Xu Sanshi's mouth hung open as he exclaimed in shock, "My dear mother, is this the Aquipeia Forest's strongest creature, Di Tian? So massive."
As he spoke, his legs uncontrollably trembled.
If the previous ferocious beasts had only brought a sense of suffocation, then Di Tian brought on pure despair.
Despair that was utterly impossible to contend with!
Bei Bei puzzled, "What on earth does Di Tian intend to do? Does he really plan to break through the South City Wall all by himself?"
Ma Xiaotao's face was tinged with worry, "It's possible. Even if all the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion worked together, they probably wouldn't be able to contend with Di Tian!"
Deeply inhaling, Huo Yuhao murmured to himself, "Now that Elder Xuan isn't here, and Qian Yu's strength has been diminished due to his arm, even if everyone joined forces, it's just impossible to be Di Tian's opponent!"
He had personally witnessed Qian Yu's soul power rank before it had declined, comparable in strength to the Soul Beast God Di Tian!
The faces of the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion all flashed with heavy wariness...
Elder Song gritted his teeth and declared, "Get ready to make a move!"
Behind them, their Martial Spirit Shadows were once again released, quickly raising nine soul rings under their feet...
If Di Tian truly was determined to take action himself, then the final outcome would only be battle!
But they feared they wouldn't be a match for the other party, a horrifying soul beast with eighty-thousand-year cultivation level, possessing strength comparable to a level-99 Ultimate Douluo, and even surpassing in terms of offensive power!
However, when Di Tian got halfway to the South City Wall, he stopped, his golden pupils intently staring ahead, continuously exerting pressure...
Yan Shaozhe looked up at Di Tian and, steeling himself, bellowed, "Di Tian, as the strongest of the Aquipeia Forest, how could you instigate a Beast Tide at the expense of your own kin? What exactly is your purpose?"
Di Tian's gaze sharpened, and his terrifying pressure slammed into Yan Shaozhe's body with a "bang," sending him flying several meters away...
Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Yan Shaozhe murmured, "So powerful."
Even Elder Mu, who had reached level 99 Ultimate Douluo, was probably no match for Di Tian!
Di Tian's cold voice finally rang out, "Humans, this is a war you caused! Although it has nothing to do with your Shrek Academy!"
Xian Lin'er narrowed her eyes, "Di Tian, you, as the king of the Aquipeia Forest, are also using such demeaning words to start a war with us Soul Masters?"
With Di Tian's prideful nature, he would never stoop to such despicable tactics to slander, first try to lure him into a trap with your words!
Di Tian let out a cold "hmpf," "You human Soul Masters, not long ago, when I was not around, dared to lay your hands on the Three-eyed Golden Lion that contained the fate of my Aquipeia Forest!"
As soon as these words came out, the pupils of all the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion shrank sharply, exclaiming, "What! They laid their hands on the Three-eyed Golden Lion!"
Seeing the shocked looks of the Sea God Pavilion Elders, Tang Wutong's pink-purple eyes were filled with curiosity, "The Three-eyed Golden Lion, what is that? A soul beast?"
Qian Yu replied indifferently, "Yes, it is indeed a soul beast."
This so-called Three-eyed Golden Lion, he had learned of it from the Sea God Pavilion...
Xu Sanshi muttered on the side, "It's just a soul beast, and Di Tian is instigating a Beast Tide over it, is he mistaken?"
Every day, hundreds to dozens of soul beasts from the Aquipeia Forest were slaughtered, yet Di Tian had never instigated a Beast Tide!
Is the king of the Aquipeia Forest sentimental like this?
Bei Bei gave Xu Sanshi a speechless stare, "The soul beast that could incite Di Tian to launch a Beast Tide is no ordinary soul beast. San Shi, think before you speak."
Tang Ya propped her chin in thought, "It seems to me, might this Three-eyed Golden Lion be Di Tian's wife or child or something?"
Ma Xiaotao raised an eyebrow and said, "Tang Ya, I've also heard of the Three-eyed Golden Lion. However, it has nothing to do with a spouse or child."
Huo Yuhao's light blue eyes showed a deep sense of confusion as he asked the Skydream Ice Silkworm and the Ice Emperor inside his mind, "Brother Tianmeng, Ice Emperor, do you know about this Three-eyed Golden Lion?"
The Skydream Ice Silkworm smacked its lips, "Three-eyed Golden Lion? Could it be that soul beast?"
The Ice Emperor confirmed, "No need to think further, it definitely is. Otherwise, Di Tian wouldn't have launched the Beast Tide. However, the fact that human Soul Masters dare to lay hands on this soul beast shows they have guts that are far too big!"
Before the Ice Emperor could explain further, Qian Yu calmly said from the outside world, "The Three-eyed Golden Lion is only a soul beast of ten thousand years of cultivation, but this soul beast is different from others; its third eye carries the destiny of the Aquipeia Forest!"
"Once this destiny is gone, the soul beasts of the Aquipeia Forest will be completely extinct within decades or a century!"
Upon hearing this, everyone had an epiphany...
No wonder the king Di Tian initiated the Beast Tide!
Without the Three-eyed Golden Lion, the entire Aquipeia Forest would be gone!
Xian Lin'er tried to soothe him as best she could, "Di Tian, if I'm not mistaken, the destiny of the Three-eyed Golden Lion should transfer to the Soul Master who killed it, so why be so angry?"
Di Tian's tone became colder, "Even so, are you suggesting that because destiny can be transferred, I should pardon your human race for the crime of killing the Three-eyed Golden Lion??"
Xian Lin'er's face turned pale as she asked, "Then what do you want?"
If it wasn't for the worry that Di Tian might attack them regardless of the consequences, and that no one was able to contend with him, why else would the elders of the Sea God's Pavilion retreat like this?
Di Tian's golden eyes looked at them, and he said coldly, "If any one of you here can withstand one attack from me, we will put this matter to rest!"
But just as his words fell, an aged figure slowly emerged from above, speaking calmly, "What a bold claim, Beast God Di Tian, do you really think our human Soul Masters are so easily bullied?"
The person who arrived was none other than Xuan Zi!!
Compared to a few days ago, his aura was several times stronger!
Clearly, he had broken through the threshold of level 98 and reached level 99, the Ultimate Douluo!
He was infinitely close to the power of a Demigod!
Below, Elder Song joyfully said, "Has Elder Xuan... broken through??"
Fan Yu was also excited, "That's great! If Elder Xuan has broken through, even the Beast God Di Tian would not dare to be too presumptuous."
Yan Shaozhe said excitedly, "With Elder Xuan here, Di Tian should not dare to act rashly..."
Di Tian looked at the figure before him with wary golden pupils and thought to himself, "Another Ultimate Douluo; this means that Mu En has indeed died!"
Xuan Zi stood in mid-air, hands clasped behind his back, face calm as he said, "Di Tian, it's time to stop. You should be well aware that if Soul Masters and soul beasts go to war, it is you soul beasts that could be annihilated."
"Besides, you have already found the soul beast that has acquired the destiny of the Aquipeia Forest."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian couldn't help but fall silent...
After a while, with a frosty gaze, he deeply looked at Xuan Zi, "Humans, this is my final warning. If there is a next time, be prepared to bear my wrath!"
Having said this, Di Tian spread his dark wings and soared into the sky, heading towards the Aquipeia Forest...
The dark clouds overhead and the shadowy colors around began to dissipate, returning to the usual tranquility...
At this moment, the Beast Tide was truly over!
And Xuan Zi, still hovering in mid-air, suddenly turned pale...
He thought to himself, "Forcing the breakthrough indeed had repercussions; I almost let Di Tian discover it..."
