Snow Empress still ruminated on this matter now, mainly because she wanted to pull Auspicious Beast over to the Far North to play around.
Of course, this time it was not to swap Gu Yu over; after all, he treated her so well, and if he did not choose to leave on his own, she would honor the agreement and protect him well.
Yet, since he was a dragon of the Dragon Clan, meeting Di Tian might allow her to obtain some secrets of the Dragon Clan from his hands, enabling better cultivation.
As everyone knew, a soul beast's age did not equal its strength.
Only ordinary soul beasts lacked an understanding of cultivation, relying purely on day-by-day accumulation, where age equated to strength.
Meanwhile, anyone who managed to cultivate to one hundred thousand years and become a Fierce Beast
was without exception relying on their own cultivation.
Otherwise, the harrowing barrier of the One Hundred Thousand Year Heavenly Tribulation would be hard to cross.
Now that Snow Empress had successfully stepped into 700,000-Year Cultivation, not to mention being able to defeat Di Tian, she could at least retreat completely from Di Tian's hands.
She also wanted to know what kind of dragon Gu Yu truly belonged to.
Therefore, the problem currently placed before Gu Yu was, "Should I meet Di Tian?"
Achoo~ I can finally come out and stroll around.
This is so awesome!
A stalwart man whose physique was as majestic as a mountain and whose muscles were knotted like the coiled roots of an ancient tree rode steadily on a Blazing Sun Lion as he walked down the road.
A pair of dark gold vertical pupils were embedded in his rugged face, and his untamed, wild gaze exuded fierceness.
Long, dark brown hair was draped loosely over his shoulders, and faint traces of golden manes resembling beast bristles were vaguely visible amidst his locks.
One could distinctly see the unique dark gold patterns characteristic of a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear lingering across his bare chest.
Xiong Jun, having assumed a human form, stepped onto the path alongside Wan Yao Wang.
"Wan Yao Wang, why don't we take a trip to the Evil Demon Forest? Let me witness that legendary Evil Emperor for myself. What gives him the right to be ranked second among the Fierce Beasts by humans?"
"Let me test what kind of person he actually is!"
One could say Xiong Jun had never left the Star Dou Great Forest in his entire life.
He had originally thought that across the entire Douluo Continent, Di Tian was the most powerful being; as long as he defeated Di Tian, he would be the strongest.
He would become the unrivaled Lord of Soul Beasts!
He would become the Beast God!
Regrettably, Di Tian's single move of the Dragon God Claw shattered his dream of becoming the Beast God.
In an instant, he grew obedient.
Even so, a belligerent nature was deeply carved into his bones.
Yet right now within the Star Dou Great Forest, aside from Di Tian, absolutely no one could contend with him.
Di Tian had given orders forbidding soul beasts of the Core Circle from leaving the Star Dou Great Forest, leaving him with nothing to do all day except sleep.
Now that he finally had the chance to come out and roam, Xiong Jun desperately wanted to see that Evil Emperor whom Di Tian had called formidable.
Strong or not, a beating would make that clear!
"The Lord's mission takes precedence. I see you want to taste the Dragon God Claw again."
On the other side, an ominous middle-aged man riding a Heavenly Dragon Horse had a slender figure and wore a hooded garment that wrapped around his entire body, leaving only his face and hands exposed. The skin on the backs of his hands presented an eerie, grayish-blue color, resembling tree bark soaked in deadly poison.
His eyes were long, narrow, and gloomy-green, the depths of his pupils seemingly containing countless tangled and twisting vines that emitted a soul-shattering, demonic strangeness.
Wan Yao Wang said gloomily, "There's no need for the Evil Demon Forest. He should be reaching 800,000 years by now, and that fellow won't hold back his punches like the Lord does."
"If you're looking to die, don't drag me down with you."
"Still, given our friendship, I'll collect your corpse for you when the time comes."
Xiong Jun curled his lips. "Eighty thousand years? Wouldn't that be catching up to Di Tian?"
"So what if it is? Can he even survive the 800,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation?"
Naturally, Xiong Jun still held a skeptical attitude toward the Evil Emperor's strength.
After all, without having clashed with him firsthand, his hands truly itched.
Wan Yao Wang was different. Although he could not leave the Star Dou Great Forest either, as the sovereign of plant-system soul beasts, gathering information and the like was a simple matter for him.
Especially regarding the Evil Demon Forest, which was likewise a soul beast habitat, yet lacked any plant-system Fierce Beasts capable of rivaling him.
Gathering information inside the Evil Demon Forest was as effortless as water flowing through a sieve.
That battle between the Evil Emperor and Di Tian was also witnessed by him from another perspective.
As for why they started fighting, it was naturally when the Auspicious Beast was born, fought over for the right of ownership.
Yet if Xiong Jun were truly sent to fight him, he might not actually go.
Wan Yao Wang shook his head. This old bear looked careless and reckless on the outside, but harbored his own little calculations inwardly.
He was already a Fierce Beast who had lived for tens of thousands of years; if he were truly an utter blockhead, the grass on his grave would have grown taller than anyone could know.
"Let's go!"
Human cities were extremely bustling.
Yet as long as they did not run into Title Douluos, their identities could not be exposed.
Title Douluos could perhaps only be found in large cities, and cities would never host the footprints of a True Dragon.
As for small rural cities, they were completely safe for them.
Therefore, they did not bother concealing their forms, walking openly and boldly down the road.
"Wait!"
"Hiss~ What is this?"
"A Heavenly Dragon Horse?"
At that moment, a tall man wearing a black school uniform with thick eyebrows, tiger-like eyes, a straight nose, square mouth, and a handsome appearance suddenly appeared.
From the very first glance, he took a fancy to the Heavenly Dragon Horse ridden by Wan Yao Wang.
"Brother, could you bear to part with this beloved steed?"
"I'll name a price!"
"Five million Gold Soul Coins. Sell it to me, alright?"
An ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone was worth between three million and eight million Gold Soul Coins.
As for buying a tamed soul beast, it was much cheaper.
Simultaneously, a wretched-looking attendant ran over quickly, arriving panting heavily in front of the black-uniformed man.
"Second Young Master, spending five million to buy a soul beast—once the sect master finds out, he will definitely beat you."
The black-uniformed man said unconcernedly, "Chen Wen, this is a Heavenly Dragon Horse, and a tamed ten-thousand-year soul beast at that. Whether I take it out to show off or give it to Nannan as a future spirit ring, it's exceptionally good."
One had to know that the intelligence of a ten-thousand-year soul beast was already quite high; wanting to successfully tame one, even for the most elite Beast Tamer, did not carry a high probability. It was a one-in-ten-thousand chance of serendipity.
Yet in the market, a tamed soul beast possessed little intrinsic value, belonging to a category that was priceless and devoid of a market.
Now, he could use it to show off, riding a white horse to confess his feelings to Nannan, just like the prince on a white horse in fairy tales.
Nannan would surely be very moved, right?
Furthermore, a ten-thousand-year Heavenly Dragon Horse was exceedingly rare.
Even when Nannan stepped into the realm of a Soul King in the future, it would suit her perfectly as a spirit ring.
It would be even better if it yielded a long-range soul skill.
He simply could not accept the fact that Nannan always fought people using those fair, slender legs of hers, giving away advantages for nothing to others.
Nannan was his wife!
"Name your price, mister! I'm not short on money!"
The black-uniformed man was full of arrogance.
"I am the Second Young Master of the Xuanming Sect, Xu Sanshi!"
Xiong Jun was quite speechless. How did a human suddenly pop out? He looked closely and—oh~ he was just a Soul Elder.
What kind of trash dared to block his path.
You had to know that any soul beasts who dared to block his path in the Star Dou Great Forest had all ultimately turned into his food.
Were they not afraid of death?
At that moment, Xiong Jun had only a single thought.
Where did this brainless idiot come from?
