Douluo: Legend of Ancestral Dragon

The Titan Ape chuckled a few times, acting like a little brother in front of Xiao Wu.

Ao Tian knew that both Da Ming and Er Ming, the two soul beasts, were fond of Xiao Wu.

However, Xiao Wu had already taken human form. If they didn't, they'd never have a chance.

Xiao Wu landed on Er Ming's shoulder and said, "Let's go back. Senior Ao still needs to take us into that mysterious area."

Er Ming roared excitedly, eager to try.

Most soul beasts were naturally combative, and the Titan Ape was a battle-crazed beast. But within the Star Dou Great Forest, aside from the Sky Azure Bull Python, there were no other soul beasts it could fight.

And the Sky Azure Bull Python wasn't the type that enjoyed fighting, which made the Titan Ape quite miserable.

Now that it knew there were many even more powerful soul beasts deeper in the forest, how could it not be excited?

Ao Tian is too strong for me, but those soul beasts shouldn't all be much stronger than me, right? Er Ming thought to himself.

Back in front of the lakeside grass hut, Xiao Wu's mother saw the scars on Er Ming and immediately felt a little heartache.

"Aunt Bao, it's nothing. I'm tough, I'll recover quickly," Er Ming said with a big grin.

Ao Tian looked over and saw that the wounds on Er Ming were slowly wriggling. If he looked closely, he could even see new flesh beginning to grow.

This guy's talent is not bad, Ao Tian thought.

"Ao Tian, didn't you say you were going to take us there?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Let's go then," Ao Tian said.

He sat on the Dragon Horse's back, leading the way deeper into the Star Dou Great Forest.

Xiao Wu and her mother sat on Er Ming's shoulders, following behind Ao Tian.

Da Ming twisted its massive body, bringing up the rear.

They'd traveled this path countless times. When Xiao Wu, Da Ming, and Er Ming were young, they were fascinated by the Mystic Formation there, treating it as a playground.

Even though they rarely went there as they got older, they were still very familiar with this route.

After walking for half an hour, Ao Tian suddenly stopped.

"We're about to enter the Mystic Formation's perimeter," Xiao Wu said.

Before them lay a Stone Forest. Various oddly shaped giant stones stood on the ground, dividing the area into wide paths that resembled a maze.

However, the Stone Forest's vertical range wasn't large, only less than a thousand meters. One could see the tall trees at the end, but the horizontal range was much longer.

Ao Tian nudged the Dragon Horse's flanks, and it continued forward, entering the Stone Forest.

Xiao Wu hurriedly reminded from behind, "Ao Tian, this Stone Forest already has a Mystic Formation effect."

Ao Tian didn't turn around and said, "I know. Just follow me."

Xiao Wu was right; this Stone Forest did have a mesmerizing effect.

However, in Ao Tian's opinion, this kind of formation was simply crude. It could fool those ignorant Soul Beasts and Soul Masters, but it had no effect on him whatsoever.

He had spent thousands of years on this planet, from being weak to invincible. Later, bored, he studied various things like alchemy, refining weapons, and formations… Finally, unable to bear the solitude, he fell into a deep sleep.

His slumber was also a form of cultivation. When he awoke, his cultivation base was stronger beyond measure compared to before.

"We need to hurry and catch up," Xiao Wu urged from behind.

Er Ming began striding forward with his massive steps, following them in.

The paths within this Stone Forest were spacious, easily accommodating even Er Ming's enormous size.

Xiao Wu said, "When we were little, we couldn't even get through this Stone Forest. We'd be walking in, but then we'd just end up back where we started."

She pointed towards the towering trees at the end of the Stone Forest, saying, "We'd be looking at those trees over there, trying to move forward, but we'd quickly realize that the scenery on all sides was exactly the same."

"Ao Tian, look." Xiao Wu's finger pointed around them.

At this moment, the tall trees at the ends of the four directions – front, back, left, and right – had become completely identical.

Xiao Wu said dejectedly, "We can't get in this way. I reckon it won't be long before we're back where we began."

Ao Tian smiled, not saying anything.

Xiao Wu continued, "I know a way to get through this Stone Forest."

"Xiao Wu-jie used a flying soul beast to carry her through it back then," Er Ming said.

At that time, both Da Ming and Er Ming were already huge, and no flying soul beast could carry them. Only Xiao Wu could enter.

Xiao Wu looked dejected. "But after passing this Stone Forest, we couldn't fly over the forest. There's a strange power there that even flying soul beasts can't overcome. So, I walked into the forest, but the situation was the same as in the Stone Forest. I walked around and ended up back where I started."

After saying this, she looked at Ao Tian and asked, "Ao Tian, can we really succeed in entering?"

Ao Tian said, "Don't worry, just follow me."

"Senior Ao is knowledgeable; this place definitely won't be a problem for him," Xiao Wu's mother said.

To Xiao Wu and the others, the scenery on all sides looked identical. Ao Tian knew this was just the Mystic Formation's illusion.

In his eyes, the illusion had no effect whatsoever.

His interest grew. He hadn't expected to find a formation on the Douluo Continent. Although it seemed crude to him, it was quite remarkable for this world.

The core region of the Star Dou Great Forest was far denser with trees than other areas.

The thick foliage blocked the sunlight, leaving the depths of the forest in perpetual shadow.

Yet, at the center of this dense forest, was an area devoid of trees, a lake.

The lake water was clear, so clear that the bottom was visible. Ripples spread across the surface, releasing a vibrant life force that invigorated anyone who smelled it.

Several figures of various shapes and sizes were standing by the lake at this moment.

Standing in the center was a man in a black robe. He looked to be in his forties, with a handsome and resolute appearance. A strand of golden hair hung down the side of his face.

On either side of him were men and women, all their gazes fixed on the lake ahead.

"Beast God, how much longer do we have to stay here?" a powerfully built man asked the man in the black robe at the center.

The man called the Beast God said, "The master is too severely injured. It will take at least ten thousand years for him to awaken."

"Ten thousand years, and then another ten thousand years… Heh, how many ten thousand years have passed? I'm about to get sick of being cooped up here," the burly man said, his emotions running high.

The Beast God said, "Protecting the master is the meaning of our existence. Only the master can lead us, the soul beasts, to regain that supreme glory. Xiong Jun, if you can't bear it, I can fight you."

"Let's fight then," Xiong Jun's dark golden eyes flashed with a hint of violence.

"Beast God, someone has entered," a woman in a long, emerald green dress suddenly said.

The tyrannical aura emanating from Xiong Jun paused for a moment, then it swelled up violently.

"Excellent. This is just what I need to relieve my boredom and fill my stomach."
