will definitely be able to overcome that final step!
The three of them calmly used their soul skills to lock onto the two soul beasts, waiting for them to be unable to fight back before killing and reaping the rewards!
At that moment, a familiar voice suddenly appeared in the minds of Da Ming and Er Ming, who were fleeing forward.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, this is Tang San. I'll use my soul skill to control Bibi Dong for a few seconds, and you two can use that opportunity to break free from her control!"
Da Ming and Er Ming were both shocked. Just as they were about to speak, Tang San suddenly appeared and frantically swung the Trident of the Sea God in his hand!
Countless golden circles appeared instantly, catching Bibi Dong and her two companions completely off guard and encircling them!
This is the skill taught by the Sea God: Unpredictable Storms!
Anyone below the God level will have their body forcibly controlled for eight seconds and will be unable to move if hit by the Unpredictable Storm!
After doing all this, Tang San used his soul bone flight skill to fly in front of Da Ming and Er Ming, roaring, "Hurry up, you only have eight seconds!"
At this moment, a glint appeared in Erming's eyes, as if he were experiencing a final burst of energy before death. He grabbed Tang San in his hand and disappeared into the forest in a few leaps.
Bibi Dong was shocked and frantically mobilized her soul power to try to break free from the restraints, but found that she couldn't do it at all!
"Damn it!!!"
She roared inwardly, but she couldn't break free from the golden circle's restraints.
Eight seconds is enough time for a 100,000-year-old soul beast in its final moments of vitality to run a terrifying distance.
After completely shaking off Bibi Dong, Erming suddenly stumbled and fell to the ground, bleeding profusely.
Tang San slipped from his grasp and rolled several times on the ground.
"Great Ming, Second Ming!!"
Tang San ran frantically over, trying to pull the two soul beasts along with him. But how could he possibly do that with his strength alone?
Erming coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, forcing a grim smile. "Kid, don't worry about us, you run! That human is very strong, he might catch up soon!"
Tang San shook his head frantically, "If we're going to leave, we'll leave together! We'll all leave together!"
"It's no use. There's no cure for the Death Spider Queen's venom. The deadly poison has not only invaded our hearts but also corrupted our souls."
"Thank you for saving us. We are content that we didn't die at her hands or become her spirit rings."
Da Ming hung his head, looked at Tang San, and suddenly a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
He pressed further, "Kid, Xiao Wu's aura has disappeared from your body. Have you resurrected her?"
Hearing Da Ming's words, Er Ming also began to carefully sense the surroundings, then suddenly looked at Tang San and asked, "Yes, why did Sister Xiao Wu's aura disappear? What did you do?"
Tang San felt a pang of bitterness in his heart; he didn't know how to explain this to the two soul beasts.
If he were to tell the truth, the two enraged kings of the forest would probably slap him to death right here!
If he could, he would rather die like this, without having to think about anything, and be able to join Xiao Wu sooner.
But he still wanted to avenge Xiao Wu; he couldn't die!
Tang San smiled and nodded to Da Ming and Er Ming, saying, "Yes! I have resurrected Xiao Wu!"
"This time I went to Seagod Island to inherit the Seagod's position and learned the method to revive Xiao Wu from a senior... After returning, I revived Xiao Wu in that precious place in Sunset Forest."
"She is very weak right now, so I have my parents take care of her there."
To prove it, Tang San directly revealed his spirit rings.
Three solitary 100,000-year spirit rings floated on his body; these were the fifth, seventh, and eighth 100,000-year spirit rings.
Seeing this, Da Ming and Er Ming were completely convinced!
Tears welled up in their eyes.
"Sister Xiaowu... has finally been resurrected!" Da Ming coughed up blood incessantly, but a happy smile appeared on his face.
He looked at Erming and said, "Second brother, perhaps we can accompany Xiaowu in another way."
Erming's eyes widened in shock. He looked at Daming, then at Tang San, and nodded heavily.
"Yes, we've reached the end of our lives. We're already content to hear the news of Sister Xiaowu's resurrection."
"If I become this kid's soul ring and soul bone, I can be with Sister Xiaowu."
Tang San was shocked. He looked at Da Ming and Er Ming and asked in surprise, "Da Ming, Er Ming, what are you doing?!"
"Tang San, I'm entrusting Sister Xiao Wu to you from now on!"
Da Ming and Er Ming spoke at the same time, and the next moment, two blazing red lights ignited in the forest.
A blinding red light emanated from between Da Ming and Er Ming's eyebrows, rendering everything within the red light absolutely still.
To avoid being discovered by Bibi Dong, Da Ming and Er Ming deliberately kept the light within a very small area nearby.
Upon seeing that familiar red light, Tang San's heart suddenly stirred.
This is a sacrifice!
When Tang San revealed the moment Xiao Wu was resurrected, it fulfilled the deep-seated desires of Da Ming and Er Ming, and both soul beasts began to regard Tang San as their true partner.
To make amends to him, both Da Ming and Er Ming chose to sacrifice themselves!
Red flames burned from Da Ming and Er Ming's bodies; they were not flames, but a very special kind of blood flame.
What was burning within was the blood, life, and 100,000 years of cultivation of the two soul beasts.
At this moment, Tang San accepted the sacrifice of a 100,000-year-old soul beast for the second time. Although a long time had passed, as he accepted the sacrifice of Da Ming and Er Ming, he couldn't help but recall everything that Xiao Wu had sacrificed back then.
Tang San's body was already immobilized amidst the bloody light, but he used his soul to promise the two soul beasts:
"Daming, Erming, don't worry, I will stay with Xiaowu!"
The bodies of Da Ming and Er Ming were already fading away, and upon sensing Tang San's words, both soul beasts revealed a look of satisfaction in their eyes.
The sacrificial light finally came to an end, and Da Ming's body transformed into a blood-red left arm bone that flew to Tang San's arm and merged into his body.
Da Ming's last words echoed in Tang San's heart: "You are the best human I have ever met. Actually, both Er Ming and I like Xiao Wu, but because we are brothers, we don't want to hurt each other, which is why you got to enjoy it."
"Tang San, I'll compensate you with spirit rings and spirit bones. Don't forget what we've suffered, and protect Xiao Wu for us..."
Da Ming's voice faded away in weakness, and his enormous body transformed into a small blue snake lying flat on the ground. The blue light gradually dissipated, turning into a deathly gray.
A piece of Erming's right arm bone emerged from his body and merged into Tang San's body. At the same time, his deep voice echoed in Tang San's mind.
"Tang San, please don't tell Sister Xiao Wu that both my brother and I loved her. We don't want her to suffer. You must always make her happy and joyful."
"I believe you can do it!"
"If one day you really break through to level 100 and become a god, then you will have the ability to condense our souls and release them from the soul rings and soul bones for a short period of time."
"Let's reunite with Xiaowu then!"
"Love Xiaowu well, and I wish you happiness..."
Erming's body also dissipated into the smoke, the red light faded, and the traces of the two soul beasts completely disappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Tang San looked at the spot where Da Ming and Er Ming had disappeared and couldn't help but burst into tears.
He knew he had made a mistake, but he didn't dare to say it... He didn't want both of his soul beasts to die with regrets.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, don't worry! I will definitely become a god, and I will definitely resurrect Xiao Wu, and you all!"
Tang San was lost in thought and murmured, "This is a man's promise."
"Pfft!!!"
Just then, a sharp, bony tail thorn suddenly pierced through Tang San's chest and went straight through his heart!
Tang San suddenly coughed up blood, lowered his head, and looked at the tail that resembled a scorpion stinger or a tiger's tail. His pupils dilated, and his life force dissipated.
Behind him, Ye Ming's calm and emotionless voice rang out.
"Hmm, that's a good promise. Don't make promises like that next time."
