Leaf Evening Water, Dragon Xiaoyao.
A great villain.
An accomplice of a great villain.
Dragon Xiaoyao played a crucial role in developing the Holy Spirit Church into its current size. This guy is such a sycophant; even after learning in the original story that Leaf Evening Water had lied to him and that the Holy Spirit Church had sent Leaf Evening Water to drive a wedge between him and Mu En, he still deeply loved her.
A boy who once hated evil has now become one of the most powerful Evil Soul Masters.
An Zhen felt nothing but disgust for the Evil Soul Masters. These guys were nothing short of terrorists—no, calling them terrorists was an understatement. Thinking of the cave where Death God Emissary was, these guys were worse than animals. While there is shadow where there is light, these guys shouldn't exist. No matter how much suffering they endured, they shouldn't inflict their misery on ordinary people.
Lake of Life.
We have just entered the lake.
An Zhen felt an extremely dense Life Force enveloping him, trying to penetrate his body through the pores of his skin. The deeper he went, the higher the concentration of Life Force became. In fact, this force had already turned into a liquid. Except for the top layer of lake water, almost everything below was this liquid Life Force. The deeper he went, the more viscous the liquid Life Force became. Even his mental force could not detect it; he could only observe it with his eyes.
This is Lake of Life?!
This is something that neither Sky Azure Bull Python nor Titan Giant Ape has ever experienced. With such a treasure trove, one's cultivation could advance by leaps and bounds. However, while those two possessed excellent bloodlines, they were ultimately just gatekeepers. At that time, all the powerful beasts were in seclusion, and this wonder of the Lake of Life was likely sealed away long ago. This life force primarily belongs to the Silver Dragon King, and probably only beings like Emperor Rui Beast and Di Tian can enjoy a small portion of it. Ordinary beasts might not even be able to enjoy any of it, since although this power is abundant, the amount becomes very small if it is divided among many Spirit Beasts.
Dive to the bottom of the lake.
An Zhen saw the spring.
It was a layer of emerald green metal, gold of life.
But now there is a very obvious gap, with a loss of nearly one-fifth.
According to the original story, this was done by a daring 100,000-year-old Golden Turtle.
The entire Star Dou Great Forest exists because of Gu Yuena. It can be said that the entire Star Dou Great Forest is Gu Yuena's private property, and naturally, it also contains the gold of life accumulated over countless years in Star Dou Great Forest.
It's even possible that this " gold of life" is the life force emanating from Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena is An Zhen's wife.
That damned Golden Turtle, how dare he touch my wife's things!
"Uncle," Three-Eyed Golden Lion transmitted his voice with spirit power, a girl's voice full of expectation ringing out, "What kind of girl do you think is pretty?"
"Mature women, young girls, and lolis, I actually like them all," An Zhen transmitted his voice. "But it depends on your own preferences. You don't need to care about other people's opinions. As long as you feel good about it, that's enough."
Although she had the option to customize her character's appearance, An Zhen felt it was better for her to decide the form of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion herself.
"However," An Zhen felt there were some things he still needed to remind him of, "You have a third eye. Can you hide this feature by transforming into a human body? As a Beast of Destiny, you are special. After transforming, Spirit should not use its original form."
An Zhen remembers that in the original work, the Spirit that the mythical beast transformed into was a Golden Dragon, not a Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
"That's no problem," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion replied. "I can use the Golden Dragon bloodline to simulate the Golden Dragon." Spirit.
Unlike other Golden Spirit Beasts that possess only a faint trace of Golden Dragon bloodline, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion possesses an extremely pure and concentrated Golden Dragon bloodline, as evidenced by its recognition by the Golden Dragon Spear. This Golden Dragon Spear can even further enhance and purify the Golden Dragon bloodline within the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, after all, it is a part of the Golden Dragon King.
The dazzling golden light transformed into countless threads, enveloping the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and forming a large golden cocoon.
The transformation has begun.
...
ashore.
Di Tian did not leave.
He gave the order. Although Electrolux was an ally recognized by the Lord, this was their stronghold, and he had to stay here to keep an eye on them.
The order was carried out by the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
A demonic tree with a cultivation level of 530,000 years, rooted near the Lake of Life, once devoured a celestial herb and possessed the origin of the top-tier plant-type Spirit Beast.
When Di Tian discovered the other party, the latter had already ruled nearly a third of the Spirit Beasts surrounding the Star Dou Great Forest. Plants were the last line of defense for the Star Dou Great Forest, and the Demon King, who controlled a large number of plant-type Spirit Beasts, was crucial. Di Tian both feared and needed the Demon King's existence. Therefore, he brought the Demon King to the vicinity of Lake of Life to keep an eye on him.
quite a while.
A giant Hell Demon Dragon arrived at Lake of Life carrying several golden turtles. Murasaki transformed into human form and tossed the golden turtles aside.
Golden Turtle, a symbol of good fortune, is far inferior to Emperor Rui Beast, but it is still one of the few auspicious creatures in Star Dou Great Forest. It has a long lifespan, almost no natural enemies, and each one can grow to 100,000 years old. Although it is difficult to break through 200,000 years, a 100,000-year-old Golden Turtle is enough to bring a bonus to the entire Spirit Beast in Star Dou Great Forest.
Several Golden Turtles looked curiously at Di Tian, not understanding why this Beast God had summoned them. They were all attracted by the rich life aura of the Lake of Life, poking their heads out to look in that direction. Only one of them, with a cultivation level of forty or fifty thousand, kept its head tucked into its shell.
Electrolux's gaze fell on several Golden Turtles, and when it landed on the one that had its head tucked into its shell, a playful look appeared on his face.
He said that the "gold of life" in Lake of Life was missing a part.
Tsk, how did that little An Zhen know?
However, considering that the other party knew everything about his past, it wasn't surprising.
"?"
Di Tian noticed Electrolux's gaze and followed it, seeing the Golden Turtle huddled inside its shell.
Is there something wrong with this guy?
"Place your hand on its body and feel its structure; you'll roughly understand why An Zhen calls these Golden Turtles what they're for," Electrolux advised.
"oh?"
Di Tian explained to Zi Ji that Electrolux was an ally of the Lord and his uncle, and then went to the Golden Turtle.
Di Tian was also puzzled as to why his uncle had summoned these Golden Turtles.
Does Uncle need another spirit ring?
The next moment, a glimmer of light shone from the golden tortoise shell. To the astonishment of Di Tian, Zi Ji, and the other Golden Turtles, this Golden Turtle actually launched an attack on Di Tian.
Is this guy insane?!
They are auspicious creatures. Beast God wouldn't really do anything to them, and even designated a habitat for them. Why would anyone do something so offensive?
After launching the attack, the Golden Turtle glowed with an earthy yellow light, preparing to use its earth element to burrow into the ground.
However, the next second...
Di Tian grabbed the tortoise shell, which was over two meters in diameter.
It's laughable. An attack of this magnitude falling on Di Tian is no different from rain falling on him.
Under Zi Ji's gaze, Di Tian, whose expression hadn't changed at all when attacked by the Golden Turtle, suddenly looked extremely ugly when his palm landed on the Golden Turtle.
"You bastard!"
Without giving the Golden Turtle any chance to beg for mercy, Di Tian suddenly unleashed a tremendous force from his palm. The turtle shell, which even a 100,000-year-old Spirit Beast couldn't break through in a short time, was crushed to shreds in Di Tian's hand, just like thin sheets of paper.
"Snap—"
The tortoise shell is broken.
"ah--"
A bloodcurdling scream rang out.
Fragments of the golden tortoise shell, stained with a large amount of blood and flesh, fell to the ground.
"Bang!"
A piece of metal, stained red with blood, fell to the ground.
" Metal from the bottom of Lake of Life?!"
Murasaki let out a gasp.
Before she underwent her Heavenly Tribulation last time, Emperor Tian, out of consideration for her being a fellow True Dragon, made an exception and allowed her to enter the Lake of Life to adjust her state. At that time, she saw the layer of emerald green metal at the bottom of the lake and sensed the vast and pure Life Power within it.
Di Tian had given her a serious warning back then: if she dared to covet these things, even though they were all True Dragons, they wouldn't let her get away with it.
Zi Ji felt that this kind of treasure was not only gathered in Star Dou Great Forest, but also... The Lake of Life, imbued with the power of life, cannot be produced anywhere else.
This Golden Turtle is incredibly audacious!
" Beast God, I was wrong!"
Once a Spirit Beast with a lifespan of 100,000 years, it was consumed by greed for the Gold of Life, and the Golden Turtle, with only tens of thousands of years of cultivation, begged for mercy.
The next second, he was knocked unconscious by Di Tian's slap.
Di Tian was very angry.
So this is the thief he's been looking for all this time.
You bastard!
He wished he could tear this guy to pieces.
But now the highest ruler here is my uncle, and the final outcome for this guy depends on my uncle's judgment.
The other Golden Turtles were attracted by the blood-stained gold of life, but the next second, seeing the Golden Turtle's miserable state, they quickly shrank their heads into their shells.
Thinking back to what Murasaki had just said.
This tribe of theirs actually stole the treasure from the bottom of Lake of Life.
...
Lake of Life at the bottom of the lake.
The transformation process took quite a while.
The abundant life force not only greatly benefited the transformed Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but also accelerated the process.
About five or six hours passed.
An Zhen was thoroughly enjoying the viscous Life Force, something she had never experienced in the Golden Tree.
No need to breathe; life force is everything that living beings need.
The golden cocoon's light suddenly dimmed a bit, until it completely disappeared. Its energy dissipated and was assimilated and decomposed by the dense Life Force nearby, revealing a beautiful scene to An Zhen.
Her fair skin had a faint rosy glow, not delicate, but radiating a healthy, sunny beauty. She was tall and slender, with a head of brilliant blonde hair cascading down to her waist and hips. Her facial features were soft yet deep, with sculpted features; her long, thin eyebrows were slightly arched, like two graceful swords. She had a fair neck, delicate collarbones, and an arrogance no less striking than Ma Xiaotao's. Her long, strong legs seemed to possess a powerful, dynamic quality.
What a dashing and beautiful blonde girl!
Tang San's scheme failed? Or did his scheme go elsewhere?
