Chapter 125: Chi Wang, Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Attribute Guidance
If you only read one fantasy novel in your life, it might be "Unrivaled Soul Land: Sukuna Template, Slaying the Gods."
That sky-piercing pillar of light shone in all directions in the night sky, like a suddenly rising blazing sun!
Soul Beasts within a hundred-mile radius felt that terrifying aura. Weak Soul Beasts prostrated themselves, shivering and not even daring to lift their heads, while those with higher cultivation years looked up one after another, gazing at that sky-piercing pillar of light.
Chu Qingtian sat on the ground, his mouth wide open in a daze, while Gongyang Mo looked at that light, his eyes full of fanaticism.
Ma Xiaotao's lips trembled slightly as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. Han Ruoruo's smile froze on her face, leaving only deep shock.
Zhang Lexuan stood in the moonlight, looking up at that figure. The bright moon and the blazing sun complemented each other; in her eyes, the blazing sun was reflected, along with that person's figure.
"So beautiful..."
At the same time, in a dense forest dozens of kilometers away, a Soul Beast also stood there, gazing at the sky-piercing pillar of light from afar.
It was a majestic Soul Beast over five meters long, resembling a lion, but it had three identical large heads. Each head was over a meter in diameter, and its terrifying canines glinted with a scarlet-gold luster under the moonlight.
Even more horrifying was that this Soul Beast was actually speaking in human tongue!
"Ultimate Light... Who is it? A human?"
Six eyes across three large heads narrowed simultaneously, flickering with a dangerous light. It gazed at the distant pillar of light, its eyes filled with both wariness and confusion.
Indeed, this Soul Beast was the eighth-ranked among the current Ten Great Savage Beasts, the Three-Headed Scarlet Devil Mastiff—Chi Wang!
A genuine Savage Beast, an existence capable of rivaling a human Super Douluo.
Chi Wang gazed for a long time before slowly shaking its heads. In its view, this Ultimate Light definitely came from a human Soul Master. Also, if it remembered correctly, that direction should be the territory of that foul-smelling fellow, the Abyssal Underworld Snake.
Since that was the case, following the principle that less trouble is better, it didn't bother to interfere. Moreover, it was currently looking after a little one.
Chi Wang turned its heads and spoke simultaneously, "Auspicious Beast, let's go."
As the words fell, it suddenly froze on the spot. On the empty ground beside it, that familiar figure had already vanished without a trace.
Chi Wang:???
Three large heads looked around at the same time, six eyes scanning frantically, but it still couldn't find the figure of the Emperor Auspicious Beast.
"This is bad!"
Chi Wang felt something was wrong. It looked around anxiously, its massive body spinning in place several times as its nose twitched frantically, trying to capture any residual scent in the air.
Finally, its gaze locked onto the direction of that sky-piercing pillar of light.
There was Ultimate Light there, and what the Emperor Auspicious Beast loved most was the light attribute.
"Damn it! Please don't let anything happen!"
Chi Wang gnashed its teeth, its four claws exerting force. Its massive body became like a bolt of scarlet-gold lightning, rushing madly toward the pillar of light!
Meanwhile, under the attack of the imitation Jacob's Ladder, the Abyssal Underworld Snake, whose attribute was countered, had completely lost the ability to resist.
Although the difference in cultivation between it and the protagonist was huge—one was an 80,000-year Savage Beast, and the other was a Soul King who had just broken through Level 50.
But as the saying goes, a counter is greater than the heavens, and specialized attacks can slay gods.
The Abyssal Underworld Snake's darkness attribute was nothing more than an undeveloped little girl before Ultimate Light, and its poison attribute was completely decomposed into the most primitive Soul Power state by the Cursed Technique Reversal: Pure Lapis Lazuli.
What use is strength if an opponent can't deal any damage?
After a brief moment of shock, Zhang Lexuan, Han Ruoruo, Ma Xiaotao, and the others immediately took action, delivering the final blow to the Abyssal Underworld Snake.
Moonlight, golden light, and flames—three attacks fell simultaneously, completely defeating the dying giant snake.
Finally, the sky-piercing pillar of light transformed into streaks of golden light and dissipated, drifting down like golden snowflakes, intoxicatingly beautiful.
As for the Abyssal Underworld Snake, it was beaten to the point of being on its last breath, heavily injured and dying. Its massive body lay sprawled in the swamp, with only its blood-red snake pupils still weakly rolling.
In the sky, seeing that the Abyssal Underworld Snake had been dealt with, Lin Xuan exhaled a breath of turbid air and began to descend, preparing to deliver the killing blow and absorb the Soul Ring.
The golden radiance slowly retracted from his body, and those brilliant golden eyes gradually returned to their original deep black.
He descended toward the ground, getting closer and closer, but when he was still fifty meters from the forest below, an accident occurred.
Lin Xuan suddenly turned his head, his gaze like lightning, instantly locking onto the forest below!
In the next moment, a scarlet-gold figure suddenly charged out!
Its speed was astonishingly fast, like a small sun, charging straight toward Lin Xuan!
Lin Xuan looked closely and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
It was a Soul Beast he had never seen before.
Its entire body seemed to be made of semi-transparent crystal, reflecting brilliant light under the moon. Its overall form closely resembled a lion, but its four claws were like dragon claws, each treading upon a ball of golden flame. Its body emitted a pure aura of light.
Besides its normal eyes, it also had a third vertical pupil embedded right in the center of its forehead.
That vertical pupil emitted an eerie red color, forming a sharp contrast with the gold of its body.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!
Seeing the descending Lin Xuan, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also dumbfounded. It stood there blankly, its three eyes staring straight at Lin Xuan, blinking once, then twice.
One person and one beast, five eyes total, staring at each other in mid-air.
Time seemed to freeze.
Then, without a hint of hesitation, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion made an instinctive decision...
Run!
It suddenly veered off, the golden flames beneath its four claws surging. Its entire body transformed into a streak of scarlet-gold light, fleeing madly into the distance!
Meanwhile, it kept muttering incessantly, its voice both urgent and panicked.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it! How can it be a human! Why is there a human here! Didn't I come looking for something tasty? How did I end up finding a human..."
The voice was crisp and pleasant, like a mountain spring—it was actually a young girl's voice.
Lin Xuan looked at the frantically fleeing scarlet-gold figure, his expression becoming somewhat strange.
He roughly guessed why the Three-Eyed Golden Lion wanted to charge over just now. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion only ate the brains of light-attribute Soul Beasts.
And what he had just displayed was genuine Ultimate Light!
To the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, this was like a kitten encountering catnip; it had no resistance at all.
This little fellow had likely followed the scent here, only to find that the "food" was a living person who could move, run, and even fly. It got scared on the spot.
Lin Xuan's expression became even stranger. This thing... came to eat me?
Inside the Spiritual Sea, the Ice Empress and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't sit still.
"Lin Xuan! What do you want to do?!" Tianmeng Ice Silkworm's voice cracked from anxiety. "That's the Emperor Auspicious Beast! The Three-Eyed Golden Lion! Do you know what it means to the Star Dou Great Forest?!"
The Ice Empress also dropped her cold demeanor and explained at high speed,
"In a Soul Beast habitat where an Emperor Auspicious Beast exists, the growth speed of Soul Beasts doubles! The chance for a 100,000-year-old Soul Beast to break through its bottleneck also doubles!"
"Once the Three-Eyed Golden Lion dies, the Star Dou Great Forest will surely launch an endless Beast Tide! If you touch it, every Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest from top to bottom will view you as their mortal enemy!"
"Yes! You have Shrek Academy as your backing, but I can tell you, with the Star Dou Great Forest's true strength, even if Shrek Academy goes all out, there isn't the slightest chance of victory!"
"Besides, you have no need to touch it at all! You have Ultimate Light yourself! What use do you have for it?!"
Listening to these two ranting madly in his Spiritual Sea, Lin Xuan couldn't help but laugh and said leisurely,
"Who said I wanted her Soul Ring? I just want to have a little chat with her."
With that, Lin Xuan's hands formed seals! The shadow beneath his feet suddenly surged, like ink dripping into clear water, expanding madly!
In the next moment, a massive pale shadow crashed down!
Divergent Sila Divine General—Mahoraga!
As soon as it appeared, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire area like a physical substance!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which was fleeing madly, suddenly felt the sky darken above it. It instinctively looked back, and then all its fur stood on end!
A massive pale hand that could cover the sky was already within reach!
It wanted to dodge, but it was too late!
Mahoraga's large hand grabbed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, pinning it firmly to the ground like one would a kitten!
"Roar—!!!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion let out an angry roar, its four claws struggling frantically. The golden flames beneath its dragon claws burned fiercely, yet it couldn't break free from the confinement of that pale hand!
It kicked its legs hard, swung its heads, and twisted its body, but Mahoraga's hand remained motionless.
"Stop struggling, little fellow." A voice filled with amusement sounded.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly looked up to see that hateful human, hands in his pockets, walking out from behind Mahoraga with a smile.
Moonlight fell upon him, making Lin Xuan's handsome face appear even less like a mortal's.
Seeing this face, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's previous daze instantly turned into pure rage!
It was the noble Emperor Auspicious Beast! Since birth, it had been the apple of the eye of the entire Star Dou Great Forest!
Even those Savage Beasts living in the Great Savage Lands wouldn't easily touch its body, each treating it with great respect!
And now, this human! He actually released this thing that was neither human nor ghost and even scarier than a Savage Beast to pin it to the ground!
And he even called it "little fellow"! This was simply unacceptable!!
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion roared repeatedly. Its voice was still a very pleasant and crisp female voice, but now it was filled with fury.
"Lowly human! You dare to attack me!" It roared while struggling, fire burning in all three of its eyes. "Do you know who I am?! Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
"I advise you to let me go immediately! Then get on your knees and apologize properly! Otherwise, you're dead! No one can save you!"
It paused, then suddenly added another sentence, its voice even louder, "Also! Don't call me a little fellow! Compared to me, you're the little fellow! I'm—not—little!"
"Fine, fine, fine. You're not a little fellow; you're an old fellow, okay?" Lin Xuan kept his hands in his pockets, smiling broadly, his tone full of teasing.
Hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion instinctively nodded, but then it quickly reacted and shook its heads frantically, the fire in its three eyes burning even brighter.
"You—!"
It was exasperated but didn't know how to refute. After holding it in for a long time, it simply stopped arguing about these trivial things with this hateful human.
"I'm warning you one last time! Let me go now!"
It shouted sharply. Although it was pinned to the ground and unable to move, its aura was still imposing. "Otherwise, when Uncle Chi Wang arrives, he will definitely beat you to death!"
Lin Xuan shook his head with a smile. Instead of being afraid, he began to speak to himself, "I've heard some very interesting records from my senior sister."
"Ancient texts say: Where the Auspicious Beast resides, all beasts receive protection. Its attribute is supreme and can be guided by humans. With the protection of the Auspicious Beast, one's future is limitless."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's struggling paused slightly.
"The Auspicious Beast protects Soul Beasts, greatly increasing their cultivation speed." Lin Xuan continued, the smile on his face growing more radiant.
"As for Attribute Guidance... it's using its attribute to refine a human's attribute, giving the human some Auspicious Aura, which is of immense benefit to future cultivation."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's three eyes widened simultaneously.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Lin Xuan clicked his tongue, his gaze scanning it up and down.
"Furthermore, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion possesses the bloodlines of Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire. Isn't that a coincidence? Besides Ultimate Light, I also happen to have the fire attribute."
He paused, his smile becoming increasingly meaningful. "Once I obtain it, at that time, Ultimate Light and Ultimate Fire will both belong to me alone..."
He drew out his words, finally letting out a chilling, wicked laugh. "Jie jie jie... what a wonderful thing that would be..."
All of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fur stood on end. Looking at Lin Xuan's increasingly perverted smile and that grin which looked particularly sinister under the moonlight, it felt a chill run from the tip of its tail straight to its head.
It finally got scared.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's gaze began to drift, looking left and right, not daring to look into Lin Xuan's eyes. It muttered, its voice becoming more and more guilty,
"Huh? Is... is there such a thing? Ha... haha... It sounds like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is really amazing..."
"But... but why are you telling me this?"
It suddenly looked up, staring at Lin Xuan with an innocent face. "I... I'm not the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."
That expression was as sincere as could be.
Lin Xuan almost burst out laughing. This little fellow was quite the actor.
He suppressed his laughter, and instead, an even more radiant smile appeared on his face.
"Is that so? Then... then that's great!"
Lin Xuan suddenly clapped his hands, his smile becoming even brighter. "Since you're not the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, then I can absorb your Soul Ring without any worries!"
As the words fell, he took a step forward, walking toward the Three-Eyed Golden Lion step by step.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion completely panicked. It struggled madly, its four legs kicking wildly in the air as it shouted loudly,
"Uncle Chi Wang! Uncle Chi Wang, come save me! A human wants to kill me! Help—!!!"
Mahoraga's large hand suddenly covered its mouth.
"Wuu wuu wuu—!"
It could only watch helplessly as that hateful human, with a wicked grin, walked toward it step by step, getting closer and closer.
Moonlight shone on him, casting a long shadow behind him. On that handsome face, the smile was as bright as a demon's.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion closed its eyes in despair. It was over, everything was over. Dying young—this Auspicious Beast is going to die here today...
But at that moment, its voice came to an abrupt halt because Lin Xuan's forehead had already come into contact with its red third eye.
Appearing in its sight were only Lin Xuan's black eyes, which held a faint smile.
As their eyes met, both the human and the beast trembled violently. Ripples of strange, distorted halos spread from the point of contact, enveloping them both.
That halo wasn't golden or red, but a strange, nearly transparent light that couldn't be described in words.
It was like a thin veil, yet also like a barrier, isolating the inside from the outside. The bodies of the human and the beast seemed to become transparent within this light.
Countless tiny specks of light could be seen flowing, traversing, intersecting, and merging within their bodies.
The light flickered indistinctly. With every shift in the light, both of their bodies would tremble, as if something was establishing a profound connection between them.
Space and time within the light circle seemed completely isolated from the outside world. The human and the beast inside felt as though endless ages had passed, sharing each other's memories...
