Chapter 115 The Deal with the Imperial Beast
He slowly circulated the "Golden Gang Evil-Repelling Body" technique, no longer deliberately restraining himself, but carefully releasing a wisp of the supreme evil-repelling power originating from the essence of the technique.
This aura was extremely faint, yet it carried an ancient, domineering, and majestic status that surpassed all beasts!
It is different from the dragon's might of the Emperor Heaven; it is a more primal and pure aura of "king".
The three-eyed golden lion within the pillar of light abruptly raised its head, a flicker of extreme confusion and curiosity flashing in its crimson-gold eyes. The crystalline Eye of Destiny on its forehead even shimmered on its own, as if analyzing and tracing the source of this strange aura. It could sense that the owner of this aura was of extremely high status, yet also seemed remarkably weak?
This sense of contradiction deeply attracted her.
It let out a low growl, signaling the surrounding soul beasts to stay quiet. Then, it took elegant steps, following the faint aura of supreme power, and walked with a puzzled look toward the direction where Dai Youheng was hiding.
Upon seeing this, Dai Youheng immediately retreated, maintaining a distance from the auspicious beast, ensuring it neither lost him nor immediately recognized him. Like a seasoned hunter, he used his "scent" to lure the most precious prey of the forest away from the gathering place of the soul beasts.
Only when he ventured deep into a tranquil, ancient forest did Dai Youheng finally stop, turn around, and calmly face the imperial beast that had been pursuing him.
The three-eyed golden lion stopped in its tracks. It finally saw the source of the aura: it was a human boy!
The curiosity in its eyes instantly turned into vigilance and a hint of annoyance at being mocked. It let out a low growl with a threatening tone, and its body shone with golden light. Its powerful spiritual energy pressed down on Dai Youheng as if it were a physical object, as if questioning this insignificant human for daring to possess and desecrate such a noble aura!
Dai Youheng took a deep breath, knowing that the most crucial moment had arrived. He had to complete that vital step without provoking the other party.
The auspicious beast emitted bursts of light, a sign that it had entered battle stance.
Her golden fur and her entire body, seemingly made of translucent crystal, possessed an otherworldly quality. Her overall form resembled a lion, but her four claws were like those of a dragon, each claw resting upon a ball of golden flame.
This guy possesses the dual extreme attributes of extreme fire and extreme light, and also has the power of destiny and the bloodline of the golden dragon. Although his cultivation is only 15,000 years, he can contend with ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beasts.
In other words, its combat power is equivalent to that of a low-level Title Douluo without ultimate attributes.
Despite being forced back by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's terrifying aura, which was a mixture of anger at being deceived and extreme attributes, Dai Youheng's eyes remained calm.
He knew that when communicating with the emperor of this forest, strength was the foundation for equal dialogue.
"Lingya!"
With a low shout, an ice-blue figure suddenly appeared in front of Dai Youheng as if it had moved!
The nine spirit rings around Ice Void Douluo Ling Ya instantly bloomed, radiating a chilling aura. With a single palm strike, a perpetually frozen ice wall, several meters thick and shimmering with extreme ice patterns, rose up with a deafening roar!
"boom--!"
The three-eyed golden lion, its dragon claw wolf imbued with extreme fire and light, slammed its fist against the ice wall, unleashing a deafening roar. Ice shards flew everywhere, the ice wall trembled violently, and even tiny cracks appeared on its surface, yet it withstood this attack, comparable to that of a Title Douluo!
"Title Douluo!" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion leaped backward, landing with a roar of shock and rage. It spoke in human language, its voice clear yet chilling, "Human, you truly harbor malicious intentions! Bringing a Title Douluo into the depths of the forest, you simply wanted to hunt me down!"
She completely misunderstood Dai Youheng's thoughts, but that was normal. Dai Youheng needed his fifth spirit ring at the moment, and she was the right age and had a titled Douluo. What else could he want if not to hunt her down?
Her third vertical pupil blazed red, the surrounding air distorted by the extreme fire and shone brilliantly by the extreme light, clearly indicating that she was ready for a full-scale battle and could summon her guardian at any moment.
"My auspicious beast, please calm down! If I really wanted to harm you, there would be more than one Title Douluo here right now!" Dai Youheng shouted, trying to stabilize the situation.
Dai Youheng didn't foolishly confront her head-on. After all, people have mouths to explain themselves, and Ling Ya wasn't Xuanzi, so he couldn't overpower the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced. If they really fought, things would get complicated once the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced's bodyguard, the Crimson King, arrived.
Time was of the essence, and Dai Youheng no longer hesitated. Focusing her mind, she said, "Sister Xuedi, please!"
The next moment, Dai Youheng's temperament suddenly changed, his original calmness was replaced by an ancient coldness and nobility. In the depths of his eyes, it seemed as if a vast snowfield emerged, and a faint but extremely high-ranking aura of extreme ice mixed with a trace of soul pressure spread out.
At the same time, a blurry yet incredibly clear phantom of an ice and snow maiden slowly coalesced behind him.
"Auspicious beast, stop! It's me, I am the Snow Empress, the King of the Far North." A clear and majestic female voice came from Dai Youheng's mouth, completely different from his usual tone.
The three-eyed golden-faced woman, who was about to pounce again, suddenly stopped. Her vertical pupils, flashing red with destiny light, stared intently at the illusory figure, filled with disbelief. "The Snow Empress? The Snow Empress of the far north? How can you be inside a human body?"
"It's a long story. In short, I was in great danger and my body and soul were about to perish. It was this young man who, in a special way, allowed me to stay and saved my life. I swear on my soul that he did not come here to harm you." The Snow Emperor, through Dai Youheng's words, spoke with a convincing sincerity and a hint of sadness.
The golden light and flames surrounding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion subsided slightly, but its vigilance remained. "Snow Empress, I respect you as the King of the Far North. But you say he didn't come to harm me. Then what is the purpose of bringing me here, accompanied by a Title Douluo?"
"Auspicious Beast, we have not brought you here with any ill intentions, but simply to make a deal with you. This young man is named Dai Youheng, and he has a grand goal for the future, which requires your power of destiny to lend a helping hand. In return, he will give you a treasure that would make any soul beast, even a ferocious beast, envious," said the Snow Emperor.
"The power of destiny? Absolutely impossible!" The three-eyed golden-faced man reacted extremely fiercely, as if his sore spot had been touched. "Destiny is my foundation. Being bound by destiny means eternal entanglement and bondage! I would rather die fighting than agree to this."
Dai Youheng was not surprised by her reaction. In fact, whether in the original work or the anime, Huo Yuhao's act of forcibly seizing the power of the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Man's destiny with the help of Xuanzi or Electrolux was not good for her. Although they all said that it would not harm her, that was only on the surface.
Unbeknownst to them, their fates were already intertwined, destined to be entangled for life, which indirectly led to the tragic fate of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
The Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Woman also knew this, which is why, in the original story, when she was captured by Xuanzi and Huo Yuhao seized her power of destiny, her first reaction was to die.
Unfortunately, compared to Xuanzi, she was far too weak; she couldn't even die.
Once her fate became intertwined with Huo Yuhao's, she was destined to die only for him.
At this moment, Dai Youheng regained control of his body. He interrupted the three-eyed golden-faced man's resolute words, his tone quick and clear, "Auspicious Beast, listen to me! I possess an ancient secret technique that can briefly connect our powers, extracting only a trace of dissipated destiny power without touching the very source of our destinies. The process will be like having a drop of blood taken from you; I will never have any karmic entanglement with you. The Title Douluo beside me is only here to ensure the transaction is not interfered with, not for you!"
As Dai Youheng cultivated the "Golden罡 Exorcising Body," his physique gradually approached the legendary exorcising power.
The Bixie clan possesses an extremely strong ability to devour and is very domineering. Legend has it that even a single drop of blood that has left the body cannot escape the control of an adult Bixie.
As long as Dai Youheng activates this technique and connects his soul power with the destiny power of the Three-Eyed Golden-Faced Demon, the power of warding off evil will devour that portion of the destiny power. Furthermore, due to the domineering nature of the power of warding off evil, Youheng can instantly reclaim the power of warding off evil that has already devoured a small portion of the destiny power, thereby obtaining the destiny power.
In fact, Youheng didn't want things to be so complicated, but he had no choice. He didn't have Xuanzi's combat power, which far surpassed that of the auspicious beasts. If Lingya fought with the auspicious beasts, even with the addition of the ultimate ice, he wouldn't be able to defeat him in a short time.
Once the Crimson King arrives, everything will become empty talk. And if Xuanzi also arrives, the auspicious beast will immediately be controlled by him, just like in the original story, forcibly linked by Huo Yuhao, causing the two to be bound by fate.
When strength is insufficient, a more conciliatory approach can only be adopted.
