Douluo: Starting with the Signing in of Goddess Xiaowu

"I'll go alone!" Chu Qin said.

"I'm coming with you!" Xiaowu shook her head, saying resolutely.

"Alright then!" Chu Qin nodded.

"Brother Chu Qin, I want to go too!" Long Qianqian spoke up, "Brother Chu Qin, what I mean is, my abilities might be able to help you somehow!"

"Chu Qin, then I'll also join you," Bi Bidong said, "You alone, taking care of two people, might miss something."

"Okay!" Chu Qin nodded, "Remember, besides looking for the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, also look for traces of Yan Mei! As soon as there's any news, contact me immediately with the communicator soul tool I gave you."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, all the women dispersed.

Chu Qin, Xiaowu, Bi Bidong, and Long Qianqian headed east.

The Aquipeia Forest was vast, and searching here for two soul beasts and one person's whereabouts was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Otherwise, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts would have long been hunted down.

However, with Chu Qin and Bi Bidong both activating their mental sensing abilities, the search pace was quite fast.

Soon, Chu Qin and his companions arrived at the lair of the Titan Ape and the Azure Oxpython, the Lake of Life.

They could see that the Lake of Life was now dyed red with blood, turning it into a blood lake.

"Chu Qin, what on earth has happened in the Aquipeia Forest? How could this be?" Xiaowu's eyes reddened as she spoke. Her two brothers were missing, and seeing her once home turned into a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, how could Xiaowu not be heartbroken?

Chu Qin shook his head, "For now, I do not know. However, I suspect it has something to do with Di Tian."

"Di Tian!" Xiaowu and Bi Bidong exclaimed in unison.

"Chu Qin, is Di Tian the Black Dragon King whose strength is only second to Gu Yuena?" Bi Bidong asked, "I once heard Zi Ji and the others talk about it. They said the Black Dragon King is an eighty-hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

"Yes, Di Tian was framed by Bear Lord and the others in the past and eventually offended me, only to be locked up by Yue Na in the Black Dragon Cave. Now with Yue Na not in the Aquipeia Forest, it's very likely that it took this opportunity to come out!" Chu Qin analyzed.

"Back then, I really should have killed him!" Chu Qin added.

"If it really is that eighty-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, then the odds for Xiaowu's two brothers do not look good," Bi Bidong sighed.

"Chu Qin, I think I heard Er Ming's voice!" Just then, Xiaowu suddenly shouted.

"Hmm?" Chu Qin was slightly startled, "Er Ming, where?"

"I don't know, but I think I heard Er Ming's voice; it must be nearby!" Xiaowu replied.

Chu Qin and Bi Bidong were both surprised. Their mental detections had been ongoing and had not found any trace of soul beast presence.

"Xiaowu, are you sure?" Bi Bidong asked, "Neither Chu Qin nor I have detected anything."

"I'm sure!" Xiaowu nodded, speaking nervously, "It's definitely Er Ming's voice, it's calling to me."

Chu Qin's brow furrowed slightly, then he had a sudden realization, "Could it be…"

At that thought, beneath Chu Qin's feet, rose gold, gold, golden soul rings lit up, followed by the flashing of the eighth soul ring of the Skydream Ice Silkworm, "Eighth soul skill—Nightmare Space!"

As Chu Qin's soul rings shone, the entire space around the Lake of Life dimmed.

Next, an astonishing sight unfolded before everyone, as a black hole appeared in the center of the Lake of Life.

"Chu Qin!" Bi Bidong and Xiaowu shouted at the same time.

Chu Qin immediately gathered his Soul Power and tore open the entrance to the black hole.

In the instant the black hole was torn open, a massive beastly shadow flew out from it, falling towards the surface of the lake.

The beastly shadow, covered in lava-like stone, took the shape of an ape—it was indeed the Titan Ape.

"Er Ming!" Xiaowu cried out in both surprise and worry.

Upon seeing this, Chu Qin immediately leaped into the air and lifted the body of the Titan Ape with both hands. Chu Qin's palms, which could easily lift the one-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-jin Sea God's Trident, naturally had no trouble lifting the Titan Ape before him.

Chu Qin set the Titan Ape down on the shore.

It was evident that the Titan Ape's body was covered with wounds, with cuts and bruises from blades or trampling everywhere.

"Er Ming, what happened to you!" Xiaowu burst into tears, saying sorrowfully.

"Dragon's Blessing!" Without hesitation, Chu Qin began the Dragon's Blessing. Normally, with his healing powers, Chu Qin could easily rescue someone on the brink of death, but the Titan Ape was just too large, and the wounds were not fresh. They had been inflicted some time ago and had turned into poison, which had entered its body.

As a result, even under Chu Qin's healing, only part of the Titan Ape's external injuries improved. It remained extremely weak, hanging on by a thread.

"Er Ming, who did this to you, who hurt you like this!" Xiaowu said as she stroked the Titan Ape's massive cheek.

"Little Dance Sister... Brother Chu Qin!" the Titan Ape woke up, looking at Xiaowu and Chu Qin, and said in an extremely weak voice.

"Er Ming, don't talk too much, what exactly happened!" Chu Qin asked.

"It was... the Black Dragon!" said the Titan Ape, "He gathered soul beasts against Da Ming's and my rule, he also injured me, and sealed me... in his Black Dragon Space!"

"What about Da Ming?" Xiaowu hurriedly asked.

"Da Ming... I don't know," the Titan Ape shook his head, "Da Ming and I were separated."

"Little Dance Sister... you must save Da Ming!" the Titan Ape added.

"Er Ming, I have already told Bi Ji and Xiao Jiu to come over, hold on!" Chu Qin said.

"No, I... can't hold on any longer!" the Titan Ape shook his head, "I have been using my Soul Power to seal the toxins inside my body. Just now, I used the last of my Soul Power to call out to Little Dance Sister. Now the poison has reached my heart, so I apologize that I can't accompany you anymore. Brother Chu Qin, please take good care of Little Dance Sister for me!"

"Er Ming!" Xiaowu laid on the Titan Ape's face, crying uncontrollably.

"Chu Qin, please, save Er Ming!" Xiaowu pleaded with Chu Qin through her tears.

"Xiaowu..." Seeing Xiaowu crying so hard, Chu Qin really didn't want to say that he was powerless to help.

"Er Ming, it's impossible to save you now!" Chu Qin replied, "Now, there's only one way. Er Ming, sacrifice yourself to become Dong'er's Soul Ring. That way, when Dong'er or I break through humanity's limits someday, there will definitely be a way to bring you back to life!"

"Dong'er Sister!" Upon hearing this, Xiaowu immediately looked towards Bi Bidong.

"No problem, I can help Er Ming," Bi Bidong nodded. She was also very sad.

"Er Ming, then you must sacrifice quickly!" Xiaowu urged loudly.

"Okay!" the Titan Ape replied, "Little Dance Sister, wait for me!"

"I will definitely wait for you. And I believe in Chu Qin, he will be able to bring you back to life!" Saying this, she threw herself into Chu Qin's arms, pressing her head against his chest, closing her eyes, not willing to see Er Ming burning himself.

Chu Qin immediately hugged Xiaowu's waist and the back of her head.

At the same time, the Titan Ape's body began to burn intensely, and after a heart-wrenching cry, it turned into a red light.

Bi Bidong sat down cross-legged, summoning her second Martial Soul and accepting the sacrifice from the Titan Ape.

Hearing the sound of Er Ming's sacrifice, Xiaowu once again couldn't restrain herself, her fingers clutching tightly around Chu Qin's flesh, piercing into it.

Feeling the intense pain in Xiaowu's heart, Chu Qin was filled with pain and boundless anger.

If he didn't kill Di Tian, he swore he wouldn't be human!

Long Qianqian saw Chu Qin's sorrowful figure and turned her head away, tears streaming down her face.

The sacrifice lasted a full ten minutes.
