After all, not just anyone could safely absorb an External Soul Bone. Back then, the mere thousand-year External Soul Bone, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, had nearly crippled Xiao Xiao's hand.
As for this five-thousand-year External Soul Bone, the Dark Gold Dreadclaw, Ye Chen planned to wait until he became a Soul Elder before absorbing it.
By then, he would have a greater chance of success and enough confidence to absorb this External Soul Bone.
For Ye Chen, there was no need to rush. Before long, his Soul Power Level would reach that of a Soul Elder.
After putting away the External Soul Bone, Ye Chen prepared to leave this damned place.
Now that his Soul Power Level had reached level twenty-five, with these two great soul skills, Ye Chen no longer needed to tread on eggshells in the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even if he encountered that Human-faced Dragon Snake again, Ye Chen was confident he could leave safely in front of it.
Ye Chen kept walking in one direction. Based on the sun's position, he could roughly determine the exact direction of Shrek Academy.
As long as he followed this direction, he would eventually leave the Star Dou Great Forest.
After walking for a while, Ye Chen suddenly noticed an incredibly powerful Soul Power fluctuation in the distant sky.
The Soul Power fluctuations and collision dyed the entire sky in interwoven gold and black. Those two fluctuations belonged to Light Soul Power and Dark Soul Power.
"This Soul Power fluctuation!"
Ye Chen stared at the aura of light and darkness filling the distant sky, as well as the black giant dragon before his eyes.
"That's Di Tian! And Elder Mu!"
In an instant, Ye Chen identified the two combatants. Across the entire continent, there was only one Light Soul Master capable of fighting Di Tian!
That was—the Dragon God Douluo Mu En!
"Elder Mu..."
Ye Chen murmured a few words before charging toward the direction of their battle.
He had to appear before Elder Mu as soon as possible. He could not let the old man worry or clash with Di Tian.
Among everyone in Sea God Pavilion, including Elder Mu, no one understood Di Tian's terror better than Ye Chen!
He was truly the foremost being below the god rank. Possessing the Dragon God Claw, Di Tian dared to contend even with gods!
Ye Chen moved swiftly, sprinting straight toward Mu En.
Above the Star Dou Great Forest, where Mu En and Di Tian were fighting.
Mu En's Light Soul Power was steadily being forced back beneath Di Tian's Dark Soul Power.
By now, Mu En was breathing heavily, with wounds scattered across his body.
"Mu En, you are no longer at your peak. You do not even qualify to let me enjoy myself!"
Di Tian's massive dragon body had suffered no serious injuries during his clash with Mu En. His domineering golden eyes fixed on Mu En.
Among the Shrek Elders behind Mu En, only Elder Xuan still had even a slight presence on this battlefield.
The other Sea God Pavilion Elders had either been injured by the shockwaves from Mu En and Di Tian's clash or wounded by a casual strike from Di Tian.
Mu En looked at Di Tian, who blocked his path. While marveling at Di Tian's power, he also blamed himself for why his body was not at its peak.
Little Chen, Grandpa is useless. It seems I won't be able to find you today.
Feeling the state of his body and the condition of the Sea God Pavilion Elders around him, Elder Mu had already made his decision.
Just then, a child's voice reached the ears of Elder Mu and the Shrek Elders.
"Elder Mu, everyone, I'm here."
Ye Chen arrived at this terrifying battlefield and shouted to the elders around him.
Hearing the voice, Elder Mu turned toward Ye Chen, delight appearing in his eyes.
"Little Chen?!"
Upon seeing Ye Chen, the great weight in Elder Mu's heart finally lifted. He then said sternly to Elder Xuan beside him.
"Xuan Zi, take Little Chen back to Shrek Academy first. Nothing must go wrong this time!"
Elder Mu then looked at the Sea God Pavilion Elders behind him, signaling for them to leave this battlefield as well.
Di Tian's huge dragon eyes watched Mu En's little movements, curiously assessing the golden-eyed child on the ground.
Di Tian was curious what kind of magic this golden-eyed child possessed that could make even Mu En, that old turtle, disregard his own body and fight him.
As he examined Ye Chen, Ye Chen's gaze met that of the Golden-eyed Black Dragon King, the greatest beast on the Douluo Continent.
The instant Ye Chen met Di Tian's eyes, a suffocating pressure instantly enveloped him.
This was Di Tian's innate dragon might, capable of invisibly imposing an overwhelming sense of oppression upon weaker Soul Masters.
Seeing Shrek's formation and the old man Mu En's actions, Di Tian no longer had much desire to fight and was about to leave.
At that moment, a majestic voice entered Di Tian's mind.
"Di Tian, bring that golden-eyed child back to see me!"
The owner of this voice was half of the Dragon God—the Silver Dragon King!
The Silver Dragon King had originally been recuperating beneath the Lake of Life, still asleep.
But a beam of light from beyond Douluo Star directly awakened her, and that beam had descended into the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Silver Dragon King looked toward the beam. It gave her the feeling of an Emperor; even the Dragon God from her memories could not match the pressure that beam brought her.
Then, within her sight, she saw a noble and imposing suit of armor. It radiated incomparably pure light and an overbearing aura that suppressed all things.
The armor had merely glanced at her, yet the Silver Dragon King felt fear rise from the depths of her soul and did not dare look toward the Golden Armor again.
Now, she sensed the same aura from this golden-eyed child as she had from that Golden Armor, drawing her attention.
Thus, she issued her order to Di Tian. She wanted to uncover the secret within this child; perhaps it could allow their Soul Beast race to rise again.
Upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's command, Di Tian turned his gaze toward Ye Chen.
"Since Master has given the order, I must bring this child back."
With that thought, Di Tian's enormous dragon body erupted with terrifying Soul Power fluctuations as his beast form transformed into a human form.
Once a Soul Beast's cultivation reached the level of a ferocious beast, it could freely transform into human form.
Black mist rose from Di Tian's dragon body. After a moment, a mighty and domineering middle-aged man emerged.
After taking human form, Di Tian stared fixedly at Ye Chen. Irresistible pressure surged within his golden dragon eyes as he charged toward Ye Chen behind Elder Xuan.
Seeing this, Elder Xuan inwardly cursed, Not good! He immediately summoned his Martial Soul Avatar, the Godly Taotie Bull, and stood in front of Ye Chen.
Seeing this, Elder Mu had no choice but to stake everything on this. His Martial Soul Avatar, the Light Holy Dragon, possessed him, and Light Soul Power gathered in his palm once more. Though his aura was already in disarray, his gaze remained steadfast.
