Douluo Continent: The Ten Kings of Hell, I am the Emperor of the Underworld

Chapter 82 The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Enmity of the Divine Realm

Upon returning to the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian looked up and let out a long dragon roar.

The entire Star Dou Great Forest fell silent at this moment, and many soul beasts looked towards the core area.

Some distance from the Lake of Life, several powerful soul beasts that were absorbing energy from a large, fat worm suddenly looked up.

"It is the Beast God who is summoning us."

"How did the Beast God awaken so quickly?"

"Hurry, something terrible must have happened."

The several terrifying soul beasts exchanged a few words and unanimously decided to head to the Lake of Life immediately.

"What should we do with this ice silkworm?"

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm tried its best to minimize its presence, but it was too attractive, and several soul beasts were reluctant to leave it there.

“Let’s take it with us.”

Di Tian also knew of the existence of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, but they were not worried that Di Tian would claim the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm for himself and monopolize its energy.

Beside the Lake of Life.

Ning Qiuyang sensed several powerful auras rapidly approaching the area.

Before long, a swan, as beautiful as the most perfect emerald, flew over first.

"Why did you wake up early?"

The Jade Swan's voice was ethereal and gentle, and her tone when speaking to Di Tian carried a hint of concern.

Di Tian also showed a rare gentleness when facing the jade swan.

"No rush, I'll tell you the reason after they all arrive."

Before long, a huge dark gold dinosaur came with heavy steps, each step causing the earth to tremble violently.

Behind him, a three-headed red demon mastiff followed closely.

Further back were a stunningly beautiful woman and a handsome young man.

They looked like humans, but exuded a fierce aura, clearly indicating that they were also soul beasts over 100,000 years old.

Most of the people who were supposed to come have arrived.

Xiong Jun looked down at Ning Qiuyang from his high vantage point.

"How come there's a human here? Did he disturb the Beast God's slumber?"

Xiong Jun was not only tall, but also had an incredibly loud voice, which sounded like thunder.

Di Tian glanced at Xiong Jun.

Among the spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest that are over 100,000 years old, Xiong Jun has the worst temper and sometimes even dares to talk back to him.

"Shut up."

Di Tian gave a reprimand, and although Xiong Jun was dissatisfied, he could only obediently lower his head.

Seeing that Xiong Jun, who was most prone to getting angry, had stopped making a fuss, Di Tian gave Ning Qiuyang a brief introduction of them before explaining why he had summoned them.

After Di Tian finished speaking, the ferocious beasts fell silent for a moment.

"Beast God, are you telling the truth? Is there really a world in this human realm that is not under the jurisdiction of the divine realm, where we can be free from the heavenly tribulations?"

"That alluring woman asked."

Even Xiong Jun restrained his domineering and fierce aura, as if he was worried about frightening Ning Qiuyang.

It now deeply regrets that it spoke too loudly and in a rather impolite tone, which may have left a bad impression on the human.

No wonder they were so surprised; the heavenly tribulation was truly terrifying.

For these soul beasts, the tribulation that descends every 100,000 years is a knife hanging over their necks.

Even though they are among the top soul beasts, none of them can guarantee that they will survive the heavenly tribulation safely.

Since the Beast God summoned them, he must have verified their authenticity, so their credibility is extremely high.

Di Tian did not answer Zi Ji's question, but instead asked Ning Qiuyang, "Among them, who do you think is suitable to become one of the three guardian beasts of the underworld?"

Di Tian actually had a bias in his heart, but only Ning Qiuyang could make the decision.

Ning Qiuyang surveyed the spirit beasts for a moment, when suddenly a voice called out:
"Pick me, pick me! I'm about to become a million-year-old soul beast. You definitely won't regret choosing me."

The large, fleshy worm, being carried by the three-headed red demon mastiff, twisted its plump body and said.

"Shut up."

Several ferocious beasts glared angrily at Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, and the Crimson King even smashed Tianmeng Ice Silkworm to the ground.

Although the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has few offensive capabilities, it is truly ancient.

If they were chosen by this human, they would not only lose a spot to escape the heavenly tribulation, but they would also be unable to absorb the vast energy within the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.

Ning Qiuyang glanced at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, surprised that it had been brought along as well.

The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm is indeed nearly a million years old, but it is clearly not suitable as a prison-suppressing divine beast.

Ning Qiuyang has already made a decision, but he has only decided on two.

"Two of them are suitable to become the Prison Guardian Beasts. The soul beast suitable for the remaining divine beast position is also in the Star Dou Great Forest. Please help us find it, Beast God."

"two?"

Hearing Ning Qiuyang say this, Xiong Jun and the others felt a little uneasy.

Di Tian, ​​however, was filled with doubt.

Those present were all top-tier soul beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest. Among them were some unsuitable to become Prison-Suppressing Divine Beasts, while others, some less than 100,000 years old, were...?
"Tell me, what kind of spirit beast are you looking for?"

Ning Qiuyang said, "The Three-Eyed Golden Lion."

"impossible."

Di Tian resolutely refused.

Although the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is not a soul beast that is more than 100,000 years old, its significance to the Star Dou Great Forest is even greater than that of a soul beast that is more than 100,000 years old.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion can increase the cultivation speed of soul beasts and even improve the probability of soul beasts breaking through the 100,000-year bottleneck. It is related to the rise and fall of the entire Star Dou Great Forest, and Di Tian absolutely cannot allow the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to have any problems.

Ning Qiuyang had anticipated Di Tian's reaction before saying this, and asked directly:
Do you really think it's safe for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to stay in the Star Dou Great Forest?

Di Tian immediately replied, "With me here, no one can harm the auspicious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Ning Qiuyang pointed to the sky.

"Perhaps no one can harm the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but what about them?"

Di Tian and Bi Ji's expressions changed, and they understood Ning Qiuyang's meaning.

Humans are no match for them, but it's not just humans who target soul beasts; there are also those high and mighty beings.

From the prohibition of soul beasts from becoming gods to the heavenly tribulations hanging over their heads, the malice these gods harbor towards soul beasts is all too obvious.

Di Tian was startled and his face turned ugly.

Would those gods really be so shameless as to personally target auspicious beasts?
"Well, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion can only truly be safe in the underworld, where the gods cannot reach."

After a long silence, Di Tian slowly said:

"Red King, go and bring the auspicious beast."

"Yes."

Emperor Tian had been asleep for a long time, and the Crimson King had been responsible for guarding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Not long after the Crimson King left, he brought back a three-eyed soul beast with a lion's body and dragon claws, its entire body as clear as crystal.

At this time, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was not yet ten thousand years old, but she was not afraid under the gaze of a group of ferocious beasts, and just looked at Ning Qiuyang with curiosity.

Di Tian looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with a mixture of expectation and hesitation. He really didn't want the Three-Eyed Golden Lion to leave the Star Dou Great Forest unless absolutely necessary, but he didn't dare to gamble the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's life on the character of those gods.

"This is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Now you can tell us about the other two candidates you chose for the Prison Guardian Beasts."

"of course."
