Battle Against Di Tian

In the distance, sensing that the Soul Power between heaven and earth had returned to normal, the Titled Douluo finally stopped and looked back.

Seeing the incomparably dense Dark Element on the horizon, like storm clouds blotting out the sun, along with the soaring sword intent within that seemed ready to split heaven and earth apart, the Titled Douluo could not help exchanging glances.

At last, among Spirit Hall's Titled Douluo, a particularly hot-tempered man snapped, "Who spread the word that the two Reformed Soul Beasts had, at most, the strength of five rings?"

The Spirit Hall Titled Douluo immediately turned their gazes toward Ning Fengzhi, as well as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him.

Of everyone present, the group from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the most likely culprit.

After all, his daughter had been captured.

He wanted to trick people into coming to save her.

Ning Fengzhi's expression shifted slightly as he explained, "The news came from Shrek Academy. I don't know what exactly happened either."

Ning Fengzhi had also harbored considerable resentment over Zhao Wuji losing his daughter. If he had not been in such a hurry to save Ning Rongrong, he would have taken people over to beat him half to death.

The Spirit Hall Titled Douluo pondered for a while. Glancing at the horizon and knowing they were not completely safe yet, they turned and left.

Yu Yuanzhen did not hesitate either. He parted ways with the other Titled Douluo, having already made up his mind.

He would never come to the Star Dou Great Forest again for the rest of his life.

A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast True Dragon—even a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo would have to shed a layer of skin if they came here without dying.

Yu Yuanzhen even felt that the Black Dragon's cultivation was far beyond a hundred thousand years. In particular, the words "Beast God" that he had heard from Bai Yuan's mouth made his heart tremble.

Watching everyone leave, Ning Fengzhi was in no hurry to go. He turned back to look at the pitch-black "clouds" on the horizon.

"Uncle Sword, if we go back and help Bai Yuan, or help Beast God Di Tian, could we save Rongrong?"

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly no longer intended to flee.

He still wanted to rescue his daughter.

After all, with his support abilities, if Divine Beast Di Tian and Bai Yuan were roughly equal in strength, then whichever side he chose would basically be guaranteed victory.

The only thing troubling Ning Fengzhi now was that if he helped Di Tian kill Bai Yuan, Bai Yuan might take Ning Rongrong with him before he died. Or Di Tian might refuse to honor the deal and casually kill them as well.

If he helped Bai Yuan kill Di Tian, however, Ning Fengzhi feared that Bai Yuan would refuse to honor the deal afterward and still not return Ning Rongrong. He might even kill them all because of what had just happened.

In the near pitch-black darkness, space shattered again and again, only to be restored under the repair of the laws.

The gazes of the Fierce Beasts pierced through the darkness before them, watching the sky that looked as though chaos had only just begun to part. Each of them felt differently.

Bear King stared with his eyes wide, his enormous bear face displaying almost humanlike shock as he said, "He can actually trade blows with Di Tian?"

Having returned to human form and already been healed by Bi Ji, Myriad Demon King said in a deep voice, "Let's attack together and help Di Tian."

As soon as he spoke, Myriad Demon King made the first move. With a lift of his hand, his arm transformed into countless branches that shot toward the human within the darkness.

But before Myriad Demon King had the chance to interfere with Bai Yuan, a massive dragon tail suddenly swept through the darkness, causing the countless branches to explode.

"Who told you to interfere?!"

Di Tian's furious voice came from the darkness.

Myriad Demon King said, "I came to help you."

A cold, emotionless voice answered, "No need."

Myriad Demon King froze, feeling utterly stifled.

Bi Ji slowly said, "The Beast God is proud. He will never allow anyone to interfere in his battle."

In the sky, Bai Yuan looked at the enormous Black Dragon before him with surprise. In a situation where they were evenly matched, if he had someone to help him, he definitely would not refuse.

But Di Tian had refused.

Without the slightest hesitation. To block Myriad Demon King's attack, he had even divided his attention and taken one of Bai Yuan's attacks head-on.

"Continue. It has been a very, very long time since I felt as full of fighting spirit as I do today, and many years since anyone challenged me. In truth, I am very lonely." Di Tian's golden eyes stared fixedly at Bai Yuan, his battle intent blazing fiercely within him.

Bai Yuan asked, "Aren't you afraid of dying in battle?"

Di Tian smiled. "Human, if you had lived for hundreds of thousands of years as well, you would not ask me such a question."

Di Tian paused, a trace of loneliness appearing in his golden eyes. "I have stayed here for far too long. I know every speck of dust in the Star Dou Great Forest, and I have seen every story time has to offer. I have long grown tired of living."

"Only responsibility has kept me stationed here, unable to leave. And the constraints of the laws have prevented me from transcending them. Otherwise, I would have long since traveled the vast sea of stars and witnessed worlds unlike this one."

A trace of surprise flashed through Bai Yuan's eyes.

But he soon understood.

Di Tian was deeply valued by the Dragon God, so naturally, he knew things born in the barbaric age that he should not have known.

For example, that the land beneath their feet was round, and that every one of the countless stars in the night sky was actually a sun.

And that this world was merely one among the billions of worlds in the vast universe.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yuan said, "If I said I could help you transcend this world, would you believe me?"

Di Tian shook his head. "Enough. Talking with you is both a sign of respect and a result of my boredom. I merely wanted to say a few more words to you before you die."

Bai Yuan's face immediately darkened, but he still tried to persuade him. "Di Tian, I think you should be able to sense what is special about me, and that the power I use is completely different from yours. Why can't you trust me just once?"

"Trust you? To be honest, your appearance did give me a bit of a surprise. If you hand over the Auspicious Beast, I'd be more than happy to have a chat with you. But unfortunately, I know a powerhouse like you won't choose to compromise. So we can only stand on opposite sides."

The corner of Bai Yuan's mouth twitched. In truth, if handing over Wang Qiuer could earn him Di Tian as a friend—or even as a disciple—he would have been quite willing to do it.

After all, Di Tian and the others would not kill Wang Qiuer. On the contrary, they would carefully wait on her as if she were their ancestor.

But since Di Tian had put it that way, he could hardly suddenly say that he was willing to hand over the Auspicious Beast and completely ruin the atmosphere, could he?

After some thought, Bai Yuan decided to maintain the bearing and dignity of an expert. He said, "If possible, I would also like to be friends with you. But since you wish to take my disciple, there is one thing you must do first—defeat me!"

Bai Yuan's voice carried far into the distance. The rolling sound waves forcibly tore through the darkness, allowing warm sunlight to shine upon him once more.

"Good! Good! Good!" Di Tian laughed three times. His enormous right claw suddenly rose, and a Black Sun abruptly appeared behind him.

The Black Sun was blacker than any darkness Bai Yuan had ever seen. It resembled a Black Hole. Just as a trace of sunlight had begun to fall upon the earth, it vanished completely in that instant.

Moreover, the Black Sun was incomparably vast. From a distance, Di Tian's colossal thousand-meter body looked like a dragon-shaped totem within a pitch-black circle.

With such a Black Sun as his backdrop, Di Tian looked like a World-Destroying Demon Dragon, like a Peerless Demon God!
