Chapter 28: Di Tian Descends, The Ultimate Clash of Light and Darkness
After giving a few simple instructions, Qian Daoliu's immense spiritual power spread out and then moved toward one direction.
Seeing Qian Daoliu leave, Golden Crocodile Douluo also released his spiritual power to search, heading in another direction.
On the other side—
The Three-Eyed Golden Lion was currently hunting a several-thousand-year soul beast, enjoying the thrill of the hunt, while the Scarlet King hid not far from her, watching closely and protecting her at all times.
But before long—
An extremely terrifying light-attributed soul power pressed down on him, making him feel immense pressure. This sensation he had only ever felt from Di Tian.
"Who is it?!"
The Scarlet King's three heads scanned the surroundings, trying to find the figure of that terrifying expert. Above him stood a handsome young man, yet his entire body emitted an aura that made even him feel fear.
This handsome young man was Qian Daoliu. While searching for Yun Yuan, before he could find him, he instead encountered the two soul beasts that had caused trouble for Qian Xunji and Yun Yuan.
Immediately afterward, Qian Daoliu mobilized the soul power within his body. With a light wave of his hand, a golden giant palm appeared above the Scarlet King, descending straight down upon it.
This giant palm carried holiness, light, and flame. As it descended, it faintly stirred the power of heaven and earth around it.
Below, facing this terrifying palm, the Scarlet King nearly fell into despair. How could this human soul master be so powerful?
In the next moment—
The Scarlet King was directly suppressed by Qian Daoliu's angelic giant palm, smashed into the ground, and formed a massive crater.
Not far away, under this mountain-like soul power pressure, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was forced to the ground, unable to move.
Looking at the suppressed Scarlet King and feeling the terrifying pressure on her body, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion felt like crying but had no tears.
Wasn't she the Emperor Destiny Beast? How could her luck be so terrible? She had just come out today and already encountered a light-attributed soul master who wanted to capture her. Fortunately, the Scarlet King had been following her in secret, allowing her to avoid disaster.
But after resolving that trouble, an even more difficult human soul master appeared, suppressing her guardian, Scarlet King, with just a wave of his hand. Now, she truly didn't know what to do.
"Wuwuwu, this auspicious beast just came out to play for a bit. Why are there always strong experts targeting me every day?"
"Di Tian, I won't run around anymore. Hurry and come save me."
Looking at the terrifying handsome young man above, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion cried out inwardly.
The aura emanating from Qian Daoliu, along with the strength he displayed in suppressing the Scarlet King with a mere gesture, made her believe that only Di Tian could deal with this human expert.
Not far away, when the Scarlet King saw that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had also been suppressed, panic instantly rose in his heart.
He feared that this terrifying human soul master might accidentally kill the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. If that happened, he would be utterly beyond redemption.
"Human expert, do not harm the auspicious beast. Whatever you want, our Star Dou Great Forest can provide."
"Moreover, if the auspicious beast dies, it will be a disaster for your human world. It will definitely trigger a beast tide from the Star Dou Great Forest."
"At that time, the hidden soul beast experts will all emerge, including many as powerful as you."
"When that happens, it will be a tremendous loss for both humans and soul beasts. Please do not harm the auspicious beast!"
Looking at Qian Daoliu above, the Scarlet King explained the importance of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. If she died, it would truly be a great catastrophe.
Hearing the Scarlet King's words, Qian Daoliu fell silent, deep in thought.
He had not expected this golden soul beast to be so important, nor had he expected the Star Dou Great Forest to hide such formidable forces, even possessing soul beasts that could rival him. It truly could not be underestimated.
After thinking for a moment, Qian Daoliu looked toward the Scarlet King and slowly asked:
"Today, you attacked a young man and a boy. I ask you now, is that boy still alive?"
As he spoke, killing intent gradually filled Qian Daoliu's eyes. If the Scarlet King said Yun Yuan had already fallen, he would not hesitate to kill it on the spot.
As for the golden soul beast, even if he did not kill it, he would make it pay a heavy price.
Hearing this, the Scarlet King was still thinking when the Three-Eyed Golden Lion answered first:
"The boy you're talking about should still be alive. He just escaped from me not long ago. Such a cunning human; I think he's still alive."
Seeing that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion could also speak human language, Qian Daoliu felt slightly shocked. If he was not mistaken, this golden soul beast was only a few thousand years old.
Normally, even ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beasts could not speak human language. Only those beyond that level could do so.
Yet now, a soul beast of only a few thousand years could achieve this. Clearly, this golden soul beast was truly extraordinary.
However, now that he knew Yun Yuan was most likely still alive, the heavy burden in Qian Daoliu's heart was finally lifted halfway.
Now, the most important thing was how to find Yun Yuan, the future of Spirit Hall.
Qian Daoliu looked at the Scarlet King, his gaze cold and his tone solemn.
"Since my grand-disciple is most likely still alive, I want you to mobilize the power of your Star Dou Great Forest to help me find him."
As his words fell, Qian Daoliu waved his hand again. A barrier formed from light-attributed soul power instantly enveloped the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and floated her to his side.
"The auspicious beast you spoke of is in my hands. Help me find my grand-disciple, and I will return your auspicious beast to you."
"Otherwise, you and this golden auspicious beast will both have to pay a heavy price!"
After that, Qian Daoliu dispersed the golden giant palm, suppressing the Scarlet King, allowing him to mobilize the forces of the Star Dou Great Forest to search for Yun Yuan.
Freed from suppression, the Scarlet King looked at the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was enveloped in the soul power barrier beside Qian Daoliu. His gaze became firm as he made a promise:
"Alright. I will help you find that human boy. Before that, please do not harm the auspicious beast."
In the next moment, he turned and left, intending to return to the depths of the Lake of Life to inform the other fierce beasts.
Afterward, Qian Daoliu took the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and continued searching within the Star Dou Great Forest.
Not long after—
Above Qian Daoliu's location, darkness covered the sky. Endless dark power surged, and an extremely powerful fluctuation of soul power rapidly approached him.
Sensing the phenomenon above, Qian Daoliu frowned slightly. Immediately afterward, the light-attributed soul power within his body burst forth like surging waves.
Light and dark soul power collided in midair, directly turning the entire forest into a world of black and white.
Then, above Qian Daoliu, a black dragon hundreds of meters long appeared. Its body radiated dense dark power, and its dragon's might forced all soul beasts within ten thousand meters to prostrate themselves.
"Human, hand over the auspicious beast."
A low, deep, and authoritative voice rang out, like the tolling of an ancient divine bell, its tone filled with dominance.
