Di Tian's arrival was also sensed by Zi Ji, who flew into the sky.

"Beast God."

Di Tian nodded. Naturally, he knew the sisters Zi Ji and Zi Ling. The Hell Demon Dragon clan could be said to possess the purest True Dragon bloodline aside from his own.

Moreover, the Hell Demon Dragons belonged to the Dark Dragon King's lineage. As the current clan leader of the Black Dragon Clan, Di Tian naturally gave the Hell Demon Dragon clan additional care.

"Zi Ji, why did Zi Ling choose to sacrifice herself to a human?" Di Tian asked with a frown.

He disliked humans. After all, they hunted Spirit Beasts without restraint. Yet he also acknowledged them; humans possessed extremely powerful talent.

For example, several thousand years ago, there had been a woman named Qian Lingyun who defeated him head-on. She later broke through Level 100 and attained godhood. The Spirit Hall she left behind had always prevented beast tides at the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Back then, humans had merely been food for Spirit Beasts. Yet at some point, highly gifted Spirit Masters emerged among them, cultivating to the rank of Titled Douluo and resisting beast tides.

Now, most Spirit Beasts lived in Spirit Beast forests, while humans occupied the largest territory across the entire Douluo Continent.

This was what Di Tian had witnessed: humanity rising from nothing, changing from prey into hunters.

"This was my little sister's choice. You also know that she has little Lifespan remaining. She has observed this human for a long time, and this human's talent is even greater than Qian Lingyun's was.

My little sister intends to help this human become a god, then revive her and aid our Spirit Beast clan." Zi Ji said with a bow.

Di Tian frowned. He knew quite a lot. Among the Spirit Beast clan, he was the only one who knew what happened after one became a god and what the Divine Realm was truly like.

Furthermore, he was the spokesperson for the Spirit Beast Lord and knew many things, such as how Spirit Beasts were unable to become gods due to the suppression of the Divine Realm.

Take Di Tian himself. He had just survived his eighth major tribulation and possessed a genuine eight hundred thousand years of cultivation. By all rights, with his foundation, he should have become a god long ago. Once he became a god, he could reach the level of a Rank 2 God in a single step.

Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, Di Tian could find few opponents. Deep in the sea was a Deep Sea Demonic Whale King whose age was close to a million years, while on another continent beyond Douluo Continent lived an Evil Eye Tyrant Overlord.

Those two Spirit Beasts could fight Di Tian on equal footing. In the Extreme North, there was also a naturally born and nurtured spirit, the Heavenly Snow Woman.

"Zi Ling's injuries were caused by the Heavenly Tribulation. Although she barely survived her first Heavenly Tribulation, it still destroyed most of her life force.

Her body is already riddled with damage. No amount of life energy will be of use. Master could save her, but Master has already entered the Nirvana stage.

The strength Master can wield is far too limited. At minimum, Master will not be able to act for another ten thousand years, and it will take twenty thousand years for Master's injuries to fully heal.

I'm sorry. There is nothing I can do." Di Tian apologized to Zi Ji.

Despite being the Beast God and the clan leader of the Black Dragon Clan, he was unable to save one of his own kind.

"Master's Nirvana is what truly matters. Once Master emerges from seclusion, it will be the day our Spirit Beast clan prospers." Zi Ji also deeply revered that Master. That was the supreme existence of the dragon race.

"Tell me about this human. A Dark Holy Dragon Spirit? Interesting." Di Tian looked toward Chen Xilin, who sat cross-legged nearby.

"I do not know much about this human either. My little sister has been watching him all along. Today was the first time she brought him here." Zi Ji said with a slight bow.

"Oh? Let me see. His bone age is seventeen, and his Soul Power has reached Level 70! Since when did humans produce such a monstrous genius again?

If I encountered him, I would certainly strangle him in the cradle." Di Tian's gaze sharpened, killing intent filling his eyes.

"Xilin, This King will not provide you any help. You must endure the Soul Ring's energy yourself. My Spirit Bone will fuse with your bones, and even if you are killed, the Spirit Bone cannot drop.

This King needs part of my strength to preserve my soul, so I cannot help you. You must rely on yourself for everything. Sacrifice is irreversible. We no longer have a way back."

As soon as Zi Ling finished speaking, a crimson Soul Ring emerged and descended upon Chen Xilin. However, upon closer inspection, a fine golden line could be seen on the crimson Soul Ring.

Chen Xilin felt the energy within Zi Ling's Soul Ring. The incomparably vast energy was exactly what he needed.

"Don't worry. Leave it to me."

Chen Xilin closed his eyes and circulated the Muscle Tendon Classic. At this moment, he intended to use Zi Ling's Soul Ring and Spirit Bone to break through to the White Tier Futu in one go.

White Tier Futu: Each acupoint could independently store qi and exert force, releasing it three zhang beyond the body to injure others invisibly with qi. One could ride eagles through the vast skies for ten thousand li. Its power transcended the ordinary and far surpassed the ninth stage of the Golden Bell Shield.

Very soon, changes began occurring around Chen Xilin. His originally blue aura turned white, wisps of it radiating from his body.

Zi Ling, who had already bound herself to Chen Xilin, could also sense that he was growing stronger. This growth left her somewhat unable to comprehend it.

Absorbing her Soul Ring would certainly make him much stronger, but wasn't this far too absurd? How had his aura already nearly reached the level she possessed as a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

A sacrifice was when a Spirit Beast gave everything it had to a Spirit Master. During this process, as long as the Spirit Master absorbed the Soul Ring quickly enough, it could be completed swiftly.

Soul Rings obtained through hunting carried remnants of the Spirit Beast's thoughts and will, which struggled against the Spirit Master. If the Spirit Master won, they gained a new Soul Ring. If they lost, the Soul Ring would leave them crippled or even kill them.

Thus, Chen Xilin took only a quarter of an hour to finish absorbing the Soul Ring and completely make Zi Ling's Soul Ring his own.

"You really are a monster. You absorbed This King's Soul Ring that quickly? Next comes This King's Spirit Bone.

Since this is your Seventh Spirit Ring, and the Seventh Spirit Ring has only one skill—the Martial Soul AvatarThis King cannot grant you a soul skill.

For Spirit Bone skills, This King carefully selected two for you. One is called the Heavenly Demon Domain, a domain-type skill. Within this domain, your word is law. You are the master of this domain.

The other Spirit Bone skill is Heavenly Demon Dance Heavenly Secret, an area-of-effect skill. It is an energy-wave-type skill, and when paired with the Heavenly Demon Domain, its power is formidable.

This King will also grant you a domain: the Devouring Domain! It releases a purple-black orb of light that transforms into a massive vortex with devouring power.

The energy it devours can strengthen you, and you can also return what is done to you back upon your enemy. It could be said that you now have no weaknesses whatsoever.

Furthermore, my Hell Demon Dragon King bloodline has strengthened your Dark Holy Dragon bloodline. Your Dark Holy Dragon Spirit possesses an ultimate Dark Attribute, and it has also gained This King's Water Attribute.

This King will teach you the abilities of Yin Water later. Well? Big Sister's Soul Ring and Spirit Bone are amazing, right? Hurry up and praise This King!"

Zi Ling was now a soul energy form, but having escaped the agony of her body's complete decline, her personality had become far more lively.

Chen Xilin said, "...Wow, Big Sister is amazing! I'd go crazy for Big Sister, go wild for Big Sister, and smash my head against walls for Big Sister!"

Chen Xilin felt that he should humor this Great Mother Dragon. This Great Mother Dragon was quite easy to coax, so there was no harm in indulging her. If she got into a bad mood and had the other Great Mother Dragon beat him up, that would not be worth it.

"Hmph, were you badmouthing This King, brat? Our hearts and bodies are now one. Don't think This King doesn't know what you're thinking! Don't let it happen again!

All right, This King is tired. I'm going to sleep in your Spirit Sea."

Zi Ling's soul form yawned, waved toward Zi Ji and Di Tian, said farewell, and entered Chen Xilin's Spirit Sea.
