Douluo: Wuhun Qimen Formation, control everything!

The next morning.

Deep within the Starry Sky Forest, a man dressed in black robes sat quietly by the lake, surrounded by ancient trees, his aura heavy and profound.

The lake in front of them is the Lake of Life, and also the core area of ​​the Starry Sky Forest.

Suddenly, a golden light appeared beside him. After solidifying, the light transformed into a strange soul beast with golden fur.

Its body was like translucent crystal, its four claws like a dragon's, treading on golden flames. Its snout was long and slender, with golden scales hidden beneath its fur. In addition to its normal golden eyes, it had a vertical pupil on its forehead, shimmering with an eerie red.

He is the auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

“Auspicious beast? Instead of cultivating properly, what are you doing here?” Di Tian picked up the teacup from the stone table beside him, his movements calm.

The red light in the mythical beast's vertical pupils flickered slightly, then a flash of golden light transformed it into a slender figure. If Zhou Xuan were here, he would definitely notice that this person looked exactly like Jiang Nannan.
Logically speaking, since his cultivation level hadn't reached 100,000 years, he shouldn't have been able to transform into human form. However, she was an auspicious beast, naturally special.
"I sensed that same aura from last time?" Di Tian raised an eyebrow slightly.
The auspicious beast had mentioned this to him before, saying that it had sensed an aura that could change the fate of soul beasts, which immediately made Di Tian uneasy.
If there's anything he regrets about his hundreds of thousands of years of beast life, the first is not becoming a god, and the second is not being able to help the soul beasts escape their current state.
Since ten thousand years ago, the soul beast race has been constantly hunted by humans. Although they exist, humans still dare not venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, but with the development of humanity, this is only a matter of time.
So when he heard the words "change the fate of soul beasts," he became quite excited and searched the entire Star Dou Great Forest several times over.
As a result, during that period, all the spirit beasts in the entire Star Dou Great Forest were too frightened to go out and hunt.
However, he didn't find Zhou Xuan at the time. If he hadn't been wary of that old man from Shrek Academy, he might have left the Star Dou Great Forest to search for him.
Hearing the auspicious beast bring up this matter again made him take it seriously.
He put down the teacup, and it made a soft clinking sound as it touched the stone table.

"That human you were talking about?"

The girl, who was actually a mythical beast, nodded: "Yes, I want to go to the human world with him."

Di Tian shook his head without hesitation: "There is no room for discussion on this matter. You have never even met him. He is not of our kind, and his heart is bound to be different. You know how important you are to our race. I cannot let you go to the human world. Since you are interested in that human, I will just capture him."

His voice was deep and carried an undeniable air of authority.

As it happened, he also developed a slight interest in this human.

"Change the fate of the Soul Beast race?" Having reached Di Tian's level, he had learned some secrets. Changing the current fate of the Soul Beast race was not such a simple matter.

But the heavy responsibility of waiting for hundreds of thousands of years and finding a way out for the soul beast race weighed on his shoulders, so he would never give up any hope.

The auspicious beast nodded obediently. Actually, he already knew this would be the outcome before he asked, but asking wouldn't hurt, and what if Di Tian suddenly lost his mind and agreed?
"Let's go and meet this human." Di Tian slowly stood up, his aura restrained. Apart from his unparalleled temperament, he seemed like a real human.

"Can I go?" Di Tian is usually very strict, so she rarely goes out. Even if she can't leave the Star Dou Great Forest, she wants to go a little further and see more of the world.

Di Tian hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, but you have to stay by my side. It seems a bit dangerous to be with that person."

Upon hearing this, the girl who was actually a mythical beast looked puzzled. She tilted her head, her golden hair swaying gently. "Isn't it just a human? What's so dangerous about it?"

In her view, Di Tian was already one of the most powerful beings on this continent, so what could possibly make him feel threatened?
Moreover, in her previous perception, that human was pitifully weak, not even a match for her.

Di Tian's deep eyes seemed to pierce through the void as he calmly gazed into the distance: "That person has two Title Douluos and one Soul Douluo by his side, and all of them are quite strong. One of them is on par with Xiong Jun in strength."

"Equal to Xiong Jun?" The auspicious beast's little face changed slightly.

In his opinion, in this Star Dou Great Forest, apart from Di Tian, ​​if we're talking about who has the strongest fighting power, it would definitely be Xiong Jun, even though the Ten Thousand Demon King is ranked above Xiong Jun among the top ten ferocious beasts of humanity.

But what do a bunch of humans know about spirit beasts? If they really fought, Bear King would definitely have the upper hand.

But now that Di Tian has said that there is a titled Douluo who is on par with Xiong Jun, this has to surprise him.

Di Tian's aura was as deep and unfathomable as the ocean, yet it remained completely concealed: "While it poses no threat to me, it would be absolutely fatal to you."
Besides, that kid you mentioned, although pitifully weak, gave me a feeling that I couldn't see through him. Now I'm starting to believe what you said; this human is quite interesting.

The auspicious beast nodded happily, after all, this was the first time Di Tian had agreed with her. As for danger, she believed that as long as she stayed obediently by Di Tian's side, nothing would happen.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xuan and his two companions rested for a night and set off for the Star Dou Great Forest early in the morning.

He had already wasted a lot of time in Sai City, so he needed to hurry up.

The road outside the town was very smooth. Originally, there was no such road, but as more people walked on it, the road was cleared out. When they came out, they could even see many Soul Hunting Teams greeting them.

Moreover, the closer they got to the forest, the denser the soul energy in the air became. When they reached a clearing, Zhou Xuan signaled to stop.

"Uncle Wang, pack your things. We'll hike into the forest from here."

Wang Bo nodded, quickly checked his supplies, and after confirming that there were no problems, nodded to Zhou Xuan.

Master Xuan remained hidden in the shadows.

Upon entering the forest, the surrounding environment immediately became dark, mainly because the trees were so dense that even during the day, it appeared somewhat dim. Sunlight filtered through the dense canopy, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

"Young Master, what kind of spirit beast do you want this time?" Uncle Wang asked as he pushed aside the bushes in front of him.

"The best would actually be a spirit-type soul beast, but such soul beasts are extremely rare. If you really can't find one, you'll have to settle for something else," Zhou Xuan said, naming a few soul beasts.

"Your request is indeed not easy to fulfill," Elder Xuan's voice rang in Zhou Xuan's ear.

Zhou Xuan nodded: "I know, so I won't force it if we can't find it."

The types of soul beasts he was looking for were mostly less than ten thousand years old, so Zhou Xuan didn't dare to calculate their locations. If he were to calculate the location of a hundred-thousand-year-old soul beast, the backlash would definitely be enough to give him a hard time.

"If I can't find it in a day, I'll have to settle for something else." This was something he had planned long ago. Although the soul skill he obtained might not be very good, it wouldn't have a big impact on him.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes ahead.

A gray soul beast, about half the height of a person, darted out from the bushes. It was a hundred-year-old Shadow Cat. It watched the three of them warily, but showed no intention of attacking immediately.

Zhou Xuan only glanced at it, and the Shadow Cat tucked its tail between its legs and left.

He didn't have a habit of indiscriminate killing. As for the soul beasts, Zhou Xuan's attitude wasn't too bad, because in his view, although there were so-called 100,000-year-old soul beasts, there was even a Silver Dragon King in charge.

But they were still in a weaker position, so there was no hostility towards them, and they even felt sorry for them when reading the novel.

As they ventured deeper into the territory, even Zhou Xuan failed to notice that a peculiar aura had unknowingly enveloped them.

The group continued deeper into the forest, where the surrounding vegetation became increasingly dense and the light grew dimmer.

"Young Master, it seems there aren't any soul beasts you need around here," Uncle Wang said in a low voice.

Zhou Xuan nodded: "Let's keep going. This is only the outer edge of the mixed area. Although the juvenile forms of those soul beasts are not very old, they would never appear in a place like this." The three of them traveled for about half an hour when suddenly, a deafening roar came from afar. The sound waves impacted the surrounding trees as if they were tangible, causing the entire forest to tremble.

"This is..." Zhou Xuan's expression changed drastically, and he stopped abruptly.

Uncle Wang instantly stepped in front of Zhou Xuan, his expression grave: "Young Master, this aura..."

Elder Xuan's voice rang in Zhou Xuan's ears, his tone unusually serious: "A 100,000-year-old soul beast! And not just any ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast, this aura..."

"Lord Xiong!" Elder Xuan did not utter the last two words.

He believed that Zhou Xuan, with his knowledge, would naturally know the significance of those two words. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell Zhou Xuan, but rather that it would be useless to do so.

Zhou Xuan was shocked. The place they were in was clearly still the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest. Logically speaking, there should only be ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts here. How could there be a hundred-thousand-year-old existence?

Moreover, the aura emanating from that roar alone is something that no ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast could possess.

Zhou Xuan's face stiffened.

"So there's no problem?" He knew he shouldn't have been so superstitious about his divination skills.

But since we've already encountered this situation, there's no point in saying anything else. I can only force myself to calm down and think of a solution.

"Something's not right. We've only been in the mixed zone for a short time, how could we have encountered a 100,000-year-old soul beast?" Zhou Xuan said in a low voice, his brows furrowed.

Uncle Wang clenched his fists, his soul power surging, ready to fight at any moment: "Young Master, let's go!"

Just as Zhou Xuan was about to answer, another beastly roar came, even closer, as if the entire forest was trembling at the sound.

"It's too late," Elder Xuan's voice rang out. "It seems to be heading straight for us!"

"Coming for us?"

Zhou Xuan's mind raced, considering all the possibilities. The more this happened, the calmer he became.

Because of the enhancement from the essence of the Golden Tree, he has a very high affinity for nature.

After a calm investigation, he eventually discovered something was amiss.

"Being cheated!"

He quickly sent a telepathic message to Elder Xuan: "Elder Xuan, we may have been ambushed. Can you hold off this 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

As long as Elder Xuan can hold off this 100,000-year-old soul beast, their safety can still be guaranteed.

After all, Zhou Xuan never placed all his bets on Elder Xuan from the very beginning.

Elder Xuan frowned and replied, "Not necessarily."

Although he hadn't finished speaking, Zhou Xuan had already guessed: "This isn't an ordinary 100,000-year-old soul beast?"

Elder Xuan remained silent and did not answer.

"Is it a ferocious beast?"

The person who can make Elder Xuan so wary must be ranked very high, but we must first exclude Di Tian. Those above him would definitely not be used by anyone.

That leaves only the Demon King and the Bear Lord.

Zhou Xuan leaned more towards the latter. After all, even though a bear has a high level of cultivation, it's really too much to ask it to have a brain.

Moreover, Xiong Jun has a weakness, which is also the most exploitable point: his tribe.

"Is that Mr. Bear?"

Elder Xuan gave a wry smile, sometimes being too clever isn't a good thing: "Yes, I'll hold it off with all my might in a moment, and you can take the opportunity to leave."

I never expected that a simple Soul Hunt would cause so many unexpected problems.

"Zhou Xuan, Uncle Wang, you two must leave quickly!" Elder Xuan's voice was more solemn than ever before. In a flash, he stood in front of Zhou Xuan and Uncle Wang.

At this point, he no longer cared about hiding.

His soul power surged instantly, and a heavy, mountain-like aura spread out.

A deep, thunderous roar, filled with boundless anger and sorrow, resounded through the forest.

Rumble!
A giant tree a hundred meters ahead crashed down, the ground trembled violently, and a colossal black shadow charged forward with unparalleled momentum.

It was a giant bear that was over ten meters tall, covered in dark golden fur, each hair as hard as a steel needle.

Its eyes were blood-red, flashing with madness, and the terrifying fluctuations of its soul power distorted the air.

It is none other than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, one of the ten most ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest!
Xiong Jun's thick nostrils twitched, and his blood-red giant eyes stared intently at Zhou Xuan and his group, or more accurately, at the faint, peculiar aura emanating from them.

"It was you! You killed my child! I will make you pay with your lives!"

The roar of the bear was deafening. Its huge paw slammed into the ground, and the hard earth cracked instantly. Waves of yellowish-brown shockwaves, mixed with terrifying force, swept towards the three of them.

"Bear Lord! Calm down! There must be something fishy about this!" Elder Xuan roared, and the nine soul rings on his body suddenly lit up.

He pushed his hands forward, and his powerful soul force formed a barrier, attempting to block Xiong Jun's furious attack.

However, the power of the enraged Xiong Jun was terrifying. The earth-yellow shockwave crashed into the soul power barrier, producing a series of muffled explosions.

Elder Xuan let out a muffled groan, his body swaying slightly, clearly struggling somewhat. (End of Chapter)
