After that, the menial disciple kicked the spirit dog on the ground, then turned his head and glared viciously at Qian Renxue, who lay collapsed on the altar.

"Hurry up and throw that winged woman into the furnace too."

He waved at the Formation Puppets beside him.

"The light attribute in her body is still fairly pure. Hopefully, she can be refined into two mid-grade Incense Pills and make up for my damn losses."

Qian Renxue stared at the ghostly green flames drawing closer and closer.

She thought back to all those days and nights she had spent lurking in disguise to seize the Heaven Dou Empire.

She thought back to the endless sweat she had shed and the proud dignity she had sacrificed to pass the Angel God's trials.

All of it, in this cold cultivation world, was worth only two pills meant to be fed to a dog.

Two expressionless Formation Puppets stepped forward and seized Qian Renxue by the arms, one on each side.

The rough black iron hooks mercilessly pierced through her fair shoulder blades.

"Ah!"

Blood sprayed, and Qian Renxue immediately let out a scream.

She was hoisted high into the air and hung from an iron chain on the outermost edge of the great formation.

The ghostly green flames climbed up along the chain and instantly ignited her body.

That burning agony striking straight into the depths of her soul made her truly understand what it meant to be trapped in a purgatory where she could neither live nor die.

Outside the Sky Screen, the civilians and low-level soul masters of Spirit City all covered their eyes, no longer daring to look.

Many people could not even withstand the collapse of their faith and fell to the ground, vomiting on the spot.

The holy land in their hearts, the sacred angel they believed in—

Just like that, under the gaze of the entire world, she had become fuel inside a massive machine.

Along with Qian Renxue's gradually weakening wails within the Nether Fire, the light on the Sky Screen changed once more, announcing the end of her tragedy.

[Seventh batch of explorers, second member deceased.] [World law information collection progress: abnormally slow.]

The blood-red light in the sky violently contracted and expanded.

[Warning: the Douluo Plane's individual combat strength is too low and cannot deeply trigger the target world's laws.] [Activating special batch selection immediately!] [This selection will remove planar restrictions and directly extract the strongest energy aggregates in the current world.] [Due to increased data requirements, two additional slots have been added to this selection, for a total of five people!]

Cold, blood-colored characters condensed into shape across the firmament, stroke by stroke.

With every name that appeared, monstrous waves were stirred up throughout the entire Douluo universe.

[First: Douluo God Realm, God Realm Enforcer, God of Life!] [Second: Douluo God Realm, First-level God, Angel God!]

The moment these two lines appeared, the lofty Douluo God Realm was thrown into complete chaos.

Inside the God Realm Committee, the God of Destruction's eyes nearly split with rage as he desperately tried to hold on to the green-dressed woman beside him.

That bloodlight representing a higher-dimensional will ignored every defensive formation of the God Realm and steadily enveloped the God of Life and the current Angel God in the distance.

Immediately after, the third name surfaced.

[Third: Demon Whale Sea Area, million-year soul beast, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King!]

In the depths of the sea, a terrifying beast as massive as a mountain let out a despairing roar, its enormous body forcibly dragged out of the ocean by the bloodlight.

[Fourth: Star Dou Great Forest, eight-hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Beast God Di Tian!]

At the bottom of the Lake of Life, a pair of golden dragon eyes snapped open, and the Dark Black Dragon King's majestic body flew uncontrollably toward the sky.

[Fifth: Far North, Twin Rulers of the Far North, Ice Empress, Snow Empress!]

The blizzard in the Far North froze in an instant.

Two peerlessly graceful figures, dragged by the bloodlight, had no choice but to shoot up into the sky.

[Preparations complete. Beginning transfer!]

Five blood-colored pillars of light so thick they were beyond imagination instantly pierced through the God Realm and the mortal world.

The peak power aggregates of the Douluo Plane were thus forcibly cast into that unfathomable cultivation universe.

The image on the Sky Screen distorted.

The camera first locked onto the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Beast God Di Tian.

After a violent bout of spatial tearing, Di Tian slammed heavily onto a stretch of dark-red "land."

He possessed the purest bloodline of the Dark Black Dragon King. In terms of physical strength alone, he was enough to rival a god.

The moment he landed, he felt an indescribably terrifying pressure come down on his back like a hundred thousand mountains.

"What the hell is this place?"

Di Tian struggled to climb to his feet, his golden dragon eyes warily scanning his surroundings.

The space around him was a strange dark red.

When he looked up, the dome above was formed entirely from layer upon layer of thick, dark-red flesh walls.

Those flesh walls were covered in dark-red patterns as thick as water vats.

The patterns were still pulsing in rhythm, producing dull, thunderous booms. "Thud, thud, thud."

With every pulse, a surge of majestic blood energy, almost condensed into solid form, erupted outward.

Di Tian was horrified to discover that the "ground" beneath his feet felt extremely strange—soft, yet filled with astonishing toughness.

Beside him was a surging long river, and what flowed within it was golden blood that radiated scalding heat.

The Bloodline Power contained in that golden blood was so immense that even a single drop scooped out at random would be enough to make a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast burst.

All the black dragon scales on Di Tian's body stood on end.

As a top-tier soul beast, his perception of blood energy far surpassed that of humans.

He suddenly realized a terrifying fact that made even his soul tremble.

He was not standing on real earth at all.

He had clearly been transported into the body of some unimaginably enormous creature!

Those domes were the creature's flesh and tissue.

Those pulsing patterns were the creature's blood vessels.

That surging golden river was merely a tiny capillary inside the creature's body.

This massive corpse, which had been dead for who knew how many tens of thousands of years, still held such lingering pressure within it that even an eight-hundred-thousand-year Beast God found it difficult to breathe.

Of course, Di Tian did not know the term "Ancient God."

But he understood very clearly that a creature of this scale could completely flatten Douluo Planet with a single breath.

Just as Di Tian's heart was pounding wildly.

From deep within this dark-red world of flesh and blood, a strange sound suddenly came, enough to make one's hair stand on end.

The sound carried an eerie whisper from the ancient void.

Along with that whispering, the enormous flesh wall ahead suddenly began to writhe violently.

The vague forms of enormous tentacles covered in dark-purple suckers flickered in and out of sight within the blood mist.

An aura of devouring, greedier and more violent than even this Ancient God's body, was slowly awakening.

It was Wangyue, a strange cosmic beast that fed specifically on Ancient God flesh.

Before that aura, the pure dragon bloodline Di Tian took such pride in instantly shrank into a ball in terror.

He, the dignified Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, actually felt a lowly urge to kneel and beg for mercy.

The image on the Sky Screen froze in that dark-red world of flesh and blood.

Amid those eerie whispers from the ancient void, all the blood in Di Tian's body nearly solidified.

He stared fixedly at the enormous flesh wall ahead that was writhing madly.

The dark-purple tentacle finally revealed its true form from within the dense blood mist.

How was that a tentacle?

When that thing fully appeared before Di Tian, the dragon brain he was so proud of instantly went blank.

Too big.

So big that it surpassed the limits of what any living being on Douluo Continent could comprehend.

Even the tallest mountain in the Star Dou Great Forest that towered into the clouds was nothing more than a thin strand of hair before this tentacle.

Even more despairing was the fact that this was only one of the tens of millions of tentacles belonging to that terrifying giant beast.

As the tentacle moved, the strange cosmic beast known as "Wangyue" slowly squeezed out from the depths of the Ancient God's body.

Its body was like a boundless dark-purple continent.

Its skin was covered in pits of all sizes and mucus that flowed with a bizarre stench.

In front of Wangyue, Di Tian, who had revealed the true form of an eight-hundred-thousand-year Black Dragon King, was so tiny that he did not even count as a speck of dust.

This was absolute suppression by sheer size.

Di Tian's thousand-zhang dragon body, which he had always been so proud of, could not draw even the slightest bit of attention on Wangyue's fleshly disk, vast as a star.

"Roar!"

Di Tian let out a dragon howl filled with fear and unwillingness.

He frantically drove the ultimate power of darkness within him.

Black dragon breath turned into a pillar of destructive light and blasted viciously toward one of Wangyue's tentacles.

It was an all-out strike powerful enough to tear space apart and destroy cities on Douluo Continent.

Yet when it landed on Wangyue's dark-purple hide, it did not even send up a single spark.

Wangyue did not notice it had been attacked at all.

It merely took it for some tiny fluctuation of air somewhere inside the Ancient God's body.

Wangyue's abyssal maw, packed with dense, fine fangs, suddenly opened wide and bit savagely toward one of the Ancient God's main blood vessels.

An irresistible, terrifying suction force, accompanied by a wild gale that seemed able to devour heaven and earth, swept through this space of flesh and blood in an instant.

Before that suction, Di Tian's massive true form as a Black Dragon was like a fallen leaf in a storm.

He desperately beat his dragon wings, trying to steady himself.

But every struggle was futile.

Along with countless shattered pieces of the Ancient God's flesh and blood, Di Tian was swept up by the violent turbulence and sucked straight toward Wangyue's boundless, colossal body.

Bang!

Di Tian slammed heavily onto a stretch of hard, dark-purple ground.

He spat out a huge mouthful of dragon blood, and he had no idea how many bones in his body had broken.

He struggled to open his eyes and found that he had not been swallowed into Wangyue's belly.

That turbulence just now had slapped him into a huge fold on the surface of Wangyue's body.

To Wangyue, this fold might have been nothing more than an insignificant line in its skin.

But to Di Tian, it was a vast, bottomless canyon.

On both sides of the canyon stood towering dark-purple walls of flesh.

A turbid mucus that gave off a pungent stench flowed across the ground.

Di Tian lay in the mucus, gasping for breath in great gulps.

His eyes were filled with the relief of surviving disaster, as well as a humiliation he had never felt before.

As the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, when had he ever been reduced to such a sorry state?

On Douluo Continent, he was the lofty Beast God, worshiped by all beasts.

But here, he was not even qualified to be this giant beast's enemy.

He was like a tiny flea clinging to the back of a colossal elephant.

No, he was not even as good as a flea.

This monster named Wangyue was simply too enormous, so enormous that even treating one of the pores on its body as a cave to live in would feel spacious.

Di Tian completely understood his current situation.

He was no longer some noble Black Dragon King.

Right now, he was merely a parasite on this terrifying giant beast's body!

Outside the Sky Screen.

Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life.

The Emerald Swan Bi Ji covered her mouth, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear Xiong Jun clenched his fists until they cracked, hammering the ground in fury.

"My lord..."

"How can our noble lord suffer such humiliation!"

All the high-level soul beasts of the entire Star Dou Great Forest sank into indescribable grief and rage.

They had watched with their own eyes as their king was utterly ignored by a monster from a higher-dimensional world, flung like a piece of trash into a fold of skin.

On Sea God Island, Tang San tightened his grip on the illusory Sea God Trident.

Looking at the giant beast in the light screen, he felt that the hidden weapons and soul skills he had always taken such pride in had become an enormous joke.

Before absolute mass, any technique seemed so pale and powerless.

In the image, Di Tian did not give up.

Eight hundred thousand long years had given him a will far tougher than any human's.

"As long as I'm alive, there's hope."

Di Tian gritted his teeth and endured the agony as he began slowly crawling through this dark-purple "canyon."

He needed energy to repair his severely wounded dragon body.

He turned his gaze to the turbid mucus on the ground.

This mucus was residue secreted from Wangyue's pores as it devoured the Ancient God's flesh and blood.

Mixed within it were Wangyue's own savage aura, along with faint traces of Ancient God blood and vitality.

Di Tian lowered his noble head.

He opened his dragon mouth and carefully licked up a mouthful of the mucus on the ground.

Boom!

An unimaginably savage energy exploded down his throat in an instant.

Di Tian's body convulsed violently.

He felt as if all his internal organs were being burned by raging flames.

This energy was too high-level, too domineering.

Even dregs among dregs would be enough to make an ordinary Titled Douluo explode and die.

But the Black Dragon bloodline within Di Tian revealed its tenacious vitality at that moment.

The power of darkness circulated madly, desperately digesting this hard-won sliver of energy.

Slowly, the shattered black dragon scales on Di Tian's body began to fall away.

Replacing them was a layer of newly grown scales that gleamed with a dark purple luster.

On those scales, there was actually the faint aura of Wangyue.

He discovered that as long as he absorbed this mucus, his body could gradually adapt to this terrifying environment.

Not only that, the strength of his physical body was even undergoing a mutation that broke the rules of Douluo.

A trace of madness and defiance flashed through Di Tian's golden vertical pupils.

"Since you ignore me..."

"Then I'll cling to your body, suck your blood, and eat your scraps!"

"One day, I will make you, monster, understand that the Black Dragon clan is not to be trifled with!"

Di Tian completely cast aside his former pride and dignity.

Like a true beast, he began struggling to survive within the folds on Wangyue's surface.

Time seemed to have lost its original measure here.

Dragging his battered yet constantly strengthening body, Di Tian continued forward along the patterns of Wangyue's surface.

He soon discovered that Wangyue's body was practically an independent miniature world.

Here, the terrain was complex and ever-changing.

There were towering mountains of flesh, the tiny protrusions on Wangyue's skin.

There were abyssal valleys with no visible bottom, the huge pores that Wangyue had opened.

On this vast "land," he was not the only foreign parasite.

While climbing over a huge fleshy ridge, Di Tian encountered his first deadly crisis since coming here.

A strange bug the size of a small mountain crawled out from a fleshy crack.

The strange bug was ghastly white all over, covered in mouthparts as sharp as blades.

It was clearly some sort of void parasitic creature that had been drawn to Wangyue's surface along with the Ancient God's flesh.

Although it was only a bottom-tier Void Bug, the aura it emitted actually far surpassed the peerless Douluo of Douluo Continent.
