The Ferocious Beasts Submit, the Scarlet King Faces His Heavenly Tribulation
After a hundred years, the immortal herbs had long since matured.
Di Tian's black claws emerged, and he swept all twelve immortal herbs into his possession.
Of course, he did not pull the immortal herbs out by their roots. Perhaps a thousand years from now, they could rise again.
"Di Tian, please, give me one immortal herb! Please...!" The Myriad Demon King watched the immortal herbs slip away before his eyes, frantic.
As a Soul Beast with the Ultimate Wood attribute, he knew all too well how valuable these immortal herbs were.
Whether it was the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass... or any of the others, which one would not cause a stir wherever it appeared?
Perhaps only the Scarlet King and Xiong Jun, those hotheads, could not see it, because they did not understand.
But who was the Myriad Demon King?
His true form was a Demon-Eyed Tree.
How could he not know how precious these immortal herbs were?
"Submit to me!" Di Tian wasted no words, uttering only those few.
At the same time, his Eclipse Purple Moon Soul Core kept swelling, the vast Dark attribute Soul Power within it seeming ready to spill out.
If Di Tian had been extending goodwill to the Scarlet King and the Myriad Demon King last time, this time he was threatening them outright.
The Myriad Demon King fell silent, faced with Di Tian's indifferent gaze and the Dark Soul Power on the verge of bursting forth.
He was certain that if he refused today, Di Tian would kill him.
"I... I'm willing, but could you give me an immortal herb?"
The Myriad Demon King compromised, for the sake of the immortal herbs and his own life.
"Of course. Decide which immortal herb you want within three days. You get only one."
Di Tian then shifted his gaze to the Scarlet King in the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. "Still playing dead?"
By now, the Scarlet King had long since entered the pool and begun cultivating.
How could he miss the opportunity presented by the hot spring nurtured by the Fire Dragon King?
The moment he made contact, he sensed the Ultimate Fire energy. The Scarlet King was a Three-Headed Scarlet Demon Mastiff Ferocious Beast with a thin trace of true dragon blood, and sensing his ancestor's presence had left him utterly stunned.
The Scarlet King was beside himself with excitement, constantly suckling like a greedy infant...
As for Di Tian's threat to the Myriad Demon King, he had naturally heard it. For a moment, even the circulation of his Soul Power became somewhat unnatural as he cultivated.
But he intended to give Di Tian the silent treatment and gain a little more time to cultivate.
Suddenly, however, he felt a tremendous force upon him. It was one of Di Tian's hands.
It had reached into the pool and pulled him out in one grab, and Di Tian stared at him with an indifferent gaze.
Di Tian said nothing, but the Scarlet Mastiff already understood what he had in mind.
He stood quietly like a quail, one head glancing at the Myriad Demon King out of the corner of its eye. Seeing him nod slightly, he understood that the Myriad Demon King had already submitted to Di Tian.
What was he still hesitating for?
The Scarlet King immediately cupped his hands and said, "Di Tian, I'm willing to contribute to the revival of the Soul Beasts, but... could you let me cultivate in this fire pool for half a year?"
"You may."
"You two can rest and recuperate here today. Oh, right, this immortal herb is for you. Break through to three hundred thousand years of cultivation as soon as possible, and I'll help you form a Soul Core."
As he spoke, Di Tian tossed the Infernal Delicate Apricot straight to the Scarlet King.
The Scarlet King's current cultivation was exactly two hundred and ninety thousand years. With this immortal herb, he would surely break through within the next few days and even surpass three hundred thousand years of cultivation with ease.
As for the three-hundred-thousand-year heavenly tribulation, he could help with that. It was no problem at all.
The Scarlet King's eyes went wide as he looked at the fire-attribute immortal herb.
Di Tian had released the immortal herb, and its energy was no longer concealed. Only then did the Scarlet King understand why the Myriad Demon King wanted one.
The Myriad Demon King, standing nearby, was green with envy. "Eat it, quickly!" he urged the Scarlet King.
Drool poured from all three of the Scarlet King's heads, and he swallowed it whole.
At once, a warm sensation spread through his body.
The immortal herb seemed to transform into blood and flow through his body in an instant, nourishing his inner essence and greatly increasing his Soul Power.
It was a perfect match!
His cultivation rose with it, like a boat lifted by rising waters.
The Scarlet King was just about to stabilize his cultivation when he heard a rumble~!!
The heavenly tribulation arrived with the sound.
The Scarlet King's three heads looked at the tribulation lightning, as thick as a lightning dragon. There was not a trace of fear in his eyes; instead, he grew even more excited!
Just now, he had discovered that the Infernal Delicate Apricot had given him too much energy to expend all at once. Wasn't this lightning tribulation perfect for tempering him?
"Come on!" the Scarlet King shouted with all three mouths, quietly waiting for the heavenly tribulation to descend. All three heads continually gathered Soul Power, waiting for the heavenly lightning to fall so he could fight it.
Seeing this, Di Tian nodded. Good, it seemed he would not even need to intervene.
So he moved on to the next matter.
The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's bloodline resonated.
He transmitted a thought: Bring a Soul Ancestor with a plant Martial Soul and one with a fire-type Beast Martial Soul to the Sunset Forest.
Meanwhile, in a forested mountain somewhere on the Douluo Continent.
Tuo Ba Yun, who was engaged in vigorous exercise, hastily opened his eyes.
Sensing the message in his mind,
he kicked the beauty in sheer purple robes away from his side and stood up!
"Sect Master, what's wrong?"
The beauty on the bed looked at Tuo Ba Yun with a resentful expression. She was none other than Long Aoyang.
Ever since she had obtained the Hell Demon Dragon Martial Soul, she felt that her fertility seemed to have declined as well.
She and the Sect Master had carried on for two hundred years without conceiving a single child. Lin Wanqing, on the other hand, had already been pregnant twice.
So Long Aoyang was quite frustrated by Tuo Ba Yun's sudden interruption.
Tuo Ba Yun's expression, however, was grave. Still ignoring her resentment, he merely said a few words in an even tone: "The ancestor has sent a message."
At that, Long Aoyang did not dare let out another peep. Her expression turned solemn, and she hurriedly dressed and stood shoulder to shoulder with Tuo Ba Yun.
"What did the ancestor say?"
"The ancestor told me to find two people and take them to see him."
"Who?"
"A Soul Ancestor with a plant Martial Soul and one with a fire-type Beast Martial Soul."
"That's easy enough."
"Indeed."
Tuo Ba Yun sorted out the instructions in his mind and headed straight for the mountain behind the sect.
After two hundred years of development, Black Dragon Mountain had long since grown into a formidable force. It had spent many years recruiting lower-ranked sects for this very moment.
He soon found people who met the requirements and sped away with them.
The ancestor's coordinates had already appeared in his mind.
The Ice and Fire Poles Eye.
Although the two Soul Ancestors beside him were puzzled, they knew their opportunity had come—an opportunity personally bestowed by a Super Douluo.
Inside the Ice and Fire Poles Eye.
With the help of the Infernal Delicate Apricot, the Scarlet King had successfully passed his heavenly tribulation and refined a good deal of the herb's energy.
Thanks to the heavenly tribulation and the immortal herb, his cultivation had now reached three hundred and fifty thousand years.
The striking effect made all three of the Scarlet King's heads burst out laughing. He hammered his chest fiercely and roared at the sky, "Again!"
But the heavenly tribulation had passed, and there was no response.
The sight left the Myriad Demon King speechless with shock.
He thought, Just as I thought, just as I thought, this is the power of an immortal herb!!!
"All right, go cultivate in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well," Di Tian said, interrupting the Scarlet King's frenzy.
Only then did the two quiet down and enter the pool.
The pure energies of ice and fire constantly lashed their bodies. As Ferocious Beasts, one with three hundred and fifty thousand years of cultivation and the other a Demon-Eyed Tree with three hundred and eighty thousand years of cultivation, they could both withstand the power of ice and fire.
They soon adapted.
So the next day, Di Tian and Bi Ji taught the two the Soul Core technique, again starting with the formation of a vortex.
After a brief explanation, they left the two to work it out through trial and error.
It was a necessary part of forming a Soul Core.
After arranging everything, Di Tian went ashore, his gaze turning cold as he sensed the dark presence outside the forest.
He knew Tuo Ba Yun was on his way.
