Although he had not met Di Tian directly this time, the brief pressure he had sensed earlier was enough for him to understand Di Tian's strength.
If they encountered him head-on, Yi Yi would definitely not be Di Tian's match. Defeat would be inevitable.
After all, Di Tian had cultivated for more than eight hundred thousand years, and his species was powerful as well. His combat strength was no joke.
Jing Chen even felt that, without the God Realm's restrictions on Soul Beasts, Di Tian might have become a god long ago.
Against such a Ferocious Beast who had already reached the ceiling of power below godhood in this world, Yi Yi was still no match for him.
He was also glad that they had not encountered Di Tian. Di Tian excelled at spatial abilities; if he had been there, it was unknown whether he would have discovered Jing Chen hiding inside the Time and Space Divine Tower.
If they were discovered after hiding in the Time and Space Divine Tower, it would be the end for both him and Yi Yi.
After they entered the Time and Space Divine Tower, the tower, reduced to the size of a grain of sand, could still be destroyed. He had tested this before and could confirm it.
Just imagine it: if they hid inside the Time and Space Divine Tower and Di Tian found them, then shattered it, what would become of them?
"This was really rather dangerous." Thinking of this, Jing Chen looked back at the forest with lingering fear.
After this incident, he would not dare bring Yi Yi into the forest's Core Zone again anytime soon.
Yi Yi's large-scale devouring of Soul Beasts had already become known to those Ferocious Beasts and drawn their special attention.
If they still dared to come here, they would need to be mentally prepared for the possibility of encountering Di Tian.
For now, the number one Ferocious Beast remained an almost unsolvable existence to them.
If they truly faced him, the chance of death would be high. To be safe, they should not take risks lightly.
"Although you don't have a spiritual attribute, your Spiritual Power is extraordinary. You should be able to withstand part of my spiritual force's impact."
A sudden voice sounded beside Jing Chen's ear. The speaker's excitement was obvious from his tone.
"Hm?" Jing Chen, riding atop Yi Yi, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, whose body was already over five meters long, narrowed his eyes slightly.
Because he was wary of Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts, his nerves had been tightly wound. The voice startled him, and he thought Di Tian and the others had discovered them.
Only after hearing the specific content of the words did he relax. If it had been Di Tian or the other Ferocious Beasts, they would not have spoken like that.
"Wait, spiritual attribute?" After savoring those words, Jing Chen was suddenly startled and hurriedly told Yi Yi to stop.
Jing Chen jumped down from Yi Yi's back and carefully scanned his surroundings, trying to find the owner of the voice. He was still rather excited.
Those words had made him think of a Soul Beast—one with an extremely high cultivation and one that could be of great help to him.
"Huh? How can you be together with a Soul Beast, and have such a... harmonious relationship?" The voice sounded again, this time filled more with surprise.
Because through his senses, he had discovered that the Black Tiger Soul Beast was obediently staying beside this human child, without the slightest hint of savagery.
He could sense that this Black Tiger Soul Beast was extremely evil. Logically speaking, it should not treat a human this way.
This was strange—absurd, even—and for a moment, he had forgotten his real business.
Jing Chen had no intention of answering and instead asked, "Who are you?"
"Good question." The owner of the voice praised him, then introduced himself in a narcissistic tone:
"I am the incarnation of heroism and chivalry, the Soul Beast king of kings with both wisdom and beauty, an unparalleled powerhouse—the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who has cultivated for a million years."
"Human brat, you're lucky to have encountered me, because I am about to choose you and make you the number one genius in this world."
Jing Chen deliberately put on a surprised expression, though inwardly he was rather speechless. If I didn't know your circumstances, you really might have fooled me.
Leaving aside all those embellishments, just the words "unparalleled powerhouse" alone made him wonder how Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had the nerve to say them.
Naturally, Jing Chen would not mock him now. His attention was focused on what Sky Dream Ice Silkworm had said afterward, and his heart grew heated.
"Choose me? How exactly are you going to choose me?" Jing Chen asked along with him, already beginning to look forward to it.
Encountering Sky Dream Ice Silkworm here had greatly exceeded his expectations, but it was undoubtedly a good thing for him.
"I will become your wisdom Soul Ring and grant you a powerful Soul Ring and Martial Soul." Sky Dream Ice Silkworm did not waste words and directly stated his purpose.
What mattered most to him now was testing whether this human brat could truly withstand his spiritual energy.
If he could, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm could explain the details later. But if he could not, explaining would be pointless and would only waste time.
After all, humans who could not endure it would suffer mental collapse and die. Wouldn't explaining it be the same as saying nothing?
Relying on his powerful Spiritual Power, he had been searching the forest for humans capable of withstanding his spiritual force.
Over the past several thousand years, Jing Chen was not the first human he had found. Before him, there had been many test subjects—or rather, failures.
After saying that, Sky Dream Ice Silkworm gave Jing Chen no chance to ask further questions and immediately tried to inject Spiritual Power into his mind.
He was testing Jing Chen, observing his reaction after receiving the Spiritual Power. Only if he met the requirements would Sky Dream Ice Silkworm reveal his true body.
Not only was Jing Chen not displeased by Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's direct approach, he silently approved of it. Being direct was good; it saved both sides time.
He had not forgotten that he was still in the forest's Core Zone. This was not a place to linger.
The sooner Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finished, the sooner he could slip away. Staying here left him with far too little sense of security.
"Yiyi!" Yi Yi bared his fangs fiercely and instinctively wanted to stand in front of Jing Chen, but Jing Chen stopped him.
Jing Chen signaled for Yi Yi not to move. He himself was expectant yet somewhat uneasy, worried that Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power might also be ineffective on him.
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's Spiritual Power had already arrived. Jing Chen could clearly feel the spiritual energy touch his brain, and then... disappear.
It had not entered his mind. It simply vanished without a sound, as though it had never existed.
"How is this possible?" Sky Dream Ice Silkworm's horrified voice sounded at the instant his Spiritual Power disappeared.
Seemingly afraid that he had made a mistake, he injected another trace of Spiritual Power into Jing Chen's mind.
The result was much the same as before. His Spiritual Power was annihilated by a powerful force.
That trace of Spiritual Power was negligible to him; otherwise, he would have suffered backlash from it.
"So it really happened." Jing Chen's mood immediately worsened, and he felt somewhat disappointed. His earlier guess had come true.
His Sea of Consciousness was rather unusual. Outside Spiritual Power simply could not enter it—not even the Spiritual Power of Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, a million-year Soul Beast.
