Di Tian: "Those Eyes! Beyond Doubt!"

"Di... Di Tian!"

Qiu'er stared in disbelief, then immediately became fiercely guarded. She stepped forward and shielded Lin En behind her.

"Run when I tell you to. Di Tian's a little strong; the two of us might not be able to beat him. You carry my aura, so no Soul Beast will dare stop you."

Qiu'er quietly instructed Lin En. He rolled his eyes helplessly. There was indeed a certain gap between the two of them and Di Tian; if they fought, they probably really could not win.

But he could not run either. Setting aside the Silver Dragon King sleeping within the Lake of Life, Di Tian was, in the truest sense, the strongest being on the continent.

The Ultimate Douluo still alive today were Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, and Ye Xishui. Even if all three were tied together, they would still struggle to defeat Di Tian.

Long Xiaoyao was suppressed by Di Tian's bloodline. Mu En had once lost to Di Tian, and the Light Holy Dragon was of too low a grade, so he was suppressed by Di Tian as well. Ye Xishui was a madwoman, and her strength was likely the lowest among the three.

Only Long Xiaoyao and Mu En's Martial Soul Fusion Skill, with its fifty-percent fusion rate, could put up a fight against Di Tian. Without relying on the Golden Tree, the final outcome would still be certain: defeat and death.

At Lin En's current level, fighting Di Tian was a guaranteed death sentence. The difference between them was like a stream facing the Yangtze River.

Even escaping was wishful thinking. Ultimate Douluo could control spatial power, and that was one of the marks of an Ultimate Douluo.

Di Tian had remained at this realm for who knew how many years. The Soul Power within him had been compressed to the limit into black hole Soul Power, its quantity far beyond that of ordinary Ultimate Douluo.

His control and understanding of spatial power were the best on the continent, no weaker than his own darkness attribute.

Trying to escape before a Di Tian who controlled space was nothing more than a fool's dream.

Di Tian did not look at Lin En first. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Qiu'er and said in a magnetic, steady voice:

"Had enough fun this past year, little one? Next time, try not to stray too far from the Mixed Zone. The humans outside are very dangerous."

Qiu'er's pupils contracted slightly as she exclaimed, "You've been watching me this whole year?"

"Impossible! How could my Power of Fate...?!"

With his hands behind his back, Di Tian smiled. "What did you think?"

"The Power of Fate is indeed wondrous. When it comes to concealing one's tracks, even I cannot see through it.

"But I do not need to see through your Power of Fate. I only need to spread my spiritual power over a wide area and see where a sensory black hole appears. With such a large black spot running around, it would be hard not to notice."

"Remember this: the ultimate level of concealment is to merge one's aura with heaven and earth. Forcibly hiding one's existence is the lowest form of method."

Di Tian had always been secretly watching over the Auspicious Beast to prevent her from encountering danger. Her existence concerned the safety of the Star Dou Great Forest. As the Beast God and her guardian, he could not allow this child to be harmed.

Qiu'er was somewhat dejected. The Power of Fate she had been so proud of had actually become useless. Since Di Tian had been judged as friendly, its warning had also failed.

Lin En wanted nothing more than to keep lowering his presence. Although Di Tian was not paying attention to him, Wan Demon King had been staring at him the whole time.

That sinister, demonic aura reminded Lin En of certain unpleasant things. His crimson-gold Golden Eyes flickered in and out of view.

"Human brat, was it you who killed the Blue Silver King?"

"Do you know that the Blue Silver Grass territory was under my protection?"

The reason Wan Demon King had complained to Di Tian was because the Auspicious Beast and this human brat had attacked his Blue Silver Grass territory.

The Blue Silver Grass territory was extremely important to Wan Demon King. Blue Silver Grass possessed the ability to expand at an astonishing speed. If he could control Blue Silver Grass, Wan Demon King would have a better chance against the 600,000-Year Heavenly Tribulation.

And the best way to control Blue Silver Grass was to control the Blue Silver Emperor and the Blue Silver King.

That was why Wan Demon King had always wanted to cultivate a Blue Silver Emperor. Just as he treated the Immortal Herb, he wanted to give her sunlight, nutrients, and all the love she deserved.

Beyond his need to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, the Blue Silver Emperor was renowned among plant Soul Beasts for her beauty. She was far more beautiful than his Demon-Eyed Devil Tree true body.

And what Wan Demon King loved most was using his own filth to taint all beautiful things and claim that beauty for himself. Through that cold, twisted love, he would slowly make the Blue Silver Emperor fall in love with his distorted self and become the most perfect blade in his hand.

It was precisely because of this warped mentality that the ferocious beasts of the Core Zone kept their distance from Wan Demon King. Only Bear Lord, being carefree and simple-minded, often got along with him without a care.

Yet this human brat had dared to throw a tantrum in his Blue Silver Grass territory and even eaten the strongest Blue Silver King.

That Blue Silver King had been painstakingly cultivated by him and was only one step away from gaining imperial bloodline!

And at the time, Bear Lord had held him up. That stupid bear had insisted on asking whether plants took shits. It had left him completely dumbfounded, causing him to fail to notice in time that his Blue Silver King was gone.

This human brat carried the aura of the Auspicious Beast, so Wan Demon King could not make a move against him. It was better to call in a parent and let Di Tian handle it.

Qiu'er bared her teeth at Wan Demon King, looking ready to hiss at any moment.

Di Tian also turned his gaze toward Lin En. He had always felt that there was something off about this human.

It was precisely because of that oddness that Di Tian had not immediately dealt with this human who had approached the Auspicious Beast.

At that moment, the golden eyes belonging to the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King met Lin En's crimson-gold Golden Eyes.

Two Dragon Clans from different worlds intersected in that instant. Di Tian's pupils shrank slightly. Those eyes—there was no doubt about it!

Within those Golden Eyes, burning like stars, was the brutality and madness unique to the Dragon Clan. Merely meeting his gaze, Di Tian sensed a magnificent scene of countless dragons dancing through the sky, roaring as they shook the world.

These were eyes only the Dragon Clan could possess!

No matter the world, the Dragon Clan shared certain traits. Those traits gave Di Tian a long-lost sense of familiarity, as though he had recalled the grand history of the Dragon Clan soaring through the sea of stars during the era of the Dragon God Realm.

This made Di Tian exceptionally excited. His golden eyes became vertical pupils, and dragon might involuntarily poured from his body.

The bloodline of the Next-Generation Species within Lin En also activated automatically. Molten lava seemed to flow within his Golden Eyes as two utterly different dragon mights intertwined.

Feeling that dragon might, Wan Demon King's emerald-green eyes widened slightly. It seemed he had misunderstood something. How could a human possibly possess such dragon might?!

Wan Demon King had lived for so long that his perception covered one-third of the Star Dou Great Forest. He had seen far too many humans.

Among them were plenty of prodigies with True Dragon Martial Souls. The dragon might unleashed by a Martial Soul and bloodline was an entirely different concept; the difference could be seen at a glance.

This human brat was clearly a pure-blooded colossal dragon wearing human skin! And he did not appear to be suppressed by Di Tian. Was his bloodline rank truly that high?

After that brief exchange of dragon might, Di Tian felt a little disappointed. He was certain now: the boy before him was absolutely not human, but a dragon—just not a dragon from their plane.

Di Tian had thought that the now-declining Dragon Clan might gain another member of its kind. What a pity.

Still, it did not matter. As long as he was not one of those despicable humans, it was fine. Di Tian hated humans, and the main reason was not their hunting of Soul Rings, though that was one reason.

The main reason was humanity's betrayal in the past!

Those humans had actually raised their butcher's blades against the Dragon God Lord and launched a great rebellion!

They had completely destroyed the former Dragon God Realm! Humanity had only been able to become gods because of the Dragon God Lord's indulgence and grace.

"What is your name?"

Di Tian's eyes returned to their usual gold. Compared to before, the way he looked at Lin En had become much gentler.

Although the other party was not a dragon of this plane, that display of dragon might qualified him to speak with Di Tian normally. As long as he was not human, that was enough.

"Lin En."

The Beast God nodded and continued, "My name is Di Tian."

"Since you are of the Dragon Clan, I imagine your side has similar rules. Shall we have a spar?"

Di Tian crooked a finger at Lin En, signaling for him to attack.

The Dragon Clan of Douluo Continent had similar rules as well. A clash of dragon might alone could not reveal much. Only a battle of blood and fire, where power collided against power, would naturally make many things clear.
