Six Ferocious Beasts

The pitch-black Dragon God Claw, wrapped in a towering tide of dark, baleful energy, crashed head-on into the raging torrent of Destruction. The heavens and earth shuddered! Two ultimate powers, black-and-white and purplish-black, clashed and tore at each other furiously. In an instant, blinding light exploded, shattering every mountain and forest for miles around.

A thunderous boom erupted. A terrifying shock wave swept across the land, sending clouds of dust billowing into the sky.

Qian Daoliu and Di Tian were both blasted backward by the tremendous force. They steadied themselves in midair, each dispersing the impact, their auras surging violently.

"Impressive! You truly are the king of the Star Dou Great Forest!"

Qian Daoliu forced himself to keep standing as he looked at the Beast God Di Tian, who had also been driven back, and voiced his admiration.

Beast God Di Tian's expression was grave as he began to calculate silently:

Damn human. How does he possess the power of Destruction?!

I can't let him wield the power of Destruction in the Star Dou Great Forest!

Otherwise, the entire Star Dou Great Forest will be buried with him!

As Di Tian spoke, several terrifying figures descended beside him before long.

The dust slowly settled. The moment the six auras were released, an overwhelming pressure swept over the area.

At the head of the group stood a giant bear, built like a mountain, its fur a deep, dusky bronze and its sharp claws glinting coldly.

Beside it stood a slender woman, her emerald hair falling in long waves, a lustrous green glow swirling around her.

In the middle stood a long-limbed monster, its entire body covered in dark purple scales, its gaze savage and fierce.

Another figure, scarlet-red, blazed like a ball of fire, its flames raging fiercely.

A hazy silhouette drifted uncertainly, faint shadows coiling around it, its form difficult to distinguish between real and illusory.

The last was a silver-haired woman, her hair cascading like a waterfall. Her skin was coldly pale, her purple eyes as deep as a frozen pool, and her presence eerie and sinister.

The six figures looked at Qian Daoliu. When they saw the aura of Destruction glowing purple around him, they couldn't help drawing in a sharp breath.

They instinctively wanted to retreat.

But their Beast God was still facing down Qian Daoliu, so the six beasts ultimately bowed to Di Tian and said, "Greetings, Beast God!"

"Should we join forces and capture this man?"

Qian Daoliu furrowed his brows. Though he didn't recognize the newcomers, their attitude toward Di Tian made it clear that these six were the Ferocious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest, now in human form.

Qian Daoliu carefully sensed the six figures. Their power was astonishingly formidable, and every one of them clearly possessed a cultivation level of at least rank 98, making them Super Douluo.

The situation had suddenly turned against Qian Daoliu.

Yet he remained calm. Now that he had transformed into the Destruction Angel, he feared neither Di Tian nor the six Ferocious Beasts, even if they joined forces.

However, Beast God Di Tian merely raised a hand, refusing the six Ferocious Beasts' proposal.

He then addressed the six beasts. "There's no need to intervene!"

"You're no match for him!"

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Qian Daoliu held his breath and focused, preparing to fight Di Tian to the death once more.

Di Tian's gaze was solemn as he spoke slowly:

"Human, neither of us can claim victory in a short time. I can let you go today, but you must promise never to hunt Soul Beasts indiscriminately in the Star Dou Great Forest."

"If you break that promise, I'll spare nothing to kill you—and settle the score with everyone you hold dear!"

Hearing his opponent threaten Bo Saixi, Ye Guyi, and the others, Qian Daoliu's heart jolted, and his expression shifted several times.

He knew these Ferocious Beasts fiercely protected their own and possessed formidable strength. He didn't want the situation to spiral completely out of control.

After weighing the matter for a moment, the aura of Destruction roiling around him gradually subsided, and his tone softened. He answered gravely, "Fine."

The two sides called a temporary truce and reached a brief reconciliation.

Then, under the watchful eyes of Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts, Qian Daoliu spread the six purple wings behind him and vanished from the horizon in a flash.

After Qian Daoliu left.

The scarlet figure beside Di Tian couldn't help complaining to him. "Di Tian, that man hunted high-level Soul Beasts in our Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Are we really just going to let him go?"

At this, Di Tian turned toward the speaker, his tone displeased.

"Let him go?"

"I'm saving you!"

"Do you know that man possesses two divine-level Martial Souls, the Six-Winged Angel and the Destruction Scepter?"

"His cultivation has even reached Limit Douluo!"

"More importantly, his spiritual power has reached the divine level!"

"He also has a companion whose cultivation has likewise reached Limit Douluo!"

"And her Martial Soul is no inferior to his!"

"Scarlet King, tell me!"

"How exactly are we supposed to capture him?"

As he spoke, the pressure radiating from Di Tian had nearly solidified, making the Ferocious Beasts beside him furrow their brows.

Of course, they weren't frightened by Di Tian's pressure. It was the strength he had described in Qian Daoliu and Bo Saixi that weighed on them.

"Since when did humans have such powerful experts?"

Just as the beasts fell into tense silence,

the green-clad woman among the Ferocious Beasts stepped forward and spoke.

At the sound of her voice, Di Tian's oppressive aura finally eased a little.

Di Tian also regained some composure. He looked toward another Ferocious Beast, a faint, shadowy figure, and said calmly, "Yao Ling, go investigate this man's identity!"

"I'm not afraid of powerful humans with backing. I'm afraid of powerful humans with nothing to lose. They're the most terrifying of all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the Ferocious Beasts turned their eyes toward Yao Ling. They saw the faint shadow bow at once in reply to Di Tian.

"Yes, Lord Di Tian!"

Then, under Di Tian and the other beasts' watchful eyes, Yao Ling vanished from the spot in a strange, uncanny way.

After that, the other beasts also disappeared.

It was as if nothing had ever happened.

As for Qian Daoliu, he had now withdrawn his Destruction Scepter Martial Soul.

His Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul had returned to its normal state.

With his extraordinarily powerful divine-level spiritual strength, Qian Daoliu quickly sensed where Bo Saixi, Ye Guyi, and the others were.

After locating them, Qian Daoliu beat his Six-Winged Angel's wings and soon arrived where Bo Saixi and the others were.

"Qian Daoliu, you're injured!"

The moment Qian Daoliu drew near, Bo Saixi, being a Limit Douluo, sensed his aura.

She also sensed that Qian Daoliu had suffered considerable injuries.

Without waiting for Qian Daoliu to reply, Bo Saixi hurried to his side, her face full of concern.

Bo Saixi gathered gentle soul power at her fingertips and carefully laid it over Qian Daoliu. Her eyes reddened, her heart aching for him.

"How did you get so badly hurt? It must have been one of the powerful Soul Beasts in that forest!"

Her tone suddenly sharpened. "I'll go there right now and make them answer for it!"

Qian Daoliu raised a hand to stop her, then quietly explained the agreement and confrontation that had just taken place.

"Xixi, we shouldn't make enemies of the Ferocious Beasts for now!"

Bo Saixi knitted her brows. Though she was reluctant, seeing how exhausted he looked, she eventually tamped down her anger and focused on healing him.

In the end, Qian Daoliu recovered from his injuries, refreshed and invigorated.

Considering his agreement with Di Tian and the other Ferocious Beasts, Qian Daoliu ultimately decided to leave the Star Dou Great Forest with Bo Saixi, Ye Guyi, and the others.

For now, they would return to the Sun Moon Empire.

As for the Soul Rings required for his and Bo Saixi's divine trials,

Qian Daoliu planned to return and ask Kong Deming where else, besides the Star Dou Great Forest, would be suitable for hunting the Soul Beasts needed for their divine trials.
