Being the king of Soul Beast is glamorous, but once they break through the 100,000-year mark, they will face an even greater challenge: the Heavenly Tribulation.

Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast can only live for 1,000 years. After 1,000 years, Heavenly Tribulation will descend, and the survivor can live for another 100,000 years, and so on.

The Scarlet King before them was about to face his Heavenly Tribulation. If he was seriously injured, he would certainly not be able to break through and would most likely die and be completely annihilated.

The Scarlet King's eyes darted away, and he said with a serious expression, "How did you know?"

"How... how did you know?"

The Scarlet King was somewhat surprised. Even Auspicious Beast were unaware of such a tribulation, as it concerned their own life and death. If any threat occurred during the process, death would be their only fate.

Therefore, even the Emperor Auspicious Beast, which he cared about most, was not informed by the Scarlet King, for fear that something might happen that would cause him to be destroyed in the Heavenly Tribulation.

"Don't worry about how I know this, because starting today, you will be Soul Ring Configuration of my disciple."

Lin Yuan shrugged, having had enough fun, and decided to directly destroy the Ferocious Beast Scarlet King in front of him, thereby completely obtaining its Soul Ring and Soul Bone.

After all, a 300,000-year-old Soul Ring and Soul Bone are irresistible to any Soul Master.

Now that Lin Yuan possesses such strength, it's impossible for him to let the Scarlet King leave so easily.

The Scarlet King flew into a rage. "Since you want to kill me, you'd better see if you have the ability. Even if it means self-destruction, I will never allow you humans to obtain my Soul Ring and Soul Bone."

"Stubborn and unyielding."

Lin Yuan, wielding the Asura Demon Sword, instantly appeared before the Scarlet King.

When Lin Yuan got serious, his strength was extremely formidable. With the help of his God-level Martial Soul, he beheaded the Scarlet King with a single sword strike.

The Scarlet King's screams echoed through the sky, and the dark green blood gushing from his severed neck carried a corrosive odor, scorching large patches of blackened ground.

Its remaining two heads roared simultaneously, their bodies radiating a brilliant crimson light. Countless sharp spikes burst forth from the gaps in its scales, making it resemble a moving blood-red fortress as it crashed into Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan lightly touched the ground with his toes, his figure transforming into a blur as he flashed into the air. The Asura Demon Sword drew a silver arc under the moonlight, and the air shrieked as the sword energy passed by.

"Myriad Swords Returning to Origin!"

Lin Yuan pointed his sword at the sky, and the rubble and broken branches within a hundred meters suddenly floated up, drawn by the Asura Demon Sword and condensed into ten thousand sword shadows.

Sensing the danger, the Scarlet King swept out with its massive tail, creating a bloody storm in its wake. However, the sword shadows seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, piercing its defenses from various tricky angles.

Dozens of deep, bone-revealing wounds instantly appeared on the Scarlet King's body, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground beneath his feet red.

"Damn humans, I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"

A crazed light flashed in the eyes of the Scarlet King, which was on the verge of despair. It roared to the sky, and its aura began to surge uncontrollably.

"If you want to self-destruct, you'll have to see if I allow it."

Just as the Scarlet King was about to unleash all his Soul Power to trigger a massive explosion, the Left Arm Soul Bone on Lin Yuan's left arm suddenly lit up.

"Second skill of the Left Arm Soul Bone: Heaven and Earth Reversal, Ancient Rock, Mount Buzhou!"

Lin Yuan suddenly exerted force with his left hand, and a mountain a thousand meters high immediately appeared in mid-air, crashing heavily onto the Scarlet King's body in its astonished gaze.

Like a five-finger mountain, it was pressed directly to the ground, unable to struggle.

The Scarlet King roared and struggled like a madman, but no matter how much strength it used, it was useless in front of Mount Buzhou.

Seeing that he had become a fish on a chopping board, the Scarlet King stopped struggling and began to hurl insults wildly. "Bastards, humans, you all deserve to die, you all deserve to die!"

Lin Yuan put one hand behind his back, glanced at Ye Lingling not far away, and said, "Ling Ling, come and get your Seventh Soul Ring."

Ye Lingling obediently walked over, and looking at the incredibly ferocious Scarlet King before her, she felt a pang of pity and asked, "Teacher, do we really have to kill this Ferocious Beast?"

"Ling Ling, remember this: this world is a dog-eat-dog world where only the fittest survive. I will never decide someone's life or death based on their identity."

"This will only bring you unnecessary trouble, and you'll forget what your teacher once told you."

Ye Lingling bit her lip tightly, nodded, and said, "I remember..."

"My teacher once said that there is no such thing as fairness in this world. Some people are tall, and some are short. Some people have high positions and great power, and some people are born into lowly families. Fairness is just a joke."

"No matter the century, the weak are always slaves to the strong. Even if times change, what changes is only the way of enslavement. Only the victor can define right and wrong. That's how the real world is. To achieve one's goals, any means are acceptable!"

"That's right, this is the Douluo Continent where the strong prey on the weak. If your teacher is no match for him today, do you really think the Scarlet King would let you go?"

The Scarlet King raised his head and immediately said, "I will definitely let you go!"

Lin Yuan kicked the Scarlet King hard on the head with his right foot and cursed, "I don't believe you for a second. If you want to deceive my disciple, you'll have to see if you have the eloquence."

"Don't forget, when we first met, you wanted to kill everyone here. Now you're scared? Don't you think it's a little too late?"

The Scarlet King struggled to break free from the restraints of Mount Buzhou, roaring, "Di Tian! Di Tian, save me!!"

"Brother Lin, could you please let this matter drop for my sake? I'll help you find a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast suitable for Ye Lingling?"

With one hand behind his back, Lin Yuan glanced at the voice in the sky and understood that Di Tian had not yet completely fallen into slumber.

"Brother Di Tian, I can spare the Scarlet King, but I need Soul Beast like the Scarlet King, preferably a healing type. That shouldn't be a problem, right..."

Upon hearing Lin Yuan's words, Di Tian inside Star Lake felt a splitting headache. Although he didn't want to pay attention to this Scarlet King, the Emperor Auspicious Beast Three-Eyed Golden Lion was still extremely important to them as Soul Beast.

"Alright, I promise you, I'll help you find a 300,000-year-old Plant-type Soul Beast as soon as possible. Could you release the Scarlet King for my sake?"

Lin Yuan leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and said softly, "When you find it, I will let the Scarlet King go. After all, the Scarlet King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone are quite suitable for my disciple."

"Impossible!" The Scarlet King bared his teeth, venting his dissatisfaction. "I am of the fire element, and your disciple should be of the wood element. Fire overcomes wood; you should know this principle. Aren't you afraid of it backfiring on you?"

"If you keep making noise, I will crush your other head."

As Lin Yuan's pupils turned blood red, the Scarlet King, who had just thought he had been reborn, instantly became like a larger cat, lying motionless on the ground, as if afraid that Lin Yuan would shatter his skull.
