Capítulo 2243: Chapter 2187: The Weight of Heavenly Forging (Subscription Requested)_1

Ten Thousand Beast Platform, the core area!

Many Soul Masters could be seen traveling in groups, their eyes sweeping excitedly over their surroundings...

One of them exclaimed in astonishment, "Is this the core area of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform? I really don't understand why the Spirit Pagoda has marked this place as forbidden. The soul beasts here are clearly more realistic!"

Another chimed in, "Yeah, that soul beast that attacked me just now, I almost thought it was real!"

"Regarding the forbidden area, haven't you heard what the Spirit Pagoda staff said? This core area is home to ancient ferocious beasts, the Azure Oxpython and the Titan Ape! When some Soul Masters witnessed them, they were scared out of their wits!"

"How could that be! No matter how realistic it is, it's still just virtual, right?"

"Is it possible that the soul beasts in this core area are actually real? Hahahaha, I'm just kidding. Soul beasts would never willingly be confined by us humans!"

"Well, since we're here anyway, those Spirit Pagoda staff can't organize us. Let's start hunting soul beasts!"

With that said, they began to search for the surrounding soul beasts and freely hunted them...

In just a short ten minutes or so, the ground was already quietly littered with the bodies of several soul beasts, their strikingly red blood flowing from their wounds...

This made the Soul Masters even more thrilled...

"After killing these soul beasts, they actually bleed. The level of realism is just so different from the Spirit Ascension Platform!"

"I've decided, from now on, I'll always come to the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. This feeling of hunting soul beasts unrestrained is simply wonderful!"

"Since it's all virtual anyway, how about we hunt down all the soul beasts in the core area? What do you all think?"

However, one of the Soul Masters rubbed his eyes in disbelief and pointed at a bone on the ground that was emitting a unique fluorescence...

He exclaimed, "Look... is that a soul... soul bone?"

After saying that, his eyes blazing, he quickly picked it up...

After a close examination, he laughed loudly, "A soul... soul bone, hahahahaha, it's actually a soul bone!!"

The rest of the Soul Masters, however, showed disdain and contempt...

They mocked, "Stop dreaming, that soul bone is fake. You can't take it out of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!"

"Exactly, probably these soul beasts drop soul bones just to add to the realism!"

"Let's keep looking for other soul beasts, this is getting more and more exciting!"

The previous speaker explained, "Believe me, this is really a soul bone!"

Yet, not a single person chose to trust him!

This immediately made his expression turn ugly, as he thought to himself, "Hmph, a bunch of foolish people, a genuine soul bone right in front of your eyes and you can't even recognize it!"

Well, it might not be so bad to be the only one aware of this...

Meanwhile, the entire earth began to shake wildly, and a colossal creature emanating a terrifying aura emerged from the forest...

At a glance, it was several hundred meters in size!

It was indeed the Titan Ape!

It looked down at the humans below with its eyes, and spoke in a cold voice, "Foolish humans, this place is not for you. Get out!"

The legs of these Soul Masters began to tremble, but their faces showed not a hint of fear...

In their eyes, a virtual soul beast couldn't possibly inflict real harm!

"Is this... the legendary Titan Ape? It can even speak our language; there really is such an existence in the core area!"

"If we kill it, will we get some kind of reward from the Spirit Pagoda?"

"There must be, otherwise, there's no need to record such a terrifying soul beast into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform!!"

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is just virtual. Even if we're no match for it, at most, it'll just kick us out of the Ten Thousand Beast Platform. There's no real danger to our lives!!"

The Titan Ape felt humiliated and said in a cold voice, "It seems you're seeking death!!"

The leading Soul Master mustered some unknown courage and yelled skyward, "You can speak human language, but do you really think you are an ancient ferocious beast? You're nothing but a bunch of data that's been recorded!"

No sooner had these words been uttered than the killing intent emanating from the Titan Ape almost solidified, casting a red tint over everything around...

Without any hesitation, it immediately stretched out its right arm and smacked down towards the Soul Masters below...

The Soul Masters sensed the pervasive danger and instantly retreated backward...

A loud "boom" echoed as a horrifying fissure split open the ground...

And one Soul Master, who had failed to dodge in time, had been shockingly reduced to a pile of flesh...

Looking at that pool of blood, the Soul Masters unconsciously swallowed hard, "He... is he dead?? Something... something seems wrong here."

The man who had received the soul bone earlier paused, as if he had made a connection...

"The soul bone just now... not good, all the soul beasts in this core area are real, everyone run!!"

"What?? The Spirit Pagoda is full of lunatics, actually allowing a real Titan Ape into the Ten Thousand Beast Platform! Are they trying to kill us?"

"Damn it, as soon as I get out, I'll definitely expose the Spirit Pagoda! They must have some unspeakable secret for keeping soul beasts!"

The Titan Ape, having heard this conversation, narrowed its eyes devoid of emotion and said, "Now that you know the truth... there's no need for you to leave alive, Gravity Compression!!"

Its muscular arms slapped the ground, and instantly, the gravity in the space where the Soul Masters were increased by hundreds of times...

The weaker among them, after a brief struggle, were all compressed into dried-up corpses!

The Titan Ape glanced over, "Hmph, ignorant fools! You can't blame anyone but yourselves!"

This plane was created by it and the Azure Oxpython, and they could know everything that happened within!

Naturally, this included these Soul Masters hunting soul beasts!

...

On the other side, Tang Wulin and Xie Xie had already arrived at the Blacksmith Association headquarters!

Tang Wulin promptly found a staff member and asked, "Excuse me, where's President Zhenhua?"

This staff member obviously recognized Tang Wulin and sighed, "The President has fallen into a coma due to the exhaustion of a great deal of spiritual power from Heavenly Forging..."

Upon hearing this, Tang Wulin expressed his surprise, "Even President Zhenhua, a Title Douluo, can't withstand the spiritual power consumed by Heavenly Forging?"

Indeed, the difficulty of Heavenly Forging is beyond comparison with other levels of forging!

The staff member's eyes lit up, "That's right, before slipping into a coma, the President instructed that the video recording of the Heavenly Forging process be handed over to you!"

After searching at the counter, he handed over a box embedded with a chip...

Upon receiving it, Tang Wulin felt the weight in his hands, "Thank you!"

The President really did a lot for him, and leaving the video of Heavenly Forging was most likely to let him better absorb the experience!!
