"Get lost!"
Tang Wulin kicked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion aside, without the slightest trace of pity in his eyes. One after another, they were all acting like mangy dogs. They had really taken him for a pushover!
The Scarlet King was extremely powerful, with a cultivation of over three hundred thousand years. Among humans, his strength was at least equivalent to a Rank-97 soul master!
But just because the other side was strong, did that mean he had to endure it? At worst, he would just die!
When that happened, these soul beasts would not gain the slightest benefit either. Once he died, the natural ecosystem would collapse. With the entire continent buried alongside him, it would be worth it!
Tang Wulin's expression changed. Golden light flared at the center of his brow, and a dragon spear the size of a golden needle rapidly expanded, transforming in the blink of an eye into a spear nearly five meters long.
His bloodline resonated, and the Golden Dragon Spear radiated an incomparably sharp aura. Brilliant golden light erupted from the spear, while the aura of the Golden Dragon King spread from Tang Wulin's body like something born of the primordial wilderness.
Although the Scarlet King was a Three-Headed Red Demon Hound, he had transcended his limitations and raised his cultivation to three hundred thousand years. His bloodline was naturally extraordinary, and he possessed a large portion of the pure True Dragon Bloodline.
At this moment, the bloodline he had always taken pride in began to tremble violently, as though it had encountered an invincible king. An intense urge to submit surged through him. In fact, his bloodline was trembling so violently that it seemed to want to leave his body entirely.
"Who exactly are you?"
"A divine artifact, the Dragon Clan bloodline... Could you be a human transformed from a pure True Dragon?"
The changes in his bloodline, the bloodline's suppression, and the drastic drop in his strength had stripped the Scarlet King of his former dominance and arrogance. Instead, he was left deeply shaken.
Even Di Tian could not possibly achieve this degree of bloodline suppression!
Yet now, a human had actually done it!
How was this possible?!
The Scarlet King found it impossible to believe. After thinking it over, he could only wonder whether this human before him had been transformed from a pure True Dragon.
If he really was a True Dragon in human form, then this was naturally a matter for Di Tian and the Dragon Clan. The Scarlet King only needed to capture him. Once Di Tian returned, he would deal with the matter himself.
"Who am I?"
"I'm your ancestor!"
"If you want to fight, then fight. At worst, I'll sink the entire Star Dou Great Forest!"
Five golden Blood Essence Soul Rings appeared beneath Tang Wulin's feet, and the fourth Blood Essence Soul Ring began to shine.
"Golden Dragon Berserk Domain—activate!"
The Golden Dragon King Bloodline within Tang Wulin completely boiled over at this moment. His entire body was covered in golden scales, and his height swelled dramatically, nearly exceeding three meters.
The Golden Dragon Spear trembled, and he immediately unleashed Golden Dragon Heaven-Shocking. An illusory True Dragon instantly pounced toward the Scarlet King.
"Brat, don't think your bloodline represents everything! Today, I'll teach you a lesson on Di Tian's behalf!"
The Scarlet King was enraged. He felt that he had already shown this brat more than enough respect. The Auspicious Beast had been beaten into that state, yet he had not attacked outright. But this brat had actually made the first move. He clearly did not take him seriously at all!
Today, no matter who came, he, the Scarlet King, would teach this little dragon-man a proper lesson.
"Hellfire!"
Black flames poured from the Scarlet King's mouth, and the terrifying heat caused the temperature in the surroundings to rise sharply.
"Myriad Branches!"
"Tree Eye Paralysis!"
Tang Wulin and the Scarlet King had yet to clash when a somewhat sinister voice suddenly rang out.
In the next moment, countless branches burst madly from the ground, forming an incomparably thick wall of plants.
A large number of vines and branches suddenly opened one bizarre eye after another. Those eyes radiated a ghostly green light.
They slammed directly into the Scarlet King's body. The Scarlet King, whose cultivation exceeded three hundred thousand years, was sent flying by a single blow and crashed heavily onto the ground.
"Scarlet King, do you want to drag the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and even the Douluo Continent, into destruction with you?"
Countless vines gathered together, and a figure quietly emerged. He was a pale-faced, grim-looking middle-aged man.
He had appeared in human form, but his methods instantly revealed his identity to Tang Wulin.
With a cultivation exceeding five hundred thousand years, possessing Ultimate Wood, and one of the kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Myriad Demon King had devoured Immortal Spirit Grass to replenish his origin while in the body of the high-level plant soul beast, the Demon Eye Magic Tree, becoming the strongest plant-type soul beast!
The Myriad Demon King ranked fifth among the Ten Great Savage Beasts, even surpassing Bear Lord!
Judging by the standards of human soul masters, the Myriad Demon King's strength was at least above Rank 98, and he might even be no weaker than a Rank-99 soul master.
Tang Wulin watched the Myriad Demon King with a trace of wariness in his eyes. He could sense that the Myriad Demon King did not seem hostile, but that did not stop him from remaining vigilant.
"Myriad Demon King, what are you doing?!"
The Scarlet King climbed to his feet, black Hellfire spewing from his mouth. His three enormous heads and six eyes glared furiously at the Myriad Demon King, unable to understand why his companion had suddenly attacked him.
"You attacked the Son of Nature. You want to die, but I don't!"
The Son of Nature possessed an extraordinary Dragon Clan bloodline. If the Myriad Demon King had guessed correctly, the person Di Tian had suddenly left the Star Dou Great Forest to find was the one standing before him.
If Tang Wulin possessed only an extraordinary Dragon Clan bloodline, the Myriad Demon King would have been too lazy to appear, let alone stop the Scarlet King.
But Tang Wulin was the Son of Nature. Because of that, the Myriad Demon King had no choice but to intervene.
As the strongest plant-type soul beast on the continent, the Myriad Demon King naturally understood the Son of Nature's abilities and importance.
If the Scarlet King had truly fought the Son of Nature just now, injuring him would still have been manageable. But if he had actually killed the Son of Nature, there would be no place for the soul beasts on the Douluo Continent anymore. The soul beast clan would have been utterly doomed.
At that point, the Scarlet King would have achieved the supreme feat of destroying the Douluo Continent with a mere three hundred thousand years of cultivation.
"The Son of Nature? This brat is the Son of Nature!"
The Scarlet King could not believe it. His three enormous heads now wore expressions of utter disbelief.
His six eyes were filled with terror.
"Your Highness, your bloodline and identity are both existences beyond our reach. The Scarlet King is a fool. He attacked you because of the Auspicious Beast. Please don't take offense!"
The Myriad Demon King genuinely did not want to sour his relationship with the Son of Nature. Moreover, Tang Wulin's obviously abnormal True Dragon Bloodline meant that he was destined to reach great heights—perhaps even surpassing the Scarlet King and himself in the future.
Regardless of what Di Tian wanted with the Son of Nature, the Myriad Demon King did not want to let that relationship fall apart.
After all, he was a plant soul beast, and the importance of the Son of Nature far exceeded that of the Auspicious Beast.
"A hundred-thousand-year plant soul beast? Otherwise, let that dog continue fighting me."
"First that Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and now this red dog. Every one of them is acting like they're sick."
Tang Wulin tightened his grip on the Golden Dragon Spear. He felt that he needed compensation.
Otherwise, he would be the one losing out!
