After his second grandfather, Yang Wushuang, discovered the Mysterious Water Dragon Crocodile, Yang Podi felt much relieved, at least he wouldn't waste time taking Tianyue to the core area of Star Dou Great Forest.
The five set off immediately and found the Mysterious Water Dragon Crocodile in a secluded pool about 60 kilometers north of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This Mysterious Water Dragon Crocodile was nearly twenty meters long, its entire body covered in thick scales, and its two Mysterious Water Dragon Crocodile mouths looked extremely terrifying. Surprisingly, it had two small horns growing on its head, which looked rather incongruous.
With three Titled Douluo now involved, plus Yang Podi's Titled Douluo- level combat power, they easily subdued the Mysterious Water Dragon Crocodile, a mere 40,000-year-old Soul Beast.
Amidst the worries of the others, Yang Tianyue began to absorb the 40,000-year-old Soul Ring. The process seemed somewhat difficult, and even Yang Tianyue Yang Tianyue's face showed some signs of great pain. However, thanks to the flashing of the Soul Bone in her Head Soul Bone and legs, she eventually completed the absorption of the Soul Ring without any major incidents.
Thankfully, the crocodile tail-like External Soul Bone didn't reappear. If a girl really had a crocodile tail, I wonder if it would affect the image of the future Sea God.
After absorbing this Soul Ring, Yang Tianyue's body did indeed seem to have a bit of water attribute. In particular, Yang Tianyue's Soul Power increased even more dramatically, reaching an astonishing level of fifty-eight. At this rate of development, she could reach level sixty in at most half a year of cultivation, which could be considered as seeing a glimmer of hope for passing the Sea God Nine Trials.
After discussing it for a while, everyone decided that Niu Jinfeng would be in charge of guiding Yang Tianyue's cultivation and would spar with Yang Tianyue every day to ensure that her combat ability would not decrease.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has also had a very good effect on Niu Jinfeng's cultivation. Niu Jinfeng has now reached level 93, surpassing her second grandfather. However, her second grandfather's cultivation speed is also very good. It is estimated that he will also be able to break through to level 93 in another year or two. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well truly deserves to be called a treasure land for cultivation.
If his grandfather, Yang Wudi, knew that his Soul Power had been surpassed by his younger brother Yang Wushuang, I wonder what he would think.
After some discussion, Yang Wushuang, Yang Zhentian, and Yang Podi left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and prepared to head to the Star Dou Great Forest to find suitable Soul Beast and Soul Ring.
In fact, there should still be quite a few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if they are not in the inner lake deep in the core area, there should still be some lone Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. However, these Soul Beast are all hiding, unlike the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, which are so conspicuous. Otherwise, the Body Sect would not have been able to hunt down seven Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in a short period of time in later generations. These Soul Beast could not have grown up in the last few thousand years.
The three searched the core area of Star Dou Great Forest for half a month, but still couldn't find the Soul Beast that Yang Podi wanted. Although there were quite a few eighty or ninety thousand-year-old Soul Beast there, Yang Podi didn't think much of them, whether in terms of Soul Beast or Soul Beast.
That day, the three sensed three powerful auras of Soul Beast. Clearly, these three Soul Beast were not simple at all. However, when the three secretly approached, they found that they were actually the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor. Each Qian Jun Ant Emperor was about three meters long, and its body seemed to be full of power. It even had wings growing from its back.
Yang Wushuang couldn't help but complain, "How come there are all sorts of strange things in this Star Dou Great Forest? I've never seen such a huge Qian Jun Ant before. Judging from its appearance, it's almost 90,000 years old. Given the bloodline of the Qian Jun Ant, is it possible for it to grow to such an advanced age?"
"The 30,000-year-old Qian Jun Ant on Tai Tan was already incredibly powerful, but to think there are three such terrifying Qian Jun Ant here is completely beyond human imagination."
Yang Podi seemed to have thought of something, "Second Grandfather, do you think these three Qian Jun Ant must have eaten some rare and precious treasures to grow to this level? Otherwise, with the bloodline of Qian Jun Ant, they probably couldn't have reached this level."
Yang Podi pondered to himself, "Douluo Continent is also known as the Bloodline Continent. Whether it is a human Soul Master or Soul Beast, everyone attaches great importance to bloodline. If the bloodline is slightly inferior, it will limit growth."
Just like Yu Xiaogang, it was precisely because the Golden Sacred Dragon attribute in his bloodline was too low that he degenerated into Luo Sanpao. Similarly, Soul Beast are also limited by their bloodline. If they are just ordinary Soul Beast, let alone the 100,000-year level, it is very difficult for them to even surpass the 10,000-year level. Just like the Soft Bone Rabbit, I have never heard of a 10,000-year level Soft Bone Rabbit in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The bloodlines of these three Qian Jun Ant are definitely not simple, especially in the dangerous core area of Star Dou Great Forest, where other Soul Beast would not allow the three of them to grow slowly.
Especially here, the abundance of life seems to surpass that of other places, clearly making it a treasure trove.
Yang Podi suddenly realized something and couldn't help but say, "Second Grandfather, Dad, let's drive these three Qian Jun Ant away. There must be treasures nearby, and they're definitely priceless treasures."
After hearing this, Yang Zhentian and Yang Wushuang exchanged a glance and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, the three concealed their presence and stealthily approached the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor. In that instant, the three suddenly sprang into action, each wielding Soul Breaking Spear, and swiftly attacked the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor. Each of them targeted only one, clearly intending to launch a sneak attack while the ants were off guard.
The three attacked with incredible speed and ferocity, especially since they simultaneously activated their Martial Soul Avatar, as if they intended to kill all three Qian Jun Ant Emperor in one strike.
It must be said that the Soul Breaking Spear at the Titled Douluo level is indeed terrifying in terms of attack power, especially when all attack Soul Ring are added. Even Titled Douluo of the same level would find it difficult to withstand it.
With their earth-shattering attacks, the three Thousand-Pound Ant Kings struck the Qian Jun Ant Emperor directly. However, these three Qian Jun Ant Emperor were indeed physically strong, and each of them withstood the attacks. They only suffered deep, bone-revealing wounds, but were not seriously injured.
Moreover, these three Qian Jun Ant Emperor were exceptionally ferocious; even though they were injured, they attacked head-on without any fear.
However, even with his injuries, the Three-Headed Qian Jun Ant Emperor was no match for Titled Douluo in a one-on-one fight. In particular, Yang Podi and the other two attacked with exceptional ferocity, each unleashing their Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill as if they were fighting for their lives.
Especially Yang Zhentian, who was at the peak of Level 95, his attack power alone probably surpassed that of most Level 96 Titled Douluo. In particular, Yang Zhentian had intentionally or unintentionally blocked the path of the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor as they retreated back to their nest.
After a ten-minute battle, the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor Qian Jun Ant Emperor covered in various wounds. In the end, they flapped their wings and quickly left the place, abandoning their nest.
Yang Podi and the other two simply watched the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor leave without giving chase. After all, their target this time wasn't the Soul Ring of the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor, and with Yang Podi's current strength, he probably couldn't absorb the Soul Ring of the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor at the same time.
After driving away the three Qian Jun Ant Emperor, Yang Wushuang seemed still shaken and couldn't help but remark, "The defensive power and strength of these three Qian Jun Ant are truly terrifying. Even a newly promoted Titled Douluo probably couldn't defeat just one of them on their own."
Yang Podi shook his head. "These three Qian Jun Ant have broken through the limitations of life and bloodline, reaching a realm of over 90,000 years. They are probably the pinnacle of ant-type Soul Beast. Their bloodline must have evolved, and they can already be called Ant Kings. This is why I have my eye on this place."
The three then began to search the area carefully, but after searching for a long time, they found nothing except a huge ant nest.
Yang Zhentian's expression turned somewhat grave. " Podi, do you intend to search inside the nest of this Qian Jun Ant Emperor? Ant nests are generally quite complex, probably with a labyrinthine network of structures. I'm afraid there might be some danger inside."
Yang Podi thought carefully for a moment and said, "Dad, the area around here has the densest life force in this nest. The treasure is probably inside. I need to go in and take a look. You wait for me outside; I'll be right back."
After saying this, Yang Podi ignored the objections of Yang Zhentian and Yang Wushuang and climbed directly into the nest of the Qian Jun Ant Emperor.
Although these three Qian Jun Ant Emperor are three meters long, their bodies are only about one meter long. Moreover, ant nests are generally about the same size as the ants' bodies, so the entire ant nest is only a little over one meter long. They cannot stand up and can only crawl.
After Yang Podi crawled into the anthill, he immediately summoned the three-meter-long Gold Crocodile King's External Soul Bone and used it to scout ahead in case of any unexpected situations.
As Yang Podi ventured deeper into the Qian Jun Ant nest, he didn't seem to find anything unusual. The only difference was that the deeper he went, the denser the life force seemed to become.
Once you reach the deepest part, you'll find a relatively open space where you can stand up.
But in the nest of the Qian Jun Ant Emperor, Yang Podi searched carefully for a long time, but seemed to find nothing.
Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. "That shouldn't be the case. The life force here is so dense, it's probably comparable to the core area of Star Dou Great Forest. How could there be no treasures here?"
Yang Podi casually grabbed a handful of soil, smelled it carefully, and found that this soil was very different from the soil outside. It actually had an extremely strong life force, which was simply unbelievable.
Seemingly realizing something, Yang Podi summoned his Martial Soul, the Soul Breaking Spear, and the tail Soul Bone of the Gold Crocodile King, and together they began to excavate.
As the excavation deepened, the life force grew even stronger, confirming Yang Podi's suspicion that the treasure lay beneath the Qian Jun Ant Emperor's nest. Yang Podi then continued digging along the path of life.
As the excavation deepened, a large hole, about two meters square, appeared directly in the nest. When the excavation reached about twenty meters, it seemed that they had encountered something hard, which even the Soul Breaking Spear and Soul Bone could not pierce.
Yang Podi, on the other hand, dug even more carefully, afraid of disturbing anything. If he unearthed a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, that would be a disaster.
However, when the hard object finally appeared before Yang Podi's eyes, he was completely stunned. It was a piece of metal with an extremely rich life force. The metal was not large, but it was unusually heavy, and the life force it contained was terrifying.
Yang Podi couldn't help but swallow hard, but he also couldn't contain his elation. "I've struck it rich this time! This thing is probably the Gold of Life!"
This piece of Gold of Life was only the size of two fists, but it weighed over a hundred pounds. No wonder these three Qian Jun Ant Emperor could reach ninety thousand years old; they possessed such a treasure. This piece of Gold of Life was probably no smaller than the one Huo Yuhao obtained; it could practically serve as the foundation for his future godhood, and could even be used to forge divine artifacts.
After Yang Podi left the nest of the Qian Jun Ant Emperor, Yang Zhentian and Yang Wushuang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when the two saw the Gold of Life that Yang Podi took out, their eyes widened. Although they didn't know what Gold of Life was, the metal that exuded such a rich aura was far beyond their imagination.
Yang Zhentian couldn't help but ask, " Podi, what is this thing? It looks quite extraordinary."
Yang Podi simply smiled and said, "This thing is called the Gold of Life. Legend has it that the foundation of the entire Star Dou Great Forest is the Gold of Life. It is an unparalleled treasure, a material that can be used to forge divine artifacts."
Upon hearing this, the two men's expressions changed drastically. Divine artifacts were legendary items; they never expected to find such a treasure here.
After the three communicated for a while, Yang Podi put away the Gold of Life. The three rested and recovered for a while before continuing their search for Soul Beast.
However, finding Soul Beast was not so smooth. Yang Podi even considered whether to go find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, feeling that its age was relatively low. He felt that his current strength was quite good and he wanted to get a set of red Soul Ring. He felt that it would look a bit bad if he had a black Soul Ring.
The three of them arrived at the edge of a cliff. The entire area around the cliff was barren, with no Soul Beast or plants. But the more barren the place, the more powerful the Soul Beast would be. Yang Podi felt that there was a very powerful aura coming from below the cliff.
Finding a very good Soul Ring for the Second Martial Soul is a divine skill.
