Di Tian Makes a Move, Tang San's Unease

In the infirmary, on a hospital bed.

Tang Wulin lay quietly, still trapped in a deep coma.

Wu Zhangkong looked toward the doctor in white beside him and asked in a low voice, "Excuse me, how is my student doing now?"

"It's fortunate he was brought in early." The doctor glanced at Tang Wulin and shook his head. "His bones and internal organs have suffered a certain degree of damage. If he had arrived any later, it might have been dangerous."

"However, this child's physical constitution is far superior to that of a one-ring Soul Master, and his recovery speed is quite fast. He should be fully recovered in a few days."

"During this time, it is best for the patient to rest quietly; do not disturb his recovery." After giving these brief instructions, the doctor left the ward.

In the ward, only Wu Zhangkong and the unconscious Tang Wulin remained.

"Sigh..." Wu Zhangkong let out a soft sigh. Thinking of what had just happened, his expression grew complex. "Perhaps I really did put too much pressure on Wulin."

After staying for a while longer, seeing that the day was growing late and Tang Wulin's breathing was steady, Wu Zhangkong finally stood up and left.

Time gradually slipped away, and the bright moon climbed to the treetops.

Clear moonlight poured into the ward like spilled mercury.

A gentle breeze blew through the curtains, causing them to lift and fall.

In the corner of the room, which had been empty, a burly black figure about two meters tall suddenly appeared.

Even though the room was bathed in bright moonlight, the corner where the figure stood seemed like a pitch-black abyss, swallowing all light until not a single glimmer remained.

It was none other than the former number one on the continent's Beast rankings, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.

"The power belonging to my Dragon Clan!! It is not something a human like you should possess."

He stared coldly at the human boy in the distance, his eyes filled with killing intent and a hint of excitement.

As long as he extracted the Golden Dragon Power and fused it with Gu Yuena's Silver Dragon Power, the Dragon Clan and the Soul Beasts would surely rise again.

Thinking of this, Di Tian did not hesitate to strike at Tang Wulin, who lay on the hospital bed.

In an instant, the ward was plunged into total darkness.

However, the next moment.

Just as Di Tian's dragon claw was about to pierce Tang Wulin's abdomen, a blue-gold light instantly tore through the darkness.

"What a wicked beast, you have some nerve!"

A majestic, furious voice exploded in the room.

The previously unconscious Tang Wulin suddenly opened his eyes, and blue-gold divine power erupted instantly, shooting straight at the dragon claw of Di Tian before him.

BOOM!

Caught off guard, Di Tian was immediately repelled by this divine power, his expression shifting between shock and suspicion as he stared at Tang Wulin.

"You... this is..."

Tang Wulin's body seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, slowly floating up from the hospital bed.

At the same time, the golden Trident mark on his forehead was clearly visible, shining brilliantly.

Such a sight immediately caught Di Tian's attention; his pupils constricted sharply, and he gasped.

"The Sea God Mark? Are you Tang San?!"

"I never expected that after ten thousand years... your Soul Beast clan would still refuse to give up!!!"

"This is truly audacious!"

Tang San stood in mid-air, looking coldly at the Di Tian before him.

"Tang San! It really is you!"

There was no surprise on Di Tian's face; instead, hostility and rage slowly emerged as he stared fixedly at his opponent.

Ten thousand years ago, when the Auspicious Beast fell, he had felt that something was wrong.

Although everything appeared as if Wang Qiu'er had developed curiosity about the human world due to her attribute connection with Huo Yuhao.

But if one considered Tang San's repeated interference in the lower realm, and the fact that Tang Wutong could use the Golden Dragon Spear after the Auspicious Beast's death.

A suspicion had been quietly forming in Di Tian's heart.

All of this was merely a trap set by Tang San.

It was all to keep the destiny of Star Dou in his own hands.

"Dragon God Claw!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Di Tian struck.

The massive dragon claw swung out, causing the surrounding space to distort as it lunged toward his opponent.

The Dragon God Claw, a technique personally passed down by the Dragon God, could only be learned by the successive Dragon Kings of the Black Dragon clan, and its power was terrifying.

Executed by Di Tian, who stood at the pinnacle of the continent, the power of this strike was such that even a deity who had just stepped into the god realm would not dare to take it head-on.

At this moment, fierce light gleamed in Di Tian's golden eyes; he wanted to see, now that the God Realm had vanished, how much power this divine sense left on the Douluo Continent could actually exert?

"You have a sharp eye, but so what?"

"Thirteen Forms of the Sea God: Uncertain Storm!"

Tang San's expression turned cold as a Trident instantly materialized in his hand, which he swung forward.

Vast divine power transformed into surging waves, and the cramped room began to ripple with layers of tides, as if it had been submerged into the deep sea.

Following this, the endless azure transformed into circles of blue-gold divine rings, enveloping Di Tian before him.

Even if the Dragon God Claw was powerful, Di Tian was ultimately just a mortal creature, still far from the realm of Tang San.

As the rings of light locked onto the dragon claw, Di Tian's figure instantly froze in mid-air.

At the same time, the Trident in Tang San's hand erupted with powerful divine energy once more.

"Twilight of the Sea God!"

"You want to kill me? If you had come in person, I might fear you, but a mere sliver of divine consciousness? You are not worthy!"

Di Tian let out a cold shout, and the dark soul power around his body erupted in that instant.

"Black Dragon World Annihilation!"

The waves carrying the power to end all things collided with the black dragon flames, and a terrifying aura exploded, only to vanish in a flash.

When the light faded, only Tang Wulin remained, floating quietly in the hospital room.

On the floor before him, scattered pieces of black fabric lay, but Di Tian had already vanished.

"Hmph, you ran away fast enough."

Tang San looked at the fabric scraps and let out a cold snort, but deep within his majestic eyes lay a profound sense of worry.

"For a small place like Eastsea City to attract Di Tian, could it be that Wulin unlocked a seal, causing his aura to leak and be locked onto by the Silver Dragon King?"

"Or perhaps... someone tipped them off?"

Thinking of this, Tang San locked onto one person.

Child of the Star, Xu Yue!!

The moment he identified the Child of the Star, Tang San also recalled the peculiar space-time fluctuations from several years ago, which must have originated from Xu Yue.

"Could it be that the moment the Child of the Star was born, he had already made contact with the Beasts of the Star Dou Forest?"

For a moment, Tang San fell into deep contemplation.

It was not an impossible scenario.

After all, the impact of that event back then was far too vast; with the cultivation levels of the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian, it was impossible for them not to have sensed it.

At the same time.

As the most legitimate heir to the plane, once the Child of the Star reached level 99, he would not need to inherit a God Position or create his own. He could directly ascend to the god level and become the Plane Master.

Facing such an existence, the Soul Beasts were left with only two choices: kill him or win him over.

But killing the Child of the Star would be tantamount to cutting themselves off from the entire plane, making the survival environment for Soul Beasts even worse.

Befriending and winning him over, however, could yield immense benefits.

As long as they waited for Xu Yue to become the Plane Master, he could even raise a new continent from the sea to provide living space for the Soul Beasts.

For the near-extinct Soul Beasts, this could almost be called a brand-new path to survival.

Thinking of this, the killing intent in Tang San's eyes grew increasingly intense.

It was not just because of his father's grudge, but also the panic and unease that the Douluo Continent was gradually slipping out of his control.

Xu Yue was growing too fast; he was already comparable to a Soul Emperor. If he were to grow for a few more years and gain access to the Battle Armor system, wouldn't his combat power soar even faster?

If Xu Yue were to reach the Quasi-God level before Tang Hao recovered, the position of Plane Master might no longer be secure.

Between a usurper and a legitimate heir, the difference was clear to anyone.

"Xu Yue must die, and he must die as soon as possible!"
