In the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xiong Jun looked at himself on the Sky Screen, and his expression instantly darkened.
"These humans certainly know how to talk."
The Myriad Demon King turned his head.
"They're treating the Evil Emperor as the only powerful one."
Xiong Jun snorted coldly.
"If I'd been there back then, how would the Evil Emperor have had a chance to act so arrogantly?"
Bi Ji looked at him.
"You did fight the Evil Emperor back then."
"But what was the outcome?"
Xiong Jun immediately stopped.
The Myriad Demon King shook his head gently.
"The outcome was that Di Tian had to step in."
Xiong Jun shut his mouth.
He truly did not want to say much about that incident.
In the images on the Sky Screen.
The Evil Emperor continued chasing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm.
It passed through valleys and crossed rivers.
Powerful soul beasts kept appearing along the way.
A giant serpent raised its head from a swamp.
Its body coiled among the mountain ridges, its scales covered in blue-green markings.
As the spiritual power swept past, the giant serpent opened its mouth and spat out thick poisonous mist.
The Evil Emperor's eye turned.
Black light spread, and the poisonous mist was instantly dispersed by spiritual power.
The black serpent was forced down into the swamp by that power.
Another enormous ape leaped out of the dense forest.
It brought both fists crashing down, its tremendous strength shattering the surrounding trees.
The Evil Emperor hovered high in the sky.
A spiritual blast descended.
The ape soul beast fell from midair, smashing a deep crater into the ground.
In the images, powerful soul beasts appeared one after another.
Some came from valleys.
Some hid in lakes.
Some slept beneath ancient trees.
Every soul beast possessed an aura far beyond that of an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Yet none of them truly stopped the Evil Emperor.
Chasing the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, the Evil Emperor continued deeper into the forest.
The imperial families of the two great empires fell completely silent.
Xue Ye watched the soul beasts appearing one after another on the Sky Screen, his expression gradually growing grave.
"All these soul beasts actually exist in the Star Dou Great Forest."
A minister lowered his head and leafed through ancient texts.
"They have never appeared in the empire's records."
Xue Ye looked toward that forest.
"It seems the Star Dou Great Forest the empire knows is only the part it has shown to humans."
In the Star Luo Empire.
Dai Tianfeng likewise fell silent.
The Star Luo Imperial Family's records of the Star Dou Great Forest were more detailed than those of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Yet those powerful soul beasts had still never appeared in the records.
"Where are they going?"
Dai Tianfeng stared at the Sky Screen.
In the images, the Evil Emperor had already reached the vicinity of the Lake of Life.
Golden text appeared again.
[The Evil Emperor chased the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm into the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.] [It encountered several powerful soul beasts along the way.] [Relying on the advantage of its mental attribute, the Evil Emperor broke through their obstructions one after another.]
Inside Heaven Dou City.
The barrage of comments changed again.
[The Star Dou Great Forest is finished!] [So many powerful soul beasts, and none of them could stop the Evil Emperor!] [Where are the two emperors?] [Titan Giant Ape, Sky Azure Bull Python, hurry up and come out!] [Aren't they the emperors of the Star Dou Great Forest?] [If they don't come out now, are they going to wait until the Evil Emperor fights its way to the Lake of Life?]
The Sun Moon Empire's barrage of comments grew even denser.
[Lord Evil Emperor is mighty!] [This is the power of a seven-hundred-and-eighty-thousand-year soul beast!] [The soul beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest can't stop it at all!] [With Lord Evil Emperor presiding over the Sun Moon Empire, who would dare provoke us?] [Lord Evil Emperor will definitely catch the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm!]
Within the Sun Moon Empire.
Many soul masters stood in city squares.
The Evil Emperor's enormous eye was reflected on the Sky Screen, becoming the object of everyone's faith.
They raised their arms, excitement showing on their faces.
"Lord Evil Emperor will win!"
"The Sun Moon Empire is invincible!"
These words soon reached the Sky Screen.
After seeing them, a trace of displeasure flashed through the Evil Emperor's enormous eye.
"Humans are so boring."
It was hunting the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm for the special power within his body.
It had nothing to do with the Sun Moon Empire.
Yet in those humans' mouths, this chase had already become an opportunity for the Sun Moon Empire to display its power.
"This emperor is merely chasing a worm."
"What exactly are they so happy about?"
The images continued.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm finally reached the shore of the Lake of Life.
He glanced back.
The Evil Emperor's enormous eye already obscured half the sky.
Black spiritual power surged toward him like a tide.
The Sky Dream Ice Silkworm immediately plunged into the lake.
A great spray of water burst across the surface.
The next instant.
A golden figure walked out from the depths of the forest.
A black robe hung down to his feet.
Long golden hair flowed loosely behind his shoulders.
Those golden eyes lifted, settling on the enormous eye in the sky.
Di Tian had appeared.
He did not strike immediately.
He merely stood beside the Lake of Life, blocking the Evil Emperor's path forward.
The Evil Emperor's figure slowly came to a stop.
Two forces of spiritual power collided above the lake.
Silver moonlight was sliced into countless fragments by black and golden light.
Violent ripples spread across the entire Lake of Life.
In the Star Dou Great Forest.
Di Tian looked up at himself in the images.
Xiong Jun immediately straightened.
"Lord Di Tian has appeared!"
The Myriad Demon King also put away his earlier casual manner.
Bi Ji gazed at the Sky Screen, a little more anticipation in her eyes.
"The Evil Emperor has finally met Di Tian."
Gu Yuena stood on the surface of the lake.
Her gaze lingered on Di Tian, then fell on the distant Evil Emperor.
Back then, she had been asleep.
Di Tian had been the only one in that core region who could represent the Star Dou Great Forest.
He had also been the one to stop the Evil Emperor that had intruded here.
Inside Heaven Dou City.
The soul masters looked at that black-robed figure, all of them stunned.
[Who is this person?] [Is he a soul master too?] [Why can he stand beside the Lake of Life?] [Could he be the master of the Star Dou Great Forest?] [There are powerful humans in the Star Dou Great Forest too?]
In Spirit City.
Before the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong looked at Di Tian on the Sky Screen, and her gaze changed.
She had never seen this person.
Yet merely standing there, he exerted immense pressure.
Inside the Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu was likewise watching Di Tian.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's brows were tightly furrowed.
"This person isn't human."
Demon Subduing Douluo turned his head.
"You know him?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo did not answer immediately.
He had lived on the continent for many long years and had heard many ancient rumors.
In those rumors, there had once been mention of a black-eyed golden dragon.
It was just that such a being had never truly shown itself.
"I don't know him."
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at the Sky Screen.
"But I once heard my elders mention him."
"According to the rumors, a group of ancient soul beasts exists in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon is among them."
The expressions of the worshippers in the hall changed at the same time.
"The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon?"
"Does this kind of soul beast really exist?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded.
"In the past, they were only rumors."
"Now it seems those rumors were all true."
At that moment, the barrage of comments erupted completely.
[Wait, where did this Black-Eyed Dragon King come from?]
[Where the hell had this brought me?]
[Was this still the Star Dou Great Forest?]
[How had the Evil Emperor chasing a Sky Dream Ice Silkworm drawn out so many powerful Soul Beasts?]
[What was that Golden-Eyed Black Dragon's cultivation level?]
[Which was stronger, it or the Evil Emperor?]
[To think the Star Dou Great Forest harbored such a being!]
