At dusk, Luo Yu sat cross-legged on the large bed, cultivating. Faint golden and silver lights flickered alternately across his body.
He suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of deep, pitch-black pupils gleaming with sharp brilliance. A low dragon's roar and phoenix cry echoed within the room, and his aura seemed to have advanced ever so slightly.
Luo Yu sighed with emotion."It seems that nurturing the spiritual being within my martial soul really isn't something that can be rushed."
He shook his head and chuckled."I might be a bit too impatient. After all, something this heaven-defying could never be accomplished overnight."
Putting on his shoes, he strolled to the window and pushed it open, gazing at the slanting sunset outside.
Carefully sensing the state of his martial soul, Luo Yu analyzed,"If I maintain this pace of cultivation every day, the day it's fully nurtured won't come too early—but it shouldn't be too late either."
Then he frowned slightly."Speaking of which, with Su Yaoyun's strength, she's been in the Star Dou Forest for quite a while now. She should've returned already… Why hasn't she?"
—
At the same time, deep within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Towering tree canopies overlapped layer upon layer, branches interwoven into an endless sea of green. Countless soul beasts lurked within, living off this land. As the sun dipped westward, the forest gradually grew dim.
"Roar!"
A sharp, urgent beastly roar shattered the forest's eerie silence.
A strange beast burst out from the woods—its fur golden, its entire body resembling translucent crystal, radiating an uncanny texture. Its appearance was lion-like, yet far more majestic.
Its four limbs were shaped like dragon claws, each step igniting a cluster of golden flames beneath its feet. Its muzzle was longer than a lion's, and beneath its fur lay dense golden scales. On its forehead grew a bizarre vertical eye, within which an eerie crimson light flickered.
Despite its divine appearance, the beast's fur was stained with blood. Fear and rage burned in its eyes as it fled in desperation, constantly glancing back.
It couldn't understand it.
It was born with the ability to shield itself from detection—so how had that woman behind it discovered its presence so easily?
"Swish—swish!"
The lion-shaped beast fled frantically ahead, while behind it, a graceful figure wrapped in pink light weaved through the forest, rapidly closing the distance.
As Su Yaoyun gave chase, her face was filled with uncontrollable delight."I can't believe it… the legendary Emperor Auspicious Beast—Three-Eyed Golden Lion!"
She vividly remembered the records from ancient texts.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the darling of the plane itself. Wherever it resided, all soul beasts in the area would grow at twice the normal speed. For hundred-thousand-year soul beasts stuck at a bottleneck, the chance of breaking through would also double.
Most importantly—
Once a Three-Eyed Golden Lion's cultivation surpassed ten thousand years, not only would its strength become extraordinary, it was also guaranteed to produce a soul bone upon death.
Su Yaoyun stayed tightly on its heels, paying no attention to how close she was getting to the core region of the Star Dou Forest. Her gaze was firm and resolute.
"I must capture it alive. First, I'll keep it by Linghan's side to increase her chances of surviving the tribulation. By the time Linghan finishes her tribulation, that little man's cultivation should rise another level—perfect timing for him to absorb this Three-Eyed Golden Lion's soul ring and soul bone."
"The talent and potential of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion reign supreme among soul beasts. That little man's talent is unmatched in the world. Combining the two is like adding wings to a tiger."
"If it were used on me, it would just be a waste."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion stomped the ground with flaming hooves. Sensing Su Yaoyun rapidly approaching, the vertical eye on its forehead flared crimson.
With a frantic shake of its head, a beam entirely condensed from spiritual power shot toward Su Yaoyun.
"Heh. Playing mental power with this Empress?"
Before descending upon the Douluo Continent, Su Yaoyun had been the Charm Emperor—one of the 108 Emperors of the Abyssal Plane. Her mastery over spiritual power was beyond question. If not for the limitations of her physical body, she wouldn't have even given the Three-Eyed Golden Lion a chance to escape.
Her red lips curved upward as her phoenix eyes snapped open. Two pink arrows formed entirely from spiritual power condensed in an instant, ripping through the air.
One collided head-on with the Golden Lion's beam, the two attacks shattering midair and canceling each other out.
The other arrow pierced through space itself, producing a sharp sonic boom as it struck the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's hind leg.
The Golden Lion's escape speed immediately faltered. If it hadn't reacted in time, that arrow wouldn't have merely sliced its leg—it would have pierced straight through.
Golden blood flowed from the wound, strangely free of any foul stench. Instead, it carried a faint fragrance, shimmering with radiant golden light.
Su Yaoyun's eyes lit up. With a flick of her pale hand, a massive net woven entirely from spiritual power shot forward to capture it.
"Roar!"
A blazing golden light erupted from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body. Light and fire elements from the surrounding space went berserk, surging toward it.
A massive sphere condensed from light and flame formed, carrying terrifying fluctuations as it smashed toward Su Yaoyun.
The overwhelming shockwave tore apart her spiritual net, the remaining force still charging straight at her.
Su Yaoyun shook her head lightly. In an instant, she sealed all her aura, her seductive figure flickering through space.
The golden sphere immediately lost its target, wobbling erratically like a headless fly before detonating midair, bursting into a spectacular firework.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's abilities were truly extraordinary—whether stealth or mental manipulation, it stood among the very best of soul beasts. For thousands of years, no human had ever discovered its trail.
Unfortunately for it—
It had encountered Su Yaoyun.
And worse, a Su Yaoyun empowered by Luo Yu's special abilities.
"ROAR!!"
A thunderous, unwilling howl echoed through the forest, transforming into countless sound waves that rippled outward.
In the end, Su Yaoyun unleashed her full strength and subdued the exhausted Three-Eyed Golden Lion. A violent surge of spiritual power directly knocked it unconscious.
She did not kill it on the spot.
Instead, her spiritual power formed a massive pink hand that seized the Golden Lion by the neck, dragging it as she sped toward the edge of the Star Dou Forest.
Before long, Su Yaoyun exited the forest in a streak of pink light.
Looking up at the giant hand in midair, dragging the unconscious Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Su Yaoyun parted her red lips into a bewitching smile.
"I wonder if that little man will like this… special gift."
—
The moment the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's aura vanished from the Star Dou Forest, everything elsewhere remained calm and undisturbed.
But within the core region—
The once tranquil lake suddenly began to tremble violently. A terrifying presence stirred, slowly awakening.
The Titan Giant Ape had been sleeping by the lakeshore. Awakened by the disturbance, it was just about to curse when—
A colossal wave erupted from the center of the lake. A massive figure over ten meters long—the Azure Bull Python—shot out of the water in terror.
"Big brother, what are you doing?!" the Titan Giant Ape complained, its lantern-sized brown eyes wide.
"Shut up! Kneel—now!" the Azure Bull Python gasped urgently. Its massive bull eyes were locked on the lake as its body trembled uncontrollably, deathly fear washing over it.
"I treat you like my big brother, and you wake me up without apologizing—now you want me to kneel?" the Titan Giant Ape fumed, recalling the beating it had taken last time.
"You idiot!"
The Azure Bull Python swung its tail, smashing into the Titan Giant Ape's knees and forcing it to kneel.
The Titan Giant Ape erupted with brown-yellow light, about to go berserk—
Suddenly, silver light exploded from the lake's surface.
Amid raging waves, a world-shaking dragon's roar resounded, and an unparalleled aura of terror spread across the land.
The Titan Giant Ape immediately crawled and rolled back beside the Azure Bull Python, trembling like a frightened puppy.
"B-b-b-big brother!!"
"What is that?!!"
"Shut up!!!" the Azure Bull Python shouted in panic.
The silver radiance on the lake continued to accumulate—
Then, it exploded outward.
