Soul Power Level Soars and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion

Lin Tianyi gripped the sword hilt tightly with both hands and violently slashed forward and back! Twisted! Stirred!

After a brief scream of agony, the Ground Splitting Beast died completely!

Splat.

Pulling out the Dragon's Roar Sword and taking a step back, Lin Tianyi watched the Soul Ring form with curious eyes.

Countless purple specks of light gathered above the Ground Splitting Beast's corpse, gradually taking the shape of a ring. At first, it looked like foam.

Then, one bubble after another vanished. The purple Soul Ring gradually became solid, finally turning into a flawless purple ring.

Staring intently at the purple Soul Ring above the Ground Splitting Beast's corpse, he vaguely sensed the Dragon's Roar Sword trembling slightly, letting out an excited, exhilarated dragon roar.

Lin Tianyi did not hesitate. He immediately sat cross-legged, and the Dragon's Roar Sword shrank to the size of a palm as it floated above his right hand. Circulating his Soul Power, he guided the purple Soul Ring closer.

As the purple Soul Ring approached, Lin Tianyi could feel the pressure it brought.

When the purple Soul Ring reached above his head, it suddenly contracted, becoming an incomparably solid purple ring no larger than a bracelet.

It slammed onto the Dragon's Roar Sword Martial Soul above Lin Tianyi's right palm!

A scorching current like molten lava burrowed into his right palm, then surged through his right arm and explosively flooded every part of his body like lava released from a dam, searing every inch of flesh and every cell.

That tyrannical, blazing power churned within him. Fortunately, Lin Tianyi's body was tough enough to withstand the ravages of a two-thousand-five-hundred-year Soul Ring.

He guarded his mind and allowed the power to rage. His resilient body was like an unyielding boulder, enduring the battering heat without wavering.

As time passed, that tyrannical, blazing power gradually merged into his body.

At the same time, Lin Tianyi's Soul Power began to boil! Surge! Skyrocket!

Level eleven!

Level twelve!

Level thirteen!

Level sixteen!

Level seventeen!

Level eighteen!

When the last trace of energy from the two-thousand-four-hundred-year Soul Ring had been fully absorbed, Lin Tianyi's Soul Power finally settled at level eighteen!

He abruptly opened his eyes, and a dazzling purple gleam flashed past. Lin Tianyi sprang to his feet.

The palm-sized Dragon's Roar Sword suddenly expanded in his right hand, while a purple Soul Ring appeared around Lin Tianyi's body.

His First Soul Ring was a two-thousand-four-hundred-year Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Across the entire Douluo Continent, no one could compare!

The purple Soul Ring around Lin Tianyi suddenly shone brightly, and the Dragon's Roar Sword radiated a crimson glow as brilliant as a dazzling star.

"First Soul Skill—Earth Splitting Slash!"

The Dragon's Roar Sword slashed diagonally upward, shooting out a crimson sword light over three meters long that viciously cleaved toward the trunk of a giant tree more than three meters thick ahead.

Before the crimson sword light could strike the giant tree's trunk, its bark suddenly split open, exposing the wood inside to the incoming slash.

The crimson sword light instantly passed through the giant tree and struck another giant tree behind it.

Rumble!

A moment later, the two giant trees nearly toppled diagonally at the same time. Their severed surfaces were flat and smooth, without a single splinter.

Looking at his handiwork in satisfaction, Lin Tianyi recalled the Dragon's Roar Sword.

Earth Splitting Slash: An instant-cast Soul Skill. When activated, it released a slash of sword light. Within fifty meters, it possessed maximum power. The sword light had an armor-piercing effect. If the user's Soul Power exceeded the opponent's, it guaranteed armor penetration; if lower, the chance depended on the opponent's Soul Power Level. The higher the opponent's Soul Power, the lower the chance of armor penetration.

Furthermore, absorbing the Ground Splitting Beast's Thousand-Year Soul Ring had, as expected, greatly enhanced the sharpness of the Dragon's Roar Sword.

It could be said that the Ground Splitting Beast's Soul Ring had completely transformed Lin Tianyi's strength.

What delighted him most was that his Soul Power had directly soared to level eighteen. It was simply terrifying! As expected of a Soul Ring over two thousand years old!

Having absorbed the Soul Ring, it was also time to leave the Star Dou Great Forest.

He checked the Ground Splitting Beast's corpse and, as expected, found no soul bone. Lin Tianyi was not disappointed and turned to leave.

Suddenly, a golden figure shot past Lin Tianyi's eyes.

It then crashed through several thick giant trees before falling to the ground in a miserable heap and coughing up blood.

Looking closely, he saw a blonde girl of fifteen or sixteen. She wore a fitted golden outfit that outlined her graceful, elegant curves. The disheveled golden strands over her forehead and the blood staining her full lips added a touch of shattered beauty to her appearance.

She was breathtakingly beautiful. Her brows were like distant mountains brushed with dark dye, and her golden phoenix eyes were imposing and sharp. Her delicate nose stood high, her lips were full and alluring, her features sculpted and profound. Her snow-white neck was elegant, and her skin was pale and delicate like fresh snow, smooth and lustrous like flawless jade.

She was as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Even the greatest painter in the mortal world could not capture one ten-thousandth of her beauty.

Lin Tianyi stared blankly at the Blonde Girl, his black eyes filled with astonishment. What a beautiful girl.

Hmph, I'm angry! (╯‵□′)╯︵┴─┴

Lin Xianxian's sulky, jealous voice rang out in his mind.

Lin Tianyi came back to his senses and was about to coax Lin Xianxian when faint footsteps suddenly sounded.

Tap, tap, tap...

Lin Tianyi could clearly see the Blonde Girl's peerlessly beautiful face turn solemn the instant those footsteps rang out.

Following the sound of the footsteps, his eyes instantly widened in shock.

It was a golden magical beast more than a meter long, its body covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur.

Its entire body seemed to be translucent crystal, filled with an unusual texture. Its overall shape resembled a lion, but its four claws were like a dragon's, and beneath each dragon claw burned a cluster of golden flames.

Its mouth was also somewhat longer than that of a lion-type Soul Beast, and beneath its fur seemed to lie dense golden scales.

Besides its normal pair of eyes, it had a third eye shaped like a vertical pupil.

Its two ordinary eyes shone gold, while the vertical pupil emitted a crimson light tinged with eerie menace.

The Emperor Rui Beast—the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!!!

"Holy shit!!!"

Lin Tianyi's scalp went numb. He had actually encountered the little princess of the entire Star Dou Great Forest. No, I have to leave as soon as possible. I absolutely cannot anger this little ancestor.

With difficulty, he swallowed and slowly backed away.

Yet the three parties were less than twenty meters apart, each able to see the others. At such a tense moment, Lin Tianyi merely moved backward once.

The Blonde Girl and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately fixed their cold, intimidating gazes on Lin Tianyi.

Lin Tianyi gave an awkward smile. "You two carry on fighting. I was just passing through. I'll leave right now."

At that moment, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion spotted the Ground Splitting Beast's corpse by Lin Tianyi's feet. After glancing at it, her gaze returned to Lin Tianyi.

She lazily yawned, then actually spoke in human language.

"Human cub, once I deal with that human girl who dared to hunt me, I'll deal with you—and that inhuman freak behind you."

Using the Eye of Destiny, she had seen at a glance that the tower-like middle-aged man behind Lin Tianyi was not human.

Hearing this, Lin Tianyi looked at the Blonde Girl in disbelief, his eyes seeming to say:

You're really bold. You actually dared to hunt the Emperor Rui Beast. Impressive!

The Blonde Girl glanced at Lin Tianyi. Seeing that he was only a child, her tone softened slightly.

"Have your elder take you and flee. I will do my best to hold back that unusual Soul Beast."
