Their direction of travel was towards the edge of the Chaotic Zone, without deciding to cross through the center.
The battles among the soul beasts within the Chaotic Zone were extremely dull.
To Ye Die Die, these soul beasts were like creatures without intelligence, only knowing how to fight.
Passing through there would not only slow down their progress but also subject them to occasional attacks from the soul beasts.
These soul beasts do not sense your strength; they simply attack regardless of how powerful you are.
These soul beasts lack intelligence and only know endless aggression.
A Yin agreed as well. They decided to proceed from the edge towards the inner area of the Star Dou Forest because she disliked those soul beasts.
She believed that those soul beasts lacked thought and intelligence, and were only chaotic beings.
Ye Die Die was constantly aware of the surrounding directions, disguising her own figure to avoid detection by other soul beasts.
Revealing oneself in the Chaotic Zone would be foolish. The chaotic soul beasts wouldn't be frightened by it but would instead follow the exposed aura.
A Yin also concealed her own aura and had the other Blue Silver Grasses disguise themselves as well.
As they journeyed through the soul beasts, even when encountering chaotic and unintelligent ones, A Yin effortlessly dealt with them.
They made intermittent progress along the way. Ye Die Die took detours to avoid unnecessary trouble, which consumed some time.
Compared to engaging in battles, she and A Yin shared the same will. They would rather spend additional time taking detours to avoid combat.
They safely passed through a period of time, until half a month later.
"A Yin, I extended my spiritual power, and now we have two paths to choose from."
Ye Die Die stopped at the center of the edge of the Chaotic Zone. They were halfway to entering the inner area.
"The first path may be easier. It leads towards the center of the Chaotic Zone, where I sensed the strongest soul beast to be at the Eight Thousand Year level. However, there are more soul beasts there, and their intelligence is not too high. We may encounter numerous soul beast attacks."
"The second path has only one soul beast, but it's a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. I can sense its presence, and it has likely been at the Ten Thousand Year cultivation level for a long time," Ye Die Die said, looking at A Yin, waiting for her decision.
In truth, if it were only her alone, or even just her and A Yin, she would prefer the first path. The chaos of the soul beasts on the first path indicated their lack of spiritual power. She could easily use her soul skills to disguise herself and quietly leave.
However, they were not the only ones heading towards the Star Dou Forest. The entire Blue Silver Grass clan was with them.
A Yin would certainly take responsibility for the Blue Silver Grass clan. Regardless of A Yin's choice, Ye Die Die would firmly support her.
"Butterfly Sister, I've decided to take the second path," A Yin said after careful consideration.
"Alright, let's go. I'll support you, and I still have some confidence," Ye Die Die responded.
Upon hearing A Yin's decision, Ye Die Die led her towards the second path.
A Yin said something to her clan, and the Blue Silver Grasses quieted down, silently following behind their queen.
After about fifteen minutes of progress, Ye Die Die stopped.
"They're here."
As soon as she spoke, a massive figure slowly approached from the distance.
The figure was that of a tiger, tremendously large. Unlike Ye Die Die and A Yin, who relied on spiritual power, this tiger clearly survived by its sheer physical strength.
The tiger was quite peculiar. From a distance, one could only see a dark, looming mass with black flames swirling around it.
As it drew closer to Ye Die Die, she could see it clearly—the tiger's eyes were white.
"Roar!"
The tiger arrived not far from A Yin and faced her. It could sense that she was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.
Though the tiger was confident in its ability to deal with her, there would still be a certain level of danger.
Ye Die Die didn't reveal her true form and continued to disguise herself. Her spiritual power was now very high, as she had spent a thousand years cultivating it alone.
She believed that even if she encountered a fifty-thousand-year-old ordinary soul beast, it might not be able to see through her disguise.
The scene fell into silence.
Upon hearing the roar, A Yin recognized the soul beast. It was a soul beast she knew but had never seen before. The aura emanating from it was unforgettable to A Yin.
A Yin was now certain that this tiger was the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast that invaded their Blue Silver Grass territory thousands of years ago.
The atmosphere at the scene was particularly peculiar.
"Roar... Huh..."
The tiger was about to break the silence and say something, but it was interrupted by Ye Die Die.
During their confrontation just now, Ye Die Die had been accumulating her spiritual power.
Since becoming a thousand-year soul beast, she had been able to release her spiritual power easily.
By the time she reached the Ten Thousand Year level, her understanding of spiritual power had become clearer. During those thousand years, she frequently trained her spiritual power.
Now, she could inflict damage and exert control over soul beasts weaker in spiritual power than herself.
Just before the tiger could make a sound, she made her move. The accumulated spiritual power, reaching its peak, directly impacted the tiger.
The mighty tiger, fully focused on A Yin, clearly did not expect that there was a powerful Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast nearby who suddenly attacked with spiritual power.
However, it was evident that the tiger possessed adequate combat skills. The moment it sensed the arrival of spiritual power, it promptly shielded its mind.
If it hadn't protected its mind in time, it would have been vulnerable to Ye Die Die's spiritual power and might have died instantly.
At this moment, Ye Die Die had already rendered the tiger immobile. Its entire focus was now on the struggle within its mind against Ye Die Die's spiritual power.
The tiger had initially thought it was just a sudden surge of spiritual power, catching it off guard. However, it hadn't expected this spiritual power to be so enduring, engaging in a battle with it and even gaining the upper hand.
This greatly shocked the tiger. It had been absorbing malevolent energy to cultivate, not limited to soul power. Wherever there was malevolent energy, it would cultivate faster.
Therefore, it came to the chaotic area to cultivate, absorbing the malevolent energy left behind by the beast pets at every moment. This led to its spiritual power far surpassing that of ordinary soul beasts at its cultivation level.
Don't be fooled by its physical strength; its spiritual power is not weaker than that of a thirty-thousand-year soul beast.
While the tiger was feeling shocked, it focused on defending its inner realm and had no interest in the outside world.
At this moment, A Yin took action. Normally, she alone would definitely not be able to defeat this powerful soul beast.
However, now she not only had Butterfly Sister controlling it with spiritual power, but she also had an entire clan behind her.
The Blue Silver Grass behind A Yin extended its leaves, merging into A Yin's body. A Yin's aura became powerful, and a massive vine emerged from behind her.
Gradually, more and more vines appeared, growing larger and stretching towards the tiger's body, entwining it completely.
A green light bloomed from the vines, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.
"Oh no, (οο) it seems like I made a mistake," this was what Ye Die Die was thinking at that moment.
