Spirit Pagoda!
Inside the research lab!
Many researchers clad in white coats excitedly watched the soul beast they had created...
It was a young white tiger in slumber, breathing evenly, its body radiating a crystalline glow, but a careful perception of its breath would reveal it was a soul beast with a lifespan of five thousand years!
Feeling itself being observed, it quickly opened its amber-colored eyes and affectionately licked its paws...
One of the middle-aged researchers couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Hahaha, we've finally done it, successfully created the first soul beast to break through five thousand years of lifespan"
Another, somewhat younger female researcher also couldn't conceal her delight, chiming in, "This is simply great, if this technology could be perfected, all human Soul Masters could even keep soul beasts as pets!"
"Shh, don't talk about such things. It's said that our Pagoda Master seems to have a close connection with the existing ferocious beasts!"
"Mhm, I've heard about that too, but it has nothing to do with us, we shouldn't speculate wildly!"
"Let's not talk about this anymore, based on the breath, this soul beast indeed has a cultivation level of five thousand years, but... why is it still in its youth phase?"
"Perhaps it has to do with the blood sample provided by the Pagoda Master, or maybe it's the blood of those ferocious beasts!"
This mission was a special order from Gu Yuena before she left!
Though the process had its twists and turns, the outcome was good!
Suddenly, another person exclaimed, "Wait a minute... look, hasn't this soul beast grown a bit larger than before!"
In an instant, everyone cast their gazes over...
But they didn't notice anything unusual...
"Hmm? Isn't it the same size as before? There's no change at all!"
"Yeah, could you be having hallucinations?"
"This soul beast has just been created, how could it grow so quickly!"
The previous researcher scratched his head, "Or... maybe I saw it wrong."
Indeed, thinking about it, it's only been a few minutes since it was created, how could its body grow so fast!
Little did they know, as they discussed, the soul beast that was licking its paws had quietly grown larger again...
Feeling tired, it once again fell into a deep sleep...
"Everyone be quiet, now send someone to transport this soul beast to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform right away, we can't allow anything to go wrong with it!"
Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to bear the consequences!
...
The man reluctantly chosen to enter the Ten Thousand Beast Platform looked at the little white tiger in his hands and sighed, "Really now, why do I have to do the transporting!"
Although he had relatively high clearance and wouldn't be attacked by the artificial soul beasts!
But now it was too late for regrets!
He immediately thought, "I remember, every soul beast that's created, after several days in the cultivation chamber, seems to be... taken to the forbidden area."
Right, the forbidden area!
With this thought, he quickly walked towards the defenses of the forbidden area...
...
At this moment, inside the forbidden area!
The bored Titan Ape and Azure Oxpython were currently sparring...
The Titan Ape let out a satisfied roar, "Big brother, let's go again!"
The Azure Oxpython was clearly also in the mood, replying, "Alright!"
Visibly, the Titan Ape pounded its chest ferociously and then charged straight at the Azure Oxpython...
The latter, naturally, was not about to sit and wait for death. The bull's horns burst forth with a "zzt zzt zzt!" of purple arcs, sweeping toward the approaching foe...
The Titan Ape, already possessing a massive divine body and appearing slightly clumsy, could never dodge this attack...
After being touched, it quickly spread throughout the body, and a rich smell of char emerged...
"Ahhh!"
"Big brother, are you serious?!"
The Titan Ape immediately freed itself from the lightning, angrily questioning!
The enormous head of the Azure Oxpython revealed a hint of mockery, "Although it's a sparring session, if I don't use a bit of strength, what's the point? Besides, what's wrong with a brother tutoring a younger one?"
Hearing this, the Titan Ape gnashed its teeth, retorting angrily "Since you put it that way, I won't hold back either!"
"Gravity Domain!"
In an instant, the space where the Azure Oxpython was located had its gravity multiplied several times...
And its massive body was suddenly pinned to the ground...
Seizing the moment, the Titan Ape ran at top speed, causing the whole ground to tremble...
After nearing, it hammered down a fierce punch...
The researchers who just arrived in the forbidden land looked around, puzzled, "Should be around here, right?"
"Boom!!!"
Before he could react, the massive body of the Azure Oxpython was flying towards him, the terrifying impact breaking more than a dozen trees in half...
The man was stunned and fell to the ground with a "plop," exclaiming in shock, "Heavens... an Azure Oxpython? How is this possible! There shouldn't be any ferocious beasts like this constructed within the forbidden land!"
The Azure Oxpython, barely stabilizing itself, also showed an angry look in its eyes...
"Little brother, you..."
The Titan Ape sneered, "Big brother, this is what you said, using a bit of true strength. Otherwise, how could it be called a spar?"
"Good, very good, it looks like you're just itching for a fight!!"
As the words left its mouth, it, too, roared, unleashing its own Domain. Every creature and object within a kilometer was forcibly slowed...
Just like that, the two great Domains collided, creating shockwaves that dimmed the heavens and the earth!
The man caught in the turmoil felt as if the end of the world had come, his vision darkened, and he fainted.
...
Shortly after, the man lying on the ground suddenly woke up from his dream, "Ferocious... ferocious beast!"
The Azure Oxpython, now in human form, asked gently, "Are you alright?"
The man was momentarily stunned, then recounted according to his memory, "Just... just now, I saw an Azure Oxpython and a Titan Ape. They were fighting, and the whole world was trembling!"
The Titan Ape, also in human form, patted his forehead, "You must be out of your mind. This is the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform; how could there be ferocious beasts like the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Ape here!"
The man insisted, "No... no, I really..."
The Azure Oxpython took the fainted soul beast from his hands, dismissing the issue, "Okay, then, you must be responsible for transporting the soul beast, right? We'll take it off your hands."
"As for you, just head back on your own. And another thing, if possible, have Gu Yuena personally transport the soul beast!"
After speaking, it left with the Titan Ape...
Leaving the man sitting there dumbfounded, it took him several minutes to recover...
"I remember, there were indeed an Azure Oxpython and a Titan Ape. Could it be that they are..."
"No, no, no, that's impossible. It must have been a dream after I fainted!"
