The black smoke dissipated.
Jin Mian emerged, completely unscathed.
The Battle Armor on his body looked as if it had just been forged.
Under the refraction of the sunlight, it shimmered with a faint golden light.
That terrifyingly powerful dragon flame had failed to have any effect at all.
Seeing this,
Di Tian's massive dragon body shuddered.
His golden vertical pupils constricted as he looked at Jin Mian in disbelief.
A low, questioning growl escaped his throat.
"Impossible!"
"My Dragon Breath would leave even an ordinary Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast dead or crippled with just a touch."
"It's impossible for you to be completely fine."
Seeing Di Tian's sheltered and inexperienced reaction,
Jin Mian didn't bother to explain.
He suddenly charged forward.
He began a series of probing exchanges with Di Tian.
The man and the dragon turned into two streaks of light, colliding fiercely in mid-air.
Various techniques were unleashed as if they cost nothing,
falling everywhere in the surroundings.
The surrounding giant trees collapsed in massive swathes.
Many ten-year and hundred-year Spirit Beasts wished they had extra legs
to flee the area as quickly as possible.
Those Spirit Beasts that were slower naturally became fertilizer for the earth.
Before long,
this entire region was reduced to ruins by the shockwaves
generated by the two of them.
Having finished their probing and warm-up, Jin Mian and Di Tian
simultaneously began to display their true strength.
"Roar!!!"
Di Tian let out an earth-shattering roar.
The dark purple scales across his entire body flared with brilliant light!
A deep luster flowed over the scales, each one emitting terrifying energy.
It was enough to make one's blood run cold.
His dragon claws spread open, the sharp talons glinting with a cold black-purple light.
"Dragon King Claw!"
Di Tian raised his hand abruptly and clawed down heavily toward Jin Mian.
Dragon King Claw!
This was Di Tian's own technique.
Though it could not compare to the Dragon God Claw bestowed by the Dragon God, its power was still exceptionally formidable.
Wherever the dragon claw passed, space was actually torn open into countless tiny, pitch-black cracks.
One could see the lethality of this move.
Facing Di Tian's Dragon King Claw,
Jin Mian also unleashed his self-created Spirit Ability.
"Sextuple Dawn: Sacred Fist!"
After several years of refinement,
the Triple Dawn: Sacred Fist of the past had long since been elevated to a whole new realm.
Sextuple Dawn: Sacred Fist!
As the name suggested,
when activated,
it would stack six layers of fist imprints.
With each additional layer, the power would double!
Furthermore, each layer of the fist imprint carried a different attribute!
The spirit power within Jin Mian's body erupted.
Six-colored fist imprints flickered before him.
He kicked off the ground, shooting forward like an arrow from a bow through the six layers of fist shadows, charging rapidly at Di Tian.
Boom!!!
The Sextuple Dawn: Sacred Fist and Di Tian's Dragon King Claw collided violently!
In an instant!
The world lost its color.
With the point of impact as the center, violent energy swept out in all directions like a rampaging flood... in the core zone.
Inside the Lake of Life.
The moment Di Tian brought Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan near the Star Dou Great Forest,
the Silver Dragon King sensed the auras unique to the Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King.
Though they were very faint,
the familiarity stemming from the depths of her bloodline still made this female dragon miss them immensely.
A bit of saliva couldn't help but leak from the corner of her mouth.
She straightened up and said, "He finally brought them back."
The current Silver Dragon King desperately needed the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings
to heal her own wounds.
The sooner she recovered her strength, the sooner she could lead the Spirit Beasts to attack the God Realm
and rescue the Golden Dragon King.
At that time, the two dragons would merge, and the Dragon God would reappear!
When that happened, the God Realm would surely return to the hands of the Spirit Beasts.
After unifying the God Realm,
the first thing they would do as Spirit Beasts would be to eliminate all the gods in the God Realm.
Then, they would slaughter all the humans on the continent.
That way, they could maintain the status of Spirit Beasts without any worries.
Thinking of this,
a fervent light flashed in the Silver Dragon King's eyes.
But after a while,
Di Tian still hadn't returned.
This made the Silver Dragon King very puzzled.
Is Di Tian a tortoise? Why is he so slow?
They clearly reached the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, but half a day has passed.
Not even a shadow has been seen.
Logically speaking,
for such a short distance, Di Tian should have been able to make it even if he were crawling.
Helpless,
she had no choice but to use her powerful mental force to investigate the situation outside.
The result was the discovery
that Di Tian was actually fighting with a young human brat.
The fighting itself wasn't the issue.
The key was that Di Tian was actually at a disadvantage.
It was simply a disgrace to dragons.
Her gaze swept over
and found Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan.
Though she didn't know why the Fire Dragon King and Ice Dragon King appeared as human toddlers,
and even had human auras mixed in,
she couldn't care less anymore.
Desperate to obtain the energy within the two little ones for her recovery, the Silver Dragon King
immediately issued orders to the four Great Beasts before her.
"Bi Ji, Ten Thousand Demon King, Xiong Jun, Chi Wang!"
"The four of you go to the outskirts of the forest immediately to support Di Tian! Kill that human! And bring back the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King for me."
The four Great Beasts immediately replied respectfully, "Yes! My Lord!"
They then left the Lake of Life together.
On the way to provide support,
the four beasts were full of questions.
"The Lord wants us to support Lord Di Tian, but with Lord Di Tian's strength, which human could be his match?" Ten Thousand Demon King frowned.
Xiong Jun said with a gloating expression, "Who knows? Di Tian is always so arrogant, bragging about how powerful his Dragon God Claw is. I didn't expect him to be stopped by a human and even need us for support."
"This joke is enough for me, Old Xiong, to laugh at him for a lifetime."
Bi Ji said, "Alright, stop talking. We're almost there."
At the very back was Chi Wang; because his strength was the weakest,
he didn't have much of a say... meanwhile.
The battle between Jin Mian and Di Tian had already reached a fever pitch.
Under the powerful shockwaves of the battle,
this place, which had originally been lush with vegetation, had long since turned into a cratered wasteland.
"Spatial Guidance!"
Di Tian's massive body suddenly became as light and quick as a bird.
With a flap of his wings,
he instantly traced strange trajectories through space,
actually teleporting directly behind Jin Mian.
How could he let such a great opportunity
pass by?
He immediately raised his dragon claws and unleashed Dragon King Claw, striking Jin Mian's back repeatedly.
"Die!"
Clang! Clang! Clang—
A series of heavy blows followed.
The impact sent sparks flying everywhere.
But when he checked the results, Di Tian was dumbfounded.
"Nani?!"
He saw that the Dragon King Claws he just landed on the human's armor
had done nothing except kick up a few sparks.
There was no effect at all.
Not even a scratch was left behind!
Jin Mian turned his head slightly without saying a word.
His gaze locked onto Di Tian's golden pupils.
It was as if he were saying: Are you just scratching an itch for me?
At the same time,
Di Tian finally, from this human before him,
felt a hint of suffocating pressure that left him breathless!
