You have already courted death!

"Is this the Sea God?"

Di Tian looked at the man before him, his golden dragon eyes narrowing slightly.

When the First-Generation Shrek Seven Devils ascended ten thousand years ago, the Ferocious Beasts had all been in secluded cultivation in the Star Dou Great Forest, so he had no idea what the Sea God looked like.

Granted, Shrek Academy did have statues of the First-Generation Shrek Seven Devils.

But during every previous beast tide, he had fought each successive Sea God Pavilion Master to the death outside Shrek City.

He had never paid any attention to those chunks of stone inside Shrek City.

Di Tian composed himself and said:

"Sea God Tang San, you have already ascended to the Divine Realm. Are you still going to use this divine sense clone to interfere with the lower realm?"

He had, admittedly, come here specifically to test his strength against what the Sea God had left behind.

But he could not let himself fall onto the back foot, so he challenged him first.

The expression of Tang San's divine sense clone shifted slightly at those words.

He thought of the God King in the Divine Realm who kept watching him—even more closely than Xiao Wu did—and his expression soured.

Although he had left this divine sense clone behind to protect the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Interference in the lower realm was still interference in the lower realm.

If the God of Destruction discovered it, he would probably be hounded for centuries, measured in the Douluo Continent's time.

So Tang San snapped angrily:

"Insolence! You are destroying my Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, and I am protecting it! What wrong have I committed?"

He paused, his voice growing sharper:

"Besides, I left this divine sense clone behind before ascending to the Divine Realm."

"I had not yet gone to the Divine Realm at the time, so how could this divine sense clone count as interference with the lower realm?!"

Looking at the furious Tang San, Di Tian did not press him further.

After all, he had not come here to debate.

Di Tian turned and carefully examined the Dragon Bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

His gaze lingered on the jade-clear bones for a moment before he stated bluntly:

"These two sets of Dragon Bones are the remains of my Dragon Clan's forebears. I cannot allow petty villains to exploit them any longer. I must take them away today."

"Di Tian, you have already courted death!"

Hearing himself called a petty villain, Tang San immediately burned with rage.

He was always the one taking advantage of others. Since when did anyone else get to take advantage of him?

"These two sets of Dragon Bones became ownerless the moment the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings died!"

Tang San enunciated each word:

"And since they landed in my Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, I am their new owner!"

He paused and slowly raised his right hand, golden light gathering in his palm.

"And you..."

Tang San's voice abruptly turned icy and harsh.

"Are nothing but a worm twisting reason to suit yourself! Now receive Divine Punishment!"

The instant his words fell, Tang San brought his raised right hand down.

The sky abruptly darkened.

Dark clouds surged in from every direction, streaks of golden lightning coursing through them with deafening thunder.

Boom!!!

A bolt of golden lightning crashed down from the clouds, bearing the might to destroy heaven and earth as it blasted straight toward Di Tian!

Before the lightning even struck Di Tian, its terrifying pressure had already split the ground beneath his feet.

Divine Punishment was an attack a god formed from the power of faith, and its might needed no explanation.

Yet, faced with this attack from a god-level powerhouse, Di Tian...

Did not dodge, evade, or retreat!

He drew a deep breath and clenched his right fist, purple soul power gathering furiously around it.

He threw a punch, meeting the attack head-on!

Boom!!!

A purple fist projection shot out from Di Tian, carrying the might to tear heaven and earth apart as it collided head-on with Tang San's Divine Punishment!

"You overestimate yourself!"

Seeing Di Tian meet the attack head-on instead of trying to evade it, Tang San's lips curled upward as he sneered inwardly.

For the sake of his Ten-Thousand-Year Grand Plan, he, Tang San, the "God of Voyeurism," knew practically everything on the Douluo Continent like the back of his hand.

Naturally, he knew of Di Tian, the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest.

He also knew that his opponent possessed only a little over eight hundred thousand years of cultivation and could not possibly withstand his Divine Punishment!

But just as he was basking in his smug satisfaction.

His smile suddenly froze.

After a brief deadlock with Di Tian's fist projection, the lightning he had formed from the power of faith was actually punched clean through!

The purple fist projection tore through the golden lightning like a blade splitting bamboo, shot straight into the sky, and pierced layer after layer of clouds, leaving an ever-widening hole overhead.

"What?!"

Tang San was inwardly shocked, his pupils abruptly contracting.

Although this was only his divine sense clone, not his true body.

Its strength had definitely reached the upper ranks of Second-Level Gods. How could a mere Soul Beast with a little over eight hundred thousand years of cultivation suppress it?

Could it be...

Tang San carefully sensed Di Tian's aura and discovered that its immense power was completely different from when he had secretly observed him before.

The current Di Tian had clearly already reached god level!

Tang San steadied himself and said gravely:

"You have actually reached god level. Then why aren't you peacefully awaiting the Divine Realm's summons?!"

Di Tian looked up at the hole where the clouds had dispersed and rotated his wrist.

My control over the Dragon Vein is still lacking. I accidentally used too much force.

That was what he thought.

He lowered his gaze and looked at Tang San.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know that we Soul Beasts cannot enter the Divine Realm at all! Otherwise, how could I possibly have only reached god level now?!"

He had already learned all of this during the Dragon Vein's earlier trial.

The Divine Realm had an ironclad rule that "Soul Beasts must not become gods," sealing off every Soul Beast's path to ascension.

Otherwise, with his talent, he would probably have inherited some Godhood and become a god hundreds of thousands of years ago!

Seeing that his attempt to mislead Di Tian had failed, Tang San's expression darkened, and he felt thoroughly humiliated.

He said no more and closed his right hand around empty air. A trident appeared in his grasp.

Its shaft was slender, and dazzling blue light flickered at its tip. It was none other than the Sea God's divine artifact—the Sea God Trident.

"Since that's how it is, don't blame me for showing no consideration for the hardships of your cultivation!"

Tang San flashed forward, becoming a streak of golden light as he charged straight at Di Tian with the Sea God Trident!

"Golden Thirteen Halberds, third form! Never Return!!"

Facing Di Tian, who had already reached god level, Tang San dared not hold anything back.

He immediately unleashed the divine skill with the strongest single-target attack among the Sea God Legacy's Golden Thirteen Halberds.

The golden trident mark on his forehead suddenly blazed, and a blue phantom appeared behind him.

The figure held a trident and wore blue battle robes. He was Poseidon, the previous Sea God.

The phantom radiated a pressure that compelled submission, moving in perfect synchrony with Tang San before finally unleashing this explosive thrust!

Faced with this supremely fierce strike, Di Tian likewise held nothing back.

For the first time since his battle with the Evil Emperor years ago, he unleashed his full strength!!

With Di Tian at its center, the purple soul power around him erupted like a volcano, its tremendous force surging into the clouds!!

Its might actually surpassed that of Tang San's Sea God divine sense clone before him by a considerable margin!

Purple light dyed half the sky purple, standing toe-to-toe with Tang San's golden divine power.
