Background / History
Service to the Dragon Kings
Di Tian personally received the Dragon God Claw technique from the Dragon God. He later served the Silver Dragon King and guarded the Forbidden Zone of Life, where she recuperated beneath its lake. Despite his long life, he had never left the Star Dou Great Forest, though he knew of Spirit Hall and Sea God Island 32 34 35.
Before his confrontation with Yu Fan, Di Tian captured the million-year Sky Dream Ice Silkworm in the Far North, knocking him unconscious with one slap. He brought the silkworm to the forest’s core so the Ferocious Beasts could absorb his origin power and cultivate more rapidly. During this period, Xiong Jun rebelled and injured Di Tian’s dragon claw, but Di Tian subdued him 32 41.
Attempt to Recover the Golden Dragon King’s Remains
When the Golden Dragon King’s presence vanished, Di Tian awakened and recognized that he had fallen. The Silver Dragon King ordered him to retrieve the remains at any cost. Di Tian tore through space and found Yu Fan carrying the Golden Dragon Spear, which he identified as both the remains and a divine artifact 32 33.
Di Tian demanded the spear and slapped aside She Long when the latter intervened. He initially offered to spare Yu Fan and Xue Qinghe if they surrendered it, partly to avoid provoking a war with powerful human factions. Negotiations failed even after Xue Qinghe revealed her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul and connection to Spirit Hall 33 34.
Yu Fan survived Di Tian’s Dragon God Claw through rapid regeneration and repeatedly countered him with the Golden Dragon Spear. Their weapon clashes eventually broke Di Tian’s Black Dragon Sword, injuring his origin. Di Tian acknowledged Yu Fan’s extraordinary physical strength, transformed into his dragon body, and continued fighting despite wounds that included a shattered reverse scale 35 36 38 39.
Spirit Hall Standoff
Qian Daoliu’s arrival interrupted the duel. His Angel Domain weakened Di Tian and prevented his escape, while Spirit Hall’s reinforcements surrounded him to claim his Soul Ring and Soul Bones. The Silver Dragon King intervened, and the other Ferocious Beasts emerged to defend him; Bi Ji rapidly healed his injuries 39 40.
When Spirit Hall demanded compensation, Bi Ji offered her life in exchange for Di Tian’s. He refused, offered to capture a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast instead, and declared himself willing to fight rather than surrender her. Yu Fan negotiated a price of two such beasts before Zi Ji suggested using the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm 41.
Di Tian proposed exchanging the silkworm for the Golden Dragon Spear. Qian Daoliu accepted the silkworm as compensation for the incident involving Qian Renxue, unaware that it could not produce a Soul Bone and that its ring would be dangerous to absorb. Di Tian fetched the captive and ordered Spirit Hall to leave, but did not recover the spear 42 43 46.
Afterward, Di Tian apologized to the Silver Dragon King for his failure. She absolved him of blame, acknowledged that Yu Fan had become too powerful for them to reclaim the remains immediately, and resolved to retrieve the spear herself once her injuries improved 46.
Appearance
Di Tian possesses an enormous dragon body and a humanoid form resembling a handsome middle-aged man 32 33.
- Dragon form: Several thousand meters long, with obsidian-like scales bearing patterns through which golden power appears to flow 32.
- Eyes: His awakening reveals three golden vertical pupils; his human form retains golden eyes 32 33.
- Human stature: Over eight chi tall, with thin black wings and an imposing royal bearing 33.
- Aura: Surrounded by vast quantities of ultimate-darkness Soul Power 32 33.
Personality
Di Tian is proud of his standing as Beast God and expects respectful treatment. Yu Fan’s insults repeatedly provoke him, and their duel eventually becomes a struggle to preserve his dignity rather than merely fulfill the Silver Dragon King’s orders. Nevertheless, he can acknowledge an opponent’s strength, openly recognizing Yu Fan after initially dismissing him 35 38 39.
His loyalty to the Silver Dragon King is absolute in matters concerning her authority and the Golden Dragon King’s remains. He becomes especially furious when Yu Fan insults her. His refusal to sacrifice Bi Ji also shows that he will risk his own life rather than accept the loss of a valued ally 32 36 41.
Di Tian combines aggression with political caution and opportunism. He initially avoids killing Spirit Hall’s protected heirs because of the danger of war, then exploits Qian Daoliu’s incomplete knowledge of the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to negotiate compensation on favorable terms 33 42.
Abilities & Skills
Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Physique
Di Tian’s physical strength and durability allow him to fight at the level of the continent’s Peerless Douluo 33.
- Sends She Long flying over a thousand meters with a single slap despite his active Martial Soul Avatar 33.
- Fights Yu Fan for several hundred rounds in dragon form; without the Golden Dragon Spear’s assistance, Yu Fan cannot suppress him through strength alone 39.
- Continues fighting after his reverse scale is shattered, though his accumulated injuries do not regenerate like Yu Fan’s 39.
Ultimate Darkness
Di Tian commands ultimate-darkness Soul Power for large-scale attacks and weapon techniques 32 33.
- Creates a giant dark palm covering hundreds of meters; Yu Fan counters it with a Serious Punch 33 34.
- Uses darkness and destruction laws to form Dragon God Claw 36.
- Faces restrictions from the Douluo Plane that prevent him from freely condensing divine power 38.
Eternal Night Dragon Domain
His domain blankets the battlefield in purple-black night beneath a black sun and purple full moon, making the surrounding space sluggish 35.
- Sun and Moon Radiance: Collides the sun and moon to create suction and a crushing, grinding force comparable to a Peerless Douluo’s ninth Soul Skill 35.
- Can force open space to help him evade attacks while under the Golden Dragon Spear’s suppression 35.
- Is breached by Qian Daoliu’s Angel Domain when Di Tian is already injured and depleted 39 40.
Dragon God Claw
Di Tian’s strongest trump card was personally taught to him by the Dragon God and rivals a divine skill despite planar suppression 35 36.
- Tears away half of Yu Fan’s body in one strike 35.
- Consumes substantial Soul Power, leaving Di Tian below peak condition afterward 36.
- Fails to kill Yu Fan because his surviving heart allows him to regenerate 36 38.
World-Destroying Dragon Emperor Break
Di Tian channels his power into the Black Dragon Sword and releases concentrated dark sword Qi 36.
- Leaves a sword scar nearly a thousand meters long and a chasm dozens of meters deep 36.
- Possesses piercing damage capable of destroying both body and soul; even a level 98 Super Douluo could not withstand it 36.
- Does not defeat Yu Fan, who blocks most of the attack with the Golden Dragon Spear 36.
Spatial Travel and Spiritual Perception
- Spatial rifts: Tears open space to travel between the Forbidden Zone of Life and the battlefield 32 33 42 43.
- Spiritual scanning: Repeatedly surveys the area and distinguishes Yu Fan’s exceptional physical strength from his much weaker Soul Power fluctuations 33.
- Combat analysis: Identifies limitations in the King Engine’s ability to rapidly repair Yu Fan’s accumulating injuries 39.
Weaknesses and Counters
- Golden Dragon Spear: Its Dragon God presence severely suppresses his attributes, while its destructive power can penetrate his defenses and inflict grave wounds 35.
- Artifact rejection: The Golden Dragon King’s lingering consciousness rejects him when he attempts to seize the spear 36.
- Attrition: His Soul Power and injuries accumulate during prolonged combat, unlike Yu Fan’s repeated recovery to peak condition 36 38 39.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Black Dragon Sword — Life-bound weapon forged from Di Tian’s darkness origin. Its corrosive power can diminish an opponent’s Soul Power, especially within his domain. The Golden Dragon Spear breaks it, causing minor damage to his origin. Planar restrictions prevent it from attaining divine-weapon status 36 38.
Relationships
- Silver Dragon King — Master. Di Tian guards her refuge, obeys her retrieval order, and defends her honor. She intervenes to prevent his death and later excuses his failure 32 36 40 46.
- Dragon God — Personally taught Di Tian Dragon God Claw 35.
- Yu Fan — Enemy over possession of the Golden Dragon Spear. Their duel earns Di Tian’s respect but ends without his obtaining the weapon 33 38 46.
- Bi Ji — Fellow Ferocious Beast and healer. She offers her life to save him; he refuses to surrender her 40 41.
- Xiong Jun — Defiant subordinate who previously injured his claw. Despite their conflict, Xiong Jun rushes to defend him against Spirit Hall 32 40.
- Zi Ji — Fellow Ferocious Beast who proposes handing over the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm to settle the standoff 41.
- Sky Dream Ice Silkworm — Captive exploited as a cultivation resource, then surrendered to Spirit Hall as compensation 32 41 42 43.
- Qian Daoliu — Human adversary who traps him with Angel Domain and demands compensation; Di Tian exploits his misunderstanding of the silkworm’s value 39 40 42.
- Qian Renxue / Xue Qinghe — Attempts to negotiate for Yu Fan before summoning Qian Daoliu and demanding Di Tian’s death 34 35 39.
