Soul Land 2: Golden Dragon King

After nearly ten thousand years of being sealed, even the Behemoth's incredibly strong body had become extremely weak.

This was evident from its atrophied muscles. Its outward appearance of strength was mostly due to its thick fur, as there wasn't much actual muscle left.

In this fragile state, Lin Yun's single slap was more than enough to end its life.

With Di Tian and Bi Ji present, the Life Lake was as safe as it could possibly be. Lin Yun sat down on the ground, released his Golden Dragon King martial soul, and began to draw the Behemoth's soul ring toward himself.

The moment the purple soul ring settled onto him, Lin Yun felt a heavy pressure instantly emanate from the ring, pressing down on every part of his body.

But for Lin Yun, it was nothing.

Sure, Behemoths were said to feed on dragons, but that depended on what kind of dragon. In front of the Golden Dragon King, even the strongest Behemoth would likely only be fit for a slap.

Not to mention this measly 3,300-year-old Behemoth?

Lin Yun's formidable physical strength gave him plenty of confidence. He steadily followed his instincts, circulating his soul power and absorbing the energy continuously flowing into his body from the soul ring.

Di Tian and Bi Ji stood not far from Lin Yun, quietly guarding him.

Although few soul beasts dared to enter the vicinity of the Life Lake, and even fewer would dare to challenge the intense dragon's might radiating from Lin Yun, Di Tian still chose to keep a close watch.

Bi Ji, on the other hand, gently bit her fingernails, her eyes fixed on the faintly visible golden dragon behind Lin Yun.

'Is that the true form of our Lord? Truly worthy of being the Golden Dragon King. Even the unintentional release of his dragon's might makes one feel an irresistible urge to submit!'

"Di Tian, I haven't heard you talk much about the dragon race. Would you mind telling me more?" Bi Ji asked softly.

Di Tian, who had been intently watching Lin Yun, was slightly taken aback by Bi Ji's sudden question.

"What's there to say about the dragon race?"

By the time the Dragon God War occurred, not only was Bi Ji not around, but even Di Tian had been a mere fledgling. So, naturally, Bi Ji only had a vague understanding of what had happened.

At most, she had heard some rumors, but no one dared to ask Di Tian for the actual details.

Bi Ji had seized this opportunity to ask.

"I'm just curious," Bi Ji muttered.

"You want to know the specifics of the God Realm War, don't you? I don't know much about the details of that war either," Di Tian shook his head.

"When that war broke out, I was just a minor figure on the fringes, with no qualifications to participate. All I know is that my uncles and aunts were nearly wiped out. It was our Lord who single-handedly held off all the gods of the God Realm, buying time for me and our Queen to escape back to Douluo Continent."

As Di Tian recalled the war, a hint of bloodlust flashed in his golden dragon eyes. It was a racial conflict, a hatred that could never be forgotten.

"This is why both our Queen and I trust our Lord. Without him, our situation might have been even worse."

The Golden Dragon King!

After the Dragon God was split, the Golden Dragon King became the undisputed leader of the dragon race. Even when facing the gods of the God Realm alone, he wasn't killed but only sealed in the Godly Punishment Ground—a testament to his ultimate ferocity.

The towering figure of the Golden Dragon King, standing alone against the gods, had left a profound impression on the young and weak Di Tian back then.

So even though Lin Yun had now "reincarnated" as a human, someone Di Tian could crush with a single finger, Di Tian still held the utmost respect for him.

Bi Ji was also deeply impressed.

Just from Di Tian's description, she could catch a glimpse of the colossal war that had taken place and the unparalleled strength of their Lord.

All of this!

Was purely Di Tian and Bi Ji's imagination.

Lin Yun, who was busy absorbing the soul ring, had no idea that Di Tian had turned Bi Ji into his little fangirl with his words. The couple had practically bowed down to him.

But this was a good thing. It would make it easier to command them in the future.

While the two fierce beasts were chatting, Lin Yun's soul ring absorption was nearing its end.

The faint golden dragon phantom behind him suddenly solidified. Its golden eyes glanced down at the purple soul ring on Lin Yun's body, a hint of disdain or something similar flashing in its dragon pupils. It opened its mouth and inhaled.

The soul ring was sucked into the dragon's mouth like a piece of candy.

The dragon let out a satisfied burp before gradually fading back into Lin Yun's body. The golden dragon tattoo on his body also dimmed.

As the dragon disappeared, Lin Yun opened his eyes, and a low roar filled with intense dragon's might erupted from his throat. A luminous and noble purple soul ring rose from beneath his feet, finally settling around his right hand, which had transformed into a dragon claw.

First-ring soul master, achieved!

"Soul power level 15, a bit low," Lin Yun frowned slightly after sensing his soul power level.

Normally, absorbing a 400-year soul ring could push one's soul power to level 11 or even 12. This Behemoth soul ring, which was almost ten times that age, had only raised his level by 5?

Even if extreme attributes compressed soul power, he wasn't at the Soul Elder level yet, where such compression would be necessary!

Unable to figure it out, Lin Yun decided to set the issue aside for now.

By age, he was now nine years old, and having this level of strength was still quite good. In three years, he should be able to easily break through to the Soul Elder level.

As for Soul Ancestor, that would be a stretch. After all, he was a player with extreme attributes, and he also had the destructive attribute, which might or might not count as an extreme attribute. Breaking through to Soul Ancestor by the age of twelve would be a pipe dream.

Perhaps it was the destructive attribute that caused his soul power level to only reach 15?

Di Tian and Bi Ji exchanged glances, neither daring to speak. Lin Yun's furrowed brow made them both uneasy, unsure what had gone wrong.

However, Lin Yun soon relaxed his expression and turned his gaze to them.

"Prison Emperor, I'm hungry. I feel like eating fish tonight."

Lin Yun finally said it. Bi Ji, standing nearby, couldn't hold back her laughter, her strange expression of suppressed amusement leaving Di Tian completely baffled.

The Lord wants to eat fish...

So let him eat?

Why are you laughing so much...

Not understanding what Bi Ji was laughing about, Di Tian became excited when he realized what Lin Yun had called him.

The Lord called me "bro"!

At this moment, Di Tian was filled with a sense of pride, akin to being acknowledged by his idol!

"Yes, My Lord! I will prepare it for you immediately!" Di Tian suppressed his rising smile and responded in a loud, clear voice.
