I Turned Out to Be the Divine Artifact, Dragon Slaying Blade?

Since she had been confined, she might as well lie flat.

Resisting was impossible. There was no resisting.

Who could possibly resist Di Tian?

Three-Eyed Golden Lion lay sprawled on the lush grass, sleeping soundly. In her dream, she went from being the Auspicious Beast of the entire Star Dou Great Forest to the Auspicious Beast of the entire human world.

She had finally arrived in the human world she had longed for. Countless humans, just like soul beasts, prostrated themselves at her feet in submission. They were nowhere near as dangerous as Di Tian had claimed.

She stood atop Di Tian's head, looking down at her countless subjects, growing ever more smug.

Hmph, Two-Legged Beasts did not even deserve to lick her feet!

Suddenly, a huge foot kicked her, jolting her back to reality as her entire body flew out of control.

She slammed heavily into a tree trunk and fell to the ground.

Her legs pointed skyward as her head spun.

Luckily, her hide was thick enough that she had not been smashed in half.

But her fury immediately surged.

"Di Tian, what are you doing?!"

She had been so obedient, yet he had actually hit her. This was going too far!

I'll tell Sister Bi Ji that you bullied me!

Yet in the past, Di Tian had always cradled the Auspicious Beast in his palm, unwilling to let her suffer even the slightest grievance.

But through Simulated Life, he had learned that although she had been plotted against by gods—

She had also failed to stand her ground. Just what was so good about that Huo Yuhao that she had willingly chosen to sacrifice herself for him?!

Why was Di Tian certain it had been a god?

The Golden Dragon Spear had appeared in both simulations. While the Auspicious Beast did possess a trace of the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, the divine artifact Golden Dragon Spear had been buried within the God Realm.

How had it suddenly ended up in the Auspicious Beast's hands?

Though Di Tian hated gods deeply, there was nothing he could do. His only duty was to protect The Lord.

Since he could not stop the gods—

The only thing that could be changed was the Auspicious Beast's own way of thinking.

Unfortunately, the Auspicious Beast was simply too disappointing!

Throwing herself at him!

It infuriated him!

"Useless thing!"

Di Tian's face was terrifyingly dark as he warned, "Starting today, you are not allowed to leave without my orders. Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"

If not for the fact that he had raised her himself, he would have wanted to break one of her legs already.

If it came down to it, perhaps he really should just break one of her legs. Better that than losing her life.

Since the Simulator had repeatedly pointed out the appearance of Gu Yu, this "True Dragon," Di Tian felt it was time to bring him back.

Only the Star Dou Great Forest was truly safe for soul beasts.

It would be bad if he were hunted down by humans outside.

"A Disciple? That wouldn't be impossible."

"But I'll still have to see which clan this True Dragon belongs to."

In any case, before they had even met, Di Tian was already full of goodwill toward his future Disciple.

As for the Auspicious Beast at his feet, he found her even more displeasing.

The Auspicious Beast rubbed her eyes, still not having recovered from the beating. She stared at Di Tian in disbelief.

If it had been any other soul beast, she would have twisted off its head long ago.

Unfortunately, this was Di Tian.

She could not beat him.

Wanting to defeat Di Tian seemed impossible in this lifetime.

She could only swallow her grievance.

She had to tell Sister Bi Ji and accuse Di Tian of his unfairness!

There was no such thing as this!

"Damn it!"

"Di Tian has never beaten me like this before. It must be some reckless soul beast who badmouthed me to Di Tian while I wasn't paying attention!"

"Don't let this Auspicious Beast find out who he is!"

"Otherwise, I'll twist your head off, hmph!"

The Auspicious Beast had no idea that she was about to fall from favor.

"Achoo!"

Little Golden Dragon Gu Yu shivered violently and pulled himself tighter.

"I reckon the weather ain't that cold. Why'd I sneeze?"

"Could someone be thinking about me?"

Gu Yu shook his head. He hoped Tang God King was not muttering about him. Huo Yuhao was still around, after all. Please do not set your sights on him.

Though considering Tang God King's family history with humans and beasts, Huo Yuhao and Tang Wutong did not seem like a match.

No, wait. Tang Wutong counted as half a soul beast too.

"Dragon Slaying Blade, oh Dragon Slaying Blade, where are you?"

The Far North was vast.

For thousands of miles, the land was frozen, and the cold wind cut like blades.

Glaciers rose from the boundless snowfields. Soul beast tracks were difficult to spot, while wind and snow drifted everywhere. It was practically a forbidden zone for life.

"Since I'm a True Dragon, I should be able to call out the Dragon Slaying Blade, right?"

Gu Yu cautiously slit his wrist, and a drop of golden blood fell into the Ice and Snow World.

Blood recognition of a master, after all.

What if it could summon the blade?

Other than making his body a little colder, there was no reaction whatsoever.

"No, wait. Could it be that I'm the Dragon Slaying Blade?"

All at once, Gu Yu seemed to have noticed a crucial point.

Otherwise, how could a True Dragon have appeared out of nowhere in the Far North?

He remembered that among the few True Dragons remaining in the world, aside from the two in the Star Dou Great Forest, there was only that Fire Dragon Egg in the Dragon Graveyard.

So where had a True Dragon come from in the Far North?

It could not possibly be the Golden Dragon King that had escaped from the God Realm, could it?

He was nowhere near that powerful. He was completely like a Dragon Baby, and it looked as though he had only just been born.

Case closed.

"I'm actually the divine artifact Dragon Slaying Blade?"

"Wait?"

"Then should I still go find Di Tian?"

His original plan had been to head to the Star Dou Great Forest and gain Di Tian's protection.

But if he really was the Dragon Slaying Blade, would going to Di Tian not be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?

Was he going to deliver a divine artifact to Di Tian?

"So this really is a hellish start!"

"Since I'm the Dragon Slaying Blade, why can't I become human like Sima Jinchi?!"

Soul beasts took far too long to cultivate!

On the other side of the Far North.

As the foremost of the Three Great Kings of the Far North, Snow Empress possessed nearly 700,000 years of cultivation.

Among the Ten Great Beast Kings, she ranked third.

At that moment, she stood atop a cliff, gazing at the snowy scenery of the Far North and sighing helplessly.

"I can't avoid it."

Her peerlessly beautiful face was filled with sorrow. She was about to face a 700,000-year heavenly tribulation. Though she had been born of heaven and earth and blessed by the Far North, she still could not escape the fate of a soul beast.

"It seems I can only take a gamble now and transform into a human!"

Snow Empress sighed, watching Ice Empress's departing figure before shaking her head.

"I hope we will have a chance to meet again in the future."

Then she left without looking back.

As for the large Ice Silkworm she had just seen, it was an exceptionally lucky one that had become a million-year soul beast.

Yet no one had expected the Ice Silkworm to fall for its natural enemy, the Ice Jade Empress Scorpion.

It had even confessed so openly, apparently creating quite a spectacle with Spiritual Power.

But even at a million years, it was merely a useless Ice Silkworm with no combat strength whatsoever.

It seemed that Ice Empress was leading her clan through the Far North with such great fanfare. The Ice Silkworm clan of the Far North was likely about to suffer again.

Snow Empress held a Snow Lotus in her hands.

"With this hundred-thousand-year Snow Lotus as the catalyst, I can seal my origin and cultivate anew as a human."

"Ice Empress has left, and Xiao Bai is fighting A Tai again. I am now in the Core Circle of the Far North."

"Nothing unexpected should happen."
