Douluo Continent: The Eternal Dawn

Chapter 60 Light and Darkness, From Adversity to Prosperity
In Tang Ya's opinion, this golden soul beast was clearly more powerful than the cyclops of light, and she couldn't help but whisper a reminder to Ye Xixuan.

"Xi Xuan".

"Sister Xiaoya, it's alright." Ye Xixuan put his arm around Tang Ya's slender waist and comforted her softly.

The three-eyed golden lion stared at Ye Xixuan with wide curiosity. This was the first time it had ever seen a human with such a pure physique and affinity for the element of light; such a physique was practically identical to its own. If it weren't for Ye Xixuan's human-like appearance, it might even have suspected that he was one of its own kind.

Under the watchful eyes of Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion raised its right forepaw and easily shattered the head of the Cyclops of Light. A strange bone, as dazzling as crystal, immediately appeared in the sight of the two humans and the beast.

It was a miniature human skull, radiating a golden-white light that gave people a warm feeling.

Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya both stared wide-eyed in surprise.

"Head bone?"

While a single-attribute Light Cyclops may not be as powerful as the Twin Cyclops, it is still considered a high-level existence within the entire Soul Beast race. Not to mention, this is an extremely rare head Soul Bone.

The most obvious characteristic of the Light attribute soul bone is that its energy is gentle and can be absorbed by soul masters of almost any attribute martial soul. The head soul bone has the effect of nourishing and enhancing the soul master's spiritual power, making it a top-grade soul bone among ten-thousand-year soul bones.

The three-eyed golden lion used its claws to pull the soul bone in front of Ye Xixuan, and its human-like eyes clearly revealed its meaning.

Ye Xixuan bent down and picked up the head bone of the Ten Thousand Year Light Cyclops, saying uncertainly, "For me?"

The three-eyed golden lion arrogantly raised its large head and stopped looking at Ye Xixuan.

Ye Xixuan first stored the soul bone in his storage soul tool, then grabbed Tang Ya and turned to leave decisively. The two figures quickly disappeared into the distant dense forest.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion couldn't help but look again in the direction where Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya had left. As if guided by fate, it eventually developed a sense of curiosity about the human world.

Just then, another dark red figure arrived beside the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. It was over five meters long, extremely majestic, and somewhat resembled a lion, but it had three identical large heads.

The three-headed spirit beast, resembling a lion, was unusually friendly towards the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, not even inquiring about the two human spirit masters from before. This wasn't just out of respect for the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, but more so because it felt that the two human spirit masters, with their cultivation levels, couldn't possibly have harmed an Emperor-level auspicious beast whose combat power was comparable to a 100,000-year-old spirit beast.

“Auspicious beast, it’s time for us to go back.”

"Hmm." The three-eyed golden lion responded softly, and surprisingly, it spoke in human language, and in a clear and melodious female voice.

“Red King, the martial soul of that human just now, like that of Di Tian, ​​is the ultimate dark attribute.”

"The same extreme dark attribute as Di Tian?!" The Crimson King couldn't help but roar. Previously, it was quite far away and could only sense the aura of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, without investigating in detail.

"How could a human soul master possess an innate ultimate attribute martial soul? Normally, a human soul master's body should be completely unable to withstand that ultimate power."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion continued, "And his constitution seems to be the same as mine, a luminous constitution, but even purer."

"Light and darkness in tandem, a reversal of fortune?!" The shock in the Crimson King's six eyes intensified. It only possessed the Hellfire ability, which was infinitely close to the ultimate form of fire. While Di Tian's dark attribute was indeed at its peak, it was still far from reaching the point of a reversal of fortune.

Theoretically speaking, when two opposing attributes reach their extremes, a qualitative change may occur.

For example, extreme ice can suddenly transform into extreme fire, and the coldest power can be transformed into the most terrifying heat. The same applies to the interplay between light and darkness; they can also transform back and forth.

However, the ability to control the transformation from adversity to prosperity through extreme attributes can only be achieved through divine sense, just like their master who sleeps deep beneath the Star Dou Great Forest.

After a long silence, the Crimson King's tone became noticeably more solemn. "Auspicious Beast, let's go see Emperor Tian now, and then you can tell him all about these things."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked at the Crimson King with a puzzled expression, but it did not voice its thoughts.

'Is it necessary for a human Soul Master to alarm Di Tian?'

On the other side, when Ye Xixuan and Tang Ya walked out of the Star Dou Great Forest, it was already completely dark.

The two of them, disregarding their fatigue, quickly moved away from the radiation range of the Starry Sky Forest and finally arrived at a vast plain.

Exhausted and hungry, the carefree Tang Ya asked Ye Xixuan to set up the tent while she took out various foods she had brought with her from her storage soul tool and placed them in front of her.

"Hehe, let's rest here for the night before going back to the academy."

"Alright." Seeing Tang Ya's high spirits, Ye Xixuan didn't bring up her martial soul at this moment. Besides, his martial soul could even absorb the evil fire of Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul, so there was no reason why he couldn't suppress the evil energy in Tang Ya's martial soul.

After eating and drinking her fill, Tang Ya lay lazily in the tent, gazing at Ye Xixuan's back by the campfire, her eyes welling up with tears.

"Xi Xuan".

"What's wrong, Sister Xiaoya?" Ye Xixuan noticed that Tang Ya's tone was a little off, so he quickly turned around and found that Tang Ya's eyes were full of crystal tears.

"My martial soul has become like this, will the academy still accept me?" Although Tang Ya seems carefree, she actually has a delicate side and always keeps some things to herself.

Ye Xixuan was stunned for a moment, "Sister Xiaoya, what are you talking about? Why won't the academy accept you anymore?"

"Xi Xuan, you don't need to comfort me anymore," Tang Ya said sadly.

“I know my own situation best. Once this talent in my martial soul's origin is activated, it can never be stopped. My mind has already been affected just now, and one day I will lose control of myself and eventually fall into becoming an evil soul master. If I continue to stay in the academy with you, I will only become a burden to you in the future. In fact, with your talent, you shouldn't have chosen someone like me in the first place.”

"Who said you would fall into the trap of becoming an evil soul master?!" Ye Xixuan became unusually agitated, pressing his hands on Tang Ya's shoulders.

"Take off your coat first!"

Tang Ya was startled by Ye Xixuan's reaction, but considering that she might soon be separated from him, she didn't think too much about it. As rustling sounds came from inside the convertible, she closed her eyes and pursed her lips.

"I didn't tell you to take your clothes off completely." Ye Xixuan's slightly unnatural, soft voice reached Tang Ya's ears again. Just as Tang Ya was about to open her eyes, she felt a warm sensation on her chest. Eerie black patterns, like blooming dark flowers, were branded onto her chest.

Immediately afterwards, the immense evil energy within her martial soul's origin began to flow continuously into Ye Xixuan's body, using this as a medium.

Ye Xixuan only wanted to convince Tang Ya with his actions and let her personally experience the power of his martial soul before he was ready to let go.

"Sister Xiaoya, do you believe me now?"

"Xi Xuan, don't stop." But the response to Ye Xi Xuan was Tang Ya's hands, which were tightly gripping his right wrist. Her voice trembled slightly, and it carried the joy of having all her concerns completely dispelled.
