On the way to Di Tian, Yu Xiaogang and Lin Yi talked at length, while Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong walked off to the side and whispered among themselves.
"Er Long, what do you think? Could Lin Yi become a legend like Tang San?"
"Hard to say."
Liu Erlong shook her head.
"Lin Yi seems talented, but he still has a ways to go before he can compare with Tang San. Still, if Xiao Gang keeps helping him, maybe Lin Yi really can surpass him."
"True."
Bibi Dong replied, and a hint of pride appeared on her cool, aloof face. "With Xiao Gang's guidance, even a good-for-nothing can be given a chance to make something of himself, let alone someone who's already talented... Wait!"
Bibi Dong's expression grew serious. Liu Erlong also sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere around them. That howling sound was nothing like an ordinary gust of wind.
"We're in danger!"
Lin Yi instantly summoned his Martial Soul Avatar, shielding Bibi Dong and the others within it. He remained calm as he watched the way ahead.
"You're just a demigod. How dare you come before this emperor? Are you tired of living?"
"Di Tian!"
Bibi Dong was still deeply shocked to see the supreme Soul Beast appear before her own eyes.
Lin Yi, however, was unfazed. He walked forward with a cold expression.
"They say you're a king, but you seem pretty average to me."
"Don't be reckless!"
Yu Xiaogang was about to stop him, but Lin Yi had already dismissed his Martial Soul and charged straight to Di Tian's feet without another word.
"Di Tian, I challenge you!"
Di Tian narrowed his eyes.
After Huo Yuhao, another human had dared to challenge him. This one certainly had guts!
Di Tian chuckled, bent down to glance at Lin Yi, then slowly spoke.
"If you're truly set on this, follow me. This king would like to see just what you humans are capable of."
A vortex like a black hole opened. Di Tian entered first, and Lin Yi turned to bow to Bibi Dong and the others. "I have to fight. Whether or not this chance makes me stronger, I have to seize it. If I don't, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
Yu Xiaogang pondered for a long while, then nodded to Lin Yi.
"Since you've made your choice, then go and do it. But there's one thing you must do: come back alive. Bibi Dong, Er Long, and I will wait for you here."
"Don't worry. I will!"
When Lin Yi entered the alternate space, Bibi Dong turned to look at Yu Xiaogang.
"Xiao Gang, sending Lin Yi, a young hothead, off to handle this—isn't that a little dangerous?"
"Don't worry."
Yu Xiaogang turned to Bibi Dong and smiled with confidence.
"It's been a long time since I've seen someone as confident as Tang San. Lin Yi really is capable. Have you ever seen someone with a Dragon God Martial Soul who isn't the least bit arrogant?"
"That's true."
Bibi Dong agreed.
"There are very few young people with that kind of composure. Bibi Dong, all we can do now is wait and see!"
After entering the alternate space, Lin Yi felt his Martial Soul stir. The place was pitch-black, yet the power of a king surged ceaselessly through it.
When Di Tian stood towering before him, Lin Yi narrowed his eyes.
"Why did you bring me here?"
"Are you afraid?"
A chill flashed in Di Tian's eyes. A formidable power gathered in his claws, and his breathing grew heavy.
"Kid, you're the second boldest person I've ever met. Do you know that before you, only one person who challenged me managed to escape alive?"
"But at least one person made it out, right?"
Lin Yi still smiled, showing no fear.
"If someone can stand up to you, then I won't be the unlucky one."
This kid really was different.
Though Di Tian didn't believe Lin Yi had any chance of defeating him, the young man's confidence still drew a roar from him as he released his Soul Power.
"Heaven-Shattering Earth-Destroying!"
A torrent of flames rushed straight at Lin Yi. He stood his ground without panic and summoned his Dragon God Martial Soul.
"Second Soul Skill: Dragon Tornado Sweeping Clouds!"
The Golden Dragon wrapped around Lin Yi and charged into the flames. In an instant, it swallowed the entire mass of blazing fire, leaving not the slightest trace behind.
"That's impossible!"
Di Tian was stunned.
"How can you have this kind of power?"
Lin Yi ignored his shock and raised his hand again.
"Third Soul Skill: Flying Dragon in the Sky!"
The Golden Dragon shot straight upward, then suddenly plunged toward Di Tian from a great height.
Di Tian quickly countered.
"Second Soul Skill: Solid as a Rock!"
When the Golden Dragon saw the layers of enormous boulders before it, it let out a furious roar.
Yu Xiaogang and the other two, outside the barrier, were also struck by the powerful air currents. They hurriedly summoned their Martial Souls to steady themselves.
Before long, they saw a Golden Dragon break through the black hole, appearing before them with Di Tian's arm clenched in its jaws. Lin Yi stood high atop the dragon's head, looking down on the world.
Seeing Di Tian still struggling, Lin Yi's eyes turned cold. "You've already lost!"
