Douluo Continent: I am the true master

Chapter 26 Emperor Tian and Snow Emperor

Ye Wen, who ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest alone, did not linger in the outer areas, as there were at most some ordinary soul beasts that were three or four thousand years old there.

Ye Wen, now possessing a terrifying strength of 11,000 jin, looks down on these soul beasts. To find soul beasts with nearly 10,000 years of cultivation, he must enter the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest; that is Ye Wen's target.

However, if some experienced Soul Masters heard Ye Wen's thoughts while he was alone, they would only laugh at Ye Wen's overestimation of his abilities.

Because the mixed zone is a dangerous place that can only be barely entered with the protection of a Soul Saint-level expert.

After all, the soul beasts in the mixed zone can only be described as less than dogs for ten thousand years and scattered all over the ground for a thousand years. Ordinary soul master groups entering it are practically guaranteed to die nine times out of ten.

Fortunately, the existence of the seemingly bug-like simulation space gave Ye Wen full confidence that he could find the soul beast he wanted within it.

Unless one is extremely unlucky and encounters a top-tier spirit beast with spiritual attributes, a ten-thousand-year-old spirit beast that has just acquired a certain level of intelligence will have absolutely no way of discovering Ye Wen's whereabouts.

After all, regardless of the circumstances, Nabu's martial soul was personally recognized by the world's consciousness as a god-level martial soul. It would be too humiliating for it to be discovered so easily.

This is the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest at this time.

Lake of Life - Truth.

A pair of golden eyes opened in the dark depths of the lake; they were cold, vertical golden pupils.

"The aura of a ferocious beast from elsewhere, such pure and cold soul power—could it be one of the three Heavenly Kings from the far north?"

Hmm. Within this icy soul power, there is a faint hint of gentleness. This feeling, the ultimate ice, could it be the Snow Empress?

"No matter who it is, we can't let her disturb the Lord's slumber at this critical juncture. I'll go myself and see what she's up to," Di Tian muttered to himself.

Meanwhile, Ye Wen was still carefully searching for the soul beast he wanted. His target was a soul beast with a shadow-traversing soul skill, which would greatly enhance his survivability. He was completely unaware that the true king of the Star Dou Great Forest had already left his lair.

"Snow Emperor, what brings you here?"

Suddenly, a middle-aged man with a square face and golden eyes, dressed in a black robe and a firm expression, appeared in front of Xue Di.

Xue Di merely glanced calmly at Di Tian. Although she couldn't defeat Di Tian, ​​Di Tian also couldn't easily take her life.

"I have no ill intentions in coming here. It's just that the Child of the World needs to grow, and I'm here to protect him," the Snow Empress said coldly.

"The Child of the World?!" Di Tian murmured, his brows furrowing slightly as he looked in Ye Wen's direction.

"The 'Chosen One' you're talking about is that human? Although he's very good at hiding his abilities, I can't see any divine favor in him. Are you mistaken about something?"

"The world consciousness manifested before me, solely to give him a divine revelation. And my subconscious has also been telling me to protect his growth."

Therefore, Di Tian, ​​please don't meddle in other people's business. Although he is human, he is accompanied by a 10-year-old transformed soul beast. He has no ill intentions towards our soul beast race and has exercised restraint when hunting soul beasts. The future of the world rests on his shoulders, and I will not allow you to have any thoughts about him.

As Xue Di spoke, a chilling soul power gradually emanated from her body, and wisps of white frost enveloped the area.

Seeing this, Di Tian frowned slightly. Although this soul power could not affect him, he still had to carefully consider Xue Di's words.

But being a remnant of the Dragon God era, he scorned the so-called Son of the World. However, in order not to disturb his master's slumber, he spoke slowly.

"Don't worry, it would be an insult to my name, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, to attack the weak. As for the so-called Son of the World, you can protect him yourself."

Remember, do not enter the core area, and especially do not attempt to enter the Lake of Life, otherwise, even you, I will kill without hesitation.

As he spoke, Di Tian released a killing intent, and the two massive soul energies collided, causing the surrounding soul beasts to riot. Then, Di Tian instantly left the place.

At this moment, Ye Wen was unaware that the emperors of the two great gathering places of soul beasts had clashed not far from him. Instead, he was startled by a group of soul beasts that suddenly rioted and quickly climbed a tree to assume a defensive posture.

Looking down at the surging group of soul beasts, Ye Wen clicked his tongue in amazement.

"As expected of the largest gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, these soul beasts are all quite outstanding!"

Suddenly, Ye Wen's eyes narrowed as he looked at a black leopard-like soul beast rushing towards him from afar.

"A shadow leopard over nine thousand years old. I can't see its exact details, but it's worth the effort. It'll come to us without any trouble."

Ye Wen then pulled out his crossbow, narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot an arrow.

But it was, after all, a soul beast with a cultivation level extremely close to ten thousand years. The shadow leopard seemed to sense something, quickly transforming into a shadow and disappearing into the shadows, thus dodging the sudden, deadly arrow.

"As expected of a soul beast possessing the soul skill I desire, it managed to dodge my deadly arrow under those circumstances. But now that I've set my sights on it, you won't be able to escape."

Feel the terror of the invisible assassin, poor little leopard.

Ye Wen followed silently.

Having escaped the rampaging pack of spirit beasts, the shadow leopard remained wary, scanning its surroundings. Although it didn't know where the arrow had come from, it clearly recognized it as a human weapon, meaning a spirit master was watching it.

"Roar—" The Shadow Panther let out a warning roar, its fur bristling as if it intended to startle the enemy.

Unfortunately for Ye Wen, he had already seen through this simple beastly tactic and silently approached the Shadow Leopard.

"I'm sorry, and goodbye forever," Ye Wen murmured, then pulled the trigger.

It can only be said that the disguise effect of the Soul Skill "Mixed Space" is too powerful. Without top-notch combat intuition or special talent, it is impossible to discover that the sixth brother, Ye Wen, is hidden in the Mimicry Space.

Until its last breath, the Shadow Panther's eyes were filled with confusion, completely unable to comprehend how it had been attacked.

Finally, looking at Ye Wen, who had revealed his figure, he seemed to want to curse something.

You old fool, if you've got the guts, let's have a proper fight.

But Ye Wen clearly didn't get this emotion. He was just a scholar, rational, and his defining characteristic was achieving his goals in the simplest way. The glory of a warrior had nothing to do with him.

Watching the purple-black soul ring slowly gather, Ye Wen was amazed no matter how many times he looked at it. This world was truly twisted. Other fantasy worlds at most had some inner cores or magic crystals, but this world directly extracted the cultivation of soul beasts and let soul masters devour them. It didn't seem normal at all.

"Nine thousand nine hundred years, just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to a ten-thousand-year soul beast. I really hunted it down at just the right time."
