However, secretly sneaking into the Lake of Life and stealing a bite of Life Gold was undoubtedly a grave cri. Even though it was blessed with auspicious fortune, aning it wouldn't be executed, it would surely face punishnt.
Huo Yuhao, relying on the Ice Empress's aura, got straight to the point. "Golden Tortoise, you've been caught. You ate sothing you weren't supposed to. Hand it over."
The Golden Tortoise's heart skipped a beat this guy knew everything!
Even though this Beast Lord was unfamiliar, the Golden Tortoise assud he must be a new beast brought in by Di Tian from the outside world.
"Damn it… So I really have been found out!"
Extending its head from its shell, the Golden Tortoise sighed. "Alright, I admit it. I made a mistake all those years ago because of my own greed.
"But even if I wanted to spit out the Life Gold, I couldn't.
"It has tornted for years and has almost rged with .
"So, if you're not in a hurry, I beg you… just wait until I die of old age, and then take it out.
The Life Gold has been draining my life force for so long… I don't have much ti left anyway."
Di Qiu'er's golden pupils shrank.
She knew what Life Gold was.
She also knew that the Lake of Life was essentially a forbidden zone, as the Soul Beast Sovereign rested there.
Though Di Qiu'er had never t the Soul Beast Sovereign, she had learned from Di Tian that it was currently in hibernation, recovering from injuries.
Under normal circumstances, Di Qiu'er would never have been told such classified information.
But due to her unique identity, she was one of the very few who had access to this knowledge.
Now, hearing what the Golden Tortoise had done, she finally connected the dots.
"So this fool actually had the guts to steal from the Soul Beast Sovereign?!"
However, what puzzled her was…
"Isn't this Huo Yuhao's first ti seeing this soul beast?
"If he only relied on his ability to glimpse the future to find it… then isn't his power terrifyingly accurate?!"
She fell into deep thought.
Although Di Qiu'er could also use fate's power to see glimpses of the future, those glimpses were disjointed re fragnts with no context.
It was as if she could only see a still painting, whereas Huo Yuhao could watch the entire process of the painting being created.
"Wait… if Huo Yuhao gained so of my fate's power and can see glimpses of the future, then what does my own fate's power count as?"
For the first ti, Di Qiu'er began to question her own existence.
"If he's the real Fate Beast… then what am I?"
But Huo Yuhao wasn't paying attention to her confusion.
His focus was locked onto the Golden Tortoise.
"This thing was lucky," he thought.
"The Silver Dragon King must have been in deep sleep back then.
"Otherwise, it would've never gotten away with stealing Life Gold and escaping."
Huo Yuhao smiled coldly. "You're a Golden Tortoise. Even if your lifespan is draining, you can still live for a long ti. "I don't have ti to wait."But don't worry I have a solution to your problem.
"And no, it doesn't involve killing you."
The Golden Tortoise's expression turned suspicious.
"Beast Lord… You can solve my problem?"
It had tried everything to get rid of the Life Gold in its body but failed.
There was no way it could carve itself open just to remove it.
So it didn't trust Huo Yuhao's words.
"Of course! But you can't run away, because removing the Life Gold will take so ti."
Then, a green light erged from Huo Yuhao's forehead, forming the Blade of Life's Vigilance, which hovered midair.
Since the blade was made of Life Gold, it naturally drew in the Life Gold from the Golden Tortoise's body.
As a result, a surge of life energy was pulled toward Huo Yuhao.
Even Di Qiu'er, standing beside him, felt incredibly refreshed.
After all, pure life energy was beneficial to all living creatures.
She had drunk the waters of the Lake of Life before, but those waters though rich in life force were just water infused with Life Gold's essence.
This, however, was raw, concentrated life energy.
At that mont, a tallic clank echoed as a golden fragnt flew out of the Golden Tortoise's mouth, shooting toward Huo Yuhao's Blade of Life's Vigilance.
As it rged with the blade, the weapon grew in size, transforming into a short sword.
The Golden Tortoise was stunned. **"Beast Lord… you actually removed it!
"This is wonderful! I'm finally free from that tornt!"
Waves of pure life energy rippled outward from the blade, filling the surroundings.
Huo Yuhao absorbed it, feeling his physical strength improve significantly.
For soul masters, a stronger body ant a greater foundation for cultivation.
But more importantly
The Blade of Life's Vigilance had been enhanced.
It was bigger and held more life energy than before.
anwhile, in Huo Yuhao's spiritual sea, Electrolux continued his work.
He was redirecting the external life energy into Huo Yuhao's ntal domain.
There, all his soul spirits beca more tangible and solidified.
The Silver Shadow Beast looked overjoyed.
Though… given its ugly appearance, even its joyful expression was unsettling.
The Silver Jade Serpent, anwhile, hissed happily.
Sky Dream Iceworm floated toward the Ice Empress, hands cupping a condensed orb of life energy.
"Bing , Bing! I saved so of the best for you!
"I compressed it down this life energy is amazing! Hurry and absorb it!"**
The Ice Empress, standing beside the Snow Empress, shot him an indifferent glance.
Then she shook her head.
"No need. There's plenty of life energy pouring in.
"I don't need this little bit."
"That won't do!" Sky Dream's expression turned serious.
"Ice, if you don't take this, I'll be worried!
"Just accept it already!"
The Ice Empress stared at him.
She was about to beat him up, but then… she rembered what he'd said before:
"Hitting ans love, scolding ans affection."
So, instead of fighting, she simply ignored him and continued absorbing life energy.
Sky Dream panicked. **"Ice, don't ignore !
"I'd rather you hit ! Yell at ! Just don't ignore !"**
The Ice Empress closed her eyes, refusing to respond.
anwhile, the Snow Empress found it highly amusing.
She had never seen the Ice Empress handle Sky Dream like this before.
At the sa ti, Wang Dong (Tang San) was flying toward the Star Dou Forest.
But even though he was impatient, he didn't dare use his divine power to transport Wang Dong instantly.
Why?
Because the God of Destruction was still watching him from the Divine Realm.
If he did anything too obvious, he'd be caught red handed.
