Chapter 329 Di Tian: What's this kid doing here?
Dark clouds hung low in the sky, thick layers pressing down on the horizon, blocking out all sunlight and shrouding the entire land in a depressing gray.
The air was heavy and humid, with occasional muffled thunder rumbling from the depths of the clouds, as if a torrential downpour could be drenching us at any moment.
Huo Yuhao and Jin Li flew in mid-air, their soul-guided flying vehicles leaving two pale blue trails of flame in the dim sky.
The outline of Shrek City was faintly visible under the gloomy sky. Jin Li turned to look at Huo Yuhao beside her and asked, "Aren't we going back to take a look?"
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment: "No, I'll go home after this trip to Star Dou is over."
After saying that, the two stopped and their speed suddenly increased, turning into two streaks of light and speeding towards the starry sky.
After Huo Yuhao successfully absorbed the soul spirit of the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he and Jin Li headed directly towards the Star Dou Forest. After two days, they finally arrived at the edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
From the air, the Starry Sky Forest resembles a boundless, dark green ocean, with the canopies of towering ancient trees intertwined in layers, stretching as far as the eye can see.
The two landed slowly at the edge of the forest, the air filled with the rich fragrance of grass and trees and the moist scent of earth, completely different from the air outside.
Just as Huo Yuhao was about to step into the depths of the forest, Jin Li suddenly grabbed his arm.
Jin Li looked at Huo Yuhao as he turned around, shook her head and said, "There's no need to go any further. Di Tian will come to pick us up. Just wait here."
As an imperial auspicious beast, Jinli carries the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest lineage.
As soon as she steps into the Star Dou Great Forest, the fortune of the entire forest will undergo subtle but significant changes, which Di Tian will naturally sense immediately.
With his abilities, it wouldn't take him long to find Jin Li's exact location.
Sure enough, shortly after Jin Li finished speaking, Huo Yuhao turned around abruptly as if he had sensed something.
In mid-air directly in front of him, a spatial rift suddenly tore open without warning.
The crack had irregular, jagged edges, and the pitch-black interior was bottomless, as if even light could not escape from it, like a wound in the sky that was difficult to heal.
Immediately afterwards, a tall figure slowly stepped out from the spatial rift.
Even though he didn't deliberately reveal any aura, Huo Yuhao still felt a heavy pressure, like a mountain, coming towards him.
Because the person who came was none other than Di Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King who had lived for 890,000 years and was the supreme ruler of the soul beast race on the Douluo Continent.
Huo Yuhao has now fused with the Eight-Cornered Mystic Ice Grass soul spirit, and his strength has improved once again, making him comparable to an ordinary Title Douluo.
Yet, even now, facing Di Tian, he still clearly felt that the gap between himself and this Beast God was still as vast as an insurmountable chasm.
He slightly tensed his back, but his face remained calm and composed as he met God's deep, unfathomable eyes with neither arrogance nor servility.
Di Tian glanced down at Huo Yuhao, a hint of surprise flashing deep in his golden pupils.
He clearly hadn't expected that Huo Yuhao would actually return to the Star Dou Great Forest with the auspicious beast.
He naturally wouldn't give Huo Yuhao, the culprit who "abducted" the auspicious beast, a pleasant look.
He gave a cold snort, and when he turned his gaze to Jin Li, his stern, chiseled face softened slightly.
Jin Li tilted her head back, smiling brightly at Di Tian, and called out affectionately, "Di Tian, Di Tian, did you miss me?"
Looking at her grinning face, Di Tian's lips involuntarily curled up slightly, but he quickly suppressed it, his face stern as he said in a deep voice, "So you know how to come back?"
His voice remained deep and authoritative, but Jin Li chuckled, "Don't be so serious, I know you're not angry."
Di Tian looked at Jin Li, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
After the auspicious beast transformed and entered human society, it seemed to him to be much more lively and agile than it had been in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even the light in its golden eyes when it spoke was brighter than before.
This change was neither good nor bad, but it made Di Tian vaguely feel that perhaps agreeing to let the auspicious beast leave Xingdou was not a wrong decision.
He suppressed the subtle emotion welling up inside him and turned his gaze back to Huo Yuhao standing beside Jin Li, his tone returning to its previous icy sneer: "What's this kid doing here?"
Jin Li also turned to look at Huo Yuhao. Seeing him nod slightly, she met God's gaze again, her tone serious: "Yuhao came here this time specifically to discuss something with you."
Hearing Jin Li's natural "Yuhao," Di Tian felt an inexplicable irritation surge up again, and couldn't help but let out another heavy snort.
If it were any other human, daring to swagger into the Star Dou Great Forest and specifically ask for him by name, he would definitely kick them out without hesitation, even if he didn't immediately teach them a lesson.
Whether or not you can discuss matters with Di Tian depends on whether he is willing to do so.
However, Huo Yuhao was different. He not only made the mythical beasts want to get close to him, but this young man also hid a secret about his master.
Di Tian slowly descended from mid-air, his black robe fluttering slightly in the wind, and stood steadily between Huo Yuhao and Jin Li.
He looked at Huo Yuhao expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Don't resist."
To be honest, Di Tian was also secretly shocked at this moment.
How long has it been since he last saw Huo Yuhao? Yet this kid seems to have undergone a complete transformation, his aura clearly more refined than one level.
Di Tian even had a vague intuition that if this kid really resisted, he probably wouldn't be able to take him away so easily, which is why he unusually spoke up to remind him in advance.
Huo Yuhao nodded, indicating that he understood.
The next moment, a familiar feeling of dizziness surged up all over me.
That was a unique feeling when traversing space, something Huo Yuhao had long been accustomed to.
When the scene before us brightened again, the first thing that hit us was an intense, almost suffocating, surge of primordial energy and life force.
Huo Yuhao subconsciously took a deep breath and looked up. Before him was a lake as green as jade.
The lake surface was as smooth as a mirror, and its emerald green color was so rich that it seemed unreal. The entire lake looked like a huge piece of jade inlaid on the earth.
Huo Yuhao immediately recognized this place as the Lake of Life, the true core of the Star Dou Great Forest, and the supreme holy land of the Soul Beast race.
Huo Yuhao turned around and looked at the tall and majestic figure in black robes behind him. His lips parted slightly, and he was about to say something when he saw Di Tian's expression suddenly become solemn.
Before Huo Yuhao could react, Di Tian suddenly stretched out his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread, and grabbed straight at him.
Huo Yuhao's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed instantly. He subconsciously thought that Di Tian was about to attack him.
His mind raced in a split second, and he almost donned his two-word battle armor and ran away in an instant.
Although he knew that the gap between himself and Di Tian could not be bridged by a set of battle armor, he was probably doomed to fail.
But at the very moment he was about to react, his spiritual power at the Spirit Realm level did not sense the slightest killing intent from Di Tian.
Not only did it lack any murderous intent, but the right hand that reached out to grab him didn't even seem to possess any power.
Therefore, Huo Yuhao forcibly suppressed the surging vigilance and instincts in his heart and did not make any excessive reaction.
Then Huo Yuhao suddenly felt something within his body being abruptly activated by an invisible force. Immediately afterwards, a thick black light shot out from between his eyebrows and landed steadily in Di Tian's palm.
Huo Yuhao stared intently and finally saw the true form of the black light. It was a palm-sized black scale, as black as ink, perfectly shield-shaped, and gleaming with a cold, eerie light under the reflection of the emerald green glow of the Lake of Life.
He was very familiar with this scale; it was the black dragon's reverse scale that Di Tian had personally given him.
