The Peerless Tang Sect: Heavenly Heart Douluo

Chapter 90, Yazi and the Auspicious Beast, comes to an end (5000-word chapter).

"Little guy, what's your name? I'm an auspicious beast, and I'll be your boss from now on!" The three-eyed golden lion said, its tail swaying uncontrollably.

"Ya, my name is Ya. Whoever is stronger is the boss." The young beast responded somewhat awkwardly. He felt that he should have a name, but the faint memories passed down in his bloodline made it impossible for him to think of a good name, so he took one character from Ya Zi's name to respond.

Ya could also sense the aura of closeness emanating from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. At the same time, a thought in his mind made him suppress the urge to submit to her from his bloodline. Although this person was stronger than him now, he would be stronger than her in the future, and he would not submit to her.

Di Tian nodded. Although it was a case of bloodline reversion, this little guy had also mastered the soul beast language passed down in his bloodline, which meant that his innate intelligence was very strong. This was a very good performance.

After all, although the bloodline of the ancestral bloodline is comparable to that of the second-generation dragons, its intelligence is hard to say.

"Alright, then we'll leave Ya to the auspicious beast. Zi Ji, you'll be in charge of looking after the auspicious beast and Ya for the time being. Let the Crimson King rest as well. I'm going into seclusion to delay the arrival of the great calamity," Di Tian said, then transformed into his true form and flew away.

"Yes, Beast God," Zi Ji replied respectfully, kneeling on one knee.

The three-eyed golden lion kept circling around Ya, occasionally using physical harassment to express its affection for him, while Ya lay on the ground, his face full of resistance but helpless. For some reason, he hated this inexplicable harassment.

"Alright, mythical beast, stop playing around, it's time to eat," Zi Ji said with a smile, waving her hand.

"Oh, alright." The three-eyed golden lion shook its large head, its mane fluttering and reflecting a dazzling luster in the sunlight.

"Let's take Ya with us and teach him how to hunt. Even though he's only a newborn, he still needs to learn hunting skills."

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded its own large head. Just as it was about to greet Ya, Ya had already stood up from the ground and followed behind it. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook its head somewhat sullenly and ran towards the outer perimeter, stepping on four balls of flame.

Although it was just born, Ya's physical strength was very strong, and it was already able to keep up with the three-eyed golden lion when it was not running at full speed. Meanwhile, Zi Ji concealed her aura and followed the two little ones in the dark.

Before long, they arrived at the mixed zone outside the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest. Guided by the power of destiny, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion discovered a twin Cyclops that was about ten thousand years old.

Because the original chaotic attribute was borne by the two heads respectively, the light attribute in one of its heads was very pure, and its spiritual power far exceeded that of ordinary ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts. Therefore, this soul beast was considered a delicacy on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's menu.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, drooling and about to give chase, noticed Ya running off in another direction: "Hey, Ya, why are you running?!" Then it turned and glared at the Twin Cyclops through gritted teeth: "Damn it, you're lucky."

The Three-Eyed Lion couldn't care less about the Twin Cyclops and hurriedly chased after Ya. After all, delicious food can be eaten anytime, but how could it let its little brother get away!

Then the three-eyed golden lion discovered that Ya was confronting a giant ant with its entire body in gold. The giant ant was two meters long and its body shimmered with a golden luster. Its pair of huge teeth looked extremely sharp, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks, and cut gold and jade.

This giant ant is a soul beast called the Gold-Eating Ant. It possesses a rare golden bloodline and is a rare mutated soul beast that can only appear in the colony of Thousand-Pound Ants. Its attack and defense are extremely powerful. It feeds on various rare metals, and the aura of this Gold-Eating Ant is close to the ten-thousand-year level.

Just as the three-eyed golden lion was about to approach its prey, it heard the deep roar of the yak: "I am the prey, do not come any closer."

"?!" The three-eyed golden lion jumped up in anger upon hearing this: "Damn it, you're barely born, how could you possibly beat this thing? Humph, when you can't beat it later, you'll have to beg me for help!"

Ya slowly circled the Gold-Eating Ant clockwise, and the Gold-Eating Ant also slowly rotated its body in response. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was getting a little bored watching this.

Ya first charged forward in a clockwise direction, then immediately leaped and changed direction, charging towards the Gold-Eating Ant in a counter-clockwise direction. The Gold-Eating Ant was startled by Ya's first move and hurriedly turned its body sharply to face Ya's attack.

However, upon seeing Ya's feint, it became clear that while the armor-like shell covering his body granted him powerful defense, it also diminished his agility.

With a feint, Ya swerved past the Queen of Gold-Eating Ants and charged to his side. Its dark golden wolf-like snout bit down hard on the junction of the Gold-Eating Ant's head and body. The Gold-Eating Ant's golden carapace shattered as if it had met its nemesis, and the original brilliance in its golden eyes vanished instantly.

A purplish-black spirit ring slowly floated up, symbolizing the death of the Gold-Eating Ant.

Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was also a little stunned. At first, it didn't react. After all, her hunting was always about her chasing others or the other party dying peacefully. To be honest, her combat experience was pitifully small. Perhaps she had more experience in running.

Murasaki nodded secretly in the shadows. In her opinion, Ya might have inherited some combat experience, so she wouldn't need to specifically train and teach Ya combat.

In fact, all of these were pre-arranged by Hei Yuhao. Whether it was the fighting style of the soul beasts or their language, they were all carefully extracted from the memories of the Ice and Fire Dragon King and incorporated into the dragon bloodline.

Then, Ya Xian abandoned the corpse of the Gold-Eating Ant, walked to the Gold-Eating Ant's soul ring, and opened his mouth wide. The soul ring transformed into pure soul power and was drawn into his belly. Then he started to open his mouth on the Gold-Eating Ant's corpse, which left the Three-Eyed Golden Lion somewhat stunned.

The one-meter-long Ya quickly devoured the entire corpse of the gold-eating ant, which was over two meters long, without revealing anything except that its body had grown slightly larger.

Zi Ji carefully observed Ya's current state. His body size had increased by ten centimeters compared to before, and his soul power cultivation had also increased by about ninety to one hundred years after he swallowed the Gold-Eating Ant Queen, which was about nine thousand years old.

This increase is already quite exaggerated for a soul beast. Of course, as Ya's cultivation level increases, the cultivation increase provided by a soul beast that has been around nine thousand years old will definitely decrease. But is this the power of the devouring ability?

Zi Ji thought to herself, no wonder Emperor Tian had issued an order to strictly control those soul beasts with the ability to devour, and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was to be killed without mercy if encountered. If such a growth rate was not curbed, it would indeed endanger the entire ecological chain of the Star Dou Great Forest.

However, if the purpose of feeding Ya, a member of the dragon race, is solely to allow it to devour and cultivate, enabling it to reach the age of 100,000, then sacrificing some thousand- or ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts might be worthwhile if it could bring a pure-blooded dragon beast king to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Moreover, based on Zi Ji's observation, when Ya Yi has cultivated for 10,000 to 20,000 years, he might be comparable to some beast kings with 100,000 years of cultivation.

"Sleepy." Ya opened his mouth wide, yawned, and said directly to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion before lying down on the ground and falling asleep.

"???" The three-eyed golden lion stared blankly at the scene, then roared, "Ya! You bastard, don't you dare sleep!"

However, Ya remained unmoved, leaving the three-eyed golden lion roaring in place. Zi Ji looked on helplessly, perhaps because Ya needed enough time to digest the gold-devouring ant queen.

Zi Ji appeared before the three-eyed golden lion and said with a mixture of doting and helplessness, "Never mind, auspicious beast, I'll take Ya and you back to rest first."

"Alright, alright, that wretched guy, I'm going to give him a good beating when he wakes up!"

With the departure of Zi Ji, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and Ya, the place returned to peace.

After returning to the shores of the Lake of Life, it took Ya an hour to absorb the energy within his body before he woke up and said, "I'm hungry."

"Oh?" Murasaki asked with some curiosity, "Are you hungry so quickly?"

Ya nodded and said, "Absorb it, I'm hungry."

The three-eyed golden lion snorted irritably, then said, "Damn it, I haven't even eaten yet, and I've already brought you back, and you still dare to say you're hungry!"

Ya merely glanced at her and ignored her, then looked at Zi Ji to the side, which drove the Three-Eyed Golden Lion crazy, causing it to start muttering to itself.

Zi Ji nodded and said, "Then Ya and the auspicious beast can play together in the Lake of Life for a while. I'll go and bring you two food. Ya, your strength is too low right now. You can't always find a suitable soul beast."

Ya nodded, lay down by the lake and licked the spring water in the Lake of Life, feeling the life force in his body gradually become stronger, feeling a sense of comfort. Meanwhile, Zi Ji left the perilous place of the Star Dou Great Forest.

There are more than just one or two ferocious beasts inhabiting this place. Even a human Limit Douluo wouldn't be foolish enough to enter. Moreover, there are other ferocious beasts guarding the perimeter, so she felt at ease.

After frolicking around for a while, the three-eyed golden lion approached Ya and asked, "Is this water delicious? Don't you find it bitter? I think it tastes much worse than the brains of the Twin Cyclopes."

Ya nudged the three-eyed golden lion's large head with its paw and said, "It's not bitter, it's hot."

However, he found that the other party did not move at all. Ya's current cultivation level was only close to two thousand years, which was incomparable to the three-eyed golden lion's cultivation level of fifteen thousand years.

At this moment, the three-eyed golden lion turned its big head, as if it had thought of something, and chuckled and said, "Hey, Ya, Uncle Ditian has gone to sleep, and Aunt Ziji and the others have left too. Now it's just the two of us. Do we want to go outside and play? The Lake of Life is so boring."

She had never had any playmates before, but now that she has a friend of the same age as Ya, Miss Three-Eyed Golden Lion can hardly suppress her desire to have fun.

Ya glanced at her indifferently, intending to continue lying down, but the three-eyed golden lion with gleaming eyes grabbed him by the back of his neck from behind. Although he wanted to resist, the difference in strength was too great, and he had no choice but to let it carry him away.

"Let me go, or I'll become a beast!" Ya threatened, baring his teeth.

"Waaah." The three-eyed golden lion shook its head, seemingly muttering something.

"Isn't there any animal control? The auspicious beast is trying to escape!" Ya started howling loudly.

"Woo woo woo!" Upon seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stiffened, curled up on the spot, and released its grip on Ya. Not long after, a huge canine soul beast with three heads and a crimson body descended from the sky, exuding a terrifying aura. It was none other than the Crimson King, one of the ferocious beasts. At this moment, two of its heads were still in a half-asleep, half-awake state.

The head in the middle looked terrified: "Little ancestor, what are you going to do now? Didn't you say that Zi Ji would take over my care of you? Where is her dragon?"

"Wait, who is this kid? He has the aura of a dragon. Is he the one that Zi Ji brought before?" someone mumbled, confused.

"Hey, Uncle Red King, I just took Ya to play with Uncle Bear King." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly thought of something, and then frantically blinked its big golden eyes, which were about the size of a human head, at Ya.

Ya tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "Is that so? Then why didn't you tell me?"

Upon hearing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion nodded hurriedly, "Ah, yes, yes, that's exactly right! Uncle Red King, I never intended to run off to play!"

The Crimson King looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with a helpless expression: "Alright, then I'll take you and this one. Ya? Let's go find the Bear King. Little Ancestor, don't scare me!"

The Crimson King controlled his soul power, drawing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Ya to fly towards a direction in the core area. The closer they got, the more obvious their domineering aura became. Clearly, this was the residence of the Bear Lord, a brute who even dared to provoke Emperor Tian.

The chief of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan, a race that also constitutes part of the soul bone of Ya's body, and is known as the clan that can tear apart true dragons.

Ya could feel that he could sense some kind of indescribable rhythm from this aura, and he seemed to be able to understand something from it.

The three-eyed golden lion seemed oblivious, shouting from high above, "Uncle Bear, Uncle Bear! I want honey!"

At this moment, in the dense forest below, a giant bear slowly awoke. Its massive body was fifteen meters tall, covered with a thick, dark golden fur, and its arms were incredibly long, hanging down at its sides.

With such a huge body, its arms were longer than its knees, meaning they were over ten meters long and extremely thick. Most exaggeratedly, its shoulders were bulging with muscles like small hills.

He scratched his body with his paw, muttering, "Ugh, why is this little devil here again? I can't sleep well anymore."

At the same time, along with his mental signal, swarms of bee spirit beasts flew up from the forest where he lived. Finally, they lifted up a giant vessel formed by hollowing out a tree trunk that was ten meters wide, in which a layer of golden honey had accumulated.

Leading the pack was a queen bee exuding a terrifying aura; she was also a 100,000-year-old soul beast.

Xiong Jun waved his hand and said, "You take that little brat to drink honey. I'm going back to sleep. Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

Then Xiong Jun lay down on the ground, as if he had become one with the dense forest.

The three-eyed golden lion howled in the sky for a long time, when a huge bee-like soul beast flew up from below and respectfully addressed the Crimson King, saying, "Your Majesty, Lord Auspicious Beast, Lord Bear is currently resting and requests that we bring the Auspicious Beast to have a meal."

The Crimson King nodded and flew towards the ground with Ya and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, landing in front of the enormous vessel.

Ya was not attracted by the honey. Instead, he jumped down from the tree trunk and walked on the surrounding land. He saw that the land was scarred and covered with huge claw marks, which contained a sense of tearing space apart. Ya's claws shot out, and he felt that he could do something similar.

Unbeknownst to him, the power of his conviction seemed to have diminished slightly, and the shape of his claws was also slightly different from before. As Ya's claws swung across the ground, a crack was cut into the earth, though it was far less terrifying than the mark left by Xiong Jun.

However, Ya felt that as he grew in the future, he would also be able to possess the earth-shattering power that Xiong Jun had.

Just as Ya was sensing the attack marks left by Xiong Jun, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion quietly crept up behind him, then grabbed him by the scruff of his neck, took him up, and flew him to the honey.

"Uncle Xiong's honey is delicious! You should try it; it's a hundred times, even ninety times, better than the water from the Lake of Life!"

He glared at her, but then he bent down and started licking the honey. He discovered that this honey was a rare treasure that could only be produced by bee spirit beasts that were over ten thousand years old, and his devouring ability could absorb and utilize it to the maximum extent, which would be of great benefit to him.

Ordinary soul beasts can only increase their soul power slightly after consuming it, and nothing more.

"Hey, hey, don't eat it all!" Seeing this, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion also hurriedly started to fight with him for the honey. By the time it got dark, neither Ya nor the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could eat anymore.

The Crimson King watched helplessly as the two little ones lay on the ground, and could only use his soul power to bring them back to the shore of the Lake of Life.

Meanwhile, Zi Ji had been waiting there for a long time. She had discovered the message left by the Red King when she returned earlier; otherwise, she would have gone crazy when she saw the two little ones missing by the Lake of Life.

Looking at the two sleeping little ones, Zi Ji sighed helplessly and led them back to the residence of the auspicious beast near the ominous land.

And so, Ya and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion caught chickens and chased dogs together in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, causing trouble every day. Of course, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was the one who did most of these things.

In his subsequent life, Ya honed his claws and combat skills, constantly challenging and hunting various metal-attribute or golden-blooded soul beasts, killing and devouring them to strengthen his own cultivation.

And so they spent a carefree time in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest.
