Yang Podi and Yang Tianyue gave a detailed explanation of the cultivation process for the Ultimate Metal technique, leaving the surrounding people amazed.
Yang Podi thought for a moment and continued, "Actually, Lingling should already be considered the Ultimate Wood, but it's a pity that the Nine Heart Begonia is not naturally aggressive, otherwise it would also be extremely powerful."
Yang Ping'an still seemed a little shaken. "Brother, who was that Xiong Jun just now? His cultivation method seemed a bit different from ours."
Yang Podi shook his head. "That Xiong Jun isn't human; it's Soul Beast. Its true form is Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, known as the Earth Ripper, capable of tearing apart giant dragons with its bare hands."
Yang Tianyue quickly spoke up, "Aren't Soul Beast supposed to be unable to transform? How can it switch between human and Soul Beast forms at will, and its strength doesn't seem to have decreased at all?"
" Tianyue, Xiong Jun is no ordinary Soul Beast. Normally, we only encounter ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. The 200,000-year Golden Scorpion Emperor we encountered recently was already beyond our imagination in terms of power."
"After Soul Beast exceeds two hundred thousand years, it is no longer an ordinary Soul Beast; it can be considered a Ferocious Beast Ferocious Beast, which is much stronger than an ordinary Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast."
" The Xiong Jun we encountered is probably close to 500,000 years old, and its strength is likely no weaker than Level 99 Limit Douluo among us Soul Master."
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment. They hadn't expected their opponent to be so powerful; it was simply unbelievable.
However, Yang Tianyue still asked with some doubt, "Brother, since these Ferocious Beast are so powerful, can't they just hide away and cultivate until they become incredibly strong?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "This world has rules. If Soul Beast is over 100,000 years old, it must undergo a lightning tribulation every 100,000 years. If it cannot withstand the tribulation, it will be reduced to ashes. If it can withstand the tribulation, its strength will become even more powerful."
"Tian Yue, you need to be especially careful. In your eighth trial as the Sea God, you need to hunt down the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. That's a soul beast that's nearly a million years old. Even the Sea God Douluo Poseidon is no match for it, especially in the ocean, where it's practically invincible."
Yang Tianyue was a little conflicted. "Brother, since the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King is so powerful, do we still have any hope of completing the Eighth Trial of the Sea God?"
" Tianyue, what are you worried about? Aren't there still the rest of us? You should cultivate to Level 99 as soon as possible, then we can all kill this Deep Sea Demonic Whale King together."
"But brother, I was hoping to get the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King as my Ninth Soul Ring, but it looks like that's out of the question."
Yang Podi shook his head. " Soul Master's Ninth Soul Ring simply cannot absorb the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's Soul Ring unless it is willing to sacrifice itself for you; otherwise, there is basically no hope."
"By the way, Tianyue, the halberd technique you used just now seemed completely different. Did you encounter some kind of extraordinary event again?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyue burst into laughter. After laughing, she said proudly, "Brother, during the battle just now, I think I heard Lord Sea God's voice. He said he would teach me the Golden Thirteen Halberds, but he only taught me three moves. I still need to practice more to master them."
Yang Podi smiled and nodded, thinking to himself: This Sea God treats Tianyue quite well. It seems that Tianyue really has a chance to inherit the Sea God's position.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Yang Podi continued, "Then you need to carefully practice the halberd technique, as it is quite different from the Soul Breaking Spear technique."
However, Yang Tianyue suddenly remembered something. "Brother, what was that last sound? And what was that thing that blocked your last move? It looked like a dragon claw. What was that?"
" Black Dragon Di Tian, the most powerful Soul Beast in the world, is probably without equal." Yang Podi's eyes revealed a hint of ruthlessness at this moment.
Yang Podi himself did not expect that the Ferocious Beast that would only appear after ten thousand years would actually appear now, and even two of them would appear at the same time.
If it were just a Xiong Jun, Yang Podi would be confident in killing it and taking it as a Soul Ring, but he had absolutely no confidence in dealing with the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.
In terms of cultivation level, Di Tian should be 800,000 years old now. Although he may not be as old as the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, Di Tian has a noble bloodline and is a pure Black Dragon Clan. Even in Douluo II, Di Tian is undoubtedly the number one expert. You should know that the current Peerless Douluo is much weaker than the Peerless Douluo ten thousand years later. At least the current Peerless Douluo does not have Dual Soul Cores.
At this moment, Yang Podi was also puzzled: Logically speaking, these Ferocious Beast shouldn't have appeared so early. In the original story, Bibi Dong almost killed the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, and those Ferocious Beast didn't react at all. Why were they suddenly appearing now? Could it be because he killed a few more Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?
However, Yang Podi has indeed killed quite a few Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. Not counting the pseudo- Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast like the Thunder Dragon, Space Bone Dragon, Hell Leopard, and Golden Behemoth, he has now killed the Titan Giant Python, the Godly Taotie Bull, the Evil Orca King, the Mutant Ghost Vine, and the Golden Scorpion Emperor. It seems that in terms of quantity, he is almost comparable to the Body Sect in later generations, especially since that Golden Scorpion Emperor is Ferocious Beast.
After resting for a few days, the group prepared to return to the Heavenly Pursuit Academy. Although they did not reach Level 99 this time, it was still quite good and they barely met their expectations. The only regret was that they did not find the Sky Azure Bull Python and the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
However, Yang Podi still had a lingering doubt: What exactly happened in the Star Dou Great Forest? Why did the Sky Azure Bull Python, the Titan Giant Ape, and Xiao Wu disappear? Could it be that Xiao Wu was really captured by Chrysanthemum Douluo? But they shouldn't have been able to capture the Sky Azure Bull Python.
Deep within the Lake of Life the Star Dou Great Forest, Xiong Jun was sitting casually on the ground, while a stunningly beautiful woman beside him emitted a green light and was healing Xiong Jun.
At this moment, several people were standing nearby. Among them was a very tall man dressed entirely in black, but his eyes were golden. This was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian.
Di Tian spoke with a somewhat gloomy tone, " Xiong Jun, I didn't expect your strength to have weakened so much. You were almost defeated by a few brats."
Xiong Jun said casually, "These kids may be young, but they're quite strong. You didn't get the better of them, did you?"
"These children have special identities, and I just couldn't intervene. Otherwise, I would have dealt with them long ago. And why did you take it upon yourself to deal with them?"
Xiong Jun's expression also turned serious. "These kids killed so many of our Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, especially the Golden Scorpion Emperor. If they keep going like this, I'm afraid they'll wipe out Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest. You know, the Golden Scorpion Emperor was one of us."
"You call yourself the Beast God, yet you stand by and watch coldly. You're a disgrace to us Soul Beast. I think I should be the Beast God from now on."
Di Tian suppressed his anger and finally sighed, " Xiong Jun, I think you'd better be careful. Those children have the aura of gods on them. Our primary task is to protect our lord and hide his information. If those gods in the Divine Realm discover this, you won't be able to bear the consequences."
Xiong Jun seemed to become serious as well. "Since the master is afraid of being exposed, why did he send me to rescue that little rabbit outside? That little rabbit chose to transform into a human, making her a traitor to our Soul Beast Clan."
Di Tian shook his head. "This matter concerns the long-term plan of my Soul Beast Clan. You must not mess it up, or I will kill you myself."
Suddenly, the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to shift slightly, and even a phantom door appeared. Di Tian's expression changed instantly, and he disappeared from his spot, quickly entering the door.
Within the void of the Lake of Life lies the inner world that Di Tian entered. Besides Di Tian, there is also an enormous silver dragon here.
Di Tian bowed very respectfully. "Greetings, Your Majesty. May I ask why Your Majesty has summoned me here?"
The silver dragon opened one of its enormous eyes, seemingly able to see through heaven and earth. " Di Tian, how did things go?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the matter has been settled. The little rabbit in the Lake of Life has been rescued, and the three Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast have been properly taken care of. Now we await the next steps."
"That's good. These three little Soul Beast are of great importance; we mustn't let anything happen to them."
Di Tian seemed somewhat puzzled and asked, "My lord, they are just three small Soul Beast. Why do you value them so much?"
The silver dragon did not answer Di Tian's question, but instead spoke calmly, "I have recently observed Douluo Star, and the fortune on Douluo Star has undergone a tremendous change. Originally, the fortune of the entire Douluo Star was concentrated on three people, but now the fortune has changed drastically. There are two other people who also have very strong fortune. The fortune of the chosen one we are planning is actually decreasing. I'm afraid that an unknown variable has appeared in this world."
Di Tian seemed somewhat puzzled. "My lord, can fortune still change?"
The silver dragon closed its enormous eyes. "Of course, fortune can change. Every world is unknown, possessing infinite variations, and also countless anomalies."
" Douluo Star is the birthplace of the Divine Realm. Whenever a chosen one is born, it means that a new god will appear in this world. Tens of thousands of years ago, the Sea God and the Angel God possessed unparalleled fortune, which enabled them to achieve godhood through faith."
"Now that the fortunes of this world are concentrated among these five individuals, this realm is likely to undergo a tremendous transformation."
Di Tian still had some doubts and asked, "What does this have to do with our Soul Beast Clan? We failed back then, and I'm afraid the gods of the Divine Realm won't allow our Soul Beast Clan to become gods."
The silver dragon remained silent for a moment before speaking, "The gods of the Divine Realm certainly won't allow our Soul Beast Clan to become gods, but if someone is a relative of the chosen one, they can go to the Divine Realm to become a god as well. Moreover, the Divine Realm allows those with Soul Beast bloodlines to become gods, especially if that person is the chosen one."
After hearing this, Di Tian understood his master's meaning: for the sake of the Soul Beast Clan, he would spare no effort.
If Yang Podi were to hear the silver dragon's words, he would probably spit in its face: How could someone with such low intelligence become the ruler of the Soul Beast? And what kind of people did he choose? His plan was indeed good, even successful, but which of those people he planned to involve had ever made a single contribution to the Soul Beast Clan?
