Crimson King, Eighth of the Ferocious Beasts
As his spiritual power spread, it enveloped the entire bamboo forest, and at the same time, he sensed a special energy flowing through his Divine Sense.
It moved with incredible speed, like a thunderclap, cutting through the silent bamboo forest, leaving a trail of golden lightning in its wake.
"What is that?"
Lin Yuan sat up with some curiosity. After all, this place had its own barrier energy, and even Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast could not enter this place, let alone this small Soul Beast that was only 10,000 years old.
Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing also sat up, asking with puzzled expressions, "Teacher, what's wrong? What happened?"
"This bamboo forest contains the aura of Soul Beast. They must have come here to Soul Beast after we left."
Lin Yuan slowly stood up, gazing at the golden light that was still constantly moving around, and then his body instantly disappeared from the spot.
When it reappeared, it was already in front of the golden light. At the same time, the pressure of the Soul Power emanating from its body made the golden light in front of it feel an unprecedented sense of fear.
It was a golden Soul Beast, no bigger than the palm of your hand, locked in a cage, constantly emitting threatening cries.
The Soul Beast was covered in a layer of brilliant golden fur. The golden fur made its entire body seem like translucent crystal, full of a strange texture.
Its overall shape resembles a lion, but its four claws are like those of a dragon, with a ball of golden flame beneath each claw. Its mouth is also longer than that of lion-type Soul Beast, and beneath its fur, there appear to be fine, dense golden scales.
In addition to its two normal eyes, it also has a third eye, which is shaped like a vertical pupil. While the two normal eyes shimmer with gold, this vertical pupil emits a red hue, a red with an eerie quality.
Looking at the golden Soul Beast in front of him, Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected to encounter the Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, here!
It is said that after the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was born, it became the vessel of the Star Dou Forest's destiny power. It was born with intelligence and was no different from an adult human. It has lived in the Star Dou Forest since.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion that is still alive is over five thousand years old, but it is comparable to an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
According to the original novel, Huo Yuhao's Three-Eyed Golden Lion has only existed for 15,000 years. In other words, the Auspicious Beast that still exist today are either on the verge of death or will be killed by Tang San in 10,000 years.
Thus, new auspicious Auspicious Beast were born and put to use.
Lin Yuan had never expected that there was such a thing as the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Emperor Auspicious Beast, in this world. No wonder it was able to pass through his barrier with ease.
Ye Lingling walked over at this moment, and looking at the Emperor Auspicious Beast in front of her, she asked with some curiosity, "Teacher, what kind of Soul Beast is this? It's so cute."
"This is Emperor Auspicious Beast named Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Soul Beast with the ultimate light attribute. It's just a pity that it's only a little over ten thousand years old and has no way to absorb Soul Ring."
Hearing the teacher's explanation, Ye Lingling became curious and walked over, gently poking the cheek of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with her finger.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion- haired man bared his teeth, but his energy was suppressed by Lin Yuan's Soul Power, leaving him with no ability to escape.
"What an adorable little guy."
Ye Lingling and Zhu Zhuqing, being girls, also really liked these kinds of Soul Beast. Their furry appearance must have felt very comfortable to touch.
Xiao Wu also recognized the identity of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but she did not expect that the Emperor Auspicious Beast would appear here.
Just then, a powerful energy instantly enveloped the area, and a surging sense of oppression swept over, causing Qian Renxue to feel a tearing pain in her head.
Lin Yuan slammed his right foot into the ground, and from the ground centered on him, cracks like a spider web spread outwards, shielding all the energy in the area from the outside world.
"Damn human, how dare you covet the Emperor Auspicious Beast of my Star Dou Forest? Do you really think we can't kill you?!"
From the direction of the bamboo forest in the distance, a huge Soul Beast was seen walking towards them.
It is over five meters long, extremely robust, and somewhat resembles a lion, but it has three identical large heads.
Each head is over a meter in diameter, with terrifying canines gleaming with a reddish-gold luster, giving off an extremely horrifying sense of oppression.
Xiao Wu's pretty face turned pale, seemingly filled with apprehension at the suddenly appearing Soul Beast. She could even sense that this Soul Beast was more powerful than the Sky Azure Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape from before.
"The eighth of the Top Ten Ferocious Beasts, possessing a cultivation level of 300,000, Scarlet King."
The Scarlet King slammed his right foot into the barrier in front of him, and the barrier shattered instantly like glass shards. The resulting hurricane filled the Soul Beast in the area with terror.
Lin Yuan placed one hand behind his back and swung his right hand forward, unleashing a beam of blood-red light that struck the hurricane in front of him, completely annihilating it.
The Scarlet King narrowed his eyes, clearly not expecting that the human before him could break through his hurricane. He then said coldly, "Human, I didn't expect you to have some skill. But don't even think about taking the Emperor Auspicious Beast away from me."
Lin Yuan's right foot landed on the ground again, and his Soul Ring lit up at that moment. The surging energy spread outwards like a raging storm, distorting the air wherever it passed.
Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, gold!
As the seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings and the million-year Soul Ring lit up, the Scarlet King's expression changed slightly, but he still shouted loudly, "Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"
"Seventh Soul Skill, Asura True Body!"
As the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring quietly merged into his body, a huge red phantom appeared directly in the sky above the ground. The sharp Asura Demon Sword tore through the clouds in the sky without hesitation, revealing a pale white light.
Upon seeing this, the Scarlet King roared simultaneously with its three large heads, spewing out crimson-gold flames. Wherever the flames passed, the air was scorched and distorted, sweeping towards Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan smirked, raised his hand, and the blood-red Asura Demon Sword shot into the air, hurtling towards the Scarlet King in front of him.
With a deafening roar, the collision of flames and bloodthirsty energy produced a violent explosion. The powerful shockwave blew away all the surrounding trees and tore the ground into deep, bottomless ravines.
However, the Scarlet King's attack did not end. Its three heads swung simultaneously, and its massive body charged towards Lin Yuan. Its claws, like sharp blades, hurtled towards Lin Yuan's vitals with a sharp whistling sound.
Lin Yuan's figure flashed and he instantly disappeared from his original spot. The next moment, he appeared above the Scarlet King's head, snorted disdainfully, and then kicked out with his foot.
