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

Yet at this moment, the sky stretched clear for thousands of miles, with the sun shining brightly. There was not even the slightest trace 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 before.

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 a method left behind by that Sea God Tang San?"

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

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

A method left behind by a Sea God who could not descend to the lower realm because of the God Realm's rules would make the perfect sparring partner.

Furthermore, 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, unable even to rest in peace after death. That was a disgrace to him as a descendant of the Dragon Clan.

Thinking this, Di Tian turned his head again and looked down at the bedraggled Wu Wei on the ground, as well as the completely unscathed Box of Ultimate Bliss beside him.

A flicker of surprise passed through his eyes.

Although that strike earlier had merely been a casual swing using the physical strength of a God Level body, without any Soul Power added to it.

It should not have merely sent the Box of Ultimate Bliss flying without inflicting any damage.

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

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

With a flash, he appeared before Wu Wei. Standing with his hands behind his back, he looked down at Wu Wei from above.

"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 a high-grade 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 remain this stubborn later."

As soon as he finished speaking, Di Tian still stood with his hands behind his back.

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

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

Although Di Tian had restrained his force because he wanted to capture Wu Wei alive for questioning.

Every strike was still equivalent to an attack from a Rank 98 Titled 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 blocked the Dragon Vein's power instantly covered his entire body.

The moment the Soul Tool armor equipped itself, Wu Wei's speed surged!

He leaped and sprinted through the forest, his figure darting between the trees like a ghost.

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

Whenever he truly had no time to evade, Wu Wei activated the Box of Ultimate Bliss and held it before him, taking those fierce attacks head-on.

"Damn it!"

Wu Wei fled while gritting his teeth and cursing inwardly.

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

After fleeing for a while, Wu Wei turned his head and glanced at Di Tian, who was leisurely following behind him.

Di Tian followed at an unhurried pace, his face even carrying an intrigued expression.

Wu Wei instantly guessed what his opponent was thinking.

I'll risk it!

Wu Wei's gaze sharpened. He stored the Box of Ultimate Bliss in his Spatial Soul Tool and began pretending to be out of stamina.

His steps gradually became unsteady, his speed slowly decreased, and his breathing grew more and more labored.

"Can't go on anymore?"

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

Bang!

A dragon tail successfully struck Wu Wei. The Soul Tool armor on his body instantly shattered, and he was sent flying backward, crashing onto the summit of a slope!

Wu Wei crouched weakly on the slope, 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, his face taking on a resigned expression.

"As long as you let me go!"

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

Di Tian suspected nothing and took a step forward.

At that moment.

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

"Die!"

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

The Box of Ultimate Bliss sliced through the air and shot straight toward Di Tian's face.

Di Tian was slightly surprised, and a flicker 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 slope instantly vanished as shattered rocks flew everywhere.

When the dust settled, Di Tian was still standing where he had been. 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 gaze, Wu Wei was already gone.

Di Tian froze slightly, his eyes sweeping into the distance.

The next moment.

An outrageously arrogant voice rang out from afar!

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

Wu Wei was once again pressed against the backward-flying Box of Ultimate Bliss by inertia.

Around the Box of Ultimate Bliss, layer upon layer of Soul Tool cannons had somehow appeared.

Level 7 to Level 9 Soul Tool cannons were packed densely together, numbering no fewer than a hundred!

Those Soul Tool cannons were frantically firing Soul Tool shells backward. The immense thrust generated by their explosions propelled the Box of Ultimate Bliss to an extreme speed.

Within just a few breaths, it shot beyond the borders of Sunset Forest and became a tiny black dot on the horizon.

Only Sunset Forest suffered, left scarred and ravaged by the exploding Soul Tool shells.

Sunset Forest:...

Di Tian stood atop the slope, watching the figure on the horizon grow smaller and smaller as his expression alternated between black and white.

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

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

But unlike Soul Rings and Soul Bones, those powers were not directly attached to his soul skills.

And he had only just obtained the Dragon Vein, with no time yet to develop the related abilities.

Wu Wei also had none of his dragon scales or anything similar on him, so Di Tian could not descend upon him 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 develop the powers of time and space quickly."

Otherwise, if this happened again, he could only watch helplessly as his prey slipped away right under his nose.

However...

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

That human called Wu Wei was rather capable, to have thought of 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. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of purple light and sped toward the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

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