The Soul Beast Di Tian Prepared

Di Tian and Bijie silently watched Lin Yun's movements without speaking to interrupt his thoughts.

After retracting his martial soul, Lin Yun's right arm returned to normal, though his already tattered clothes were now even worse off.

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

"You're thoughtful." Lin Yun smiled faintly as he looked at the white-feathered robe around him.

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

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

After giving Bijie an approving glance, Lin Yun turned to Di Tian. "Di Tian, I just took stock of things. My reincarnation was very thorough. Aside from 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, I understand!" Di Tian sighed, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes. "Your Soul Power Level has now reached its bottleneck, and you require a Soul Ring. I will find a soul beast suitable for you and have it offer up its Soul Ring for you to absorb."

Lin Yun smiled lightly as a trace of pure Dragon's Might flashed across his body and vanished. "Back then, the human gods launched a war against us over disputes of interest. Afterwards, they even restricted the path of advancement for beast gods, turning the Douluo Continent into a prison."

"But rest assured. I will personally shatter this prison and twist off those human gods' heads one by one!"

The Golden Dragon King's attributes were the purest strength and destruction. They were the most fundamental and essential of all powers. Even within the Star Dou Great Forest, there were not many soul beasts that could meet Lin Yun's Soul Ring requirements.

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

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

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

Through the seal, one could vaguely see that what was imprisoned inside was a strange giant beast resembling a hippopotamus, yet with fangs and sharp claws, a muscular body, and fur covering its entire body.

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

With a wave of his hand, Di Tian's dark Soul Power swept up the giant beast, tore open space, and sped toward the Lake of Life.

By the lakeside.

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

Bijie was the same. Though she did not extend her bare jade-like feet into the water as Lin Yun did, 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 life energy, because they feared the faint Dragon's Might emanating from him.

Seeing this, Lin Yun's face darkened as he fixed the fish with an unfriendly stare.

Old Di, I want fish for dinner tonight.

Di Tian: ???

Bijie burst out laughing, but upon noticing Lin Yun's sharp gaze, she hurriedly covered her red lips. Even so, the amusement in her eyes could not be concealed.

Our Honored One's body has turned into that of a human child. Why does it seem like his personality has become a little childish too? Bijie secretly chuckled to herself.

Still, she would only dare grumble about it in her heart. If she were actually asked to tease Lin Yun to his face, she would never dare.

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

Lin Yun curled his lip and turned away, not bothering to argue with Bijie 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?

All were possible.

Just as Lin Yun's thoughts were running wild, Di Tian descended from the sky with a massive black shadow, landing lightly not far from him.

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

Without Di Tian needing to tell him, Lin Yun knew this was the soul beast prepared for him. His gaze was immediately drawn to it. After studying the strange-looking soul beast for quite some time, he finally asked uncertainly.

"This is... a Behemoth? The Douluo Continent has soul beasts like this?" Lin Yun was somewhat bewildered.

According to Lin Yun's memories, among all the books set in that certain someone's universe, only Cannon Emperor's universe had Behemoths, and that one was a Purple Gold Behemoth.

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

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

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

This Behemoth had not originally been a member of a Behemoth clan. It was a soul beast carrying Behemoth bloodline that had been extraordinarily fortunate enough to awaken the Behemoth power deep within its bloodline. Its bloodline had reverted to its ancestors, evolving it into a Behemoth.

It was the only one.

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

Tang San had not even been born at the time.

Behemoths fed on dragons, and their powerful species was even stronger than Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bears.

When Di Tian and Zi Ji had gone somewhat farther afield on one occasion to lay dragon eggs, they happened to discover this Behemoth mooching about in Hell Demon Dragon territory.

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

This Behemoth was three thousand three hundred years old. Its full name was the Mad Blood Behemoth, a lunatic that fought with complete disregard for its life.

Uh, although saying so was a little offensive, Di Tian felt that it could not have been more suitable for Lin Yun.

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

The Golden Dragon King Bloodline was inherently powerful, and after three years of transformation by Life Gold, the restriction 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 Lin Yun with ease.

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

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

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

He just had to do it.

After having Di Tian loosen the seal enough to leave 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.
