Thank you so much for giving him such a 'high' evaluation!
Xiao Wu then recounted everything that had happened in the past year. Upon learning that she had gone to the land of divine inheritance and had successfully passed the test and received a reward, the Azure Bull Python's eyes widened in astonishment.
"So, Sister Xiaowu, have you completed the test?"
“Of course not,” Xiao Wu shook her head. “I just finished the second test, but I just happened to encounter a bottleneck and needed to advance my soul ring, so I came out temporarily.”
"So they came out to hunt soul beasts?"
The Azure Bull Python's expression darkened, and its eyes filled with hostility.
"What? You don't mean you want to stop me, do you?" Lin Chuan smiled playfully and released his aura.
Feeling the oppressive force like a mountain, the Azure Bull Python's massive body stiffened abruptly, 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, do you want to fight? Although I don't think much of your spirit rings and spirit bones, since you're so eager to offer them up, I don't mind taking them!"
Lin Chuan's gaze was unusually cold, and his tone was devoid of any emotion.
A deep sense of dread flashed in the eyes of the Azure Bull Python, and it felt an endless killing intent rushing towards it.
Even when it was just a Soul Emperor, it could put immense pressure on it. Now, its strength has increased even further, and its mere aura is enough to make people's hearts tremble.
For a moment, the Azure Bull Python dared not say anything more.
Of course, it wasn't particularly afraid. Although it might not be a match for the Titan Ape on the shore, it could still protect itself if the Titan Ape was added to the mix.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting a bit awkward, Xiao Wu quickly changed the subject.
"Alright, alright, let's go upstairs first!"
The three people and the python emerged from the water.
"Sister Xiao Wu!"
A figure as large as a small mountain appeared, blocking out the sunlight.
"Erming, it's been a long time!" Xiaowu smiled and jumped off the head of the Azure Bull Python, warmly greeting the Titan Giant Ape she hadn't seen in a long time.
Lin Chuan, however, did not have the time to stay here and watch them happily reunite.
"Azure Bull Python, where did you and the Titan Giant Ape drive that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger back then?"
"You want to hunt the Dark Demon God Tiger?"
Faced with Lin Chuan's question, a hint of apprehension flashed in the eyes of the Azure Bull Python.
In order to drive away that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, it had to fight alongside the Titan Giant Ape, battling it several times before finally managing to expel it from the Star Dou Great Forest.
But that's all we can do; it's impossible to kill that guy.
However, if Lin Chuan had his eye on the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, he wouldn't mind telling the other party, since such a creature that could only cultivate by devouring soul beasts and soul masters was practically the enemy of soul beasts.
Thinking of this, the Azure Bull Python gently shook its huge bull head. "We don't know either. After Erming and I drove it out of the forest, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger disappeared. However, it fled south. You can go and look in that direction."
"Thank you," Lin Chuan replied simply, then turned and walked out first. "Lingling, let's go!"
Watching the two figures gradually disappear into the distance, the Azure Bull Python was clearly somewhat stunned.
Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side, took the opportunity to smile sweetly and said, "See, Daming? I told you Xiao Chuan was a good person, completely different from other humans, so don't hate him so much!"
"Maybe!"
The azure bull python responded with a noncommittal buzz, but deep down it still harbored hostility towards humans.
"Never mind!" Xiao Wu shook her head helplessly, but didn't insist. "I need to start condensing my soul rings now. Da Ming and Er Ming, I'll have to ask you two to protect me!"
The two 100,000-year-old soul beasts nodded in agreement.
As their territory, the Lake of Life is rarely visited by any soul beast.
Xiao Wu sat cross-legged, her hands forming orchid fingers, her right palm facing up and resting flat on her thigh, her left hand held upright in front of her chest, and she made a series of strange sounds.
As the strange sound rang out, Xiao Wu's eyes gradually turned red, and two black soul rings quietly appeared, pulsating around her body.
At the same time, a huge white phantom gradually took shape behind her, which was her martial soul form.
The red light gradually spread, becoming as red as blood.
The Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python stood quietly to the side, afraid that any large movements would disturb Xiao Wu's condensation of her soul rings, but their giant eyes revealed a strong sense of longing.
Leave the Lake of Life.
Lin Chuan led Ye Lingling as they wandered around the mixed forest area.
Under normal circumstances, a Soul Emperor can withstand approximately 15,000 to 20,000 years of life force. However, since Ye Lingling successfully condensed life energy, her tolerance range will be even higher.
After searching for five days, they finally found a suitable soul beast.
A crabapple blossom that is approximately 25,000 years old.
Unexpectedly, perhaps sensing the strong life force emanating from Ye Lingling, the begonia flower did not choose to resist at all, and even offered itself up willingly.
After a ritual similar to a sacrifice, it was completely transformed into Ye Lingling's sixth soul ring.
"Can a flower less than 100,000 years old be used for sacrifice? Is this begonia flower that intelligent?"
Lin Chuan was clearly somewhat surprised, but no matter how you looked at it, it was a good thing.
"Brother Chuan, a piece of soul bone also fell down." Ye Lingling was holding a skull in her hands, her expression full of surprise.
"Such good luck? Then you can absorb it too!"
Ye Lingling nodded and absorbed the begonia skull. The girl officially broke through to become a Soul Emperor, and her soul power jumped to level sixty-three.
"Then the next step is to find the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"
Based on the information left by the Azure Bull Python, Lin Chuan led Ye Lingling south and soon left the Star Dou Great Forest.
Throughout the journey, he never withdrew his mental energy.
If I remember correctly, that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger had a cultivation level of over 60,000 years, and because it was a top-tier soul beast, it could easily rival a 100,000-year-old soul beast.
Such a powerful being is simply beyond the capabilities of ordinary Soul Masters.
Among the soul rings Lin Chuan had absorbed before, there was a similar top-tier soul beast, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear. However, compared to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear was obviously slightly inferior.
Such a special top-tier soul beast could not possibly escape his senses if it appeared nearby.
The search continued, with stops and starts, and another ten days passed.
His vision of life expanded, and almost every plant became his eye.
"Um?!"
A strange energy fluctuation returned.
"Brother Chuan?!" Ye Lingling couldn't help but call out softly.
Lin Chuan's lips curled slightly. "We've finally found it. It shouldn't be wrong. Lingling, let's speed things up!"
After saying that, he grabbed the girl's slender waist and sped off towards their target at full speed.
As they drew closer, the intense domain power became increasingly clear, further confirming Lin Chuan's belief that he hadn't come to the wrong place.
After all, for soul beasts, only 100,000-year-old soul beasts are guaranteed to possess a domain, and only top-tier soul beasts have the potential to master a domain with 10,000 years of cultivation.
That almost undisguised aura of darkness and evil could only be possessed by the Dark Demon God Tiger!
After a rapid journey, Lin Chuan landed steadily with Ye Lingling on his back.
Before them lay a valley where the sun never shone.
The inside and outside of the valley were two completely different worlds. While the outside was bright and sunny, the valley was shrouded in darkness, as if the sunlight had been completely swallowed up by some kind of darkness.
The vast valley was now eerily gloomy, filled with an indescribable sense of oppression.
"What a strange valley!"
Anyone with eyes can see that something is definitely wrong with the valley.
Lin Chuan also glanced over, a faint smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"This is it, Lingling, let's go in. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger has many tricks up its sleeve, so be sure to follow me from now on."
"I understand, Brother Chuan."
Ye Lingling nodded obediently; the girl had a fairly clear understanding of her own position.
The two entered the valley one after the other.
Within Lin Chuan's perception range, a huge tiger was fast asleep inside the cave, clearly unaware of the approaching danger.
To avoid alerting the enemy, Lin Chuan used the power of life's mysteries to merge with nature.
As they drew closer, a gigantic soul beast lying on the ground came into view.
This was a giant tiger, entirely black, without a single other color on its body. If Lin Chuan hadn't locked onto its aura, he might not have been able to spot it in the darkness based solely on its appearance.
It was over eight meters long, with bulging muscles all over its body, and probably weighed several thousand kilograms. The "king" character on its forehead was also black, as gloomy as mist.
Its most peculiar feature is its long tail, composed of countless joints, which stands upright with a barb at the very tip, and is now gleaming with a sinister light.
A light shone from Lin Chuan's palm, and the Sunset Bow quietly appeared in his hand.
Almost the instant the arrow was released, the Dark Demon Tiger lying on the ground suddenly opened its eyes, and a low roar came from its mouth.
