Chapter 125: Seizing the Azure Heart Blue Lotus, Soul Beasts Gather!

Yue Guan led Su Yun through the towering giant trees.

The closer they got to the blue light column, the stronger the trembling soul force became.

Even Yue Guan's face was no longer calm, but rather carefully observing their surroundings, guarding against any potential ambush by other soul beasts.

"It seems that some soul beasts here are fleeing outward, Grandpa Chrysanthemum," Su Yun, who possessed the Martial Soul Blue Silver Emperor, naturally also possessed the Blue Silver Domain.

At this moment, even he could perceive that many lower-year soul beasts were moving in the opposite direction.

"The soul pressure there has made these soul beasts feel threatened." Yue Guan lowered his head to scan the group of fleeing soul beasts, then raised his head again, gazing ahead, and spoke lightly, "Perhaps some soul beasts are already vying for the treasure that has just been born."

The higher the age of the soul beast, the higher its intelligence.

Therefore, they also understand the importance of treasures to themselves.

Just like how the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor coveted the territories of the Titan Giant Ape and the Heavenly Azure Bull Python, all for the sake of competing for the spiritual energy of the central lake.

"Roar!"

Yue Guan led Su Yun to fly for a while again when suddenly, a violent roar came from nearby!

Boom!

The sound wave, accompanied by a gale, even uprooted many trees and scattered them into the sky.

Suddenly, the trees in front of Su Yun and Yue Guan disappeared, revealing a scene of soul beasts fighting in front of them.

"That's... Ghost Vines!"

"The Ghost Vine Clan!"

Su Yun widened his eyes. As the saying goes, planting flowers with intention will not bloom, while unintentionally planting will lead to a lush grove. Originally intending to gather some information, he unexpectedly found the territory of the plant-type soul beast, the Ghost Vine Clan, here.

Su Yun thought to himself: Perhaps here, there is the Ghost Vine King's soul ring that has just passed ten thousand years, which he needs.

Glancing to the other side, Su Yun's eyes widened suddenly, almost losing focus for a moment: "Th-Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor?!"

At this moment, Su Yun was completely stunned.

He didn't expect to encounter the Thousand-Armed Ant here!

And looking at the Thousand-Armed Ant in front of him, covered in a layer of dark golden exoskeleton, with a body length that had clearly exceeded three meters.

Undoubtedly, this should be the "evil" Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor that Tang Fozu had killed!

"I remember there were three Thousand-Armed Ant Emperors, but there's one missing?" Su Yun suddenly noticed that the number of Thousand-Armed Ant Emperors was incorrect and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

And at this moment, the Ghost Vine Clan and the two Thousand-Armed Ant Emperors, which had stopped for a round, started again!

Although the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor was a ninety-thousand-year-old soul beast, it was facing the tribe of the Ghost Vine Clan.

The latter was not only a plant-type soul beast but also had an unusually large number.

Although the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor had a hard shell to resist the toxins of the Ghost Vine, the latter's seeds had parasitic abilities.

With the number of seeds growing exponentially, even if the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor had two heads, it would be difficult to handle.

"Su Yun, follow me!"

Just as Su Yun was about to see how these soul beasts would compete, the voice of  Yue Guan suddenly sounded.

Hearing Yue Guan's command, Su Yun didn't dare to linger here. He immediately came to Yue Guan's side.

"There are many ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts nearby, it seems that they are all waiting to watch the battle between the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor and the Ghost Vines, hoping to take advantage of the situation."

While Yue Guan led Su Yun, he flew along the edge. "We must hurry and get that treasure first."

Su Yun naturally agreed with Yue Guan's words.

At the moment, the battle between the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor and the Ghost Vine Clan had attracted the attention of the vast majority of soul beasts.

If they could seize the opportunity, they might be able to take the treasure.

Then, when these soul beasts relaxed their vigilance, they could hunt and obtain their own soul rings.

Yue Guan was, after all, a ninety-sixth level titled Douluo. By relying on the concealment of his aura, he had not been detected by any soul beasts along the way.

And Su Yun relied on the uniqueness of the Blue Silver Emperor to blend his aura with the aura of the Blue Silver Grass in the Star Dou Forest.

That kind of faint scent, which others couldn't detect, but for soul beasts, they could smell it almost every day, was even more suitable for hiding.

As the two approached the blue light column, Yue Guan's figure finally stopped.

Chrysanthemum Lord Yue Guan looked at the scene in front of him and said, "This is the territory of the Ghost Vine Clan."

Standing above, looking at the surrounding cliffs that resembled a basin, countless ghost vines grew on the cliffs.

These ghost vines ranged from ten years to tens of thousands of years old.

In the center of the basin, on the lake, a sacred blue lotus bloomed, revealing sixteen verdant petals, resembling jade, giving people an extremely exquisite feeling.

Especially at the stamen of the blue lotus, there was a tiny blue heart beating slightly, showcasing its uniqueness.

"Healing-grade immortal grass, Lake Heart Blue Lotus... No, Azure Heart Blue Lotus!"

Su Yun determined the value of the lake and the efficacy of the lotus flower in the distance with one glance through the system.

"I didn't expect that within the Ghost Vine Clan, there would be such immortal grass!"

The difference between Azure Heart Blue Lotus and Lake Heart Blue Lotus was just one word, but they were worlds apart.

Lake Heart Blue Lotus was used for healing and could almost heal any injuries, even if bones were exposed, it could heal and restore them to their original state.

It could almost be said to be an invincible healing item.

However, Azure Heart Blue Lotus had an additional function compared to the former, which was to help the user escape death once!

This function was enough to drive all soul masters crazy!

Seeing Yue Guan's covetous gaze at the Azure Heart Blue Lotus, Su Yun immediately said, "Grandpa Chrysanthemum, my soul power level is not high, so it's not easy to attract attention; moreover, my Martial Soul also has the effect of concealing my aura, especially effective against these plant-type soul beasts."

"While there aren't many powerful soul beasts here, you can help me attract attention later, and I'll take the opportunity to snatch the blue lotus."

"What do you think?"

Yue Guan was momentarily stunned by Su Yun's words.

However, when he saw Su Yun's eyes, his doubts vanished.

Having been with this kid for so many years, Yue Guan already knew that Su Yun was a bold and meticulous youngster.

"Alright, I'll go along with what you said, kid."

After nodding, Yue Guan added, "

But you also have to be careful, don't be reckless."

"If there's any trouble halfway, retreat."

"Your life is much more important than a plant!"

Su Yun smiled, "I understand."

Seeing this, Yue Guan didn't waste any more time.

The battle between the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor and the Ghost Vine Clan outside would sooner or later come to an end. He had to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.

Swish!

"Soul Summon!"

"Sixth Soul Skill! Golden Stamen Flowing Xi!"

The battle between the Thousand-Armed Ant Emperor and the Ghost Vine Clan outside would sooner or later come to an end. He had to resolve the battle as quickly as possible.

Swish!

"Soul Summon!"

"Sixth Soul Skill! Golden Stamen Flowing Flower!"

The soul-stirring sound of Yue Guan suddenly rang out in the sky. In the next moment, countless petal-like objects, carrying golden soul threads, shot out from the suspended Chrysanthemum Martial Soul, which was constantly rotating in mid-air!

Instantly, golden petals poured down like a torrential rain onto the Ghost Vine group in the basin below!

"The third soul skill, Aura Barrier!"

Another shout came from Yue Guan's mouth, and the golden soul power instantly wove into a large net, covering the Ghost Vine group below.

Most of the Ghost Vines, who had sensed Yue Guan's terrifying aura, were just about to defend themselves, but their movements were instantly suppressed.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Finally, Yue Guan's sixth soul skill descended right on time.

Thousands of golden petals, like sharp blades, ruthlessly traversed through the Ghost Vine group without mercy.

Wherever they passed, a Ghost Vine was cut into two, giving it no chance to counterattack whatsoever.

For a moment, large swathes of Ghost Vines were caught off guard by Yue Guan, and instantly, most of them were dead or injured.

Countless soul rings rose up, creating a spectacular scene.

However, Su Yun's current task was not to absorb these soul rings but to first obtain the Azure Heart Blue Lotus at the center of the lake.

Seeing that Yue Guan had already taken action, Su Yun immediately summoned the Blue Silver Emperor, deliberately concealing his own aura and trying to blend in with the Blue Silver Grass growing near the Ghost Vines.

Then, Su Yun quietly moved along the edge towards the center of the lake.

Meanwhile, as the battle unfolded on Yue Guan's side, the battle between the Ghost Vine clan and the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors continued.

However, at this moment, in addition to the Ghost Vine clan, there were also several other ten-thousand-year soul beasts of different species present.

They were all soul beasts in the same territory as the Ghost Vine clan, belonging to the same tribe.

Although they were only around fifty to sixty thousand years old and were not opponents of the Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors when fighting alone, if they united, they would be enough to give the latter a hard time.

Moreover, the injuries of the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors were not completely healed, so this time, they didn't gain any advantage on the opponent's territory.

"Brother Three, there are too many of them. It's probably impossible for just the two of us to gain any advantage today." The second brother of the Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors gasped for breath and sent a message to his brother.

The Ghost Vine clan belonged to the Plant-type soul beasts, although they had a small range of activity and couldn't intercept them flexibly.

But they adhered to a characteristic of Plant-type soul beasts.

That is, quantity!

To an alarming extent.

In addition to the Blue Silver Grass, the Ghost Vine, relying on its own seed parasitic effect, could be said to be reproducing like crazy.

Blocking the Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors' path.

Coupled with the Ghost Vine's ability to extend its vines tens of meters long, unless they could forcefully break through today, they were doomed to fail.

"The reinforcements from the other side arrived too quickly. Unless Big Brother is here, the two of us indeed cannot deal with them." The third brother of the Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors nodded.

Seeing more and more soul beasts on the opposite side, the Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors had already planned to leave first.

However, just as they were about to leave, a terrifying soul power fluctuation suddenly emanated from behind the Ghost Vine clan!

That was the base camp of the Ghost Vine clan!

"What's going on?!"

The two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors suddenly raised their heads, locking onto the distance.

They saw a tiny golden light near the green light pillar, seemingly shooting something downwards.

However, although they didn't know what it was, the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors were sure that it was definitely not a good thing.

Apart from the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors, the soul beasts of the Ghost Vine clan and other soul beasts also noticed the anomaly and immediately began to retreat!

And the news was sent to the rear.

"Let's go too."

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ghost Vine clan's soul beasts were no longer paying attention to them, the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors immediately changed their original plan to leave.

For them, this unexpected turn of events might be an opportunity for them.

However, before catching up, the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors glanced at each other and roared at the surroundings at the same time, directly scaring away some soul beasts hiding in the dark!

These soul beasts had just stepped into the ten-thousand-year level and dared to come forward, truly not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth.

However, to prevent being affected, the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors still scared away all these soul beasts first, then vibrated their wings and quickly flew towards the rear.

Su Yun, relying on the disguise of the Blue Silver Domain, came to the center of the lake effortlessly and easily took the Azure Heart Blue Lotus.

Immediately, the towering green light pillar that had soared into the sky disappeared instantly.

After storing the Azure Heart Blue Lotus in the soul guide device, Su Yun immediately attracted the attention of some soul beasts nearby.

They all attacked Su Yun one after another.

Countless vines flew towards him.

"A thousand-year soul beast is of no use to me."

Su Yun smiled, and then the Blue Silver Emperor's martial soul was released without reservation, instantly emitting the noble emperor's aura of the Blue Silver Emperor.

The Ghost Vines, which had been menacing towards Su Yun, directly became wilted as soon as they sensed the aura of the Blue Silver Emperor, losing their combat effectiveness.

However, Su Yun's Blue Silver Emperor was effective against thousand-year soul beasts but not particularly significant against ten-thousand-year-level soul beasts.

Seeing their juniors being easily dealt with by Su Yun, the few remaining ten-thousand-year Ghost King Vines around were naturally unwilling to let Su Yun leave with the Azure Heart Blue Lotus like this.

So, they immediately launched an attack on Su Yun.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, just as they harbored a desire to attack Su Yun, the next second, Chrysanthemumdou Luo's attack immediately struck at them.

Boom!

Around the lake, countless ten-thousand-year Ghost King Vines were slaughtered clean in just a few breaths by Chrysanthemumdou Luo.

Then, Chrysanthemumdou Luo Yue Guan appeared next to Su Yun and said, "Su Yun, time is running out."

"I sense a strong soul power fluctuation coming towards us. Those soul beasts must have noticed my attack."

"We have to leave first; we'll talk about the soul rings later."

Su Yun also didn't hesitate, nodding, "Alright."

But just as Su Yun's voice fell, countless dark shadows suddenly flew out of the forest of Ghost Vines like locusts!

Ten-thousand-year Phantom Dark Wolf pack.

Ten-thousand-year Ghost Tiger group.

Ten-thousand-year Phoenix-tailed Chicken-headed Snake.

...

For a moment, several soul beast groups appeared in the entire basin.

In each of these groups, there were soul beasts with an age of

over fifty thousand years and possessing extraordinary combat power!

Swish! Swish!

The next second, the two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors also arrived.

As soon as they arrived, they immediately locked onto Yue Guan and Su Yun, who were standing in the air above the golden chrysanthemum, far away.

Noticing the disappearance of the green light pillar, the clever two Ten Thousand Armed Ant Emperors immediately realized that the thing had been taken away by the two human soul masters in front of them.

They were about to take action before other soul beasts to capture Su Yun and Yue Guan.

However, the next second, a terrifying soul power fluctuation resounded like a rumbling sound, followed by a gigantic figure appearing in front of everyone like a mountain.

Accompanied by the terrifying soul power fluctuation and the awe-inspiring figure, the soul beasts present and Yue Guan in the distance were all stunned!

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast! Titan Ape!
