Chapter 265: The Land of Great Ferocity; Sovereign of Spirit Beasts
The world-shaking commotion caused by the sacrifice of two Hundred-thousand-year Soul Beasts naturally and inevitably alerted those truly terrifying ancient existences in the deepest parts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Beneath the Lake of Life, in the Land of Great Ferocity.
Within this independent small space, a group of peerless Ferocious beasts were surrounding a giant silkworm baby that was as white as jade, greedily absorbing the Origin energy from its body.
At this moment, the two waves of sacrifice continuously coming from the surface startled them all from their deep slumber.
Among them was a Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bear, its body covered in thick, dark-gold fur, with a pair of front claws several meters long that looked like sky-tearing blades.
There was a giant Demon Tree, its true form thousands of feet tall, its trunk covered with countless eerie demonic eyes, and its branches winding and twisting like demonic dragons.
There was also an exquisite swan covered in warm emerald feathers, its entire body radiating a soft halo of Life.
"Those damned humans up there! The two little guys guarding the gate for us were actually forced to sacrifice themselves like that!"
"I, Old Bear, really can't stand this anymore!"
The one speaking was none other than the King of the Dark Golden Dreadclaw Bears, Xiong Jun, who would be infamously known among the Ten Great Vicious Beasts ten thousand years later.
It waved its giant claws irritably and roared at the black Dragon in the lead: "Di Tian, if you continue to cower here and do nothing, then your title as the so-called Beast God will truly be unworthy of its name!"
And Di Tian, whom he addressed directly by name, was the former personal guard of the Dragon God, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King!
"Xiong Jun, watch your words. And do not forget our true mission for lying low here."
A black Dragon that blotted out the sun slowly circled, its body flashing with a heart-palpitating, dense black light.
As the light retracted, a handsome man dressed in black stepped out from the void.
His eyes were a brilliant gold, his temperament overbearing and indifferent, carrying a Supreme aura that looked down upon all living beings.
"If you dare to act on your own and draw the gaze of the God Realm, thereby exposing the existence of the Lord, I will personally behead you immediately without needing anyone else to lift a finger."
Seeing the boss's anger, the other Ferocious beasts also transformed into human forms and gathered around with varying expressions.
"But Di Tian, those insatiable humans have already come to our doorstep to act so presumptuously. Can we really only watch with our eyes wide open and do nothing?" Xiong Jun was still somewhat indignant, gritting his teeth as he said, "As the Beast God, you can't be unaware that since the rise of the Human Race, the living space of our Soul Beast clan has been constantly compressed! Today, those two little guys at the gate were forced to sacrifice for some unknown reason; perhaps in the near future, it will be us who are skinned and deboned!"
Without a doubt, Xiong Jun's gruff words accurately struck Di Tian's sore spot.
He claimed the title of Beast God, and strictly speaking, all Soul Beasts on the entire Douluo Continent were his subjects.
Seeing his clansmen being slaughtered at will, how could he not be anxious?
The faces of the other Beast King experts also bore the same worried expressions.
Even Bi Ji, the Emerald Swan who usually had a gentle and refined temperament, showed a hint of Battle Intent in her eyes.
Just as Di Tian's face darkened and he was preparing to release his Spiritual Power to the surface to investigate the specific situation, an ethereal, pleasant, yet supremely majestic voice suddenly echoed in his spiritual sea.
"Di Tian, do not act rashly."
"I can clearly sense that the young human currently accepting the Soul Beast sacrifice outside carries a pure aura of Divinity. That power is as vast as the sea; it should be the Sea God who underwent Ascension to the God Realm ten thousand years ago."
"Not only that, on another human powerhouse nearby, I even detected the intertwined auras of the two God Kings, Life and Destruction. And in the more distant human Spirit City, the Legacies of the two Divinities, Rakshasa and Angel, are also lying in wait."
The owner of this voice paused, her tone revealing a wisdom that saw through the world: "The current era is when the Human Race's Luck is at its Peak. But as the saying goes, prosperity leads to decline. With so many Prodigies qualified to inherit a God Position being born in the same era, they will inevitably break out into earth-shattering internal strife and god wars to compete for Luck and dominance."
"The only thing our Soul Beast clan needs to do now is to stay put and watch the tigers fight from the mountain. When they have both suffered losses and my injuries have completely recovered to their Peak, it will be the perfect opportunity for us to lead the Soul Beast clan in a full-scale counterattack and settlement!"
After hearing this far-sighted transmission from the Lord, Di Tian's originally restless heart instantly calmed down completely.
Even ten thousand years ago, the only ones on the entire continent who could become gods were the founder of the Spirit Hall and Poseidon on the great sea.
In those ten thousand years, human Prodigies were as numerous as carp crossing a river, but none could truly take that final step.
But the humans of this era on the surface had actually reached such a perverted level, with so many Prodigies possessing the potential for godhood emerging simultaneously!
It was truly terrifying!
If his rash impulsiveness just now had led to the secret location of the Lord's recuperation being discovered by those false gods of the God Realm, then he, Di Tian, would be a sinner of the Dragon Clan through the ages, whose death would not be enough to atone for his crime!
'Fortunately, the Lord possesses such world-shaking wisdom to see through everything! Otherwise, if I had really been incited by Xiong Jun and rushed out, everything would have been over!"
Di Tian sincerely praised the Lord's brilliance and martial prowess in his heart, then turned around and coldly informed the other Ferocious beasts of the Lord's decision, signaling everyone to continue lying low peacefully.
When the beasts heard that it was a personal decree from the Supreme Lord, even Xiong Jun, who had the most explosive temper and had just been clamoring to go out and fight, honestly shut his mouth and didn't dare to make another sound.
With an evil fire stifled in his heart and nowhere to vent, Xiong Jun turned around unhappily and strode to the side of the big fat silkworm that was tightly locked by a special Formation at the bottom of the Lake of Life.
He raised his incomparably sharp Dark Golden Dreadclaw, and with a "squelch" sound, he directly gouged out a large piece of crystal-clear silkworm meat radiating dense Origin power from the big fat silkworm, unceremoniously stuffing it into his bloody maw and chewing wildly.
"Wuwuwu... It hurts so much! Why is my Life so bitter!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, who had suffered a physical "leek harvesting," twisted his round body frantically within the Formation, wailing in his heart with teary eyes.
"If I had known I would end up like this, imprisoned by these damned Star Dou Ferocious beasts in the dark underwater as flesh-and-blood nourishment, with my internal power being crazily extracted... back then, I might as well have just offered myself to my Bing Bing! That way... wouldn't Bing Bing and I be together forever in another way!"
