Chapter 59: Di Tian
"Shall we go find Di Tian?" Du Qianjue Absolutes was eager.
Snow Empress blinked and agreed to the suggestion. After all, Di Tian couldn't do anything to her; meeting him wouldn't hurt.
Holding Du Qianjue hand, Snow Empress turned into an ice-blue stream of light, heading straight for the Land of the Beasts.
Lake of Life
The sleeping Di Tian opened his bright golden dragon eyes, a hint of confusion in them. He sensed a familiar presence. Whether friend or foe, someone was knocking on his door, so he had to go out and see. Stretching his scales, Di Tian disappeared into the lake.
Above the Lake of Life, a man dressed in black, with an aura as deep as an abyss, quietly appeared. He wore a black robe embroidered with golden scales, stood nearly two meters tall, had a towering figure, and long black hair cascading like a waterfall down his back, with only a strand of light golden hair draping in front.
He was the number one beast in the fierce beast rankings, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.
Sensing the rapidly approaching presence from afar, Di Tian squinted his eyes slightly, a faint dragon's might emanating from him.
"Whoosh!"
"Di Tian, what's happening?" A green light appeared beside Di Tian, revealing Bi Ji. She wore a luxurious emerald-green dress, a pair of pure white wings elegantly flapping behind her, and her long hair, brimming with life, was adorned with a headdress made of white feathers. Her gentle, beautiful face showed a hint of worry.
She was the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, ranked fourth among the top ten fierce beasts. Apart from Di Tian, she was the only one who could live by the Lake of Life for extended periods.
In the stories of "Douluo Dalu 3: Legend of the Dragon King" and "Douluo Dalu 4: Ultimate Fighting," Bi Ji and Zi Ji, the ninth-ranked Hell Demon Dragon King, were both wives of Di Tian. In "Ultimate Fighting," she even became a soul spirit after being widowed. It's unknown if they are in a marital relationship now.
Whether others are curious, Du Qianjue didn't know, but he was indeed quite curious.
The moment Du Qianjue and Snow Empress arrived at the Lake of Life, they saw a man and a woman floating in the air. Their attire and appearance confirmed their identities to Du Qianjue, even if they weren't in this dangerous land.
"snow Empress?" Di Tian's tone was solemn. "You've reached this level too? Why have you come to the Star Dou Forest?"
"I came to see an old friend. It's been nearly ten thousand years since we last met, hasn't it?" Snow Empress smiled.
"This level? What level?" Bi Ji was shocked. "Could it be that this ruler of the extreme north has also reached the eighty thousand-year cultivation level?"
Then, Bi Ji turned her gaze to Empress, and she was stunned again because he was holding Ice Empress' hand!
With Bi Ji's keen eyes, she could tell Du Qianjue was purely human. But how could a human have a relationship with Ice Empress?
Empress noticed Bi Ji's gaze and smiled politely at her.
Di Tian nodded slightly, a trace of melancholy in his eyes. "Yes, it's been almost ten thousand years. The last time we met was when the Angel God led humans to fight against us soul beasts."
"Back then, humans were so weak and few in number. Who could have imagined that today, humans have almost become the largest race on the continent?"
Di Tian turned his gaze to Empress.
"So, Ice Empress, why have you brought this human to my Star Dou Forest?" Di Tian's tone was sharp. "I sense the presence of more than one hundred-thousand-year soul beast on him. Although there's no resentment from a soul beast's death, it indicates he has more than one hundred-thousand-year soul ring."
"Aren't you afraid I'll keep him in the Star Dou Forest forever?"
"Feel free to try!" snow Empress' aura began to rise.
Empress squeezed Ice Empress' hand, signaling her to stay calm.
"Greetings, Beast God. I am Du Qianjue," Du Qianjue politely nodded, ignoring Di Tian's sharp gaze.
Di Tian remained silent, his eyes fixed on Du Qianjue.
"Yes, I do have more than one hundred-thousand-year soul ring. To be precise, I have seven." Du Qianjue chuckled, releasing his main martial spirit. Six blood-red soul rings rose from his feet.
Di Tian remained silent, but his aura grew more dangerous.
Du Qianjue retracted his main martial spirit and released his Chaos Dragon King martial spirit. A crimson-golden soul ring with ten blue-golden stripes and a hundred-thousand-year soul ring with four golden stripes appeared on him. His body also began to transform into a dragon.
He hadn't used his Chaos Dragon King martial spirit for a long time. This time, his cultivation had reached the seventy-level quasi-Soul Sage stage, and he had condensed a soul core. Supported by his powerful cultivation, his hands turned into grey-white dragon claws, his arms were surrounded by ice-blue and fiery-red streams, and a pair of red and blue gradient dragon wings appeared on his back. The sound of wind and thunder echoed as his wings flapped.
A dragon's might even purer and more majestic than Di Tian's burst forth from his body, causing Di Tian's pupils to contract.
"Beast God, does this aura seem familiar to you?" Du Qianjue spread his arms, smiling slightly.
"Uncle Bing, Aunt Huo's aura..." Di Tian's fists clenched involuntarily, his voice trembling.
He was the son of the former Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, who was also one of the nine dragon kings, the Dark Dragon King. So, Di Tian must have known the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings when he was young. However, during the war in the God Realm, Di Tian didn't even have the qualification to watch. He only knew that after the battle, the dragon clan declined, and soul beasts could no longer become gods. This resentment was directed towards the gods in the God Realm.
The Silver Dragon King was born only after most of the battles in the God Realm had ended, knowing little more than Di Tian.
"I inherited the legacy left by the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings before their fall. Their dragon souls fused to become my second martial spirit." Du Qianjue retracted his Chaos Dragon King martial spirit and returned to Ice Empress' side.
"What do you want to say?" Di Tian took a deep breath, controlling his emotions.
"I want to say that I haven't hunted any soul beasts. They all willingly sacrificed themselves to me." Du Qianjue waved his hand, and several soul beast spirits appeared beside him.
"Thanks to their trust, they help me become a god, and I will repay them by reviving them and granting them eternal life."
The spirits of the Ice Empress, Tianmen, Little White, Ice Feather, Thunder Prison Vine, Earth Demon Bull, and Red Dragon lined up with Du Qianjue and Ice Empress.
The other six spirits nodded slightly in greeting to Di Tian, while Tianmenglared at him with hatred and ridicule.
You absorbed the most of my power, you bastard! Just wait and see how you envy me!
