Douluo Continent: The Eye of Truth

Chapter 82 The Shocking Change in Ming Capital

Just as Long Aotian's Dao heart was being tormented by Huo Yuhao to the point of collapse, and he was rebuilding his worldview...

Poison Undying also arrived at Sun Moon City, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire. However, the situation seemed a bit strange, and even Poison Undying, a level 98 Super Douluo, felt threatened.

"This is... the aura of a ferocious beast? And it seems to be that guy Di Tian. How could he have traveled across half the continent to come to Sun and Moon City?"

Poison Undying had previously ventured deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, albeit by infiltrating.

After all, the Star Dou Great Forest is the largest habitat for soul beasts on the continent, and some of the most suitable soul beasts for the disciples of the sect can only be found there.

Although bound by his oath, Du Busi suppressed his aura to the level of an ordinary Title Douluo, but his repeated attacks still disturbed the ferocious beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Therefore, he had once sensed the aura of Emperor Tian, ​​but at that time, Du Busi fled far away and left the Star Dou Great Forest because the gap between them was too great.

The Beast God Di Tian, ​​seemingly due to some reason, only revealed his aura and did not descend in his true form or make a move, but even that was terrifying enough.

We need to go back to when Huo Yuhao had just returned to Shrek Academy.

The Crimson King returned to the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest with the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Di Tian looked at the Crimson King with displeasure, while the Crimson King was so frightened that he prostrated himself on the ground, intimidated by the dragon's might and Di Tian's authority.

The three large heads crashed to the ground, not daring to make the slightest movement.

In the end, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion stood in front of him and said to Di Tian, ​​"Di Tian, ​​it's not Uncle Red King's fault, it's the guidance of fate. It's inevitable that Uncle Red King couldn't take care of me."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian snorted coldly, while the Crimson King, as if granted a pardon, scrambled away from the Lake of Life area and returned to his lair.

At this moment, only Di Tian and the Three-Eyed Golden Lion remained at the edge of the vast Lake of Life. Di Tian's expression softened slightly as he looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with a hint of doting affection.

"You little rascal, you're too naughty. I've told you several times, if you want to eat, just tell the Red King and the others."

"They will naturally provide you with the best food; there's no need to go hunting yourself, as that always leads to unforeseen problems."

"What caused this loss of fortune? It must be related to human soul masters. What happened to you? Tell me in detail."

The three-eyed golden lion tilted its head, recalling the memories that Huo Yuhao had previously instilled in it, and picked out the fragments that interested it as it recounted them.

Di Tian listened quietly. It seemed that although the little guy was interested in the human world, he was not yet eager to go there immediately.

Once the imperial auspicious beast and the human are connected by attributes, their fates become intertwined, and they will involuntarily attract and draw closer to each other in their behavioral trajectories—this is unstoppable.

However, for the sake of the stability of the Star Dou Great Forest and the safety of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion itself, the later this day arrives, the better.

"What's wrong? Why did you stop talking?" Di Tian looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion with some curiosity.

After all, he had been protecting the Silver Dragon King for quite some time, at least tens of thousands of years, without leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.

As he listened to the rapid changes in the human world, he also pondered the relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts in the future. Although he had absolute confidence in the Silver Dragon King, for some reason, he still felt somewhat uneasy.

"Di Tian, ​​don't get excited. I think I saw a true dragon egg belonging to the direct line of the Fire Dragon Royal Family that has ended up in the human world."

"??????" Di Tian's golden eyes widened, his aura surged, and a faint dragon's roar echoed in the air.

Throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest, all the beasts felt the dragon's might and dared not make the slightest move. They all sensed the fury emanating from the being known as the Beast God.

"Humans, how dare they!"

Although the relationship between the Fire Dragon Clan and the Black Dragon Clan to which Di Tian belongs is neither close nor distant, pure-blooded true dragons are rare. Therefore, even if Di Tian receives news about other, unrelated true dragons, he will often lend a helping hand.

The difference lies in the bloodline of the royal family. Even among the pure-blooded true dragons, there is a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate lineages. The legitimate lineage naturally inherits the last power of the previous dragon king and is inherently noble.

Just like his own Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ​​as the last member of the Black Dragon royal family, he possessed the purest bloodline and the most powerful strength of the Black Dragon clan.

The lineage of the dragon king does not change based on which dragon egg is the last one to survive. However, the one with the best chance of surviving is usually the dragon king's direct lineage.

Because of their strength, the dragon eggs bred by the direct lineage of the Dragon King are far superior to ordinary pure-blooded dragon eggs in terms of their innate talents, protective abilities, and vitality.

In this way, it will naturally be easier for it to be preserved for future generations.

However, to capture and study a true dragon directly descended from the Dragon King is no longer just a matter for the Fire Dragon Clan, but a trampling on the past glory of the Dragon Clan. As the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian naturally cannot ignore this.

After the Three-Eyed Golden Lion told Di Tian all the information Huo Yuhao had given her, Di Tian calmed down, but the anger hidden in his eyes grew even stronger.

However, the information provided by the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was extremely vague, making it impossible to confirm which force ultimately obtained the true dragon egg.

"It's alright, that's enough. It seems I also need to go out and make my way in the world, lest everyone forget about me, Di Tian!"

Di Tian transformed into human form, directly tearing through space and leaving the Star Dou Great Forest.

There were two main reasons why he never left the Star Dou Great Forest in the past: firstly, the Silver Dragon King's condition was unstable, and secondly, there was nothing on the Douluo Continent that particularly attracted him.

However, now that he has received news of the true dragon egg, and with the Silver Dragon King's condition having just stabilized, he has ample time to explore the whereabouts of the true dragon egg.

The Douluo Continent is only so big. After Di Tian used a secret technique to strengthen his connection with the directional dragon bloodline, he could detect the presence of the true dragon egg as long as it appeared within his sensing range.

Di Tian was once a dragon who traveled all over Douluo Star and almost flew into outer space. He searched all the places in Douluo Continent where true dragon eggs might exist or be hidden.

Including Shrek Academy, but he discovered that none of these places still had any active dragon aura, so in the end there was only one choice.

Thousands of years ago, due to the drift of continental plates, the Sun Moon Empire, a kingdom that originally belonged to the Sun Moon Continent, collided with the Douluo Continent.

As expected, upon arriving at Sun Moon City, the capital of the Sun Moon Empire, the True Dragon Egg, though barely perceptible, instinctively called out to Di Tian, ​​its kin.

At this time, Poison Undying also arrived near Sun and Moon City.

"Since Di Tian intends to make a move, then I'll just observe and see if this so-called soul tool is qualified to pose a threat to Di Tian, ​​the Beast God and one of the continent's top beast kings."

With this in mind, Du Bu Si immediately concealed his aura, blending into the surrounding environment, and then disappeared into a forest outside the city.

"Damn it, who is this person who dares to trespass into Mingdu!" An eighth-level Soul Master responsible for guarding the outer city exclaimed in shock.

His teammate, another level eight Soul Master, immediately sensed something was wrong and exclaimed, "No, this isn't an ordinary person! This is the aura of a Soul Beast! It's a ferocious beast!"

"I've sensed this aura before; it's from an existence over 100,000 years old, capable of taking human form—definitely a ferocious beast! Quickly notify the level nine Soul Masters guarding the inner city!"

"At present, only the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps has a chance to fight against them, as well as those level nine soul masters."

So they quickly pressed the communication soul guide device provided in the city.

Hundreds of messages were disseminated through various means, triggering the highest level of threat alert and immediately mobilizing the powerful figures throughout Sun and Moon City.

The inner city of Sun and Moon City is where the royal family and nobles reside, enjoying the best resources in the entire empire. It is also where most of the powerful figures live.

"Is the highest level of threat Shrek Academy resorting to desperate measures?"

"I don't know. Let's go out first. The head of Mingde Hall is away for a while, so we old bones will have to rely on him."

"And then there's the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps. They have six level-nine Soul Masters, plus a Soul Master Corps tailored specifically for them. Even a Limit Douluo would have to perish here!"

After a brief exchange via the communication soul tool, figures rose into the air, heading straight towards the direction where Di Tian was.

Inside the palace.

Xu Tianran's expression changed. Although outsiders did not know, he was also a level 89 Soul Douluo powerhouse, and was extremely close to the threshold of level 90.

However, due to the excessive amount of pills he had previously consumed, coupled with the defects in his own body, his soul power was difficult to circulate, thus preventing him from breaking through for a long time.

However, after recognizing Ye Xishui as his godmother, with the help of the Holy Spirit Sect's secret methods, the stagnation in his body caused by the pills was being rapidly cleared.

As long as he waits for the accumulated elixir to dissipate, and then uses the power of the Holy Spirit Cult, he can become a true Title Douluo powerhouse.

However, now, relying on his martial soul, the Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon, he felt an extremely oppressive dragon's might appear near Sun and Moon City.

"Your Highness, His Majesty the Emperor requests your presence," a palace servant hurriedly announced.

Xu Tianran nodded slightly, and after the palace servant left, he said to a dark corner of his palace, "Please ask my godmother to come here. The attack on Sun Moon City this time is probably not friendly. Without her, something terrible might happen."

A shadow flickered, and the darkness of the conversation seemed to brighten slightly. With the help of those around him, Xu Tianran was pushed in his wheelchair to meet the current emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, his father.

After Di Tian arrived, he did not immediately attack and destroy the city, but waited for the Sun Moon Empire to mobilize its forces.

He never took these little people's so-called soul tools seriously; this was the pride of the dragon race.

For dragons, only their own bodies and claws are the most reliable and powerful weapons. As for soul tools, human power is not worth mentioning.

Unfortunately, he was wrong. Many years later, Di Tian was injured.

Even if it was just because of his carelessness, if he hadn't instinctively switched from human form to his beast form in time to withstand the attack with his strongest form, it probably wouldn't have been as simple as just bleeding and getting injured.

Di Tian's blood flowed down his scales, but no one dared to have any designs on this incomparably precious dragon blood.

Before the emergence of demigod-level powerhouses, Di Tian was undoubtedly the most outstanding powerhouse on the Douluo Continent.

Even the so-called Limit Douluo can only last a little longer against an unserious Di Tian.

"Beast God, please calm down. I, Kong Deming, represent my Sun Moon Empire to negotiate with you. My Sun Moon Empire has never had any dealings with the Star Dou Great Forest. I do not know why you, Beast God, have invaded our territory today."

An elderly man, extremely tall with short, gray-white hair standing on end and wearing a bright yellow robe reserved for royalty, appeared in the air, confronting Di Tian.

Upon seeing the other party's appearance, many level nine soul masters breathed a sigh of relief and revealed expressions of utmost respect.

Although this person only possessed a level 94 soul power aura, Di Tian's instinctive warnings were frantically alerting him.

The threat posed by this person was actually greater than the previous attack, which was launched by the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Corps and its six leaders and deputy leaders, all level nine soul masters.

"Hmph, my dragon race was taken away by your Sun Moon Empire. What's wrong with me just bringing back my own people?"

The dragon's might was released from Di Tian, ​​and Di Tian became slightly more serious. A large number of humans, soul masters, and soul instructors immediately fainted.

Even level eight soul masters are no exception, and most of them are the same. However, some of them still manage to stay conscious by relying on their own willpower and the help of their soul tools.

Seeing this, Kong Deming flicked his hand, and a blue light enveloped the soldiers and civilians of the Sun Moon Empire, protecting them from further injury under the oppressive power of the dragon.

"This is a soul tool? You don't actually think this toy could be of any use to me, do you?!"

Seeing Di Tian's unfriendly expression, Kong Deming shook his head: "I really don't know about this matter. It should be the work of an individual within my Sun Moon Empire. As for the specifics, please be patient, Beast God. I will definitely be able to give you an explanation within half an hour."

"Hmph, that's for the best."

Kong Deming descended towards Mingde Hall, while the other Soul Masters continued to maintain their confrontation with Di Tian.

At this moment, what Kong Deming said was naturally a lie. How could such an important scientific research project as the True Dragon Egg possibly bypass him, a top-level Soul Master?

With the help of the dragon egg and the study of its external structure, Kong Deming's progress in developing a level 10 soul tool has made great strides in recent times.

Now that the main party has come knocking, for the sake of the stability of the Sun Moon Empire, we naturally have to give an explanation.

However, after previous testing, most of the value of the crystals on the outside of the dragon egg has been discovered. Although they cannot be used due to their high energy level, they can be imitated.

If this energy crystal cannot be opened, then there is naturally no way to hatch the dragon egg inside. Giving it to Di Tian like this is not necessarily a bad thing.

"Lord Kong Deming, how about I take over the rest of the matter?" Zhongli Wu appeared in front of Kong Deming and said with a smile. Behind him was a person completely shrouded in black robes, whose identity could not be seen.
