By all rights, after relying on the Dragon Vein to break through the two major thresholds of nine hundred thousand years and one million years in succession, he should have faced a heavenly tribulation.

Yet at this moment, the sky was cloudless and the sun shone brightly. There was not the slightest sign of a heavenly tribulation.

He shook his head and stopped dwelling on it.

A heavenly tribulation was no longer a problem for him.

Even if the nine-hundred-thousand-year and million-year heavenly tribulations came together, he could disperse them with a single strike.

Di Tian withdrew his gaze and looked toward a certain direction within Sunset Forest.

Before reaching God Level, he had not sensed anything unusual.

But now, his senses had become sharper than ever.

Something in that direction was drawing him in.

Di Tian could not help thinking of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well Wu Wei had mentioned earlier, as well as the remains of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King buried beneath it.

"Could it be something left behind by that Sea God Tang San?"

A flicker of fighting spirit flashed through Di Tian's golden dragon eyes.

He urgently needed to determine where his strength stood among God Level beings.

Something left behind by a Sea God who could not descend due to the rules of the God Realm was perfect for use as a sparring partner.

Moreover, the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings beneath the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had to be recovered.

The Dragon Clan's ancestors had died in a foreign land, and even their bones could not rest in peace after death. That was a disgrace to him as a descendant of the Dragon Clan.

With that thought, Di Tian turned and looked down at the bedraggled Wu Wei on the ground, as well as the completely unharmed Box of Ultimate Bliss beside him.

A trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.

Although that earlier attack had merely been a casual swing backed by God Level physical strength, without any Soul Power added to it—

It should not have merely knocked the Box of Ultimate Bliss away without damaging it.

What material was that black cube... actually made of?

Di Tian's assessment of the Box of Ultimate Bliss rose once more.

In a flash, he appeared before Wu Wei, standing with his hands behind his back as he looked down at him.

"Where did you get this divine artifact?"

Di Tian demanded directly.

He had already completely concluded that the Box of Ultimate Bliss was a divine artifact, and not a low-level one at that.

Wu Wei looked up at the imposing Di Tian before forcing a smile.

"No comment."

Di Tian frowned, and a cold glint flashed through his golden dragon eyes.

"I hope you can still be this stubborn in a moment."

As soon as he spoke, Di Tian remained standing with his hands behind his back.

But the purple Soul Power flowing around him like swimming dragons suddenly transformed into slender dragon tails that lashed viciously toward Wu Wei!

Every dragon tail ripped through the air with a sharp whistle, moving at incredible speed.

Though Di Tian had restrained their power because he wanted to capture Wu Wei alive for questioning—

Every strike was still equivalent to an attack from a Level 98 Title Douluo!

The instant Wu Wei sensed something was wrong, the Spatial Soul Tool on his body flashed.

A suit of armor identical to the one that had previously resisted the Dragon Vein's power instantly covered his entire body.

The moment the Soul Tool armor enveloped him, Wu Wei's speed surged!

He continuously leaped and sprinted through the forest, weaving between the trees like a ghost.

The purple dragon tails controlled by Di Tian were always a step behind, each one barely striking the place where he had stood a second earlier.

Whenever he truly could not evade in time, Wu Wei even summoned the Box of Ultimate Bliss before himself and used it to withstand those fierce attacks head-on.

"Damn it!"

Wu Wei cursed through gritted teeth as he fled.

Di Tian wants to wear down my stamina and capture me alive!

After running for a while, Wu Wei glanced back at Di Tian, who was leisurely following behind him.

Di Tian followed at an unhurried pace, with an expression of amused interest even on his face.

Wu Wei instantly guessed what his opponent was thinking.

I'll go for it!

Wu Wei's gaze sharpened. He stored the Box of Ultimate Bliss back into his Spatial Soul Tool and began pretending that he was running out of strength.

His steps gradually became unsteady, his speed slowly decreased, and his breathing grew increasingly ragged.

"Already unable to keep going?"

Seeing Wu Wei slow down, Di Tian thought to himself.

Bang!

A dragon tail struck Wu Wei successfully. The Soul Tool armor on Wu Wei's body instantly shattered, and he was sent flying before crashing onto the top of a hillside!

Wu Wei crouched weakly on the hillside, gasping for breath as sweat trickled down his cheeks.

Di Tian came before him and looked down at him from above.

"Now, honestly tell me every secret you know."

Hearing this, Wu Wei raised his head with an expression as though he had accepted his fate.

"As long as you let me go!"

"I'll tell you everything! Come closer, I have something to give you!"

Di Tian did not suspect a thing and stepped forward.

At that moment—

Wu Wei suddenly raised his head. The pleading expression on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by the triumphant smile of a scheme that had succeeded.

"Die!"

He abruptly raised his hand and summoned the Box of Ultimate Bliss from his Spatial Soul Tool, smashing it viciously down at Di Tian!

The Box of Ultimate Bliss cut through the air as it hurtled straight toward Di Tian's face.

Di Tian was slightly surprised, and a flash of astonishment passed through his golden dragon eyes.

But he reacted immediately, raising his right hand and coating it in purple Soul Power as he met the attack head-on!

Bang!!!

A deafening explosion erupted through Sunset Forest, and the shockwave spread in every direction.

A corner of the hillside was instantly blasted away, sending shattered rocks flying everywhere.

When the dust settled, Di Tian was still standing in place. He had not even taken a single step back.

Clearly, Wu Wei's sneak attack had been unable to threaten him.

But when Di Tian focused his eyes, Wu Wei was already gone.

Di Tian froze slightly and swept his gaze into the distance.

The next moment—

An outrageously smug voice rang out from afar!

"Di Tian! This is my escape route!!"

Wu Wei was once again pressed against the Box of Ultimate Bliss as it flew backward from inertia.

And surrounding the Box of Ultimate Bliss were ring after ring of Soul Cannons.

Soul Cannons from Level 7 to Level 9 were densely packed in layers, numbering at least a hundred!

Those Soul Cannons were frantically firing Soul Cannon shells backward. The immense thrust produced by the shells' explosions propelled the Box of Ultimate Bliss to an extreme speed.

Within a few breaths, it shot out of Sunset Forest's boundaries and became a tiny black dot on the horizon.

Only Sunset Forest suffered, having been blasted into a disastrous state by the Soul Cannon shells.

Sunset Forest: ...

Di Tian stood atop the hillside, staring at the rapidly shrinking figure on the horizon as his expression shifted between dark and pale.

He lowered his head and looked at his empty right hand, then raised his head to look at the black dot that was nearly disappearing beyond the edge of his vision. The corner of his mouth twitched.

The Dragon Vein attached to him possessed the power of time and space.

But unlike Soul Rings and Soul Bones, it was not directly attached to any of his soul skills.

And he had only just obtained the Dragon Vein, so he had not yet had time to develop its related abilities.

Wu Wei also had none of his dragon scales or anything similar on him, so Di Tian could not descend directly to his side out of thin air.

After a long while, Di Tian shook his head, a trace of helplessness flashing through his eyes.

"Looks like I need to quickly develop the power of time and space."

Otherwise, if he encountered a situation like this again, he could only watch helplessly as his prey slipped away right before his eyes.

However...

Di Tian glanced in the direction where Wu Wei had disappeared.

That human named Wu Wei did have some skill, managing to come up with such a method to escape from his grasp.

He was now even more interested in the secrets Wu Wei might know.

Di Tian withdrew his gaze. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of purple light and sped toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

He would first test what Sea God Tang San had left behind and determine his own strength.
