The Titan Ape stood still, its massive body motionless, without making any defensive move.
It glanced at the celestial incense, then slowly closed its enormous eyes.
The next moment, a turquoise energy bolt struck the Titan Ape's forehead squarely.
There was no explosion as expected, nor any sign of flesh being torn apart.
The energy surge was like a bombardment of a mountain, only managing to stir up a few black hairs on the Titan Ape's tough skin.
Chao Tianxiang's face turned deathly pale instantly.
"That's impossible!"
She exclaimed in a trembling voice.
She is the Soul Emperor!
Her millennium-old soul skill! Even with the opponent treating it so casually, it couldn't even break through their defense?
Flanders' heart skipped a beat when he saw this.
"Senior Snake Granny, please stop!"
Flander's voice was anxious. He had originally planned to take Tang San and Xiao Wu to kill the thousand-year-old soul beast, which was why he used his Martial Soul True Body to save time.
Now that's bad, his Martial Soul True Body is still on cooldown, so he can't unleash his full power!
Flander quickly gave Zhao Wuji a meaningful look.
Even if it's a Titan Ape, it can fly, so it should be able to protect itself. Let the children go first!
Zhao Wuji saw the look in Flander's eyes and understood.
He was also apprehensive, after all, the aura emanating from this Titan Ape was terrifying.
He immediately turned around and shouted to his disciples behind him, "Quick! Don't stand there, follow me and retreat!"
Although Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Zhu Zhuqing, Oscar, Meng Yiran, Tang San, and the others did not understand what had happened, they immediately took action upon seeing Zhao Wuji's solemn expression.
Although Snake Granny Chaotianxiang was unwilling, seeing the Titan Giant Ape's indifferent attitude, she knew that fighting head-on was not the way to go.
She withdrew her martial spirit and turned to follow Zhao Wuji.
As everyone began to retreat, Flander quickly stepped forward, forcing a smile.
"Your Majesty, King of the Forest..."
The Titan Ape slowly opened its enormous eyes, its gaze sweeping over the retreating people before settling on Xiao Wu in the crowd. It then let out an unhappy roar.
Then, an invisible force spread out from its massive body.
Everyone who was retreating felt their bodies suddenly sink, as if they had fallen into sticky mud. Every step became incredibly difficult, and their legs felt like they were filled with lead.
"What's wrong? I feel so heavy!"
Ma Hongjun let out a strange cry and struggled to run, only to find that he was moving as slowly as a snail.
Dai Mubai's expression turned grave. "This is... a gravity field?!"
He felt the heavy pressure around him and was shocked.
He had only ever experienced this level of gravity on Zhao Wuji, but this...
Tang San gritted his teeth, trying to mobilize the Blue Silver Grass soul power within his body, but under this terrifying gravity, even the operation of the Mysterious Heaven Skill became sluggish.
Zhao Wuji's face turned even more grim.
The moment he made contact, he felt even more disheartened! Faced with the Titan Ape's gravity field, his soul skills were like children playing house!
Running away is probably out of the question.
He stopped retreating, turned to face the Titan Ape, roared, and his body began to swell as seven spirit rings rose and swirled around him.
Mighty Vajra Bear, True Form of Martial Spirit!
"Boss, it looks like running away won't be easy anymore!"
Zhao Wuji's voice became rough and deep, "Let the children run, we'll hold them off!"
Flander's face was grim at this moment.
High-level soul beasts are no less intelligent than humans, so he was just thinking that he might be able to appease the soul beast in front of him!
But now it seems...
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang also stopped and glanced at Meng Yiran with worry in her eyes.
"Yiran, you retreat with them first!"
Chao Tianxiang said, "Grandma will be alright, your grandpa will be here soon!"
Meng Yiran looked at her grandmother, then at the terrifying Titan Ape, and her eyes instantly reddened.
"No! Grandma, I want to stay!"
Seeing this, Oscar panicked and stepped forward, grabbing Meng Yiran's arm.
The tentacles touched the girl's soft skin, and his heart fluttered, but fear quickly overwhelmed him.
“Miss Yiran, there’s nothing we can do to help if we stay here.”
Oscar tried to dissuade him.
"If we stay here, we'll only distract the teacher and the Snake Granny!"
Meng Yiran looked at Oscar's anxious face, then at her grandmother, bit her lip, and finally nodded gently. She then turned and followed Oscar and the others as they continued their difficult journey to the outer perimeter.
Flander watched Meng Yiran and the others struggling to move, knowing that there was no other way but to take this step.
Zhao Wuji roared, and his third, fifth, and sixth spirit rings simultaneously shone with dazzling light.
Then, carrying the ferocious power of the Mighty King Kong Bear, it blasted towards the Titan Giant Ape!
Snake Granny Chaotianxiang also made her move at the same time.
Her sixth spirit ring shone brightly, and a huge emerald green snake shadow shot out from her snake staff, carrying a foul stench, and tried to coil around the Titan Giant Ape's body.
Flander flapped his owl wings behind him, soaring into the air. Then, his fourth spirit ring lit up, and dozens of huge wind blades tore through the air with sharp whistling sounds, slashing towards the Titan Giant Ape's neck.
Meanwhile, in another part of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Dragon Lord Meng Shu was knocking out a giant human-faced demon spider.
"Haha, Yiran's third spirit ring is finally settled."
Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he turned his head to look at the distant sky.
