Background / History
Di Tian is a descendant of one of the nine Great Dragon Kings who served under the Dragon God. The Asura God identifies his Black Dragon bloodline as exceptionally concentrated 86.
As ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, he leads the fierce beasts dwelling around the Lake of Life while serving the slumbering Silver Dragon King as his “Master.” His authority over the forest does not extend above hers: he kneels when awakening her and obeys her commands during her meeting with Lan Lingcang 39 86 87.
Before his alliance with Lan Lingcang, Di Tian had flown around the world and discovered other continents inhabited by soul masters and soul beasts. The Sun Moon Continent left the strongest impression on him 45.
Appearance
Di Tian’s humanoid form resembles a tall, slender middle-aged man with a cold, stern face. He wears black robes and retains visible dragon features 39.
- Eyes: Golden pupils 39.
- Dragon features: Black horns on his forehead and large black wings on his back 39.
- Clothing detail: Dark-gold dragon patterns embroidered on his robe’s cuffs 82.
- Half-dragon form: Black scales cover his body, his horns extend, and his wings unfurl as his pressure intensifies 54.
- True form: A thousand-meter-long black dragon 50 82 85.
Personality
Di Tian initially judges other clans by their strength and practical value. He refuses to help the newly born Blue Silver Emperor because he considers the Blue Silver clan too weak and its healing abilities inferior to those of Bi Ji’s Emerald Swan clan. He watches the first tribulation coldly, expecting Lan Lingcang to fail 5.
His pride is tempered by an ability to recognize superior strength. After his Dragon God Claw only draws against Lan Lingcang’s elemental attack, he openly concedes that a prolonged battle would end in his defeat. He later approaches Lan Lingcang for help with his own tribulation, explicitly acknowledging that Lan Lingcang has become stronger than him 55 82.
Although he advocates attacking the human soul-master world, his fear of the God Realm limits his confidence. Lan Lingcang’s proposal to secure an independent future for soul beasts gives him a new sense of hope; the prospect of healing the Silver Dragon King strengthens that hope further 45 87.
He is particularly protective of the Imperial Auspicious Beast. When Lan Lingcang suggests that she might eventually transform into a human, Di Tian immediately rejects her involvement in the God Creation Project 50.
Abilities & Skills
Ultimate Darkness
- Wields the primordial power of the dark element, distinct from the chaotic Evil attribute of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger 52.
- Is highly sensitive to dark and evil auras, allowing him to detect the changes in Lan Lingcang’s bloodline 52.
- Channels concentrated darkness into powerful sword attacks 85.
Dragon Forms and Physical Resilience
- Assumes a half-dragon state to increase his power during combat 54.
- Uses his thousand-meter Black Dragon True Form to withstand heavenly tribulations with his formidable physique 50 82.
- Can still suffer burns, damaged wings, broken scales, and internal injuries; repeated tribulation assistance requires recovery time 41 50 55 85.
Black Dragon Sword Techniques
- Black Dragon Heaven-Breaking Slash: Releases a massive black sword beam. Its aftermath wounds Lan Lingcang even after he avoids the main attack 53.
- Black Dragon Sword: Heaven-Shattering Slash: Strikes the remnants of Lan Lingcang’s eighth tribulation thunder dragon at the Capital of Slaughter 85.
- Can shatter individual tribulation bolts, though stronger bolts can break through his sword beams 41.
Dragon God Claw
Di Tian’s ultimate trump card is a divine skill bestowed by the Dragon God 54 55.
- Contains a trace of divine power and manifests a destructive claw phantom 54 55.
- Tears spatial fissures along the paths of its claw tips 55.
- Is used against both powerful opponents and heavenly tribulations 50 54 85.
- Only achieves a draw against Lan Lingcang’s fused elemental dragon; Di Tian treats this result as his own defeat 55.
Dragon Breath
- Uses dragon breath against the final thunder dragon of Lan Lingcang’s 400,000-year tribulation 41.
- The tribulation leaves him wounded despite its successful conclusion 41.
Bloodline Pressure
- A fraction of his released aura forces hundred-thousand-year soul beasts—including the Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python, and Xiao Wu—to the ground 39.
- His dragon might particularly suppresses the Azure Bull Python, whose trace of True Dragon blood makes him sensitive to Di Tian’s bloodline 39.
- Suppresses Xiong Jun through his superior cultivation 42.
Ancient Dragon Tongue
- Channels soul power and chants in the ancient dragon tongue to awaken the Silver Dragon King beneath the Lake of Life 86.
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Black Dragon Sword — A pitch-black blade with dark-gold edge patterns and an intensely concentrated darkness aura; used in combat and tribulation defense 41 53 85.
- Immortal herb — Supplied by Lan Lingcang. Together with his tribulation assistance, it helps raise Di Tian’s cultivation to 890,000 years; its complete refinement precedes his 900,000-year breakthrough 50 82.
Relationships
- Lan Lingcang — Initially a suspicious outsider, later a trusted ally and stronger combatant. Their partnership centers on reciprocal tribulation assistance and improving the future of soul beasts 39 40 45 55 82 87.
- Silver Dragon King / Gu Yuena — His Master. He investigates Lan Lingcang’s possession of her bloodline, later awakens her, and vouches for his trustworthiness before she accepts treatment 39 86 87.
- Bi Ji — A fellow fierce beast whose healing restores Di Tian and Lan Lingcang after their joint tribulation defense 41.
- Xiong Jun — A fierce beast subject to Di Tian’s authority; Di Tian suppresses him when he confronts Lan Lingcang 42.
- Imperial Auspicious Beast — Regards her as the forest’s future hope because her awakening will improve cultivation speed and tribulation survival. Refuses to let her join the God Creation Project 50.
- Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm — A captive resource at the Lake of Life. Di Tian permits Lan Lingcang to take him to strengthen A-Yin 46 48.
- Snow Empress and Ice Empress — Questions their involvement with Lan Lingcang, explaining that the Star Dou fierce beasts have also joined the Blue Silver Sect 75.
- Qian Daoliu — Drawn into Di Tian’s tribulation when it is deliberately triggered above the Worship Hall, forcing him to protect the site 82.

From Observer to Ally

- Six Blue Silver Kings: Initially dismisses the clan’s further tribulations, then is stunned when six occur within two days 26.
- Bloodline investigation: Confronts the injured Lan Lingcang after sensing the Silver Dragon King’s aura and recognizing the Silver Dragon Spear’s influence in his weapon 39.

Tribulation Partnership and Duel
- Repeated assistance: Helps Lan Lingcang reach 700,000 years through three tribulations in four months. The need for Di Tian to recover prevents the proposed monthly schedule from continuing smoothly 50.
- 800,000-year tribulation: Recognizes that the final strike is approaching 900,000-year strength and tries to intervene, but is too late 51.

- Capital of Slaughter: Supports Lan Lingcang during his own 900,000-year tribulation, contributing to the destruction of the city. The event attracts the Asura God’s attention 85 86.
- Awakening the Master: Once Lan Lingcang reaches 990,000 years, awakens the Silver Dragon King and presents him as a possible healer 86.
- Vouching for treatment: Defends Lan Lingcang’s record of cooperation and absence of betrayal, helping persuade the Silver Dragon King to allow treatment of her divine soul 87.
