This is bullying both man and dragon too far!
Di Tian was incomparably furious at this moment.
In his eyes, Su Wen was deliberately provoking him.
He had even said something along the lines of "once you make the first move, I'll have a justification."
Was this not a complete lack of respect for Di Tian?
The true king of soul beasts had not appeared on the continent for so long, and it seemed the Soul Master world had truly forgotten what the Beast God, Di Tian, was capable of!
With a shake of his body, Di Tian transformed into a massive black dragon.
It was not just Su Wen's recent provocation that angered him.
Having lived for such a vast number of years, Di Tian's disposition was not something an ordinary soul beast could compare to; he had witnessed many grand scenes.
The reason he was so enraged, aside from Su Wen's provocation, was because Su Wen himself had promoted the rapid development of the Soul Master world, leading to the deterioration of the soul beasts' current situation.
It could be said that he genuinely and wholeheartedly stood on the side of the soul beasts. Witnessing the decline of his race made him immensely furious.
Particularly for Di Tian, he had watched the soul beast clan decline with his own eyes.
In the past, although Gods would always emerge in the Soul Master world, there would always be a massive time gap between them--a God would only be born once every ten or twenty thousand years.
And even when a God did emerge, the Soul Master world would at most experience a shift in power dynamics; the overall strength of the Soul Master world did not increase by much. After the God departed, and while the left-behind blessings remained static, the soul beast clan would launch a beast tide. They would choose the moment when the enthusiastic cultivation atmosphere driven by the God's appearance reached its peak, cutting off the human Soul Master civilization.
Time after time, it had always been like this.
However, things had recently begun to change.
During the era of the Sea God, far too many Gods had attained godhood.
When launching beast tides, the soul beasts still had to avoid the inheritances left behind by the Gods, such as Sea God Island, which was inherently beyond the reach of the beast tides, as well as the Angel Clan left behind by the Angel God. But the soul beasts had merely allowed their bloodlines to continue circulating; the civilization that was meant to be cut off was still cut off.
Yet, this time was different.
Su Wen's appearance had caused the development of the Soul Master world to exceed the limits of what the soul beast clan could bear.
They had originally thought the appearance of the Ice Sky Worm would be a feast for the powerhouses of the soul beast clan. After completely devouring it, the Great Beasts of the soul beast clan would become even more powerful and prosperous.
However, before the devouring could be completed, Di Tian was forced to awaken and end his secluded cultivation.
All of this was caused by the fellow before his eyes named Su Wen, whom the Soul Master world referred to as Grandmaster Wen.
While Di Tian was furious, he also maintained his clarity.
But there was still rage after all; his so-called clarity only meant he did not engage in mindless destruction.
The sky turned gloomy, and the air above the originally scenic and beautiful Lake of Life instantly became incomparably oppressive.
A massive phantom of a black dragon gradually overlaid Di Tian's original form.
Clearly a soul beast, he nonetheless gave off a human-like refinement.
Behind him, there seemed to be a profound black sun, swallowing everything like a black hole.
His entire body was as black as ink, each dragon scale reflecting a luster of a peculiar texture--seemingly holding a silvery light, yet also resembling pure black.
His golden eyes stared intently at Su Wen.
Opening his maw, the black dragon breathed out a blast of dragon breath, descending like black flames.
The dragon breath was like black fire, seemingly capable of swallowing and destroying everything.
"Don't you know? Amaterasu can't burn anyone to death!"
Su Wen had already unfolded the World of the Book, merging it into the surrounding space.
He curled his lip, and the Seal of Life and Death beneath his feet shifted. Directly utilizing spatial power to displace himself, he arrived behind Di Tian.
He had no intention of clashing head-on.
Although he could win the fight, why should he insist on getting blasted by dragon breath?
Di Tian turned his head, terrifying fluctuations of power gathering on his right claw.
Black Dragon Dreadclaw!
As the claw descended, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, letting out an overburdened cracking sound.
However, this did not pose much of a threat to Su Wen.
He continued to evade while simultaneously sensing the spatial fluctuations to gauge the movement of the soul power within Di Tian's right claw, while also using the space to perceive the changes in Di Tian's overall soul power.
Boom!
As the claw fell, it left a deep trench in the ground. Yet, it failed to harm Su Wen. Su Wen's body gradually blurred, as if he were in another space entirely, untouched by the terrifying, blade-like energy projected from the Black Dragon Claw.
"How is that possible?"
Watching this scene, Bear King's pupils contracted.
He could actually unleash a similar move, and the piercing power of his Dark Golden Dreadclaw was arguably a notch higher.
But without a doubt, Di Tian's Black Dragon Dreadclaw was not inferior either, and it was capable of tearing through space. Yet, Su Wen was actually able to evade this move by dodging into the void.
To put it this way, this move existed precisely to counter methods like Su Wen's.
However, Su Wen still evaded Di Tian's Black Dragon Dreadclaw using this form of phasing.
"Your comprehension of space has actually reached such a terrifying level." Di Tian looked at Su Wen, his black dragon form gradually receding as his expression grew solemn.
"No wonder you were able to open up a place like the Academy World."
It seemed both real and illusory.
Existing within nothingness, yet everything felt like a truly existent space.
Such terrifying spatial attainment.
"You have a space-attribute soul ring, and the aura of this soul ring... is it the Void Silver-Moon Tapir? I must admit, for you to develop its soul skill to this level makes your talent the most monstrous among all the Soul Masters I have ever seen. Even those Gods before they attained godhood were inferior to you."
"Or rather, are your spatial methods based on this domain of yours?" Looking around, Di Tian began to grow curious about Su Wen's peculiar domain.
Just moments ago, he hadn't felt any substantial enhancement or pressure from the domain.
Now it seemed the purpose of this domain was to assist him in mastering space.
Although Di Tian had reverted to his human form, his aura became even more terrifying.
A pitch-black sword manifested out of thin air in his right hand.
Gripping the Black Dragon Sword in his hand, he slashed directly downward.
Boom!
Black flames, resembling dragon breath, coiled around the Black Dragon Sword, forming dragon shapes that entwined with the sword light. Dragon might also erupted along with these dragon-shaped flames, acting as a deterrent against Su Wen.
"As expected of Di Tian." Su Wen grew interested. He discovered that the moves Di Tian displayed should not be pure soul skills inherited from his bloodline.
To be able to sit in the position of the Beast God, Di Tian's own talent and intelligence were exceptionally high.
From start to finish, the soul skills he displayed all seemed to be self-created.
Even the dragon breath, which seemed like something he should master by instinct, was mixed with the profound mysteries of world destruction. It perfectly suited Di Tian as if custom-made for him, which was clearly a self-created technique.
Above Su Wen's head, the Heavenly Book manifested, and the Seal of Life and Death beneath his feet also merged into his palm.
"Suppress!"
Striking out with a palm, an imprint manifested, colliding with the sword qi erupted from the Black Dragon Sword.
Space trembled, and the Heavenly Book World suppressed it, stabilizing the space.
"Such stable space!"
Di Tian had to admit that this was the first time he had felt space be so solid.
Even with his Black Dragon Sword paired with the World-Destroying Dragon Flames, utilizing the profound mysteries of the Myriad Dragon Flames, he had failed to shatter the space.
"Your strength matches your words. However, you might not know the true worth of I, the Beast God Di Tian."
