God-Level Di Tian

["The Box of Ultimate Bliss shouldn't have met the conditions to be opened yet, should it?"

He poured Soul Power into the Box of Ultimate Bliss, trying to trigger the Dragon Vein's Soul Power again.

Yet no matter how he urged it, the four streams of Soul Power did not reappear.

"Could it be... that the Dragon Vein's Soul Power has been drained dry?"

Wu Wei muttered to himself, then shook his head.

Impossible.

The Dragon Vein was said to be formed from the vast Soul Power flowing through the earth, symbolizing the earth's limitless strength. How could it possibly be drained dry so quickly?!

Besides, leaving aside however much Soul Power remained underground, wasn't this purple pillar of light connecting heaven and earth also Soul Power?!

Just as he pondered the reason in midair.

A massive dragon tail suddenly lashed out from the Dragon Vein's purple energy pillar!

The dragon tail swept out of the pillar, carrying a terrifying might capable of destroying heaven and earth as it smashed viciously toward Wu Wei!

By the time the distracted Wu Wei noticed it, it was already too late to dodge.

His pupils abruptly constricted as the enormous dragon tail rapidly filled his vision, arriving before him in the blink of an eye.

"Too late!"

Almost instinctively, Wu Wei gritted his teeth and activated the Box of Ultimate Bliss. The black cube instantly flew before him, blocking the space between him and the dragon tail.

"Bang!!!"

A violent sonic boom exploded!

The sound waves spread through the air, shaking the surrounding trees until they swayed wildly!

Wu Wei was slammed hard against the Box of Ultimate Bliss by the tremendous impact!

The Box of Ultimate Bliss, along with him, shot backward toward the ground like a cannonball!

"Rumble!!!"

The sound of earth being plowed thundered through Sunset Forest.

Trees were uprooted, rocks were crushed into powder, and a long fissure appeared across the ground.

It stretched from the location of the pillar of light all the way into the depths of the forest.

It was several thousand meters long.

At the end of the fissure, the Box of Ultimate Bliss lay on the ground, its surface still completely intact.

But Wu Wei did not possess such formidable defenses.

"Pfft!"

Wu Wei violently spat out a mouthful of dark blood.

Gritting his teeth against the pain, he lowered his head to look at his chest.

The robes over his chest had been shredded, exposing the mangled flesh beneath.

His ribs were visibly caved in, and every breath brought piercing pain.

"That blow broke at least five ribs!"

Cold sweat poured down Wu Wei's forehead, and his breathing was rapid and ragged.

Luckily... luckily, that attack hadn't contained any Soul Power. It had been purely physical force. Otherwise, he would probably already be dead!

Still shaken, Wu Wei fixed his gaze on the purple pillar of light that pierced the heavens and earth.

That was right. The incredibly fierce attack just now had been nothing but pure physical strength. He had not sensed the slightest fluctuation of Soul Power within it.

Yet a strike delivered purely through bodily strength.

Had actually sent both the Box of Ultimate Bliss and him flying, leaving such severe injuries on him.

What kind of thing could possess such power?!

Wu Wei stared intently at the Dragon Vein, which was still continuously spewing Soul Power, afraid of missing even the slightest detail.

Suddenly, the erupting Soul Power came to an abrupt halt.

It was as though the entire world had been paused, and the surrounding air instantly froze.

The deafening roar stopped without warning, leaving heaven and earth deathly silent.

"It's coming!"

Alarm surged through Wu Wei's heart, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

The next moment.

A terrifying suction force erupted from the center of the Dragon Vein.

That suction was so powerful it was suffocating, like a black hole madly devouring everything around it!

The Dragon Vein's purple Soul Power no longer erupted outward. Instead, it frantically collapsed inward toward its center!

The surrounding grass and trees were torn from the ground by the frenzied suction, and everything was dragged toward the center of that purple vortex.

Feeling his body begin to fly toward the center of the pull, Wu Wei's expression changed drastically.

He reacted swiftly, curling his right hand into a claw and fiercely grabbing the ground.

His five fingers sank deeply into the earth, anchoring his body firmly in place.

The gale howled. His entire body was dragged until it was nearly parallel to the ground, yet he clenched his teeth and refused to let go.

"What exactly is this thing?!"

Wu Wei narrowed his eyes and struggled to look toward the Dragon Vein, his heart filled with indescribable shock.

The suction did not last long.

As the Dragon Vein shrank, the world that had been dyed purple began to regain its original colors.

The Dragon Vein's purple energy pillar continuously shrank. Finally, at the very center of the suction, a figure appeared.

A man dressed in black robes.

Though his appearance had changed drastically, the dragon horns and black robes still made him recognizable. This was Di Tian in human form!

"How is that possible?!"

Wu Wei's eyes widened as he stared at the figure in disbelief.

"Wasn't Di Tian used as a sacrifice?!"

He had personally watched Di Tian be swallowed by the purple pillar of light.

According to the conditions for unsealing it, Di Tian, as the sacrifice, should have been the price that had to be paid!

But now, the Beast God who should have been reduced to ashes stood before him completely unscathed!

And...

Wu Wei's gaze fell on Di Tian, his pupils slightly shrinking.

That figure was still Di Tian, but the feeling he gave off was completely different.

This aura, this pressure... far surpassed what he had possessed before.

At that moment, Di Tian abruptly opened his eyes.

A flash of purple light passed through his golden dragon pupils.

Several streams of purple energy, like swimming dragons, circled around his body. Compared to before, they carried an indescribably divine quality.

Di Tian lowered his head to look at his hands, slowly clenched them, then released them.

"So this is the power of the Dragon Vein?"

His voice carried excitement, along with barely suppressed ecstasy.

"No, it's more than that."

Feeling the unprecedented power within his body, Di Tian's lips slowly curved upward.

At that moment, he had learned the full course of events.

Originally, he, the little girl from Shrek, and her martial soul had been used as sacrifices. The three of them had been offered up to break the Dragon Vein's seal.

But after leaving its seal, the Dragon Vein needed an individual host to bear its power.

Thus, he, who had been reduced to nothing more than an unconscious remnant soul, had been drawn into an illusion by the Dragon Vein and subjected to a trial.

And in the end, he had given an answer that earned the Dragon Vein's recognition.

The Dragon Vein had successfully attached itself to him. Relying on the Dragon Vein's immense Soul Power, he had reconstituted a body even more powerful than his original one.

His strength had also undergone explosive growth as a result.

"My control over the Dragon Vein's power is still insufficient. The increase in strength is limited."

Di Tian frowned slightly as he felt the vast yet still somewhat unwieldy power within his body.

However, even if it was limited, he had definitely reached the God Level!

He just did not know what level he stood at among God-Level beings.

Di Tian pondered this silently.

He was not an ordinary mortal completely ignorant of the God Realm.

When he was young, while the Dragon God was still around, he had already learned about the classifications of the God-Level realm.

It was simply that there were no gods now to serve as a reference.

He could only vaguely determine that he had reached the God Level, but he still could not accurately judge which tier he belonged to.

"Is there no heavenly tribulation descending?"

Di Tian raised his head to glance at the sky, a trace of confusion flashing through his eyes.]
