"Oh? Are you sure you want to make a move against us?" The Demon Empress's red lips curled slightly, carrying a hint of mockery.
When her gaze swept over the crowd present, it carried undisguised contempt.
Everyone present immediately fell into silence.
The Holy Spirit Cult was divided into one Empress, two Emperors, and four Heavenly Kings.
Now that their top combat power had gathered here, if they started a battle rashly, no one could guarantee they would escape unscathed.
After all, Evil Soul Masters had sinister and cunning methods; no one knew what poisonous backup plans they were hiding.
"Sister, we haven't seen each other in a long time."
A bewitching voice sounded. Dark Phoenix Leng Yulai slowly walked out from behind the Demon Empress.
She looked at Heavenly Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu with burning eyes, a faint smile on the corners of her mouth.
"Yulai, you still dare to appear before me?" Leng Yaozhu's eyes turned cold.
The temperature around her body suddenly rose, and a scorching aura filled the air.
"Oh? Is Sister going to kill me?"
Leng Yulai chuckled lightly, her tone carrying a few points of provocation, "So many years have passed, Sister is still so heartless."
Hearing this, Leng Yaozhu fell into silence.
The grievances and love-hate between sisters seemed exceptionally complicated at this moment.
"Our goal is the depths of the Great Star Dou Forest; why fight internally here?"
Spirit Pagoda Master Qiangu Dongfeng slowly spoke, breaking the awkward silence.
Hearing this, the experts of other factions nodded one after another. To start a full-scale war with the Holy Spirit Cult before understanding the situation was indeed not a wise move.
"Yun Ming, Demon Empress, what are your opinions?" Qiangu Dongfeng looked at one of the most authoritative experts present.
The Demon Empress chuckled lightly: "This Empress naturally has no opinion; I just don't know if the dignified Atlas Douluo has the courage?"
"Brother Ming..."
Ya Li called softly, worry in her eyes.
"It's fine."
Yun Ming gently held Ya Li's hand, looking at the Demon Empress with a calm face, "I naturally have no opinion either."
He swept his gaze across the field, his voice peaceful yet carrying unquestionable authority: "Since all parties have gathered here, why not go to the depths of the Star Dou Forest together?"
"Humans, do you think we don't exist?"
Xiong Jun roared angrily, interrupting Yun Ming.
Among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, besides the Beast God Di Tian, the sacrificed Ice Sky Snow Woman Snow Empress, and the dead Evil Eye Tyrant Lord Evil Emperor.
The Dark Golden Terror Claw Bear's combat power was the first!
"Xiong Jun, just the few of you want to block us?" Yun Ming spoke calmly, yet there was invisible pressure in his tone.
Xiong Jun and the other fierce beasts immediately fell silent.
With Yun Ming's strength, plus the other human experts, they fundamentally couldn't stop them.
"If you want to enter the Great Star Dou Forest, then step over my corpse first." Xiong Jun suddenly said righteously, his voice loud and firm.
As soon as the voice fell, not only was the human camp stunned, but even the soul beast camp fell into an eerie silence.
Myriad Demon King looked at Xiong Jun in surprise; how did he not know Xiong Jun was this kind of bear?
It was known that back when Xiong Jun challenged Di Tian and took a hit of the Dragon God Claw, he quickly admitted defeat and bowed down as a subject.
How did he suddenly change his nature today?
The current Xiong Jun made the beasts feel very unfamiliar.
At this time, Myriad Demon King noticed Xiong Jun was winking at them, hinting.
Immediately understanding, the beasts reacted one after another; this blind bear was showing loyalty to the Lords!
"Good, good, good, Xiong Jun is right!"
Myriad Demon King immediately echoed, "You humans want to step into the Great Star Dou Forest; first step over our corpses!"
"Correct! We vow to defend the Great Star Dou Forest to the death!" Scarlet King's three heads roared simultaneously.
The remaining fierce beasts also expressed their stance one after another; for a time, the soul beast camp was excited, as if they really wanted to fight to the death with the human race.
In the shadows, Fang Yang and Gu Yue looked at each other, a trace of helplessness flashing in their eyes.
"This big dumb bear has actually become smarter," Fang Yang said softly.
"Indeed."
Gu Yue nodded, "Should we make a move now?"
"Not yet; the true enemy comes from above."
Fang Yang looked up at the sky, a trace of depth flashing in his eyes.
He thought secretly: When Tang Hao wakes up, he will discover Ah Yin is no longer there, right?
The human camp fell into silence again. Did these fierce beasts have some kind of problem?
Just now they looked unwilling to start a war, now they suddenly became so tough?
"Oh? Could it be that one..." The Demon Empress's heart moved, thinking of something.
She had once heard her husband say that the Great Star Dou Forest had the true foundation of the soul beast race.
That was the King of the Soul Beast Race, the Soul Beast Common Lord!
As for the Beast God Di Tian, he was just the king on the surface.
A trace of surprise flashed in Yun Ming's eyes.
He exchanged a glance with Ya Li; both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
Qiangu Dongfeng frowned tightly, obviously realizing things were not simple.
The Spirit Pagoda dealt with soul beasts the most and had the deepest understanding of the Great Star Dou Forest; he naturally knew there must be something fishy behind these fierce beasts' abnormal behavior.
Just as all factions had their own thoughts, strong energy fluctuations came from the depths of the Great Star Dou Forest again.
"No, we cannot let Di Tian become a God!" Chen Xinjie suddenly spoke.
"Correct, soul beasts are not allowed to become Gods!"
Qiangu Dongfeng immediately echoed.
The rest of the crowd nodded one after another. If a God-level expert appeared in the soul beast race, it would definitely break the existing pattern of the continent.
"Since you insist on blocking, don't blame us for being ruthless."
Yun Ming slowly raised his hand; the Atlas Divine Spear appeared in his hand, powerful aura sweeping across the field.
"This..."
Xiong Jun was currently immensely panicked. Facing not one expert, but a group of experts.
Even if he showed loyalty, he couldn't withstand the strength gap!
The other beasts also felt unprecedented pressure.
"Subordinate requests the Lords to make a move!" Xiong Jun quickly spoke.
"Sigh..."
A light sigh came from the depths of the forest; Fang Yang and Gu Yue, wearing black robes, slowly appeared.
Their auras were converged, yet they gave people a feeling of unfathomable depth.
"Who are you?" Chen Xinjie asked heavily.
"I've never hidden my name nor will I change it, Li Feiyu." Fang Yang spoke lightly.
It was still that sentence; when going out in the world, identity is given by oneself.
As for why not use the name Gu Yue Fang Yuan, naturally because it was already used last time.
"Pretending to be gods and ghosts!"
Qiangu Dongfeng sneered, vibrating the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand, turning into a beam of golden light rushing straight over.
Fang Yang didn't dodge or avoid, just lightly raising his right hand.
The next moment, a shocking scene occurred.
Qiangu Dongfeng's unstoppable attack actually stopped abruptly three feet in front of Fang Yang, unable to advance another inch!
"What?"
Everyone present changed color without exception.
Qiangu Dongfeng was a Level 99 Limit Douluo; his full-power attack was actually blocked so casually?
Gu Yue's black eyes swept across the field: "If you gentlemen insist on forcing your way through, don't blame us for being ruthless."
Her right hand turned into a silver dragon claw; seemingly simple attack, yet it contained a pressure that made one's heart tremble.
"Not good!"
Qiangu Dongfeng's face changed drastically; he cleared his throat and shouted: "Qiangu World Suppressing!"
Instantly a complete set of Four-Word Battle Armor attached to his body; the aura around his body surged violently.
However, as the Dragon God Claw fell, Qiangu Dongfeng instantly flew backward, spitting out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Only to see on the Four-Word Battle Armor on his chest, five deep claw marks were clearly left; this top-level Battle Armor was actually torn apart in one hit!
"This..."
The crowd fell silent one after another, looking at Gu Yue with eyes full of horror.
To be able to heavily injure a Limit Douluo wearing Four-Word Battle Armor in one hit; this level of strength had exceeded their scope of cognition.
Even top experts like Yun Ming and the Demon Empress couldn't help but become solemn in expression.
Gu Yue slowly withdrew her dragon claw, voice ice-cold: "Now, does anyone still want to force their way through?"
Her gaze swept across the field; every expert she looked at involuntarily stepped back half a step.
At this moment, the Great Star Dou Forest fell into a deathly silence...
