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

Chapter 15 The auspicious beast is enraged, the Crimson King attacks, and Ma Xiaotao dies?

"Hehe~ Di Tian is lying, he always says that humans are the most dangerous."

"It doesn't look like anything special at all."

The three-eyed golden lion lay hidden behind a bush, its clear golden eyes curiously observing the group of people not far away.

However, what attracts it most is the barbecue on the iron plate.

Then it looked left and right, and saw that the people hadn't noticed it.

The three-eyed golden lion began to grow bolder.

One step, two steps, stealthily approaching the barbecue.

Soon, the three-eyed golden lion slipped over to the grill where the barbecue was placed.

It carefully used its claws to hook off a skewer of grilled meat that smelled deliciously charred, then quickly retreated behind a large rock and began to feast.

"Mmm...so delicious!"

The rich aroma of meat and the unique seasoning exploded in its mouth, and it happily squinted its eyes, feeling that it was more delicious than any spiritual fruit in the Star Dou Great Forest.

While it was happily munching on a meat skewer, it couldn't help but curiously peek out to observe the human boy who was being watched nervously by others not far away.

At this moment, Dai Yuntian, standing on the stone platform, is experiencing the most crucial moment of absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring.

The divine soul ring surrounding him was undergoing an astonishing color change!
From its initial colorless and transparent state, it was supported by Dai Yuntian's strong physique and unwavering will.

The spirit ring suddenly lit up, turning into a bright yellow.

This signifies that the age of the spirit ring has exceeded five hundred years, reaching the excellent level of the first spirit ring.

However, the changes did not stop there.

The yellow hue deepened, the light became more condensed, and the energy within surged and turbulent.

Zhu Yun'er, Dai Yueheng, and Ma Xiaotao all held their breath and watched nervously.

Although they had never absorbed a divinely bestowed soul ring, their gradual improvement was a clear indication of it.

The most crucial moment is approaching, which will determine whether we can break through the millennium barrier.

Dai Yuntian frowned slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, clearly indicating that he was under considerable pressure.

However, the Dark Demon God's Martial Soul within him growled faintly, emitting a powerful devouring force that aided him in refining the vast energy.

The buzzing starts again!

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the yellow spirit ring began to transform into purple.

A wisp of purple, like ink dripped into clear water, quickly spread out.

The color of the spirit ring deepened, and finally, the entire spirit ring stabilized on a bright purple!
Its radiance is restrained, yet it contains a power that chills the heart.

Millennium Soul Ring Achieved!

Moreover, judging from the brightness of its purple color, it is definitely not old!

It must be at least 1500 years old, which is 300 years older than the originally estimated age of the spirit ring!
"Success!"

Dai Yueheng couldn't help but let out a low gasp, his fists clenched tightly.

Zhu Yun'er let out a long sigh of relief, her tightly clenched hands loosened slightly, her palms were covered in sweat, but the joy and pride in her eyes were almost overflowing.

The son's first spirit ring is 1500 years. What mother wouldn't be proud of that?
Ma Xiaotao's beautiful eyes also sparkled, her heart filled with awe at the wonder of the divinely bestowed soul ring.

The three-eyed golden lion hiding behind the rock was also stunned, forgetting to chew the meat in its mouth.

Although it didn't quite understand why the boy's spirit ring color could change, its first spirit ring was a thousand years old!
It instinctively sensed that this human boy was extraordinary.

The three-eyed golden lion became more and more curious as it looked at this human. There was an inexplicable attraction about this human that made it want to get closer and see what was going on.

With half a skewer of grilled meat in his mouth, he subconsciously peeked out from behind the rock and began to scrutinize Dai Yuntian.

Unbeknownst to them, their dazzling golden fur became particularly striking in the glow of the campfire.

"Ok?"

Zhu Yun'er, who was focused on protecting her son, was the first to notice the abnormality. Her gaze instantly locked onto the golden figure that shouldn't be there, and she immediately felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy: "Where did this lion come from?"

These words immediately alerted Dai Yueheng and Ma Xiaotao. The two looked in the direction of the voice and saw a golden-haired beast they had never seen before, resembling a lion but even more majestic, holding their roasted meat in its mouth and staring blankly in Dai Yuntian's direction.

"Huh? When did this guy sneak in?"

Dai Yueheng was somewhat surprised, but he did not sense any great threat, assuming that it was some kind of rare low-level soul beast attracted by the scent.

After all, he had never seen a mythical beast before and thought it was just an ordinary lion-type soul beast.

So Dai Yueheng waved his hand, trying to shoo them away: "Go away! Get out of here!"

Ma Xiaotao also frowned slightly. Although she thought the soul beast was beautiful, Dai Yuntian was at a critical stage of absorbing soul rings and could not be disturbed in the slightest.

She released a burst of intense soul power, trying to scare it away: "Get away!"

However, their actions, which were meant to drive them away, thoroughly enraged the imperial beast that had been cherished since childhood.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion had never been treated this way before.

In the Star Dou Great Forest, it was the darling of all the soul beasts, and even the ferocious beasts treated it with utmost care.

Being scolded and driven away by a few "weak" humans, it suddenly felt wronged and angry.

The Red King was right after all; humans are all bad!

The three-eyed golden lion threw away the meat skewer in its mouth, raised its head, and let out a ferocious dragon roar:
"Ouch——!!!"

Just as it was about to make a move against the group.

boom--! ! !
Almost the instant the howl ended, an extremely terrifying pressure, like a tangible mountain, crashed down from the depths of the forest.

A colossal, crimson figure, as large as a small mountain, carrying an overwhelming aura of ferocity, tore through the trees and charged forward at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

The newcomer was one of the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, a super ferocious beast with a cultivation of over 300,000 years.

Three-headed red devil mastiff, the Red King!

The Crimson King's massive, mountain-like body descended into the valley, its six eyes, burning with furious flames, instantly sweeping across the entire area.

They immediately locked onto Dai Yuntian, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone platform, surrounded by a deep purple soul ring.

Seeing the human boy absorbing the soul rings of its subjects, and combined with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's aggrieved and angry cries just now, the Crimson King's anger instantly reached its peak.

"Despicable humans! Not only do they hunt soul beasts, but they also dare to humiliate auspicious beasts! They deserve to die!"

The Crimson King's central head suddenly opened its massive maw, unleashing a torrent of hellfire powerful enough to melt gold and burn stone, which surged directly toward the unsuspecting Dai Yuntian.

If this attack hits, not to mention Dai Yuntian who is currently absorbing a spirit ring, even a titled Douluo in his prime would either die or be crippled!
Seeing this, Zhu Yun'er was devastated: "No—! My Yun'er!"

"Third brother!"

Dai Yueheng cried out in alarm, but was suppressed by the terrifying pressure of the Crimson King and was unable to provide timely assistance!

At this critical moment.

A fiery red figure resolutely rushed in front of Dai Yuntian, facing the destructive flames with its slender back.

And she was none other than Ma Xiaotao!
"Phoenix possessed!"

She forcefully unleashed all her soul power in an attempt to resist.

However, under the furious attack of the Crimson King, who had cultivated for 300,000 years, her defenses shattered instantly, like paper.

"puff--!"

In an instant, the hellfire engulfed Ma Xiaotao's figure.

She fell heavily beside Dai Yuntian like a kite with a broken string, her body charred black, her breath instantly weakened to the extreme, barely clinging to life.

Before her consciousness completely sank into darkness, Ma Xiaotao used up her last bit of strength.

With difficulty, she raised her trembling hand and gently stroked Dai Yuntian's warm cheek, her eyes filled with regret and reluctance, as she murmured weakly:

"Little one...you must...grow up well...I said I'd take you to Shrek...I'm afraid...I'll have to break my promise..."

Before she could finish speaking, her hand fell limply to her side, and she lost consciousness completely.
