Douluo Continent II: The Dragon King Suppresses the World!

Chapter 28 The Three-Eyed Golden Lion

The moment Ye Qi'an cautiously touched the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body trembled slightly without warning. Then, as if it had seen something unbelievable and beyond imagination, its pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and a stunned expression appeared on its face, as if it had been petrified.

Ye Qi'an keenly noticed the unusual behavior of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and, filled with concern, quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

However, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion did not answer immediately. Instead, it maintained its astonished expression, as if time had stood still. After a long, long time, it slowly opened its mouth, its voice clear and melodious, yet carrying an undisguised solemnity: "I cannot see your destiny at all. Your fate is like a chaotic fog, filled with endless dangers and variables. However, I should have what you need here."

As soon as the words were spoken, a dazzling golden light instantly rose from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's body, while Ye Qi'an was also enveloped in a rich, mellow golden light. The two golden rays intertwined and formed an extremely dazzling ball of light, so intense that it immediately attracted the attention of Di Tian and the others. Several figures appeared beside the two with lightning speed.

Gu Yuena stared at the golden light emanating from Ye Qi'an and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, slightly taken aback. At the same time, she sensed an aura that was all too familiar on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. She had been trying to investigate this aura but had never succeeded. Now it seemed that Ye Qi'an had inadvertently triggered something crucial.

"Could this be a backup plan deliberately left behind by the Dragon God?" Gu Yuena murmured, her voice filled with doubt and speculation.

Bathed in this golden light, Ye Qi'an was initially somewhat surprised, but soon, fragments of memories flooded into his mind like a tidal wave. This torrent of memories not only included all of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's past experiences, but also some precious memories belonging to the Dragon God.

Ye Qi'an quickly realized what was happening, his expression changing drastically as he exclaimed in shock, "This is impossible... The Dragon God's schemes are terrifying! Every move I made was actually part of the Dragon God's meticulous calculations..."

Soon, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly opened its eyes again, but this time its gaze towards Ye Qi'an was much stranger. However, Ye Qi'an did not notice this subtle yet crucial point, because his body was completely out of his control. Surprisingly, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was in the same situation; both of them seemed to have lost control of their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion slowly moved its body towards Ye Qi'an's head, and the vertical pupil in the center of its forehead gradually touched Ye Qi'an's forehead. The instant Ye Qi'an's forehead touched the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's vertical eye, his body trembled violently as if he had been electrocuted.

The strange power contained within the vertical eye of the Imperial Beast was instantly activated, silently taking hold. Under the influence of this strange power, a narrow, tiny slit also appeared on Ye Qi'an's forehead. However, because the two were pressed together, Gu Yuena, who had been closely observing from the outside, did not notice this subtle detail.

After that brief but intense tremor, Ye Qi'an suddenly felt his mind go blank, as if all his thoughts had been instantly ripped away. Strange, distorted halos of light quickly enveloped their bodies, making them appear almost transparent to each other, their light flickering faintly. With each shift in the light, Ye Qi'an and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion would tremble slightly.

The distorted light grew increasingly intense, completely enveloping the bodies of the man and the beast. A strange and powerful force completely shut out even Gu Yuena's keen senses. A golden light slowly emerged from the three-eyed golden lion's body and gradually entered Ye Qi'an's body.

Through the distorted light, everyone could vaguely see a long spear appear in Ye Qi'an's hand. As the light gradually faded, the figures of Ye Qi'an and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion were finally clearly revealed, and Gu Yuena, Di Tian, ​​and many other ferocious beasts were finally able to see the long spear in Ye Qi'an's hand.

"This is the Golden Dragon Spear. I never expected that the Golden Dragon King's divine weapon would be inside the body of a mythical beast." Gu Yuena said in surprise as she looked at the Golden Dragon Spear in Ye Qian'an's hand.

Ye Qi'an gripped the Golden Dragon Spear, its entire body gleaming with dazzling golden light. The shaft was meticulously carved with intricate dragon patterns, so lifelike they seemed ready to break free and come to life, baring their fangs and claws to display their immense power. Each dragon pattern contained a mysterious and unpredictable power, subtly shimmering with golden light, reflecting off the spear's brilliance. The spearhead was so sharp it inspired fear.

Holding the Golden Dragon Spear, Ye Qi'an could clearly feel its heavy and solid texture. When he swung the Golden Dragon Spear, a golden light appeared before his eyes. Wherever it went, the air was mercilessly torn apart, emitting a sharp and piercing whistling sound.

"The Golden Dragon Spear was formed from a rib of the Golden Dragon King. With the Golden Dragon Spear, your essence is truly complete," Gu Yuena said earnestly, looking at Ye Qi'an.

Ye Qi'an gripped the Golden Dragon Spear tightly, focusing on the powerful force emanating from its shaft, as if it resonated deeply with his soul. He said, "So that's it. No wonder I've always felt an inexplicable connection with it. Nana, do you feel the same way?"

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and said, "Like you, I also have a gun, except that my gun is called the Silver Dragon Gun."

As she spoke, Gu Yuena gently waved her right hand, and a silver dragon spear, similar to the golden dragon spear yet possessing its own unique characteristics, appeared. This silver dragon spear was entirely silvery-white, radiating a cold and mysterious light that inspired awe in all who beheld it.

Ye Qi'an's gaze was instantly drawn to the Silver Dragon Spear, and he couldn't help but exclaim sincerely, "The aura of this Silver Dragon Spear is so cold, completely different from the majestic and fiery aura of the Golden Dragon Spear."

Gu Yuena gently stroked the Silver Dragon Spear and slowly said, "Although these two spears have different characteristics, they are both symbols of power..."

Before Gu Yuena could finish speaking, Ye Qian, holding the Golden Dragon Spear in one hand and his forehead with the other, knelt down. Gu Yuena's expression instantly turned tense. She quickly walked to Ye Qian's side and anxiously asked, "Qian, what's wrong?"

Ye Qi'an gritted his teeth, the light emanating from the creases on his forehead growing even stronger, and said with difficulty, "The power of fate seems to be..."

Ye Qi'an's body trembled even more violently. He roared in pain, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

"This is the Eye of Destiny. The power of fortune is creating a space to accommodate it. This is a normal phenomenon," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion said calmly as it stood up.

Ye Qi'an's experience at this moment was like being hit hard with a huge hammer. His head felt like it had been struck by a giant hammer, and his mind went blank. His whole body was once again covered with a thick layer of gold. The enormous power of fortune continuously washed over his body, centered on his forehead. At this moment, the thin slit on his forehead slowly opened under the burst of fortune power, like a mysterious eye.

Gu Yuena looked at Ye Qi'an, her hands unconsciously clenching tightly, her eyes filled with deep worry. Di Tian and the others watched nervously, not daring to even breathe.

As time slowly passed, the golden light emanating from Ye Qi'an gradually subsided, and the newly appeared "eye" became increasingly clear. Unlike the vertical pupil of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, the third eye in the center of Ye Qi'an's forehead was a dragon's eye, which shimmered with a mysterious and profound crimson-gold light, majestic and solemn.

Ye Qi'an slowly opened his eyes, slightly taken aback by the sudden surge in his cultivation level. The Golden Dragon Spear and the power of luck had forcibly increased his soul power level. If it weren't for the fact that he had to personally unlock the fourth seal, his cultivation level would probably have increased even more.

Gu Yuena stepped forward and asked softly, "Qi An, how are you feeling?"

Ye Qi'an took a deep breath and said, "This eye grants me the powerful ability to control destiny, and nourished by the bloodline of the Golden Dragon King, it also possesses an awe-inspiring dragon's might. With the forced enhancement of the Golden Dragon Spear and the power of destiny, my soul power has reached level forty, and I can now break the fourth seal."

"Qi An, my advice is that you shouldn't break the fourth seal yet. It's been less than a year since you last broke the seal. If you break the seal too frequently, the later seals might become unstable. What you need to do now is use your excess cultivation to strengthen your physical body," Gu Yuena said hurriedly, her expression full of concern and worry.

Ye Qi'an frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Nana, what you said makes sense. Let's do it your way for now. I will use all my excess cultivation to strengthen my physical body, and only retain level 40 soul power. I will unlock the fourth seal before returning to Shrek Academy."

After saying this, Ye Qi'an sat down cross-legged again, closed his eyes, and mobilized the surging soul power within his body, guiding it to flow into every inch of his muscles and every bone.

A faint golden light emanated from his body, his muscles trembled slightly, and his bones made a soft "crackling" sound. His meridians continued to widen and become more resilient and solid under the influence of soul power.

Time passed slowly. Ye Qi'an's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his face sometimes turned as red as a ripe apple and sometimes as pale as paper. Gu Yuena and the others watched nervously from the side, not daring to disturb him in the slightest.

Finally, the dazzling light emanating from Ye Qi'an gradually subsided, receding like a tide. He slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, as if releasing all the tension and fatigue from before with that breath.

"How are you feeling?" Gu Yuena asked with concern, her gaze fixed on Ye Qi'an, her eyes filled with expectation and worry.

Ye Qi'an stood up and gently moved his hands and feet, immediately producing a series of crisp crackling sounds.

"My physical strength has been greatly improved. Now, even if the opponent is a powerful Soul Emperor, they won't be able to easily break through my physical defenses," Ye Qi'an said confidently.

"Focus on your cultivation these next few days, Di Tian. You can now pass the Dragon God Claw to Ye Qi'an. He should be able to use the Dragon God Claw now," Gu Yuena said to Di Tian. Then she left with the other ferocious beasts, leaving only Ye Qi'an, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and Di Tian behind.

The Dragon God Claw is an incredibly powerful divine technique created by the Dragon God, who later passed it on to the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian. In the present day, Di Tian is considered the current patriarch of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon clan, possessing the purest bloodline, aside from the Dragon God's avatars, the Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King, and the nine sons of the Dragon God. The Dragon God Claw, also known as the Dragon King Claw, wielded by Di Tian, ​​is terrifyingly powerful; any contact with it inevitably results in complete annihilation, inspiring fear in all who hear of it.

"Lord Golden Dragon King, feel the Dragon King Claw first." As he spoke, a dazzling purple-gold flame instantly appeared on Di Tian's hand. Not only that, but a blazing purple-gold flame also burned on his body. Then, he pressed down on Ye Qi'an's shoulder without hesitation.

Ye Qi'an instantly felt the immense power emanating from Di Tian's single hand, so powerful that he was utterly powerless to resist. Di Tian's other hand slowly rose as well, gradually transforming from a human palm into a dragon claw—a jet-black dragon claw radiating a chilling aura.

However, although the dragon claw seemed ethereal to Ye Qi'an, it involuntarily instilled in him an uncontrollable sense of dread. He could clearly feel that if this attack were to strike, it would undoubtedly be a terrifying force capable of instantly taking his life!

Although the three-eyed golden lion was far away from the two, it still deeply felt the powerful force of the Dragon King's Claw. Not to mention Ye Qi'an, who was under the Dragon King's Claw, the pressure and fear he was under were unimaginable.

Di Tian's hand hovered in mid-air, his gaze fixed intently on Ye Qi'an, and he said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid. I'm just letting you feel its power, not trying to hurt you."

Ye Qi'an gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, forcibly calming his already flustered mind, and said firmly, "Come on!"

Di Tian nodded slightly, and the purple-gold dragon claw slowly descended. Although it had not yet touched Ye Qi'an's body, the terrifying pressure made it difficult for him to breathe. The surrounding air seemed to be solidified by this powerful force, making people feel an indescribable sense of oppression.

Just as Ye Qi'an was about to succumb to the immense pressure, Di Tian stopped in time and said, "This is only a fraction of the power of the Dragon God Claw. Try to comprehend it carefully."
