Chapter 418: Silver Dragon Versus Black Energy
In the Star Dou Great Forest, the descent of the universe's first darkness caused the fierce beasts at the bottom of the Lake of Life to stand on high alert.
The other fierce beasts did not know what this first darkness signified, but as the Beast God and a former guard of the Dragon God, Di Tian was extremely clear about it.
In a distant, ancient era, his ancestors had followed the Dragon God to battle the first living being born between heaven and earth.
Although their side had won the final battle and imprisoned the black energy within the God Realm's Core, it was undeniable that the opponent's combat strength was far too great. It was a power that could return all life and matter to darkness.
At this moment, in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Facing the combined forces of the Dark Devilgod Tiger and the three ants, Tang San struggled immensely. After a short while, he was struck down to the ground by the four spirit beasts, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Although Tang San's spirit power had reached the ninety-fifth rank, his spirit rings were utterly pathetic. He had obtained the ninth spirit ring for neither his Clear Sky Hammer nor his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul. How could he possibly withstand their combined attack?
Helpless, he could only seek the aid of the darkness, hoping to borrow its power to help him slay these beasts. In response, the black energy said nothing and readily lent its power to Tang San once again.
It was now bound to Tang San. Only when Tang San's cultivation improved and reached its peak could it also quickly recover to its own peak state. Only then could it face the gods without concern, even easily defeating and devouring its opponents.
"Come at me again!" With this newfound power, Tang San laughed maniacally, his ordinary face filled with a crazed expression. "I'd like to see how you run now! Obediently become my spirit rings!"
After speaking, Tang San's eyes narrowed and he attacked. With just a wave of his right hand, one of the distant ants was sent flying by the dense black energy, crashing heavily into the lake below.
Witnessing this, the remaining two ants and the Dark Devilgod Tiger stared with wide eyes, finding it utterly unbelievable.
Damn, how did this kid suddenly possess such immense power?
The intelligence of a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast is no different from that of an adult human. Certain ten-thousand-year spirit beasts with special bloodlines, like the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, an Imperial Auspicious Beast, can also reach this level.
As the current overlords of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Dark Devilgod Tiger and the three ants understood that the human before them was no longer the same. The slightest carelessness would result in them being hunted and killed.
"Di Tian, should we intervene?" At the bottom of the Lake of Life, Bi Ji watched the battle. Her brows furrowed, her beautiful, gentle face filled with worry. "If we don't, those four spirit beasts will die."
"No." Di Tian shook his head, his expression grave. "Their deaths do not matter. The most important thing is that we cannot let that thing discover us, or the existence of the Master. Otherwise, everything is over."
"Di Tian, is that thing really so powerful?" Xiong Jun asked from the side, his face full of disbelief. He found it hard to accept that a being existed on the Douluo Continent that could make even Di Tian and the Master feel apprehensive.
"Of course. At its peak, let alone us, even the current God Realm is not qualified to contend with it." Di Tian spoke while keeping his gaze fixed ahead, terrified that the entity would charge in directly.
Hearing this, the others exchanged glances, seeing shock and helplessness in each other's eyes. It seemed they could only pray that the entity would not discover their location. Otherwise, everything would truly be finished.
Outside, with the enhancement from the black energy's power, Tang San made quick work of the four spirit beasts, killing them all.
Just as Tang San was preparing to absorb the spirit rings from these spirit beasts, the black energy spoke, "Do not be hasty. This one seems to have discovered something."
"What do you mean?" Tang San paused his actions, stood up, and showed a puzzled expression.
The black energy did not answer Tang San's question, instead directly taking control of his body.
Now possessing a body, the black energy's cultivation shook the heavens and the earth. The sky above the entire Star Dou Great Forest was obscured by an incomparably dense black airflow.
"Di Tian, it has discovered us!" Seeing this, the expressions of Bi Ji and the others changed drastically as understanding dawned.
"Prepare—" However, before Di Tian could finish speaking, an equally immense aura erupted from the bottom of the Lake of Life.
The Silver Dragon King, the second Co-ruler of the Spirit Beasts, had made her move!
In that instant, the sky that had been shrouded by black energy was dispersed. In its place was a pure and sacred silver light.
"What is this?" Seeing the situation change again, Tang San revealed a look of confusion, feeling very perplexed.
Since when did the Star Dou Great Forest have such an expert? Weren't the strongest spirit beasts just the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Sky Bull Python? How could this new aura be so much stronger than those two beasts?
"The aura of the Dragon Clan!" The black energy sneered, its tone filled with disdain. "Even the Dragon God, the ancestor of the Dragon Clan, could do nothing to this one back then. You think you can, as a mere incarnation of the Dragon God?"
"Whether I can or not will be known only after we fight!"
As the words fell, the space before them was torn open, and an exquisitely beautiful woman in a long white dress stepped out.
Her body emitted the purest silver light, and the divine power it carried caused the entire Douluo Continent to tremble violently.
As an incarnation of the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King's spiritual and divine powers were inherently formidable. Most importantly, unlike newly ascended gods who needed to cultivate anew, she was already at her peak. However, due to internal injuries, she could not use her full power for extended periods.
"So, what is your identity now?" Staring at the white-haired woman before it, the black energy's eyes narrowed as cold words escaped its mouth.
"The second Co-ruler of the Spirit Beasts after the Dragon God, the Silver Dragon King!" Gu Yue Na's expression was calm. Her surging power soared into the sky, establishing the entire Star Dou Great Forest as their battlefield.
"Good. In that case, this one will start with you to avenge the Dragon God for that past imprisonment!"
After speaking, the black energy's figure flashed and charged forward directly.
