Douluo Continent: Steadily Growing Stronger in Shrek Academy

Chapter 257 The Pursuit from the Titan Ape

Lin Chen continued westward, encountering several hundred-year-old or even thousand-year-old soul beasts as soon as he arrived at the mountain. However, none of them could withstand a single move from Lin Chen, who would instantly kill them with a casual strike.

After walking for about half an hour, Lin Chen reached the edge of the cliff.

Gazing at the bottomless cliff, Lin Chen channeled his spiritual energy and probed downwards.

After confirming the depth, Lin Chen jumped down without hesitation.

This place can be considered a dead end. Apart from some soul beasts and other creatures living on the cliffs, there are basically no soul beasts to be seen. The thick fog above the head covers the entire sky. If Lin Chen does not use his spiritual power, he really cannot sense the birds flying overhead.

"This place shouldn't have been extinct back then; it must have changed over the past ten thousand years," Lin Chen deduced.

As he walked, Lin Chen's gaze sharpened. There was a cave on the cliff to his right, and there seemed to be some kind of power inside that resonated with his Nine Kill Sword.

Without a doubt, this must be the same power as the Nine Kill Sword, which is undoubtedly the Seven Kill Sword.

Lin Chen was overjoyed and hurriedly flew towards the cave.

At his current level, Lin Chen rarely uses sword flight anymore, except in specific situations where a certain level of sophistication is required. Sword flight is never as free as flying alone, especially since Lin Chen has now begun to comprehend spatial power and can already walk on air.

Upon entering the cave, a series of sharp sword energies attacked Lin Chen. Undeterred, Lin Chen drew his Nine Kill Sword and unleashed a barrage of sword energies, tearing apart all the previous sword energies.

This sword energy was only at the level of a level 97 Super Douluo, and Lin Chen was naturally able to handle it with his strength.

Clearly, Chen Xin didn't have many tricks up his sleeve at the time. After Lin Chen dispelled the sword energy, he saw a bamboo tube book placed on a rock in front of him.

After taking the bamboo book and scanning it with his spiritual power, Lin Chen disappeared into the cave.

Seeing the distant artillery fire, Lin Chen had no interest in participating and flew straight towards the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

While flying in the sky, a huge rock suddenly came crashing down on Lin Chen from below without any warning.

He raised his hand and unleashed a sword aura that shattered the boulder, revealing the figure behind it.

He was a very robust middle-aged man with short, fine hair like steel needles. He had a dignified appearance; his resolute face was as if sculpted by a knife. His eyes were brownish-yellow, with a faint golden glint. His gray robe could not completely conceal his muscular physique.

The moment that person appeared, an overwhelming pressure swept over us.

Based on his appearance, Lin Chen concluded that this person was undoubtedly Tang Wutong's second father, the Titan Giant Ape.

"He is a Titan Ape, and his strength is already level 98," Qian Renxue reminded him.

"Yes, I know."

However, Lin Chen did not feel any pressure and remained calm.

"You are the sect leader of Haotian Sect, aren't you? I don't recall ever offending you in any way before," Lin Chen said.

Although strength is paramount in the world of Soul Masters, Lin Chen has his own code of conduct. His unconditioned reflexes from Blue Star made him reason with others.

"Hmph, kid, come with me, someone wants to see you!" Titan said without any politeness.

"What if I don't?" Lin Chen asked back.

If the Titan Giant Ape could come, then the person behind it is most likely Tang San.

"Could it be that Tang San sensed my divine status?" Lin Chen wondered to himself.

"It's not up to you!" Titan roared, and nine spirit rings—eight black and one red—appeared simultaneously. The seventh black spirit ring lit up, and a gigantic Titan Ape appeared behind him.

"Martial Soul True Body!" Lin Chen sneered. "You're not qualified to take me away!"

Thus, he also revealed nine spirit rings, three black and six red. The red spirit ring in the seventh position burst out with dazzling light, and the patterns engraved on the Nine Kill Sword appeared on Lin Chen's body with blue spirit power.

"Nine Killings True Form!"

Titan unleashed a punch, the unparalleled power of which caused the air to tremble slightly.

Lin Chen was equally unafraid, wielding his sword to meet Titan's fist head-on.

A violent collision rang out, and Titan staggered backward, his right arm, from which he had thrown the punch, suffered repeated damage to the meridians. He looked at Lin Chen with disbelief.

Lin Chen, with his white hair, shrugged as if nothing had happened and looked at Titan with disdain.

"I know that you sacrificed yourself to Tang San ten thousand years ago and were then resurrected by him. Your cultivation has reached the god level, but today, unless you unseal your cultivation, you will not be my match," Lin Chen said coldly.

"I refuse to believe it! I've lived for ten thousand years and I still can't take down a brat like you!" The fourth spirit ring shone brightly, and a Titan Giant Ape appeared behind Titan. With a swing of Titan's right arm, it threw another punch at Lin Chen.

This is Titan's fourth soul skill, Titan Giant Fist, which increases strength by 15% and deals damage to enemies.

Lin Chen gripped the sword in his right hand, joined the index and middle fingers of his left hand, and concentrated his soul power, instantly creating black holes around the giant Titan Ape.

One after another, the Nine Kill Swords emerged from the black hole. With a thought from Lin Chen, the Nine Kill Swords in the black hole suddenly stabbed towards the giant Titan Ape. Naturally, the huge fist did not land on Lin Chen.

"Gravity Swamp!" Titan, enraged, unleashed his domain.

Lin Chen suddenly felt his body sink; this was really going to get serious.

"Nine Kill Sword Realm, open!"

A layer of blue light emanated from Lin Chen's body, instantly offsetting the effects of the gravity swamp.

The two clashed again in the air, and the enormous sound could be heard even in the distant Tiandou City.

For Titan, Lin Chen's attack power was very troublesome. His sharp sword energy was not only extremely penetrating, but also incredibly sharp. Every time they collided, Titan had to mobilize a large amount of soul power to defend against it. Even so, there were still some places where Titan could not defend.

"Take this!" Lin Chen shouted, and his fifth spirit ring lit up.

Nine thunderbolts rise, a single sword pierces the sky.

Titan crossed his arms in front of his chest to form a defensive stance.

With a single, powerful strike, the Titan was forced to kneel on one knee, and the ground collapsed at a visible speed.

Titan was level 98, while Lin Chen was already level 99. Naturally, Titan couldn't defend against Lin Chen's god-like attack power.

The Nine Kill Sword pierced Titan's shoulder, and blood gushed out continuously.

Titan forcefully gathered his soul power, unleashing a powerful surge of soul power that forcefully blasted Lin Chen away.

Lin Chen wouldn't give his opponent a chance. He immediately formed hand seals, and the Nine Kill Sword slowly appeared above Titan before crashing down.

Titan raised his right arm, but was held back by the pain, so he had to raise his left arm, with three black spirit rings on it, ready to take Lin Chen's Nine Kill Sword head-on.
