Bibi Dong never expected...
The soul beast forest that Yu Tianchen mentioned was teeming with sub-dragon species, and in its deepest reaches, all the soul beasts were true dragons.Judging by the aura of each dragon, they were all around 100,000 years old.
As for the largest one, Bibi Dong only glanced at it, and the aura of extreme brutality and destruction instantly pressed down on her, causing her bones to crackle under the pressure.
The pressure was so overwhelming that Bibi Dong broke out in a cold sweat.She understood a fundamental truth: in the presence of absolute treasures of heaven and earth, there must be guardian beasts.
The ancient golden tree was of such quality that it transformed the entire forest into an ideal cultivation ground.
Its aura alone convinced Bibi Dong that devouring it could allow her to ascend to godhood and break through level 100 instantly.However, her greed vanished the moment the guardian beast appeared."Roar—"The largest Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, which Bibi Dong deemed a Dragon King, unleashed a deafening roar.The dragon's roar carried an ancient and pure essence, as if an ancient dragon had reawakened, proclaiming its return to the world.
Its voice resembled a thunder dragon bursting through layers of storm clouds, revealing its majestic presence.Terrifying shockwaves erupted, shaking the entire soul beast forest.
Nearly every soul beast within cowered on the ground, trembling, too afraid to move. The dragon's overwhelming might felt like the end of the world.The clearly visible soul power and spiritual energy of heaven and earth shattered inch by inch as the dragon's roar spread. A destructive soundwave surged like a tidal wave at an unstoppable pace.Even for Bibi Dong, this was the first time she had witnessed such a terrifying dragon roar.Her eardrums bled, and she grimaced in pain, quickly using her soul power to protect them before lowering her posture."Sir, please calm down.
I'm merely passing through. I mean no harm!"She knew that a 100,000-year-old soul beast possessed intelligence comparable to a human's, and this Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Dragon King could understand her words.
At this moment, Bibi Dong had no desire to fight a true dragon equivalent to level 99, which was why she immediately adopted a submissive stance.As expected, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex spoke in human language, raising its massive dragon head and locking its eyes on Bibi Dong."
Human, you trespass in my territory, yet claim you bear no hostility?""Sir, how can I convince you I mean no harm?" Bibi Dong was helpless. While the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex held back from attacking, she quickly added, "Rest assured, I'll leave immediately.""Ha ha ha—"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex laughed as if it had heard a grand joke.
The once-clear sky filled with lightning and thunder, and its destructive aura enveloped Bibi Dong's body and mind.If she took a single step back, a battle would be inevitable."Don't push me!" Bibi Dong's expression twisted with fury.
She wasn't someone to be trifled with—if she couldn't win, she'd rather die fighting."I never trust human words. Your kind is widely known as the most cunning creatures. Do you think I'd believe anything you say?"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex crackled with lightning potent enough to annihilate anything, its gaze cold and unyielding.
Since you can waltz into my territory today and leave unscathed, what's to stop me from transforming into a human, entering your city, slaughtering every human there, and then claiming I meant no harm? What do you think, human?""I'd like to see if there's anyone stronger than me in your human world. Can you stop me?"The dragon's words, spoken with the ferocity of a peerless beast, caused Bibi Dong's heart to skip a beat.She had no doubt the dragon could do it.
It absolutely could!"What do you want, then?"Bibi Dong gritted her teeth. Here, she had no confidence in defeating the dragon, especially with hundreds of 100,000-year-old true dragons surrounding it."Hmph, you arrogantly trespassed into my territory. Did you think there'd be no consequences?"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus sneered."No creature in my domain would dare do this, and you, human, are no exception. Given your high cultivation, leave some of your human treasures. Otherwise, leave your life here to appease my wrath.
""You..."
Bibi Dong seethed, pointing at the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but she soon regained her composure."Fine, I'll comply."Bibi Dong's teeth nearly cracked from clenching so hard.
There was no other way. The time to purge the upper three sects was approaching, and if she got injured now, what would become of the Soul Hunting Plan?
She could only chalk it up to bad luck—encountering this at such a critical time.It was enough to make Bibi Dong's blood boil.She couldn't fight it, nor could she reason with it. What else could she do?Her chest heaved as she took a deep breath, suppressing her urge to lash out.
From her storage soul guide, she produced a rare treasure."Is this enough?" Bibi Dong asked coldly."This is one of the finest treasures in the Spirit Hall's inventory. Though not as potent as immortal grass, it has remarkable healing properties for both humans and soul beasts. It can even slightly enhance cultivation, practically granting a second life.
Not enough," the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus scoffed, cutting off Bibi Dong's retort. "Human, do you think this paltry offering lets you treat my territory like a guest house? Bring out two more treasures.""You're pushing it!"Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot, her fists clenched so tightly they bled.She had heard dragons were greedy since ancient times, but now she saw it firsthand!As a Titled Douluo and the Pope, when had she ever suffered such humiliation?
If she could win... but she couldn't...While negotiating, Bibi Dong subtly probed the dragon's cultivation level.To her shock, she realized it had the power to wipe the Spirit Hall off the Douluo Continent and could lead its True Dragon Army to eradicate humanity.
So, she yielded.Yes, she was ruthless, but not foolish enough to smash her head against a wall—or argue with a beast.Faced with the choice between vengeance against this beast and destroying the Spirit Hall, she chose the latter.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus silently raised its massive claw."It seems you want to leave here empty-handed.""Stop!"Seeing it prepare to strike, Bibi Dong hurriedly produced two more treasures, each as valuable as the first.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus glanced at them, dispelled the apocalyptic aura, and lazily retracted its claw, greed gleaming in its eyes as it claimed the treasures."You may leave."Bibi Dong took deep breaths, barely containing her rage. With a cold snort, she turned and left, leaving one final remark.
Sir, we'll meet again!"Once she unified the Douluo Continent, she vowed not to destroy the Spirit Hall first. Instead, she'd rally all of humanity's power to slaughter every soul beast here as soon as possible!Bibi Dong departed with a crazed glint in her eyes, carefully concealing it to avoid the Dragon King's notice.
