Douluo Continent: Dark Demon God Biao, inheriting the position of an evil god

Chapter 118 Returning to the Starry Sky, Encountering the Auspicious Beast Again

"Yes, I just broke through."

Dai Yuntian smiled and nodded: "It's all thanks to Sister Xiaotao's 'help'."

These words had a double meaning, which made Ma Xiaotao blush even more. She glared at him irritably, but a hint of pride was revealed in her eyes.

It was as if Dai Yuntian's breakthrough was also partly due to her efforts.

"Congratulations! You've become a Soul King so quickly. You're almost catching up to me now."

Ma Xiaotao felt the lingering effects of soul power in the room, her tone complex.

She recalled the hardships she faced when she broke through to the Soul King realm, and looking at the young man before her, she couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

This guy is a monster...

……

late at night.

Dai Yuntian, Bingdi, and Xuedi sat in a row and began to discuss which soul beast to absorb.

"Yun Tian, ​​have you decided which soul beast you want to absorb?"

Hyotei, being impatient by nature, urged.

Xue Di suggested, "Why don't we go ask Xiao Bai?"

As a mother, how could you not miss your child after being separated from them for so long?
Although Xiaobai was adopted by her, it doesn't matter.

Moreover, sacrificing Dai Yuntian was entirely within the scope of the Great Dao of Heaven.

Just like in Journey to the West, apart from some exceptionally powerful immortals, which immortal wouldn't want their disciples and followers to bask in some merit?

Even Lao Tzu was no exception.

Making Xiaobai Dai Yuntian's soul ring was an opportunity, not a sacrifice.

"The Ice Bear King is also an Ice-type, let me think."

Dai Yuntian's first thought was to refuse, not because the Ice Bear King was weak, but because he already had two Ultimate Ice Soul Beasts.

Therefore, he wanted to add some other attributes.

Just like even the best dishes can become tiresome if you eat too much of them.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Dai Yuntian, reminding him of a special character from the original story.

In the Starry Sky Forest, there is a 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle!

As far as he knew, the golden hawksbill turtle had mistakenly ingested the rare treasure "Gold of Life," but instead of refining it, it was being constantly devoured by the Gold of Life, leaving it in critical condition and in extremely poor health.

The fact that he was so easily sacrificed to Xu Sanshi in the original story shows that his temper was far beyond that of other ferocious beasts.

Furthermore, the golden tortoiseshell possesses both water and earth attributes, and water and earth elements are among the primordial elements of the world.

The only drawback might be that golden hawksbill turtles are only a mere 100,000 years old.

But this doesn't matter, since there will be a divine test later, and increasing the age limit will be a very simple matter then.

"Hyotei, Yukitei, I think I have an idea. You two should go back now."

Dai Yuntian seemed to be deep in thought.

……

As soon as it was light, Dai Yuntian left the academy alone and hurried towards the outskirts of the city.

His goal was clear.

Star Forest!
However, he was unaware that a powerful and hidden aura was silently following behind him.

The newcomer was none other than Xian Lin'er, who was preparing to win over Dai Yuntian.

She watched Dai Yuntian's swift retreating figure from afar, a hint of doubt appearing on her beautiful face: "Strange, this kid didn't go to class today, and hurriedly left the city alone. Where is he going? Towards the Star Dou Great Forest... Could it be that he broke through to the Soul King realm? Is he going to obtain his fifth Soul Ring?"

The thought sent a slight jolt through Xian Lin'er's heart.

Going to hunt down the fifth spirit ring alone?

This is too risky!

"Never mind..." Xian Lin'er shook her head gently, her red lips slightly pursed, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Since we've run into him, let's follow him and see. If this kid really encounters some danger he can't handle, I can secretly help him out."

……

Speechless all the way.

Upon arriving at the Star Dou Great Forest, Dai Yuntian moved swiftly through the forest like the wind.

He concealed his aura, minimizing his presence, and stealthily headed towards the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.

Along the way, they inevitably encountered some soul beasts that were thousands or even tens of thousands of years old.

Faced with these soul beasts blocking his way, Dai Yuntian did not choose to force his way through, but instead cleverly combined his spiritual power with the ultimate ice bestowed by the Ice Emperor and Snow Emperor.

Often, it's just a cold glance or a faint, terrifying pressure emanating from their body.

Those keenly perceptive soul beasts were struck dumb, growling in terror as they tucked their tails between their legs and fled in panic, not daring to provoke them at all.

Occasionally, a few foolish, ferocious, ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts would attempt to attack.

Dai Yuntian merely moved slightly, a flash of cold light from his fingertips instantly freezing the other's limbs, easily averting the crisis.

The whole process was smooth and quiet, without making much noise.

This scene captivated Xian Lin'er, who had been silently following behind and remaining hidden. Her beautiful eyes shone with wonder, and she was filled with amazement.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding trees grew taller and thicker, and the abundant spiritual energy of heaven and earth almost materialized, filling the air with an ancient and dangerous aura.

This is already on the edge of the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, where you may encounter powerful ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts, or even one-hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts, at any time!

Just as Dai Yuntian was carefully navigating around a swamp filled with poisonous miasma...

A sudden change occurred!

A dazzling golden light flashed past from behind a cluster of strange bushes emitting a pale golden glow.

Immediately afterwards, a figure walked out slowly with elegant and proud steps.

This is a soul beast so beautiful it takes your breath away.

It resembles a lion, but is more slender and majestic, its entire body covered in brilliant golden fur, as if it were made of pure gold, shimmering in the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves.

Most remarkably, it has a single, crystal-clear, jewel-like vertical pupil right in the center of its forehead.

Three-eyed Golden Lion.

Auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, a favorite of destiny!

Dai Yuntian's pupils suddenly contracted, and he stopped in his tracks instantly.

He never expected to meet this "prince" of the forest here!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also clearly noticed Dai Yuntian, this uninvited guest.

It stopped and tilted its head, curiously examining Dai Yuntian.

The next second, a look of wariness flashed in her eyes.

"It's you?!!"

A clear, melodious, and somewhat ethereal girl's voice rang out.

Dai Yuntian's heart skipped a beat, and he frowned slightly: "You...know me?"

He quickly recalled that he seemed to have never had any interaction with this three-eyed golden lion.

The three-eyed golden lion scratched its gleaming golden chin with its claws, feigning deep thought, a sly glint in its vertical pupils.

It remembered!
Five years ago, this human boy was in meditation absorbing a spirit ring, so he didn't pay attention to himself.

Hehe, what a coincidence!

The three-eyed golden lion was overjoyed.

It remembered clearly that last time, Di Tian had been furious because of this kid and had even scolded it.

"If I were to bring this guy before Di Tian..."

The three-eyed golden lion's little head was spinning rapidly.

"I'm sure Di Tian will be very surprised, and then he'll praise me for being sensible and capable, right?"
"Maybe they'll even reward me with some delicious Starshine Fruits!"
