The lake shore has no sharp edges, only soft meadows and moss gently embracing the lake water.
In the shallow waters, waterbirds are pecking at plankton, their long, slender webbed feet gliding across the surface, creating ripples that slowly spread outwards. Sunlight filters through the clear lake water, revealing schools of small fish darting among the water plants, their silver scales occasionally reflecting shimmering light like scattered stars.
The wind was so light as it swept across the lake that it barely stirred up a thin layer of ripples, carrying the fresh scent of aquatic plants and the damp smell of earth.
Wildflowers along the lake spread out along the terrain, including purple irises and yellow dandelions. Occasionally, butterflies would land on the flowers, and the frequency of their wings flapping would inexplicably match the rhythm of the lake's ripples.
As dusk falls, the setting sun paints the lake water a warm gold. Birds returning to their nests skim across the surface, their wings occasionally touching the water, shaking off a few warm droplets that fall back into the lake, creating new, tiny splashes of life.
Although Tuoba Yan and his companions had seen many beautiful landscapes, they were still shocked by the sight before them.
"What a beautiful place!"
"Apart from Sea God Island, it's rare to see such a beautiful place!"
"This place is perfect for retirement!"
Xie Yue, Hu Liena, Yan, and the others couldn't help but be captivated by the surroundings.
Tuoba Yan smiled and said, "We're not here to retire. We've come prepared. Do you know what you're going to do next?"
Xie Yue and his companions exchanged glances, then Xie Yue nodded confidently and said, "Don't worry, leave it to us."
"Yes, although we're not as perverted as you, we're not just for show either." Zhang Ping smiled gently, her smile was incredibly charming.
"Is it really appropriate to call him a pervert?" Hu Liena asked her best friend Zhang Ping meaningfully.
"He has never lost a game. Looking across the entire Soul Master world, whose talent is as freakish as his?" Zhang Ping said, then looked at Hu Liena and asked, "Sister Nana, are you running a fever?"
As Zhang Ping spoke, she reached out and touched Hu Liena's forehead.
Hu Liena was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Ping whispered, "You don't have a fever, but why are you acting so horny? You don't happen to like him, do you?"
As they were talking, Zhang Ping gently nudged Hu Liena's shoulder with her own.
Hu Liena paused, looking cautiously at Tuoba Yan. The latter showed no change in emotion, but a hint of disappointment flickered in Hu Liena's eyes. Her face flushed slightly as she said, "Don't talk nonsense, I'm just stating the facts."
Women understand women best.
Zhang Ping noticed the subtle changes in Hu Liena's expression.
Zhang Ping was taken aback, thinking to herself, "Sister Nana really has feelings for him!"
While Hu Liena and Zhang Ping were chatting, Tuoba Yan had already reached the lakeside and instructed his companions behind him, "I'm about to begin!"
"Um!"
Xie Yue and his group were poised to strike.
Tuoba Yan opened his mouth and shouted, "Silver Dragon King, come out and greet me!"
His voice, imbued with soul power, was highly penetrating; it could be heard even from the bottom of the lake.
One second later, the lake remained completely still.
Two seconds later, the lake remained completely still.
A dozen seconds passed, and a gentle breeze began to blow. Nothing else responded to Tuoba Yan except the wind.
Tuoba Yan grinned and said, "You think I can't do anything to you just because you're hiding at the bottom of the lake?"
"Bo Saixi's Domain!"
With a thought, Tuoba Yan's pupils turned golden. A blue light shone within his golden pupils.
Instantly, a blue light wave spread outwards from Tuoba Yan as the center.
At the same time, Tuoba Yan's Holy Lord Martial Soul possessed him. The Monkey Talisman lit up.
Instantly, ripples spread across the lake.
The sound of rushing water filled the air, and a huge creature poked its head out of the lake.
It has a bull's head and a snake's body. The bull's head is at least four meters in diameter, and its large eyes, like two lanterns, shine brightly. It is connected to a huge snake body that is blackish-blue and several times thicker than a water vat.
It was none other than the Azure Bull Python, the king of the forest.
The Azure Bull Python's eyes blazed with fury as it cried out, "Er Ming's aura... and Xiao Wu's aura too!"
Erming, Titan Ape.
Xiao Wu, the Soft-Boned Rabbit.
They all had one thing in common: they had been killed by Tuoba Yan. Tuoba Yan obtained their soul rings.
Among the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, Da Ming, Er Ming, and Xiao Wu have the best relationship.
"Human, it was you who killed Erming and Xiaowu!"
Lightning crackled around the Azure Bull Python's body. In an instant, the lake water changed.
Powerful arcs of electricity danced across the surface of the lake.
"Thunder Pool Domain!"
A bolt of silver lightning spread outwards from the Azure Bull Python as its center.
Not only in Leichi, but also on the shore, there were electric arcs moving around.
Xie Yue was taken aback and whispered, "This is a domain, it has a paralyzing effect, and movement ability is weakened!"
Thunder Pool Domain, the domain of the Azure Bull Python. Within this domain, everyone's movement speed is reduced by 30%. At the same time, the power of all of the Azure Bull Python's soul skills increases by 30%.
Tuoba Yan, who was familiar with the Azure Bull Python's combat abilities, also knew that the Thunder Pool Domain possessed the ability to sense things. Once inside the Thunder Pool Domain, the Azure Bull Python would swiftly detect the movement of all living beings.
"Lightning is a pretty good soul skill. I'll make it the first soul ring for my Golden Eye Martial Soul!" Tuoba Yan said.
The Azure Bull Python ignored Tuoba Yan's words. Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't attack humans. Because it disdained them. After all, it was the Azure Bull Python, the king of the forest, and it had its pride. Unless it couldn't resist...
Once, a Soul Master accidentally entered the Lake of Life and offended the Azure Bull Python.
As a result, the Azure Bull Python, mindful of the difficulty the weak Soul Master faced in his cultivation, allowed him to leave.
Afterwards, the Azure Bull Python encountered Tang Hao. Er Ming was defeated by Tang Hao. Tang Hao was no ordinary person; the Azure Bull Python intervened and defeated him.
This is the second time in the life of the Azure Bull Python that it has attacked humans.
"You dared to kill Erming and Xiaowu, you are unforgivable!"
"Azure Sluggish Divine Claw!"
A silver claw mark, as large as a mountain, surged toward Tuoba Yan like a thunderbolt.
"Overlord Fist!"
Tuoba Yan threw a punch, meeting the divine claw's punch head-on. Fist and claw collided, and the claw imprint was shattered in an instant. The residual force of the energy fist imprint landed on the Azure Bull Python.
With a "thud," the Azure Bull Python fell into the water, splashing up a huge column of water.
What appeared to be a simple punch actually utilized the immense divine power of the Ox Talisman.
In their first clash, the difference in strength between the two powerful figures was immediately apparent.
However, the Azure Bull Python had gone berserk and was determined to avenge Erming and Xiaowu.
"Boom!"
The Azure Bull Python's entire body shone with a silver light. In an instant, a large dark cloud appeared above Tuoba Yan's head. Within the cloud, silver light bloomed.
