Di Tian's Guidance

If he felt fear and weakness simply because Di Tian was too strong and the gap between them was too great, wouldn't that make him a coward?

Di Tian's movements stirred the Dragon Clan's most primal desires. The blazing dragon blood within him churned, yearning for a slaughter of blood and fire. His crimson-gold Golden Eyes lit up, eclipsing the bright sunlight.

Two yellow Soul Rings circled him. A flash of understanding passed through Di Tian's heart. The planar laws on this side of Douluo Continent worked like this: outsiders would be assimilated by the rules, becoming either Soul Beasts or humans.

This member of the otherworldly Dragon Clan had been rather lucky. The rules had identified him as human, most likely because he had maintained human form when he arrived in this world.

If he had been identified as a Soul Beast, he would have suffered terribly. Those damned Heavenly Tribulations did not care whether the creature below was an outsider. As long as it was judged to be a Soul Beast, it would be struck!

Still, even if the rules had identified him as human, it was nearly impossible for this member of the otherworldly Dragon Clan to become a god here.

The Divine Realm would never hand a godhood to a member of the Beast Clan.

"Not bad eyes."

"But not enough. Your dragon might meets the standard, but your presence is a little lacking."

Di Tian stood at the center of the pressure from the Golden Eyes and the dragon might, utterly unmoving. Instead, he felt a trace of familiarity.

The last time he had felt this kind of dragon might had been during the era of the Dragon God Realm. Zi JI's dragon might was insufficient, while his lord's dragon might was too weak.

This dragon might, free of all distracting thoughts and filled only with brutality and fighting intent, was something Di Tian had not felt in a long time.

Wan Demon King brought Qiu'er farther away. His turquoise eyes remained fixed on Lin En, carrying a hint of envy.

Being recognized as human by the rules was far too fortunate, wasn't it? He had the lifespan of the Dragon Clan without needing to worry about those damned Heavenly Tribulations.

Qiu'er did not think that much. She silently cheered Lin En on in her heart, hoping he would give Di Tian a vicious beating, though that seemed rather unlikely.

The second Soul Ring flashed. Blue-gold scales spread across his entire body in an instant. They were an interweaving of Devouring Dragon scales and Three-Eyed Golden Lion scales, with Devouring Dragon scales on the outer layer and Three-Eyed Golden Lion scales beneath them.

His overall impact resistance and durability multiplied several times over. The thousands of bones in his body locked together as the Blue Silver King bloodline and Purple Radiant Bamboo bloodline began to manifest, surging with vitality.

Dark-gold claws thrust out from his fingertips. The true Dark Gold Terror Claw was not something some cheap imitation could compare to in sharpness.

"Word Spirit: Moment!"

Ancient and solemn words echoed through space. The muscular structure of Lin En's legs transformed into that of the Rainbow Deer King, and he vanished from where he stood as if teleporting.

Di Tian shifted his body. The golden strand of hair before his forehead fluttered in the gale as he effortlessly avoided Lin En's whip kick aimed directly at his face.

"Excellent speed."

"Not a soul skill. Your Soul Ring did not light up. Is it a Self-Created Soul Skill, or an ability unique to the Dragon Clan from your world?"

Lin En did not answer. His body turned in midair in a manner that defied the laws of physics, while the Vector Manipulation Domain perfectly utilized the kinetic energy he had accumulated.

The Dark Gold Terror Claw slashed toward Di Tian's chest. Di Tian extended a finger covered in dense black dragon scales and blocked the attack.

But to Di Tian's surprise, the recoil that should have been shared by both of them was now borne entirely by him alone.

Then came an indescribably terrifying force. It felt as though he had faced an entire world in an instant. Centered on the point of contact, Vector Manipulation transmitted all the stress deep within the earth onto Di Tian.

Honestly, compared to the Bronze and Fire King, this domain was more like the authority of the strongest Next-Generation Species, the King of Earth and Mountains.

Di Tian was blasted back several steps by that immense force. In the distance, Wan Demon King looked as though he had seen a ghost.

"Seriously?"

"Two rings can actually make the boss retreat?"

"Are all outsider dragons this arrogant?"

Di Tian rolled his joints and said:

"Interesting."

"That was a domain?"

"Does it alter the direction of kinetic energy, or control energy itself? From the Dragon God Realm until now, I have seen countless domains—those of the Beast Clan and those of humans. Yours stands alone.

"This is not a bloodline domain. It seems more like a spiritual domain, yet your spiritual power should not meet the requirements. Interesting."

"Kid, be careful. I'm going to get a little more serious."

Having fought countless powerful opponents, Di Tian had seen innumerable domains and understood all manner of strange skills.

Back in the era of the Dragon God Realm, he had followed the Dragon God and had even witnessed battles between God Kings. The fights among the eighteen God Kings of the Dragon God Realm had been the true grand spectacles.

The ten Dragon Kings relied on raw stats, while the eight other races relied either on mechanics or even stronger raw stats. Unfortunately, Di Tian had been only eighteen that year, standing there like a nobody and fit only to shout praise.

Times had changed. Di Tian had now become the leader of the Beast Clan, not because he had grown stronger, but because all the great figures from back then had died.

Di Tian's figure abruptly vanished from Lin En's field of view. It was not extreme speed, but spatial teleportation—a lag-free teleportation without the slightest fluctuation.

A long leg carrying violent impact struck from Lin En's side. The Vector Manipulation Domain triggered automatically, while a dense layer of blackness wrapped around Di Tian's leg.

Ultimate Darkness nearly blotted out all light in the world. All reflected kinetic energy and impact were swallowed by that abyss-like Devouring darkness.

Di Tian completely enveloped Lin En in darkness. He did not let the darkness touch Lin En, instead allowing it to swirl chaotically around him.

Every wisp of Soul Power was a randomly rotating sphere of mass, while the Soul Power Di Tian released was like a boundless ocean. Little Sage's computational load surged instantly.

It was not merely the energy that was chaotic. The surrounding space had also been torn apart by Di Tian. Intersecting spaces were casually stitched together, and the erroneous spatial currents followed no pattern whatsoever.

The dense domain of darkness made the soul feel as if it were trudging through a swamp, gradually eroding one's will.

Lin En bared his teeth. Ultimate Light blazed forth—the Ultimate Light granted by Qiu'er's bloodline could contend with Ultimate Darkness. Scorching flames burned his scales crimson.

Light and flames crashed against the darkness. As attributes of the same level collided, he used the resulting force of impact to shape the Vector Manipulation Domain into a sharp cone, forcibly tearing open a gap in the darkness domain.

"Clever."

"But do not rely too heavily on your domain. There are too many ways to deal with domains. I alone can think of five methods to neutralize a spiritual domain."

"Remember this next: cast aside your eyes and spiritual power. Use instinct to perceive."

Di Tian vanished again. This time, it was not merely spatial teleportation, but a fusion of physical extreme speed and spatial power.

The reason the continent mocked agility-type Soul Masters was because a top-tier assault-type powerhouse could never be slow.

The terrifying speed rendered spiritual perception completely useless. It was so fast that even spiritual power could not catch it. Lin En was sent flying by an invisible force, his body crashing into a hill behind him before the thick dust had even dispersed.

Then, like a kicked ball, he was blasted into the dense forest. Countless trees became splinters that danced through the air.

Lin En was an exceptionally quick learner. This Beast God was clearly feeding him moves.

Following Di Tian's instructions, he decisively abandoned active perception and allowed the Next-Generation Species bloodline to take control of his body.

An overwhelmingly domineering will spread through space. All elements seemed ready to submit to that dominance. This was the Sovereign Over All Under Heaven Yu Mu'en had once taught him.

The Dragon Clan's instincts, combined with the elements' warnings, allowed him to narrowly evade Di Tian's attacks.

Even though Di Tian was only attacking playfully, being able to evade the Beast God's attacks with only two rings was enough to be proud of.

Word Spirit: Moment was used to its utmost. The originally ninth-stage Moment faintly showed signs of breaking through. The ninth stage had never been the endpoint; it was simply that no one had ever used the tenth stage.

The second Soul Ring continued to shine, and the wounds on Lin En's body healed in the blink of an eye.

Di Tian had not gotten serious. It was as though he were merely playing with a junior.

"This ability..."

"It resembles a move once used by that Ultimate Douluo from Shrek whose Martial Soul was the Light Holy Dragon."

A hundred years ago, Mu En had fought Di Tian. Mu En lost, but Di Tian had consequently witnessed several of Mu En's ultimate techniques.

Black wings spread from Lin En's back. Using his extreme speed, he soared into the sky. Scorching flames wrapped around his entire body, and from afar, it looked as though a small sun had appeared above the forest.

Dragon Script, impossible to describe in human words, was chanted. A massive Word Spirit domain expanded. Lin En recited the Word Spirit of the King of Sky and Wind—the Eye of the Wind King, which a certain strongest Next-Generation Species had loved most.

Endless gales swept along flames. A gigantic vortex of fire formed in the sky, dragging in the clouds. The temperature at its core could easily melt steel.

The high heat rapidly turned the branches and leaves below yellow, then withered and ignited them. This land became a purgatory of fire.

Wan Demon King watched with tears streaming down his heart. Those plants were all his little brothers.

That blazing sun fell, carrying endless heat. Di Tian's lips curved slightly upward as an enormous dark-purple sword appeared in his hand.

The greatsword slashed down. Purple sword light left behind a black halo as all the elements between heaven and earth were devoured completely. The burning forest was effortlessly cleaved apart by the sword light, leaving behind a deep, long ravine.

The flames went out. Di Tian withdrew his blade and said:

"Young dragon, during our brief battle, I have already discovered three problems."
