Douluo Amon: I am the Heavenly Venerable of the Dragon King.

Chapter 195 Xie Xie's Rise to Power: Even a Small Fool Should Act Like a Small Fool

"Walk."

In the eleventh level, since the Thunder Beast was captured by Fors without bloodshed, the rest of the group hardly used any soul power and therefore did not need to rest.

The group stepped through the gate of light and entered the twelfth level!

With a flash of light, it was as if we had returned to the previous scene, only the portal had disappeared. The twelfth and eleventh levels looked no different from each other.

"All personnel on high alert!" Tang Wulin shouted as soon as he entered.

Whether it was the Demon Lizard Dragon in the tenth level or the Thunder Beast in the eleventh level, they both left a deep impression on them. If they hadn't happened to have a way to counter them, they probably would have had to expend a lot of effort to pass the levels.

Now, on the twelfth level, they don't think they'll have such good luck again.

In the distance, the metal door was fully open, and a soul beast silently walked out from inside.

When this spirit beast emerged from the cave, it bowed its head. It was over ten meters tall.

Its body was so massive that the previous demonic lizard dragon was nothing more than a little brother in comparison. Its shoulders were over seven meters wide, and its arms were as thick as giant pillars.

"This is... a King Kong baboon?" Yuan Enhui's eyes lit up instantly.

The King Kong Baboon is a strength-type soul beast. It is the largest ape-type soul beast. Yes, the largest. At the same cultivation level, its size even surpasses that of the Titan Ape.

The largest known giant baboon can reach a height of forty meters, making it a true behemoth. Its immense strength has earned it the reputation of being a marvel of the spirit beast world. Aside from a very few other spirit beasts, it is undoubtedly the undisputed king of strength.

Its combat power is pure strength. Terrifying strength grants it terrifying speed. In the jungle, it was once known as the King of the Jungle.

The reason why the Titan Ape was able to surpass it was not primarily due to its strength and skills, but rather its intelligence.

As the saying goes, "all brawn and no brains," the biggest problem with the baboon is its brain.

In the world of spirit beasts, ape-type spirit beasts are generally more intelligent than other types of spirit beasts. This guy is also an anomaly in this respect. His intelligence is very low, or even non-existent.

Everything is driven by the instinct for survival. He is ruthless and has a thirst for killing. Besides his strength, he possesses only one soul skill: Berserk!

Furthermore, it only affects the body and not the berserk state of the soul.

Because it only affects the body, its amplification is even more terrifying. It can increase all related abilities of one's own body by fifty percent.

A thousand-year-old soul beast with only one soul skill is extremely rare. If it were any other soul master, this Vajra Baboon would definitely be a burden. But Yuanen Yehui is different; she has the Titan Giant Ape martial soul.

If the power of the Titan Ape is combined with the power and physical abilities of the King Kong Baboon, it will mutate into an even more powerful soul skill, which is far more than just berserk mode.

"I choose this one," Yuan Enhui said without hesitation.

"Okay, we'll do our best." Tang Wulin nodded to her.

This golden baboon's cultivation level is at least five thousand years. Soul beasts that fight purely by brute force undoubtedly possess extraordinary attack, defense, and speed. While losing ranged attack capabilities, they are endowed with terrifying close-combat abilities.

Given the team's current situation, defeating it will probably require some serious effort.

Yuan Enhui said in a deep voice, "I'll block the front." As she spoke, she spread her arms, and her third spirit ring shone brightly, Vajra Titan!

Finding a suitable soul beast is important, but you also need to be able to defeat it. Yuanen Yehui was the first to rush forward without hesitation.

Although Fors helped, Yuanen Yehui knew very well that she hadn't actually played a significant role in helping Xu Xiaoyan obtain her spirit ring. Given Fors's strength, it wouldn't have mattered whether she was there or not.

In a way, she was in a good position to be able to challenge the Soul Tower, so when she encountered a suitable Soul Ring, she chose to be the first to try it.

His body swelled with the wind, and the aura of the Titan Ape appeared with it.

The giant baboon had been emerging from the cave rather slowly, standing upright, but upon suddenly sensing the aura of the Titan ape, its eyes instantly turned red.

Despite being similar species, the giant baboon and the Titan ape are natural enemies.

Now that it sensed Yuan Enhui's aura, the King Kong Baboon immediately lost its mind.

The giant baboon swung its incredibly thick arms and pounded its chest with all its might, letting out a roar before landing on all fours and charging wildly toward Yuanen Yehui.

"Go!" Tang Wulin shouted, switching to his golden Qi and Blood Soul Ring and charging towards the location of the Vajra Baboon.

Xie Xie sighed and murmured, "Yuan En is really going to go further and further down the path of becoming burly!"

As he spoke, he began to run, circling to the side. Against such a behemoth, those who charge head-on are not typical agility-based attackers.

Gu Yue's hands moved in and out of shape in front of his chest, and strong elemental fluctuations began to appear.

"boom--"

The two enormous figures collided violently.

Yuanen Yehui, who had unleashed her third soul skill, Vajra Titan, was over five meters tall and already quite imposing, but compared to the Vajra Baboon, she was still far inferior. The same was true in terms of strength.

The moment they collided, she was sent flying backward, while the gorilla remained unmoved and continued to pounce on her.

Yuan Enhui was, after all, just a human. Even though he used his third soul skill to amplify himself, how could he compare to the Vajra Baboon, whose cultivation had reached over five thousand years?

Fortunately, Tang Wulin acted in time, his golden dragon claw reaching out towards the golden baboon to try and stop it.

When Tang Wulin lunged at him, the Golden Baboon simply raised its left hand and swatted him away as if swatting a fly.

"boom--"

Tang Wulin was swatted away like a fly. Although he was strong, with the current level of his Golden Dragon King bloodline breaking through the seal, he was still inferior to Yuanen Yehui's Vajra Titan, let alone the Vajra Baboon in front of him.

His body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing directly into a wall in the distance. Due to the enormous difference in strength, the shattering effect of his Golden Dragon Claw failed to trigger successfully.

Just then, the King Kong Baboon leaped up, intending to use its size advantage to pin Yuan En Hui down. At that moment, a crystal-clear ice spear, shimmering with gold, cyan, and blue colors, shot towards the King Kong Baboon.

It was Gu Yue who made the move; in the blink of an eye, the ice spear had already struck the King Kong Baboon.

The King Kong Baboon's defense was indeed astonishing; the ice spear shattered instantly. However, the powerful impact and the explosive force of the three elemental attributes also played a significant role.

It was blasted away from Yuanen Yehui, flying a distance through the air, while icy mist spread out, seemingly trying to freeze it.

Feeling the chill on its body and looking at its mortal enemy not far away, the King Kong Baboon's eyes instantly turned blood red, and even its light golden fur seemed to be on fire, its color rapidly deepening and turning dark red in an instant.

Its overall aura became violent. Already lacking in intelligence, the King Kong Baboon, after entering a berserk state, lost even the last shred of its rationality.

The situation was clearly in favor of the alpha male baboon, but just because it was slightly hindered, it immediately went into a berserk state. No wonder alpha male baboons are known for their low intelligence.

It's important to know that while its physical attributes will surge during berserk mode, the weakness it experiences afterward can be fatal.

The berserk King Kong baboon looked absolutely terrifying. Its already massive body swelled even larger, reaching a height of over twelve meters. It swung and swung its arms, creating a series of explosive sonic booms.

Its previous power was already overwhelming, and now it has increased by another fifty percent, making its terror unimaginable.

"Its cultivation is less than ten thousand years old, and it can only maintain its berserk state for a maximum of ten minutes. It will become weak after going berserk. Everyone be careful." Yuanen Yehui was clearly very familiar with the Vajra Baboon.

After saying that, Yuan Enhui looked at the baboon that was attacking her again and suddenly leaped up. Having just been knocked away, she was not stupid enough to confront the baboon head-on. She changed direction and ran away.

However, she was still a little slower than the King Kong Baboon, who was in a berserk state at the time, and it looked like she was about to be caught up by it.

Just as Yuanen Yehui was about to switch to the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, a voice rang out, "Lie down."

Upon hearing the sound, Yuanen Yehui immediately lay down, and then a huge five-colored ice spike grazed her scalp and crashed straight into the King Kong baboon.

It was Fors, who had been watching the show from the very beginning, who made her move. She had originally wanted to see a great show of King Kong versus King Kong, but she didn't expect Yuanen Yehui to be so weak and get knocked away in an instant.

As teammates, she decisively intervened when she saw that Yuanen Yehui was no match for her.

"Roar!" Seeing the ice spikes coming at him, the King Kong Baboon didn't even think twice and immediately raised its fist to smash them.

But at that moment, the King Kong Baboon felt a sudden stiffness in its body, followed by a complete blank in its mind. Its huge fist involuntarily drooped, and its tense body began to relax.

It was Nan Fusheng who made the move, using his third soul skill combined with consciousness stealing to make the golden baboon lower its defenses.

"boom."

The five-colored ice spikes struck the wide-open body of the King Kong Baboon, carrying its massive body away into the distance. Then, the five elements erupted, but this time the eruption was of dissolving energy.

"Roar!" After being hit, the gorilla finally regained some consciousness and began to struggle.

Until the dissolving power of the five elements disappeared, a large hole could be clearly seen in the chest of the King Kong Baboon. Through the hole, its internal organs could be vaguely seen, and its entire body was charred black.

"roar!"

Even with such severe injuries, the giant baboon showed no sign of pain. Instead, it roared at the group and attacked again.

"Tsk, berserk mode is really a troublesome ability, especially when it's applied to a spirit beast with well-developed limbs," Fors clicked his tongue.

In its berserk state, the giant baboon in front of me has clearly lost its sense of pain. The entire soul beast is a killing machine. Unless you beat it into a state where it can't fight, you can only stall for time until its berserk state ends.

"However, it should be quite easy for me to drag this out until the berserk state ends."

Fors could have simply blasted the giant baboon to smithereens, but he didn't choose to do so. Instead, he waved his hand, and the ground beneath the baboon's feet instantly turned into a mud pit.

"Roar!" It's obviously impossible to restrain the gorilla with just a mud puddle.

However, just as the gorilla was about to step out of the mud pit, it suddenly felt its steps falter. Looking down, it saw that vines and mud tentacles had appeared out of nowhere and entangled it.

Although the tentacles were not large, there were many of them. One tentacles after another spread out from the mud pit and wrapped around the baboon's hands, feet, and neck.

Just as the baboon was about to break free, a golden bolt of lightning suddenly struck it from the sky, causing its body to twitch briefly.

Then the tentacles pulled hard, and with a "boom," the massive twelve-meter-tall body of the King Kong Baboon crashed to the ground.

As the gorilla fell, more tentacles emerged from the mud pit, wrapping around its body and pulling it towards the mud pit.

"roar!"

The gorilla struggled fiercely, but every time it tore off a few vines and soil tentacles, more tentacles would emerge, and lightning would strike from time to time, causing its body to stiffen.

"This..." Tang Wulin, who had just pried himself off the wall, stared dumbfounded at the scene before him. Even before the King Kong baboon entered its berserk state, it had managed to defeat him and Yuanen. Once it entered its berserk state, it became even more unstoppable.

He was still pondering how to survive those agonizing ten minutes. In the blink of an eye, Fors had captured the gorilla.

People are more mad than people.

For the first time, Tang Wulin felt how true that statement was. Fortunately, he wasn't one to dwell on things, so he quickly calmed himself down and went to rejoin his companions.

Then, the group looked at the baboon struggling in the mud and didn't know what to say.

Yuanen Yehui, in particular, felt that she was just there to get free benefits. Although she had contributed to the first few levels, Tang Wulin and the others could have easily overcome those challenges, it would have just taken a little time.

Not to mention they also have Fors, a powerful weapon, so it seems like it doesn't matter whether she's there or not, which is really hard for the strong-willed Yuanen Yehui to accept.

However, she wasn't the type to express her gratitude verbally; instead, she silently remembered it in her heart.

The fourth spirit ring was of paramount importance to her. As for what happened this time, she would definitely make it up to Tang Wulin and the others when the opportunity arose. So she simply watched quietly as the struggling golden baboon continued to thrash about.

The roars of the gorilla grew weaker and weaker. Its low intelligence, after its frenzy, gradually waned, and its body began to shrink. In less than ten minutes, its berserk state was nearing its end.

"Alright, who's going to deliver the final blow?" Fors asked lazily, looking at the now-controlled King Kong baboon.

"I'll do it!" Yuan Enhui said, after all, it was her responsibility.

After saying that, she walked towards the giant baboon that was entangled by tentacles, and at the same time, her body began to expand rapidly.

Third Soul Skill: Vajra Titan.

First Soul Skill: Titan's Power.

Add a second Soul Skill: Air Cannon.

"boom!"

The colorless air cannon blasted the King Kong baboon out of the mud pit. At the same time, Yuan Enhui jumped up and charged down towards the top of the King Kong baboon's head.

The suspense of this battle seems to have vanished.

As the fallen baboon struggled to get up, Yuanen Yehui was already above its head, and his huge, powerful fist swung up and smashed down on its head.

Just then, the giant ape twitched, and its body suddenly shrank by a third. Yuanen Yehui, who had transformed into a Titan Giant Ape, slammed his fist into the ground.

What's going on?

Everyone was taken aback. The giant baboon suddenly straightened up, its head slamming into Yuan En Ye Hui's side.

With a "bang," Yuan Enhui was sent flying.

The King Kong Baboon leaped up, its fists slamming out, aiming straight for Yuan En Ye Hui's vital chest.

No one expected that the seemingly dying King Kong baboon would suddenly erupt at this moment.

How is that possible?

Tang Wulin wanted to help, but it was too late. Everything happened so suddenly; by the time they saw Yuanen Yehui being blasted away, the King Kong Baboon had already given chase.

It wasn't unscathed, but its eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty glint. Had its berserk state not completely ended? Was everything before just a deception? Was it merely a ploy to lure them into a trap?

This is not an unintelligent baboon; on the contrary, it is an anomaly among baboons, a rare being that possesses intelligence.

In her haste, Yuan Enhui could only barely twist her body, attempting to use her fists to block the King Kong baboon's attack. Given her current condition, even if she didn't die from being hit, her arms would likely be broken.

"But it's better than death." That was Yuan Enhui's thought. She still had unfulfilled wishes; how could she just die like that?

However, the next moment, Yuanen Yehui felt herself being pulled up. Yes, at this moment, she released her third soul skill, and her height reached five meters, and she was pulled up.

Then the scene before her changed abruptly. "Boom!" Yuan En Hui turned her head and saw the sound of the Vajra Baboon's fist, which had missed her, landing on the ground. She had been teleported away!

"Who saved me? This teleportation ability—was it Fors? Or Gu Yue?"

Yuan Enhui turned her head and saw a face she never expected. How could it be him? It was Xie Xie!

However, Xie Xie's appearance was completely different from usual. His short brown hair seemed to have grown quite a bit longer, and his dark green eyes had become even more profound. A cold and arrogant aura emanated from him.

"Hmph! It's just a gorilla, how dare it lay a hand on her."

Xie Xie slowly picked up the Shadow Dragon Dagger? No, calling it a dagger is no longer appropriate, because its blade has now lengthened. Rather than a dagger, it's more like a longsword, or even a Tang sword.

Then Xie Xie raised his long sword and slashed it in front of him. The space was as if it were paper, and he easily sliced ​​it open. Then Xie Xie leaped forward and actually appeared directly in front of the King Kong Baboon.

"Roar!" Xie Xie looked at the roaring baboon in front of him with a cold gaze. "A small fry should act like a small fry."

At the same time, the Shadow Dragon Dagger in his hand slashed forward several times, and then the King Kong Baboon's limbs and head disappeared.

"No, that's not right. It's not that it disappeared, this is... spatial teleportation?" Gu Yue, watching from afar, was filled with astonishment.

Xie Xie actually used the Shadow Dragon Dagger to open a spatial channel and teleport the limbs and head of the King Kong Baboon. What was he trying to do? Gu Yue already had a guess in her heart, but it was precisely because of this that she found it hard to believe.

The next moment, the spatial passage that had transported the King Kong Baboon's limbs and head away suddenly closed.

"puff."

Blood splattered everywhere as the baboon's body, now devoid of limbs and head, slammed violently to the ground.

"In the end, he's just a nobody."

After saying that, Xie Xie glanced at Yuan En Ye Hui in the distance, then closed his eyes and collapsed.

"Thank you for the encounter!"
