Chapter 460: Di Tian's Fall, the Soul Hidden Within the Spirit Ring!
"It's over."
Following Yu Tianlin's soft words, the ancient eight colored dragon horn pierced through the void, seemingly meeting no resistance as it stabbed directly into Di Tian's skull. Then, it followed his torso all the way to his tail, piercing straight through him.
After this strike, the murderous glint in Di Tian's eyes quickly faded.
His massive dragon body stiffened, then fell powerlessly from the sky.
Boom!
With a loud crash, Di Tian's body crushed an unknown number of giant trees, kicking up dust and smoke everywhere.
Seeing this scene, Yu Tianlin let out a breath, controlled the eight colored dragon horn to return to his side, and slowly descended from the air.
It was at this moment that a powerful wave of Spirit Power erupted from where Di Tian had fallen. A Spirit Ring rose from Di Tian's dragon body, dispersing all the surrounding dust and smoke.
At first glance, this Spirit Ring seemed to be pure gold, but upon closer inspection, one could notice subtle traces of blood-red color within the radiant golden light.
It could only be said that Di Tian lived up to his name.
The Spirit Rings of other Vicious Beasts had a few golden streaks mixed into the blood-red. Di Tian's Spirit Ring, however, had so many golden streaks that they completely overshadowed the original blood-red color.
Looking at the rising golden Spirit Ring, Yu Tianlin felt immensely relieved.
After working hard for so long, even involving several Divine Rank existences, the goal of his trip had finally been achieved.
Arriving beside Di Tian's corpse, Yu Tianlin waited briefly before his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, rushed over.
As soon as he arrived, Yu Yuanzhen could not help asking, "Tianlin, was that... a Deity just now?!"
"That's right." Yu Tianlin nodded. "The Di Tian I was dealing with this time had the Silver Dragon King, a Divine Rank existence, backing him. It was truly too dangerous, which is why I warned Grandpa earlier to retreat immediately if things looked bad."
"However, although the Silver Dragon King is powerful, she is a fugitive of the God Realm."
"And I possess the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, which contains a portion of the Sea God's power. When the Silver Dragon King appeared, the Sea God's power naturally emerged and restrained her."
"The Silver Dragon King feared the descent of a Deity from the God Realm, so she retreated."
Yu Tianlin briefly explained the situation that had just occurred to Yu Yuanzhen, while also clarifying the origin of the eight colored dragon horn in his hand.
"The Dragon Slaying Saber and the Thunder God's Hammer merged to become this eight colored dragon horn?" Yu Yuanzhen asked in surprise. "I didn't expect such a coincidence."
Yu Yuanzhen did not react strongly to the loss of the Dragon Slaying Saber.
In his view, the final outcome only needed to benefit Yu Tianlin. As long as Yu Tianlin grew stronger and could eventually become a Deity, nothing else mattered.
"Let's not talk about that anymore."
After explaining the general situation, Yu Tianlin turned his head to look at the golden Spirit Ring above Di Tian's dragon body and said, "Grandpa, I am going to absorb the Spirit Ring now. Please protect me."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded and said seriously, "Don't worry. With me here, unless a Deity descends, no one will disturb you. However, Tianlin, you must be careful. The energy contained within this Spirit Ring is extremely vast, and it might not be easy to absorb."
Yu Tianlin certainly knew that Di Tian's Spirit Ring would be difficult to absorb.
The moment his mental force landed on the Spirit Ring, he could feel an intensely strong rejection. Clearly, this was Di Tian's resentment.
His strength had clearly not been inferior to Yu Tianlin's. Perhaps it had even been slightly greater.
Yet he had made one mistake during the critical struggle for the eight colored dragon horn, leading to his eventual demise. How could Di Tian be reconciled to this?
Not to mention that before his fall, his master, the Silver Dragon King, was being pursued by the God of Destruction, her fate unknown.
All these factors combined meant Di Tian's resentment could pierce the heavens.
Regardless of how troublesome it was, Di Tian's Spirit Ring still had to be absorbed.
After all, this was the purpose of Yu Tianlin's journey.
Immediately, Yu Tianlin sat down cross-legged without hesitation, using his mental force to guide and begin absorbing Di Tian's eight hundred thousand year Golden Eyed Black Dragon King Spirit Ring.
As the energy contained within the Spirit Ring surged into his body, an extremely unwilling consciousness instantly rushed into Yu Tianlin's sea of mental force.
Above the sea of mental force, an immensely huge illusory black dragon suddenly appeared, roaring maniacally.
"Thunder God Successor! I knew you would absorb my Spirit Ring!"
"Did you think I was dead? Naive! With my cultivation, I was fully capable of integrating my entire soul into the Spirit Ring! Now, pay the price for what you have done!"
After speaking, this enormous illusory black dragon began stirring up a frenzy within Yu Tianlin's sea of mental force.
Yu Tianlin was not surprised by the changes in his sea of mental force. His calm voice rang out there.
"Di Tian, you no longer have a physical body. What can you do now with only your soul remaining? Are you planning possession?"
In the original timeline, when Tang San absorbed the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's Spirit Ring, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King had prepared for possession.
When Huo Yuhao absorbed the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator's Spirit Ring, the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator had also prepared for possession.
Therefore, Di Tian causing trouble now that Yu Tianlin was absorbing his Spirit Ring was completely within his expectations, and Yu Tianlin did not panic.
"Possession?"
The enormous illusory black dragon gave a cold laugh.
"I have no such intention. I just want to destroy this place and drag you down with me!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator had wanted to possess Tang San and Huo Yuhao, replacing them as God Inheritors. That was utterly fanciful.
How could the God Realm possibly allow such a thing?
Ultimately, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King and the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator had spent their entire lives only on Douluo Star. They were inexperienced and did not truly understand the power of the God Realm, which was why they harbored such fanciful ideas.
But Di Tian was different.
He understood the God Realm too well and knew that even if he managed to possess Yu Tianlin, it would be meaningless. He would still be eliminated by the God Realm.
Therefore, he now only wanted to use his remaining soul to destroy Yu Tianlin's sea of mental force and perish together with him.
"Perish together with me? You are quite resolute."
Yu Tianlin's voice remained calm.
"But did you think I had not anticipated this situation?"
"The newly formed eight colored dragon horn is a Super Divine Artifact. If I had wished, when the eight colored dragon horn pierced your body, your soul would have been extinguished along with it. I simply chose not to do so."
As soon as Yu Tianlin spoke, Di Tian's frantic movements immediately ceased, and a measure of rationality returned to his previously crazed eyes.
In reality, the true situation was not exactly as Yu Tianlin described.
The reason he controlled the eight colored dragon horn and did not extinguish Di Tian's soul was fundamentally for the sake of the Spirit Ring.
If he had not done so, Di Tian's Spirit Ring might have been destroyed along with his soul.
If that had happened, this entire trip would have been a wasted effort.
