Ferocious Beasts Condense Soul Cores, Tian Meng Is Refined

Much later.

Another human arrived in the Sunset Forest. After swallowing Xiong Jun's own vital blood essence and completing his Martial Soul Mutation, this person returned to Black Dragon Mountain under Tuo Ba Yun's guidance.

With that, all but Demon Spirit of the seven great Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had left their bloodlines among the human race, and those humans were absolutely loyal.

As for passing on Demon Spirit's abilities, Di Tian had no plans to arrange it.

For one thing, Demon Spirit's abilities were unusual, and few human Martial Souls could match them.

Besides, the Auspicious Beast would soon descend in a few hundred years. Di Tian was considering having Demon Spirit guard the Auspicious Beast. After all, it had unique abilities of perception and concealment, making it the best choice for the task.

Over the next hundred years, the Ferocious Beasts quietly passed their time in the Sunset Forest.

During that time, Tian Meng's howls were never absent. Yet not one of the Ferocious Beasts showed him any pity. Tian Meng became fertile soil, nourishing the spring pools of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and their surroundings. The Immortal Herbs were also hastened to maturity, giving off a great deal of spiritual Qi of heaven and earth.

As time went by, some human Soul Emperors actually sensed that the place was extraordinary. Thinking that some heavenly treasures lay there, they flocked over in search of them.

Unfortunately, they did not know how perilous the place was.

The Myriad Demon King's branches stirred ever so slightly, and several Soul Emperors vanished...

The Sunset Forest fell silent once more. Di Tian personally taught the Ferocious Beasts how to cultivate Soul Cores.

With the aid of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Ferocious Beasts achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Only four months passed.

All the Ferocious Beasts condensed Soul Cores of their own, more than doubling their strength. Even that rebellious Xiong Jun developed a trace of goodwill toward Di Tian.

A few days later, Di Tian issued new instructions.

He told them to each find complete sets of Soul Bones, so that they would have Soul Bones as soon as they seized human bodies.

For Ferocious Beasts, finding Soul Bones was all too easy.

But those present were all prominent Ferocious Beasts in the Soul Beast Realm, and leaders of their respective clans.

Since they were choosing Soul Bones for themselves, they had to be at least a hundred thousand years old.

Anything less than a hundred thousand years would be too embarrassing to mention!

And so, for a long time afterward, the Ferocious Beasts all returned to their tribes and dug into every possible lead in search of Soul Bones.

Some also spent time exploring, searching for the Soul Bones of other Ferocious Beasts.

The Myriad Demon King went even further, trading all manner of hundred-thousand-year beast bones with several Ferocious Beasts. After all, hundred-thousand-year plant-type Soul Bones were much rarer.

Time flew, and the Ferocious Beasts all found Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones that met their individual requirements.

The Ferocious Beasts returned to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, where they continued condensing their spiritual power and cultivating under Di Tian's guidance.

A hundred years later.

On this day, Di Tian opened his golden eyes.

Three people knelt before him, none other than Tuo Ba Yun and his companions.

Di Tian gave them his orders in a few concise words.

He ordered Black Dragon Mountain to end its closure from that day forward and formally establish a sect.

He would not concern himself with the sect's specific affairs, but its headquarters had to be near the Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was to be regarded as forbidden ground, and no one but the sect master was permitted to enter.

Tuo Ba Yun cupped his hands and bowed, accepting the orders.

Di Tian casually tossed out more than a dozen sets of Soul Bones, all of various ten-thousand-year types, including quite a few from dragons.

This left Tuo Ba Yun and Long Aoyang even more astonished.

In their current era, Soul Bones were the stuff of legend, yet this lord had casually tossed out more than a dozen sets.

Di Tian offered no explanation and continued urging the group to hasten the breeding of descendants.

He then sent them away and summoned the Ferocious Beasts. He was going to undertake something big.

Hearing Di Tian's summons, the five great Ferocious Beasts all hurried over and looked at him curiously.

After more than a hundred years, was Di Tian finally making a move?

The Ferocious Beasts all held their breath and focused, awaiting Di Tian's orders.

But his next instruction left them somewhat puzzled.

"We're going to the Far North!"

The Far North? Wasn't that where the Heavenly Snow Empress lived?

Why would Di Tian think of going there?

Di Tian set off. The Ferocious Beasts had no time to ponder his reasons and followed behind him.

At the center of the Far North.

The Snow Empress's long, snow-white hair fell all the way to her feet, and her sky-blue eyes were thoughtful. Her cultivation was still at six hundred and eighty thousand years.

Sorrow filled her face. Recently, the Snow Empress had been pondering how to take human form. Even after ten thousand years of consideration, she still had not been able to harden her heart and decide.

The Snow Empress's sky-blue eyes suddenly grew grave as she looked into the distance.

Her long white dress fluttered gently.

The Snow Empress's cold eyes shifted.

"Di Tian, what brings you here?"

"Snow Empress, it's been a long time."

Di Tian laughed heartily and stepped out of the void with the Ferocious Beasts.

"Lord Di Tian, there's no need for pleasantries. What have you come to see this humble woman about?"

The Snow Empress's voice remained cool and detached.

Seeing this, Di Tian's eyes also turned cold.

The Snow Empress really was an ice-cold beauty, just as the rumors said!

"Since you've said so, Snow Empress, I won't stand on ceremony. I've come to invite you to join us in undertaking a great endeavor for the revival of the Soul Beast Clan."

"An endeavor? How?"

The Snow Empress gazed into the distance with her ice-blue eyes and replied without turning her head.

"I believe you know the rule that prevents the Soul Beast Clan from becoming gods. I, Di Tian, have invited these Ferocious Beasts here today to break that rule. Now I invite you to join us, Snow Empress, and take a chance for our Soul Beast Clan."

Di Tian spoke each word deliberately.

But the Snow Empress remained unmoved. She nodded lightly. "Well said, but I'm not interested."

She did not even spare the other Ferocious Beasts a glance.

All the other Ferocious Beasts were left feeling very awkward.

Only Xiong Jun was secretly delighted. Fight! Fight!

At this point, Zi JI was the first to lose patience.

"Snow Empress, we're all willing to follow the Beast God and work for the Soul Beast Clan. Don't be ungrateful!"

"Hmph!" The Snow Empress snorted coldly. A force of extreme ice reached out, about to punish this ungrateful girl.

But dark energy suddenly surged forth, blocking the icicle that held powerful Soul Power.

Di Tian intervened to stop it, his expression changing.

He fumed inwardly. How dare she bully my future wife? Looks like I'll have to use my great power after all!

"Snow Empress, I'll ask you one last time. Are you willing or not?"

"I'm not. What can you do to me?"

"Fine. Then don't blame me for what happens."

Di Tian said no more and struck with a Dragon God Claw.

The Snow Empress's Ultimate Ice formed an ice wall, but it held out for only three seconds.

Crack! It shattered.

So strong!

A trace of shock finally appeared in the Snow Empress's cold eyes.

Wasn't Beast God Di Tian's cultivation at seven hundred thousand years?

How could this be?

This was clearly the strength of an eight-hundred-thousand-year cultivation!

The information was false.

"Snow Empress, I'll give you one last chance to join us. I used only thirty percent of my strength in that strike just now. Otherwise, you would already have been shattered to pieces."

Di Tian's dark energy poured out, directly breaking the Snow Empress's Ultimate Ice Domain.

With that, the Heavenly Snow Woman lost even her advantage on this battlefield.

"Don't even dream of it!"

Suddenly, an even sharper female voice rang out from the distance.

A woman appeared, with long dark-green hair and a beautiful face marked by four emerald-green demonic patterns.

It was the Ice Empress!
