Three Drops of Lifebound Essence Blood
"Build up our own faction?"
Bi Ji and Zi JI were somewhat bewildered.
Even if they were building up a human faction, surely they didn't need to use their own Lifebound Essence Blood to do it?
Wasn't the price far too high?
Every drop of a Soul Beast's Lifebound Essence Blood cost it the equivalent of more than fifty thousand years of cultivation.
And the stronger the Soul Beast, the greater the price it paid.
Di Tian, for example, had just lost a full hundred thousand years from his seven hundred thousand years of cultivation.
But both women were Di Tian's trusted confidantes, one his wife and the other his admirer and disciple. After hesitating for only a few seconds, they each condensed a drop of Lifebound Essence Blood.
"Husband, whatever you do, I'm willing to support you," Bi Ji said firmly, her face turning pale.
She understood what Di Tian had in mind, but she didn't understand what good building up a human faction would do.
Ultimately, it couldn't truly help them Soul Beasts, but she still chose to trust him.
Bi Ji walked toward the woman whose Martial Soul was a Blackwater Duck.
She smiled gently. "What's your name? Your Martial Soul is compatible with mine. If you swallow this drop of my Lifebound Essence Blood, your Martial Soul will evolve!"
"Really, my lord? My name is Lin Wanqing. I'll swallow it right now. Please don't kill me, my lord, please don't kill me! I'm willing to do anything!"
When Lin Wanqing saw the drop of Lifebound Essence Blood, brimming with vast energy, she showed not the slightest fear. Instead, madness appeared in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Zi JI had also finished condensing her Lifebound Essence Blood. But she had the lowest cultivation, and as soon as she finished, she began coughing violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Bi Ji's vast life energy immediately surged out to heal her.
Zi JI raised a hand gently. "Mistress, I'm fine. Let's attend to the important business first."
With that, she carried the floating drop of Lifebound Essence Blood over to the woman in purple.
The woman in purple had already sensibly dropped to her knees and cupped her hands. "My name is Long Aoyang. Thank you for this blessing, my lord."
"Take it." Compared with Bi Ji, Zi JI was much colder. She simply held out the Lifebound Essence Blood, her gaze icy as she quietly waited for the woman before her to swallow it.
Without the slightest hesitation, Long Aoyang swallowed it in one gulp.
Vast energy spilled out in purple light.
With that, all three human Soul Kings had received the Lifebound Essence Blood of the three Ferocious Beasts.
They began to fuse with it.
Tuo Ba Yun was the first. He fused with the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon's Lifebound Essence Blood before the others, and his Martial Soul immediately mutated. Even his hair turned jet-black.
His Martial Soul grew several times larger, transforming directly from a White-Armored Earth Dragon into a Golden-Eyed Black Dragon.
More terrifying still, his Soul Power Level instantly rose to Soul Saint, and he gained his Martial Soul Avatar on the spot.
Seeing such enormous benefits, the resentment in his eyes turned entirely to excitement. He dropped to his knees once more. "Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!"
He kowtowed to Di Tian again and again.
Next, the other two women's Martial Souls both evolved, becoming an Emerald Swan and a Hell Demon Dragon, respectively. Their strength fell a little short of Tuo Ba Yun's, but both reached the rank of level 69 Soul Emperor, only one step away from becoming Soul Saints.
Like Tuo Ba Yun, both women immediately knelt and gave thanks after finishing their absorption.
Di Tian raised a hand slightly and said:
"Get up. From today onward, all three of you will stay in the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate. You may leave once you become Titled Douluo."
"Tuo Ba Yun, from now on, you will be their husband. The three of you must pass on one another's Martial Souls together and establish a sect."
"Understood, Master." The three nodded respectfully once more. Tuo Ba Yun was especially excited; he had gained two beautiful wives for nothing.
And so, all three stayed in the Star Dou Great Forest. With the protection of Di Tian, Zi JI, and Bi Ji, as well as the support of the Star Dou Great Forest's various resources, their strength continued to grow.
They even obtained some of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's energy.
As for their Soul Rings, with the help of the three Ferocious Beasts, every one of them was the best of the best.
As for Soul Bones and External Soul Bones, each of them had gathered at most half a set.
Hunting Soul Beasts in the core region so many times naturally drew the attention of Xiong Jun, the Myriad Demon King, and the Scarlet King, who had at one point wanted to kill them.
But after Di Tian stepped in and explained, the three Ferocious Beasts could only slink away, saying no more about killing them.
And so, Di Tian's plan to go to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was delayed.
Di Tian and the others returned to the vicinity of the Lake of Life, where he absorbed Tian Meng's power alongside Bi Ji and Zi JI.
A hundred years passed in the blink of an eye.
Tuo Ba Yun cultivated the fastest. Under Di Tian's devilish training, he had actually become a Titled Douluo twenty years earlier.
Now, he had even become a Super Douluo.
But because Lin Wanqing's Martial Soul was the Emerald Swan, she had no means of protecting herself, so she had to wait until she had cultivated to the rank of Titled Douluo.
And today marked the hundred-year deadline. The other two had both cultivated to the rank of Titled Douluo as well.
At that moment, Tuo Ba Yun stood respectfully beside Di Tian with the two women.
Though he was a Super Douluo, he showed not a trace of arrogance.
"Master, there are now few people on the continent who can match me. I wish to leave the Star Dou Great Forest and establish a faction to safeguard your future path to taking human form."
After absorbing the three Ferocious Beasts' Lifebound Essence Blood, the three of them had long since pledged their allegiance to Di Tian and the others.
They all knew about such secrets as Di Tian's plan to establish a faction.
"Mm, very well. Your strength is passable now. Protect them when you go out, and carry on your bloodlines."
"Understood, Master. I'll travel the world under the name Tuo Ba Yun and establish a super faction, Black Dragon Mountain, within the next hundred years."
Soul Masters in Douluo I had rather long lifespans. Upon becoming a Titled Douluo, one could live for three hundred years, and every level gained afterward added another hundred years. A Super Douluo could live for over a thousand years.
"Go." Di Tian spoke indifferently, then turned and left with Bi Ji and Zi JI.
Tuo Ba Yun, Long Aoyang, and Lin Wanqing all knelt on the ground.
Then they turned and left the Star Dou Great Forest.
After the three left,
Di Tian once again took Zi JI and Bi Ji out of the Star Dou Great Forest. His goal was still the Ice and Fire Poles Eye in the Sunset Forest.
Their encounter with Tuo Ba Yun and the other two had delayed him for a hundred years. He hoped Dugu Bo hadn't destroyed the Immortal Herbs yet.
All three were beings at the Ferocious Beast level, and in just a few hours, they arrived at the Sunset Forest.
