In the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi currently resembled two savages, unaware of the fall of the Clear Sky Sect.
Their search for a soul beast over fifty thousand years old had left them utterly exhausted.
It wasn't that such soul beasts didn't exist, but rather their goal was far more ambitious: to find soul bones from the same lineage, a pursuit akin to reaching "hell."
However, encountering such a lineage was unlikely, and even if they did, they might not be a match for it.
The presence of two super Douluo deep within the Star Dou Great Forest eventually caught the attention of a supreme being, which explained their current wretched state.
Chen Xin's face was pale. He never imagined that with his 97th-level soul power and Ning Fengzhi's 96th-level support, they would still be no match for a single "soul beast."
If the beast had intended to kill them, escaping would have been impossible, and survival would have been out of the question.
"This can't possibly be a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!"
Even the most ferocious hundred-thousand-year soul beast had its limits.
They didn't even know what its true form was, yet just two attacks from it had left them utterly defeated.
Super soul beasts at the hundred-thousand-year level were equivalent to human Title Douluos at the 95th level, with the strongest reaching the 96th level.
This was because Title Douluos at this time lacked soul cores, making them less enduring in battle.
But this opponent appeared in human form, exuding an aura of majesty, with soul power as deep as an abyss. The oppressive soul power pressure made even Chen Xin, at the 97th level, tremble.
A super soul beast, equivalent to a 99th-level Title Douluo!
Indeed, they had encountered a super soul beast, and not just any super soul beast, the emperor of them all, Di Tian!
With Di Tian's strength, handling the two of them was effortless.
99th level?
It was worth noting that the gap between some 99th-level beings was even greater than the gap between a soul master and a Title Douluo.
Pseudo Demigod, Demigod, Quasi God!
Di Tian was undoubtedly a peak Quasi God-level powerhouse!
Even Tang Chen, who had regained his sanity, had only just stepped into the Demigod realm.
But Di Tian had surpassed the Demigod realm, reaching the peak of Quasi God!
If it weren't for the limitations of the Douluo Continent, Di Tian, as the Dragon God's guard captain, would never be limited to such strength.
The strength he displayed was merely what he was allowed to use, not the full extent of his power.
"You two can continue running. I'll give you the chance."
Just as Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi took a moment to rest, the terrifying figure appeared before them once more.
In truth, if it weren't for Ning Fengzhi's "special" status, the two would already be dead.
After all, disturbing the Silver Dragon King and his slumber was no small matter.
Hearing this, Chen Xin's hand holding the Seven Kill Sword trembled slightly.
What was this being's intention?
Playing cat and mouse?
"What exactly do you mean, sir?"
Unable to hold back, Chen Xin voiced his confusion.
Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi's Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda shone brightly, ready for a breakout.
"You insignificant ants, disturbing my slumber, and now you ask what I mean?"
"You greedy ants, already at the Title Douluo level, why do you still hunt soul beasts?"
"Is it merely for soul bones?"
Di Tian's face finally showed a hint of anger.
They had achieved the Title Douluo level, which was already a great mercy from the soul beasts. Yet, they still hunted high-level soul beasts for soul bones. Wasn't that courting death?
If it weren't for the divine aura on Ning Fengzhi, Di Tian would have already killed them.
Hearing this, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi forced a bitter smile. If possible, they wouldn't have hunted soul beasts.
After all, Chen Xin had been at the 96th level for many years without equipping a single soul bone.
Nor had he actively hunted high-level soul beasts to absorb their soul bones.
If it weren't for the divine trial, they wouldn't have come to the Star Dou Great Forest to slaughter high-level soul beasts.
"Slaughtering soul beasts is not our intention…"
Chen Xin looked at Di Tian, speaking with utmost seriousness.
He knew that if they couldn't persuade this being today, they wouldn't be leaving.
"???"
Di Tian's mind filled with question marks. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he flashed to Ning Fengzhi's side without hesitation, placing a hand on his shoulder.
Fast, too fast!
Chen Xin's pupils contracted. The power Di Tian had just used must have been spatial energy, right?
To wield spatial energy so effortlessly, his strength…
Chen Xin felt a chill run down his spine, his scalp tingling with fear.
Ning Fengzhi swallowed hard, not daring to move an inch.
After a moment, Di Tian released his hand, looking at Ning Fengzhi with a strange expression.
For a second-level god's inheritor, he didn't even have a single divine artifact. Moreover, as a god's inheritor, he hadn't obtained a single soul bone…
With such poor fortune, why had that god chosen him?
Di Tian fell into deep thought, feeling somewhat lost.
Had the gods of the divine realm fallen so low?
Ning Fengzhi: "???"
"You're a second-level god's inheritor, yet you're this poor?"
Di Tian couldn't help but voice his thoughts.
Hearing this, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were stunned, utterly baffled.
This being…
Recovering, Ning Fengzhi felt his face burn with embarrassment…
"Don't overthink it. As an inheritor of a support-type god, even if you became a god, you wouldn't be my match."
Ning Fengzhi's heart sank…
"Your purpose here must be for divine equipment, right?"
Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi exchanged glances, their eyes filled with shock.
Who exactly was this being?
"May I ask who you are, sir? Indeed, we are here for divine equipment."
Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands toward Di Tian. The fact that they hadn't been killed yet meant Di Tian still found them useful.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have spoken so much with them.
"I am the Beast God, Di Tian!"
"Gasp—"
Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin inhaled sharply. They never expected such a being to exist in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The Beast God, even if he wasn't a true god, he was likely close to it.
Di Tian, the name itself was domineering, fitting for the title of Beast God.
"May I ask if there is anything you need us to do, Beast God?"
Ning Fengzhi's words were tactful, preserving their dignity while acknowledging their inferiority.
As long as Di Tian had a task for them, they would survive today.
Unless, of course, Di Tian's intention was for them to die.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Di Tian smiled.
This was a clever human, no wonder he had been chosen by a god.
Even without great fortune, he had still become a god's inheritor.
"The divine equipment components you need, I can provide them to you, and of the highest quality!"
Hearing this, it was impossible not to be tempted!
