Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 328 The Shadow Phantom and the Two Great Lickers' Past

When Ye Liangchen and Yingmei returned to the valley, Poseidon immediately came out of the tent and asked, "How did it go? Was it alright?"

"It went too smoothly. That 50,000-year-old human-faced demon spider was no match for Shadow Demon. It was completely outmatched by it... After absorbing the opponent's energy, Shadow Demon's cultivation level has reached 80,000 years."

Ye Liangchen calmly recounted how Shadow Demon had easily defeated the Human-Faced Demon Spider, while the large tiger raised its enormous head, appearing extremely proud.

"Shadow Demon, your leveling speed is too fast!"

Poseidon looked at the somewhat arrogant tiger, whose cultivation level had just risen from over 60,000 years to 80,000 years in the blink of an eye.

"I was just lucky."

Shadowy shook her enormous head, feigning humility, but inwardly she was extremely excited.

"Master, you should go and rest."

Yingmei lay down in front of the tent and resumed her bodyguard duties, instructing Ye Liangchen and Poseidon to go and rest.

"Shadow Demon, thank you for your hard work."

Poseidon and Ye Liangchen stroked the hair on Yingmei's forehead, then went into their respective tents to continue resting.

Nothing more was said that night. The next morning, Ye Liangchen had Yingmei carry everyone towards the Lake of Life in the center of the Star Dou Forest.

"Roar... Splash..."

As a Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Shadow Demon, with its eight-meter-long body, was incredibly majestic. Wherever it passed, other soul beasts fled in terror, making the forest extremely lively.

"Wow!…"

The three little fox girls felt incredibly excited when they saw the other soul beasts being scared away by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and they would occasionally let out joyful cries.

Ye Liangchen lay on Yingmei's broad back, feeling more comfortable than when he was carried in a sedan chair.

Poseidon sat quietly next to Ye Liangchen, admiring the beautiful scenery of the Starry Sky Forest, feeling very happy.

"Master, are you going to the Lake of Life to hunt 100,000-year-old soul beasts? After you obtain a 100,000-year-old soul ring, could you let me absorb the energy from their bodies?"

"I went to the Lake of Life back then. There were four 100,000-year-old soul beasts and two rabbits, one of which had even transformed into human form. The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape saw me and immediately drove me away. At that time, my strength was relatively weak, and I couldn't defeat them..."

Shadow Demon carried everyone on its back, walking leisurely with cat-like steps. As it did so, it used its mental power to describe to Ye Liangchen the incident of its intrusion into the Lake of Life. This time, it thought Ye Liangchen was going to hunt down those 100,000-year-old soul beasts, and thought to itself: This time I can finally beat up that bull-headed worm and the big monkey.

"The two old rabbits in the Lake of Life have long since died. One of the little rabbits also transformed more than ten years ago. She even offered herself to me a couple of years ago. Now, only the bull-headed worm and the big monkey remain outside the Lake of Life."

After hearing about Yingmei's intrusion into the Lake of Life, Ye Liangchen knew that this big tiger was definitely up to no good, so he told it about the fate of the four 100,000-year-old soul beasts of the Lake of Life.

"I didn't expect those two rabbits to be dead. Master, that makes hunting the Azure Bull Python and Titan Ape much easier."

When Yingmei heard that only two of the four 100,000-year-old soul beasts remained, she realized that she and her master could easily handle them, not to mention that her master also had Poseidon, a demigod-level powerhouse, by his side.

"Shadow Demon, follow me, and your cultivation will soon reach 100,000 years, and you'll even become a million-year divine beast. So stop thinking about hunting other soul beasts. It wasn't easy for the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape to cultivate to 100,000 years."

"We're just going to Lake of Life for a visit, not to hunt those two 100,000-year-old soul beasts."

Ye Liangchen reminded Yingmei not to always think about fighting and killing.

"Alright! I'll do as you say." Shadow Demon nodded; whatever her master said, went.

……

Two days later, Ye Liangchen and his group leisurely arrived at the Lake of Life.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger!"

"roar…"

"Leave here."

The Titan Ape guarding the lake saw the Dark Demon God Tiger's enormous body and immediately leaped over, blocking it dozens of meters in front of it. Its height of fifteen meters made it seem like a small mountain.

"roar…"

"Sizzle..."

The Shadow Demon roared, spewing out black light that transformed into a lightning-encircled attack wave that shot towards the Titan Ape.

"Bang…"

The Titan Ape unleashed a punch that collided with the Dark Demon God Thunder, creating a massive explosion that forced it back several steps.

"Splash..."

At the same time, a wave rose on the lake surface, and the huge bull's head of the Azure Bull Python emerged from the lake, followed by its more than 30-meter-long body standing upright in the water.

"Wow...! This is way too big!"

The three girls, Xiaoli, Xiaoling, and Xiaoyun, screamed in fright when they saw the two enormous soul beasts. They hid behind Poseidon, sticking their heads out to look at the two big guys with curiosity.

"roar…"

Shadow Demon also roared, unafraid of the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts. Although she had not yet become a 100,000-year-old soul beast, she could not lose in terms of aura. Moreover, with her current 80,000-year cultivation, she might not necessarily lose in a fight.

"Erming, don't be impulsive."

When the Azure Ox Python saw several humans on the back of the Dark Demon God Tiger, it was completely dumbfounded and immediately stopped the Titan Giant Ape from making a move.

"Big brother, what's going on?" Titan Ape scratched his head and asked in a silly manner.

"How would I know?" The Azure Bull Python looked at the Titan Giant Ape and thought: You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?

"So these are the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape! They are indeed very powerful!"

"Xiao Chen, is this the Lake of Life you mentioned?"

Poseidon quietly observed the two 100,000-year-old soul beasts, sensing that they were even stronger than Xiaobai. She then reached out her jade-like hand and gently patted Ye Liangchen, who was sleeping with his head on her lap.

"Sister Bobo, this is the core of the Star Dou Forest, the Lake of Life. What do you think? Isn't it beautiful?" Ye Liangchen opened his eyes and asked Poseidon.

"It is indeed very beautiful, and it is full of vitality." Poseidon nodded, feeling extremely comfortable in this place.

"Da Ming, Er Ming, it's been a long time."

Ye Liangchen slowly stood up and greeted the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape.

"Ye... Liangchen, it's actually you?"

"You subdued the Dark Demon God Tiger? How did that happen?"

The Azure Bull Python and the Titan Ape stared at everything before them with their lantern-like eyes, feeling as if it were all unreal.

"That's right, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is now my pet, so you can't bully it," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"It actually became your pet?"

When the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape heard Ye Liangchen say this, their faces showed disbelief.

"Of course, otherwise why do you think we're able to sit on the back of the Shadow Demon?" Ye Liangchen nodded.

"Ye Liangchen, you're amazing."

The Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python were filled with admiration for Ye Liangchen as they looked at the tiger's docile demeanor.

"By the way, you two know about Xiao Wu, right?" Ye Liangchen asked Xiao Wu's two biggest admirers.

"We know. Lord Di Tian already told us that we opposed her going to the human world, but she just wouldn't listen."

"Sigh! For a 100,000-year-old soul beast to transform and cultivate again is extremely dangerous, yet Sister Xiaowu insists on going to Wuhun City to participate in the Soul Master Competition? Isn't that just sending herself to her death?"

The two licking beasts were powerless to help Xiao Wu's plight and could only sigh and feel sorry for the little rabbit.

"Xiao Wu's soul is within this soul ring of mine. I'm summoning her out to meet you."

"Whoosh..."

"Xiao Wu, come out and meet your two underlings!"

Ye Liangchen summoned his sword spirit, revealed his spirit ring, and then used his soul to awaken Xiao Wu.

"Buzzing..."

"Da Ming, Er Ming."

Xiao Wu floated out of her spirit ring and saw her two great beasts. She was very excited. If only she hadn't gone to the human world!

"Sister Xiaowu..."

When the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python saw how beautiful Xiao Wu had become, their eyes widened in disbelief, and they were also deeply saddened, tears streaming down their faces.

"Why are you crying? My sacrifice to Ye Liangchen is a good thing. He will become a god, and I will be resurrected..."

Xiao Wu quickly comforted her two little brothers, telling them not to worry.

"This...this is the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger?"

But when she saw that Ye Liangchen and his group were actually standing on the back of the Dark Demon God Tiger, she was immediately shocked.

"Little rabbit, I thought you had forgotten me!" Yingmei transmitted her voice to Xiaowu through her soul.

"Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? You...you're actually a tigress?" Xiao Wu was stunned when she heard a woman's voice echoing in her soul sea.

"Pfft...!"

When Poseidon and Xiaoli heard Xiaowu say that the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was a tigress, they couldn't help but laugh.

"Ha ha…!"

At this moment, the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python in front couldn't help but laugh. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was actually a tigress. No wonder it was so ferocious.

"Little rabbit, if you can be a female rabbit, then it's not surprising that I'm a tigress."

Yingmei shook her head helplessly. Why did everyone act so strangely when they found out she was a tigress?

"Swish..."

"You've finally arrived, we've been waiting for you for days."

Just then, Di Tian flew to Ye Liangchen's side with several ferocious beasts, including Bi Ji, Zi Ji, Chi Wang, Xiong Jun, and Wan Yao Wang.

"Splash..."

"Whoosh..."

As soon as the ferocious beasts appeared, the Azure Bull Python immediately plunged into the lake, while the Titan Giant Ape jumped to the lake shore, lowered its head, and dared not look at anything or say anything.

Xiao Wu was so frightened that she immediately returned to Ye Liangchen's spirit ring, not daring to face Di Tian and his group of ferocious beasts. The bloodline suppression was too great. It was rumored that her father was eaten by a huge beast when he entered the core area, and it was very likely that he was one of these ferocious beasts.

"Master, these powerful figures are terrifying." Yingmei immediately used soul transmission to tell Ye Liangchen that she was very scared.

"Everyone, it's been a long time." Ye Liangchen greeted Di Tian and his gang.

"Welcome, Sea God Douluo, to the Lake of Life."

The ferocious beasts had learned from Gu Yuena that Jin Ling'er was doing well on Seagod Island, so they decided to come out and welcome Poseidon to show them hospitality.

"Are you Ling'er's family?"

Poseidon looked at the group of powerful figures in front of him and was completely bewildered. Then he looked at Ye Liangchen next to him and thought: You didn't even tell me?

"That's right, my name is Di Tian, ​​and these are Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, Zi Ji, Chi Wang, Wan Yao Wang,..."

Di Tian introduced everyone's ferocious beast identities to Poseidon, who was the High Priest of Seagod Island. There was nothing to hide; perhaps Poseidon had already figured it out.

"Nice to meet you!"

Poseidon looked at the burly man in black before her and was surprised to find that he was the legendary Beast King, Di Tian.

The three little girls, Xiaoli, stood beside Poseidon, looking curiously at the four men and two women in front of them. It was hard to imagine that they were not human.

Especially since Brigitte and Ziji were so beautiful and had such hot figures, the three maids felt inferior to them.

"Xiao Chen, you actually tamed this big tiger! That's amazing!"

Biji and Ziji walked over and reached out to rub Ye Liangchen's head. This little guy always brings surprises to everyone.

"Sisters, this is nothing. This big cat thinks it has a bright future following me, so it has recognized me as its master." Ye Liangchen smiled calmly.

Do you believe it?

"I don't believe it."

"The Lord said that Xiao Chen has obtained the soul bone and divine ring of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings. His current strength is estimated to be stronger than some Super Douluo."

"So this Dark Demon God Tiger must have been defeated and subdued by him."

Di Tian, ​​Chi Wang, Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and the other ferocious beasts exchanged glances. Looking at Ye Liangchen's serious yet nonsensical manner, they knew that this little guy was just bragging.

"Thank you, Master."

Yingmei was deeply moved. Ye Liangchen hadn't mentioned defeating her, which was a sign of respect for her!

"If I tell you the truth and you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do."

Seeing the suspicious looks on Di Tian's and the others' faces, Ye Liangchen shrugged and smiled helplessly.

"Pfft...!"

Poseidon, Brigitte, and Murasaki couldn't help but laugh at the little guy's fake seriousness.

"Stop bragging, kid. Let's go. The master is already waiting for you."

Di Tian waved his hand, beckoning everyone to enter the core of the Lake of Life, including the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

"Huff huff..."

"Master, who is that sovereign?"

Shadow Demon spread its enormous wings and carried Ye Liangchen and his group toward the depths of the Lake of Life, while using its soul to transmit a message to Ye Liangchen.

"The Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all soul beasts, is a god..." Ye Liangchen introduced to Ying Mei.

"Wow! I never imagined that we soul beasts would have a god among us."

Yingmei was deeply shocked. She was so excited to actually meet the Lord of Soul Beasts.

Ye Liangchen and his group arrived at a beautiful island in the center of the Lake of Life, where they saw Gu Yuena sitting in a pavilion with a smile on her face, looking at them.

"Sister Na, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Ye Liangchen greeted Gu Yuena.

"Wow...! So beautiful!"

The three girls, Xiaoli, Xiaoling, and Xiaoyun, couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as they looked at the ethereal, silver-haired beauty.

"It's alright, I don't have anything to do right now. Hurry up and cook us a nice meal, I've prepared all the ingredients for you."

Gu Yuena rolled her eyes at Ye Liangchen, thinking to herself: All you do is wander around, and you even managed to get a tigress as your mount. You're really something else.

Gu Yuena didn't mind Ye Liangchen taking the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger as a pet. This tigress liked to kill other soul beasts and could be considered the public enemy of soul beasts. Her reputation was notorious. Now that there was a little guy to keep her in check, it was a good thing.

"Little Tanuki, come over here and help out."

Ye Liangchen instructed his three maids to prepare a grand feast to entertain these gluttons.

Biji and Ziji also came over to help with the work, fulfilling their duties as hosts and properly entertaining the Sea God Douluo Poseidon. After all, Jin Ling'er was still on Sea God Island, and as the little girl's family, they had to show their appreciation.

As for Di Tian, ​​Xiong Jun, and their gang, they just watched the show from a distance the whole time.

"Welcome." Gu Yuena gestured for Poseidon to sit down and poured him some tea.

"I'm sorry to disturb your meditation."

Seeing how polite Gu Yuena was, Poseidon knew that he was benefiting from the little girl's kindness.

"No need for such formalities. Your presence is an honor for us."

"No, no..."

Poseidon and Gu Yuena sat in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting, just like two good friends.

Shadow Demon crouched by the pavilion, glancing up at Gu Yuena every now and then, thinking: Is this the Soul Beast Silver Dragon King? It is indeed very powerful.
