Douluo 2: This Dragon God has too much martial virtue

Chapter 633 A Little Bit of God-Level Shock
Just then, the Silver Dragon King suddenly felt a sharp pain in his tail.

A golden figure had appeared behind her seemingly out of nowhere. Over three meters long and eight feet tall at the shoulders, its entire body was covered in shimmering golden fur that sparkled in the sunlight, possessing an otherworldly quality like translucent crystal. It resembled a lion, yet was far more majestic and sacred. Its four powerful dragon claws each rested on a leaping ball of golden flame. Upon closer inspection, fine golden scales could be faintly seen beneath the golden fur.

Most strikingly, besides its normal eyes, it had a third vertical eye on its forehead. The two normal eyes shimmered with pure golden light, while the vertical pupil emitted an eerie red, like boiling blood.

A royal auspicious beast, the three-eyed golden lion?!

How dare it?! A mere mascot dared to touch her noble body, and by biting her at that! The Silver Dragon King's anger had not yet subsided when it was replaced by an even stronger shock. Unlike the five golden-red halos behind the Dragon Phoenix, at this moment, even more dazzling halos quietly emerged behind the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, layer upon layer, eventually transforming into a complete seven-ring halo.

Within the golden halo, layers of mysterious halos spread out, rendering the surrounding space a magnificent gold.

Although the Silver Dragon King had lost her memory and mental capacity, the knowledge inherited from her bloodline remained. She certainly knew what these seven rings of light meant.

A first-level deity! But how is that possible?!
Although the Imperial Beast is not subject to the Heavenly Tribulation and has a near-infinite lifespan, it is still ultimately a Soul Beast and should not be able to break the ironclad rule set by the Dragon God!

An unprecedented panic gripped the Silver Dragon King's heart. Had the prohibition set by the Dragon God been broken? Of course, she knew the true purpose of that prohibition: to give the dragon race a final chance to breathe and prevent other beasts from becoming gods first, threatening the future revival of the dragon race.

But if the Emperor Beast has set a precedent... can other soul beasts also follow this path to become gods?
If that's the case, her position as the still-healing, heavily injured ruler of the soul beasts will be extremely precarious. Those newly ascended beast gods through unknown means could replace her at any moment.

The most crucial question now is: how exactly did this three-eyed golden lion become a god? How could a mere mascot break the prohibition set forth by the Dragon God with his life and will?

After all, even a divine beast with extraordinary talent could hardly surpass a second-level deity in terms of power, let alone the clearly visible seven-ringed halo behind it, which was clearly a symbol of divine status recognized by the divine realm and a manifestation of divine authority.

A wildly unbelievable guess surfaced in her mind: Could it be that the dragon's outlandish plan to create a god had actually succeeded?!

She recalled the insane plan Mu Xing had proposed: to select a 100,000-year-old soul beast to transform and rebuild its power, and to sacrifice three 100,000-year-old soul beasts that couldn't survive their first tribulation, along with a 200,000-year-old ferocious beast, in an attempt to forcibly create a god-level being. At the time, this plan ultimately failed, and she had secretly scoffed at its overestimation of its own abilities.

So, she's now setting her sights on the even more special Emperor Beast, which is related to the fate of soul beasts? And... she actually succeeded?!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" The Silver Dragon King tried to deny this terrifying conjecture. The Dragon God's decree could only be revoked or transcended by the will of the Dragon God himself! Unless…

Unless this imperial auspicious beast follows the same path as the rabbit from ten thousand years ago, relying on the support of a powerful deity to circumvent the prohibitions and indirectly obtain a divine position in a manner similar to that of an appendage or companion.

This thought made her even more uneasy. If this was true, it meant that the power of the divine realm had intervened more deeply in the lower realm, and she, as the ruler of all soul beasts, was completely unaware of it, even kept in the dark!
However, despite the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's undeniable ascension to godhood, and even the seven rings of its halo signifying its status as a first-level deity, the Silver Dragon King felt a surge of anger at being offended. She was half a dragon god, the supreme ruler of soul beasts; how could a mere auspicious beast, revered as a lucky charm, casually touch her body?!

If all that was in front of her was the phoenix, which was radiating crimson gold and had just stepped into the threshold of a second-level deity, and the newly promoted first-level deity, the three-eyed golden lion, she was confident that with her absolute control over the elements and the suppression of the dragon god's bloodline, even though she was still seriously injured, she would be able to subdue them, or even kill them!
But what if they aren't acting alone? Especially the Imperial Beast, whose companions could very well be deities even stronger than itself. A deity stronger than a first-level god could only be…

"Get out of my way!" Overwhelmed with shame and anger, the Silver Dragon King swung her tail violently, and seven distinct elemental forces instantly merged into a dazzling yet deadly torrent of energy, bursting forth from her tail like a colorful lightning bolt, fiercely striking the three-eyed golden lion that was biting her tail.

This sudden and violent attack forced the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to relent and retreat, skillfully avoiding the direct impact of the elemental turbulence.

"How dare you!" Taking advantage of the situation, the Silver Dragon King turned its massive dragon body around, its cold purple eyes fixed on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and a giant claw covered with hexagonal silver scales reached out to grab it with the force to tear through space.

"I gave you the honor of being an imperial auspicious beast! I asked Di Tian to take care of you as you grew up! Is this how you repay me?!" She regarded the birth and growth of the auspicious beast as her own blessing, after all, the original soul beasts were born because of the aura she emitted. At this moment, the behavior of the three-eyed golden lion was simply utterly ungrateful in her eyes.

“That’s not how it is.” The three-eyed golden lion dodged while earnestly refuting, “Even without your orders, Di Tian would take me back and raise me properly, because I can accelerate the cultivation speed of other soul beasts.”

Look at this silver dragon, what nonsense is it spouting? Fu Rui shook her head. Her father wasn't stupid. Even the dumbest human knows there's money to pick up on the ground. Would the mighty Beast God not know there are cats to pick up? What if he's too slow and they're all gone? And these are cats with cultivation accelerators.

More than four thousand years ago, he traveled thousands of miles to snatch a cow cat from humans. Those powerful humans fought tooth and nail, but in the end, they could only get a few cat hairs (broken dragon scales).

"But why did you hurt Biji? She has healed so many soul beasts..." Fu Rui pawed at the ground anxiously, splashing golden flames.

The Silver Dragon King thought Fu Rui's question was stupid, of course, because she was the ruler of all soul beasts, half of the Dragon God, and above all soul beasts. She naturally had absolute power of life and death over these soul beasts.

Brigitte has healed many spirit beasts? So what? What do she care whether those spirit beasts live or die? Offending her is the greatest sin!

Of course, she couldn't tell Fu Rui that Brigitte had said something offensive to her, because that would make her lose face.

It's almost finished, so daily updates may not be guaranteed. Please feel free to let the book run for a while.

After seeing the preview of Honkai Impact 3rd, I'm a bit disheartened. I was originally a player who had completed the entire collection, and I don't need those two thousand yuan, but... suddenly it just feels pretty pointless, meow.
