Soul Land 2: Golden Dragon King

Di Tian and Bi Ji silently watched Lin Yun's actions, not interrupting his thoughts.

After retracting his martial soul, Lin Yun's right arm returned to its normal state, though his already tattered clothes were now in even worse condition.

Seeing this, Bi Ji, with great tact, produced a white feathered robe from somewhere and draped it over Lin Yun.

"You're very thoughtful," Lin Yun smiled as he looked at the robe draped over him.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say more, but as the Golden Dragon King, a being of ferocity and conquest, his persona didn't allow for overly exaggerated words or expressions.

Bi Ji smiled softly. "It's my duty, My Lord."

After giving Bi Ji an approving glance, Lin Yun turned to Di Tian and said, "Di Tian, I've just sensed that my reincarnation is quite thorough. Apart from the power within my bloodline that I will gradually unlock, there's no difference between me and a normal human."

"Whether it's lifespan or martial soul, it's the same. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"My Lord, I understand!" Di Tian sighed, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "Your current soul power has reached a bottleneck and requires a soul ring. I will find a suitable soul beast for you, one that will willingly offer its soul ring for you to absorb."

Lin Yun chuckled lightly, a pure dragon's might briefly emanating from him. "Back then, the human gods waged war against us for their own interests. Later, they restricted the path to godhood for beast gods, turning Douluo Continent into a cage."

"But don't worry, I will personally shatter this cage and rip the heads off those human gods, one by one!"

...

The Golden Dragon King's attribute was the purest form of strength and destruction—the most fundamental and essential of all powers. Even in the Star Dou Great Forest, there weren't many soul beasts that could meet Lin Yun's requirements for a soul ring.

And Di Tian, naturally, would find the best for Lin Yun.

"Found it!" Di Tian's right hand instantly transformed into a pitch-black dragon claw, and he slashed toward a mountain peak. The several-hundred-meter-tall peak was torn apart, revealing a seal hidden beneath it.

The seal was covered in black energy and radiated a strong spatial force—a signature of Di Tian's power.

Through the seal, one could vaguely see a strange beast that resembled a hippopotamus but had tusks, sharp claws, a robust body, and was covered in fur.

"It's a good thing I didn't kill you back then and instead sealed you here. Otherwise, I would have missed out on a great resource."

With a wave of his hand, Di Tian used his dark soul power to lift the beast and tore through space, swiftly heading toward the Life Lake.

By the lake.

Lin Yun casually sat on a rock, his feet dipped in the clear, life-filled waters of the lake, gently stirring the surface and creating ripples.

Bi Ji was nearby as well. Though she didn't bare her feet and dip them into the water like Lin Yun, a lively group of fish had gathered around her.

In contrast, the fish near Lin Yun, frightened by the faint dragon's might emanating from him, had all fled to Bi Ji's side, where the life energy was stronger.

Seeing this, Lin Yun's face darkened, and he glared at the fish.

"Prison Emperor, I feel like eating fish tonight."

Di Tian: ???

Bi Ji couldn't help but giggle, but upon noticing Lin Yun's sharp gaze, she quickly covered her lips with her hand, though the amusement in her eyes was still evident.

'Our Lord's body has turned into that of a human child, and it seems his personality has become a bit childish too?' Bi Ji secretly laughed to herself.

However, she would only dare to think such things in her mind. She wouldn't dare to tease Lin Yun to his face.

The dignity of the Golden Dragon King was not something she could offend.

Lin Yun pursed his lips and turned his head away, not bothering to argue with Bi Ji.

Right now, he was pondering what kind of soul beast Di Tian would bring back for him.

A Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bear? A Titan Giant Ape?

Or perhaps a pure-blooded dragon-type soul beast?

Any of them were possible.

Just as Lin Yun was lost in his thoughts, Di Tian descended from the sky with a massive shadow, landing lightly not far from him.

"My Lord, I've brought your soul ring," Di Tian said with a bow.

Even without Di Tian's explanation, Lin Yun knew this soul beast was prepared for him. His gaze was immediately drawn to it, and after examining the strange-looking beast for a while, he asked uncertainly.

"Is this... a Behemoth? Does Douluo Continent have this kind of soul beast?" Lin Yun was puzzled.

From Lin Yun's memory, in the world of a certain author's works, Behemoths only appeared in the world of "Cannon Fodder Emperor," and that was a Purple-Gold Behemoth.

But he had never heard of Behemoths existing in Douluo Continent!

"My Lord has a keen eye. This is indeed a Behemoth, and it's likely the only one in Douluo Continent," Di Tian explained.

Through Di Tian's explanation, Lin Yun learned the origin of this creature.

It turned out that this Behemoth wasn't part of a Behemoth tribe but was a soul beast with Behemoth bloodline. It had been extremely fortunate to awaken the Behemoth power deep within its bloodline, evolving into a Behemoth through bloodline reversion.

It was the only one.

Over ten thousand years ago, when the Sky Dream Iceworm crossed the seas to reach the Star Dou Great Forest and was captured by Di Tian and the other fierce beasts, imprisoned in the Life Lake as a power source, this Behemoth had coincidentally appeared.

Back then, Tang San hadn't even been born yet.

Behemoths, creatures that fed on dragons, were an even more powerful race than Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bears.

Di Tian and Zi Ji, while out laying dragon eggs, had ventured a bit too far and stumbled upon this Behemoth, which was scavenging in the Hell Demon Dragon's territory.

Originally, Di Tian had wanted to kill it outright, but considering it might be the only Behemoth in Douluo Continent, he suppressed the disgust in his bloodline and sealed it away instead.

This Behemoth was 3,300 years old and was called the Frenzied Blood Behemoth, a complete madman in battle.

Well, though it might be a bit disrespectful to say so, Di Tian felt it was the perfect match for Lin Yun.

Dark Golden Terrorclaw Bears were always available, and higher-aged ones could be arranged at any time. But a Behemoth? There was only this one.

The inherent power of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, combined with the three years of transformation by the Life Gold, meant that the usual restriction of human soul masters only being able to absorb hundred-year soul rings didn't apply to Lin Yun. Even a 3,300-year Behemoth soul ring could be easily absorbed by him.

This was the first soul ring Di Tian had prepared for Lin Yun.

"Excellent, you've done well. I'm very satisfied with this soul ring!" Lin Yun nodded sincerely.

If Di Tian said he could absorb a 3,300-year soul ring, what did he have to fear?

He just had to go for it.

After having Di Tian loosen the seal slightly, Lin Yun transformed his right hand into a golden dragon claw and slapped the Behemoth to death with a single strike.

A noble purple soul ring gradually condensed from its corpse.
