Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Three-Eyed Golden Lion King Wang Qiu’er and Emerald Swan Bi Ji
"I've transformed into a human!"
"I've transformed into a human!"
"Hahaha, thank you, my lord, for this gift!"
After consuming the Transformation Pill, the Dark Gold Terror Claw Bear Lord joyously realized that not only had he fully taken on human form, but he had also retained his cultivation and strength, along with the ability to revert to his original beast form at will. He was ecstatic.
This Transformation Pill was truly miraculous!
At this moment, his reverence and admiration for Zhou Yi surged like an endless river, boundless and unyielding.
Such a divine pill could only have been created by someone like Zhou Yi!
Before long, the Bear Lord noticed the Scarlet King, who had also transformed into human form. The two exchanged glances, their faces radiating unabashed delight.
Nearby, the Emerald Swan Bi Ji and the Tree Monster King Yao Ling—summoned by Di Tian—watched with envy, their curiosity toward the mysterious Zhou Yi deepening.
Who could have imagined that in such a short time, the ruler of soul beasts had changed hands?
From the Silver Dragon King to Zhou Yi.
Soon enough, Di Tian and Gu Yuena arrived, having also fully transformed after consuming Transformation Pills. They brought along the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and the Skydream Ice Worm.
"Pay respects to the Silver Dragon King!"
The Bear Lord and others quickly bowed toward Gu Yuena.
Although Zhou Yi had replaced Gu Yuena as the ruler of soul beasts, her status remained exceptionally high—second only to Zhou Yi himself.
"Rise!"
"Follow me to meet the lord!" Gu Yuena said coolly.
Earlier, Zhou Yi had instructed them to consume the Transformation Pills and bring Bi Ji and the other powerful beasts to meet him. Now that they had done so, Gu Yuena gathered everyone for their audience.
It had been five or six hours since Zhou Yi left with Zi Ji.
Bi Ji, Yao Ling, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and the Skydream Ice Worm—still trembling in uncertainty—followed Gu Yuena's group toward Zhou Yi.
"Stop!"
Before they could approach, Gu Yuena suddenly furrowed her brow, raising a hand to halt them before retreating several steps.
Even so, the group faintly heard a woman's pained cries from ahead.
The Skydream Ice Worm's small, curious eyes flickered with fear as it speculated nervously:
"This sound is so agonizing. Could that terrifying new beast be feeding?"
"Am I going to be eaten alive?"
The more the Skydream Ice Worm thought about it, the more terrified it became. It wanted to flee, but the presence of the powerful beings around it left no room for escape.
The Scarlet King, Bear Lord, Yao Ling, Bi Ji, Di Tian, Gu Yuena...
Every one of them was a fearsome existence far beyond its capabilities.
Even though it was a million-year soul beast, its combat ability was laughably weak.
"Lord Zhou Yi truly is unmatched!"
The Bear Lord recalled how Zhou Yi had once lifted him effortlessly and smashed him into the ground with overwhelming force. He couldn't help but feel a few moments of silent pity for Zi Ji.
"I wonder if she can withstand the lord's... intensity?"
Listening to the increasingly strained cries from deeper within, Gu Yuena's long legs involuntarily tensed as jealousy swirled in her heart.
"Ah..."
After what felt like an eternity, Zi Ji's voice suddenly reached a piercing climax, sharp and almost unbearable.
It was a scream, a cry, a release of all her strength.
Then, silence.
Moments later, Zhou Yi's voice rang out:
"Come in."
"Yes, my lord!"
Gu Yuena led the group swiftly forward.
The air was thick with the fragrant scent of Osmanthus, mingling with the forest's natural aroma.
They saw Zi Ji sprawled across Zhou Yi's lap. Her face, exquisite and breathtakingly beautiful, was flushed crimson, her expression filled with an intoxicating allure.
Her eyes were closed, tears streaking her cheeks, as if she had been overwhelmed.
Her delicate lips parted slightly, trembling as though she were a drowning fish gasping for air.
It was unclear whether she had passed out or fallen asleep.
"Pay respects to the lord!"
Gu Yuena and the others knelt in unison.
Zhou Yi's gaze swept over the group.
Gu Yuena and Di Tian had not changed much, but the Scarlet King had transformed into a robust man clad in red, exuding ferocity.
The Bear Lord, now a muscular figure in dark gold, radiated raw power. His towering frame seemed even more intimidating than Er Ming's, brimming with strength and an oppressive presence.
"With that imposing build and aura, it'd be a shame not to make him a bodyguard," Zhou Yi thought to himself.
After briefly observing them, his gaze shifted to another figure—a striking emerald presence.
A stunning woman with long, flowing green hair cascading down her back stood before him. Her emerald eyes sparkled with life, perfectly matching her luxuriant tresses.
Her slim figure was accentuated by a flowing green dress that outlined her form beautifully. Her snow-white arms, bare and delicate, extended gracefully.
Most extraordinary were the wings on her back, like flawless emerald gemstones, each feather vibrant and dazzling, exuding pure vitality. She seemed like a goddess of nature, captivating and otherworldly.
"The Emerald Swan, Bi Ji!"
Zhou Yi's focused gaze made Bi Ji feel immense pressure. She respectfully lowered her head and said,
"Bi Ji pays respects to the lord."
"Mm."
Zhou Yi nodded slightly.
The Emerald Swan, known for her gentleness and mastery of healing, was a rarity among soul beasts. Though weak in combat, her race's sheer scarcity made her invaluable.
Among soul beasts, the Emerald Swan was so rare it was on the brink of extinction. The natural life energy they embodied made them a coveted delicacy for other creatures.
For Bi Ji to have survived to adulthood was a stroke of fortune.
After surveying Bi Ji, Zhou Yi turned to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
This majestic creature was cloaked in golden fur, its entire body appearing like translucent crystal with a texture that defied comprehension.
Its form resembled that of a lion, but with dragon-like claws; each of its four limbs rested on golden flames.
Its muzzle was slightly longer than that of typical feline Soul Beasts, and beneath its fur were intricate golden scales.
Aside from its two normal eyes, a third vertical pupil was centered on its forehead. The normal eyes glowed with golden light, while the vertical pupil radiated an eerie crimson hue, tinged with a mysterious, otherworldly quality.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an emperor among auspicious beasts, was born with intelligence on par with humans. Wherever it resided, the Soul Beasts in the area experienced accelerated growth rates—doubling their normal progression. Furthermore, the chances of a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast breaking through bottlenecks were doubled in its presence.
For Soul Beasts, its existence was nothing short of a blessing.
In the end, however, it was sacrificed to Huo Yuhao, serving as a contribution to Tang San's family.
Truly pitiable.
Meanwhile, Wang Qiu'er, with her three eyes gleaming with curiosity, stole furtive glances at Zhou Yi.
"The Lord is so handsome!" she thought.
Yet when her gaze met Zhou Yi's, she immediately lowered her head in bashful embarrassment.
Zhou Yi turned his attention to Tian Meng, the Skydream Ice Worm.
It resembled an enlarged silkworm, with a round, plump head and a body that exuded a fleshy, jade-like texture. Its diameter exceeded a meter, and it stretched over seven meters in length.
Its entire body shimmered with a pristine white jade hue, its translucent exterior radiating shifting light patterns beneath its surface. Near its head, a pair of small, golden, glittering eyes gleamed with intelligence.
Beginning half a meter from its head, golden rings encircled its body at intervals, forming a total of ten intricate patterns from head to tail.
"Tian Meng pays respects to the Lord! To witness the Lord's unparalleled divine presence today is a glory that fills me with awe and reverence, as boundless as the surging rivers…"
As Zhou Yi's gaze fell upon him, Tian Meng prostrated himself on the ground, showering Zhou Yi with shameless flattery in a desperate bid to curry favor, embodying the ultimate sycophant.
It had no other choice.
Its fate and survival hinged entirely on Zhou Yi's whims.
Casting a faint glance at Tian Meng and sweeping his gaze across the Myriad Demon King, Zhou Yi withdrew four Transformation Pills, placing them before Tian Meng, the Myriad Demon King, Bi Ji, and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Wang Qiu'er.
"Since you have all submitted to me, I will treat you equally. These Transformation Pills are my gift to you!" Zhou Yi declared.
"Thank you, my Lord, for your benevolence! We vow to serve you loyally, facing fire and death without hesitation!"
Tian Meng was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming as he fervently swore allegiance.
For Tian Meng, receiving the Transformation Pill signified freedom from its humiliating existence as a "meat worm." Its survival was now assured.
Henceforth, it was one of Zhou Yi's subordinates.
As long as it clung tightly to Zhou Yi, ensuring his favor, even the most ferocious Soul Beasts wouldn't dare to bully it again! Hmph!
Bi Ji, the Myriad Demon King, and Wang Qiu'er expressed their gratitude with equal enthusiasm.
The miraculous properties of the Transformation Pill were well known to them.
No Soul Beast could resist its allure.
Soul Beasts were inherently incapable of becoming deities. Only by transforming into human form did they have a chance to ascend.
However, transformation came with the loss of all prior cultivation, forcing them to start anew.
Few Soul Beasts possessed the resolve to make such a sacrifice.
But the Transformation Pill perfectly resolved this dilemma.
Not only could it enable them to assume human form, but it also allowed them to retain their full strength, granting them the ability to shift seamlessly between human and original forms.
It was nothing short of miraculous.
Zhou Yi's generosity stemmed from a recent reward he had received:
"Reward 1: A vial of Transformation Pills (10 pills)."
"Reward 2: A million-year Soul Ring (random Soul Skill)."
