Chapter 257: Douluo Capital Warren Buffett Di Tian!
Inside the cave.
Just as Di Tian's hand, imbued with pure soul power, touched Tang Chuan's chest, the latter's body suddenly shone with a colorful light.
"Buzz—!"
Instantly, a vast and boundless energy ripple, seemingly originating from the beginning of time, burst forth from Tang Chuan's body without warning, gently pushing Di Tian's hand away.
Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Tang Chuan's body slowly levitated, three feet off the ground, quietly floating in mid-air.
And an even more shocking scene followed.
Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Platinum!
Seven soul rings in total.
Like living stars, they spread and spiraled upwards from his body in sequence!
The first six were deep, dazzling crimson, symbolizing the highest dream of a soul master!
Those were six 100,000-year soul rings!
The seventh one, however, defied all logic, displaying a noble, mysterious, and seemingly infinitely profound white-gold color!
It was a supreme spirit ring, surpassing ten thousand years and representing a million-year level!
Six red, one white-gold?!
These seven spirit rings hovered around Tang Chuan, slowly rotating, their radiance illuminating the entire dark cave as if it were daytime.
The invisible pressure emanating from them seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
"!!!"
Seeing this mind-blowing scene, Di Tian's usually calm face revealed extreme shock and disbelief for the first time!
"This is... a million-year spirit ring?"
His golden dragon eyes suddenly contracted, staring intently at the white-gold spirit ring, as if trying to confirm whether he was hallucinating.
Not only Di Tian, but also Bi Ji, the Demon King, the Crimson King behind him, and even Xiong Jun, who had just struggled out of the mountain wall and was covered in wounds, were all instantly filled with horror and bewilderment upon seeing these seven spirit rings!
"What? How is this possible? This kid actually successfully absorbed the Ice Silkworm's spirit ring?"
"And his other spirit rings have also evolved!"
The ferocious beasts exchanged glances, all seeing the same disbelief in each other's eyes. Their lips moved slightly, but they hesitated to speak. It was as if any words were pale and powerless in the face of this terrifying spirit ring configuration.
Although they were all spirit beasts, precisely because of this, they understood better than humans just how heaven-defying the value of six red and one platinum spirit rings truly was!
This was completely beyond the conventional scope of the spirit master cultivation system.
It was a spirit ring configuration that only existed in theory and even legend!
At this moment, Di Tian's heart was filled with turbulent emotions.
The Ice Silkworm's unauthorized sacrifice had indeed angered him somewhat.
After all, it was an important resource that the forest had stored for the ferocious beasts for many years.
But now, looking at the floating youth before him, possessing an unprecedented spirit ring configuration, the anger in Di Tian's heart was instantly replaced by a more turbulent and fervent emotion.
It was a surprise, an anticipation!
He had already seen hope in Tang Chuan, and this miraculous scene before him had undoubtedly ignited that flame of hope into a raging inferno!
In this young man, he truly saw… the hope of becoming a god!
Similarly, Di Tian also saw, through this young man, the hope that one day the Soul Beast race would flourish!
The loss of resources was regrettable, but compared to a future that could lead the Soul Beast race to break free from its shackles, Di Tian clearly understood which was more important.
At this moment, his gaze had become deeper and more resolute than ever before.
"This matter is settled. This young man will be of great use to my Soul Beast race in the future."
Di Tian slowly recovered from his immense shock, his majestic gaze sweeping over the still-shocked beasts beside him, and announced in a deep voice.
"Considering today's sacrifice of the million-year-old Ice Silkworm, and what we have witnessed, let us consider this an investment our soul beast clan has made in advance!"
Upon hearing this, the Crimson King's three heads nodded simultaneously, its voice booming,
"I have no objection."
It remembered clearly that back in the human world, Tang Chuan had often given it various delicious bones to feast on, and the two had a very good relationship.
Seeing Tang Chuan have such an opportunity now, it even felt a sense of pride.
Bi Ji stood beside Di Tian, and upon hearing this, she nodded slightly, her beautiful face filled with complete trust and support. As Di Tian's closest companion, no matter what decision Di Tian made, Bi Ji would unconditionally stand by his side.
As for Xiong Jun... it had just dug itself out of the mountain wall, its fur tattered and covered in wounds, wincing in pain. Feeling Di Tian's majestic gaze sweep over it, its massive body trembled instinctively, and it quickly lowered its huge bear head, daring not to utter the slightest objection.
In his view, he was already being merciful to be alive today, thanks to Di Tian's mercy.
After a moment of silence, the ever-meticulous and thoughtful Demon King couldn't help but speak. A hint of worry crossed its face, which resembled the gnarled roots of an ancient tree.
"Beast God," it said, "we will naturally obey your decision."
"But... this boy is, after all, still a human."
It understood the principle that those not of our kind are bound to have different hearts better than anyone.
Di Tian seemed to have anticipated this question. He calmly explained,
"Although he is human, he also carries the blood of my Soul Beast race, the blood of the 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor. Moreover, his current relationship with the Auspicious Beast..."
He didn't mention the Silver Dragon King or the deeper schemes, only pointing out the key.
Finally, Di Tian gently waved his hand, stopping the Demon King who wanted to ask more questions:
"Alright, I'll explain his background to you in detail later when I have time. Just remember, from now on, if you encounter him in this forest, not only should you not make things difficult for him, but you should also try your best to help him and do him a favor. His growth is related to the future of our race."
Then, Di Tian turned to Xiao Ruier, who was watching Tang Chuan nervously not far away, and his tone softened slightly as he said seriously:
"Ruier, you stay here to take care of him. We'll be leaving now."
After speaking, Di Tian did not linger. His massive body blurred, and he transformed into a deep black light, instantly disappearing from the spot.
Seeing this, the other ferocious beasts also used their own methods, transforming into streams of light of different colors, and quickly left the cave after Di Tian.
...
Meanwhile, at the edge of the border between the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Great Ferocious Land.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo led the elite team of the Spirit Hall, who were cautiously sneaking around.
The deeper they ventured, the older and larger the surrounding trees became, and the heavier the oppressive aura in the air grew, causing even these Soul Saint-level experts to feel a chill run down their spines.
They used special methods to avoid the territories of many powerful soul beasts, but they still couldn't find the exact whereabouts of Di Tian and the Crimson King.
It was as if they had completely merged into this forest, leaving no trace.
However, just as they reached a misty swampy area, believing they were nearing the entrance to the perilous place,
a deafening roar suddenly came from the left, accompanied by earth-shaking footsteps! A giant ape, over a hundred meters tall and as large as a mountain, pounded its chest, revealing its terrifying form from the dense forest, its violent aura like a storm!
It was the 100,000-year-old soul beast, the Titan Giant Ape.
Almost simultaneously…
The swamp ahead churned violently, and a colossal bull's head slowly rose from the water. Its azure scales gleamed metallically in the dim light, and its enormous, lantern-like snake eyes coldly gazed upon the restless forest.
Two hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts stood like gatekeepers, blocking the Spirit Hall's path!
Sensing the undisguised, terrifying aura emanating from the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python—a aura comparable to a human Super Douluo—Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's expressions instantly turned grim.
Their mission was secret reconnaissance, not to engage in battle with such beings.
After all, if they were to fight, the Spirit Hall team could be completely annihilated.
"Retreat!"
Ghost Douluo decisively ordered, his hoarse voice brooking no argument.
Hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression changed slightly. Although unwilling, he knew the situation was hopeless. A golden light flashed in his Qirong Tongtian Chrysanthemum, signaling everyone to retreat.
Almost without hesitation.
The Spirit Hall team retreated swiftly like a receding tide, not daring to linger for a moment.
Only after completely leaving the swamp and no longer feeling the two terrifying pressures did they breathe a sigh of relief, though lingering fear remained on their faces.
"I didn't expect that deep within this Star Dou Great Forest, besides those two targets, there were other 100,000-year-old spirit beasts guarding it!" a cardinal said with lingering fear.
Chrysanthemum Douluo said with a somewhat gloomy expression,
"It seems that infiltrating the core area silently is more difficult than we imagined. With those two beasts guarding it, we simply cannot pass."
Ghost Douluo's blurry figure trembled slightly, and he said in a deep voice,
"Our trip wasn't entirely fruitless."
"At least, we discovered the existence of these two 100,000-year-old spirit beasts. Let's go, immediately return to Spirit City, and report this matter to His Holiness the Pope, so that His Holiness can make a decision."
The group reached a consensus, no longer lingering, and accelerated towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
