"What?" The moment Yun Ming said this, nearly everyone present gasped.
His divine consciousness surpassed even Yun Ming's. What did that imply? Yun Ming was already an Ultimate Douluo, and in terms of divine consciousness, he could be considered the strongest person in Shrek Academy apart from Tang Wulin.
Could there really be such a powerful being among the soul beasts?
But if the soul beasts possessed such an existence, why had they never detected it?
Lightning flickered faintly through the black clouds overhead as a middle-aged man's voice echoed, "Humans, you have slaughtered our soul beasts for tens of thousands of years. I have engraved this hatred upon my heart.
"For the past ten thousand years, humanity has never ceased hunting soul beasts. Even the few remaining soul beasts have been kept captive by the Spirit Pagoda. Today, I hereby declare—
"In the name of freedom, we formally declare war on humanity!
"For the continuation of our race, there shall be only death in battle, never defeat!"
As his words fell, the owner of the voice suddenly unleashed a dragon's roar, its thunderous cry soaring toward the heavens!
With the arrival of that dragon roar, the army of one million soul beasts had finally fully assembled.
Red light blossomed as dozens of crimson beams shone at the very front of the million-strong soul beast army.
Without question, those ten crimson lights were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts!
Among them, they could barely recognize several Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.
There was a hundred-thousand-year Ice Jade Scorpion.
There were also hundred-thousand-year Dragon Clan soul beasts.
There was even a soul beast like the Blue Silver Emperor!
These Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts possessed strength at least comparable to Super Douluos.
Within Eternal Sky City, Yun Ming took a deep breath and was the first to fly into the air.
Heartless Douluo, Passionate Douluo, and Light-Dark Douluo followed behind him.
With Tang Wulin absent, Yun Ming, as Shrek Academy's strongest male cultivator, naturally had to step forward.
When Yun Ming and the others reached the darkness in the sky, Yun Ming said respectfully, "Your Excellency, we understand that the conflict between soul beasts and humans has become difficult to reconcile. Whatever you require, you may state it openly.
"We will do our utmost to fulfill it."
Yun Ming did not waste his breath saying things like asking his opponent to reconsider or withdraw the troops.
They were all intelligent people. Since the other side dared to launch a beast tide so openly, they must have made up their minds and possessed something to rely on.
Therefore, if the soul beasts had any demands, they could state them. If negotiations succeeded, a great war could be avoided.
"There is no room for compromise in this war." The voice from the darkness was icy. "Only blood can wash away the hatred of my race!"
Yun Ming's aura began to rise slowly as a God Level presence erupted from him. "Since Your Excellency has already acted, why continue hiding your head and showing your tail?
"Show yourself!"
Dazzling white light burst from Yun Ming's body, attempting to break through the shrouding darkness.
The next moment, the darkness trembled and lightning flashed. At last, an enormous dragon head appeared in everyone's field of vision.
The dragon head was incomparably massive. Its body remained hidden in the darkness, yet judging by its head alone, its length had to be at least a thousand meters.
It possessed a colossal body, a pair of golden eyes, and terrifying strength. It was a god among soul beasts!
It was...
"Beast God Di Tian!" Yun Ming blurted out.
In that instant, everyone present was stunned.
"How is this possible?" Heartless Douluo said in disbelief. "Di Tian actually became a god!"
"How could this be?"
Long Yeyue's gaze was somewhat dazed. What did Di Tian becoming a god signify? It meant that the soul beasts had broken the rule that they could not become gods, shattering the restraints of heaven and earth.
It also meant that more God Level soul beasts might appear in the future!
Furthermore, Di Tian had actually broken through to godhood on the continent without anyone noticing.
This showed that Di Tian, or the soul beast race, possessed some method of deceiving heaven and crossing the sea!
After his initial shock, Yun Ming quickly calmed down.
After all, they were powerful figures who had weathered great storms. They would not shrink back merely because Di Tian had become a god.
Yun Ming said gravely, "Beast God, the continent is now developing in a positive direction, and the plane has evolved as well. Launching a beast tide at this time is truly an unwise move.
"What I said earlier still stands. Whatever demands you have, you may state them, and I will convey them to the Federation government on your behalf.
"I believe we can negotiate."
"Negotiate?" Di Tian had already taken human form and stood facing Yun Ming and the others.
"Yes." Yun Ming took a deep breath. "Now that you possess God Level strength, you are qualified to negotiate with us. Even if you do not consider yourself, you must consider the soul beasts.
"Moreover, God Level is no longer impossible to pursue. Forgive my bluntness, but even if you have reached the God Level realm, it is still not enough to threaten us humans..."
"Enough!" Di Tian suddenly swept out his hand, and terrifying currents of darkness immediately engulfed the group.
"I do not wish to hear your nonsense! I have said it: you must pay the price!"
Yun Ming and the others were instantly swallowed by darkness as well.
Even Xie Xie and the others in the distance were somewhat stunned. They had not expected Di Tian to attack so directly.
What did this mean?
Was he going to start the war immediately?
