Peerless Tang Sect: God Emperor Haotian

As a transmigrator, and knowing full well his exceptional talent, Ye Sen naturally wouldn't lower his standards. He wouldn't compromise on something as important as acquiring spirit rings, not even for the first spirit ring, which offers the least improvement to a spirit master.

As time passed, the light in the forest dimmed, and a day quietly went by. Although he encountered a few soul beasts whose attributes were somewhat suitable for Ye Sen, he ultimately rejected them all because they weren't truly perfect.

Li Mu placed all his hopes on Ye Sen and naturally attached great importance to the latter's future. Therefore, he did not show any impatience with Ye Sen's pickiness at this moment and decided to look for more options according to Ye Sen's wishes.

The following morning, they returned empty-handed again, but things finally took a turn for the better in the afternoon when bloodstains suddenly appeared on the ground and caught their attention.

"This guy is still alive and can move after bleeding so much. It must be a remarkable soul beast." Li Mu observed the ground in front of him for a while before saying.

Ye Sen suggested, "Grandpa Dean, why don't we go and take a look?"

Upon hearing this, Li Mu did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

Then, the three of them followed the trail of blood on the ground and soon caught up with their target.

Ye Sen and Li Mu were both startled when they saw the soul beast sitting against the tree trunk not far away.

It was a giant gorilla, completely black, with an extremely robust body covered in granite-like muscles and crystal-yellow eyes. Even when sitting, it was no shorter than an ordinary adult, and when standing up, it was probably over four meters tall.

"Titan Ape!"

After realizing what was happening, Li Mu gasped in shock.

"really!"

Li Mu's sudden words confirmed Ye Sen's guess. Just now, he felt that the characteristics of the soul beast in front of him were very similar to the legendary king of the forest, the Titan Giant Ape. Reality proved that he was right.

After his conjecture was confirmed, Ye Sen was immediately shaken.

The Titan Ape, known as the King of the Forest, is a super soul beast whose species is no less powerful than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, possessing near-maximum strength attributes. Judging solely from its attributes, it's a perfect match for his Clear Sky Hammer martial soul.

At this thought, Ye Sen couldn't help but wonder if he could turn the other party into his own soul ring.

He quickly noticed that the Titan ape in front of him was far too small, clearly not very old. Compared to the Titan ape Erming who had just appeared, it was like the difference between an adult and a three-year-old child.

Ye Sen immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Grandpa Dean, can you tell how old this Titan Ape is?"

Li Mu snapped out of his shock. He wasn't stupid; he naturally understood Ye Sen's meaning. He couldn't help but retort, "You've got quite the appetite, daring to set your sights on a soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape. You..."

Ye Sen interrupted, "Grandpa Dean, I've read about this kind of soul beast in books. The Titan Giant Ape's attributes are very suitable for my Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul. This is an opportunity we can't miss!"

Li Mu paused for a moment, then glanced at the Titan Ape again, a strange light appearing in his eyes: "This Titan Ape is too small; it probably doesn't even have a thousand years of cultivation. In my opinion, it's at most four or five hundred years old. And judging from its appearance, it's seriously injured. If we really fight, it's not without a chance."

Upon hearing this, Ye Sen immediately looked at Li Mu with pleading eyes.

The hesitation in Li Mu's eyes lasted only a moment before he wiped it away. After taking a deep breath, he said, "I really can't do anything with you, kid. I'll give it a try. I won't have time to look after you while I'm dealing with the Titan Giant Ape. You guys stay here and don't get close. Be careful not to get ambushed by other soul beasts."

"it is good."

Ye Sen nodded quickly, filled with gratitude.

At the same time, Li Mu also walked out carrying the Thunder Hammer.

The Titan Ape was indeed in very poor condition, and its presence was only discovered when Li Mu took the initiative to show himself.

Upon seeing a human swaggering in front of it, a look of wariness immediately appeared in its crystal-yellow eyes, and it struggled to get up.

"Martial Soul Possession!"

A low shout rang out, and Li Mu's body immediately began to change, clearly indicating that his martial soul was a beast martial soul.

After the martial spirit possessed him, his body rapidly grew taller and expanded, covered by solid muscles, especially his back, which bulged high and appeared extremely heavy.

The protruding bones on both sides of the forehead transformed into a pair of curved bull horns, while the eyes turned blue, which was the Giant Horned Bull Martial Soul.

The five soul rings—three yellow and two purple—immediately rose and spiraled upwards.

The best-aged spirit rings are usually only available to the direct core descendants of powerful forces. As an ordinary spirit master, Li Mu's spirit ring configuration is already quite good.

With his martial spirit infused, Li Mu was clearly giving it his all, immediately charging towards the Titan Giant Ape with his warhammer.

Ye Sen and Jiang Nannan hid in a clump of grass, watching the scene through the gaps between the blades.

"Brother, do you think Grandpa Dean can beat this soul beast?" Jiang Nannan asked in a low voice.

"There's a chance," Ye Sen replied after a moment's thought.

Although the Titan Giant Ape is a soul beast with a super bloodline, its age is limited. If it had a thousand years of cultivation, Li Mu would have no choice but to go around it.

The Titan Giant Ape in front of him only has about 500 years of cultivation, and it was clearly severely injured by other soul beasts, so its combat power should be almost gone. From this point of view, Li Mu obviously has a good chance.

It was precisely because Ye Sen understood this that he made such a request. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Li Mu to go and die.

While Ye Sen was thinking this, Li Mu was also engaged in battle with the Titan Giant Ape.

Age equals experience, and Li Mu clearly knew how to deal with a powerful close-combat soul beast like the Titan Giant Ape.

As he lunged forward, a metallic "crack" sound rang out in front of his chest. The sudden bulge tore through his clothes, revealing a cannon barrel a foot long and as thick as a fist.

Light gathered at the muzzle, and then a silver energy projectile was fired.

"boom!"

With a loud explosion, silver lightning flashed wildly, causing the Titan Ape to stand still and twitch uncontrollably.

Normally, a lightning strike of this magnitude might not have affected it, but at this moment it was severely injured, with multiple deep wounds that exposed bone. These wounds immediately became the entry points for attack.

"First Soul Skill, the Power of the Wild Bull!"

"The second soul skill, Control of the Barbarian Bull!"

"Fifth Soul Skill, Wrath of the Wild Bull!"

With all three soul skills activated simultaneously, Li Mu's body, after being possessed by his martial soul, swelled up again, almost no less than that of a Titan Giant Ape standing upright.

With a single hammer blow, lightning flashed, instantly blasting the Titan Ape away.

"There's hope! It looks like we've got this in the bag now." Ye Sen was overjoyed when he saw this.

As Ye Sen had anticipated, the Titan Giant Ape, already severely injured, quickly lost all ability to resist under Li Mu's combined attacks from both near and far.
