Xiong Jun, Why Seek Your Own Doom?! Di Tian: The Soul Beasts Shall Rise!

"Beast King..."

Di Tian gazed up at the Azure Divine Dragon blotting out the sky. A rare glimmer of approval flashed through his golden dragon eyes.

The soul beasts shall rise!

He was about to speak when Niu Tian cut him off.

"Di Tian, your meaning is clear enough. I came today to bid farewell to the past. The Sky Azure Bull Python of ten thousand years ago is long gone."

Niu Tian's voice descended from the clouds. "The one before you now is Niu Tian, Azure Divine Dragon and divine official of the Sea God."

Over the years, those Ferocious Beasts had often prowled around the Clear Sky Sect. Their intentions were obvious.

The Sea God might be unusually "tolerant" of soul beasts, but that did not mean Niu Tian could stand with one foot on each side.

Di Tian's expression shifted. After a moment's silence, anger edged into his voice. "Niu Tian, are you abandoning the Soul Beast Clan?"

Niu Tian offered no reply.

He turned, dismissed his Martial Soul Avatar, and stood in a blue robe that snapped in the night wind.

Hovering with his hands behind his back, Niu Tian looked down at Di Tian, who had also taken human form. A faint smile tugged at his lips.

"Betrayal?"

"Tell me, Di Tian. Since when have soul beasts ever been 'companions' to one another?"

"The strong eat the weak. The weak hide from the strong. The weak are meat for the strong. It has always been so."

"Even the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts devour other soul beasts every day to sustain themselves, don't they? How is the conflict between soul masters and soul beasts any different from soul beasts slaughtering their own kind?"

Di Tian fell silent.

Just then, a thunderous stampede sounded from the distance.
