Douluo Continent: Starting with a Heavenly Fire Judgment

Chapter 9 Three-Eyed Golden Talisman

Not long ago, Ji Lin had just summoned the Heavenly Fire Judgment to absorb the soul ring.

In the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, a place of great danger, beside the Lake of Life, a golden soul beast was lying on the lakeshore, seemingly dozing.

This soul beast was over three meters long, its entire body resembling translucent crystal, filled with a strange texture. Its overall shape was similar to a lion, but its four claws were like a dragon's, and beneath its golden fur were fine scales. In addition to its normal two eyes, it even had a third eye on its head.

Its third eye flashed red, and a clear, melodious female voice came from its mouth: "Such pure fire attribute, almost the same as mine. Let's go see what's emitting it."

After roughly determining the direction, he flashed and transformed into a golden light.

Meanwhile, another three-headed canine spirit beast by the lake, sensing the strange spirit beast's departure, spoke in human language: "Where did the auspicious beast go? Didn't it just eat?" It transformed into a streak of light and chased after the strange spirit beast.

If anyone knew the ranking of ferocious beasts, they would surely recognize this three-headed canine as the eighth-ranked of the ten most ferocious beasts—the Crimson King.

Just as Ji Lin was about to leave with Chi Yuan.

The golden light shooting from the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest is about to reach Ji Lin's vicinity.

Just as the golden light was about to approach Ji Lin's location, a three-headed canine appeared in front of it.

"Auspicious Beast, we can't go any further. There's a very powerful human ahead, and I'm not confident I can defeat her."

The golden light abruptly stopped, revealing the handsome figure of the three-eyed golden lion. A melodious voice emanated from its mouth: "Red King, I sense an extremely pure fire attribute aura ahead, purer than mine. Let's take a look. If it's emanating from that powerful human, then we'll return."

"Its fire attribute is even purer than that of a mythical beast that possesses near-ultimate fire? I'll go take a look." The Red King's curiosity was piqued.

The Crimson King soared into the sky, gazing into the distance in Ji Lin's direction. "Hmm? Such a powerful woman, fire attribute?"

It first saw the Crimson Kite. As a ferocious beast, it clearly sensed the Crimson Kite's power and that it was also of the fire attribute.

"Could it be that the purer fire attribute that the auspicious beast sensed was emanating from this powerful woman?"

Then it saw the young child next to Chi Yuan, holding a crimson greatsword. The temperature within a one-kilometer radius of that greatsword was significantly higher than in other areas.

The Crimson King suddenly realized, "An ultimate fire attribute soul master, no wonder the auspicious beast feels even purer in fire attribute than her."

The Crimson King descended from the sky and said to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, "The one emanating the aura of fire is a human youth. He possesses the Ultimate Fire Martial Soul. Let's go back and tell Di Tian about that youth; I believe he will be very interested."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion said, "I'm very interested too, Crimson King. Isn't there only one human who's relatively powerful over there? I'm also comparable to a human Title Douluo. You stop that powerful human, and I'll capture that boy and play with him."

The Crimson King was somewhat tempted, but after a moment's thought, all three heads shook their heads simultaneously, saying, "No, I can't bear the responsibility if something happens to you, Mythical Beast."

"Oh dear, nothing will happen. I'm going to catch that human boy." The three-eyed golden lion flashed and headed straight for Ji Lin.

The Crimson King was somewhat helpless. The auspicious beast was more obedient to Di Tian; its words went in one ear and out the other.

With a flash, the Crimson King overtook the auspicious beast and pounced straight at the Crimson Kite.

Just then, Chi Yuan's expression changed. "Be careful, a soul beast is coming towards us. Judging from its aura, it should be one of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts."

Ji Lin's expression also changed. "A ferocious beast? How could a ferocious beast appear here?"

The two of them looked in the direction from which the Crimson King and the auspicious beast had come.

Before them appeared a three-headed spirit beast, over five meters long, extremely robust, and somewhat resembling a lion. The three large heads roared simultaneously, blocking Chi Yuan's path.

Ji Lin's expression was strange. The Crimson King? Why would it be here? Wasn't it the guardian of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion? Then, the one following behind is the Three-Eyed Golden Lion!?

Why did this ancestor come here? Ji Lin wasn't too worried about his life. With Chi Yuan around, unless Di Tian personally intervened, no one could hurt him under Chi Yuan's protection.

However, this creature is the Achilles' heel of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the de facto emperor of all soul beasts. If anything goes wrong with it, it could trigger a beast tide in the Star Dou Great Forest, causing utter devastation. Auspicious beasts are the natural emperors among soul beasts. In the habitats of auspicious beasts, all soul beasts grow at twice the normal rate, and the chance of a 100,000-year-old soul beast breaking through its bottleneck doubles.

Suddenly, a golden figure appeared from behind the Crimson King and rushed straight towards him, its target none other than Ji Lin.

Good heavens, is this auspicious beast just a freebie? What makes her think that the Crimson King can stop the Crimson Kite?

Chi Yuan took a step forward. A terrifying aura instantly pressed down on the Crimson King and the auspicious beast like a mountain.

Sensing this aura, the Crimson King's expression changed drastically, and the auspicious beast also paused.

The Crimson King's heart skipped a beat: "This is bad, this woman is a Limit Douluo, we're doomed, we can't beat her."

The Crimson King hurriedly called out to the auspicious beast, "Auspicious beast, run! Go find Di Tian! I'll stop her!"

The auspicious beast also realized something was wrong, and it stopped abruptly, then turned and ran away.

"Coming and going as you please is not as simple as it seems."

Chi Yuan directly tore through space and appeared in front of the auspicious beast. Her slender hand clenched into a fist, and the fist, wrapped in flames, landed on the auspicious beast. With a bang, the auspicious beast flew back and landed not far in front of Ji Lin. It seemed to have suffered a serious injury and would not be able to get up for a while.

Only then did the Crimson King react. The three big heads roared simultaneously, and all the soul beasts within a ten-mile radius prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

The Crimson King roared, "Damn it! Do you even know who it is? If you dare touch it, you're making an enemy of all the soul beasts in our Star Dou Great Forest!"

Chi Yuan coldly stared at Chi Wang, "I don't care who it is, all I know is that you attacked us first."

As she spoke, Chi Yuan took a step forward. A terrifying aura instantly pressed down on the Crimson King like a mountain.

"Wait a minute!" The Crimson King was getting impatient. Although its cultivation had surpassed 300,000 years and it ranked eighth among the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts, it was indeed no match for the human before it. Sending a distress signal now was too late. Even the top experts of the Star Dou Great Forest would need time to arrive from the Ferocious Beast Zone. And this human wouldn't give it that much time.

"Wait for what?" Chi Yuan said coldly.

The Crimson King said, "Human, do not lay a hand on it. The creature you just injured is the Emperor Beast of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the only one of its kind on the continent. If it dies, the entire Star Dou Great Forest will go mad."

"I don't care if you're crazy or not, you started it," Chi Yuan said expressionlessly.
