Zi Ji Enters the Rankings, Demon Dragon Knight

Star Dou Great Forest, Life Lake.

Seeing her good friend Bi Ji make the list, Zi Ji felt a sense of relief in her heart.

Her own strength was greater than Bi Ji's, and her cultivation within the dreamscape was far more frantic than Bi Ji's as well.

Making the list was only a matter of time; if Di Tian found out, then so be it!

"Zi Ji, what's wrong? You don't look so well." Di Tian's voice came from behind her.

Zi Ji collected her thoughts and turned around.

Seeing Di Tian looking at her with such concern, a flash of guilt crossed Zi Ji's heart.

But it vanished in an instant!

It was all Brother Cao's fault for being so overbearing; even with her dragon-kin physique, she couldn't best him and had been thoroughly conquered!

Their dragon race had always revered the strong, so she couldn't be blamed for this, right?

Besides, it was only a dream; that didn't count as cheating!

At this moment, Di Tian hadn't even considered the Golden List, as in his mind, Zi Ji only possessed less than three hundred thousand years of cultivation.

Both of them were of the dragon race—one the patriarch of the Hell Demon Dragon clan, the other the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—a match made in heaven.

Di Tian had never once imagined that Zi Ji would betray him!

Di Tian didn't think too much into it, casting his gaze back toward the Sky Screen and sighing softly: "It is fortunate that Bi Ji did not betray the soul beast clan. I hope her ultimate life force can heal the Lord. The strength of human soul masters has surged; only if the Lord recovers her full power will there be hope to resist."

Zi Ji stood to the side, silent, thinking to herself: Still talking about the Lord? The Silver Dragon King has already become my good sister, and along with Bi Ji, we often lay everything bare in our dreams.

I hope Di Tian won't have a breakdown when he finds out!

Just then, the Sky Screen updated once more.

In the image, a terrifying, deep-purple demon dragon coiled and soared into the sky. Its massive body blotted out the sun, and it was wreathed in Abyssal Demon Fire that scorched and warped the very space around it.

That majestic, domineering, and peerless sense of power made every living creature that beheld the scene tremble.

Immediately after, purple light flared!

The massive demon dragon transformed into a streak of light, slowly condensing into a slender figure.

Her posture was enchanting, her curves exquisite, and a cascade of long, purple-black hair fell like a waterfall.

Her eyes were deep purple, and even her lips were a bright, vivid violet—bewitching and dangerous.

On her forehead, a scale as black as ink rippled with layers of purple halos, adding a touch of mystery and nobility to her appearance.

It was none other than Zi Ji!

[Combat Power Ranking, Eighth Place: Zi Ji.]

[Identity: One of the Ten Great Fierce Beasts, Patriarch of the Hell Demon Dragon clan (can switch freely between human and soul beast forms).]

[Strength: 990,000 years.]

[Techniques: Yin-Yang Reincarnation Technique, Heavenly Demon Chaotic Dance.]

[Rewards: Teleportation Talisman x10, can teleport to any location on the Douluo Continent; cultivation age increased by 10,000 years, exemption from Heavenly Tribulation; Divine Skill, Hell World-Extinguishing Claw.]

BOOM!!!

A golden pillar of light descended from the heavens, completely enveloping Zi Ji's enchanting figure.

Zi Ji closed her eyes, feeling the surging power within her body and the profound mystery of the Divine Skill. The Hell World-Extinguishing Claw—a single strike could extinguish the world.

A bewitching yet dangerous curve slowly formed at the corners of her mouth.

Originally, Zi Ji was second only to Di Tian among the dragon race, but there had been a massive gap in their cultivation.

Ever since meeting Brother Cao, Zi Ji's cultivation had gradually caught up to Di Tian's.

Now, having received the reward from the Sky Screen, she had surpassed him entirely.

The dragon race's tendency to admire the strong caused a massive psychological shift in Zi Ji; she no longer respected Di Tian as a "weakling."

"BOOM!"

Zi Ji snapped her eyes open, two vortices spinning within her purple irises.

She looked down at her own hands, the smile on her lips growing more intense.

Then, she raised her head and looked at Di Tian.

Zi Ji said calmly: "Di Tian, the Sky Screen has bestowed upon me a new Divine Skill. I want to test it out—to see if your Dragon God Claw is sharper, or if my Hell World-Extinguishing Claw is stronger."

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire scene was shocked!

Upon hearing this, Di Tian's golden vertical pupils contracted sharply.

He could no longer concern himself with anger; he could already feel that his lover's mindset had undergone a massive change.

That gaze, that tone, that posture—she was a completely different person from the gentle, water-like Zi Ji in his memories.

No more words were needed.

As the co-ruler of the soul beasts and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, he would never allow anyone to challenge his authority.

"Come then, let me see this so-called Hell World-Extinguishing Claw."

Zi Ji let out a sharp cry, and a brilliant purple light erupted from her entire body!

She flashed above Di Tian's head as if teleporting.

Di Tian's pupils constricted violently. So fast!

Zi Ji thrust her right hand out, and her slender, fair palm transformed in that instant into a hideous dragon claw wreathed in Abyssal Demon Fire!

A terrifying, despair-inducing abyssal aura burst forth like a volcanic eruption!

"Hell World-Extinguishing Claw!"

Seeing this, Di Tian narrowed his golden vertical pupils.

So strong! He dared not be careless and thrust his own right hand out!

"Dragon God Claw!"

"BOOM!!!"

The two terrifying dragon claws collided fiercely in mid-air!

In an instant, the world lost its color! A horrific energy storm swept in all directions, tearing space into shreds!

The lake surface exploded, sending massive waves surging into the sky!

Even the Great Beasts like Xiong Jun and the King of Ten Thousand Demons were forced back repeatedly by the shockwaves, their faces deathly pale.

When the storm finally subsided.

Di Tian was seen lying on the ground, twitching slightly.

His right hand was twisted and torn, dripping with blood, with dragon scales scattered all over the ground.

His golden dragon eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Zi Ji... you..." His voice was hoarse and incredibly weak.

Zi Ji looked down at him from above, her enchanting face devoid of any expression.

"The Dragon God Claw is nothing more than this."

"As for the position of the Soul Beast Co-Master, why not let..."

"Pfft!" Di Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ground beneath him red.

It was not because of his injuries, but because of his broken heart.

His lover, his partner, the Zi Ji he thought he would spend his entire life with, had been dallying with a human.

And now, she actually wanted to usurp his position.

Xiong Jun and the other Great Beasts were completely stunned.

Since when had Zi Ji become so powerful? Was she actually trying to seize the position of Soul Beast Co-Master?

Just then.

"Enough."

The figure of the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, slowly emerged.

"Bi Ji, treat Di Tian's wounds."

Bi Ji hurried forward, emerald-green light of life gathering in her palms, which she gently placed over Di Tian's injured right hand.

Gu Yuena looked at Zi Ji: "Zi Ji, Di Tian has devoted himself entirely to the soul beast clan; he is a qualified Co-Master. You are to withdraw and are forbidden from interfering in this matter."

Zi Ji bowed slightly: "Yes, Master!"

Although in the dream Zi Ji and the Silver Dragon King were sisters, in reality, she could not defy her orders.

This was the way of the soul beasts: the strong were to be respected.

She turned around, transformed into a streak of purple light, and vanished into the hidden depths.

Gu Yuena gazed in the direction where she had disappeared and let out a soft sigh.

This Brother Cao is simply insatiable!

Is having me, the Silver Dragon King, not enough?

He has even corrupted both Bi Ji and Zi Ji!

Thinking of the scenes from the dream—the two dragons playing with the pearl, the three phoenixes fighting over the wood—her face burned with shame!
