Douluo: Transforming Xiao Wu into a Zerg Queen Was Just the Beginning-Chapter 35 - 36 – Overwhelming Pressure: The Stunned Sky Azure Bull Python!

Within the Star Dou Great Forest — Outer Region.

BOOM... BOOM...!

The ground suddenly trembled violently, and strange sounds echoed from all directions deep within the forest.

All the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest raised their heads in confusion, sensing the vibrations and looking toward the source of the disturbance.

The earth beneath them continued to quake like an earthquake.

Beasts roared in unease, pacing and growling. Then, as if compelled by some invisible force, they all turned their eyes skyward.

Above, the vast blue sky was covered with thick, snowy-white clouds, fluffy and dense, gently filtering the blinding sunlight.

But then—a massive shadow emerged from behind the clouds.

It stretched across several kilometers, casting darkness over the land below. Some soul beasts on the ground began to panic. This scene felt strangely familiar...

Only this time, the shadow was far more immense and oppressive.

An overwhelming presence radiated through the clouds, pressing down on the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest with suffocating weight.

"ROOOOAAAR—!"

A thunderous roar pierced through the sky, shaking the forest. One after another, beastly howls followed—two of which were especially ferocious and thunderous, like dragons unleashing their wrath into the heavens.

At the forest's core.

The Sky Azure Bull Python—its massive form floating in the air with eyes closed in meditation—suddenly snapped its lantern-sized eyes open, filled with unease as it looked toward the outer region.

Had it just heard... a terrifying roar?

A moment later, it shook its massive head and let out a dry chuckle. Perhaps it had misheard. The outer region was countless miles away—what kind of soul beast could make a sound that reached the core?

Even a ten-thousand-year beast breaking through to a hundred-thousand-year level couldn't make this kind of noise.

Besides, as one of the sovereigns of the Star Dou Great Forest, ruling over all soul beasts, any major evolution would typically be brought to the core for protection. Why would a beast attempt such a breakthrough alone in the outer region, risking its life?

The Sky Azure Bull Python dismissed the thought and began to return to its slumber—

"ROOOAAAR—!"

A second roar—like a furious dragon—ripped through the forest, shaking the very air. The sound carried boundless might and cruelty, tearing straight into the Bull Python's ears.

Its eyes widened as it stared toward the outer forest.

This time, it heard it clearly. There was no mistake.

That roar... was monstrous.

What kind of creature could produce such a sound from so far away? A hundred-thousand-year soul beast? Or something even stronger?

A sense of dread crept into the Sky Azure Bull Python's heart.

It had lived alongside the Titan Giant Ape for over a hundred thousand years in the Star Dou Great Forest. Never—not once—had they discovered another powerful beast hidden within its bounds.

Its massive head slowly lifted, deep in thought, before its eyes flashed in sudden realization.

It remembered what Er Ming (the Titan Giant Ape) had told it some days ago—about a strange new species of soul beast...

Could this be what Er Ming was referring to?

If so, then this was far worse than expected.

Its expression grew serious. After a moment's hesitation, it glanced at the still-slumbering Titan Giant Ape, then turned and shot off toward the outer region.

BOOM... BOOM...!

The quakes lasted for a long time before the earth finally began to settle.

But just as the soul beasts were growing restless from the tremors, a change in the sky pushed them into full-blown panic.

From high above—ten thousand meters up—the thick white clouds began to sink.

That vast shadow from earlier pressed down, heavier and heavier, engulfing the land in darkness.

The sunlight vanished completely, leaving behind an ever-growing blackness, as if the heavens themselves were collapsing.

The sky and the earth were drawing together—slowly, irresistibly.

"ROOOOOAR—!"

A terrifying roar once again shattered the air, blasting through the cloud cover and echoing across the entire forest.

The clouds... finally split open.

Two Overlord-class Zerg Warships roared as they broke through, openly announcing the arrival of the Zerg Swarm.

Each was over 50 meters long and 20 meters tall, emerging from the clouds like titanic beasts. Their crimson eyes, like blood-red suns, pierced through the gloom as they stared down at the world below.

Dozens of massive tentacles writhed beneath them, twisting and squirming as the ships hovered like floating mountains, slowly descending.

And behind them...

An endless swarm of Overlords.

Thousands of red-eyed Zerg creatures poured from the sky like a black tide, covering the horizon in an overwhelming wave of biomass.

"ROAR!" "SCREEE!" "HISSSS!"

The soul beasts below panicked. They roared, shrieked, and bolted in every direction, eyes wide with terror as they beheld the Zerg armada above.

Meanwhile, the Sky Azure Bull Python, speeding toward the outer region, suddenly froze mid-air.

Its eyes went wide with shock as it gazed several kilometers ahead... at the two monstrous warships looming in the sky.

"What... what are those things?"

It prided itself as one of the sovereigns of the Star Dou Great Forest, a beast of massive size. Coiled up, it looked enormous.

But compared to these Zerg warships? It looked tiny.

And yet... these warships were more bark than bite. Any ten-thousand-year soul beast could likely bring one down with effort.

Still, in this world where size often equated to power, both humans and beasts instinctively viewed larger creatures as stronger.

Not to mention, this world had very few effective ways to combat aerial threats.

This only reinforced Lin Fan's determination to hatch the Mutalisks (flying dragons).

"Once I get those flying, who's going to stop me?"

The Sky Azure Bull Python's massive eyes flickered with hesitation. This situation had spiraled far beyond expectations.

But still, it clenched its teeth and pushed forward. It had to uncover the truth about these strange invaders.

Far above, hidden among the clouds, a surveillance Overlord tracked its every move.

Back inside the Zerg hive, Lin Fan smirked as he watched the scene unfold through the Overmind's vision.

He reached over and playfully ran his hand along Xiao Wu's soft thigh.

"Your old friend is here," he said casually. "Go give him a proper welcome."

Xiao Wu giggled sweetly, her eyes glowing red.

"As you command, my Overlord~"
