I, Di Tian, Acknowledge You as the Strongest! Has Yu Fan Gone Mad?
Looking at Bibi Dong's darkened expression,
Second Worship Golden Crocodile said in a quiet tone,
"Because the young master is in the Star Dou Great Forest. The Great Enshrined should be arriving soon."
"I only came to inform you. As for whether you, her mother, will go,"
"that's none of my concern."
He knew this battle was no ordinary affair.
Although a battle between Peerless Douluo was not something ordinary people could take part in,
he had to admit that Bibi Dong had now gained the favor of a bizarre god, and she had the strength to join the fight.
Moreover, the Elder Hall also had seven Titled Douluo. Even if they couldn't be of much help,
they could at least take some of the pressure off them.
That was why he had come.
"Someone, come!"
Bibi Dong could no longer remain calm.
Although she usually pretended not to care about Qian Renxue,
in truth, she cared about Qian Renxue more than anyone.
The only person she hated was the dead Pope, Qian Xunji, not Qian Renxue.
"Your Holiness the Pope!"
Elder Ju and Ghost Elder, the two Titled Douluo, appeared from either side.
They then knelt on one knee.
"Elder Ju, Ghost Elder,"
Bibi Dong said coldly.
"Summon every Soul Master of Soul Saint rank or higher in Spirit Hall. We leave for the Star Dou Great Forest at once."
"I'll make that Demigod who doesn't know life from death understand."
"Until one becomes a god, one is nothing more than an ant."
Her Soul Power Level had already reached Level 96.
She was only one step away from Level 97.
Moreover, the reason Tang Hao had been able to drive her and the two elders back with a single hammer strike during the Soul Master Elite Tournament was ultimately that the Rakshasa God Assessment had suppressed her strength.
She couldn't use her full power during the assessment. Otherwise, even if Bibi Dong had only been Level 96 at the time, without even needing to be Level 97,
(Actually, she was around Level 98 then, and by the time of Jialing Pass, she had firmly reached the peak of Level 99, which was the Demigod level.)
Tang Hao could never have left Spirit Hall alive.
A mere Ring Detonation, an injured Titled Douluo...
Could he truly have been that powerful?
If Tang Hao had been in his prime then, he might have had a chance to drive back Bibi Dong, who also possessed a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, but he clearly wasn't!
And besides...
He hadn't even detonated all nine rings, just the trash rings!
The core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.
The battle in the sky continued, the great black sun and the purple full moon crashing into each other again and again.
Di Tian had already used up nearly forty percent of his Soul Power, yet Yu Fan was still in peak condition.
Even a body made of iron probably couldn't withstand skills being unleashed at such a high frequency.
Yu Fan slashed out with Way of Jin and Che in his left hand.
With his right, he unleashed Dragon Battles in the Wild.
It was practically Unlimited Firepower mode with no cooldown whatsoever.
As time ticked by,
Yu Fan's combat experience also accumulated rapidly. Di Tian made an excellent sparring partner.
"Brother Tang truly is a god among men."
Xue Qinghe watched from below, dumbfounded.
"At this rate..."
"By the time my grandfather arrives, Brother Tang might really have a chance to kill this Ferocious Beast. Who knows how high the quality of the Soul Bone it drops will be?"
"It's just a pity he can't absorb the Soul Ring. Otherwise, it would surely create the strongest Titled Douluo in history. If only Brother Tang could use his physical strength to absorb it."
"I can't even imagine how strong he'd be then."
They hadn't even defeated Di Tian yet. Yu Fan was still being driven back at times, and Xue Qinghe was already fantasizing about how to divide up his Soul Ring and Soul Bone?
Haki Xue, you...
She Long wiped the nonexistent cold sweat from his forehead. He really couldn't drag Xue Qinghe away now, so he could only hide behind a tree and do his best to recover from his injuries.
"Young master, can we please stop watching?"
His face was on the verge of tears.
He truly regretted coming to the Star Dou Great Forest this time.
Next time, he definitely wouldn't come.
Even if he really had to go, he wouldn't go to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Wasn't the nearby Sunset Forest perfectly good?
To hell with the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Clang, clang, clang!!"
The Golden Dragon Spear and the Black Dragon Sword clashed repeatedly, terrifying energy blasting out in every direction. Even the ground and forest beneath the two fighters were torn up.
Finally, Di Tian sent the Golden Dragon Spear flying with a slash, while the Black Dragon Sword was forcibly snapped in two.
One had to know that the Black Dragon Sword was a top-tier weapon forged with Di Tian's own darkness origin fused into it.
It was only because Di Tian was currently suppressed by the Douluo Plane that he couldn't condense divine power.
Otherwise!
The Black Dragon Sword would surely have qualified as a divine weapon!
Yet even a Black Dragon Sword like that...
Had been smashed apart by Yu Fan's Golden Dragon Spear!
"Ha ha ha ha!!"
The more Di Tian fought, the more exhilarating he found it.
At first, he had thought the Soul Master before him was nothing but a nobody he could crush with a flick of his fingers.
But as the battle continued, he realized he had been wrong.
And he had been utterly wrong.
Because Yu Fan was not only no nobody, but a terrifying existence capable of changing the situation across the entire Douluo Continent!
Just as Qian Renxue had said earlier,
Yu Fan had probably gained a god's favor and been granted some kind of inheritance assessment!
More importantly, even he had never heard of that god!
At the very least, that god was a First-Level God, perhaps even one of the Five Great God Kings!
Could it be...
The Asura God King who judges the gods?!
But he doesn't have that kind of ultimate killing aura...
That truly left Di Tian baffled.
"Pfft!!"
Di Tian spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Tens of thousands of years..."
He wiped the blood from his lips. The breaking of the Black Dragon Sword had caused some damage to his origin.
But to him, those were still only minor injuries.
"You are the only human Soul Master..."
"to have wounded me in all these tens of thousands of years!"
Di Tian knew full well that he could only return in defeat today.
Yu Fan's terrifying regeneration and recovery abilities were too shocking.
As long as his heart remained intact, Di Tian would never be able to kill him.
But with the battle having reached this point, even if he retreated, he had to save face.
He couldn't disgrace his own majesty as the Beast God.
"With a body of that caliber, you have my recognition!"
Di Tian shouted furiously.
"I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years!"
"Of everyone I have met in my life, none has been more terrifying than you in terms of physical strength!"
"I, Di Tian, acknowledge you as the strongest!"
The next moment,
Di Tian manifested his true form as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, then charged fiercely at Yu Fan.
He was preparing to make one final, desperate attempt.
If he failed, he could only retreat to the Forbidden Zone of Life.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar shook the skies as the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, several thousand meters long, slammed viciously toward Yu Fan.
This was the most primal form of combat between Soul Beasts, and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King's physical strength was already terrifying beyond compare.
If Yu Fan, who was colliding with him now, had been an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, he would have lost half his life on the spot.
"Very good!"
"You have my recognition too!"
Yu Fan stood proudly amid the clouds and pointed at Di Tian with one hand.
"You can be proud of yourself for forcing me into such a desperate situation!"
He abruptly arched his entire body, gathering all his strength into his fists.
Then he punched both fists fiercely toward Di Tian's body.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Two deafening air blasts thundered out at once.
