Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 157 You can't control that thing, Di Tian: I don't believe it.

Xue Di swiftly and decisively eliminated all members of the Soul Hunter Legion, leaving only Young Master Zhu, whose lips were pale and whose aura was excessively yin.

Looking at Lin Dong, he said softly, "You're leaving this guy here, right?"

Lin Dong helped Wei Cheng, who had fallen to the ground, to his feet, nodded to Xue Di, and walked toward the pale-faced youth.

The young man was physically weak. Although he was about to break through to the Soul King level, he looked so weak that he could be blown away by the wind at any moment. This was probably due to his lack of self-control in certain aspects.

As Lin Dong walked towards him, the young man felt a surge of fear.

Where did these three damned people come from? How can their strength be so terrifying! I only had a moment of lust, how could it have brought such terrible consequences!

Seeing Lin Dong walking towards him, the young man was so frightened that he took a few steps back, pointed at Lin Dong, and screamed:

"What...what are you doing! Don't come any closer! My mother knows the Duchess of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion. If you dare to kill me, someone will find out and you'll be arrested and imprisoned!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong was taken aback at first, then a cold smile appeared on his lips:

"Is that so? In that case, you deserve to die even more. It seems you don't know that the Duchess you mentioned has already gone before you."

"What?! Where did you come from, you lunatic?! What nonsense are you spouting? You'd better let me go right now!"

As Lin Dong approached, the young man, who couldn't understand what he was saying, frantically channeled his soul power, his fist surging with soul power as he slammed it towards Lin Dong.

Lin Dong grabbed his fist, a chilling killing intent flashing across his face:

"If you have any questions, go ask Zhu Ling!"

Lin Dong's punch blasted the already weak young man into a bloody mist, and a faint smell of blood permeated the air. The horror on Wei Cheng's face lingered for a long time after he got up.

The Tiger Head Soul Hunting Group, which ranks among the top five in Xingluo City, and the noble young master surnamed Zhu who is related to the Duchess, were actually killed by him so easily.

What shocked him the most was the strength of the girl next to Lin Dong. He hadn't even seen how she made her move, but in just an instant, those people were frozen into ice blocks.

The girl simply tapped her finger, and the ice blocks formed by the Soul Hunter Mercenary Group instantly turned to dust, scattered by the wind, leaving only her money pouch and other items on the ground.

Lin Dong wiped the blood off his fist, picked up the money pouch left by the young master surnamed Zhu, weighed it in his hand, and tossed it to Wei Cheng.

"Uncle, thank you for the medicine powder. Take this back and buy some treats for your daughter."

Wei Cheng felt the heavy money bag in his hand. This was wealth that he couldn't accumulate even after several years of hard work, and Lin Dong had given it to him so easily.

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes as she looked at Lin Dong and asked, "You don't want it?"

Lin Dong picked up the money bags that the Soul Hunters had dropped and waved them at him:

"This is enough for me. I'm not short of money. Take it, uncle, as payment for your life-saving rescue."

Hearing this, Wei Chen nervously put away his money pouch and gave Lin Dong a dry laugh.

"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony. Your strength is truly terrifying. I was just being presumptuous."

Lin Dong didn't disregard the self-deprecating tone in his voice, but instead smiled and clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.

"No matter what, we are destined to meet again, Uncle Wei."

After hearing this, Wei Cheng looked at Lin Dong and laughed heartily:

"Okay! See you again sometime!"

The auspicious beast also smiled at the uncle in a rather cooperative manner:

"Thank you, sir. We'll meet again sometime."

A hint of affection flashed in Wei Cheng's eyes. He smiled and nodded, watching the three leave...

Despite the earlier setback, Lin Dong and his companions arrived at the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest very smoothly.

Although they passed through the territories of several ferocious beasts along the way, and although the beasts were somewhat displeased that the auspicious beasts had brought humans in, they did not say anything and simply let the three of them pass.

Lin Dong couldn't help but feel curious about this legendary, ominous place, a place no human dared to set foot in.

But when he actually stepped into the place, he realized that it was just a story made up by humans because they were too afraid.

The first thing Lin Dong saw was a lake that stretched all the way to the other side. The lake was as smooth as a mirror, and the light green water was like a piece of uncarved natural jade.

Around the lake, towering ancient trees reach into the sky, and a light mist hangs over the surface of the lake, while the moist air carries the unique fragrance of plants.

Here, the air is filled with the breath of life, and the vitality of life is at least several times stronger than that of the outside world. Various natural elements of different attributes are also active here, and the energy between heaven and earth is much more abundant.

Lin Dong couldn't help but think that if he could cultivate here using the Devouring Ancestral Symbol, his cultivation speed would probably increase several levels again.

Not seeing Di Tian's figure, the auspicious beast turned to look at Lin Dong and chuckled:

"I read in the human world that this place is an extremely dangerous place. What do you think? Isn't this place very suitable for cultivation? You should like it very much."

Lin Dong did not deny it, and nodded with a faint smile:

"Yes, if we can cultivate here, it will indeed speed things up, since the life force and energy of heaven and earth here are very rich."

The auspicious beast puffed out its chest with a hint of pride:

"So, if you had come with me sooner, you could have seen this view much sooner, right?"

Before Lin Dong could speak, he heard a cold voice from behind him:

"Mythical beast, you are too willful."

Lin Dong looked in the direction of the sound and saw Di Tian, ​​whom he had met in the Star Dou Great Forest, staring intently at the three of them.

With long, golden hair cascading down his back, his imposing figure was over three meters tall. His handsome and resolute face exuded an indescribable strength, giving off an imposing and authoritative aura.

A glint of light flashed in Di Tian's eyes as he stared at Lin Dong for a long time without saying a word. Lin Dong's expression remained calm, without the slightest hint of panic.

A hint of surprise flashed in Di Tian's eyes as he turned to Xue Di and said softly:

"Snow Empress, why aren't you staying in the far north? What are you doing in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Of course I came here to protect Lin Dong."

The Snow Empress's expression was cold. Although the other party was the Beast God, she was, after all, the overlord of the far north, and she could not be too weak even when facing the Beast God.

Of course, what gave her the greatest courage was her sufficient strength. Lin Dong had already told her on the way that he could find a way to create an environment for her using the Ice Ancestral Symbol.

Simply put, Xue Di currently possesses a walking Arctic land, coupled with the fierce protection of auspicious beasts and the undead demiplane as a trump card, so she is not afraid of Di Tian breaking ties with them for the time being.

Upon hearing Xue Di's words, Di Tian's tone carried a faint hint of threat:

"If I really wanted to kill this human, do you think you could stop me?"

After hearing this, Xue Di remained calm, looked at him, and said in a cold tone:

"There is a special bond between us. If he dies, I won't be able to live either. Even if I can't stop him, I have to."

Upon hearing Xue Di's words, a chilling killing intent flashed in Di Tian's eyes, but he quickly began to struggle, realizing that he had important matters to attend to and should not clash with Xue Di.

In some ways, Di Tian felt that the Snow Emperor was more difficult to deal with than the Evil Emperor. After all, the Snow Emperor was an extremely rare and special soul beast in the world, a being formed from the purest ice-attribute elemental energy of heaven and earth.

He didn't want to have any more conflicts with her unless absolutely necessary, and besides, the most important thing right now was the master's plan.

But she is also a soul beast. How could Di Tian, ​​as the Beast God, tolerate Xue Di speaking to him like that for the sake of a human?

Just as Di Tian hesitated, the auspicious beast suddenly looked at him and pouted, saying:

"Di Tian, ​​Lin Dong is my friend. If you want to hurt him, you'll have to get past me first!"

Awakened by the sound of the auspicious beast, the killing intent in Di Tian's eyes slowly faded, and he looked at Lin Dong with an icy tone:

"Human, you are quite capable, managing to win the favor of both the Snow Empress and the auspicious beast. I will spare your life. Stay here for a while, and then the auspicious beast will take you away."

Hearing the hint of expulsion in his words, Lin Dong hesitated, wondering how to bring up the topic of the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol.

Suddenly, the waters of the Lake of Life surged violently, and a strong aura of life and death wafted towards him, causing a hint of joy to appear on Lin Dong's face.

The aura of life and death! It truly is the Ancestral Symbol of Life and Death!

Although the reason why the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol suddenly erupted is unknown, it is undoubtedly good news for Lin Dong.

He was able to use this opportunity to bring up the topic of the Ancestral Symbol without arousing any suspicion from Di Tian.

A flicker of panic suddenly flashed in Di Tian's eyes. Damn it! What on earth is wrong with this thing?!

Even the power of the Lake of Life can't suppress it! How is my lord?! If anything happens to my lord, I will definitely destroy that damned thing completely!

Di Tian roared inwardly. Suddenly, a loud dragon's roar came from within the Lake of Life, and a dragon wing with a body entirely silver-white was constantly rising and falling on the water's surface.

Looking at the enormous dragon wings, a hint of astonishment flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. This was the so-called master that the auspicious beast spoke of, the so-called Lord of Soul Beasts.

As Lin Dong was extremely surprised, a silver dragon, tens of feet long, flew out from the depths of the lake. Its body was covered with silver scales, which shimmered with dazzling silver light under the illumination.

As if crafted from the purest silver, each piece contains immense power and mysterious energy fluctuations.

A clear, cool female voice entered Lin Dong's ears:

"Di Tian, ​​hurry and help me! That damned thing seems to be getting out of my control. I'm still injured and can't handle it alone."

Why is it a female again?

Upon hearing the clear, cold female voice, Lin Dong subconsciously thought to himself, seeing the excited look in the auspicious beast's eyes and the respect in the Snow Empress's eyes.

Lin Dong knew that this Lord of Soul Beasts indeed held a high position among these soul beasts.

The exclamations of amazement from Tenmu and Hyotei echoed in his mind:

"Is this the legendary Lord of Soul Beasts? Such power is indeed astounding! We are truly grateful to Lin Dong for broadening our horizons."

Lin Dong smiled faintly after hearing this: "I have no interest in your so-called Lord of Soul Beasts. I am here for what she is suppressing."

Upon hearing this, Tianmeng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:

"What? From what you're saying, it seems you're not very surprised by the current behavior of the Soul Beast Lord? Could it be that its uprising is related to you?"

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Lin Dong's spiritual body within the Sea of ​​Spirit nodded and smiled:

"When I saw that Di Tian's attitude towards me was not very friendly, I knew that I could not bring up the information about the Ancestral Symbol myself, otherwise he would definitely become suspicious."

Although I was able to use the Ice Ancestral Symbol to temporarily boost the Snow Empress's strength, I wasn't sure if she could truly contend with Emperor Tian, ​​especially since the attitude of the Soul Beast Lord was still unclear.

"Then all I can do is use the mutual resonance between the ancestral symbols to make the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol appear before us on its own, and then we'll pretend to be surprised, so as not to arouse their suspicion."

"Tsk tsk, you, how come you never thought about soul tools this seriously when you were learning about them in the Sun Moon Empire?"

Hearing the teasing tone in Tianmeng's voice, Lin Dong laughed and scolded:

"That's none of your business. Next, it's Di Tian's turn to go up and help your Soul Beast Lord."

As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, a hint of anxiety flashed in Di Tian's eyes. His master was already injured, and that ghostly thing was quite strange. He couldn't care less about Lin Dong now!

Di Tian's aura suddenly intensified, and almost instantly, he transformed into a black dragon tens of feet long.

Its jet-black body is covered with hard black scales, which shimmer with a mysterious dark golden light under the sunlight.

Two giant golden eyes flashed with deep and sharp light, staring intently at the Silver Dragon King who was suppressing the center of the lake.

"Roar~!"

A deafening dragon roar resounded through the sky, and Di Tian's aura surged suddenly as he flew towards the Silver Dragon King, his dragon tail swaying.

Black soul power emanated from his dragon claws, pressing down on the center of the lake, but at this moment, the Silver Dragon King's aura was somewhat weak.

A hint of resentment flashed in Di Tian's eyes. He glanced back at Lin Dong with a cold look, let out a resentful roar, and used his huge black dragon tail to bring the Silver Dragon King ashore.

Without their suppression, a huge vortex suddenly appeared in the center of the Lake of Life, and a rich life force emanated from it.

A moment later, to Di Tian's astonishment, a mysterious talisman slowly emerged from the water.

Above the water's surface, the Ancestral Symbol of Life and Death, now revealed in its true form, was constantly pulsating. It seemed to be formed from the ancient power of stars, radiating a profound and mysterious light as it swirled.

It gradually devoured the surrounding light, yet released ripples of life-giving light, like the intersection of life and death.

The edges of the talisman appear ancient and weathered, as if eroded by time, giving it a sense of the interplay of yin and yang and the control over life and death.

But the creature, which had been raging wildly, now seemed to have lost its purpose and floated quietly in the center of the lake.

This was because Lin Dong had already concealed the aura of the Devouring Ancestral Symbol that he had just deliberately exposed beforehand.

Otherwise, once the Ancestral Symbol of Life and Death erupts, it will fly directly towards him. Even if he had ten mouths, he probably wouldn't be able to explain it to Di Tian.

Noticing Di Tian's wary gaze, Lin Dong was the first to exclaim in surprise:

"What is that?! The power of this mysterious object is so immense?"

The auspicious beast also covered its mouth in surprise, pointing at the mysterious talisman and exclaiming:

"Yes, that thing is so beautiful! The power emanating from it seems quite captivating!"

A faint look of surprise appeared on Xue Di's pretty face. She nodded slightly, not showing much shock. After all, she was naturally aloof and only showed a hint of panic when facing Lin Dong.

Seeing that the others' reactions were relatively normal, Di Tian slowly shifted his gaze away and looked at the Silver Dragon King lying on the shore, who had now transformed into human form.

Lying on the shore was a stunningly beautiful young woman with long silver hair, long, curled eyelashes, clear and bright purple eyes, and slightly pale, fair skin. She possessed a noble and aloof demeanor.

At this moment, she was wearing a silver-white dress, which was completely dry, and under the sunlight, it looked like a gemstone shining with silver light.

If any man were here, he would probably be unable to resist taking a second look at this stunningly beautiful young woman.

However, Lin Dong was staring intently at the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol on the water's surface, a fiery glint in his eyes.

Although I can't say I'm proficient in using the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol, it's something that will ultimately belong to me after I become an ancestor, so how could I possibly hand it over to someone else?

Just as he was pondering how to approach Di Tian, ​​Di Tian noticed that the Silver Dragon King was unharmed. Looking at the ancestral symbol in the center of the lake, he cursed inwardly:

"Damn it! What was wrong with that thing? It suddenly stopped. What happened?!"

Seeing the anger on his face, Lin Dong immediately abandoned his plan to speak. Just then, the stunningly beautiful girl lying on the shore slowly opened her eyes.

The Silver Dragon King blinked his beautiful purple eyes, looking at the worried Di Tian before him, and said in a cold tone:

"Di Tian, ​​that thing is getting more and more restless. Let's make our move in a bit."

Di Tian glanced coldly at Lin Dong, then looked at the Silver Dragon King, bowed his head, and clasped his hands in greeting:

"Yes, my lord! But before that, shouldn't we drive this human out first?"

Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena finally came to her senses, turned slightly to look at Lin Dong, whose expression was calm, and said with a hint of surprise in her tone:

"Humans? Mythical beast, how could you bring humans here? Isn't that incredibly reckless?"

The auspicious beast trotted forward, took her arm, and gently shook it, saying affectionately:

"Hehe, he's my friend, my lord, so please don't blame me, okay?"

A hint of affection appeared on Gu Yuena's usually cool face as she patted her head.

"Alright, you've always been a playful girl, don't let it happen again."

Upon hearing her words, the auspicious beast nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

"Don't worry, my lord, I can't bring anyone else with me except Lin Dong."

"Hmm." Gu Yuena replied, turning her gaze to Lin Dong and Xue Di. Xue Di's face showed a hint of respect as she curtsied to her.

"The Snow Emperor of the Far North pays his respects to His Majesty."

Gu Yuena replied in a cool tone:

"No need for formalities."

The Snow Empress showed no displeasure, but rather a hint of submission. Seeing this, Lin Dong knew it was the perfect time to get to the point, so he quickly clasped his hands in a fist salute to Gu Yuena.

"Lord of the Soul Beasts, judging from what you just said, are you and the Beast God planning to forcibly take control of this mysterious talisman?"

Gu Yuena's eyes flickered with a strange light when she heard his address. She glanced at him and said, "Your Excellency... This address is surprisingly quite nice."

Di Tian glanced at him warily, then went to Gu Yuena's side. Just as he was about to speak, Gu Yuena raised her hand to interrupt him:

"What's wrong? What's on your mind?"

Lin Dong revealed a calm smile and said in a nonchalant tone:

"Excuse my bluntness, but for your safety, it's best not to do that."

Upon hearing this, a hint of anger appeared on Di Tian's face. He glared at Lin Dong and said angrily:

"Human! What did you say? Are you questioning the Lord and my abilities? Your very presence here is already a concession; do you intend to push your luck and interfere with our decisions?"

"Di Tian, ​​don't rush, listen to him."

"If you forcibly try to control this talisman, you will be attacked by it. At that time, although you two are quite powerful, you will probably suffer considerable injuries, or even... death!"

Hearing his words, Gu Yuena's eyes flickered slightly. Lin Dong's expression gave her a feeling of extreme confidence, so much so that she subconsciously began to consider the truthfulness of Lin Dong's words.

Di Tian glanced at Lin Dong, then spoke coldly beside Gu Yuena:

"My lord! I think this lad is completely blinded by the treasure and is just spouting nonsense! We can't trust him, my lord!"
