As Di Tian's voice faded, the entire Aquipeia Forest fell into an instant silence.
Even the faintest buzz of mosquitoes paused, as if they feared the appearance of a certain being that was about to emerge.
Di Tian looked up at this moment, and a mass of emerald light appeared on the edge of Star Lake right in front of him.
Jade-colored wings unfurled within it, and a graceful figure extended two long legs from the sphere of light, landing on the ground.
Di Tian lifted his gaze slightly, "Bi Ji?"
"Boss!"
Bi Ji responded with a smile.
Following that, there came heavy footsteps from another direction, each step shaking the ground as if causing a quake.
Di Tian turned his head and glanced at the man with a stature like a mountain.
Behind this man, a fleeting shadow of dark gold oppression flashed away.
"Bear Lord."
Di Tian greeted.
"Boss."
Bear Lord replied expressionlessly, walking towards Di Tian alongside Bi Ji.
At the same time, the sound of a dragon's chant rose.
On the edge of Star Lake, a purple-black vortex appeared, and a woman clad in purple-black armor stepped out from it.
Her figure was voluptuous, a complete contrast to Bi Ji's transformed style.
"Zi Ji."
"Boss."
The next moment, several more figures appeared, they were the remaining ferocious beasts of the Aquipeia Forest.
Including the Demon Eye Witch Tree Myriad Demon King and the three-headed Red Demon Mastiff Chi King.
These ferocious beasts gathered in front of Di Tian, and all but Bear Lord bowed respectfully to him.
"Where is our master?"
Di Tian asked, puzzled.
He was clearly speaking to their master, so why had the other beasts appeared?
"Our master will be fully awakening soon, but the Seven-colored Heavenly Tribulation will also follow, and we must guard here,"
Bi Ji said.
"Can I see our master now?"
Di Tian asked urgently.
It didn't matter if the heavenly tribulation was coming - he had a way! The Heavenly Tribulation Card Lin Yi gave him was top-quality, only those who've tried it would know!
But Bi Ji shook her head with a troubled expression, "Boss, it seems that our master is quite displeased with you, so it's better you don't show yourself for the time being..."
Di Tian: "..."
Indeed, he was displeased; there were three scratch scars on his face.
It seemed that even women in a rush would scratch, and the master was no exception to this feminine trait.
"But I can help her cross the tribulation, Bi Ji, please go and talk to our master on my behalf."
"Hahaha..."
At that moment, Bear Lord suddenly burst into laughter.
He looked at Di Tian with an amused expression, "Oh Boss, our master said you spout nonsense, and I didn't believe it at first. Now, I do."
"If we can't even pass our own tribulations, how could we possibly help our master with hers? Before saying that, Boss, you should think about how you'll get through your own ninety-million-year grand tribulation in ninety thousand years' time."
In the end, Bear Lord's expression was full of disdain.
Among the many ferocious beasts of the Aquipeia Forest, he was the one who respected Di Tian the least.
Di Tian gave him a cold glance and couldn't be bothered to respond.
Do I have to explain to you that Senior Lin Yi granted me ninety million years of cultivation and helped me safely get through the ninety-million-year grand tribulation?
Anyway, when our master appears, everything will be revealed in her sight.
It will naturally be proved then.
"In short, our master won't see me now for any reason, right?"
Di Tian turned to Bi Ji and asked.
Bi Ji nodded somewhat helplessly, "Her Majesty said so, and she must still be angry with you for waking her without a proper reason previously. You know how furious Her Majesty can be when she gets up!"
"Bi Ji, do you actually not believe that there is such a person in Soul City?"
Di Tian frowned.
Bi Ji bit her lip and shook her head, "Senior, it's been tens of thousands of years, and humans have never dared to provoke us. How could someone suddenly emerge with such divine powers?"
"And you're the Soul Beast God, Di Tian! What kind of device could capture you... It's all like a fantasy tale. You must be hallucinating from practicing too strenuously recently."
Bi Ji's words were relatively gentle.
Bear Lord, however, burst into unrestrained laughter.
"Hahaha, listen to this! The mighty Soul Beast God, Di Tian, claims he was caught by a human cage. Maybe, Senior, you should recall carefully if the cage had your favorite swan or something inside..."
Bear Lord was holding his belly, laughing.
At this, Bi Ji shot Bear Lord a fierce glare.
Di Tian's brows furrowed as he took a deep breath.
He knew no one would believe what he said now, but the master would eventually fully awaken. Once the master awoke, all facts would become clear.
Seeing Bear Lord's mocking gaze, a fire of rage built up inside Di Tian.
It seemed necessary to slap that flabby face several times to vent his anger!
"The master should be awake by now, right? When is the heavenly tribulation coming?"
Di Tian asked in a somber voice.
He knew that only after the heavenly tribulation was over would the master formally appear.
At the mention of the heavenly tribulation, Bi Ji and the others' expressions became serious.
"We're waiting, and the master is also waiting. It should be soon."
No sooner had Bi Ji finished speaking than Di Tian looked down and suddenly noticed that every hair on his skin was standing on end.
A sensation like a spreading electric current coursed through his body.
Not only him, but all the ferocious beasts standing by the Star Lake shared the same sensation.
Bear Lord looked up vigilantly and noticed the anomaly above.
The sky turned gloomy, and the falling raindrops first stalled in the air, then seemed to defy gravity by flowing upward, stunning all the ferocious beasts.
"It's here..."
Di Tian murmured, "The master's heavenly tribulation has arrived."
Indeed, the next second, the dark clouds in the sky began to spin faster, creating a terrifying black vortex.
This scene was all too familiar to Di Tian.
Wasn't this the Seven-colored Heavenly Tribulation that he had just experienced?!
Dense and thick lightning snaked through the clouds, each bolt a brilliant color, like serpents seeking life.
Apart from Di Tian, the other ferocious beasts had never experienced the Seven-colored Heavenly Tribulation.
"Boom—"
"Boom—"
At that moment, fierce winds howled and thunder roared.
All the soul beasts in the Aquipeia Forest had gone into hiding.
The Azure Oxpython had just been cautiously sticking its head out to watch the gathering of the ferocious beasts, and upon witnessing the heavenly tribulation, it hurriedly burrowed back into the bottom of the lake.
The next moment, a colossal bolt of black lightning struck hard, landing right beside Bear Lord and blasting his mountainous body flying.
Di Tian's eyes widened slightly as it was evident that this Seven-colored Heavenly Tribulation was far more severe than the one he had just gone through.
The master's tribulation was indeed on a different level than his own.
Colossal bolts of lightning lashed down from the swirling clouds in the sky, each strike delving deep into the ground.
Because Gu Yuena was right beneath the ground's surface!
But the sight before them seemed less like a punishment for Gu Yuena and more like a punishment for the entire Aquipeia Forest...
The ground of the Aquipeia Forest began to tremble, and a resounding dragon's chant seemed to emerge from below.
The next moment, thousands of water dragons leapt out from the Star Lake, spreading across the land and rapidly freezing over.
The ground of the entire Aquipeia Forest was covered with a thick layer of ice!
Seeing this, Bi Ji's eyes popped open, "The master is exerting her power! Quick! Let's help too!"
