Backup Hidden Energy Activated!

"You think Teleportation means you can escape? How naive!"

As soon as the words fell, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's eerie third eye suddenly lit up. The Power of Destiny surged forth, locking onto Lin Tianyi and Qian Renxue.

The smile on Lin Tianyi's little face instantly froze.

Damn! I forgot this thing has the Power of Destiny!!

In the unseen darkness, Lin Tianyi felt as though something had locked onto him. No matter how he struggled, he could not break free.

Qian Renxue felt the same way.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked smugly at Lin Tianyi.

"Let's see how you run now. Teleportation won't help you!"

Lin Tianyi stared solemnly at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then turned to glance at the Guardian Puppet behind him, whose left arm had already been severed.

A ruthless, crazed gleam flashed through his eyes.

Fine, fine, fine. Since you won't let me live, then none of us will live!!

He immediately shouted toward the battered Guardian Puppet behind him.

"Number One, get closer to me!!"

Upon receiving the command, Number One immediately blasted Scarlet King back with all his strength, then shot toward him. Scarlet King pursued relentlessly.

The distance between Number One and Lin Tianyi rapidly closed.

Two thousand meters... fifteen hundred meters... one thousand meters... nine hundred meters... eight hundred meters... six hundred meters... five hundred meters...

Scarlet King stayed tightly on Number One's heels, the two less than ten meters apart.

The cold, vicious light in Lin Tianyi's eyes suddenly intensified.

Xianxian, I'm not giving back the Guardian Puppet you lent me!!

"Number One, activate Backup Hidden Energy!!!"

Blood-red light flared in Number One's eyes. He immediately stopped, turned around, and spread his remaining right arm, tightly embracing the charging Scarlet King without leaving the slightest gap.

The instinct of a ferocious beast was triggered, and an overwhelming sense of danger flooded Scarlet King's heart.

Danger! Danger!! Danger!!!

Scarlet King was horrified.

"What are you doing!!!"

There was no answer. Number One's entire body instantly erupted with a terrifying aura as all his energy violently compressed! Expanded! Exploded!

BOOM!!!!!!

A terrifying energy storm, like the explosion of a nuclear bomb, instantly swept across the skies above the Star Dou Great Forest.

An explosion more terrifying and deafening than ten thousand thunderclaps resounded between heaven and earth!

"No!!!!!"

Scarlet King let out a shrill, despairing howl.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's sense of danger was also warning her, but the energy storm produced by the explosion was far too swift. She had no power to escape.

Though she was five hundred meters from the center of the blast, this was a self-destruction comparable to that of a Level 95 Titled Douluo!!

Before the terrifying energy storm and scorching heat could engulf them, Lin Tianyi tightly embraced the horrified Qian Renxue and activated Teleportation.

He teleported behind the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Using the Three-Eyed Golden Lion as a meat shield, he reduced the damage as much as possible.

At the same time, he grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with one hand and used all his Soul Power to unleash a Greater Teleportation.

This time, all of his Level 18 Soul Power was completely drained, in exchange for moving another three hundred meters away from the blast center.

He had underestimated the explosion's power. If he could avoid it, he naturally did not want to die.

BOOM!!!

The energy storm and scorching heat instantly swallowed Lin Tianyi, Qian Renxue, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

As the meat shield, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion bore the greatest impact. She was blasted away, coughing blood as pained screams and wails escaped her mouth.

Qian Renxue, meanwhile, desperately shielded Lin Tianyi. Using her back and six wings to help block the damage for him, she simultaneously unleashed her Fourth Soul Skill, Angel's Protection.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, hurled away by the shockwave, crashed into Qian Renxue. Angel's Protection lasted less than a second before completely shattering.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion slammed into Qian Renxue, delivering a heavy blow to her back and making her cough up blood.

Lin Tianyi, in front of her, was struck by the aftermath. With his Soul Power completely exhausted, even with a physique comparable to a Soul Elder's, he violently spat out blood. His vision went dark, and he fell completely unconscious.

Under the force of the energy shockwave, Lin Tianyi, Qian Renxue, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were blasted a thousand meters away.

They all crashed down from the sky. If not for the dense trees serving as a buffer, they would have been smashed to death and turned into piles of mangled flesh.

Thud! Thud!! Thud!!!

Three dull impacts rang out in succession. As the weakest among them, Lin Tianyi happened to land atop the soft Three-Eyed Golden Lion, using her as a cushion and suffering the lightest fall.

At the same time, Lin Tianyi's forehead happened to touch the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's third eye, the Eye of Destiny.

The unconscious Lin Tianyi felt nothing, but the still-conscious Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt her mind tremble slightly.

Her third eye in particular went faintly numb, and a strange sensation arose.

In his unconsciousness, Lin Tianyi only felt as though his spirit had crossed through countless ages. His consciousness appeared within a dense, sprawling forest.

Suddenly, everything around him turned golden. The brilliant gold even transformed the plants touched by its light into the same color.

These plants grew wildly at an astonishing speed, while a colorful egg with gold as its base color appeared on the ground.

A crisp cracking sound rang out. A crack appeared on the surface of the golden egg and rapidly spread. With a crack, a tiny claw poked out of the shell, followed closely by a little head.

Its golden fur was somewhat sparse, making it look like a little puppy. It struggled to crawl out of the eggshell, then turned back and began eating the shell bite by bite.

Crisp crunching sounds continued to ring out, and a faint golden glow began to appear around the puppy-like little beast.

Suddenly, a brilliant golden light descended from the sky, like a pillar of light connecting heaven and earth, directly enveloping the little "puppy" that had just finished eating its shell.

The mucus on the little puppy's body gradually vanished beneath the golden light.

In the blink of an eye, its body grew from one foot long to one meter long. Its golden fur became translucent like crystal, while dazzling golden light spread outward in rings of radiance.

It raised its head and let out a somewhat shrill roar toward the sky.

The little puppy's forehead suddenly split open, and an eye that seemed capable of seeing through heaven and earth appeared.

Once the scene in Lin Tianyi's consciousness reached this point, everything began accelerating. Countless images frantically surged through his mind.

In an instant, it was as though he had experienced thousands of years. A vast number of simple memory fragments continuously flashed by, with nearly every setting being within a dense forest.

At the same time, memories of Lin Tianyi's past also appeared in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's mind: more than twenty years of modern memories from his previous life, as well as six years of memories since crossing over to Douluo Continent.

However, all memories concerning the system were completely blocked, leaving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion unaware of them.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was, after all, a powerful soul beast. Even after taking the main force of the blast, she still survived, though she was covered in wounds.

Her entire body of golden fur had been charred black by the extreme heat, turning her from an elegant golden beast into a pitch-black one.

After a while, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion opened her eyes. She groaned in pain and struggled to rise, only to discover a human child lying on her stomach.

Recognizing him as Lin Tianyi, cold killing intent instantly surged into her somewhat unfocused golden beast eyes.

She suddenly raised her sharp claw and viciously swung it down at the unconscious Lin Tianyi's head, determined to shatter it with one strike...
