Chapter 147: Encountering a Fierce Beast

"Dark Devil Netherspace Tiger?"

Alan was puzzled as to how Wang Si knew about the existence of the Dark Devil Netherspace Tiger. But when she recalled how he had guarded the Human-Faced Demon Spiders and eventually obtained the Eight Spider Lance, she decided not to pry further.

Such matters undoubtedly touched upon some of his secrets, and since he didn't want to talk about them, she wouldn't ask.

Ajue quickly disposed of the giant spider, and the years embedded in her Eight Spider Lance deepened.

But the change wasn't limited to the lance; her entire demeanor had shifted.

The originally alluring and enchanting Ajue now exuded a chilling and dangerous aura.

This was likely the influence of the Eight Spider Lance's power.

"Let's go."

After showing off her enhanced weapon to the group, Ajue put it away and gestured for them to continue their journey.

As they ventured deeper, Alan soon located the Dark Devil Netherspace Tiger that Wang Si had mentioned, using her Blue Silver Domain.

Now, to deal with it...

Wang Si didn't even use any hidden weapons. He merely attempted to summon Alan, and in the next moment, she appeared within the "domain" of the Dark Devil Netherspace Tiger.

The ensuing battle was ugly, to say the least, but Wang Si ultimately succeeded in killing the fierce beast.

The Dark Devil Netherspace Tiger was of exceptional quality and thus possessed considerable spiritual intelligence. Consequently, the Soul Skill that Wang Si acquired from it was extremely lackluster.

Despite this, he obtained what he wanted the most—the Devil God Pearl.

It contained a trace of "Devil God" power, and he had initially claimed to be a "Devil God" before Qian Renxue.

Without any "divine power," his deception might have been exposed.

Hence, this Devil God Pearl was of utmost importance to Wang Si. Additionally, the pearl possessed an incredibly overpowered ability: it could break through the dimensional wall of the Douluo Continent and travel to other worlds.

With Zhu Ming's assistance, obtaining the pearl was a sure thing. As for when he would refine it, Wang Si was undecided for the time being.

After all, he didn't need such an item at the moment.

...

Several days later, Wang Si and his group finally arrived at the area Alan had mentioned, which was abundant in Spirit Bones.

Here, they encountered a layer of restrictions.

"Hmm? Why is there an extra layer of restrictions here?"

Alan frowned as she examined the restriction, then took a step forward, intending to touch it.

"Wasn't this here before?"

Wang Si asked casually as he gazed at the numerous Spirit Bones piled up on the other side of the restriction, relieved that this was indeed not the Dragon God's graveyard.

"I only obtained this snippet of memory from A Yin's recollections. I only know that there are quite a few Spirit Bones here, but nothing else," Alan explained, somewhat perplexed herself.

Her hand rested on the restriction, and as she did so, an invisible wave of energy rippled outward from it.

Zhu Ming, the most powerful among them, was the first to sense the anomaly. His martial soul took form!

After merging with the ice and fire powers, Zhu Ming's martial soul hadn't visibly changed, but his strength had certainly not diminished in the slightest.

He raised his hand, and an ice crystal barrier instantly enveloped the group. Layer upon layer of ice swiftly formed, creating a thick shield.

Crack!

The outermost layer of ice shattered as countless dense tree roots lashed against it.

In an instant, the roots sealed off the exit.

Seeing the multitude of roots, Zhu Ming furrowed his brow and decisively took action, unwilling to waste any time.

Countless bizarre black flames blazed fiercely, and the thicket of roots was instantly engulfed in a raging inferno.

Taking advantage of the burning gap in the roots, Zhu Ming and the others rushed out of the cave.

The moment they emerged, Zhu Ming led the group, transforming into several streaks of black light that fled in eight different directions.

The surrounding trees, layered upon each other, began to shift and change rapidly, yet the distance between the eight fleeing figures barely increased in the span of several seconds.

It seemed they had inadvertently entered the domain of a powerful soul beast.

Caught off guard by this sudden turn of events, Ajue and Alan were left bewildered and unsure of what to do next. However, Zhu Ming, accustomed to dealing with unforeseen situations, remained calm and collected in the face of this new development.

He raised his hand and switched his soul rings.

The first, second, and third red soul rings lit up simultaneously.

Boundless black flames instantly climbed up the moving trees, and countless ice swords fell from the sky, slicing through the illusory trees.

Additionally, a gray mist radiated outward from Zhu Ming, enveloping the surrounding area!

Anything that came into contact with the gray mist would instantly ignite in fierce flames—another domain-type skill.

Zhu Ming was used to dealing with unexpected situations, and Wang Si had anticipated this turn of events. To be honest, Wang Si was well aware of what lurked in the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest: a few fierce beasts and a Silver Dragon King.

As for why he remained so calm, aside from wanting to gauge Zhu Ming's true strength, he was also curious to witness the peak power of the soul beast clan.

Furthermore, his gaze remained fixed on Alan, who had been tense from the start.

Sensing Wang Si's stare, Alan's entire body tensed up.

"I have no idea what's going on. I never expected something like this to happen.

All I know from the memories that Ajing gave me is that there are some spirit bones here, nothing more."

Wang Si nodded in response to Alan's words.

As his soul spirit, he had a soul-based control over her, so even if she wanted to deceive him, it was impossible. He was well aware that her memories had been flawed from the beginning.

This was likely Ajing's revenge for his torture of Tang Hao in front of her and for desecrating her body and soul.

As for what the truth really was, it held no significance to Wang Si.

After all, if he wanted to leave, he could do so at any time.

With the release of Zhu Ming's three 100,000-year soul skills, the domain was broken.

The group reappeared in the Star Dou Great Forest, specifically in the area where they had just left the cave.

The raging fires around them continued to burn, and in the distance, a gaunt middle-aged man stared at them intently.

"Humans, how dare you trespass into my territory and attempt to steal my possessions! You shall pay for this transgression with your lives!"

The speaker was none other than the Demon King, one of the fierce beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest and the undisputed ruler of the plant-type soul beasts.

Over a decade ago, when the Blue Silver Emperor left the forest, the Demon King took his place as the forest's new ruler, inheriting all that belonged to the Blue Silver Emperor.

And now, he found himself facing petty thieves who dared to intrude and steal from his collection!
