Chapter 508: with translation of chapter title

Is it settled, Xiong Jun?

Thus: 【1】 "Is it taken care of, Xiong Jun?"

One of the black-clad men asked the other, more burly one.

The air still retained the sharp aura left by the tearing claws; an ordinary person merely standing here would feel a pang of pain.

Not far away lay the soul engine train, completely reduced to a wreck, its twisted metal shell narrating its miserable fate.

The black-clad man called Xiong Jun sniffed, then spoke in a low voice:

"No, there's no smell of blood; they're fine."

This soul engine train was carrying over a thousand people.

Normally, with so many dead, there should immediately be a strong smell of blood.

At least Xiong Jun wouldn't fail to notice it.

The black-clad man felt somewhat incredulous.

"In other words, they rescued the people?"

Xiong Jun's strike took less than half a second; who could save that many people in such a short time? This is nearly impossible.

But the next moment, a voice sounded beside them.

"You guessed wrong; that strike was merely nullified."

Xiong Jun and the black-clad man were instantly shocked; just as they were about to act, a sharp pain struck their chests, and two dragon claws pierced through from left and right.

「！」 => "\"! \"" We'll translate: "\"! \"" (just an exclamation mark inside quotes). Actually original line is just 「！」 which is an exclamation inside quotes. We'll output: "\"! \"" (including quotes). Or maybe just "!"? We'll keep quotes.

Fortunately, their reactions were timely enough; they barely avoided vital points and desperately put distance between themselves and Tang Wulin.

At this moment, looking again at the soul engine train that should have been damaged, they were astonished to find it had somehow been restored to its original state, except the lower half was frozen in ice, unable to move forward any further.

Huo Yutong stood with the Ice and Snow Emperors behind her, sitting on the train's cab and coldly observing them.

At the critical moment just now, Huo Yutong blocked this strike with the Fate Illusion Ornament.

As for what Xiong Jun and the black-clad man saw afterward, it was all merely an illusion created by the Mental Detection Sharing domain, facilitating Tang Wulin's sneak attack on these two foes.

Now, with the help of her Mental Detection Sharing, the passengers have understood the situation; they all remain inside the soul engine train, afraid to leave, and she protects these travelers.

Tang Wulin did not rush to pursue the two black-clad men, but instead, thoughtfully, asked them: "You're called Xiong Jun, right? That Xiong Jun among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts? And you—are you also a ferocious beast?"

Just now, while hiding in another space, he had merely wanted to hear any useful information, and indeed he heard the title "Xiong Jun".

As an outstanding student of Shilake Academy, Tang Wulin naturally would not be unaware of the meaning of the title "Xiong Jun".

In this world, only one being can bear the title "Xiong Jun" and possess Limit Douluo-level strength.

That is one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, the current strongest Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear, whose king had already reached a cultivation of 470,000 years ten thousand years ago.

He had wondered whether Gu Yue would summon a Limit Douluo-level expert, but he never expected that her single call would bring two, and one of them was Xiong Jun.

If Xiong Jun had come, then perhaps the other one was also a ferocious beast?

The other party gave the answer.

These two attackers had no intention of answering Tang Wulin's question; they launched an attack directly.

Xiong Jun raised his claws high, dark gold light flickering upon them, preparing to strike down at Tang Wulin once more.

The other black-clad man raised his hand, and thousands of vines shot from his body, winding toward Tang Wulin.

"Vines, together with Xiong Jun… Myriad Monster King!"

Tang Wulin suddenly realized.

In the next instant, he suddenly vanished from his spot, evading the Myriad Monster King's entanglement, appeared before Xiong Jun, and seized his wrist.

"Since you've revealed your identities, you're useless; you might as well hurry up and die."

"Since you've revealed your identities, you're useless; you might as well hurry up and die."

「！」 => "\"! \"" We'll translate: "\"! \""

Xiong Jun instinctively tried to resist, but discovered Tang Wulin's strength was terrifying; he could not break free from his grip.

In a panic, he quickly thrust out his other palm, the dark gold claws flashing, nearly tearing Tang Wulin apart.

But immediately, Xiong Jun's pupils contracted sharply.

Facing his attack, Tang Wulin's response was simple: he directly extended his other hand to block it.

Then his terrifying, invincible claws were simply blocked by Tang Wulin; Tang Wulin's palm, glowing with white jade light, suffered no damage, instead causing Xiong Jun's gripped hand intense pain.

Then Tang Wulin lifted his knee, driving it into Xiong Jun's abdomen; a powerful nausea surged to his brain, making him almost vomit his entrails, and as he spat out a mouthful of blood, he nearly lost consciousness.

Immediately afterward, Tang Wulin's figure vanished again from the spot, and the Myriad Monster King's emitted beam struck where he had just stood.

At the same moment, Tang Wulin appeared before the Myriad Monster King, swiftly kicked out, striking its head and sending it flying.

"Boom!"

The Myriad Monster King crashed heavily to the ground, hastily scrambled up, yet also spat out a mouthful of blood.

In this exchange, Tang Wulin actually inflicted little serious harm on them—at least not life‑threatening—but his overwhelming advantage over the two was already evident.

No, relying on just the two of them couldn't handle this guy; they needed reinforcements! The Myriad Monster King instantly decided, simultaneously bursting forth with vines to entangle Tang Wulin while using mental power to contact the strongest ally he could think of.

Seeing the Myriad Monster King repeat its old trick, Tang Wulin's eyes flickered with doubt; he was about to dodge again with high‑speed movement, when suddenly he felt the flow of time slow.

The Myriad Monster King's domain skill, Instant Millennium Domain, lasts only an instant, yet makes the opponent feel an eternity long, allowing him to launch many powerful attacks in that moment.

Tang Wulin, having never seen this move, momentarily slowed; the Myriad Monster King seized the chance, accelerating its vines to tightly bind him into a huge sphere.

Monster Spirit Binding, one of the Myriad Monster King's favored passive abilities, is simple: anyone entangled by his vines will thereafter be briefly bound by an absolute‑level control.

Because the Myriad Monster King keeps a low profile and lacks frontal combat strength, many overlook him, but don't forget: his rank among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts is higher than Xiong Jun's—not just due to greater age, but in a outright death match Xiong Jun could not defeat him.

The top three of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts are each hegemons, so ordinary people seldom compare them with the lower seven.

If Xiong Jun represents the strongest attack among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts excluding the top three, then the Myriad Monster King represents the strongest control among those same beasts.

As the Myriad Monster King completed its control over Tang Wulin, Xiong Jun on the other side began to gather power.

Terrific light began to burst from his bear claws, and his entire aura swiftly swelled to an astonishing degree.

The beast most skilled at control and the beast most skilled at attack joined forces, immediately making the situation look much better.

Just then, the Ten Thousand Demon King's expression suddenly changed drastically.

"Xiong Jun, attack quickly!"

Hearing his command, Xiong Jun struck down with a claw without hesitation. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late; almost at the same moment, the vines that the Ten Thousand Demon King had used to bind Tang Wulin all burst forth with nine-colored light.

Immediately after, a huge nine-colored dragon head instantly shattered the cage and charged toward Xiong Jun.

Xiong Jun's terrifying claws couldn't even hold for half a second before it; they shattered on contact, and he was blasted away, falling to the ground motionless.

"Xiong Jun!"

The Ten Thousand Demon King was greatly shocked and lost color.

He could feel that after taking Tang Wulin's blow, Xiong Jun had already entered a dying state; without treatment, he would die completely within a minute.

As a colleague and opponent for countless years, he knew better than anyone how terrifying Xiong Jun was.

Yet such a formidable guy was actually knocked into this state by a single strike.

"Just what kind of monster is this kid!"

Huo Yutong's voice came from afar.

"Wulin, remember to leave a survivor; we need to find out what's going on."

"Yeah, I understand."

Tang Wulin's voice was very heavy.

His mood right now was actually very bad.

Because he really didn't expect that Gu Yue would actually attack a soul-guided train carrying so many ordinary people.

"If they wanted to come after him, that would be enough; why drag ordinary people into it!"

Therefore, he specifically mentioned to Huo Yutong after the incident, asking her to protect the passengers on the soul-guided train while he dealt with these two opponents.

He must make these two scoundrels pay the price.

He stepped closer to the Ten Thousand Demon King, and at the same time, the aura on his body began to gradually change.

From the original gorgeous nine-colored hue, it shifted to a green-gold full of life force.

At the same time, a green-gold soul ring slowly rose around him.

The Ten Thousand Demon King stared wide-eyed in astonishment, his voice trembling without him even realizing it.

"Natural Son..."

The Natural Son is a god-level martial soul condensed from Tang Wulin's inner life divine power combined with the Golden Ancient Tree, symbolizing the ultimate that life-system martial souls can achieve.

Although due to not being from the same world, Tang Wulin cannot directly command all plants as before, his suppressive power over plants still remains.

Just by releasing this martial soul at this moment, the Ten Thousand Demon King felt his internal energy begin to become disordered, making it difficult to mobilize normally.

Tang Wulin reached out his hand toward the Ten Thousand Demon King's neck.

He wanted to thoroughly interrogate this guy, who ranks fifth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts.

The Ten Thousand Demon King stared blankly at him, all fighting spirit gone from his eyes, with not a trace of will to resist.

Just as Tang Wulin's hand was about to touch the Ten Thousand Demon King's neck, a spatial rift suddenly opened beside his hand, and a hand shot out from it, grabbing his wrist.

The next instant, a terrifying surge of energy suddenly appeared.

A terrifying black-purple light pillar engulfed Tang Wulin, and the surrounding space began to show layers of cracks.

Huo Yutong, sitting at the front of the train, slightly furrowed her brows; the Ice Emperor's Bodyguard released externally, forming a huge ice shield that blocked the incoming energy impact, avoiding accidental casualties.

She glanced at the Snow Emperor behind her and casually asked, "Di Tian?"

Since the two great ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiong Jun and the Ten Thousand Demon King, have already appeared, it stands to reason that the strongest ferocious beast leading the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian, would not remain uninvolved.

And in Huo Yutong's understanding, the top-tier expert capable of causing such a situation is precisely Di Tian.

The Snow Emperor nodded, his expression calm.

"That's right, it's him. Do you need me to go up and help Wulin?"

Now that Huo Yutong has condensed the second yin-yang complementary soul core, her strength has undergone a qualitative leap, even surpassing her peak by a bit.

Defeating Di Tian is impossible, but assisting Tang Wulin with some support is still no problem.

Huo Yutong lightly shook her head, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

"No need; Di Tian still can't do anything to him. Earlier, the affectionate senior couldn't fully test his current combat power, so I think he also wants to take this opportunity to properly gauge just how strong his power really is."

As if to confirm her words were not false, the moment her voice fell, a heaven-shaking dragon roar rang out.

Under the impact of this terrifying dragon roar, the black-purple light pillar emitted a "crack-crack" sound, unable to hold for long before shattering, revealing the several people facing off.

Beside Xiong Jun and the Ten Thousand Demon King now stood three additional people: a black-haired male, a green-haired female, and a purple-black-haired female, all of whom exuded an extremely domineering aura without exception.

At this moment, they all stared intently at Tang Wulin not far away, their expressions extremely solemn.

The reason is simple: after being directly hit by that terrifying strike from Di Tian just now, Tang Wulin actually remained completely unharmed, appearing to have suffered no effect at all.

"Just what the hell is going on with this kid?! Tang Wulin brushed off the dust from his body and coldly gazed at the several enemies opposite him."

With Xiong Jun and the Ten Thousand Demon King as precedents, it's easy to guess the identities of these few.

"Di Tian, Bijie, and?"

The purple-black-haired woman's face instantly darkened.

"My name is Zijie."

"Why is it that only she wasn't recognized by Tang Wulin? 'I see, so these are the extra ferocious beasts that have appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest over the past ten thousand years? But as a replacement, there's no Red King.'

Tang Wulin nodded in understanding.

"But it doesn't matter; it's all the same."

He extended his right hand, and a golden long spear appeared out of thin air in his grasp.

He violently swung it once, and a terrifying blast of air exploded instantly, even the ground being neatly flung upward.

Golden and silver twin wings sprouted from Tang Wulin's back, six gold and one colored light rose from around him, and a tremendous pressure swept toward all the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He pointed the long spear in his hand at the leading Di Tian and said lightly, "Fighting them one by one is too troublesome; don't waste time—come all at once."
