"Ye Feng... what... what have you done? How did this world become like this..."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion trembled uncontrollably at the sight before it.
Because it too was enveloped by the Domain.
Its innate perception of danger triggered instinctive terror.
In its eyes at this moment, Ye Feng was comparable to a deity!
It seemed that with just a thought from Ye Feng, it could perish on the spot...
This was utterly terrifying!
What kind of opportunity had Ye Feng obtained from the Dragon God...
The pressure he exuded was even more frightening than what the Silver Dragon King could produce—this was simply too heaven-defying!!
"Let's go."
Ye Feng took one last deep look before withdrawing his Domain.
As Ye Feng's Domain receded, the once soft, flowing earth of the entire world instantly solidified into unyielding ground that ordinary people could hardly disturb.
"Whoosh—"
The next moment, with a slight thought from Ye Feng, he teleported the Three-Eyed Golden Lion out of the miniature world.
"Ah, we're out~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion inhaled the fresh outside air, its face immediately relaxing into bliss.
The suppression within Dragon Valley had been far too intense—its Talents were completely restrained, making it feel exceptionally stifled.
Now that it was out, it felt as if it had been completely liberated, its entire body light and free.
Moreover, although it had gained eight thousand years of cultivation within Dragon Valley, because it couldn't properly train, all that cultivation had accumulated within its body. It had digested less than ten percent, so its size remained small and compact.
This time, upon returning, it would need to sleep properly to convert all that cultivation into its own power—then it could grow rapidly.
It felt that once it grew a bit more, it would be able to undergo Shape-shifting into human form, just like the Ice Empress, Snow Empress, and A Yin, allowing it to get even closer to Ye Feng.
After all, although it could currently snuggle with Ye Feng, it was always treated as a "pet," which annoyed it somewhat.
It needed to work harder to achieve Shape-shifting sooner and escape its fate as a mere 'pet'!
"Dragon Valley... has likely become history now."
Ye Feng turned his head, casting one last profound glance at the Space Crack.
Every opportunity within Dragon Valley had been absorbed by him—this place had truly become a forbidden land.
Unless the space of Dragon Valley became unstable in the future, no one would likely be able to enter and disturb the slumber of those tens of thousands of dragons...
...
After leaving Dragon Valley, Ye Feng wasn't in a hurry to obtain his seventh Soul Ring. Instead, he found a secluded island to digest the gains from this journey alone.
His Soul Power was already extremely solid—there was no need to further consolidate his foundation, especially since he had already condensed a Soul Core. Even if he advanced straight to level 99, there would be no issues.
However, his Bloodline Unsealing had progressed too quickly. Not only had he gained new Soul Skills, but all his attributes had also received a massive boost—this was something he needed to adapt to.
After all, Ye Feng felt like even walking made him feel somewhat unsteady—clearly, his power had grown too strong too quickly, making it difficult to control.
Moreover, the Dragon God Soul hadn't just enhanced his strength or unsealed his Bloodline—it had also expanded his mental sea, causing his Mental Strength to skyrocket, reaching at least the mid-to-late stages of the Spirit Domain Realm.
Although most of the energy he absorbed came from the core of the "Golden Dragon King," it still contained remnants of the Dragon Soul, which greatly benefited his Mental Strength.
...
...
...
Cultivation knows no time.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye.
Ye Feng slowly opened his eyes, feeling little difference.
With his Enlightenment Body, cultivation was as simple as taking a nap for him.
After fully digesting his gains, Ye Feng had completely mastered his drastically increased power, and his combat strength had improved by at least tenfold!
As his gaze gradually focused, Ye Feng noticed a large yellow-furred pig over three meters long beside him.
"Huh? What's this?"
For a moment, Ye Feng was utterly baffled.
"Ah, Ye Feng, you're awake~"
The yellow-furred pig turned around, overjoyed, and pounced onto Ye Feng, rubbing its face against his vigorously and even licking him with its big tongue.
"Wait, Qiu'er, how long have I been cultivating? How did you get this fat???"
Only then did Ye Feng realize that this yellow-furred pig wasn't some invading Soul Beast—it was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Ye Feng remembered that before his seclusion, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had been a small, adorable creature. How had it turned into a Three-Eyed Golden Pig by the time he finished his cultivation???
"I... I do have eight thousand years of cultivation, so of course I'd grow a bit bigger..."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion inexplicably sounded a little guilty.
"Growing bigger with higher cultivation makes sense, but what is this??"
Ye Feng reached out and grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's belly—a large mass of soft, jiggly fat, extremely elastic.
This was clearly pure fat, and a lot of it at that, filled with nothing but grease.
"Mmm... maybe I ate too much fish. The fish around this island are pretty oily, so they're hard to digest." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion quickly hid its chubby belly, its eyes darting around, not daring to look at Ye Feng.
"Seriously, just how much did you eat to get this fat..."
Ye Feng was speechless.
Soul Beasts indeed had strong digestive systems and were almost never prone to obesity.
Except for the particularly gluttonous ones...
Eating too much without digesting it properly led to exactly this outcome.
Moreover, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was likely a feline creature, fond of fish.
Although the original lore stated that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion preferred the brains of Soul Beasts, that was probably because the Star Dou Great Forest only had freshwater, and while there might have been freshwater fish, the variety was surely limited.
But here in the vast ocean, fish were abundant, and perhaps the saltwater fish tasted even better, allowing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to indulge to its heart's content.
It was also possible that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion feared it wouldn't have access to such plentiful food after returning, so it ate voraciously. Who knew how many unfortunate fish had fallen victim to its Poisonous appetite during this time.
"Alright, I've delayed too long with this seclusion. Let's hurry back."
Ye Feng patted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's head.
Though it had gotten a bit chubby, it didn't matter—Soul Masters couldn't get sick, let alone Soul Beasts.
Once they returned, controlling its diet would slim it down quickly.
"Mhmm~"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded repeatedly, then instinctively tried to pounce onto Ye Feng again.
"Hey, what are you doing? You're so big now—what if you crush me?"
Ye Feng quickly blocked the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Its current size was too large—if it sat on his head, his entire skull would be engulfed in its soft, pudgy belly.
"What should we do then?"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion also realized it had grown too large, but since it hadn't mastered the ability to shrink yet, it felt rather awkward.
"That's no problem at all."
With that, Ye Feng flipped over and mounted the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's neck.
"Hmm, perfect. From now on, you'll be my mount."
Ye Feng rubbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's large head and chuckled.
"Mmmph... Damn you, Ye Feng! Get down! I'm no mount!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook violently, clearly displeased.
It was a dignified Auspicious Beast—how could it possibly become a mount!
Ye Feng was too despicable!
"Behave, or I'll have Zi Ji put you on a diet when we get back," Ye Feng threatened, casually patting the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's plump rear.
"Waaah... You're bullying me... I'm telling Sister Bi Ji..."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion immediately caved, sulking as it carried Ye Feng forward.
"Who told you to eat so much..."
Ye Feng sighed.
With a wave of his hand, Spatial Power enveloped them, and they vanished in an instant.
