At the sound of the voice, everyone turned to look. The Silver-Clad Girl, who had recovered, abruptly opened her eyes. Killing intent surged in her gaze, and she opened her mouth to let out a sharp, furious roar:
"Kill!"
But that vicious aura vanished in an instant. She suddenly clutched her head and curled up as a fierce headache swept through her body. Her pretty face turned deathly pale and contorted with pain as she screamed:
"Ahhh!" Her eyes were filled with confusion and disorientation.
Just then, Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and Ye Guyi hurried forward, reaching the girl's side in an instant.
Seeing her suffering from an agonizing headache, her expression full of misery, Bo Saixi couldn't help feeling compassion. She gently raised her hand, and warm, pure Life force slowly swirled around the girl, seeping into her meridians and soul to gradually soothe her intense pain.
When the girl's expression had eased somewhat, Bo Saixi gently asked, "What's your name?"
The girl abruptly froze at the question. Her eyes were vacant and dazed as she repeated in a bewildered murmur, "What's my name? What's my name..."
"This...!"
Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi exchanged a glance. Both remembered a frightening possibility: the girl had suffered a head injury and might have lost her memories.
With no other choice, Bo Saixi could only gently comfort the Silver-Clad Girl. "If you can't remember, don't force yourself!"
Qian Daoliu could only hope that time would heal the Silver-Clad Girl's memory loss.
Just as everyone was preparing to take the Silver-Clad Girl with them and care for her, deep in the distant heart of the Star Dou Great Forest, thick black mist churned and rolled.
A black dragon covered in black scales, its golden eyes slit vertically, was roused by the traces of battle left in the area.
In the next instant, it transformed into a man dressed in black and crossed through space, appearing above Qian Daoliu, Bo Saixi, and the others.
A dark, overwhelming pressure suddenly descended upon the entire area. Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi immediately sensed the strange, oppressive aura, and their hearts tightened in unison.
Both were among the foremost Limit Douluo of their age. Their understanding of each other was long since seamless; a single glance was enough for them to settle on a plan.
With a grave expression, Qian Daoliu instructed Bo Saixi in a low voice, "Saixi, protect everyone and get them out of here. I'll deal with him!"
As his words fell, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul surged into being around him with a thunderous roar.
He flew into the air and faced the man in black from a distance.
"I am Qian Daoliu. May I ask why you bear us such hostility?"
Qian Daoliu didn't wait for the man in black to make a move. He addressed him first.
High above, the black-clad figure's robes fluttered in the wind, dark mist swirling around him.
He could clearly sense the unfathomably terrifying cultivation within Qian Daoliu. The man's extreme Soul Power pressure left no room for underestimating him, and his expression instantly grew grave.
He lowered his eyes slightly and spoke in a cold, deep voice, carrying the unique majesty of a Beast God. "I am Beast God Di Tian. May I ask why you killed the high-ranked Soul Beasts of my Star Dou Great Forest?"
"Beast God Di Tian?"
Qian Daoliu searched his memories for everything he knew about Beast God Di Tian and recalled that he was the king of the Soul Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Qian Daoliu's expression grew even more solemn.
Especially after sensing how unfathomable Di Tian's cultivation was.
Qian Daoliu didn't dare let his guard down.
He hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Bo Saixi. "Saixi, take Yiyi and the others away first!"
Bo Saixi didn't hesitate. She simply said to Qian Daoliu, "Qian Daoliu, for the sake of our child, if you can't win, run!"
"Don't forget, you're invincible in the sky!"
At that, Qian Daoliu's mouth twitched slightly, but he still quietly replied, "Mm!"
Then, under the watchful eyes of Qian Daoliu and Di Tian, Bo Saixi led everyone away.
Ye Guyi still wanted to ask Bo Saixi, "Auntie Saixi, is that man strong? Will the Old Ancestor be all right?"
Bo Saixi reassured everyone. "Don't worry. That man in black is strong, but Qian Daoliu isn't a pushover!"
"Let's get out of here first. Don't distract him!"
But inwardly, Bo Saixi was still praying for Qian Daoliu. "Qian Daoliu, for the sake of our child, you absolutely must come back alive!"
After Bo Saixi, Ye Guyi, and the others had left,
Di Tian said to Qian Daoliu, "All right, your people are gone!"
"Now you owe me an explanation. Why did you kill the high-ranked Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. "Humans hunting Soul Beasts to improve their cultivation is only natural. Why should I explain myself to you?"
"Besides, when humans hunt Soul Beasts, Soul Beasts hunt humans too!"
"Take the recent incident, for example. Didn't the Soul Beasts of your Star Dou Great Forest slaughter everyone in Shrek City?"
At that, Di Tian burst into laughter:
"Hahahaha!"
"So, you call it only natural!"
"Then you'll stay here today, too!"
With that, the Ferocious Beast Di Tian stopped holding back.
Di Tian's furious roar echoed across heaven and earth. The black mist around him suddenly exploded, and an immense black radiance shot into the sky.
His body swelled violently. Layer upon layer of black scales covered him, and his fearsome dragon horns pierced the clouds as he transformed into a colossal black dragon, tens of thousands of meters long.
The dark, domineering Black Dragon Domain spread in an instant, sealing the space in every direction as terrifying dragon might crushed the surroundings.
Then his enormous claw shot across the sky. His golden, slit pupils gleamed with icy light as the devastatingly sharp Dragon King Claw, wrapped in destructive power, tore toward Qian Daoliu with enough force to rend heaven and earth!
Of course, Qian Daoliu wasn't about to sit back and await his death.
His god-level Six-Winged Angel spread its wings wide with a thunderous roar, and clear, sacred white light swept across heaven and earth.
"Seventh Soul Skill—Angel True Body!" His ultimate Angel Domain spread out with a roar, meeting the Black Dragon Domain head-on.
At the same time, Qian Daoliu decisively unleashed his killing move. "Ninth Soul Skill—Breath of the Angel!"
A pure, blazing beam of sacred light tore through the sky and struck straight at the black dragon.
The sacred element's suppression of darkness erupted in an instant. Di Tian's enormous black dragon body shuddered violently. Painful numbness spread across his black scales, and a bone-chilling dread swept through him. His pupils contracted as he roared, "Sacred power!"
At the critical moment, he released all his power. The domineering Dragon God Claw slammed forward, tearing apart Qian Daoliu's Angel's Breath with a torrent of dark energy!
"Dragon God Claw! Qian Daoliu, die!"
The moment Di Tian used the Dragon God Claw, he had already sentenced Qian Daoliu to death.
As a Limit Douluo, he knew all too well that in this world, no one could withstand a strike from the Dragon God except a god.
Just as Di Tian's eyes filled with the certainty of victory and he believed he had sentenced Qian Daoliu to death, the battlefield suddenly changed!
Qian Daoliu knew that the sacred power of the Six-Winged Angel alone could never stand against the Dragon God Claw of Beast God Di Tian at the height of his power.
He no longer held back any of his trump cards. Purple light surged from his palm, and a Destruction Scepter wreathed in deep purple radiance appeared in an instant. It was his Second Martial Soul.
The sacred white feathers of the angel's wings were rapidly stained and consumed by violent, dark purple Destruction. The holy light faded, and wicked, overbearing destructive power swept across the battlefield. He underwent a complete transformation, becoming an ultimate angel who wielded Destruction.
Qian Daoliu's eyes blazed as he poured all his divine power into a devastating strike. "First Soul Skill—Destruction of All Things!"
A terrifying flood of Destruction surged forth and crashed violently against Di Tian's Dragon God Claw. The two ultimate forces tore at heaven and earth and shook the sky. Their fierce clash held in a stalemate for a moment, neither side able to gain the upper hand!
"Impossible! How could you possess the God of Destruction's Super Divine Artifact?!"
The battle's tide had suddenly turned. Di Tian, one of the combatants, roared at the sky.
