Hearing Xiong Jun's words, Di Tian fell silent for a moment.
He had sensed it.
There was an extremely faint trace of divine power on that young human man.
The other Soul Beasts could not sense that trace of divinity, but Di Tian had seen many gods with his own eyes. He knew all too well what it meant.
But Di Tian did not tell Xiong Jun.
"Go."
Just one word.
Xiong Jun glanced at Di Tian.
Those golden slit pupils were as calm as a deep abyss, betraying no emotion.
Although Xiong Jun was savage and violent by nature and somewhat reckless in his actions, he was not truly brainless. He noticed something unusual about Di Tian.
Xiong Jun snorted inwardly.
He did not know what Di Tian was wary of, nor did he want to.
Xiong Jun acknowledged Di Tian's strength and knew he was far from a match for him, but deep down, he still refused to submit to Di Tian.
Weak.
Far too weak!
Humans had already grown this brazen, yet Di Tian was still hesitating, still weighing his options.
A fire smoldered in Xiong Jun's heart. All he knew was that those humans had entered the Lake of Life and taken a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
This was trampling on the Star Dou Great Forest, an insult to the Soul Beast Clan!
"Fine. If you won't go, I will."
Xiong Jun did not look at Di Tian again, nor at the other Ferocious Beasts. He turned and left.
Boom-!
The Lake of Life exploded.
Overwhelming savage might surged skyward from the lakebed, throwing up columns of water dozens of meters high.
Xiong Jun's mountainous body burst out of the lake, unleashing the full oppressive might of a Ferocious Beast over four hundred thousand years old.
