Feng Ling's expression turned solemn. She knew this was one of the legendary Ferocious Beasts.
"Pretty big sister, help me hold off that three-headed hound. I'll go make contact with that lion dog."
After saying that, Yang Hao rushed toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Feng Ling decisively activated her Martial Soul Avatar and charged at the Ferocious Beast, the Scarlet King, holding him back. Wan Hun and Sleep Nightmare followed Yang Hao, helping suppress the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Yang Hao activated his Cyclops Martial Soul and fused with the Evil Eye in his brow, unleashing a formidable spiritual shockwave.
Though the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was powerful, it was still quite vulnerable to the Evil Eye's spiritual energy, which contained hundreds of thousands of years of the Evil Emperor's power. The shock left her dizzy.
Even her natural resistance to spiritual attacks couldn't fully nullify it. This wasn't an attack, after all; it held no hostility whatsoever. It was simply a shockwave, one that came in a massive, overwhelming dose.
Yang Hao pounced and pressed his forehead against hers, bringing the Evil Eye between his brows into contact with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye.
At that moment, his immense fortune as the Adopted Child of Luck came into play. It reached out to the Power of Fate in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye, becoming a bridge between them.
In an instant, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Power of Fate flowed through the attribute connection into the Evil Eye between Yang Hao's brows. At the same time, Yang Hao guided the power of the Gold of Life into the Evil Eye, condensing it into a piece of Gold of Life to strengthen it and help bear the Power of Fate. Some of the Gold of Life's power also flowed into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"Pretty big sister, let's go!"
Having completed the attribute connection, Yang Hao had no time to sense the changes in himself or the Evil Eye. He called for Feng Ling to retreat. There was no need to fight the Scarlet King to the death.
Feng Ling unleashed a Soul Skill to hold the Scarlet King back for a moment, then quickly reached Yang Hao, scooped him up, and flew away.
"Damn humans!"
The Scarlet King was furious, but when he glanced at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, weak and sprawled on the ground, he could only suppress his murderous intent and go look after her.
They hadn't flown far when Ye Xishui came hurtling toward them.
"Let's go!"
She wrapped her Soul Power around the four of them and sped away from the Star Dou Forest. A deep claw wound, nearly exposing the bone, marred her shoulder—a clear sign that the earlier battle had been no easy one.
"Teacher, how did you get so badly hurt?"
Yang Hao hurriedly guided the power of the Gold of Life into Ye Xishui's body to heal her wounds. He also used its domineering power to dispel the Ultimate Darkness clinging to the injury.
"This time, we found the life force you sensed, and we also made an unexpected discovery. It'll greatly benefit the evolution of your Soul Bone and Cyclops Martial Soul."
Ye Xishui smiled. They had gained a great deal this time, so taking a few injuries was worth it.
Still, Beast God Di Tian hadn't come away unscathed. She'd beaten him until he spat blood. He wouldn't recover without several years of rest.
"Teacher!"
Yang Hao was deeply moved. His teacher treated him so well.
He'd been right to attach himself to her back then. No powerful figure from another faction would have been willing to go to such lengths for him.
Far away in the Divine Realm, Sea God Tang San furrowed his brows. He sensed another fluctuation in the Douluo Plane's fortune. Even fate had become chaotic, impossible to read, and the Child of Luck's fortune had dropped considerably.
"What on earth happened in the Douluo Plane?"
Tang San despised anything beyond his control, especially now that his plans for his daughter were already underway.
"Let's hope you aren't scheming in secret."
He turned to look toward Destruction Castle, home of the Destruction God King, and grew suspicious of him.
There weren't many beings capable of such a feat. In the Divine Realm, only the Five Great God Kings—including himself—could manage it.
Goodness and the Evil God King were on friendly terms with him; neither would do such a thing. The only one with a motive was the Destruction God King.
"Time is too short. It might be better to let Xiao Qi spend a few more years with the Life God King."
Tang San pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a headache coming on.
He'd been paving the way for his daughter for a long time, having her seek out the Life God King. The Life God King and the Destruction God King were husband and wife. They'd always wanted a child, but their opposing origins made it impossible for them to conceive. That was a regret they both carried.
It was also a way in. So he'd arranged for Xiao Qi to spend time with the Life God King, and sure enough, she'd won her affection and even grown close to the Destruction God King.
With that connection in place, he could send Xiao Qi to the Douluo Plane to scheme her way to godhood, while also cultivating the Child of Luck to strengthen their side.
When the time came, the Destruction God King and the Life God King would likely turn a blind eye for Xiao Qi's sake.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time. The Life God King posed no problem, but the Destruction God King was another matter.
The many changes in the Douluo Plane now might well be the Destruction God King's doing.
"Hopefully, those few Divine Thoughts I left behind will handle things properly, help the Child of Luck grow, and help Wu Tong win him over."
Tang San knew the Destruction God King must be keeping a close eye on him. There was nothing he could do about the Douluo Plane now, but fortunately, he had left Divine Thoughts there.
They were in the Sea of Consciousness of Wu Tong, Da Ming, and Er Ming, as well as in Shrek Academy's Golden Ancient Tree, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, and the new Sea God Island.
With those six Divine Thoughts in place, everything would surely be set right, and his plans would come to fruition.
"Too bad we spoiled Xiao Qi. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed to go to such lengths."
Thinking of his daughter's temperament, Tang San felt an even worse headache coming on.
With that personality, she'd be no good at finding a boyfriend, much less keeping the Child of Luck firmly tethered to her. He'd had no choice but to resort to a few methods.
Hopefully, Wu Tong wouldn't blame him when she came back!
Leaving God King Tang San to his thoughts, Ye Xishui took the four of them straight back to the Holy Spirit Cult's headquarters without stopping.
After setting Feng Ling and the others down, she took Yang Hao back to her palace.
"There's something inside him. It contains an immense amount of that life force."
Ye Xishui took a huge turtle out of her Storage Soul Tool. "This is what I found."
She'd followed the life force until she found this Soul Beast. Its concealment was powerful, and an Auspicious Aura cloaked it. Had she not acquired Divine Sense, she would never have found it.
But after knocking it out and storing it away, Di Tian discovered her. They fought, and she tested his strength.
The Beast God was indeed formidable, and he wielded power on a divine level. She'd lost.
Of course, she hadn't used the Rakshasa Demon Scythe or the Angel Holy Sword. The outcome would have been different otherwise.
Bibi Dong's Divine Thought and Qian Renxue's Divine Soul flew out, curiously inspecting the huge turtle. Both their Divine Thought and Divine Soul had grown much fainter, clearly depleted.
An Auspicious Aura cloaked it, but they could still sense a vast life force inside its body.
"Let me see if I can get it out intact."
After inspecting it, Yang Hao manifested his Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone and drove it into the Golden Hawksbill Turtle's eye, devouring what little life force remained, followed by its Soul Power Core.
His Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone had grown immensely powerful, and its ability to devour had naturally grown stronger too.
It didn't take long for the Golden Hawksbill Turtle to be devoured completely. In the end, only a piece of Green Metal remained.
"What a powerful life force."
Qian Renxue was astonished. What exactly was this?
"This is a treasure. Such powerful life force will be enough to nourish our Divine Thoughts and Divine Souls."
Bibi Dong's Divine Thought was thrilled. She immediately brought out the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, ready to split it apart.
"Wait. This kind of thing repels evil attributes. My Soul-Devouring Spider Leg Bone was stripped of its evil attribute, too. It'd be better to use the Angel Holy Sword to split it."
Yang Hao hurriedly stopped her. He didn't dare let her cut it with the Rakshasa Demon Scythe. If something went wrong and she made the thing explode, he didn't know whether the three of them would be harmed, but his frail little body would definitely be finished.
Qian Renxue took out the Angel Holy Sword. It remained unsealed, but its edge was still formidable. She easily cut the Green Crystal into four pieces.
"So it repels evil attributes?"
Bibi Dong's Divine Thought was reluctant to accept it. This thing could definitely restore a great deal of her power.
"Yang Hao found this. You can't just take it for nothing."
Ye Xishui spoke up, making it clear that the treasure belonged to her disciple.
Bibi Dong thought it over. "Little one, I'll separate the Supreme Evil Origin from my Divine Thought and give it to you. With your talent and comprehension, you'll be able to cultivate an Ultimate Evil Attribute. Once you reach level one hundred, you can use this Supreme Evil Origin to comprehend the Heaven and Earth Laws and reach the divine level."
Since the treasure repelled evil attributes, she would separate the Supreme Evil Origin from her Divine Thought and use it to nourish and strengthen herself first.
"Okay!"
Yang Hao didn't refuse. The Supreme Evil Origin was the Rakshasa God's most fundamental power, and it was power on the Main God level. He couldn't let this chance pass him by.
"Take out your Holy Sword."
Qian Renxue didn't hesitate either. She separated out a portion of Supreme Holy Power Origin.
Supreme Holy Power was a law power born from the sublimation of the Ultimate Holy Attribute. It was also one of the Angel God Position's core powers, even more important than the powers of fire and light.
"Thank you, Angel God. Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Yang Hao hurriedly took out his Holy Sword and Demon Blade Martial Soul. Qian Renxue sealed the Supreme Holy Power Origin inside the God Trial imprint on the Holy Sword, while Bibi Dong's Divine Thought sealed the Supreme Evil Origin she'd separated inside the God Trial Mark on the Demon Blade Martial Soul.
Then the two of them each infused their Divine Soul and Divine Thought into a piece of Gold of Life, using its pure life force to nourish and restore themselves.
"Teacher, please take this. One piece is enough for me."
Yang Hao picked up a piece of Gold of Life and handed it to Ye Xishui. He still didn't know how to use the stuff properly, whether it was big or small.
"Judging from its shape just now, it looks as though it was bitten off. And based on what I sensed earlier around the Lake of Life, there must be an even larger piece of this treasure there. We'll go get it if we get the chance."
Yang Hao revealed that another piece of Gold of Life existed. There was no way he'd leave a treasure like that for someone else.
"We'll get it."
Only then did Ye Xishui accept the piece of Gold of Life. Its power would do her a lot of good and help her grow stronger still.
"Take these Soul Bones and devour them. And these Whale Rubbers, too."
Ye Xishui brought out everything they'd gained this time. She dearly hoped her disciple would grow stronger quickly.
"This Soul Bone!"
Yang Hao stared at one of the Soul Bones in shock. The aura it gave off was far stronger than that of the Evil Emperor Eye Soul Bone.
