The Soul Beasts' Choice
"Wow! My God, what a huge pit!"
Not long after Qian Nuo left, Bi Ji and the other four dared to arrive at the front line. Looking at the huge crater in front of them, they all swallowed hard and gasped.
It's not an exaggeration; this enormous pit in front of us is truly huge! It's just too big!!
The pit starts with the outermost circle, which is the largest and widest, and extends for at least ten meters!
All the rubble fell below.
"That human just now seemed to only have four Soul Ring, and they were all 100,000 years old!"
"With this human around, our Soul Beast Clan is going to be suppressed again!"
"Damn it!! Why do you always bully our Soul Beast Clan? You despicable humans!!!"
Led by the Yao Ling, the other Ferocious Beast also spoke up angrily.
"Strange, if that's the case, then why doesn't he absorb Xiong Jun's Soul Ring? That's 450,000 years old!"
Bi Ji frowned, looking somewhat puzzled.
"Soul Ring are invisible; even with these pebbles, they can't be covered up. They'll definitely float away. Why haven't they floated away yet? Could it be that Xiong Jun hasn't died?"
"But even so, why didn't that human finish him off? Did he not want to absorb it? Or was he unable to absorb it yet?"
Upon hearing this, even the Ferocious Beast found it very suspicious.
They quickly pried open the pile of rubble, but instead of seeing Xiong Jun's enormous body, they found only blood, no severed limbs.
This made them even more confused.
However, the next second, they suddenly sensed the presence of Xiong Jun.
After moving the last stone, the Soul Beast were stunned!
Because below was a shallow pit, and inside that pit lay a golden-haired bear cub, about the size of a human baby.
What the hell is this?
"The aura is definitely emanating from it, there's no mistake."
"Could it be Xiong Jun's offspring? And its body was completely obliterated in the explosion?"
"No, the Xiong Jun is male, and he can't reproduce."
"So, could this be Xiong Jun?"
"This kid was so cute when he was little, I really wanted to pinch his cheeks."
The Ferocious Beast were all discussing it, filled with curiosity, doubt, and confusion, wanting an answer.
"Right now, there's only this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear here. Let's take it back to Di Tian Lord. They're from the Divine Realm; they should know something."
Bi Ji reached out and hugged Xiong Jun.
"That's all we can do now. Let's go back and report on the existence of that terrifying human."
"It's not that we didn't want to help, but it was simply too late and impossible for us to intervene. That guy's attack was truly terrifying!"
"Even Xiong Jun's strong defense is gone, let alone us."
The Yao Ling and other Ferocious Beast murmured.
The surrounding trees and rocks were gone, and the area had become a vast plain.
A radius of a thousand miles!!
The Star Dou Great Forest is enormous, covering an area of a thousand miles and accounting for one percent of the total territory.
Carrying the small, Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, they quickly returned to the deepest part of the space.
At this moment, Di Tian, who was inside, was restless ever since he learned of Qian Nuo's terrifying strength, worried that Bi Ji and the others would also meet the same fate of being hunted down.
Although Bi Ji is 600,000 years old, her attack and defense capabilities are not strong. She only survived six heavenly lightning baptisms because of her good talent and luck.
However, when the space fluctuated and the five people returned safely, Di Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It is now almost certain that Xiong Jun is dead.
What we need most right now is to protect these people and, incidentally, promote the oldest Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear to succeed the Xiong Jun.
However, at this moment, Di Tian's eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Bi Ji's hands, where he saw a very small Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear being held.
"This is... the aura of the Xiong Jun. Could it be the offspring left behind by the Xiong Jun before his death?"
"Its aura is a perfect match with Xiong Jun's, almost 100%!"
"If it weren't for its appearance, I would doubt whether it was actually Xiong Jun himself."
Di Tian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said with some surprise, "How come this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear cub doesn't show any Soul Power fluctuations at all? Is it a useless piece of trash that can't cultivate?"
Soul Beast, whether weak or powerful, possess Soul Power at birth. Weaker ones typically live for a few years, while stronger ones, like the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, are at least a hundred years old; the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear clan has no cubs under a hundred years old. But this one in front of us doesn't.
"Yes, that's very strange. If it's the offspring of the Xiong Jun, a powerful 45-year-old Ferocious Beast like it would likely have offspring that are at least a thousand or even ten thousand years old! How could there be none?"
Bi Ji is also quite strange.
Xiong Jun is currently asleep, and no one knows when he will wake up.
At this moment, the Lake of Life stirred again.
A piece of jade emerged from below.
A soft voice emanated from within the seven-colored jade. "This is the Xiong Jun, there's no mistake. It must have chosen to convert all its years into defense at the most critical moment, returning itself to its juvenile stage to save its life."
"Turn all years into defense?"
Everyone was shocked; this was the first time they had ever heard of such a thing.
The seven-colored jade shimmered with light. "Not bad, this is a rare ability of the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear."
"Greetings, Lord!" the Ferocious Beast immediately said respectfully.
Di Tian asked, "Since it converted all its years into defense and now has no Soul Power left, can it still cultivate back?"
"I don't know either; it's up to fate."
"Let's see how it is after it wakes up. Although it has reverted to its juvenile stage, it still retains all the memories from before its reversion."
After a long silence, the seven-colored jade stone gave this reply.
"That human is dangerous. None of you should leave this small spatial world for the time being. As for the Soul Beast outside, Di Tian, go and issue an order: do not leave the Star Dou Great Forest, and stop the beast tides, at least until that human ascends to the Divine Realm."
The seven-colored jade continued to shimmer and emit sounds.
The opponent is so powerful, and Evil at that; they could definitely become a god in the future, after all, they are human.
If it's Soul Beast, then forget about it.
"Your Majesty, I understand." Di Tian nodded respectfully.
The seven-colored jade stone sank to the bottom.
Di Tian looked at Xiong Jun and said to Bi Ji, "Put it over there. You all watch it and wait for it."
"Yes!" Bi Ji and the other Ferocious Beast nodded.
So Di Tian left the small world and came out. He then used his powerful divine sense to cover the entire Star Dou Great Forest, directly invading the Sea of Spirit of all the Soul Beast, issuing this order, and using his powerful dragon might to intimidate the disobedient ones.
So he turned around and returned to the space.
On the other side, a sword aura blasted open the pile of rocks, and a disheveled Chen Xin carried the unconscious and heavily injured Ning Fengzhi out.
Ning Fengzhi was still breathing and had not died. He needed to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as soon as possible.
This was truly a near-death experience; it was extremely dangerous!
He activated his flying sword and quickly headed towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School. He was currently using his Soul Power to protect Ning Fengzhi and temporarily suppress his injuries.
"I never imagined that I, Chen Xin, would one day be so pathetic and powerless!"
Chen Xin sighed sadly.
