Victory

"What should I do?"

Bai Yuan asked himself inwardly.

By now, he was growing more anxious, yet also calmer and calmer. He did not allow fear to take hold of his heart.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through Bai Yuan's mind.

In an instant, with a thought from him—

A vast amount of Spiritual Qi within the Five Elements Array began to gather.

Di Tian said flatly, "It's useless. You rely on various hand seals to wield the World Force. Now that you can't move your entire body, even if you can mobilize the World Force with your mind, how much of your previous strength can you unleash?"

After fighting for some time, Di Tian had more or less figured out the source of Bai Yuan's power, as well as how he unleashed those techniques.

That was why Di Tian had so decisively brought out his trump card, directly suppressing Bai Yuan's true body and intending to settle this in one blow!

"Is that so?" Bai Yuan smiled.

Di Tian's dragon pupils contracted slightly. The Dragon God Claw slammed down, its terrifying power raging through heaven and earth as the entire space descended into chaos.

Yet this strongest claw strike of the mortal world—an attack capable of effortlessly slaughtering ninety-nine Peerless Douluo—stopped not far in front of Bai Yuan.

It was a square array disk that looked almost wooden. Dense array inscriptions covered its surface, seeming to contain the supreme truths of heaven and earth and the mysteries of the Great Dao.

At that final moment, Bai Yuan abandoned the Five Elements Array and took away its most crucial core—the Five Elements Array Disk.

Relying on the Five Elements Array Disk, as well as the portion of World Spiritual Qi he had previously gathered—which had rapidly gone out of control after the Five Elements Array vanished but still remained—he activated the disk's power, broke free from the Dragon God Claw's restraint, and blocked Di Tian's strike.

"How is this possible?" Di Tian erupted with all his strength, but even with the Dragon God Claw's enhancement, he still could not shake that ancient array disk in the slightest.

Bai Yuan took out every remaining Spirit Recovery Pill, opened his mouth, and swallowed them all in one gulp. Vast spiritual power surged forth from within his body.

But that power nearly tore his "frail" body apart. Bai Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Di Tian, it's time to decide the victor!"

Bai Yuan formed hand seals with both hands, leaving behind layer upon layer of afterimages.

An irresistible force erupted from the Five Elements Array Disk, blasting Di Tian—his entire body covered in a seven-colored halo and stretching a thousand meters long—more than ten thousand meters away.

Di Tian tumbled through the air, and wherever he passed, space cracked apart inch by inch, exposing chaotic void.

With a spread of his enormous black wings, a typhoon swept across heaven and earth. Even the soil on the ground was lifted more than ten meters into the air, turning into dust that scattered into the distance with the wind.

Di Tian steadied himself. "Good. Let's decide the victor!"

The Dragon God Claw descended upon Bai Yuan from over ten thousand meters away.

In an instant, every element between heaven and earth responded.

Water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, space—every kind of power converged toward Bai Yuan, about to erupt in an utterly chaotic state.

This strike had nearly reached God Level!

Bai Yuan showed no fear. His hands formed an exceedingly strange seal, and a wisp of invisible Chaos Qi drifted gently down from the Five Elements Array Disk.

Five Elements Primordial Chaos Array, Primordial Chaos Tribulation!

Drawing upon all the spiritual power produced by the Spirit Recovery Pills, along with the remaining World Spiritual Qi from before, Bai Yuan drove the Five Elements Array Disk's power to an unprecedented peak.

The force of this strike was not inferior to Di Tian's desperate attack in the slightest. It was the pinnacle of the mortal world, nearly reaching the God Level.

Just as they were about to determine victory and defeat, another voice suddenly reached Bai Yuan and Di Tian's ears.

"Seven Treasures Have Names, first: Strength."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, second: Speed."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, third: Soul."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, fourth: Defense."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, fifth: Attack."

"Seven Treasures Have Names, sixth: Augmentation."

Six rays of light flew over from the horizon at incredible speed. In an instant, they merged into Bai Yuan's body, greatly boosting his aura and allowing the power of the Primordial Chaos Tribulation to directly cross that critical threshold!

Of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancements, strength, speed, soul, and defense were useless to Bai Yuan. But attack and augmentation truly increased the power of his strike by eighty percent.

In an instant, Di Tian's desperate strike was like paper before that wisp of Chaos Qi, all of it dissolving into nothingness without stirring the slightest ripple.

In stark contrast to the apocalyptic scenes caused by their previous clashes, this final move was incomparably tranquil—so tranquil that it stirred no waves at all.

Di Tian no longer tried to evade that invisible Chaos Qi, because he knew he could not possibly escape it.

He turned to look toward the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest. A trace of bitterness and relief appeared in his enormous golden eyes. Perhaps dying beneath a God Level strike could also be considered a fitting finale.

The Chaos Qi swept past, and Di Tian's massive body crashed to the ground with a boom, smashing out an enormous crater.

Everything returned to silence.

"Di Tian!" Bi Ji hurriedly flew toward where Di Tian had fallen.

Bear King, Myriad Demon King, the Titan Giant Ape, and the Azure Bull Python were all left stunned. The Soul Beast known as the Beast God—the invincible Di Tian—had died just like that?

The space at the horizon suddenly tore open, and a massive demonic dragon burst out, charging straight at Ning Fengzhi and the other two.

"Despicable humans, I'll kill you!"

However, the Demon Queen ranked only ninth among the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, her strength merely on par with the Scarlet King. With the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's enhancement, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo easily held her back.

A great battle was on the verge of erupting.

The world, which had only just regained its calm, became incomparably chaotic again in an instant. Bear King and Myriad Demon King on the ground wore hesitant expressions, as though they might fight him to the death at any moment.

Bear King and Myriad Demon King had not sincerely submitted; they had merely yielded to Di Tian's strength. Now that Di Tian was dead, they were hesitating over whether to risk their lives against Bai Yuan.

The Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, and Scarlet King were even more so. If Bai Yuan showed any killing intent now, they would have no choice but to fight to the death.

Bai Yuan instantly saw through the four beasts' thoughts, and he carefully sensed the chaotic condition within his body.

Bai Yuan's physical state was currently terrible beyond measure. If not for the Five Elements Array Disk's protection, he feared that he would have split apart in an instant.

Split apart in the literal sense.

"Di Tian isn't dead." Bai Yuan's calm voice suddenly spread throughout heaven and earth. The Demon Queen, who had been fighting desperately and suppressing Ning Fengzhi's group of three, immediately stopped.

As though confirming Bai Yuan's words, under Bi Ji's treatment, which spared no expense of life force, Di Tian slowly opened his eyes and rose from the ground.

This made both Bi Ji and the Demon Queen breathe sighs of relief, as did Bear King, Myriad Demon King, and the several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

They now felt that becoming Di Tian's underlings did not seem so bad after all. At the very least, they had a powerful backer and would not have to live in constant fear as before.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and even Bai Yuan could not help but tense inwardly.

Because judging from the current balance of power, even if Di Tian was severely injured, with Bi Ji's assistance, he could still hold Bai Yuan off.

The three of them, meanwhile, would face a one-sided slaughter.
