Douluo Continent: From Internal Martial Arts to the Law of Heaven and Earth

How could the Titan Ape, with only brute force and no skill, withstand Tang Shan's full-body impact? Its thirty-meter-tall body was uncontrollably pushed back, leaving behind enormous footprints.

With his feet planted firmly on the ground, Tang Shan unleashed his power perfectly. His towering body left a huge afterimage as he closed in on the Titan Ape once more. He swept out with one hand, aiming straight for the arm that was clenching its fist, while his other hand reached straight for the Titan Ape's throat.

"How dare you!" Seeing Tang Shan's target on Xiao Wu's baby rabbit, the Titan Ape was furious. It slammed its head down with a hammer to meet the attack aimed at its throat; its free arm blocked Tang Shan's menacing hand, a perfect response.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

What followed was a continuous and dramatic battle of offense and defense. The giant Tang Shan transformed into gave the Titan Ape no chance to breathe, unleashing a barrage of punches, kicks, elbows, head, and knees, like a ruthless killing machine, inflicting heavy blows on its opponent. Moreover, the vast majority of its attacks were aimed directly at the Titan Ape's weak points. Clearly, Tang Shan had discovered Er Ming's fatal weakness.

Although Erming barely withstood the onslaught of attacks with his sturdy body, his mental energy was exhausted to the extreme. Finally, when dealing with Tangshan's finger aimed directly at his eyes, his wrong response caused Tangshan to open his tightly clenched fist.

boom!

The finger aimed directly at the eyes then slammed down, transforming into a palm halfway through its trajectory. All the power in the body naturally gathered, and it struck the empty fist with all its might.

Crackling sounds!

Tang Shan originally thought that the Titan Ape had a fatal weakness in his empty fist, and that opening it would allow him to take it down in one fell swoop. Although this was not the case in the original work, the protagonist of the original work never faced the Titan Ape head-on, right?

But when he opened his fist, he felt a furry thing, and before he could react, a series of cracking sounds came from his bones.

"A rabbit!" With his multi-faceted thinking, Tang Shan saw the creature he had knocked away. Before he could think further, Er Ming, enraged to the extreme and seemingly insane, began a mindless counterattack, letting out a mournful roar as if the rabbit he had knocked away was his child.

Once unsealed, the Titan Ape unleashed its terrifying power as a 100,000-year-old soul beast. The two colossal creatures began a formal and unreserved clash, causing the earth to tremble, rivers to change course, and vast forests to turn into desolation wherever they went!

……

Leaving aside the clash between Tangshan and the Titan Ape, let's shift our focus to the pink and blue rabbit that was casually swatted away.

The power of Tangshan after transforming into a giant was so overwhelming that even the aftershock of slapping away the Titan Giant Ape's palm severely injured this thousand-year-old soul beast, a hybrid of Lightning Rabbit and Soft Bone Rabbit. Its plump body drew a beautiful parabola and crashed into the distance.

"What is that?" Zhao Wuji, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes in confusion as a dark figure fell toward the treetop where they were standing.

"It looks like a mutated thousand-year-old rabbit-type soul beast, severely injured, but its aura is not weak. It should be very suitable for Xiao Wu!" Flander's martial soul is a cat owl, and his eyesight is excellent. He instantly saw what was flying towards him.

A mutated thousand-year-old rabbit-type soul beast! Recalling Erming's strange behavior and sudden anger, a nameless unease and panic filled Xiaowu's heart. She opened her mouth to say something, but it was too late.

“It should be very suitable for Xiao Wu.” Upon hearing Flander’s words, Tang San’s eyes lit up, and his mind raced: This thousand-year-old soul beast was already seriously injured. If it was allowed to fall, it would probably die on its own. Regardless of whether it was suitable for Xiao Wu, he would let Xiao Wu kill it first.

Once the thought was made up, Tang San released his martial soul without hesitation. His first soul skill, Blue Silver Entanglement, was unleashed, and dense vines shot out from his hands, directly grabbing at the plump rabbit that was about to fall in front of him.

The rabbit was right in front of her, and Xiao Wu's senses were clearer than ever before: "It's my bloodline!" The throbbing of blood ties made her heart beat rapidly.

"Xiao Wu, take this!" Tang San's movements were swift and decisive. He flipped his hand and took out a sharp dagger from his storage soul tool, shoving it into Xiao Wu's hand. At the same time, the Blue Silver Grass suddenly retracted, revealing the fat rabbit's neck.

Finally realizing what Tang San was about to do, Xiao Wu instinctively cried out, "Third Brother, no!" But she was too late.

Before Xiao Wu could stop it, the fat rabbit being dragged by the Blue Silver Grass had already slammed its neck straight into the blade. Its fluffy fur did not provide much protection, and the blade pierced through, splattering blood everywhere.

"Xiao Wu, I'm sorry, this soul beast might die if we wait any longer. If you don't think this soul beast is suitable, we can change to another one." Tang San had no idea what he had just done and thought that Xiao Wu was dissatisfied with this soul beast, so he quickly comforted her.

"Xiao San reacted quickly, which is something to learn. Although we shouldn't indiscriminately kill soul beasts, Xiao San's response in this situation was perfectly sound. Since the soul beast was going to die anyway, it's better to let it become nourishment for our advancement than to let it fall to its death. Xiao Wu, is this soul beast a good match for you?"

Flander was also a little confused by Tang San's series of actions, but after regaining his senses, he still praised him without hesitation, quite satisfied with Tang San's ability to adapt to changing circumstances.

Zhao Wuji squatted down, picked up the plump pink-blue rabbit with one hand, studied it for a moment, and nodded in agreement: "This soul beast not only has excellent physical qualities, but also has a certain lightning attribute. It can be considered a high-level soul beast. Xiao Wu, it is indeed very suitable for you."

The conversations of the crowd gradually faded into the distance. Xiao Wu naturally released her grip, and the dagger, stained with the blood of a rabbit-like soul beast, slipped from her hands, passed through layers of branches, and fell into the dust.

Xiao Wu opened her mouth as if to say something, but found that she couldn't make a sound. The continuous rumbling in the distance couldn't distract her at all. She could only stare blankly as light gathered on the pink and blue rabbit, a purple soul ring condensed, and faint soul power fluctuations spread silently...

Chapter 420 The Arrival of the Ancient Moon

Xiao Wu's mind went blank. She still couldn't accept that she had killed her own offspring with her own hands. Even though it was done under Tang San's skillful control, the viscous blood constantly reminded her that she was the ultimate executioner.

"Xiao Wu, are you alright?" Yu Tianheng, being more observant, noticed Xiao Wu's unusual behavior and asked with concern.

Upon hearing Yu Tianheng's words, the others noticed that Xiao Wu's expression seemed a bit off, and they all turned their gazes to her face.

Feeling the gazes fixed on her, Xiao Wu forced a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, I'm fine. I'm just still not used to killing."

If others could tell that she was grieving because of the death of this soul beast, Xiao Wu couldn't guarantee that her identity wouldn't arouse suspicion. Even though she was heartbroken at the moment, she still had to maintain a good mood on the surface and not reveal any flaws.

"Xiao Wu, what do you think of this soul beast? Do you want to absorb its soul ring?" Tang San asked softly, seeing that Xiao Wu's emotions seemed to have calmed down.

Xiao Wu looked at Tang San with complicated emotions, unsure how to face him in the future. Should she hate her third brother? But he had been very good to her, and this time it was only out of desperation; should she let him go? But her third brother had personally caused her to lose her child.

In the end, Xiao Wu chose to forgive Tang San. After all, he was her good brother. He also had his own reasons.

If the thousand-year-old rabbit-like soul beast that Xiao Wu killed had known what Xiao Wu was thinking, I wonder if it would have been so angry that it would have come back to life. What kind of excuse is that? It's utterly ridiculous.

"Third Brother, then I'll absorb this spirit ring." Xiao Wu forced a smile. She knew very well that it was practically impossible for her to absorb a self-generated spirit ring this time, and if she continued to delay, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. Although what she had just experienced had pained her, she had thought it through clearly: rather than being sad, she should fight with all her might for revenge. She had forgiven Tang San, but that didn't mean she could forgive the real culprit.

Gazing at Tang Shan, who was fighting Er Ming, Xiao Wu's eyes were filled with deep-seated hatred and resentment.

"Alright, then we'll protect you." Tang San was naturally unaware that so many thoughts had surged through Xiao Wu's mind in such a short time. Seeing that Xiao Wu agreed to absorb the spirit ring before him, he was very happy and increasingly satisfied with his previous quick thinking.

Tang San manipulated the Blue Silver Grass, connecting it with thick branches to form a sturdy platform. Xiao Wu sat cross-legged on it, gazing one last time at the lifeless spirit beast, then closed her eyes and began to absorb its spirit rings. In her heart, she silently vowed: "My child, rest assured, your mother will avenge you!"

hum!

Not long after Xiao Wu entered a state of cultivation and began absorbing the soul ring, invisible spatial ripples spread out around everyone.

Before they could react, an overwhelming dragon's might emanated from the spatial ripples, as if a supreme ruler was about to appear. Apart from Oscar and Ning Rongrong, who possessed weapon spirits, everyone else unconsciously felt a sense of fear and submission from the depths of their hearts.

The ripples accelerated, and a pair of fair hands reached out from them. With a gentle flick of the wrists, the space, which even a Limit Douluo would find difficult to control perfectly, was easily parted as if it were a curtain.

Emerging from the spatial passage was a silver-haired girl. Her long, shimmering silver hair flowed naturally like the Milky Way, with a faint shimmer among the strands, giving her an ethereal and graceful air. Her equally silver eyes seemed to hold the mysteries of the world, dazzling yet profound, like the flickering of stars, revealing an indifferent detachment that looked down upon all living beings.

Her skin was as white and flawless as jade, her nose was straight and high, and her lips had a natural light pink hue. Her features were exquisitely perfect, making one wonder just how biased the creator god must have been to create such a stunningly beautiful person.

A well-tailored silver-white robe was worn by her, which naturally revealed a sense of authority from a superior, and her aura was calm yet carried an inviolable supreme dignity.

The newcomer was none other than Gu Yue. She used her spiritual power to detect that there were Soul Masters watching the battle not far from the Tangshan battlefield. One of them seemed somewhat familiar to her, so she decided to come and take a look.

So beautiful! Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun walked through Xu Wanhua's flower garden without getting a single petal on them. They had seen all kinds of beauties, but Gu Yue was truly unlike anything they had ever seen before.

In their view, beauty has no fixed standard; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Having seen all kinds of women, they thought they wouldn't be greatly affected by appearance, but what they saw before them completely overturned their understanding.

It turns out that it wasn't that there was no unified standard, but rather that the ones they had seen before simply didn't meet this standard.

"May I ask who you are?" Unlike his three students, Flander didn't have such a carefree mind. Faced with Gu Yue, who descended with terrifying power, he readily chose to bow his head. Whether it was the heartfelt submission of his martial soul's origin or the terrifying fluctuations around the girl before him, which resembled an elemental torrent, they constantly reminded him that one wrong move and he would die!

Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar kept their eyes down, barely daring to breathe. While the three were arrogant, they weren't stupid; they knew perfectly well who they could mess with and who they couldn't.

"I've come to take a look!" Gu Yue's voice was clear and melodious, but devoid of any emotion. She didn't answer Flander's question. After scanning her surroundings for a moment, her gaze finally settled on Xiao Wu, who was sitting cross-legged absorbing her soul ring. The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

At this moment, Gu Yue was no longer the charming woman beside Tang Shan. Now, she was like a supreme deity looking down on a group of ants, exuding immense pressure.

thump!

Unable to withstand the oppressive force emanating from his bloodline any longer, Yu Tianheng's knees buckled, and he collapsed towards the tree. Fortunately, Zhao Wuji reacted quickly, grabbing him by the collar and pulling him to his side.

This unexpected change broke the somewhat stiff atmosphere, and everyone's attention turned to Yu Tianheng, clearly puzzled by his earlier performance.

Yu Tianheng's face was deathly pale, his eyes filled with horror and fear. He looked at Gu Yue, his voice trembling slightly: "You... what is your relationship with Tang Shan? And... and what is your relationship with Gu Yue?"

The last time Yu Tianheng's martial soul was suppressed was when he faced Gu Yue at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but the suppression then was far less thorough than it is this time.

The plain-looking Gu Yue from before and the stunningly beautiful silver-haired woman before them were clearly not the same person. However, since both were able to suppress their own power and both appeared with Tang Shan, it was not surprising to speculate.

Gu Yue still didn't answer Yu Tianheng's question. She merely glanced at him before turning her gaze back to Xiao Wu. Compared to ordinary human soul masters, this transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast interested her more.

Chapter 421 Smashing the Giant Ape

Despite her seemingly calm and aloof demeanor, Gu Yue was actually completely bewildered. She only refrained from showing any disbelief due to the Silver Dragon King's majesty. The main reason for this was that everything she was seeing was so utterly surreal and she couldn't understand the situation at all.

Although she had undergone a transformation and rebirth, the inherent qualities of a deity remained, and coupled with her mastery of the Creation Godhead, she was extremely sensitive to life's opportunities. This allowed Gu Yue to immediately ascertain the relationship between Xiao Wu and the pink and blue rabbit soul beast upon seeing them.

Good heavens, is the Soft Bone Rabbit really that ferocious? Even the golden-haired lion mastiffs, who fight wherever they go, would never kill their own kind. How could a Soft Bone Rabbit be so ruthless to its own direct bloodline and even absorb its spirit ring? Is that reasonable?

Tang San flashed and stood between Xiao Wu and Gu Yue. The silver-haired woman in front of him had a very direct gaze. He would not allow her to harm Xiao Wu. If she really wanted to hurt Xiao Wu, she would have to step over his dead body first.

"Is there anything we can do for you?" Despite being ignored, Flander was not annoyed at all. He still asked Gu Yue politely, being very courteous, to prevent this strongman from annihilating them all at the slightest provocation.

"I just came to keep an eye on you. I hope you won't interfere with the ongoing battle," Gu Yue replied, her concerned gaze turning to the fierce battle raging ahead. If she had only intended to come and take a look before, her vigilance had been heightened ever since she discovered that Tang San, the artificial chosen one of this world, and Xiao Wu, a 100,000-year-old soul beast whose existence had been tampered with by the gods, were in the group. She was wary of any schemes the gods might have against Tang San. To this end, she instructed Xiong Jun and Bi Ji to clean up the mess if Tang San's side fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Human deities, let me see what you're plotting!" Gu Yue's eyes gleamed with a fierce fighting spirit, and the divine essence hidden within her was ready to erupt at any moment. If the human deities made the slightest move, she would fight them to the death without hesitation. Anyone who dared to touch her, the Silver Dragon King's, was courting death!

However, Gu Yue was clearly overthinking it. The mastermind behind Tang San and Xiao Wu had no time to deal with matters in the lower realm at this moment. The transfer of power was an extremely complicated process. The God of Asura was constantly being berated by the God of Destruction, so he had no time to care about Tang San and Xiao Wu.

……

Over there, Gu Yue was poised to strike against a non-existent deity; meanwhile, the battle between Tang Shan and the Titan Ape had entered a fierce stage.

As a super soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape possesses a wide variety of innate abilities, but very few of them are effective against Tang Shan. The only ones that can play a decisive role are its own amplification soul skills and gravity domain soul skills.

As time went on, the battle between the man and the beast gradually became more refined, with every punch landing hard and colliding head-on. Tang Shan activated all of the Golden Lion Mastiff's external soul bone skills—one of which granted immunity to negative effects such as impacts that slowed movement, allowing it to maintain a state of invincibility at all times; the other ensured that its power remained at its peak, unaffected by various negative status effects.

With the help of two overpowered skills, Tangshan's offensive was like an overwhelming wave, and they did not retreat an inch!

Boom boom boom boom boom!

With a ferocious force, the giant fists pounded outwards, shattering the sound barrier and unleashing ear-piercing sonic booms. Twisted shockwaves swept wildly in all directions. The space itself was subjected to violent impacts every moment. The giant fists landed on the Titan Ape's thick fur, the power pouring out fiercely and then transforming in countless ways, leaving deep, gruesome wounds on its body. Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining large areas of the ground and vegetation red.

Roar!

Titan Ape Erming was like a madman, attacking without any strategy, relying solely on a desperate, ruthless ferocity. He had failed to protect his beloved child in front of his beloved, and he felt utterly ashamed. The shame and anger in his heart could only be washed away by the lives and blood of Tangshan.

The thick arm, carrying tremendous force, crashed down on Tangshan. Layers of gravity fields covered the arm, increasing the power of the blow several times over. The space in its path seemed to collapse under the pressure, its power terrifying.

Tang Shan's upper body was already naked, revealing his perfectly sculpted muscles and crisscrossing old and new scars. The strength of the amethyst power was only equivalent to a soul power shield supported by soul power of the same level. It was still extremely fragile in the face of the attack of the 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape. Fortunately, Tang Shan had used it as a set of clothes in the first place and did not expect it to provide much defense.

Tang Shan stood firm, his towering frame, more than ten stories high, withstood the punch head-on. His body trembled slightly, and his newly healed wound reopened, blood trickling down his skin. He stomped the ground and exploded forward, crashing into the Titan Ape's embrace once more. A storm of attacks poured forth, showing no mercy, playing a game of exchanging injury for injury, of risking his life for his life.

It has to be said that this was the most difficult battle Tang Shan had ever experienced since he began cultivating. Even with all his soul skills activated, he still couldn't gain the upper hand. The Titan Palm Bone Technique's immense power constantly swept through the primordial energy of heaven and earth, compressing and condensing it, and pouring it into Tang Shan's body. Tang Shan's strength was constantly rising, but this slight advantage in strength was of little use against the thick-skinned, incredibly powerful Titan Giant Ape.

With his muscles bulging and his tendons and bones taut and gnarled like the roots of an old tree, Tang Shan thrust his palms forward and grabbed Er Ming's shoulders with lightning speed. He unleashed his full power and lifted Er Ming's massive body high into the air.

Ignoring the punches and kicks, letting the attacks explode on his body and leave wounds, Tang Shan's face was cold and hard. His index finger dug into the flesh of the other's shoulder like an iron hook, and then he used his waist to smash down.

Boom!

The earth trembled violently, as if a small, intense earthquake had erupted. The ground collapsed with a deafening roar, sending debris flying everywhere. The Titan Ape's massive body made a powerful and intimate contact with the ground. Thanks to Tang Shan's masterful control of power, the contact was flawless; not a single ounce of power was lost, and the formidable recoil force surged entirely into the Titan Ape's internal organs.

Roar!

"Human, you're courting death!" Erming roared to the sky, vomiting dark red blood involuntarily. His chest and abdomen heaved violently, clearly indicating that his internal organs had suffered serious injuries.

Tang Shan revealed a cruel sneer. He seemed to have found a way to deal with the Titan Ape. Since his attacks were limited in damage, he would let this land be his grave!

A massive beam of destructive light erupted from the Titan Ape's mouth. Tang Shan's imposing body slightly shifted, allowing the beam to slam into his shoulder. His flesh instantly charred and smoked, but he was oblivious. He grabbed the Titan Ape, ignoring the excessive force that reopened his wounds, and twisted his waist violently. All the cells in his body exploded in unison, slamming the Titan Ape against the towering mountain beside him!

Boom!

Rocks shattered and scattered, a tremendous roar reverberating through the mountains and forests. Countless cracks appeared on the mountainside like a spider web. The Titan Ape's entire body was embedded directly into the hard rock wall, leaving a huge human-shaped hole, with rubble rolling down.

Tang Shan, undeterred by his advantage, gripped Er Ming tightly with both hands like iron clamps, slamming him repeatedly against the earth and mountains. Each impact sent up clouds of dust and debris, the powerful recoil relentlessly ravaging Er Ming's internal organs. Eventually, Er Ming seemed to sense his impending doom, his struggles intensifying, his counterattacks against Tang Shan growing ever more frantic. But all his efforts were in vain; Tang Shan's ten fingers remained firmly hooked onto the Titan Ape's shoulders, as secure as ever.
