"Grandpa Sword!"

Ning Rongrong sobbed and tried to run over, but Xiao Wu grabbed her and held her back.

"Rongrong, don't be reckless."

Although Xiao Wu was terrified too, she still refused to let her good sister run to her death. The person before them was actually also a hundred-thousand-year soul beast in human form—and a high dragon race at that.

Ye Yun crooked a finger. The dense moisture filling the forest seemed to be forcibly drawn by an invisible power, gathering and compressing wildly in midair.

"Grotto-Heaven Imbibitor Lunae, Azure Dragon Cleansing the World!"

A low shout exploded through the air!

Boom!

The water vapor that filled the sky instantly condensed into shape, and a massive gilded water dragon suddenly manifested. Its dragon eyes were savage, its scales gleamed with a chilling light, and its enormous body stirred up violent winds. With an earth-shaking dragon roar that shook the mountain forest, it charged straight toward Di Tian!

Roar—!!

A mighty, tyrannical dragon pressure swept wildly in every direction, forcing the birds and beasts throughout the forest to flee in panic. Even the air seemed to freeze in that instant.

Di Tian, who was meeting it head-on, abruptly narrowed his pupils, a heavy flash of astonishment passing through his eyes.

He had never expected that the ability this brat unleashed would contain such pure and overwhelming dragon-path pressure. It was in no way inferior to the bloodline of an ultimate dragon race!

With no time to think further, Di Tian's expression hardened. Pitch-black soul power instantly covered his palm, his five fingers forming claws. Carrying a terrifying force that seemed capable of tearing everything apart, he clawed viciously at the diving gilded water dragon, intending to rip this attack apart by brute force!

Just as the two overpowering forces were about to collide, the Human-Faced Demon Spider that had long been waiting at the side, which Ye Yun had Refined into a Voidranger, immediately moved.

Its huge body shot out in an instant, steadily carrying the trembling Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong onto its back. Then its mouthparts clamped tightly onto the corner of Chen Xin's clothes. Not daring to delay in the slightest, its eight spider legs kicked rapidly against the ground, carrying the three of them as it sprinted toward the outer edge of the Star Dou Forest at top speed.

"Brother!!"

Xiao Wu's whole body was limp and powerless. She wanted to get down and help him, but she did not even have the strength to raise a hand.

She could only watch helplessly as Ye Yun faced that terrifying guy alone, watching the battlefield behind them recede at high speed.

The surrounding trees and scenery flew backward in her vision, the distance stretching farther and farther.

Utter helplessness and despair instantly drowned her. Xiao Wu's legs went weak, and she knelt powerlessly on the Human-Faced Demon Spider's back. Crystal tears surged uncontrollably from her eyes and kept rolling down, her voice filled with choking sobs and terror.

"Xiao Wu! We should go find Grandpa Bone and Dad right now! Only they can save Brother Yun now!"

Ning Rongrong wiped away her tears, took out her phone from her soul tool, and called Ning Fengzhi.

"Dad! Hurry over! Brother Yun is fighting a terrifying guy! Grandpa Sword was injured and is unconscious! Hurry!!"

Ning Fengzhi, who had been leisurely playing chess at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, had a drastic change in expression.

"Uncle Gu! We need to get to the Star Dou Forest now! Xiao Yun and the others are in trouble!"

Gu Rong also understood how urgent the situation was. Without a single word of nonsense, he opened a spatial teleportation and swiftly rushed toward the Star Dou Forest with Ning Fengzhi.

Meanwhile, on Ye Yun's side.

He had activated the Strike Mech at the first possible moment and flown into the sky. The Azure Dragon coiled beside him, continuously building up its might.

"Brat, this water dragon doesn't seem like a soul skill used by you humans. It's more like an instinct. Who exactly are you?"

Di Tian frowned. When he had just tried to directly tear that water dragon apart, his own bloodline had seemed to sense a suppressive force. That feeling had been extremely unpleasant. Aside from when facing his Lord, he had never encountered such a situation again.

Ye Yun's eyes darted, and he thought of a good idea.

"I am a dragon descendant from beyond the heavens. I came to Douluo Planet this time to overthrow the rule of those old gods."

Hearing his words, Di Tian's mind went blank for a moment.

That top-tier dragon pressure that crushed his bloodline was absolutely the purest dragon race origin. There was no way to fake it!

But the strange part was exactly that.

He released all his divine sense and carefully probed, yet he could not sense the slightest soul beast aura from Ye Yun.

There were no soul ring fluctuations, no beast origin, and not even the slightest trace of nourishment from the spiritual essence of heaven and earth. He was entirely the physique of a human soul master!

Too contradictory.

Utterly contradictory!

Di Tian's heart was filled with shock and suspicion. He locked firmly onto Ye Yun and said in a deep voice:

"I understand. But I do not comprehend. You bear the bloodline of a supreme dragon race, so why do you not have the slightest soul beast aura?"

After a brief silence, Di Tian withdrew the hostility from his body, his tone carrying a trace of unquestionable authority:

"Since you possess true dragon blood, then come with me and meet my Lord."

In his view, since he was of the dragon race, he should submit to his Lord.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ye Yun refused without hesitation, his voice cold.

He hovered in midair, the body of his mech tall and sharp, while the gilded Azure Dragon around him roared in fury without end. The tyrannical dragon pressure surged once again.

"Impossible!"

Ye Yun's gaze was unruly, revealing extreme arrogance and disdain:

"I am a noble dragon. In this life, I stand tall and unyielding. I will never bow my head to any other dragon, nor kneel and submit!"

When Di Tian saw him like this, not only was he not angry, he became even more convinced of his identity.

That untamed, defiant temperament felt right. He was a true dragon.

(Di Tian, bring him to see me.)

His lord's voice rang out in his mind, so he immediately answered respectfully.

"Fine. Come with me. The Lord wants to see you."

Di Tian had only taken one step when his body suddenly froze, as if he had abruptly thought of something crucial. He immediately turned his head, his gaze locking tightly onto Ye Yun as he asked one question after another.

"What is your name? What dragon bloodline do you bear?"

Ye Yun's expression was calm, his tone carrying a trace of innate aloofness as he answered casually:

"You may call me Imbibitor Lunae. I am an extraterrestrial dragon descendant from the [Aeon of Permanence]."

Inwardly, Ye Yun silently broke out in a cold sweat and apologized to the air.

There was no helping it. Borrowing a title at the last minute to show off still seemed a little lacking in style. It really was somewhat unworthy of Dan Feng, that true Dragon Venerable.

On the other side, after hearing this, Di Tian nodded solemnly, firmly committing the two pieces of information, "Imbibitor Lunae" and "dragon descendant of Permanence," to memory.

At this moment, this Beast God who had dominated Douluo Continent for hundreds of thousands of years actually followed obediently at Ye Yun's side.

He no longer dared to rashly make a move to test him, nor did he dare let Ye Yun act alone. He kept his eyes fixed on him the entire time, afraid that this mysterious extraterrestrial dragon descendant would turn his head and run off.

Looking at Di Tian following closely beside him, not leaving him by even a step, Ye Yun sighed helplessly in his heart.

Sure enough, if it was a blessing, it was no disaster; if it was a disaster, there was no avoiding it.

But after thinking about it again, he instantly felt much more at ease.

He could communicate with all soul beasts without any barrier, and he also had top-tier dragon might that absolutely suppressed Di Tian. As long as he kept his presence steady and acted the part properly, there was no way he would be exposed.

After all, based on their understanding, as long as they did not speak human language, who else besides fellow soul beasts could understand their speech?

The soul beasts of Douluo Continent had limited horizons. They had never come into contact with beings from beyond the heavens, much less seen a true dragon descendant of Permanence.

As long as he did not actively reveal any flaws, with the trump cards he currently had, he could completely bluff his way through without a hitch.
