Fate Resonance! Truth-Breaking Golden Eyes!

At the deepest part of the Lake of Life.

Di Tian passed through an even more concealed barrier that radiated seven-colored light.

His vision suddenly opened up. Before him was no longer murky lakewater, but a vast underground pocket dimension.

It seemed like an independent little world.

Exotic flowers and strange grasses covered the ground, while gemstones embedded throughout glittered like scattered stars.

At the very center of the space lay a sizable lake.

Above the lake.

A gigantic insect-like Soul Beast was suspended in midair, bound by several chains of Soul Power.

Its entire body was jade-white, with nine dazzling golden stripes coiling around it.

This was the ninety-nine-hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast that had suffered eight lifetimes of terrible misfortune—Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.

At this moment.

Several thick streams of energy were being continuously drawn from Tian Meng's body.

These streams connected to several humanoid Ferocious Beasts cultivating by the lakeside.

After all, the underground space was limited, so the Ferocious Beasts cultivated in human form.

The thickest energy stream plunged directly into the deepest part of the lakebed.

That was where the Silver Dragon King slept as she healed her injuries.

And in a shaded area by the lake.

A young Soul Beast resembling both a lion and a dog was sprawled on the ground, taking an afternoon nap.

This beast was the vessel of Soul Beast Fortune, the Imperial Auspicious Beast—the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Di Tian did not disturb the other Ferocious Beasts who were cultivating.

He walked straight to the lakeside and sent a message into the depths below.

He reported everything concerning Wukong to the Silver Dragon King.

Once he had finished his report.

The Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Staff in Di Tian's hand suddenly flew free of his control, transforming into a streak of light that plunged into the lakebed.

A moment later.

The staff burst from the water once more and landed steadily back in Di Tian's hand.

"The origin within that staff does indeed belong to the Icefire Dragon Kings."

The Silver Dragon King's voice rang out in Di Tian's mind. "You may assist him."

"But you must warn him that, regardless of success or failure, he must never reveal so much as a trace of my existence to the outside world."

"Also, make time to visit the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well he mentioned."

"Since it was able to nurture such a spiritual artifact, the corpses of the Twin Dragon Kings must still contain remnant origin power."

"Bring them back. They will be of great use in restoring my injuries."

Di Tian dropped to one knee and respectfully accepted the order. "Yes, my lord!"

After leaving the underground garden, Di Tian swiftly returned to Wukong.

Glug glug—

Glug glug—

Glug glug glug!

Wukong was idly blowing bubbles when Di Tian's figure appeared before him again.

"His Lordship has agreed to your request."

Di Tian tossed the Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Staff back to Wukong and warned him sternly, "But His Lordship has commanded that, regardless of success or failure, you must never mention her existence to anyone. Even if you die, you must take this secret to the grave."

Wukong caught the staff and drew it back into his body, thumping his chest as he promised, "Lord Di Tian, rest assured. Old Sun has a tight mouth."

"Good. Follow me."

Di Tian turned and swam downward.

Wukong followed closely behind. As he passed through the barrier, his vision blurred, and he arrived in that strange space.

Dense spiritual energy washed over him, opening every pore in Wukong's body and drawing an involuntary groan of comfort from him.

However, at the instant Wukong entered this space.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which had been napping in the shade, seemed to sense something. She suddenly woke and looked toward Wukong.

Whoosh!

Her third eye flew open!

Immediately after.

A strange golden radiance instantly enveloped Wukong's entire body.

"Auspicious Beast! What are you doing?"

Di Tian shouted in alarm and confusion.

This sudden disturbance naturally woke the other Ferocious Beasts cultivating nearby with their eyes closed.

They all opened their eyes, their gazes converging on Wukong, who was shrouded in golden light.

The Ferocious Beasts' eyes were filled with unconcealed curiosity and surprise.

They could not understand why Di Tian had brought a monkey whose cultivation had not even reached the hundred-thousand-year threshold into such a core forbidden area.

They understood even less why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who usually did nothing but eat and sleep, had suddenly unleashed her innate ability on this outsider without warning.

At the center of the golden light, Wukong was startled at first and instinctively prepared to activate the Ice-Fire Twin Dragon Staff within his body to defend himself.

But as soon as the thought arose, he noticed something strange—the dazzling radiance contained not the slightest hint of destructive power. Instead, it seeped into his body through every limb and bone like spring rain nourishing all things, leaving him warm and indescribably comfortable.

"Ah—"

Wukong could not help letting out a long sigh of pleasure.

As that strange energy continued to flood into him, some latent potential within his body seemed to be completely ignited, producing an incredibly powerful resonance.

Wukong felt soreness and burning deep within his eyes. Then, two dazzling crimson-gold pillars of light shot violently from his pupils!

The light pillars seemed almost tangible as they soared into the sky and slammed fiercely into the seven-colored barrier at the top of the space, sending brilliant ripples spreading outward.

At the same time.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who had unleashed her ability, was having her Soul Power drained from her body at a visible rate.

In the blink of an eye, the vertical eye on her forehead dimmed and closed. Her body then went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, without even the strength to raise a paw.

"Golden Lion!"

The surrounding Ferocious Beasts instantly erupted into chaos. Their expressions tightened as they hurried forward to inspect her.

After all, this little one was the vessel carrying the Fortune of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and indeed of every Soul Beast under heaven!

If anything happened to the Auspicious Beast under their watch, every Ferocious Beast present would become eternal sinners of the entire Soul Beast race!

Di Tian frowned tightly and hurried forward, asking with concern, "Golden Lion! How do you feel?"

At his side, Bi Ji, dressed in an emerald-green gown with a gentle face and skilled in healing, had already crouched down.

She gently placed both hands on the Golden Lion's back, continuously sending soft green healing light into her body.

After a moment, Bi Ji let out a quiet breath and said softly, "Do not panic, everyone. Golden Lion merely overexerted her Soul Power and temporarily lost her strength."

Upon hearing this, the beasts finally relaxed.

But Scarlet King, with his coarse features and savage appearance, was now burning with rage.

He abruptly turned toward Wukong, who had just landed on the ground, and roared, "You damned monkey! What did you do to the Auspicious Beast just now?!"

"Old Sun didn't do anything..."

Wukong spread his hands, his face full of innocence and helplessness.

That was the honest truth. The Auspicious Beast had clearly acted first; from beginning to end, he had not even moved a finger.

Still, although Scarlet King had wrongfully accused him, Wukong was overjoyed inside.

During that brief resonance just now, he had used the baptism of fate power to awaken an incomparably heaven-defying innate divine ability!

This divine ability possessed two core powers.

The first was called "Fate-Seeking Truth-Breaking."

When activated, it could not only perceive the colors of the Fortune above all things in the world, but also see through every form of energy operation.

Whether it was the flow of Soul Power or fluctuations of spiritual power, before these eyes of his, all would be as clear as lines on his palm, with nowhere to hide.

The second was "Fate-Calamity Return to the Void."

This was where its true dominance lay!

Not only could it forcibly gather the wandering Fortune between heaven and earth to bless himself, it could even seize the Fortune of others for his own use!

Of course, the heavenly dao was ever watchful. Plundering Fortune would inevitably bring karmic backlash, and the more he took, the more terrifying that backlash would become.

Wukong's thoughts raced. Thinking of the Great Sage's abilities, he immediately gave this divine ability a name—Truth-Breaking Golden Eyes!
