Chapter 58 Soul Beast Ranking Fifth: Emperor Heaven.
Demon Forest.
The black mist here grew increasingly violent due to the surge of extreme spiritual power. A black vortex expanded continuously beneath the Demon Emperor's giant eyeball, its six-hundred-meter-long tentacles occasionally slapping the void, leaving behind twisted spatial cracks.
When the words "million years" entered his purplish-black pupils, the Demon Emperor's laughter abruptly ceased, and an unprecedented greed and heat surged within the deep vortex.
"Million years... spiritual type..."
A hoarse voice trembled slightly, its tone echoing through the black mist.
"No offensive means? Ha, that's because they haven't awakened! I know best, the purity of a million years of spiritual power is enough to crush all mortals!"
He could clearly sense the faint yet pure spiritual fluctuations emanating from the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, like a firefly dancing in the darkness, dim yet containing a primal power that made his heart tremble. His 935,000 years of cultivation allowed him to perceive energy far beyond his peers.
The spiritual essence accumulated over a million years within the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was nothing less than a peerless elixir for him to break through to the next million years.
"The Light of Time and Space is powerful, but if I could fuse with a million-year-old spiritual source..."
The Evil Emperor's pupils suddenly contracted, and a dark purple current surged wildly at the tips of his tentacles.
"At that time, even Emperor Tian's Dragon God Claw wouldn't be able to withstand my spiritual storm!"
He abruptly turned his eyes, his gaze piercing through tens of thousands of meters of spatial barriers, directly targeting the bottom of the Life Lake in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The ice layers and lake water there were nowhere to hide under his spiritual probing; the curled-up snow-white ice silkworm had now become the most tempting offering in his eyes.
"Those fools in Star Dou actually imprisoned such a treasure at the bottom of the lake, and even dared to use it as nourishment?"
The Evil Emperor let out a low, sneer. All eighty-one tentacles tensed simultaneously, their black scales reflecting eerie green phosphorescent light.
"Get out of my way, all of you!"
His furious roar shook the skeletal mountain of the Demon Forest. The spatial and temporal power surrounding the Evil Emperor suddenly surged, and the purplish-black light curtain instantly expanded to a radius of twenty miles.
The distortion of space intensified, even stretching the distant phosphorescent light into thin ribbons, as if the entire forest was about to be swept into the spatial and temporal turbulence.
"Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm..."
The Evil Emperor's voice carried an undeniable domineering arrogance.
"Your million years of spiritual power rightfully belong to me! After I take your origin, and then flatten the Starry Sky and the Far North, this continent will be ruled solely by me!"
He slowly raised his thickest tentacle, its tip condensing eerie purple spiritual energy, intertwining with the spatial and temporal power to form a spear that gleamed with a cold light.
The surrounding black mist surged wildly into the spear, causing it to grow exponentially until it transformed into a gigantic spear hundreds of meters long, pointing directly towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
"Di Tian, keep a close watch on my prey," the Evil Emperor's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
"Three days later, I will personally descend upon Star Dou to seize the Ice Silkworm and slay the Dragon Beast!"
The spear pierced the void, leaving a spatial rift that would never heal, and sped towards the Star Dou Great Forest with terrifying evil power.
This was a demonstration, a test, and a declaration of his impending attack.
Within the black mist, countless evil soul beasts sensed the Evil Emperor's resolve and roared fervently, the entire Demon Forest gathering strength for the impending battle.
The Evil Emperor's gigantic eyeball remained suspended atop the palace, its purplish-black pupils fixed on the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest, filled not only with greed but also with an extreme thirst for the power of a million-year-old beast.
He knew very well that this battle was not just about a million-year-old soul beast, but about who would become the true ruler of the continent's soul beasts.
And he, the Evil Eye Tyrant Ruler, would never miss this opportunity to ascend to the heavens.
Just then, the fifth-ranked Soul Beast was announced.
[Fifth on the Soul Beast Ranking: Di Tian]
[Cultivation Age: 880,000 years]
[Affiliation: Star Dou Great Forest]
[Evaluation: True form is the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, pure bloodline, grandfather was a Dragon God's personal guard, inherited the Dragon Clan's divine skill, Dragon God Claw, capable of reaching god-level combat power at full power.]
[Reward: 170,000 years, bloodline evolves into the tenth son of the Dragon God, the Black Dragon King.]
When the golden light of the fifth-ranked Soul Beast tore through the sky, the name "Di Tian" and that series of revolutionary information appeared.
The entire Douluo Continent seemed to be muted, then erupted in a tremor even more violent than when the Evil Emperor and Tianmeng Ice Silkworm appeared on the list.
Star Dou Great Forest, by the Lake of Life.
Di Tian's golden eyes stared intently at the words on the light screen, his dragon body trembling uncontrollably.
880,000 years of cultivation plus a 170,000-year reward—that's a million years! What stirred his heart even more was the "bloodline evolution into the tenth son of the Dragon God, the Black Dragon King."
This was no longer a simple surge in cultivation, but a leap in bloodline level, a qualitative change from "descendant of the Dragon God's personal guard" to "son of the Dragon God"!
"My lord..."
Di Tian suddenly turned to look at Gu Yuena, his voice filled with unprecedented excitement and awe, his golden eyes surging with dragon might and ecstasy.
"Your subordinate..."
Gu Yuena gazed at the light screen, a hint of understanding and relief flashing in her cool eyes.
"Heaven's favor, and also due to your own inherent strength. Million-year Black Dragon King, from now on, Xingdou has the true confidence to awe the continent."
Before her words had finished, a vast and magnificent golden light descended from the sky, like the descent of a dragon god, instantly enveloping Di Tian.
The golden energy contained the pure dragon race's origin and the power of time, surging wildly into his body.
Di Tian felt his dragon scales crackle crisply, his body slowly growing taller in the golden light. His originally jet-black dragon body developed deep, dark gold patterns, and his golden eyes shone even brighter, as if they could pierce through time and space.
880,000 years, 900,000 years, 950,000 years… his cultivation soared like a surging river, reaching the million-year mark!
Even more astonishing was his bloodline. His original Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King bloodline, tempered by the power of origin, transformed like a butterfly emerging from its cocoon. A dragon's might far surpassing anything before erupted from him, sweeping across the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
Bi Ji, Xiong Jun, the Ten Thousand Demon King, and other ferocious beasts prostrated themselves on the ground, feeling the oppressive force emanating from the depths of their bloodlines, their eyes filled with shock and submission.
This was no longer Di Tian's usual majesty, but the supreme dragon might of the son of the Dragon God, enough to make all beasts bow down.
As the golden light faded, Di Tian hovered in mid-air. The million-year-old Black Dragon King's body blotted out the sky, its dark golden scales shimmering with a metallic sheen in the sunlight. His golden eyes held the oppressive aura of god-level combat power.
He slowly spread his dragon wings, each flap causing the heavens and earth to change color. The waters of the Lake of Life parted automatically under his dragon might, revealing a hidden cave at its bottom.
"Evil Emperor..."
Di Tian spoke, his voice no longer low and deep, but carrying the majesty of the son of the Dragon God, like a thunderclap.
"The appointment in three days... I, the Emperor, will await you."
