Chapter 41 The Reforging of the Heavenly Emperor! The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King? No, I am the Void Dragon Guard!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
In the depths of the Void Thunder Pool, in the Battle Through the Heavens world, lies East Dragon Island.
This is a forbidden area of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, a destructive domain interwoven with countless thunderbolts and void storms.
Even a Dou Zun expert could be blasted into nothingness by the silver lightning here if they are not careful.
However, beside a black altar at the edge of the Thunder Pool, the once mighty Beast God Di Tian was kneeling naked.
His once strong, towering body was now trembling violently.
Not out of fear, but out of excitement!
Before him floated a pool of deep purple water.
The pool was small, only ten meters in diameter, but every drop of water seemed to contain a roaring miniature dragon, radiating a terrifying pressure that could shatter the space itself.
This is the Dragon Transformation Pool used by the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan to cleanse newborn cubs of fetal toxins and strengthen their bodies.
Although it's just a diluted version, it's enough for Di Tian's use.
"Hey, you little black lizard."
At this moment, an ancient dragon guard responsible for watching over the Dragon Transformation Pool held a toothpick made of some kind of divine beast bone, picking his teeth while casually glancing at Di Tian:
"You're lucky. The Supreme Elder saw that you licked that plate clean just now, so he specially ordered you to go in and soak in it."
"Although this is just waste water from a discarded pool used for newly hatched, defective cubs in the clan, it is a destiny-altering blessing for a low-dimensional creature like you."
"Remember, once you're inside, hold on for as long as you can."
"If you can't hold on and die, just let you rot in there and become nourishment. Don't expect me to come and get you."
"Yes! Yes! Thank you, sir! Thank you, Grand Elder!"
Di Tian kowtowed repeatedly, his eyes blazing with fanaticism.
Waste pool water?
For defective baby animals?
Looking at the pool of purple liquid, feeling the vast and boundless dragon energy within, which was ten thousand times purer than that of the Dragon God back then, Di Tian felt an urge to laugh.
"Even if the Dragon God were to be resurrected, he would probably jump into this pool of water without hesitation, wouldn't he?"
"What Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, what Beast God? Before this pool of water, I was nothing but a mudfish!"
"Thump!"
Without further hesitation, Di Tian leaped into the boiling purple pool!
"Roar!!"
As soon as he entered the water, a shrill dragon roar echoed across the edge of the Thunder Pool!
Pain!
It hurts so much!
The purple pool water seemed to have its own consciousness, instantly flowing through Di Tian's pores and seven orifices, and frantically drilling into his body!
That's not just the infusion of energy, but a violent alteration and cleansing at the genetic level!
Click! Click! Click!
Soon, Di Tian was horrified to see that his proud, ultimate dark-attribute dragon scales began to crack inch by inch the moment they came into contact with the pool water, just like a crisp biscuit!
Large swaths of black scales mixed with flesh and blood fell into the pool and were instantly decomposed into nothingness.
"No, my scales, my defenses..."
Di Tian instinctively tried to struggle, but the next second, an even more terrifying life force erupted from the depths of his bone marrow!
Sizzle!
Where the old scales have fallen off, a new layer of fine scales with a faint purplish-gold luster begins to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye!
These newly grown scales are no longer simply black, but instead display a deep purplish-gold color!
Each scale is naturally imprinted with distorted void runes, as if it were born with the ability to control space!
"Aaaaaaah!!"
Di Tian rolled around in the pool, his body undergoing a tremendous transformation.
Skeletal remodeling!
The originally bulky and massive Western-style dragon skeleton began to become slender and agile under the pressure of the pool water, evolving into the form of an Eastern dragon!
Dragon horns regenerate!
The pair of rough black dragon horns on his head broke off and were replaced by a pair of crystal clear, seemingly carved from amethyst horns!
Around the dragon's horns, tiny spatial cracks constantly appeared and disappeared!
Bloodline purification!
Most importantly, it's his bloodline!
The originally mottled golden-eyed black dragon bloodline belonging to the Douluo Continent is being forcibly devoured and assimilated by this domineering ancient dragon aura!
The feeling was as if his blood had been drained and replaced with divine blood!
"Roar!!"
As time went by, Di Tian's screams gradually turned into a roar full of majesty and power.
Nine hundred and ninety thousand years...
One million years!
One million and one hundred thousand years!
1.5 million years!
Subsequently, his aura broke through the limits of all soul beasts on the Douluo Continent with unstoppable momentum!
What Deep Sea Demon Whale King?
What Dragon God?
They are no match for the current Di Tian!
Rumble!!
Three hours later, the water in the Dragon Transformation Pool turned dull and lifeless, as all the essence had been absorbed by Di Tian.
With a whoosh, a tall and agile figure, radiating a purple-gold divine light, burst out of the water and hovered in the void!
At this moment, Di Tian had completely changed.
In his human form, he grew to three meters tall, and his long hair turned purple-gold, dancing wildly in the wind.
The original black armor disappeared, replaced by a Void Dragon Armor made from his own scales!
His eyes were no longer golden, but two deep purple vortexes.
Just a glance is enough to draw a person's soul into the endless void and banish it!
He raised his hand and gently shook it.
Click!
The space in his palm was crushed into dust!
Is this power?
Di Tian felt the surging power within his body, and the exhilarating feeling of controlling space and regarding heaven and earth as nothing made him want to roar to the sky.
According to the classification of this world, his current strength has reached the level of a five-star Dou Zong!
Although still at the bottom of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, in the Douluo Continent...
"I can beat ten thousand of my former self now."
"Dragon God? Heh..."
Di Tian's lips curled into a disdainful sneer.
Although he currently possesses only a trace of the ancient dragon bloodline, even this trace far surpasses the so-called Dragon God bloodline in terms of level!
That's a difference in dimensions!
"Hey, not bad."
Just then, the ancient dragon guard watching over the Dragon Transformation Pool glanced at Di Tian, who was floating in the air, with some surprise:
"He's still alive? And he's even evolved Void Dragon Scales?"
"Looks like you little lizard have a pretty strong will to survive."
Upon hearing the guard's voice, Di Tian, who had just felt invincible, instantly concealed all his aura.
Whoosh!
He flashed to the ground, instantly kneeling down on one knee without hesitation, and flashed the most ingratiating smile at the guard who was only at the peak of the Dou Zong realm:
"Thank you for your guidance, sir!"
"Without your guidance, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today!"
"I feel full of power right now, and I wish I could go through fire and water for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"
The guard nodded in satisfaction and casually tossed Di Tian a black iron token.
"Alright, stop flattering me."
"Now that you have successfully evolved, you can be considered to have barely escaped the category of lizards and can be regarded as a reserve member of our clan's dragon guards."
"Take this token. From now on, you will be a member of the East Dragon Island patrol team."
"The main task is to clean up the trash around the Void Thunder Pool and feed the elders' mounts as well."
Patrol? Feed them?
If it were in the past, who would dare to let the Beast God Di Tian do this? He would definitely launch a beast tide to wipe them out.
But now...
Di Tian accepted the black iron token with both hands as if it were a priceless treasure, his whole body trembling with excitement:
"Yes!! Mission accomplished!!"
"I will definitely feed the elders' mounts until they are plump and healthy!"
"I am the most loyal watchdog of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!"
Di Tian stood up, carefully hung the token on his waist, and walked proudly to his post.
His silhouette was no longer dejected or lost; instead, it was filled with an unprecedented sense of glory.
In his opinion, being a watchdog for the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan is a million times better than being a Beast God in the Douluo Continent!
Because the dogs here can actually eat dragon meat, drink divine blood, and cultivate divine skills!
"Lord Gu Yuena..."
As Di Tian patrolled, he silently chanted in his heart:
"If you see this, please don't blame me for being spineless."
"Once I've made a name for myself here and become a full-fledged Dragon Guard, I can just steal some leftover feed from the elders' mounts and take it back with me..."
"With our Star Dou Great Forest, we can unify the God Realm!"
Thinking of this, Di Tian touched his newly grown Void Dragon Horns, a happy and hopeful silly smile appearing on his face.
This is hardly exile.
This is clearly studying abroad for further education!
...
Meanwhile, in the Douluo Continent.
Star Dou Great Forest, Lake of Life.
The Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena stood by the lake, her once wise and majestic purple eyes now seemingly unfocused, staring blankly at the unfamiliar man in the light screen, clad in purple-gold void dragon armor, casually crushing space with his hand.
That is Di Tian.
That was the Black Dragon Guard captain who had followed her for hundreds of thousands of years and obeyed her every command.
But the aura emanating from him at this moment, even through the light barrier, caused the Silver Dragon King bloodline within Gu Yuena to let out mournful cries!
That is the instinctive fear and submission of the inferior to the superior!
"Is that the power of the void...?"
Gu Yuena's voice trembled, and two lines of clear tears slid down her exquisite face:
"Every scale on his body contains spatial laws that are even more profound than those of the Dragon God."
"His horn, could it be the legendary horn of the ancestral dragon that can pierce the sky?"
"And all of this was achieved by soaking in that abandoned pool of water for three hours."
"He has surpassed the Dragon God?"
"It surpasses the pursuit of our soul beast race for hundreds of millions of years?"
"Thump!"
The next second, Gu Yuena's knees buckled, and she collapsed weakly onto the grass.
Her mission has always been to resurrect the Dragon God and lead the soul beast race in a counterattack against the God Realm.
Therefore, she endured, she planned, and she walked on thin ice.
But now, reality has given her a resounding slap in the face.
"I am still working hard to revive the Dragon God..."
"But Di Tian only went to that world to work as a doorman and took a bath in an abandoned bathhouse."
"He's even stronger than the Dragon God?"
"Then what about all my years of perseverance?"
"In the eyes of that Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, is the blood and tears of our soul beast race just like a bunch of ants arguing about who can carry the bigger grain of rice?"
"Aaaaaaah!!"
Gu Yuena clutched her clothes tightly at her chest and let out a desperate scream.
The pain was unbearable.
Meanwhile, the ferocious beasts beside the Lake of Life reacted even more poorly.
Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Bear Lord.
He was usually the most defiant towards Di Tian and always dreamed of one day challenging the status of the Beast God.
At this moment, looking at the purple-haired man in the light screen whose gaze could tear through the void, he was so scared that he wet himself.
He really peed.
A foul stench spread along the lake, but he didn't care at all.
"Is this... is this still the black dragon?"
Bear Lord lay on the ground, his huge body trembling like a sieve:
"That aura... I felt like I'd be gone if he just blew on me..."
"I actually wanted to challenge him before?"
"Do I have a death wish?!"
The three heads of the Red King standing nearby simultaneously drooled with envy, their mouths watering all over the ground.
"That's abandoned pond water! It's abandoned pond water!"
"After washing, it can evolve and become this handsome..."
"I want to go too!"
"I also want to feed that elder's mount!"
"I'm a dog, I'm a dog! I'm the perfect person to feed them!!"
The Red King frantically scratched at the soil on the ground, wishing he could dig a hole and crawl into the Battle Through the Heavens world.
The Demon King, meanwhile, stared at the black iron token at Di Tian's waist, his eyes flashing with an almost morbid longing:
"Reserve Dragon Guard".
"To possess such power is merely the capacity of a reserve gatekeeper."
"If you perform well there and get promoted, wouldn't you be able to rule the universe?"
"Boss Di Tian, you absolutely have to make something of yourself!"
"When you become successful, don't forget to bring back some of that abandoned pool water. We'll drink even if it's just for washing our feet!"
At this moment, the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest no longer held the so-called majesty of the Beast God in their hearts.
They shared only one dream: to become dogs of the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan!
...
Douluo Continent, the Deep Sea Demon Whale Sea.
"Roar!"
The sea roared, and the waves surged to the sky!
The massive, island-like body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King is frantically crashing against the underwater mountains, triggering a terrifying tsunami.
Envy!
At this moment, the ocean overlord's heart was filled with nothing but jealousy that wanted to burn him to ashes!
"Why?!"
"Why should he?!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's single eye was bloodshot, and its voice boomed across the seabed:
"I have cultivated for 990,000 years!"
"It devoured countless lives!"
"Only one step away from transforming into a dragon!!"
"But that step is like an insurmountable chasm; no matter how hard I try, I can't cross it!!"
"And what gives him, Di Tian, the right to do so?"
"He just licked a plate, he just took a bath!"
"He transformed into a dragon?"
"And it's a terrifying ancient void dragon!"
The Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked at his own bloated fat body, and then at Di Tian's slender, agile, and beautiful purple-gold dragon body.
He felt that all his millions of years of cultivation had been wasted on a dog!
"It's unfair! Heaven is unjust!"
"If I were the one carrying the dishes, if I were the one feeding the mount..."
"I can transform into a dragon too!"
"I can become a god too!!"
"I don't want these million years of cultivation!"
"I don't want this empty title of ocean overlord anymore!!"
"Lord of the Heavenly Palace, please look at me!"
"I'm muscular, I can work! I can even spray water and put on a show!"
