Lu Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the energy fluctuations of the hellfire in the distance. The Crimson King was no pushover and could obviously hold on for much longer.
That being the case.
He took out a bright green bracelet, its vibrant green color shimmering. Then, specks of green light flowed down his wrist and into his body, transforming into rich soul power that amplified Lu Cheng's entire body.
This is the level nine soul tool. Although its main function is defense, it also contains the Soul Guidance Technology of a baby bottle, which is comparable to a level eight soul tool baby bottle.
"call……"
As his soul power gradually increased, Lu Cheng's complexion improved considerably. Both the Rainbow Transformation Technique and the Ice Bone Explosion Technique consumed an extreme amount of soul power. If it were any other ordinary Soul Emperor, or even a Soul Saint, they would probably have been drained dry long ago...
It's only because he has several soul spirits amplifying his power, and Tianmeng, a giant power bank, that he dares to do this.
About half an hour later, Lu Cheng had recovered enough to take off and slowly approach the center of the battle in the distance.
"Humans, have you all gone mad?!"
Before they even got within a kilometer, the Red King's roar echoed through the sky.
In Lu Cheng's exaggerated mental detection, the once majestic three-headed giant dog, which was tens of meters tall, now had its three huge heads drooping, its body covered in bloodstains, and dark energy attached to it, preventing its injuries from healing.
Their faces were also covered in blood, and one of their heads was blind in both eyes. They seemed to be holding on, fighting purely out of willpower.
The final step was self-destruction.
But if it dies, the auspicious beast will definitely be captured by this group of desperados.
The Crimson King's three heads stared coldly at the few guys in the distance who were flying kites and whittling down its health with their skills. They were clearly very strong, but they just had to resort to such underhanded tactics.
It glanced behind it with a slightly worried expression.
The auspicious beast has long since disappeared. Although it was injured, it wasn't serious. Run, run as far as you can...
It's likely that it will fail here today.
"Red King, I have long admired your name," Zhongli Wu said with a smile. "However, you may not have noticed yet, but this entire space has been arrayed by us. Once you enter, unless I reopen it, there is no way to leave. Even if you try to run, you will only be running around like a headless fly within this spatial array."
"We dare not attempt to capture the auspicious beast without adequate preparation."
"Despicable!" the Crimson King roared.
"..."
Chapter 169 The Crimson King Self-Destructs, the Adorable Auspicious Beast; Exchanging Memories
"Whoosh, whoosh..."
On the flat grassland, the auspicious beast stumbled forward, its legs injured by the humans who had suddenly appeared. It was only thanks to the Red King's full protection that it managed to escape.
Its once majestic golden fur was now stained with blood and disheveled, and its three eyes looked around with unease and fear.
This was not the Starry Sky Forest she knew.
The surroundings were lifeless, seemingly another parallel space. The forest was still lush, but the soul beasts hidden within had vanished without a trace.
"Where exactly is this place...?"
The auspicious beast leaned against an ancient tree, curled up, and watched the battle between the Crimson King and the group of mysterious humans in the distance, a sense of despair welling up in its heart.
Di Tian is right. Humans... are all a bunch of greedy, despicable insects.
"Boom~"
Just as it was regretting its actions, a dark purple rainbow streak flew from the sky. The aura it carried carried immense power and swept over it. Clearly, it was probably the other party's target. The Crimson King was now in a precarious situation, so it was only a matter of time before the other party took the initiative to deal with it.
"Damn it..." The auspicious beast's face was contorted with rage as she let out a sharp, piercing roar, barely suppressing the blood gushing from her throat. Even if it meant self-destruction, she would never let these despicable humans succeed.
The figure was getting closer and closer in her field of vision, clearly having already sensed her presence and searching for her inch by inch from afar.
Just as it was about to reach her, the auspicious beast's eyes reddened, and it gathered its energy, preparing to self-destruct.
But then he was suddenly patted on the head.
The mythical beast looked up in bewilderment. A young man in green robes was standing beside her, not looking at her, but gazing up at the approaching man in black robes.
"I can save you," the boy said gently.
"..."
Although the mythical beast looked bewildered, for some reason, it seemed that the will to survive made her like a drowning person. At this moment, she would desperately grab onto any rope that was handed to her. She chose to trust the human boy and followed him to the top of a lush ancient tree. The two hid behind the dense green leaves and quietly waited for the man in black robes to search for them.
Strangely, her presence seemed to have vanished completely. Even though she was less than a hundred meters away from the figure, the other party did not notice her at all. The black-robed man seemed to be clearly surprised, astonished that his prey, which was about to be captured, had suddenly disappeared.
Finally, in a fit of rage, he vented his anger on the surrounding woods and then headed away into the distance.
"..."
Only after Zhang Peng had completely disappeared and there were no more mantises around did Lu Cheng peek out and exhale a long breath.
However, a nest of kingfishers was perched on Lu Cheng's head, nestled there like a nest. Several pairs of eyes were looking around just like Lu Cheng's, indicating that they were also very busy.
Zhang Peng is, after all, a Super Douluo, and his strength should not be underestimated. If he is discovered, it will probably be troublesome.
He doesn't yet have the confidence to go toe-to-toe with a powerhouse of that level.
Who exactly are you?
The auspicious beast's head peeked out from one side of the lush foliage, with a nest of kingfishers perched atop its head. These adorable little creatures seemed to have been attracted by her; as an auspicious beast, a lucky charm among soul beasts, she naturally felt a sense of affinity towards other soul beasts.
"Do you want to live?" Lu Cheng didn't answer, but instead asked another question with a smile.
"Nonsense!" the mythical beast gritted its teeth, "It's all because of you humans..."
"Sigh, I'm not taking the blame for this." Lu Cheng shrugged and said, "The human world is also divided into countless camps and forces. These guys are the Holy Spirit Cult and evil soul masters. They are universally hated in the human world. Just like you soul beasts, you are probably not a monolithic group either."
"..." The auspicious beast was taken aback, its eyes flickering.
This was the first time she had ever seen a living, breathing person.
"You humans are indeed very cunning."
He grumbled and complained about Lu Cheng, but he also softened his tone and backed down.
Ultimately, it was Lu Cheng who saved it.
Leaving aside gratitude, at least it's much better for human perception.
Looking at the injured beast's leg, Lu Cheng frowned slightly: "Can it still walk?"
"No." The mythical beast struggled and tried, its three golden eyes staring longingly at Lu Cheng before shaking its head.
After the aura of mutual destruction dissipated, the entire soul beast went limp and inexplicably developed a sense of attachment to Lu Cheng.
"Then let's stay here. The Crimson King should be able to hold on for a while longer."
Lu Cheng sighed softly.
They could only pin their hopes on Elder Yi breaking the formation sooner; otherwise, without the Crimson King at the forefront, even with his terrifying mental strength, he would eventually be found by Zhongli Wu and the others who were now free to act.
After all, while the mental strength of a Title Douluo may be average, those who can advance to Super Douluo all possess considerable attainments in mental strength.
"Are you hungry?" Lu Cheng asked.
"A little..." Feeling its stomach rumbling, the auspicious beast, like a puppy, rested its head on the branches of an ancient tree, its ears twitching like flashing signal lights.
“Here.” Lu Cheng pondered for a moment, ignoring the wailing of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm in his spiritual sea, and took out a wisp of white mist, a bit of Heavenly Dream Brother’s original power.
"...It feels so familiar." The mythical beast didn't suspect a thing, swallowing it whole and savoring it, but its expression was somewhat strange: "Wait...it's that big white worm!!"
Lu Cheng: "..."
Forgot that this little guy also absorbed the power of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's origin.
"It tastes good." The mythical beast instantly became lively, clinging to Lu Cheng and pressing its massive head against his forehead. "Is there more? Is there more?"
“That’s it.” Lu Cheng’s eyes twitched. Although this guy was huge and had the appearance of a ferocious beast, when it opened its blood-red maw, it did not have the fishy smell of a typical ferocious beast. Instead, it carried a strong medicinal fragrance, which was quite effective in refreshing the mind.
There must be some story behind the birth of auspicious beasts, right?
"Oh..." Seeing that Lu Cheng wouldn't give it to her, the mythical beast slumped down and lay to the side, seemingly turning its head away, but its large, golden eyes secretly glancing at Lu Cheng.
"Is your human world... really as dangerous as Di Tian said?" After a long silence, the auspicious beast finally spoke slowly.
"Want to see?" Lu Cheng suddenly remembered another function of the auspicious beast: when their foreheads touched, their fates would become intertwined with it. This was originally a scheme set up by the Tang God King to harvest Huo Gua, but now...
"It's done!"
At the same time, within the Sea of Spirit, Electrolux's long-silent voice rang out once more.
"Teacher, can we break the seal now?" A look of joy appeared in Lu Cheng's eyes.
“Not bad.” Electrox smiled.
"The god who spent some effort to infuse this formation with divine power probably didn't put in much thought and didn't expect my existence."
"In that case, please break the formation."
Lu Cheng breathed a long sigh of relief.
"it is good."
Electrolux slowly materialized into a dark figure, raised his long staff, and chanted an obscure incantation. A six-pointed star array slowly took shape.
"This is..." The auspicious beast was somewhat bewildered.
"Want to see the human world?" Lu Cheng smirked, looking like a wicked uncle trying to lure a little girl. "If you want, come closer..."
……
"Roar!!!"
Sensing the black-robed figure return, the Crimson King could no longer sit still. His eyes turned red, and his powerful aura surged once more, enveloping Zhongli Wu and the others in a final burst of energy: "A bunch of damned beasts. Since you've come, then stay here forever."
"Oh no, it's going to self-destruct!!" Zhongli Wu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed drastically.
The plan was to slowly boil the frog in water, but unexpectedly, this guy went and they perished together.
"It's over, hehe..."
The Crimson King's three heads swept around the crowd with disdain. Though in a wretched state, it radiated a final burst of brilliance. Flames trapped the three of them, and then its body rapidly expanded and enlarged. A ferocious beast over 300,000 years old was self-destructing; no one could stop it unless a Limit Douluo personally intervened...
Zhongli Wu, on the other hand, was clearly far from reaching that level.
"Give it to me, explode!" the Crimson King roared.
Countless pillars of blazing fire rose from the ground, like a volcanic eruption. The dark flames spread across the sky, enveloping a large area of forest, including Zhongli Wu and the others.
