Soul Beast Prepared by Di Tian

Di Tian and Bijie silently watched Lin Yun's movements, not speaking to interrupt his train of thought.

After retracting his Martial Soul, Lin Yun's right arm returned to normal, though his already tattered clothes had become even worse.

Seeing this, Bijie thoughtfully produced a white feathered robe from somewhere and draped it over Lin Yun.

"You've been considerate." Lin Yun smiled faintly as he looked at the robe on his body.

It was not that he did not want to say more, but as an existence of brutality and conquest, the Golden Dragon King's persona did not allow for overly flamboyant words or expressions.

Bijie smiled lightly. "It is this subordinate's duty."

After giving Bijie an approving glance, Lin Yun turned to Di Tian. "Di Tian, I just examined myself. My reincarnation was very thorough. Other than the power in my bloodline gradually being unlocked, I am no different from an ordinary human."

"Whether it is lifespan or Martial Soul, do you understand what that means?"

"Honored One, this subordinate understands!" Di Tian sighed, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes. "Honored One's Soul Power Level has reached a bottleneck and requires a Soul Ring. I will find a Soul Beast suitable for Honored One and have it offer up its Soul Ring for Honored One to absorb."

Lin Yun smiled faintly, and a trace of pure Dragon's Might flashed across his body before vanishing. "Back then, the human gods waged war against us over conflicts of interest. Later, they restricted the path for beast gods to ascend, turning Douluo Continent completely into a cage."

"But rest assured, I will personally shatter this cage and twist off the heads of those human gods one by one!"

The Golden Dragon King's attributes were the purest strength and destruction. They were the most basic and fundamental of all powers. Even within Star Dou Great Forest, there were not many Soul Beasts that met Lin Yun's requirements for a Soul Ring.

And Di Tian would naturally find the very best one for Lin Yun.

"Found it!" Di Tian's right hand instantly transformed into a pitch-black dragon claw and tore fiercely at a mountain peak. The several-hundred-meter-tall mountain was shredded apart by a single claw, revealing a seal buried beneath its base.

The seal was covered in black energy and carried intense Power of Space. Such distinctive power had naturally been placed there by Di Tian himself.

Through the seal, they could vaguely see the strange giant beast imprisoned within. It resembled a hippopotamus, yet had fangs and claws, a burly body, and fur covering its entire body.

"Fortunately, I did not kill you outright back then and instead sealed you here. Otherwise, I truly would have missed out on a valuable resource."

With a sweep of his hand, Di Tian's dark Soul Power wrapped around the giant beast, tore open space, and rapidly headed toward Lake of Life.

By the lake.

Lin Yun sat casually on a rock, his feet immersed in the clear lake water brimming with life force as he idly stirred it, sending ripples across the tranquil surface.

Bijie was the same. Though she did not place her bare jade-like feet into the water as Lin Yun had, a large school of lively fish had gathered around her.

In contrast, the fish around Lin Yun had all fled to Bijie, who was filled with the aura of life, because they feared the faint Dragon's Might emanating from him.

Seeing this, Lin Yun's face darkened as he glared at the fish with unfriendly eyes.

Old Di, I want fish for dinner tonight.

Di Tian:???

Bijie burst into laughter. Upon sensing Lin Yun's sharp gaze, she quickly covered her red lips, though the amusement in her eyes and brows remained impossible to hide.

Our Honored One's body has become that of a human child. Why does his personality seem to have become a little childish as well? Bijie secretly laughed to herself.

Still, that was as far as she dared to complain in private. If she had to tease Lin Yun to his face, she would not dare.

The Golden Dragon King's dignity was not something she could offend.

Lin Yun curled his lips and turned away, not bothering to argue with Bijie any further.

He was currently wondering what kind of Soul Beast Di Tian would bring back for him.

A Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear? A Titan Giant Ape?

Or perhaps a pure-blooded dragon-type Soul Beast?

Any of them were possible.

Just as Lin Yun's thoughts began to wander, Di Tian descended from the sky with a massive black shadow and landed lightly not far from him.

"Honored One, I have brought back your Soul Ring." Di Tian bowed as he spoke.

Di Tian did not need to explain. Lin Yun immediately understood that this Soul Beast had been prepared for him. His gaze was instantly drawn to it, and after examining the bizarre-looking Soul Beast for quite some time, he asked uncertainly.

"This is... a Behemoth? Douluo Continent has a Soul Beast like this?" Lin Yun looked bewildered.

According to Lin Yun's memories, among all the books set in that certain someone's universe, Behemoths only existed in Cannon Emperor's world, where there had been a Purple Gold Behemoth.

But he had never heard of Behemoths existing on Douluo Continent!

"Honored One has sharp eyes. This is indeed a Behemoth, and most likely the only Behemoth on Douluo Continent," Di Tian explained.

Only after Di Tian's explanation did Lin Yun understand this creature's origins.

This Behemoth had not come from a Behemoth clan. It was a Soul Beast with Behemoth bloodline that had been extraordinarily fortunate enough to awaken the Behemoth power buried deep within its bloodline, evolving into a Behemoth through atavism.

It was the only one.

More than ten thousand years ago, when Sky Dream Ice Silkworm crossed the sea to Star Dou Great Forest, only to be captured by the Star Dou Fierce Beasts led by Di Tian and imprisoned at Lake of Life as a rechargeable battery, this Behemoth had happened to appear.

Tang San had not even been born at that time.

Behemoths fed on dragons, and their powerful race even surpassed the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear.

When Di Tian and Zi Ji had gone off the beaten path on one occasion to lay dragon eggs, they happened to discover this Behemoth scavenging within the Hell Demon Dragon's territory.

Di Tian had originally wanted to kill it outright, but considering that it might be the only Behemoth on Douluo Continent, he forcibly suppressed the disgust his bloodline felt toward Behemoths and sealed it away.

This Behemoth was three thousand three hundred years old. Its full name was Mad Blood Behemoth, and it was a madman that completely disregarded its life in battle.

Uh, although saying this was somewhat disrespectful, Di Tian felt that it could not be more suitable for Lin Yun.

Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears could be found anytime, and those with higher cultivation could be arranged whenever needed, but there was only one Behemoth.

With the innate strength of the Golden Dragon King Bloodline, combined with Life Gold's transformation over the past three years, the limitation that ordinary Soul Masters could only absorb hundred-year Soul Rings simply did not apply to Lin Yun. Even a three-thousand-three-hundred-year Behemoth Soul Ring could be absorbed by him with ease.

This was the first Soul Ring Di Tian had prepared for Lin Yun.

"Not bad. You have done very well. I am quite satisfied with this Soul Ring!" Lin Yun nodded sincerely.

Since Di Tian said he could absorb a three-thousand-three-hundred-year Soul Ring, what was there for him to fear?

He just needed to do it.

After having Di Tian loosen the seal enough to create an opening, Lin Yun transformed his right hand into a golden dragon claw and slapped the Behemoth to death in one blow.

A noble purple Soul Ring gradually condensed above its corpse.
