Chapter 136: Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur
Yu Tianyun subconsciously released his spiritual power, trying to sense that mysterious emotion.
As his spiritual power spread outward like rippling water, he clearly felt the surrounding blue‑silver grass as if passionately calling to him, and the sensation grew increasingly clear and intense.
He could even discern the emotion of each individual blue‑silver grass.
Gradually, the aura of the blue‑silver grass he sensed became more vast and majestic, yet at the same time his brows involuntarily knit together.
Because he keenly noticed that the emotions conveyed by the blue‑silver grass were quite peculiar.
That emotion, to Yu Tianyun, was simply that he felt like a proud father!
Indeed, he felt the blue‑silver grass as if they were his own children, cheerfully recounting their individual growth histories to him, their "father".
Each blue‑silver grass in this area emitted a faint spiritual ripple; though weak individually, the sheer number was massive. The countless grass patches linked together, forming an enormous spiritual magnetic field that merged perfectly with Yu Tianyun's spiritual power.
This directly caused Yu Tianyun's spiritual perception range to increase geometrically, starting from an initial ten thousand meters and continuously expanding.
Each blue‑silver grass seemed to become a high‑definition surveillance camera, while Yu Tianyun himself became the central control room overseeing everything!
At this moment, using the powerful spiritual magnetic field built by the blue‑silver grass, Yu Tianyun could detect and sense to an astonishing extent.
This delighted him; with this spiritual magnetic field, he could almost scrutinize more than half of the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
He even saw at that moment Tianqing Bull Python Daming lazily napping in the Lake of Life, while Titan Giant Ape Erming, two hundred meters from the lake's shore, was spreading its legs and grinding incessantly against a towering tree…
Yu Tianyun hurriedly shifted his attention elsewhere, refusing to watch that eye‑burning scene.
These blue‑silver grass let him sense other creatures, yet no one could notice being spied upon; after all, who would pay attention to those feeble grass blades? At that moment, he suddenly felt a familiar aura in a distant place, identical to the aura of these blue‑silver grass, though it appeared faint due to the great distance.
"Which direction leads to the Tian Dou Empire! Could it be…"
Yu Tianyun already guessed what that place was, but he did not dwell on it, instead continuing to use the blue‑silver grass's spiritual magnetic field to fully search for a Soul Beast suitable for Liu Erlong.
"After Liu Erlong absorbs the Soul Ring, we'll head there," Yu Tianyun thought to himself.
This accidental linking of his spiritual power with the blue‑silver grass boosted his search efficiency by countless times; in the future, finding suitable Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest will be far easier.
Before long, as a flood of information surged into his mind, Yu Tianyun finally discovered several Soul Beasts suitable for Liu Erlong.
Among them were a 75,000‑year‑old Crimson Flame Demon Lizard, an 80,000‑year‑old Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur, and an 89,000‑year‑old Crimson Flame Fire Dragon.
"All three Soul Beasts suit Liu Erlong, but the Crimson Flame Fire Dragon has the richest dragon blood, though its age is high and Liu Erlong might not endure it—let's discard that. Choose the 80,000‑year‑old Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur! Its Soul Ring should be easy for Liu Erlong to absorb, and its dragon blood is only slightly less potent than the Crimson Flame Fire Dragon's."
Yu Tianyun briefly pondered in his mind and quickly settled on the target.
As for the Crimson Flame Demon Lizard, he never considered it, because both its dragon‑blood concentration and flame ability were far inferior to the other two Soul Beasts.
Had the other two Soul Beasts not existed, Yu Tianyun might have chosen it without hesitation, but now a better option is available.
Since the target was chosen, Yu Tianyun decided to launch the hunt immediately.
He rose to his feet, turned to Liu Erlong and said, "Erlong, I already know where the Soul Beast suitable for you is!"
"Really?"
Liu Erlong heard this and instantly broke into a delighted smile.
Even with Yu Tianyun's company, searching for Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest felt as pleasant as a vacation, and being able to obtain a Soul Ring early made them naturally overjoyed.
"Hmm, about fifty li to the right‑front, there is an 80,000‑year‑old Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur," Yu Tianyun said with a smile, pointing in that direction.
"Great! I can finally advance to Soul Fighter! But…" Liu Erlong, still excited, had a hint of doubt in his eyes; after a brief pause, he asked, "Yu Tianyun, how did you know?" Ye Lingling also stared curiously at Yu Tianyun, for it was utterly incomprehensible how he could know what Soul Beast lay fifty li away.
Yu Tianyun gave a slight smile and briefly explained to the two women, "Because my affinity with the countless blue‑silver grass is extremely high, after linking my spiritual power with them…"
After Yu Tianyun finished his explanation, the two women understood.
Then they set off swiftly.
Along the way, relying on the expanded spiritual perception granted by the blue‑silver grass, Yu Tianyun deftly avoided all unnecessary trouble.
Their pace was extremely fast; in the time it takes a single incense stick to burn, they reached the destination.
It was a small magma lake, the pungent smell of sulfur overwhelming, rolling heat waves spreading everywhere as if to scorch everything to ash.
The lake's surface periodically birthed massive bubbles that burst with a "puff", splashing magma several feet high. The surrounding rocks were baked to a glowing red, as if they would melt into scorching liquid any moment.
Yu Tianyun knew the Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur was hidden at the lake's center; he turned to Liu Erlong and said, "Erlong, stay here and watch Lingling; I'll go eliminate that Soul Beast."
"Alright, don't worry, you be careful too!" Liu Erlong nodded.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Yu Tianyun shot toward the lake's center like an arrow released from a bow.
During the sprint, his body underwent astonishing changes.
His entire body became covered with fine blue‑purple dragon scales, whose surfaces were sheathed in a smooth, mirror‑like glaze that glimmered with a cold light, as if carved from solid ice.
A pair of massive bone wings sprouted from his back, each wing cloaked in transparent ice crystals, the edges flickering with a pale blue flame, a fusion of ice and fire. Moreover, each wing bore five sharp bone spines; upon close inspection, the spines and wings displayed dark‑purple veins.
A sturdy yet slender blue‑black dragon tail quietly grew from his back. Its tip was as sharp as a spear, unmistakably razor‑sharp, and it shimmered with a mysterious dim light, as if containing spatial force that warped surrounding illumination.
One of his short hairs lengthened slightly and stood upward, turning ice‑blue; within the strands seemed to flow electric currents, and a pair of small yet powerful crystal‑like dragon horns sprouted on his forehead.
This was Yu Tianyun directly performing Complete Dragon Transformation, and simultaneously five jet‑black Soul Rings swirled around his body.
Unlike before, these Soul Rings did not circle his feet but rather Entanglement on his limbs!
One Soul Ring spun and pulsed on each arm and each leg, while the final Soul Ring circled his waist.
This is the peculiarity of Soul Rings after Dragon Transformation! "Aong~" a lofty dragon roar resonated from Yu Tianyun's mouth.
The dragon roar struck like a heavy hammer, violently pounding the lake's center, causing ripples to spread across the previously calm magma surface.
The Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur was lurking directly beneath the lake's surface; Yu Tianyun's action was meant to enrage it and draw it out.
Sure enough, the next instant, a deep dragon roar echoed from the magma lake.
But that dragon roar gave Yu Tianyun the impression of a deficiency in middle Qi and a depletion of kidney Qi.
A complex smile curled at Yu Tianyun's mouth, mixing contempt with unwillingness.
The contempt stemmed from the Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur evidently sensing Yu Tianyun's dragon‑blood lineage far denser than its own, thus feeling fear, its very roar betraying a fierce yet timid tone.
The unwillingness arose because dragon bloodline ranks are extremely strict; higher‑level blood suppresses lower‑level blood greatly. If he later meets the Silver Dragon King, he might also become like this Crimson Blood Tyrannosaur… perhaps even more pitiable.
Nonetheless, he was not overly worried, firmly believing that as long as he kept growing stronger, his bloodline would eventually become the most noble existence!
