Because of Bi Ji's influence in this region, even Di Tian has to consider her opinions in many places.
These Ferocious Beast gathered together not only because of the Auspicious Beast, but also because of the Soul Beast group led by Bi Ji. A long time ago, they captured an Ice Silkworm with a cultivation of over 900,000 years. The existence of that thing led to the birth of over a hundred high-level ten-thousand -Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast with a cultivation of over 50,000 years in that Soul Beast group.
Previously, Di Tian had been sleeping in the Lake of Life and was unaware of this matter, but during the competition for the Auspicious Beast, Di Tian discovered the existence of the Ice Silkworm.
Then, Di Tian snatched the Ice Silkworm to the Lake of Life, where the Ferocious Beast beasts and the Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that surrounded it could also absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth emitted by the Ice Silkworm to improve themselves.
When Zi JI first came to compete for the Auspicious Beast, she had not yet reached the age of 200,000. It wasn't until a thousand years ago, with the help of the Auspicious Beast, that she survived the 200,000-year Heavenly Tribulation and became Ferocious Beast.
Bi Ji told him that Zi JI spent most of her time in seclusion cultivating, and that the nature of the Dragon Clan was well-known. In addition, she rarely interacted with others, so Zi JI always seemed somewhat aloof and had a coldness that kept strangers at bay.
However, due to his special circumstances, Zi JI treated him relatively kindly.
As Xuan Ming was pondering, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and Bi Ji, having smelled the fragrance, returned from the Ice and Snow Paradise.
She stared at him longingly.
Xuan Ming was about to take a couple of bites, felt a wave of exhaustion and had no choice but to prepare a portion for Bi Ji and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion respectively.
Bi Ji took the plate, gently sniffed the aroma of the roasted meat, and said with a smile, "Thank you."
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion wasn't so particular; it reached out to grab the roasted meat, but Xuan Ming stopped it with chopsticks and gave it a small fork instead. "Use this."
"Oh." The Three-Eyed Golden Lion used its claws to hold the small fork and began to eat, imitating Bi Ji.
"Auntie! This is so delicious!"
"This is delicious too!"
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion ate with its mouth full of oil, mumbling incoherently while still forking another piece of freshly roasted meat with its fork.
Seeing Xuan Ming busily turning the meat on the grill and preparing plates and utensils for everyone, Bi Ji felt she was being a little impolite. She gracefully moved to Xuan Ming's side, picked up a piece of grilled meat with a fork, and offered it to Xuan Ming, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback. "Thank you."
Xuan Ming took a bite of the roasted meat with the fork handed to him by Bi Ji. After being busy for half a day, Master Xuan finally got to eat his first hot bite.
Seeing this, Zi JI's expression became somewhat unnatural. She stood up, picked up a piece of roasted meat, and fed it to Xuan Ming, saying, "Here you go."
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback. "Thank you."
As he spoke, Xuan Ming habitually took a bite of the roasted meat.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was happily eating nearby when it saw Bi Ji and Zi JI bringing food to Xuan Ming. It tilted its head, mimicking their actions, and leaned closer to Xuan Ming, picking up a piece of roasted meat. " Xuan Ming, you should eat too!"
Xuan Ming's expression was somewhat unnatural, with a bad premonition, but he still took a bite of the roasted meat in front of him. "Thank you."
However, before he could even swallow the roasted meat in his mouth, his bad premonition came true.
Bi Ji, Zi JI, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, and three pieces of roasted meat have been served again!
Bi Ji smiled gently.
Zi JI glared at her menacingly.
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked on expectantly.
After a brief silence, Xuan Ming used his unique advantage, employing his other two mouths to eat all three portions of roasted meat that were fed to him.
"Thanks."
"..."
Hahahaha!
"As expected of my little brother! You're so talented!"
Below the Lake of Life, the Ice Dragon King, witnessing this scene, nearly burst out laughing.
Whenever faced with such a difficult choice, Xuan Ming always manages to forcefully resolve it in ways she never expected!
Seeing this, the Silver Dragon King's lips curled into a slight smile. "How about another one?"
What will he do?
The Ice Dragon King stopped laughing. "You'll see soon enough."
As soon as he finished speaking, a blue light suddenly emanated from Xuan Ming's body, and the Blue Silver Emperor Vine stretched out. Ah Yin also materialized as a phantom and jumped out, saying, "Let me help you."
As she spoke, Ah Yin revealed a sly smile, picked up a small plate, and served Xuan Ming a portion as well.
Seeing this, Zi JI and the others seemed to be showing some competitive spirit, and they started feeding the animals again.
Four portions!
Xuan Ming took a deep breath, and amidst the differing gazes of the others, a tranquil white light suddenly spread out.
Bi Ji and the others felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, and when they came to their senses, Xuan Ming had already eaten all four portions of roasted meat.
"Thanks."
"..."
Chapter 217 Dark Demon Evil God Tiger
Sunlight filters through the dappled gaps in the leaves, gently scattering across the lake's surface like golden threads, shimmering with sparkling spots of light as the water ripples slightly.
After Xuan Ming mastered the Yin-Yang Soul Core, Di Tian, following the Ice Dragon King's instructions, began a new round of teaching, focusing on developing Xuan Ming Black Dragon Martial Soul's innate abilities.
Time, space, darkness, light, and spirit—these are the innate attributes of the Black Dragon Martial Soul. Combined with ice and fire, and the Thunder Bloodline obtained in Thunder Valley, Xuan Ming now possesses eight attributes.
The time and space attributes are a bit troublesome. Xuan Ming needs to cultivate the Black Dragon Martial Soul to a higher level before he can develop them further. He doesn't have the ability to do that now. But Di Tian knows more about the dark and light attributes, so he focused on teaching him those.
Of course, it wasn't a hands-on teaching method; Di Tian directly unleashed his Ultimate Darkness Domain, forcibly stimulating Xuan Ming's own dark attributes.
Through the clash of realms and the thrill of life and death, Xuan Ming's own dark attributes are forcibly guided to evolve.
Simply put, it's either become stronger or die!
It must be said that this is indeed a very effective method.
It's just a bit exhausting!
"Aren't you being a little too harsh?"
Looking at Xuan Ming, who had just finished training and was once again receiving treatment from Bi Ji, Zi JI's expression was somewhat solemn, and her brows furrowed slightly.
Di Tian's teaching method was extremely simple and direct: he would explain the key points and then get to work!
Unless Xuan Ming comprehends and masters the techniques of the Di Tian Sect during the battle, this one-sided beating will never stop!
With Bi Ji constantly providing healing and recovery, and the Blue Silver Emperor gathering his Life energy to the fullest extent, plus the dragon bones on Xuan Ming's body providing protection, he could not be killed unless God Level being intervened.
After realizing this, Di Tian seemed to have lost all sense of propriety!
Since we can't kill him anyway, let's beat him to death!
To stimulate Xuan Ming's survival instinct to the greatest extent!
"This is what he requested," Di Tian said.
"He wanted me to use the fastest method, and this is the fastest method."
"But will this really make me stronger?" Zi JI asked with some doubt.
"You know that excessively stimulating the survival instinct can lead to a mental breakdown."
While the thrill of being on the brink of death can indeed maximize one's potential in a short period of time, this kind of stimulation also carries significant risks.
Whether human or Soul Beast, there is a limit to how much stimulation one can tolerate.
Too much, or excessive, will lead to mental breakdown and numbness!
"Does he look like he's about to break down?" Di Tian asked.
Zi JI frowned. Xuan Ming showed no signs of collapsing. Faced with Di Tian's overwhelming power, he became increasingly excited, and his control over his various abilities was rapidly improving and becoming stronger.
"Was he... tortured?" Zi JI couldn't help but wonder.
Any mentally sound person would have collapsed long ago after undergoing this kind of training!
But Xuan Ming didn't seem stressed at all; on the contrary, he appeared quite relaxed.
"The pressure he's under is more terrifying than you can imagine. He won't break down at this level alone," Di Tian said.
"As for the torment... he lived in constant agony."
"..."
"Why don't you... rest for a few days?" Seeing Xuan Ming's severe injuries, which were being eroded by Ultimate Darkness and made recovery extremely difficult, Bi Ji couldn't bear it.
Xuan Ming's regenerative ability is indeed terrifying, comparable to the Blue Silver Emperor's immortality, but Di Tian's Ultimate Darkness attribute can annihilate all Life!
Even the Blue Silver Emperor's "immortality" will gradually wither away in the Ultimate Darkness of the Di Tian!
Although Di Tian didn't kill him, the wounds on Xuan Ming's body, eroded by Ultimate Darkness, were not just simple pain.
"No need, I don't have much time," Xuan Ming said softly with his eyes closed.
Di Tian's Ultimate Darkness attribute did indeed greatly suppress his recovery ability, but this erosion also prompted his own dark attribute to continuously evolve, generating extremely strong resistance to it.
Moreover, this repeated torment and recovery accelerated his absorption of the Thunder Core Energy.
In less than two months, he leveled up again, reaching level sixty.
The Soul Master Tournament is just around the corner, and it's about time for him to head back...
Just as Bi Ji was about to try to persuade him again, a violent commotion suddenly broke out in the forest.
A huge black shadow suddenly burst out of the forest and landed heavily in front of Di Tian.
It was none other than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, who had been beaten half to death!
"A mixed zone? This thing isn't even in the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Xiong Jun walked over in a sullen voice and plopped down on the ground.
"Not in the Star Dou Great Forest?" Bi Ji was slightly taken aback.
"This guy was injured by the Sky Azure Bull Python over there a thousand years ago, and then driven out of the Star Dou Great Forest by the Titan Giant Ape," Xiong Jun said speechlessly.
"You even got it wrong there, making me search for months in the mixed zone for nothing."
"Then where did you find it?" Bi Ji asked, puzzled.
"We've traveled over a thousand miles north of the Star Dou Great Forest. It was the route the Myriad Demon King found. When I got there, that entire forest of Soul Beast had been devoured by this guy." As he spoke, Xiong Jun, who had been severely injured by Di Tian and had not yet Xuan Ming.
"Hey, you got beaten up too?"
Xuan Ming sat up, glanced at Xiong Jun without saying a word, and then turned his gaze to the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that Xiong Jun had crippled.
"Did it use its Evil God Hook?" Xuan Ming asked.
" Evil God Hook? What Evil God Hook?" Xiong Jun asked in confusion.
Xuan Ming was slightly taken aback. The next moment, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, which was lying on the ground pretending to be on its last breath, suddenly turned its blood-red eyes into a dark blue. A pure black aura appeared around its body, like a dark cloud, propelling it towards Bi Ji.
Xuan Ming subconsciously opened his domain, but under the protection of that evil god's aura, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was completely unaffected by the domain and arrived in front of Bi Ji in just an instant.
The Evil God Hook had transformed into Evil God Thorn, and a burst of intense black light erupted, turning into a huge black hole that generated an extremely terrifying suction force.
Just as Bi Ji was about to be sucked into the black hole, Xuan Ming pushed her away. He activated the Winter's Wrath, and a terrifying chill burst forth, freezing the black hole for a moment before quickly recovering. However, it still failed to affect the eerie aura of the evil god.
"You're courting death!" Di Tian's eyes narrowed, and he swung out a claw. The terrifying dark claw struck towards the tail of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, intending to interrupt the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's attack. However, contrary to his expectations, the Evil God Thorn only slightly deflected, directly shattering his attack.
At the same time, Xiong Jun, realizing he had been tricked, was enraged. He activated the Sky-Rending Claw, which, like a bolt of lightning tearing the sky apart, carried a terrifying power capable of destroying the world and slammed into the strange layer of evil god aura protecting the body of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Just a second ago, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was congratulating itself on its disguise, but now it let out a miserable cry. Its seemingly indestructible aura of evil god was quickly cracked by the powerful force of the Sky-Rending Claw, like thin ice being exposed to the scorching sun, and then it shattered completely.
However, the suction force emanating from the black hole was not affected in the slightest, and instead sucked in Xuan Ming, who was closest to it, along with the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The whole process took only a fleeting moment.
" Xuan Ming!"
Di Tian roared, his Ultimate Darkness Domain surging wildly as he rushed towards the black hole, attempting to pull Xuan Ming out at the last moment.
However, the power of that black hole was extremely strange, swallowing up Di Tian's power as well. He could only watch helplessly as Xuan Ming and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger were completely sucked into it. The black hole then slowly closed and disappeared.
" Xiong Jun! What have you done?!" Di Tian glared angrily at Xiong Jun.
"I don't know!" Xiong Jun looked completely bewildered.
"I clearly crippled it!"
