Legend has it that on the Douluo Continent, two Emperor Ruishou would never appear at the same time. Almost all Spirit Beasts could only respectfully worship it in its presence and would never harm it.
Spirit Beasts chosen by it as food would never resist, other than trying to escape.
"A Spirit Beast with both fire and light attributes? This is a spirit ring tailor-made for me. Judging by its aura, its cultivation must be at least ten thousand years." Looking at the Emperor Ruishou not far away, Qian Renxue's gaze suddenly sharpened, and she said with a hint of pleasant surprise.
"It truly is finding something without searching for it, and getting it without any effort."
The next second, Qian Renxue's eyes suddenly became sharp, like an eagle locking onto its prey. A golden six-winged phantom emerged from behind her, and a wisp of Holy Light descended from it.
The true cultivation of this Emperor Ruishou was only around five thousand years, but due to its immense strength, a ten-thousand-year cultivation could rival a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, which led to Qian Renxue's misjudgment!
At the same time, Snake Lance Douluo's gaze was also fixed on the Emperor Ruishou, but at this moment, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation.
As a Titled Douluo, Snake Lance Douluo believed he could fight even an ordinary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast. But at this moment, he vaguely felt a sense of… dread. He always felt as if some danger existed around him, and if he were to act, the consequences would be dire.
"Young Lord," Snake Lance Douluo took a step forward and said with a solemn tone, "This Spirit Beast does not seem simple. Its Bloodline far surpasses ordinary Spirit Beasts. If we rashly attack and hunt it, I'm afraid…"
Before he finished speaking, Qian Renxue had already raised her hand, signaling him not to say more.
Qian Renxue's Phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she gazed at the majestic and noble figure of the Emperor Ruishou, and slowly said, "This Spirit Beast possesses both extreme light and extreme fire attributes, which is perfect for the Six-Winged Angel Spirit. If I can kill it and absorb its spirit ring, my Six-Winged Angel Spirit might be able to enter an unprecedented Realm."
As she spoke, she slowly took a step forward.
With a buzzing sound, a golden light swept out from beneath Qian Renxue's feet, like a sacred tide rolling up. Two yellow, two purple, and one black spirit ring slowly rose from beneath her feet.
"Take it down." Qian Renxue's expression was stern, but her tone was extremely calm.
Upon hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo exchanged glances. Although they still felt a vague unease in their hearts, they dared not disobey the Young Lord's command, and both responded, "Yes!"
Boom!
The two great Titled Douluo flashed, almost simultaneously transforming into two afterimages, pouncing towards the Emperor Ruishou.
One in front and one behind, two powerful spirit power fluctuations suddenly pressed down from the air, as if heaven and earth trembled with them!
And just as they moved, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, caught in the middle and still fleeing in a panic, was instantly stunned.
(°ー°〃)???
It looked front and back.
It saw the golden-clad Emperor Ruishou behind it, and two powerful, mountain-like figures in front. Its mind instantly exploded, letting out a shriek, and then it frantically darted sideways.
But after only two steps, it crashed head-first into a century-old ancient tree nearby.
"Bang—"
The entire tree shook violently from the impact, and a large bump instantly swelled on the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear's head. Its eyes rolled back, dizzy and disoriented, as it stumbled and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, even Snake Lance Douluo couldn't help but frown and murmur:
"Truly… incredibly stupid."
But the next second, their gazes were completely drawn to the front.
Upon sensing the powerful auras of the two great Titled Douluo, the Emperor Ruishou did not retreat but instead advanced, letting out a furious roar towards the sky!
"Roar—!!!"
Golden light, like a waterfall, surged from its fur, and the golden flames on its four limbs suddenly erupted, scorching the ground beneath its feet, causing it to crack inch by inch!
What was even more shocking was that the vertical eye on its forehead slowly opened, and the golden light instantly transformed into a beam of light that shot straight into the sky.
However, just as Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo were only a dozen meters away from the Emperor Ruishou, the entire forest suddenly shook, and a dark red figure, as if tearing through the Void Realm, slammed down from mid-air!
"Boom!!!"
Without any warning, and not even a hint of spirit power fluctuation, that figure appeared out of thin air, suddenly blocking the Emperor Ruishou's path.
"Bang!!!"
Accompanied by a violent explosion, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo's attacks had not yet landed when they were fiercely struck by an overwhelming force. The two were sent flying backward instantly, as if hit by a giant hammer!
"Cough…!!"
Snake Lance Douluo grunted, suppressing the surging Qi and Blood within him. He shifted his feet and regained his balance. He looked up, his face extremely grim, and cursed in a low voice:
"What is that? How can it have such terrifying power?"
At the same time, Porcupinefish Douluo slowly climbed up from the ground, his face ashen, his eyes filled with incredulous fear, and a strong sense of alarm rose in his heart.
And just then, a dark red figure slowly walked out from the smoke and dust.
Step—
Step—
Each step seemed to tread on everyone's hearts, and the heavy oppressive feeling emanating from within was impossible to ignore.
Once the smoke and dust cleared, Snake Lance Douluo's eyes narrowed, and he finally saw the appearance of the newcomer.
It was a Spirit Beast entirely blood-red, over five meters tall, and extremely robust. It somewhat resembled a lion but had three identical heads, each over a meter in diameter, with terrifying canines emitting a reddish-gold luster.
This Spirit Beast was the Red King, ranked eighth among the Ten Vicious Beasts. Its true form was the Three-Headed Red Demonic Mastiff, with the fire attribute and possessing a partial Dragon Bloodline, cultivated for around three hundred thousand years.
"Th-this is…",
"A hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast?!"
Snake Lance Douluo's pupils constricted violently, and he unconsciously took half a step back, his face changing drastically.
In this era of Douluo Continent One, since the Ten Vicious Beasts were mostly hidden, the strongest Spirit Beasts known to Spirit Masters were the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Ox Python.
Very few people knew of the existence of the Ten Vicious Beasts and the Emperor Ruishou.
"This guy's strength seems to be even greater than the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Ox Python!"
Porcupinefish Douluo said in a hoarse voice, enunciating each word. Sweat seeped from his temples; at this moment, for the first time, he felt the threat of death from a Spirit Beast.
"How is this possible? This isn't the core region! How can there be a hundred-thousand-year-level Spirit Beast here?!" Qian Renxue's face was also extremely grim.
Just then, the lion-like Spirit Beast with three heads actually spoke human words, saying, "You humans, how audacious you are, to dare to covet the Auspicious Beast… You truly have a death wish."
This voice carried a powerful mental shock, causing the air to tremble.
Upon hearing this, Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo's hearts tightened, their expressions instantly changing drastically. They stammered, "A… a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast that can speak?!"
The two exchanged glances, both seeing horror in the other's eyes.
Spirit Beasts that could speak human words were at least at the Peak of the hundred-thousand-year Realm.
They thought, "Today is the end!"
