158: Don't let others get away with it
In the flash of light, the figures of Lin Chuan and the other two disappeared into the forest.The lake water suddenly surrounded him from all directions. A blue light shot out from Lin Chuan's body, instantly isolating all the water from flowing out.
"We're back?"
Looking at the familiar underwater forest nearby, it is obvious that we have returned to the Lake of Life.
"Human, die!"
A surge of soul power gushed out, stirring the Lake of Life. The Sky Blue Bull Python's thick tail entangled the water and rushed towards Lin Chuan rapidly.
"Da Ming, stop it!"
Before Lin Chuan could make a move, Xiao Wu flashed and stood in front of him.
"Sister Xiaowu, are you okay?" After seeing the familiar face clearly, the Sky Blue Bull Python was visibly delighted and quickly stopped attacking.
"Of course I'm fine!"
Xiao Wu blinked and looked at the Azure Bull Python with a strange expression.
The Azure Bull Python quickly asked again, "Where have you been this year, Sister Xiaowu? I thought..."
The voice suddenly paused, and he glanced at Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling with his huge bull eyes. Although he didn't continue speaking, the meaning was self-evident.
Even though she was slow, Xiao Wu could understand what the Azure Bull Python meant.
"Da Ming, I've said this many times, Xiaochuan is my friend. Although he seems difficult to get along with and has a bad personality at times, he is a really nice person, so don't be so sensitive!"
Lin Chuan: "…"
Thank you so much for giving him such a high evaluation!
Xiao Wu then narrated everything that had happened in the past year. Upon learning that she had gone to the place where the gods had passed down their legacy and had successfully passed the test and received the reward, the Sky Blue Bull Python's eyes widened.
"Sister Xiaowu, have you completed the test?"
"Of course not," Xiao Wu shook her head, "I just finished the second test, but I just encountered a bottleneck and needed to upgrade my spirit ring, so I came out temporarily."
"So they are out here to hunt soul beasts?"
The Azure Bull Python's face darkened and its eyes were full of hostility.
"What? Do you still want to stop me?" Lin Chuan smiled playfully and took the initiative to release his own aura.
Feeling the mountain-like pressure, the huge body of the Azure Bull Python suddenly stiffened, and an expression of disbelief appeared on its bull head.
"Contra? How is that possible?! You were only a Soul Emperor a year ago!"
"So you want to fight? Although I don't think highly of your spirit rings and spirit bones, but if you insist on giving them to me, I don't mind accepting them!"
Lin Chuan's eyes were extremely cold, and his tone was emotionless.
A deep fear flashed in the eyes of the Sky Blue Bull Python, and it felt endless murderous intent coming towards it.
Back then, when he was a Soul Emperor, he was able to bring tremendous pressure to it. Now that his strength has been further improved, his aura alone is enough to make people tremble with fear.
For a moment, the Azure Bull Python really didn't dare to say anything else.
Of course, it is not particularly afraid. Although it may not be a match in a one-on-one fight, it will have no problem protecting itself if it is combined with the Titan Ape on the shore.
Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming a little awkward, Xiao Wu quickly interrupted.
"Okay, okay, let's go up first!"
The three persons and the python surfaced separately.
"Sister Xiaowu!"
A figure as big as a hill appeared, blocking out the sunlight.
"Er Ming, long time no see!" Xiao Wu smiled on her pretty face. She jumped off the head of the Azure Bull Python and started to communicate enthusiastically with the Titan Giant Ape whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Lin Chuan, however, didn't have the time to stay here and watch them reunite enthusiastically.
"Sky Blue Bull Python, where did you and the Titan Giant Ape drive the Dark Demon Evil Tiger to?"
"You want to hunt the Dark Demon Evil Tiger?"
In response to Lin Chuan's question, a hint of fear flashed in the Sky Blue Bull Python's eyes.
In order to expel the Dark Demon Evil Tiger, it joined forces with the Titan Giant Ape and fought with it several times before successfully driving it out of the Star Dou Great Forest.
But that's all we can do. It's impossible to kill that guy.
However, if Lin Chuan was targeting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he wouldn't mind telling the other party. After all, this kind of creature that can only cultivate by devouring soul beasts and soul masters is almost a public enemy of soul beasts.
Thinking of this, the Azure Bull Python gently shook its huge bull head and said, "We don't know either. After Er Ming and I drove it out of the forest together, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger disappeared. But it fled to the south at that time. You can look for it in that direction."
"Thank you," Lin Chuan responded simply, then turned around and walked out first, "Lingling, let's go!"
Looking at the two people's gradually receding backs, the Sky Blue Bull Python was obviously a little dazed.
Xiao Wu at the side took the opportunity to smile sweetly, "See Daming, I told you that Xiaochuan is a very good person, completely different from other humans, so don't hate him so much!"
"Maybe!"
The Azure Bull Python responded with a noncommittal hum, but deep down in its heart it still harbored hostility towards humans.
"Forget it!" Xiao Wu shook her head helplessly, but did not force it. "I also want to start condensing my spirit rings. Da Ming and Er Ming, I'll ask you to protect me!"
The two hundred thousand year old soul beasts nodded in succession.
The Lake of Life is their territory, and very few soul beasts dare to enter.
Xiao Wu sat cross-legged, with her hands pinched into orchid fingers, her right palm facing up and placed flat on her thigh, her left hand upright in front of her chest, and a series of strange sounds coming out of her mouth.
Along with this strange sound, Xiao Wu's eyes gradually turned red, and two black soul rings quietly appeared, rhythmically moving up and down around her body.
At the same time, a huge white shadow gradually took shape behind her, which was the form of her martial spirit.
The red light gradually spread, as bright red as blood.
The Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python stayed quietly by the side, fearing that their movements would disturb Xiao Wu's condensation of her spirit ring. However, their two pairs of giant eyes revealed a strong desire.
Leaving the Lake of Life.
Lin Chuan took Ye Lingling for a stroll in the mixed forest area.
Under normal circumstances, the lifespan a Soul Emperor can endure is between fifteen thousand and twenty thousand years. However, since Ye Lingling has successfully condensed her life energy, her endurance range will be higher.
After searching for five days, I finally found a suitable soul beast.
A crabapple flower that is approximately 25,000 years old.
Unexpectedly, perhaps because it felt the strong breath of life from Ye Lingling, the crabapple flower did not choose to resist at all, and even offered itself proactively.
After a ceremony similar to a sacrifice, it completely turned into Ye Lingling's sixth soul ring.
"It can be sacrificed even if it is less than 100,000 years old? Is this crabapple flower so intelligent?"
Lin Chuan was obviously a little surprised, but no matter how you look at it, it was a good thing.
"Brother Chuan, another soul bone dropped." Ye Lingling was holding a skull in her hand, her expression full of surprise.
"Are you so lucky? Then you should absorb it as well!"
Ye Lingling nodded and absorbed the Begonia skull at the same time. The girl officially broke through to become a Soul Emperor, and her soul power jumped to level 63.
"Then the next step is to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"
According to the information left by the Azure Bull Python, Lin Chuan took Ye Lingling all the way south and soon left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Along the way, he never withdrew his mental power.
If I remember correctly, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has been cultivating for more than 60,000 years, and because it is a top-level soul beast, it can easily rival a 100,000-year soul beast.
Such a powerful existence is simply not something that ordinary soul masters can deal with.
Among the soul rings that Lin Chuan had absorbed before, there was also a similar top-level soul beast, that is, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear. However, if compared with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear is obviously slightly inferior.
Such a special top-level soul beast, as long as it appears nearby, there is no way it can escape his perception.
We continued searching, stopping and starting, for another ten days.
The realm of life continued to expand, and almost all plants became his eyes.
"Um?!"
A strange energy wave was fed back.
"Brother Chuan?!" Ye Lingling couldn't help but call out softly.
Lin Chuan's lips curled up slightly, "Finally found it, it should be right, Lingling, let's speed up!"
After saying that, he grabbed the girl's slender waist and rushed towards the target at full speed.
As they got closer, the rich power of the domain became clearer and clearer, which made Lin Chuan more certain that he had not found the wrong place.
After all, for soul beasts, only a hundred thousand year soul beast will definitely have a domain, and only top soul beasts will have the possibility of mastering a domain after ten thousand years of cultivation.
That almost undisguised aura of darkness and evil can only be possessed by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!
After a quick gallop, Lin Chuan and Ye Lingling landed steadily.
In front of me was a valley that never saw the sun.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The valley and the outside world are like two different worlds. Although the sun is bright outside, the valley is dark, as if the sun has been completely swallowed up by some darkness.
The huge valley was filled with gloom and was indescribably depressing.
"What a strange valley!"
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was definitely something wrong with the valley.
Lin Chuan also glanced over, a slight curve appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"This is it. Lingling, let's go in. The Dark Demon Evil Tiger has many tricks up his sleeve. You must follow me from now on."
"I understand, Brother Chuan."
Ye Lingling nodded obediently. The girl had a very clear understanding of her own positioning.
The two entered the valley one after the other.
Within Lin Chuan's perception range, a huge tiger was lying in the cave and snoring, obviously unaware of the danger.
In order not to alert the enemy, Lin Chuan used the mysterious power of life to become one with nature.
As they got closer, a huge soul beast lying on the ground came into view.
This was a giant tiger with a completely black body, without a trace of other colors on its body. If Lin Chuan had not locked onto its aura, it might not have been discovered based on its appearance hiding in the darkness.
He was over eight meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body. He probably weighed several thousand kilograms. The word "king" on his forehead was also black and as gloomy as fog.
The most peculiar thing is its long tail, which is made up of countless joints. It is standing upright, with a hook at the top, and is shining with a spooky light.
A light appeared in Lin Chuan's palm, and the Luoxia Bow quietly appeared in his palm.
Almost at the moment the arrow was shot, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes and a low roar came from its mouth.
"boom--"
The cave collapsed due to the violent explosion.
A black shadow rushed out from the smoke and dust, and landed steadily on the ground, staring at him fiercely with scarlet eyes. Some of its hair was still burnt and black blood was oozing out.
"Have you reacted yet? I underestimated you!"
Come to think of it, if the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was so easy to deal with, it would not have survived until now.
Although Lin Chuan has integrated into nature through the mystery of life, there will always be fluctuations when attacking. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which has mastered the wind attribute, can completely sense the changes in the wind through mental power.
If one could master the mystery of the wind of all things, perhaps the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger would not be able to react.
"roar--"
All that was heard was a roar from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and the evil dark aura instantly expanded, and with the speed of wind attributes, it pounced directly towards Lin Chuan.
Boom!
The sky darkened again, with strong winds, dark clouds and flashes of lightning.
The next moment, black thunder fell from the sky and struck Lin Chuan quickly.
"What a powerful aura, but this is what makes it interesting!"
Lin Chuan easily captured the movements of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and dodged calmly. With a flick of his fingers, several flaming arrows shot out one after another with unstoppable power.
The Dark Demon Evil Tiger, which had experienced attacks before, did not dare to be careless and swung its tail hook behind it suddenly.
A layer of strong gray airflow burst out instantly, which made the evil aura on its body even stronger. The gray light flowed through every corner of its body, wrapping it tightly.
"boom--"
The arrows hit one after another, and the terrifying power directly shattered the evil god's protection. The recoil force also blew the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger away, and it rolled on the ground for several times.
When he stood up again, he just felt a little dizzy, but he didn't suffer any serious injuries.
"The protection of the evil god is really powerful!"
Lin Chuan was obviously a little surprised. It seemed that he couldn't conquer it just by relying on the mystery of the fire of all things.
"That's enough warm-up, let's die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, brilliant flames and water suddenly appeared on the arrow, and two completely different forces spiraled around the golden arrow.
Feeling the strong threat of death, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger roared and launched an attack first.
In an instant, dozens of black and red light blades flew straight towards them.
At the same time, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger raised its head and opened its mouth. Layers of gray light quickly condensed into a ball around its body and rushed forward violently.
This is really a fight to the death!
"Water and fire penetrate the sky, break!"
A dazzling beam of light flashed, faster than the light blades and the dark demonic thunder. The power it brought during flight was enough to easily shatter all the light blades.
"boom--"
The arrow collided with the dark demon's evil thunder.
In an instant, the terrifying shock wave spread in all directions. Neither the ground nor the various plants could withstand such terrifying power and were torn into pieces in an instant.
There was not even a stalemate. The Dark Demon Evil Thunder was broken in an instant, and the arrow shot towards the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger without slowing down.
"roar--"
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had no time to dodge. It only let out a fearful roar before being pierced by the golden arrow.
The terrifying power actually cut the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in half.
Arrows whizzed past, and the mountain behind was completely destroyed, leaving behind a giant hole. Dense cracks covered the rocks, making them look shaky.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's limbs were separated and its breath quickly weakened.
I saw it slowly raise its head, with a strong sense of unwillingness flashing in its scarlet eyes. Its originally broken hind legs were suddenly wrapped in gray light, and its tail hook gathered energy.
"Do you want to fight your way through the arena of life and death and take me with you to die together?"
Lin Chuan chuckled, but did not give the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger a chance.
Another arrow was shot into the forehead of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The tail, which was condensing gray energy, twitched slightly, and then seemed to lose its support point and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger completely lost its voice, and after a moment, a circle of deep black soul ring quietly emerged.
The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the bright sunshine slowly shone through. The originally dark and depressing valley regained its vitality. It felt like the sky clearing up after the rain.
At this moment, a strange bead emitting blue and green light suddenly flew out.
"I can't let you run away!"
Lin Chuan flashed over, stretched out his hand and grasped the bead firmly, ignoring its struggle, suppressed it with his backhand and put it into the storage soul guide.
This is his spoils of war, how could he let others get away with it?
