Di Tian VS Evil Emperor! A Peak Battle Between Soul Beasts?!

Outside Seven Treasure City.

Qian Daochen and Ning Rongrong had already arrived before the mountain gate.

Ning Rongrong looked up at the enormous Evil Eye on the Heavenly Screen and instinctively moved closer to Qian Daochen.

That dark red eye occupied a vast stretch of the sky.

Even through the Heavenly Screen, it made her feel mentally oppressed.

"An eight-hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

"If Sword Grandpa encountered it, could he win?"

Qian Daochen said,

"No."

Ning Rongrong halted.

In her heart, Chen Xin had always been one of the strongest people on the continent.

Yet Qian Daochen had answered so directly.

Ning Rongrong looked at the white-clad man beside her.

"What about you?"

Qian Daochen walked up the stone steps of the mountain gate with his hands behind his back.

"Just a little fellow."

Ning Rongrong blinked.

She quickly caught up, her short ear-length hair swaying gently with her steps.

"An eight-hundred-thousand-year soul beast is still a little fellow?"

"Just how long have you lived?"

Qian Daochen did not answer.

Ning Rongrong circled in front of him and walked backward up the mountain.

Her glass-colored eyes remained fixed on his face.

"Even if you won't tell me, I can guess."

"Sword Grandpa knows you."

"That ancient sword in the back mountain is yours too."

"You must have many stories."

Several maple leaves lay along the edge of the stone steps.

Ning Rongrong was too focused on Qian Daochen to watch where she was stepping.

She stepped into empty air, and her body immediately tipped backward.

Qian Daochen raised a hand, caught her by the waist, and brought her back to the center of the steps.

Ning Rongrong steadied herself and hurriedly stepped aside.

She adjusted the hem of her white dress, the tips of her ears faintly reddening.

"I could stand steady by myself."

Qian Daochen withdrew his hand.

"Then watch the road."

Ning Rongrong gave a soft snort and turned to walk ahead.

After a while, she quietly slowed down again and walked shoulder to shoulder with Qian Daochen.

Qian Daochen watched as her anger came quickly and went just as quickly, but said nothing more.

Although Ning Rongrong was mischievous, her nature was not bad.

It was only because Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong had spoiled her too much that she had developed her current temperament.

After being taught a few more lessons, she would naturally become sensible.

The Heavenly Screen suddenly shifted.

The Evil Demon Forest disappeared.

In its place was a primeval forest filled with towering ancient trees.

Two enormous auras collided deep within the forest.

Purple-black spiritual power swept across the area.

Whole swathes of ancient trees exploded from the center outward.

The Evil Emperor's true body floated high in the sky, countless tentacles transforming into spears as they stabbed forward.

A black giant dragon dived down from the clouds.

Its dragon wings spread wide, blotting out the sun.

Majesty filled its golden eyes.

Its pitch-black dragon claws descended, severing dozens of tentacles at once.

Soul masters throughout the continent immediately widened their eyes.

[Independent Soul Emperor: Who is this black dragon?]

[Elephant Armor Sect Master Huyan Zhen: It can suppress the Evil Emperor head-on?]

[Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect Master Yu Yuanzhen: The bloodline pressure from this black dragon far surpasses that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon!]

[Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan: The forest in the scene seems to be the Star Dou Great Forest.]

[Ghost Douluo Gui Mei: Other than the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, the Star Dou Great Forest was hiding a soul beast like this?]

Sun Moon Continent.

After recognizing the black dragon, astonishment surged into the Evil Emperor's single eye.

"Di Tian!"

Back when the Skydream Iceworm had escaped into the Star Dou Great Forest,

the Evil Emperor had crossed the sea to hunt it down in order to seize that million-year soul beast.

As a result, it had encountered Di Tian in the Star Dou Great Forest.

It had lost that battle.

Now that the Supreme Ranking was reviewing its strength, it had even displayed this experience.

The Evil Emperor's tentacles slammed heavily into a mountain peak.

The entire mountain collapsed on the spot.

"Since the Heavenly Screen is reviewing me, why show Di Tian?"

"This is my ranking!"

Spirit City.

Bibi Dong stared at the black dragon in the scene.

"The Star Dou Great Forest has another soul beast this powerful."

Golden Crocodile Douluo wore a grave expression.

"I have never heard of it."

"Judging solely by the aura in the scene, this black dragon has cultivated for at least eight hundred thousand years."

Ghost Douluo looked toward the center of the forest.

"Your Holiness, could it also be an expert on the Supreme Ranking?"

Bibi Dong did not answer.

The Evil Emperor was already ranked ninth.

A black dragon capable of suppressing the Evil Emperor head-on was certainly ranked even higher.

Shrek Academy.

Tang San and the others gathered on the training field.

Ma Hongjun looked at Yu Xiaogang.

"Master, what kind of soul beast is this black dragon?"

Oscar followed up,

"Is it also an overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Yu Xiaogang's hands tightened behind his back.

He had combed through all the records collected by Spirit Hall, yet he had never seen the black dragon from the scene.

Facing everyone's gazes, he fell silent for a moment.

"The history of soul beasts is far longer than that of humanity."

"The fact that the records do not mention it does not mean it does not exist."

Tang San nodded seriously.

"Teacher is right."

"This black dragon has been hiding in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. It is normal for the outside world not to know about it."

Yu Xiaogang looked at the Heavenly Screen and did not continue explaining.

He truly did not know the origin of that black dragon.

On the Heavenly Screen.

The Evil Emperor's spiritual power condensed into a purple-black spear.

The spear crossed space and appeared directly before Di Tian.

Di Tian smashed it apart with a single claw.

The violent force shattered the surrounding space into countless cracks.

The Evil Emperor's tentacles swung one after another.

Every attack was enough to blast apart a mountain peak.

Though it excelled in spiritual attributes, the physical strength granted by eight hundred thousand years of cultivation also far surpassed that of ordinary soul beasts.

A hundred-thousand-year soul beast entered the edge of the battlefield.

The aftershock of the battle struck it, sending that soul beast flying on the spot.

Yet against Di Tian, the Evil Emperor remained at a disadvantage throughout.

Dragon claws descended again and again.

The Evil Emperor's enormous true body became covered in wounds.

Even its proud spiritual attacks were repeatedly blocked by Di Tian's powerful cultivation.

Across the continent, discussions erupted once more.

[Sword Douluo Chen Xin: To suppress an eight-hundred-thousand-year Evil Emperor throughout the entire battle, this black dragon is even stronger.]

[Bone Douluo Gu Rong: The Star Dou Great Forest has hidden itself far too deeply.]

[Sea Horse Douluo: Its bloodline and cultivation may already be nearing the limit of soul beasts.]

[Clear Sky Sect Tang Xiao: If this black dragon appears on the ranking, its rank will certainly be higher than ninth.]

Just as everyone believed the battle was about to end, the Evil Emperor's dark red eye suddenly lit up.

Everything around it froze.

Falling leaves hung in midair.

Shattered stones froze in the center of the battlefield.

Even Di Tian's movements paused briefly.

A grayish-white beam shot from the Evil Emperor's eye.

The beam pierced through space and struck Di Tian in the chest.

Black dragon scales shattered one after another.

Blood spilled from Di Tian's enormous body.

Majestic words appeared.

[The Evil Emperor's strongest ultimate skill.]

[Light of Time and Space.]

[Uses extreme spiritual power to interfere with time and space.]

[Once it hits, it can erode a living being's spirit, soul, and life essence.]

[Di Tian was once injured by this move.]

Sun Moon Empire.

A wave of cheers erupted within the imperial palace.

"Lord Evil Emperor injured that black dragon!"

"As expected of the Sun Moon Empire's totem!"

"Light of Time and Space—no one can withstand it!"

Within the Evil Demon Forest.

Watching this scene, the Evil Emperor finally felt somewhat relieved.

"This is my true power."

"So what if it is Di Tian?"

"Even it will be injured after taking Light of Time and Space head-on."
