Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as Huo Gua, yet a Manjusaka Flower

After being completely enveloped, a golden beam of light shot into the sky, turning the sky golden.

………………

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Star Dou Great Forest, some distance from Huo Yunxiao.

A bloody and brutal struggle took place there.

All the humans and spirit beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have had their fates changed to varying degrees because of the arrival of this power of destiny.

To the northeast of where Huo Yunxiao was, a group of young men in their twenties faced a golden saber-toothed tiger, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, roaring as it charged toward them.

The expected death did not come; the saber-toothed tiger simply bowed in worship to the golden pillar of light rising in the center.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, they all scattered and fled.

But three seconds later, he turned to look at the fleeing figure.

They chased after them immediately.

The Golden Saber-toothed Tiger is incredibly fast, though not as fast as other speed-type soul beasts.

But these people have no chance of escaping his grasp.

But one thing he was very clear about was that he absolutely could not lead them to Huo Yunxiao's side.

"Senior Sister, you all go quickly, I'll hold him off."

One of the trainees in their group spoke up.

His name is Wang Yanming, his martial soul is the Fiery Battle Axe, and he is a level 63 Soul Emperor.

In terms of strength, although she is not as good as their senior sister Zhang Lexuan, she is still very powerful.

A young man with red hair, wielding a blood-red battle axe engulfed in flames, faces off against a golden saber-toothed tiger.

It desperately resisted the terrifying power of the golden saber-toothed tiger.

At that moment, a golden light rose up, and the power of destiny spread out.

The golden saber-toothed tiger, which had been fiercely attacking, suddenly calmed down and bowed down in a certain place.

Taking advantage of this moment, a woman grabbed Wang Yanming's hand.

"Old Wang, let's go quickly."

"It's too late, Senior Sister. We might all die here, but we can't all stay here."

"The future of Shrek is in your hands!"

"No, no, don't do that."

Ahead of them, a spirit beast resembling a plant appeared.

It was a cluster of blood-red thorn flowers, with the central main flower the size of a bowl. The petals were a deep wine red with dark purple edges, and the stamens looked like blood beads, emitting an eerie red light.

The main flower is surrounded by several buds of different sizes and the same color, and blooming flowers. When the buds are closed, they look like blood-stained blades. When they bloom, the petals curl up layer by layer, revealing the scarlet stamens.

To put it bluntly, those flower stamens are her "eyes".

The entire soul beast is composed of thick vines, dark red to almost black in color, covered with barbed bone spurs; countless branches, like blood-red pythons, are hundreds of meters long, covered with dense thorns, the tips of which gleam with a cold metallic luster, and exude a bloody and poisonous aura. The vines intertwine and twist, spreading wildly like living things, taking root in the dark red blood mud.

Furthermore, it also emitted a faint red mist.

Blood God Thorn Flower.

A soul beast that devours and possesses highly toxic properties.

It primarily devours life forms and recovers from injuries extremely quickly.

It is an extremely troublesome soul beast.

The Blood God Thorn Flower swiftly extended its vines, reaching out to grab them, attempting to refine them.

Wang Yanming directly burned his soul power and rushed towards the Blood God Thorn Flower.

"Senior Sister, this may be goodbye."

Wang Yanming's eyes flashed with determination; he was ready to unleash his power on this 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"Is this what death is?"

"What is death? Is it the end? Is it farewell? Is it irreversible? Is it never being able to hold your hand again? Is it never being able to feel your warmth again?"

"I'm breaking my promise, and I can no longer say sorry."

"Sixth Soul Skill: Fiery Skybreaker".

Wang Yanming burned his soul power, injecting it into his battle axe. The air became scorching hot from his power, and his clothes were burned to ashes by his full-force self-ignition.

Fiery red flame patterns appeared on his skin as he slashed at the Blood God Thorn Flower.

………………

Star Dou Great Forest, core restricted area.

This place is a den of beasts, its life force so dense it's almost solidified. Ordinary soul beasts dare not even approach, let alone step inside. The entire area is deathly silent, save for the ancient pressure that flows between heaven and earth, like a slumbering primordial beast, constantly emanating a suffocating aura.

In the heart of the lake, a tranquil, emerald-green expanse lies, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting towering ancient trees and the misty sky, without a single ripple.

Suddenly.

The lake surface suddenly exploded!

The raging lake water surged skyward, the water column piercing the clouds. A massive, black dragon head slowly rose from the water, its scales gleaming with a cold, eerie light. Each scale seemed to be forged from millennia-old black iron, exuding a ferocious aura capable of destroying the world. The moment its vertical pupils opened, golden light burst forth, as if two blazing suns had fallen to earth, shaking the very soul.

The Beast God Di Tian has awakened.

"Who dares to harm the auspicious beast!"

A deep and majestic dragon roar shook the heavens and earth, its sound waves sweeping across the entire core area. Countless plants and trees snapped with a crash, and the soul beasts lurking in the distance trembled, prostrating themselves on the ground, not daring to even breathe. Di Tian's spiritual power surged out like a tsunami, instantly locking onto that faint yet strangely familiar aura of destiny.

His gaze pierced through the spiritual mist, and he immediately saw Huo Yunxiao nestled beside the auspicious beast.

The girl and the auspicious beast touched forehead to forehead, their two purest forces of destiny intertwining and forming a faint golden halo.

But the next moment, Di Tian's expression froze slightly.

eccentric.

Extremely strange.

He could clearly sense a human presence emanating from Huo Yunxiao, yet it was so faint as to be almost negligible. It was an indescribable sense of unease—she had a human form, but lacked the essential life force of a normal human. She was more like some being that transcended the mortal realm, wearing a human shell.

Di Tian's killing intent surged.

No matter what she is, daring to touch the auspicious beast's eye of destiny is a capital offense!

Connecting one's fate to a mythical beast is tantamount to forcibly interfering with the destiny of the Starry Sky lineage. If one is not careful, it will cause the energy of the entire Soul Beast lineage to fluctuate.

Where is the Red King?

waste!

They couldn't even protect a sacred beast, allowing outsiders to desecrate it; they deserve to die a thousand deaths!

Emperor Tianlong's claws slightly curved, causing space to distort slightly, and terrifying power was about to erupt, ready to annihilate Huo Yunxiao in an instant.

Just now.

A clear, noble voice, carrying an unquestionable authority, gently drifted into his mind.

"Wait, Di Tian."

The voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess supreme authority, instantly suppressing the boiling, murderous aura emanating from his body.

Di Tian's massive dragon body suddenly stiffened.

Those majestic golden eyes slowly softened, the massive head lowered slightly, and the tone instantly became extremely respectful.

"My lord, you are awake."

The Lord, who had been silent for many years, has awakened at this juncture.

"Her destiny intertwined with that of the auspicious beast, unexpectedly breaking away some of the divine power imprints that bound me, allowing me to awaken ahead of schedule." Gu Yuena's voice was calm, yet carried a hint of barely perceptible relief.

A strong look of joy suddenly burst forth in Di Tian's eyes.

The Lord's early awakening means that the future of the Star Dou Great Forest will truly have a leader. And he will no longer have to shoulder the burden of the entire Soul Beast race alone; perhaps, he can finally have his own freedom.

He suppressed his excitement and waited for Gu Yuena's instructions.

But Gu Yuena's next sentence completely stunned him.

"Di Tian, ​​the reason I've awakened this time is to tell you—you are not allowed to touch that girl."

"Not only must we not harm her, but we must also send people to protect her secretly and ensure that she absolutely does not die in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Di Tian suddenly looked up, his huge eyes filled with incomprehension and astonishment, and his tone unconsciously carried a hint of doubt.

Why?
