Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 58 The Emperor’s Auspicious Beast
Tang Ya leaned against Ye Xixuan's chest, still somewhat dazed.

Ye Xixuan's pair of Heavenly Spider Claws were located on her chest; the left hand was as black as ink, and the right hand shone with silver light. Every detail of her hands was flawless, extending all the way to her wrists.

This gorgeous external spirit bone particularly appealed to her aesthetic sense.

For some reason, at this moment, such an idea suddenly came to Tang Ya's mind.

What would it feel like if Ye Xixuan touched her body with those hands?

"Sister Xiaoya." Hearing Ye Xixuan's soft reminder, Tang Ya's pretty face instantly turned bright red, and her delicate body went limp.

"what happened?"

"Stop daydreaming, go and deal with that thousand-year-old Ghost King Vine to prepare to absorb the soul ring." Ye Xixuan withdrew the Heavenly Spider Claw from his left hand, placed his hand on Tang Ya's fragrant shoulder, and said helplessly.

With the help of Ye Xixuan's left hand, Tang Ya steadied herself and nodded repeatedly with a darting gaze.

"oh oh."

Under Ye Xixuan's watchful gaze, Tang Ya took out a dagger from her storage soul tool and quickly stepped forward to cut off the roots of the thousand-year-old Ghost King Vine.

Only when a bright purple spirit ring gradually took shape did Ye Xixuan retract the Heavenly Spider Claw in his right hand and release the restraints on the Ghost King Vine's body. He stepped forward to Tang Ya's side, and Tang Ya's attention finally turned to the third spirit ring she was about to absorb. She turned around and grinned at him.

"Xi Xuan, I didn't expect things to go so smoothly this time. I'm going to start absorbing the soul rings. Protect me." As she spoke, she quickly sat cross-legged next to the bright purple vine that was the Ghost King Vine's main body, and a blue glow shone from her right hand.

With a gentle lift of her hand, the purple soul ring above the corpse of the Ghost King Vine was immediately attracted by the blue light in her hand and merged into her body.

Tang Ya's smile faded, and she began to concentrate on absorbing the soul ring.

Ye Xixuan stayed by Tang Ya's side, keeping a watchful eye on their surroundings.

Plant-type spirit beasts rarely appear in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest. This is because when these plant-type spirit beasts are newly born and relatively weak, they are often preyed upon by the herbivorous spirit beasts in the outer areas of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In contrast, the living environment for plant-type spirit beasts is much better in the mixed zone. After all, the spirit beasts living in the mixed zone are generally of strong races and bloodlines, and rarely show any interest in plant-type spirit beasts.

Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya are currently in the outer area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, which is relatively close to the mixed zone. It is quite common for them to encounter thousand-year-old soul beasts.

Ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts pose no threat to Ye Xi Xuan Gou, but in order not to affect Tang Ya's absorption of soul rings, she would definitely avoid fighting as much as possible.

Using their dark-attribute martial souls to conceal their presence, the two avoided many unintentionally approaching soul beasts. When unavoidable encounters were unavoidable, Ye Xixuan would use her external soul bone, the Heavenly Spider Claw, to repel the soul beasts from a distance.

After spending two full hours, Tang Ya finally managed to absorb her third soul ring without any major incidents.

"Hmm..." Tang Ya let out a long breath and slowly opened her eyes. Her bright eyes shone with a sharp light, and her whole spirit seemed to have been greatly sublimated.

With the activation of her soul power, three soul rings—two yellow and one purple—rapidly rose from beneath her feet. The most striking of these was the purple thousand-year soul ring, its bright purple light radiating an aura of nobility.

Level 30 is a significant hurdle for the vast majority of Soul Masters. Crossing this threshold and advancing to the three-ring Soul Master realm signifies becoming a true Soul Master powerhouse with limitless potential. However, many Soul Masters with less talent never manage to break through the level 30 bottleneck in their entire lives.

Tang Ya excitedly jumped up from the ground and cheered as she rushed into Ye Xixuan's arms.

"Xi Xuan, I succeeded." Ye Xi Xuan subconsciously embraced Tang Ya's soft and delicate body, but his gaze fell on the dark purple vines at Tang Ya's feet that had not yet completely retracted.

These vines are marked with deep patterns, like giant purple pythons slithering across the ground, covered with dense thorns, a far cry from her original Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul.

Although the quality of the Thousand-Year Ghost King Vine's spirit rings was high, it was clearly not enough to cause such a huge change in her martial soul.

In particular, Ye Xixuan clearly sensed a cold and evil aura from Tang Ya's martial soul, all of which pointed to the same conclusion.

That is, Tang Ya's Devouring Talent in her Martial Soul Origin was unintentionally activated.

Tang Ya belatedly noticed Ye Xixuan's unusual behavior, and looked in the direction of his gaze with a slight pause. But in the next instant, the smile on her face froze.

"Xi Xuan, I..."

"Sister Xiaoya, this should be the innate ability hidden in your martial soul's origin." Ye Xixuan's original intention in having Tang Ya continuously absorb plant-type soul beast soul rings was to hope that there was a slight possibility of activating the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in her body in the future. He never expected that it would cause that evil power to awaken ahead of schedule.

Therefore, Tang Ya's Devouring Talent may not be hidden, and it is even possible that this Devouring Talent overshadows the Blue Silver Emperor bloodline in her body.

Tang Ya nodded, both surprised and frightened. From the moment she awakened her martial soul, she already knew that another talent was hidden within her body: the talent to devour life. This talent contained a vast evil aura, and once activated, it could very likely affect her mind, making her controlled by killing and evil thoughts.

"I don't know why this talent of mine was awakened; I never expected it to happen like this."

"Watch out!" Just then, Ye Xixuan suddenly grabbed Tang Ya.

A deafening roar followed immediately, accompanied by a terrifying shockwave that seemed to overwhelm everything.

Held protectively in Ye Xixuan's arms, Tang Ya clearly saw vast swathes of forest around them fall like harvested wheat. An exceptionally imposing figure leaped across the land, causing the earth to tremble.

Even with Ye Xixuan's current cultivation level, he felt a wave of dizziness.

This aura is undoubtedly that of a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!

The enormous figure landed not far in front of the two, charging straight towards them, white shockwaves continuously erupting from its body. It stood over fifteen meters tall, its entire body covered in white fur, and a single eye on its massive head radiated a terrifying light.

A Cyclops of eternal life, with the attribute of light!
Behind this ancient cyclops, there was a golden streak of light, like a small sun passing through the jungle.

It was a lion over three meters long, eight feet tall at the shoulder, its entire body covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur. Though called a lion, it had four dragon claws, and its body seemed to be made of translucent crystal.

Each dragon claw was treading on a ball of golden flame, and its mouth was longer than that of a lion-type soul beast, with fine golden scales beneath its fur.

Besides its normal golden eyes, it also has a third eye on its forehead, which flashes with an eerie red light.

"An imperial auspicious beast?!"

　How about I add an extra chapter for Da Huo today? From now on, I'll change it to one chapter at midnight and one at noon.
