Douluo Continent: Lin Dong transmigrates into Huo Yuhao

Chapter 158 The Uprising of the Ancestral Symbol of Life and Death, Silver Dragon King: I've Been Behaving Myself

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's face flashed with displeasure. She narrowed her eyes dangerously as she looked at Lin Dong, her tone laced with a hint of probing:

"How do you recognize this object?"

Seeing the coldness in her eyes, the auspicious beast and the snow emperor's expressions changed slightly. If this was not explained properly, it might really arouse the dissatisfaction of this soul beast lord!

Although the two of them will fight to the death to protect each other, it is clear that they may not be able to truly protect Lin Dong.

A fleeting hint of worry crossed Xue Di's usually cool and aloof face as she watched her lips twitch, seemingly wanting to offer an explanation.

The auspicious beast blinked its golden eyes, and, already unable to hide its feelings, it now appeared even more worried.

As soul beasts, if they really fight, the Soul Beast Lord alone can suppress both of them. At that time, Lin Dong will have to face the Beast God Di Tian alone!

No matter how talented he is, it is impossible for him to defeat the strongest soul beast on the continent by himself with his current cultivation level!

At this moment, Di Tian's face was also cold, and he looked at Lin Dong and said in a low voice:

"Humans, the Lord is asking you; answer truthfully."

A murderous glint flashed in Di Tian's eyes. His left palm was half-clenched and slightly bent. If this human answered a question incorrectly, he would not hesitate to take action!

Even if the auspicious beast threatens to kill itself, he will not let this kid off easily!

After all, this concerns the master's grand plan. It is already highly suspicious that this kid came as a guest with the auspicious beast. If he can't come up with a reason, then the riot of that ghost just now must be related to him!

The two women, Xue Di and Lin Dong, also noticed Di Tian's actions and looked at Lin Dong with worried eyes. However, Lin Dong remained calm and said in a composed tone:

"Because I've seen this thing before."

Seeing Lin Dong's determined gaze, the Silver Dragon King blinked slightly, its purple pupils flashing with an unreadable meaning.

Di Tian, ​​standing to the side, was already ashen-faced and could barely contain his killing intent. This talisman had been in the Lake of Life for nearly twenty years!

Although they couldn't do anything about it, they had personally witnessed the talisman remaining there. Lin Dong actually claimed to have seen it before?!

Isn't this treating them like fools?! If it weren't for the Lord's presence, he would have already killed this human with a single blow!

A hint of killing intent flashed in Di Tian's eyes, and he said in an icy tone:

"Human, this thing has been around here for at least as long as you're old. Are you looking to die by spouting nonsense in front of us?"

The Snow Emperor and the Snow Beast immediately became alert. The auspicious beast pursed her lips and silently took half a step forward, certain that the Emperor Tian would not attack her.

Lin Dong's deep eyes showed no sign of panic, and his calm voice slowly rang out:

"To be precise, I have seen a similar one."

Gu Yuena's eyes lit up with interest. Although she had already guessed this, Lin Dong's words had undoubtedly piqued her interest.

"Di Tian, ​​put away your killing intent. He doesn't seem to be lying."

Gu Yuena spoke softly, and Di Tian, ​​as if receiving a royal decree, instantly concealed his aura, but the look in his eyes towards Lin Dong was anything but friendly.

Gu Yuena's eyes flickered slightly as she looked at Lin Dong and said in a cold tone:

"Could you tell me where you saw this kind of talisman?"

"Southwest of the Star Dou Great Forest, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, it's been about a year or so, I don't remember the exact time."

Lin Dong's calm tone reached Gu Yuena and Di Tian's ears, and their eyes changed slightly. They knew that what Lin Dong said was true!

Isn't that the direction they sensed earlier, where two exceptionally powerful gods appeared, one of whom fled and the other completely disappeared?

Although Di Tian and Gu Yuena had guessed at the time that some kind of treasure might have caused the dispute between the two sides.

However, the world of soul beasts and the human world do not have much interaction, and with the Holy Spirit Cult's strict guard, it is naturally impossible for them to find out any information.

Noticing the look in their eyes, a hint of joy flashed in Lin Dong's eyes. Sure enough, what he had anticipated was going smoothly.

Gu Yuena's eyes were no longer cold, and the chill in Di Tian's eyes was gradually disappearing. They no longer doubted the truthfulness of Lin Dong's words.

"Then this one... is Lin Dong? You just said that if we forcibly break the seal, we will be injured, or even die! What do you mean?"

Seeing that his goal had been successfully achieved, Lin Dong smiled and said:

"Because the previous similar talisman was forcibly broken, which triggered a fierce battle between two mysterious beings, and the force that broke the seal also suffered heavy losses as a result."

After saying this, Lin Dong couldn't help but think to himself, "It's really strange that I call myself a mysterious being."

Their gazes inadvertently fell upon the two, and Gu Yuena and Di Tian's expressions changed. Even with their strength, they dared not easily attempt to break the seal. What exactly was the force Lin Dong mentioned?!

Fearing Lin Dong would notice their shock, Gu Yuena maintained her calm tone:

"Oh? According to you, this matter is extremely dangerous. What kind of power does that human force possess that it was able to break the seal?"

"It can't really be called breaking through. They triggered the guardian of that thing, and with just one strike, they utterly crushed the human forces."

On the human side, there were two Limit Douluos, one Peerless Douluo, five to six Super Douluos, and nearly twenty Title Douluos.

Lin Dong's nonchalant tone caused Gu Yuena and the other woman's expressions to change. This was beyond their comprehension. Had humanity become so powerful?

Even someone as powerful as Di Tian would likely be at a disadvantage when facing the combined attack of two Limit Douluos, yet a single human force has as many as two of them!

Not to mention the Super Douluo and Peerless Douluo, this human force, if judged solely on top-tier combat power, is already comparable to the Star Dou Great Forest!

What shocked them most about what Lin Dong had just said was that the mysterious guardian he mentioned had actually caused heavy casualties to the human forces with a single blow!

To defeat the top combat power of the entire Star Dou Great Forest with a single strike—what terrifying strength must that be?!

The shock on Gu Yuena and the other woman's faces was impossible to hide, but Gu Yuena remained astute as ever, her tone carrying a hint of curiosity:

"How do you, a Soul King, know all this?"

"Because I witnessed this scene with my own eyes in the Sun Moon Empire, and that force remained within the Sun Moon Empire's territory."

Faced with her question, Lin Dong decisively brought up the Holy Spirit Sect to argue, since it was unlikely that the two sides would meet in the short term.

By the time they meet again, Lin Dong will probably no longer need to fear their strength, so he won't have to worry about Di Tian confronting them.

Di Tian gave Lin Dong a deep look, then looked at Gu Yuena and whispered:

"My lord, I did see him before; he was with people from the Sun Moon Empire, and they seemed to be of high status."

Upon hearing Di Tian's words, a smile appeared deep in Lin Dong's eyes, indicating that his plan was progressing smoothly.

Now that he has said what he needed to say, it is their turn to raise objections. He is waiting for the right moment to make his move and successfully take over the Ancestral Symbol.

But what if that god who was hiding in the shadows and spying last time comes out to cause trouble again?

Forget it, his strength is no match for his clone, so there's not much to think about. The most important thing right now is to get the Life and Death Ancestral Symbol.

Lin Dong pondered for a moment, then noticed that Gu Yuena's eyes held an ambiguous expression, and she bit her lip somewhat unwillingly.

"Did you really witness that with your own eyes?"

"Well, if you don't believe me, you can go and check."

Lin Dong spoke calmly. Apart from concealing some things, everything else he said was true, and they wouldn't find anything wrong even if they investigated.

"No need, I trust you." Gu Yuena looked at Lin Dong, a flicker of emotion flashing in her eyes.

This human's mental fortitude is almost excessive. Is it because they rely on the protection of the auspicious beast and the Snow Empress, making them fearless, or is there some other source of support...?

Gu Yuena fell into deep thought. Di Tian's gaze towards Lin Dong was no longer cold. He looked at Lin Dong and spoke softly:

"Human, I apologize. I was too impulsive just now."

Lin Dong smiled calmly and said nothing more. Di Tian withdrew his gaze and looked respectfully at Gu Yuena.

"My lord, what are our plans for later?"

Gu Yuena pondered for a moment, then said softly:

"The plan remains unchanged."

Di Tian nodded in agreement. He naturally did not question Gu Yuena's decision.

Lin Dong was overjoyed that his goal had been achieved. Naturally, he would not take the initiative to say that he was able to absorb the Ancestral Symbol.

This seems too suspicious. I must wait for the right opportunity before I can take action and retrieve the Ancestral Symbol.

In his mind, Di Tian would not give up the opportunity easily. After all, he had waited for more than ten years. How could he just give up like that?

What I said was only to make them believe that I was merely a guest invited by the auspicious beast, and that the matter of the ancestral symbol was just an accident…

Seeing that the matter had come to a temporary end, the auspicious beast and the snow empress relaxed their tense bodies. They hadn't expected Lin Dong to be so meticulous.

His answers to their questions were flawless, leaving no room for doubt.

Di Tian and Gu Yuena looked at Lin Dong with a more benevolent gaze.

After a brief silence, the Silver Dragon King spoke softly:

"Lin Dong, thank you for reminding us. However, Di Tian and I have waited too long. Even knowing the risks are extremely high, we cannot give up easily."

However, with your reminder, we've decided to gather all the spirit beasts from the Star Dou Great Forest; that will increase our chances of victory.

Lin Dong nodded, offering no objections. How would they know they couldn't control the Ancestral Symbol if they didn't take action?

Gu Yuena looked at Di Tian and said softly, "Go and inform them, Di Tian."

"yes!"

Di Tian's figure slowly disappeared. Looking at Lin Dong, who had a calm expression, Gu Yuena looked at him and said softly:

"While we appreciate your reminder, are you sure you don't want to leave? If we start our operation later, how can you, a Soul King, guarantee your safety?"

Hearing her words, Lin Dong's eyes flickered slightly, and he looked at her calmly, saying:

"Thanks for the reminder, but you guys just go about your business, I'll take care of myself."

Hearing his words, Gu Yuena frowned and gave him a deep look. How could a Soul King be so arrogant?

It seems I really overestimated him; he's just a kid who can't see his own strength.

"Well, although you insist on staying, we still owe you a favor, so we'll try our best to look after you."

Lin Dong felt a wave of helplessness. As expected, his strength was too weak, and he had been underestimated.

However, if I really leave, barring any unforeseen circumstances, all these soul beasts will probably die here.

You can't blame me for deceiving you. With your physical constitution, the Ancestral Symbol has already been assimilated by me. Even if the seal is broken, you won't be able to absorb it; you'll only get injured.

"Yes, thank you."

"It's alright."

Gu Yuena glanced at him, then turned and left to prepare for the upcoming operation.

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

Seeing her leave, Xue Di looked at Lin Dong and whispered:

"Are you sure everything will be alright later? Will they believe you?"

A meaningful smile appeared on Lin Dong's lips:

"Once they break the seal, they won't dare to disbelieve you anymore. Try not to get too close later, so you don't get hurt."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di's cheeks flushed red. Was he concerned about me? A thought flashed through her mind.

Suppressing her inner joy, her icy white eyes brightened considerably, and she nodded with pursed lips.

The auspicious beast secretly glanced at Lin Dong and said, "Then what should I do? Do I just not have to do anything?"

"Yeah, you can just watch from the sidelines. They probably won't let you play."

Seeing Lin Dong nod, the auspicious beast obediently gave an "oh" and said no more.

Before long, a few scattered soul beasts followed behind Di Tian, ​​each one a supremely ferocious beast that could not be seen in the outside world.

Lin Dong glanced around and noticed that the Crimson King, who always followed the auspicious beast around, was also there.

Several soul beasts walked towards Gu Yuena in order of their strength, with Di Tian naturally in the lead. Behind him was a stunningly beautiful woman in human form.

Her long, emerald-green hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her delicate, pretty face was framed by a pair of emerald-green eyes, giving her a vibrant and lively appearance.

She had a great figure, and her light green dress perfectly outlined her slender body. Most remarkably, she had a pair of wings on her back, which looked like they were carved from gemstones.

Her wings were a vibrant turquoise, each feather dazzlingly beautiful. The vivid green radiated life, making her appear as breathtaking as a goddess of nature.

"This is the Emerald Swan, Brigitte. Her true form is an Emerald Swan, a healing-type soul beast. The number of soul beasts in her lineage is extremely rare, almost extinct, and the total number is even rarer than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."

Because emerald swans are too fragile, and they embody the pure life force of nature, they are a great tonic for any soul beast, making it difficult for them to grow smoothly.

Sister Brigitte also went through many hardships to reach this point; she ranks fourth among the ten ferocious beasts.

Hearing the explanation from the auspicious beast, Lin Dong nodded slightly. It seemed that this Jade Swan, Bi Ji, also possessed some extraordinary abilities.

After all, just like demonic beasts, soul beasts are a world of survival of the fittest. Those who manage to fight their way up from the bottom must have their own unique abilities.

Following behind Brigitte was a middle-aged man of average height, with a bluish complexion and even his eyes were a chilling turquoise, a deep and eerie hue.

He wore a dark green robe that moved without wind, fluttering slowly behind him. His long hair, also of the same color, was so long that it stretched for a full ten meters behind him.

The auspicious beast glanced at the Demon King and whispered to Lin Dong:

"He is the fifth-ranked Demon King. He is much more ruthless than Sister Biji. More importantly, all the plant-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest obey his command. Even Di Tian will not kill him easily."

Lin Dong glanced at the middle-aged man with a gloomy face, then smiled and nodded.

"It does look quite cruel."

Immediately following, guided by the auspicious beast, Lin Dong saw a soul beast whose aura was even close to that of Di Tian.

His enormous body was fifteen meters tall, covered with a thick layer of dark golden hair, and his extremely thick arms were incredibly long, hanging down at his sides. Most exaggerated of all were his shoulders, with muscles that bulged like small hills.

"He is the overlord of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, the sixth-ranked Bear King. Although the Demon King and Sister Biji are ranked ahead of him, he is the strongest in terms of attack power."

"Hmm." Lin Dong nodded, his gaze lingering on the bear's body for a few more seconds.

After all, this guy's physical body doesn't look weak. If I could get some of its essence blood, maybe my Great Sun Thunder Body could be further improved.

Once he masters the Thunder Body technique, he should be able to fight on par with higher-level Soul Douluos and ordinary Title Douluos using only his physical body.

As Lin Dong pondered, the five ferocious beasts knelt on one knee before Gu Yuena and said in a deep voice:

"Greetings, my lord! What are your orders?"

Gu Yuena's expression was aloof, exuding an innate aura of power. Her tone was gentle, yet it prevented them from feeling any desire to resist.

"Get up, all of you. I need you to help me break a seal."

"It is the Lord!"

Without the slightest hesitation, the soul beasts looked at Gu Yuena and replied in a deep voice.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly and looked at Lin Dong, saying softly:

"Snow Empress, come here too."

As soon as the words were spoken, the ferocious beasts turned their gazes in the direction of the sound. Upon seeing Lin Dong's figure, the Crimson King's expression changed, and he anxiously looked at Gu Yuena, saying:

"My lord! It was the Snow Empress and this brat who kidnapped the auspicious beast back then, how come he's here?"

Gu Yuena slightly raised her eyes, and the imposing aura emanating from her brows silenced the Crimson King instantly. Her clear, cold voice slowly rang out:

"I asked him to stay here. He just helped me and Di Tian. What, you have a problem with that?"

The Red King's face was grim, but he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the Red King dares not."

Xue Di glanced at Lin Dong, then flashed behind the ferocious beasts, and bowed slightly to Gu Yuena, saying, "My lord."

Perhaps because of the information provided by Lin Dong, Gu Yuena's attitude towards Xue Di was much more relaxed, and she gave a soft "hmm".

Emperor Tian immediately understood and gave commands to the four ferocious beasts:

"Each of you will occupy one of the four corners: east, west, south, and north. I will teach you the hand seals. You only need to mobilize the waters of the Lake of Life to assist the three of us."

"Yes."

They dared not question the majesty of the Beast God Emperor Tian in the slightest, and bowed their heads in response.

Soon, Di Tian taught them the necessary hand seals, and the group waited respectfully for Gu Yuena to give them orders.

Gu Yuena's eyes narrowed slightly, and she softly gave the order:

"Now that everything is ready, let's begin."
