Chapter 141 The Three-Eyed Golden Lion's Resentment! I Want Him Dead!
At the edge of the Starry Sky Forest, the Eye of Destiny on the forehead of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was emitting a faint yet profound purple-gold light.
It stood quietly on the desolate land left by the fall of the space beast. Under the aura of its auspicious beast, the chaotic atmosphere around it gradually became clear and orderly.
It maintained this posture for a while, sensing the surroundings, before slowly opening its slightly closed eyes.
The previous confusion was gone from those eyes; in their place was a cold, all-seeing insight.
The three-eyed golden lion slightly turned its head and spoke to the bear king beside it, who was still furious and about to chase after Xuanzi again:
"Bear King, stop. The Space Beast was definitely not killed by those Shrek people."
The bear's massive body stiffened abruptly. It lowered its head, its crimson eyes filled with confusion and resentment, and asked in a gruff voice:
"Not them? But in this area, within a hundred miles, besides these few humans reeking of blood, where else can you find a living person? I saw them lurking around the corpse with my own eyes, how could that be false?"
The three-eyed golden lion shook its head, its golden fur shimmering with a sacred glow in the dim light of the forest.
It turned around, looked in the direction Liu Yuan and Du Busi had left, and explained in a low voice:
"The two auras that killed the space beast were two other auras. Although those two auras had deliberately concealed themselves and fled quickly, the causal lines they left behind were still clearly visible in my Eye of Destiny."
"Those were two extremely domineering and destructive forces. One was filled with the contradiction between life and death, and the other was pure destructive power. This was completely different from the balanced and peaceful aura of those Shrek Soul Masters just now."
Xiong Jun only half understood what the auspicious beast said, but it had an almost blind trust in it.
It exhaled a heavy breath of hot air, sending the scorched earth flying everywhere, and asked through gritted teeth:
"Who is that? Which audacious human dares to hunt space beasts on our territory?"
The three-eyed golden lion's eyes flickered with a faint purple-gold light, but it ultimately shook its head helplessly.
"Their specific identity is still unknown. They left very decisively, which clearly indicates that it was premeditated and that they are extremely powerful."
"But I have thoroughly memorized their spiritual imprints through the Eye of Destiny. If I meet them again in the future, even if they have changed their appearance and aura, I will be able to recognize them at a glance."
At this point, a chilling killing intent unexpectedly appeared in the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's originally peaceful gaze.
As the emperor of the Star Dou Great Forest, it rarely harbors murderous intent, but this time is different.
"The Space Beast was also my good friend. We've known each other for many years. It's dead, and I must avenge it! No matter where the murderer goes, I will find him."
Upon seeing this, Xiong Jun slapped his chest, producing a thunderous roar, and nodded in agreement.
"Alright! Since you put it that way, I, Old Bear, will remember it."
"If you point out who it is in the future, I'll tear him to pieces for you! Whoever he is, anyone who dares to kill and rob in the core area will pay the price!"
Meanwhile, from Liu Yuan's perspective.
After leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, Du Busi took Liu Yuan and started flying at high speed.
Two streaks of light flashed across the sky above the Heavenly Soul Empire, creating sonic booms.
Liu Yuan was extremely anxious at this moment.
He continuously felt the explosive power brought by the level 55 Soul King within his body, as well as the newly awakened domain ability in his double pupils.
The feeling of controlling space made him itchy to fight, and he was eager to find a powerful enough opponent to test the limits of his combat strength.
However, just as they were flying over a remote mountain range within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire, the scene below caused both of them to freeze in mid-air.
It was a small village nestled at the mouth of a valley.
At this time, the village should have been filled with wisps of smoke rising from its chimneys, but in Liu Yuan and Du Busi's view, the village below appeared shrouded in smoke and fire, with most of it engulfed in flames.
Most shockingly, the open space at the village entrance was littered with corpses, and the air was filled with an extremely strong and nauseating smell of blood.
Poison Undying's emerald green double pupils narrowed slightly, and his face instantly darkened:
"What's going on? The smell of blood is so strong! A massacre of this scale is not the work of ordinary bandits."
Liu Yuan also stopped what he was doing.
His double pupils began to rotate spontaneously at that moment, his gaze piercing through the thick smoke and flames. As a genius with extremely strong mental power, he was exceptionally sensitive to this kind of negative energy.
"That's... an evil spirit master!"
Liu Yuan spoke coldly, his voice tinged with disgust.
Poison Undying nodded.
Both of them possess extremely strong mental power. Du Busi relies on his terrifying level of 98, with a divine sense as vast as the sea.
Liu Yuan, on the other hand, possesses an extremely keen sensitivity to energy flow, thanks to his innate double pupils and the influence of Electrolux.
Therefore, before the other party noticed them, the two had already discovered two shadows hidden deep in the village.
Liu Yuan's purplish-gold eyes flickered, and he quickly made a judgment:
"Two evil soul masters at the sixth ring level. Judging from their soul power fluctuations, although their foundation is somewhat weak, perhaps only at level sixty-five or sixty-six, their cold and twisted aura confirms that they are indeed two genuine evil soul masters, Soul Emperors."
Poison Undying's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and a faint green light emanated from his body, clearly indicating that he was truly enraged.
Evil spirit masters have always been universally hated on the continent. Their practice of slaughtering civilians and devouring their life essence for cultivation is unforgivable in the eyes of any powerful figure.
"These damned bugs, they'll never be eradicated." As Poison Undying spoke, he raised his right hand, clearly preparing to unleash his power from a distance and wipe out the two evil soul masters like crushing ants.
But just a second before Du Busi was about to make his move, Liu Yuan suddenly reached out and stopped him, turning his head and saying firmly:
"Master, leave them to me!"
Poison Undying was slightly taken aback and instinctively wanted to refuse.
In his view, Liu Yuan had only just broken through and hadn't had time to familiarize himself with the new soul skill.
But when he turned to look at Liu Yuan's calm and steady eyes, he suddenly remembered that Liu Yuan now possessed a level 55 soul power cultivation, as well as a once-in-a-millennium 100,000-year fifth soul ring and a head soul bone.
He is no longer the little guy who needed to be on guard against danger all the time, but a true strongman.
Even so, Poison Undying still hesitated, his brow furrowed as he said:
"But Liu Yuan, these are two evil soul masters whose cultivation has reached the Soul Emperor level. Their methods are unpredictable and unpredictable; you could be ambushed if you're not careful. How about I take care of one of them for you, and you can use the other one as practice?"
It wasn't that Du Busi looked down on Liu Yuan; he was just habitually considering safety from the perspective of an elder.
Moreover, Du Busiyi was always very clear about Liu Yuan's specific strength.
Before setting off to participate in the Soul Master Competition, Liu Yuan's strength was slightly better than Long Aotian's. However, as a top performer in the second awakening of his main body martial soul, Long Aotian's strength only hovered around the peak of the Soul King level, with his strength lying in his excellent ability to withstand attacks.
Therefore, Liu Yuan's strength at that time was only at this level.
Later, during the Soul Master Competition, Liu Yuan's strength improved significantly, and his overall combat power should have reached the Soul Emperor level, enabling him to defeat ordinary offensive Soul Emperors like Dai Yueheng.
However, Du Bu Si believes that Liu Yuan is still no match for the best among Ma Xiao Tao's Soul Emperors.
Although the two evil soul masters in front of them were not as powerful as Ma Xiaotao, the danger of evil soul masters lay in the mystery and cruelty of their martial souls.
Liu Yuan had indeed become stronger. At that time, the opponent had more people, and who could predict the methods of an evil soul master? What if the opponent used some self-harming secret technique? Du Busi was worried that he might not even be able to save Liu Yuan instantly.
However, despite the worry that the poison wouldn't kill him, Liu Yuan remained unusually calm. Looking at the two figures below who were collecting blood essence from the corpses of civilians, he said in a deep voice:
"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing."
"The newly acquired 'Forbidden Domain' and 'Dominator' need this kind of opponent to test their worth."
"Moreover, I will take care of my own safety."
Looking into Liu Yuan's confident and sharp double pupils, Du Bu Si finally slowly loosened his clenched fist.
He had to admit that Liu Yuan's ability to rise to the challenge and his calm and decisive demeanor did reassure him quite a bit.
"Alright, then it's up to you." Poison Undying took a step back and disappeared into the void.
"However, you must be careful. I will stay here to protect you, and I will intervene immediately if anything goes wrong. Remember, do not give the evil spirit master a chance to use those strange moves."
"clear."
Liu Yuan nodded, his gaze instantly sharpening.
