The Legend of the Dragon King

“It felt as if someone was spying on us, but it only lasted for a moment before vanishing completely. My spiritual power clearly came into contact with the spy earlier, but I didn’t manage to seize it.” Tang Wulin had a rather grim expression. He had a Spirit Domain spiritual cultivation base, but the opponent easily broke away from his spiritual detection. The significance of this matter spoke for itself.

“Leave here, quickly.” A familiar voice suddenly arose in the depths of Tang Wulin’s mind. Not only that, the Silver Dragon King scale hanging around his neck had turned scorching hot.

Was that Gu Yue? He had heard Gu Yue.

“Run!” Tang Wulin immediately called out without the slightest hesitation.

Even though the group of people had no idea as to what was happening, they obeyed Tang Wulin without hesitation. Putting their trust in him, they immediately turned around and ran.

Meanwhile, everything in the surrounding area suddenly darkened. It felt like a screen of night had suddenly hung down upon the great forest that had been filled with life source. A thick aura of darkness surged in from all directions. The gloominess weighed down on everyone making them feel suffocated.

“The humans have a phrase. ‘To hit the jackpot’. I’ve been looking for you for so long but little did I know that you’d surrender yourself so easily.”

A deep voice echoed from all directions. It carried a formless dominance that sounded like thousands of beasts roaring in their ears.

The group were all feeling as if their state of mind was threatened and had a drastic change of countenance at once. What sort of creature was that? How was it capable of exerting so much pressure on them?

Was that a Limit Douluo-ranked soul beast?

“Maintain the formation,” Tang Wulin called out softly. Golden radiance shimmered on his body as his three-word battle armor, Dragon Moon Song, was unleashed and attached itself to him in a split second. Not only he, but also the remaining six of the Shrek Seven Monsters and the Gale Demon Saber Sima Jinchi had each unleashed their own three-word battle armor.

The group had completed their three-word battle armors during the return journey from the Star Luo Continent. They were all true three-word battle armor masters now. It had also contributed to Tang Wulin’s confidence in rebuilding Shrek Academy.

Tang Wulin was still the person with the deepest feelings and found himself to be most shocked by the situation. Despite his Spirit Domain spiritual cultivation base, he could clearly sense that his spiritual power had been subdued earlier when the opponent’s spiritual power arrived, as if it was attempting to blot out the sky and blanket the earth. The opponent’s power was as deep as an abyssal prison with the strength of heaven and earth. His spiritual power was lower than the opponent by more than one rank.

Tang Wulin was afraid that the opponent had reached the peak of Spirit Domain cultivation base. The opponent’s spiritual cultivation base had even surpassed the most powerful enemy Tang Wulin had ever encountered, the Underworld King Ha Luosa.

In the darkness, shadowy figures appeared in succession.

On the left flank, there was a youth with a look of graceful innocence. It felt as if all the plants around him were coming to life as he moved forward. Yellow eyes began to grow on each of the trees, emitting a strange, monstrous glow.

On the right flank was a massive man of enormous height. He walked forward in great strides. Tang Wulin had met this person before. It was the man who once attacked them when he had just left Blood God Army years ago. Had it not been for the heavy ion beam, things might have turned very grim that very day.

Sensing something, Tang Wulin suddenly turned around. He had not noticed a woman with purple-black hair had already appeared behind them. She had the figure of a devil, a fair-complexion and a pair of eyes rippling with purple light that tugged at one’s soul.

Tang Wulin turned around once again and found that everyone’s attention was attracted by the enormous figure standing right in the center.

It was a middle-aged man with a burly figure. He was about two meters in height with a head full of long black hair parted in the middle. Draped across his back, there was a golden lock growing from the middle of his scalp.

His eyes were also golden. With every step he took, the darkness element in the air seemed to be turning thicker. The area felt completely isolated. Tang Wulin could no longer sense that they were in the Great Star Dou Forest anymore.

“They’re Great Beasts!” said Tang Wulin in a deep voice.

There were only two possibilities for soul beasts to take a human form. The first possibility was to cultivate back into a human upon gaining a cultivation base of one hundred thousand years. Another possibility was for a Great Beast to achieve a one-hundred-thousand-year cultivation base and learn the ability to transform into a human.

The four people before him where emitting a very powerful aura, and they were even living in the core region of the Great Star Dou Forest. What else could they be if not Great Beasts?

Tang Wulin was aware that powerful soul beasts existed in the core area of the Great Star Dou Forest, but he had not expected that they would be encountering such creatures so soon after arriving. Moreover, they had encountered four at once. ‘I thought each of the powerful soul beasts had its own territory? Why are there so many of them appearing at the same time?’

If there had been just one Beast, Tang Wulin would have had no fear, for he believed that both he and his companions had the ability to handle a single foe. It was a completely different scenario when there were four Great Beasts. Most worrying was the person walking before him. Tang Wulin could not see the aura on his body at all. This man’s aura had even surpassed the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa’s.

Was he a pseudogod-ranked beast? Tang Wulin tasted bitterness on his tongue. It seems like he was having some bad luck!

“Great Beast, huh? So that’s how human beings like you address us,” said the man walking in front of Tang Wulin indifferently. There was a deep sense of dread in his eyes as he looked at Tang Wulin.

Tang Wulin seemed as weak as an ant easily crushed when this mad had last encountered him. On the other hand, when the Bear Lord attempted to finish him off, he was actually capable of fighting alongside his companions and defeating the Bear Lord.

At this little reunion, he seemed to have been completely reborn. He was in possession of that terrifying armor of mankind and his abilities had even grown to a level worthy of the Bear Lord’s attention. His spiritual cultivation base had also ascended to mankind’s so-called Spirit Domain realm.

In the Bear Lord’s mind, he had only seen such accelerated growth in a few men. Indeed, that group included one of the few people that had defeated him.

The Bear Lord found himself quite surprised. ‘Has the Golden Dragon King’s aura coming from his body condensed to this extent already?’ He could even sense the Golden Dragon King’s ferocious and tyrannical energy. Even though Tang Wulin appeared to be ordinary, his pure Dragon Clan bloodline made the Beast God shudder in fear from the depths of his soul.

Perhaps it was heaven’s blessing that sent Tang Wulin to the Beast God. He had decided that he would kill Tang Wulin today regardless. He refused to give Her Highness the opportunity to hesitate. The black screen that blotted out the sky and covered up the earth was sufficient to shield off everything of the outside world. Due to her highness’ ability that had yet to recover completely, she could not possibly feel everything that happened over here under such circumstances.

Tang Wulin looked at the middle-aged man with eyes were shimmering with golden light standing before him. He spoke in a deep voice, “We didn’t mean to offend you and we’re not here to hunt for soul beasts either. We’re only looking for something and we don’t harbor any ill intentions.”

The middle-aged man spoke indifferently, “You don’t harbor any ill intentions? But I do.”

Tang Wulin’s eyes flashed. “Judging by your words earlier, it seems as though you know of me?”

Cooly, the middle-aged man replied, “Of course. The Dragon God’s bloodline is flowing in you, so how can I possibly not recognize you? The truth is, I have been planning to kill you for the past one or two days, so you really shouldn’t get your hopes up. This is the day you’re going to die. Maybe you should take your own life. That way, I’ll consider letting your companions leave safely.”

Tang Wulin smiled. “Do you think I’d trust the words of an enemy? You’ve yet to introduce yourself. How may I address you?”

The middle-aged man smiled in return. “My word is my bond. My name is Di Tian!”

Di Tian? Tang Wulin had a sense of familiarity in his mind upon hearing the name. It felt as if he had heard or seen the name someplace before. Then he remembered where they were, and all of a sudden, the memories flooded back. The name escaped his mouth, “You’re the Beast God Di Tian?”

Those few simple words were like a thunderclap that shocked Tang Wulin and his companions deeply. It was because the name was so well-known, it was like they had been struck by lightning.

What sort of creature was the Beast God Di Tian? It was something out of legend.
