Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

If even Zi Ji cannot contend with him, then he will fight to the death to make Gu Yue Na realize her mistakes and not let her lead the entire clan of soul beasts into the pit.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena weighed the pros and cons and felt that it wouldn't be difficult for Chen Yao to deal with Zi Ji. Just as she was about to nod in agreement,

Chen Yao, who had remained silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up.

"No need. Since I want you to be convinced, I can't just fight like this. You're the one. I also want to see just how strong I really am now."

Everyone turned around at the sound and saw Chen Yao pointing at Di Tian with a calm and composed smile.

Originally, Chen Yao was unwilling to go through all the trouble of dealing with a bunch of beasts and just let Gu Yuena subdue them so that he could obtain the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and advance as soon as possible. However, he could see Di Tian's sense of responsibility towards the Soul Beast Clan and his attitude of not being afraid of Gu Yuena's power.

Chen Yao disagreed with this, but understood it, so he was willing to respect them, demonstrate his abilities, and dispel their doubts.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena's expression changed drastically, and even Di Tian looked bewildered, asking in disbelief.

"Are you sure? With my strength, I can contend with you humans, even a level 99 Limit Douluo!"

Gu Yuena nodded seriously. After all, Di Tian had grown up under her watchful eye, and she knew his abilities very well. Although he was still insignificant in the eyes of the gods, he would be more than capable of dealing with the divine servants of Douluo Continent.

Just as Gu Yuena was about to offer some advice, Chen Yao shrugged and smiled easily.

"What's there to be uncertain about? I can see what you mean. You're just worried that Gu Yuena might be deceived by me, and you want to test my strength. Isn't it perfect for you to make a proper assessment?"

Seeing Chen Yao's calm and composed demeanor, Di Tian also slightly restrained his previous contemptuous attitude. He narrowed his eyes, sized up Chen Yao, and then let out a long breath before speaking.

"Good! I've seen countless cowardly, cunning, and treacherous humans, but you're the first to remain so calm and composed in front of me. I hope your confidence and strength are as strong as your tone. I don't expect you to defeat me; if you can withstand a hundred moves from me without being defeated, I'll acknowledge you!"

"What's so difficult about that?"

As he spoke, a thick layer of black energy began to swirl around Chen Yao's body, and behind him appeared a series of spirit rings that terrified all the ferocious beasts, not because of the color of the spirit rings.

Soul beasts are actually the most sensitive to soul rings that come from them.

They could sense that Chen Yao's spirit rings were only a few hundred or a thousand years old at first, which were not worth mentioning, but from the third spirit ring onwards, they were all over ten thousand years old.

Especially after that dark red spirit ring, all of them are over 100,000 years old!

Especially the eighth spirit ring, although it looks like a ten-thousand-year spirit ring, it is black.

However, Di Tian and the others were able to keenly sense that this was definitely produced by a soul beast that was over 50 years old!

It should be noted that among these ferocious beasts, apart from Di Tian, ​​the strongest is only the 57-year-old Demon King!

Behind Chen Yao, a soul ring of a soul beast with the strength of a ten-thousand-demon king was blatantly displayed. How could this not make the beasts tremble with fear?

For a moment, everyone, including Di Tian, ​​felt a chill run through their bodies!

"call!"

At this moment, Di Tian let out a long breath, and his gaze toward Chen Yao became solemn.

Even if it's highly likely that Chen Yao's spirit ring was found with Gu Yuena's help, the fact that Chen Yao could absorb the spirit ring of a spirit beast over 50 years old with just a human body is enough to completely prove his extraordinary nature. This dispelled many of Di Tian's doubts about Chen Yao, and he began to believe that Chen Yao was indeed an extraordinary person, just as Gu Yuena had said.

But this does not mean that Di Tian has given up testing Chen Yao. On the contrary, he is in high spirits and somewhat impatient.

As a soul beast with over 90 years of life, he was invincible in this forbidden area except for Gu Yuena. These ferocious beasts were almost no match for him. He had been lonely for a long time. Now that a seemingly qualified opponent had finally appeared, how could he let it go?

Chapter 194 Fierce Battle

"boom!"

Without hesitation, Di Tian suddenly extended a claw, unleashing a surge of immense energy that transformed into a terrifying suction force. Within a hundred meters, the surrounding rocks, trees, grass, and soil were all reduced to dust, frantically converging towards Di Tian's palm.

The next moment, the energy condensed and transformed into a round black sphere the size of an egg. It looked inconspicuous, but it subtly revealed an aura of destruction.

With a flick of his finger, the black ball shot out, hurtling towards Chen Yao's figure. In that instant, the sound of mountains roaring and seas surging, and the roar of dragons echoed. Along the way, a terrifying mark nearly ten meters deep was left on the ground.

However, facing this terrifying attack, Chen Yao neither dodged nor avoided it, but walked straight towards it.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, the small ball slammed heavily into Chen Yao, instantly unleashing a terrifying shockwave that swept outwards from its center.

His long, flowing black hair flew wildly behind him, his robes billowing. In the blink of an eye, the shockwave subsided, and everything returned to calm. Chen Yao, however, remained standing there, his injuries completely gone, and even his clothes were as simple as ever.

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone, especially Di Tian, ​​had their pupils tremble violently, finding it hard to believe.

He didn't use his full strength just now, but as a soul beast that is nearly a million years old, even a casual strike from him would be extremely fatal to an ordinary Title Douluo.

Chen Yao, who was only an eight-ring Soul Douluo, accepted the attack so calmly, which was quite beyond Di Tian's expectations!

On the other side, Chen Yao was not as calm as he appeared. His gaze shifted slightly downwards as he looked at the three ghostly lotuses swirling around him. One of them had its nine petals wither one after another, turning into a bare lotus platform before scattering away in the wind.

Seeing this, Chen Yao's eyes flickered slightly. Each of the nine lotus petals was capable of withstanding the attack of an ordinary Douluo powerhouse, but now, under Di Tian's attack, they were all turned to ashes. Moreover, it seemed that this was just a probing attack from Di Tian, ​​which greatly shocked Chen Yao. This 90-year-old soul beast truly lived up to its reputation.

However, while feeling immense pressure, Chen Yao was also extremely excited, his fighting spirit soaring. Looking at Di Tian ahead, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Chen Yao leaped into the air, his figure floating in mid-air. His soul rings lit up one after another, and various soul skills enhanced him. Then, his most unique dark red soul ring also shone, and a huge black shadow, as big as a small mountain, condensed behind him.

Once the phantom image was fully focused, the Nightmare Dragon reappeared in everyone's sight.

This time, the Nightmare Dragon's aura was completely renewed, directly leaping several levels and reaching a level comparable to a 30-year-old ferocious beast!

"This is your soul skill?!"

Di Tian and the ferocious beasts behind him stared at the enormous figure of the Nightmare Dragon, deeply shocked.

If they had seen with their own eyes that the Nightmare Dragon evolved from Chen Yao's soul ring, they would have all assumed that it was a kind of creature hidden deep in the forest, yet to be discovered.

The atmosphere was so realistic and vivid that it was unbelievable.

However, Chen Yao did not intend to answer Di Tian's question at this moment. He stood tall in the sky, looking down with a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

The next moment, Chen Yao moved. His right arm, which had somehow climbed up with flowing black flames, was swung at Di Tian from a distance. Instantly, boundless black flames erupted, but instead of spreading, they twisted into a single stream and roared towards Di Tian.

At the same time, on the right side of the Nightmare Dragon's head behind Chen Yao, a flash of fire appeared in its vertical pupil, and its throat immediately clapped. A ball of black flame, seemingly the same as Chen Yao's black flame but actually complementary, also erupted.

At the same time, the ferocious and enormous dragon claw was raised and slammed down heavily towards Di Tian!

Seeing this, Di Tian, ​​just like Chen Yao before him, did not dodge at all. He took a step forward, and his arm began to expand, covered with a layer of dense, black dragon scales. In an instant, it transformed into a sinister and ferocious dragon claw. Looking at the falling Nightmare Dragon claw, he looked at it with some contempt and raised his palm to block the falling Nightmare Dragon claw.

Although the Nightmare Dragon is comparable to a genuine 30-year-old ferocious beast, it is still far inferior to him!

With a sudden burst of force, Di Tian flung away the Nightmare Dragon's giant claw, causing the Nightmare Dragon itself to stagger.

Just as Di Tian turned his gaze to deal with the flames Chen Yao had unleashed that he had never seen before, he discovered that the two flames had merged together and transformed into a pitch-black fireball.

On this fireball, Di Tian did not feel any heat. Instead, an indescribable chill, accompanied by a deep palpitation, swept over his entire body. He had not felt this way for countless millennia.

Immediately, Di Tian dared not be careless in the slightest. Unwilling to take the hit head-on, he leaped up and hovered in mid-air, attempting to dodge.

As he expected, the pitch-black fireball crashed down on the ground where he had been standing, instantly unleashing a destructive energy wave. Moments later, the aftershocks dissipated, and the area ravaged by the black fire was transformed into a desolate wasteland, filled with a sense of despair and a chilling atmosphere.

The ferocious beasts seemed to have seen a ghost, scattering in all directions and avoiding the area covered by the black fire.

Emperor Tian, ​​who was suspended in the sky, glanced down with lingering fear. He could clearly sense that there was a kind of divine power of law within the black fire, just like the one he had felt when Gu Yuena made her move.

Although he wasn't quite at Gu Yuena's level, he would definitely not feel good if he were hit by one.

"No wonder the Lord thinks so highly of him. He's actually able to wield divine power to this extent with the strength of a Soul Douluo. I just wonder how much power he still has left?"

Di Tian turned around and looked at Chen Yao, his eyes filled with an unmistakable solemnity.

At this moment, he already agreed with Gu Yuena's choice. If Chen Yao was truly a reliable ally, with such terrifying combat power, once he fully matured, the day he could conquer the God Realm would be just around the corner!

Although he agreed in his heart, Di Tian still wanted to try again to see where Chen Yao's limits were.

His eyes immediately emitted a golden light, and his aura surged.

"Dragon Roar Triple Slash!"

With a low shout, he suddenly raised his arm and swung it three times at Chen Yao. Instantly, three dazzling golden blades burst forth one after another.

Upon seeing this, Chen Yao's expression turned slightly serious. He sensed a powerful threat and, without hesitation, his spirit rings lit up.

"Big Dark Sky!"

With a thought, an intense, unyielding darkness surged above his head. Then, he raised his hands, and ice and fire emerged and clung to them. At the same time, the Nightmare Dragon behind him also had three heads that shone with different colors. A chilling energy was now surging on the field, accompanied by Chen Yao's roar.

The energy, primarily dark with secondary elements of ice and fire, converged to form a light wave approximately 100 meters in diameter. It burst forth forward, instantly engulfing the three golden blades, and showed no sign of stopping, continuing to surge towards Di Tian's figure!

Di Tian's pupils shrank instantly, and he felt a chill run down his spine. In this ball of energy, besides a divine power law that could rival the black fire from before, there was another terrifying law that he could not understand and that far surpassed the other two divine powers.

That extreme dark law even stirred up the despair and loneliness that had been dormant in his heart for countless years.

"So this kind of energy was his trump card?"

Di Tian's mind was in turmoil at this moment, his face twitched, and he dared not be careless. He quickly dodged, trying to avoid this threatening energy as before.

But just as he was circulating his qi and blood and mobilizing his soul power, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis from behind.

He turned around in horror and saw that the strange black flames that Chen Yao had crashed to the ground earlier had not been extinguished. Instead, they had regrouped and transformed into a fire phoenix about half a zhang in size, which was flying towards him with lightning speed.

Attacked from both sides, Di Tian was at a loss for what to do. However, compared to the light wave in front of him, which was a convergence of several extreme energies, he chose to grit his teeth and withstand the black fire phoenix behind him.

"laugh!"

"boom!"

Just as he narrowly escaped the beam of light, the fire phoenix crashed heavily into his back.

"Pfft!"

Immediately, his back was blasted into a bloody mess. The intense impact caused Di Tian to feel a sweet taste in his throat and spit out a smear of crimson blood.

But the attack wasn't the end of it. The black phoenix crashed down on Di Tian's back and didn't extinguish. Instead, it carried divine power and continued to erode the already blurred wound behind him. The intense, burning pain kept coming, stimulating Di Tian's nerves.

Even with its unwavering will honed over 900,000 years, it couldn't help but grimace at this moment.

"boom!"

Before Di Tian could recover from his injuries, the darkness above Chen Yao's head began to churn violently.

Then suddenly, a huge, pitch-black hand, covered in mysterious golden patterns, emerged from it. It was about dozens in size and blotted out the sky.

Without the slightest pause, the palm, swirling with black mist and terrifying intimidation, pressed down heavily on Di Tian, ​​giving him no chance to breathe!

"Boom!"

The giant hand descended, causing a tremendous impact on the entire forest and mountain range, resulting in earthquakes, ground cracks, and tremors.

However, the impact was so widespread that it's hard to imagine the extent of the damage suffered by Di Tian, ​​who was at the center.

For a moment, the expressions of the several ferocious beasts kept changing as they looked at the center of the giant palm that had just landed.
