Emperor Tian, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, has lived for countless years and seen all sorts of storms.
In the past, I fought alongside the Dragon God in battles across all realms, witnessing the bloodshed of gods and the fall of stars.
But now...
Di Tian's enormous golden dragon eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Wu and the trident in her hand, his dragon brain a complete mess.
He knew better than anyone the current restrictions placed on soul beasts in the God Realm.
Even with 100,000 years of cultivation, choosing to transform into human form doesn't change the fact that one is still essentially a soul beast; the soul imprint cannot be altered.
To inherit a divine position, especially the position of a first-level god like the sea god, is simply a pipe dream.
The rules committee of the divine realm would never pass down a legacy in this way.
Could it be that old sea god got tired of staying in the divine realm and wanted to find some excitement, so he openly defied the rules of the divine realm?
The thought flashed through his mind, but Di Tian rejected it immediately.
impossible.
He looked at Xiao Wu. Although the girl held a divine weapon, the clarity between her brows was undeniable.
The aura of the sea god emanating from her was pure, vast, and without any impurities, clearly indicating that she had received the most complete recognition from the source of the sea god.
This shows that the trident of Poseidon and the divine position of Poseidon willingly chose this rabbit.
"..."
Di Tian fell silent, a feeling of unprecedented frustration welling up inside him.
He had just made a strong statement, and now he was backing down? Where would that leave the face of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King?
The atmosphere in the valley suddenly became strange.
Just as Di Tian was caught in a dilemma, Ning Liudong appeared.
He gently pulled Xiao Wu behind him, then took a step forward and hovered in front of the giant dragon head.
"Senior Di Tian".
Ning Liu's clear and calm voice broke the awkward silence.
He opened his palm, and in the center lay a crystal-clear reverse scale.
As soon as that reverse scale appeared, an aura that originated from the same source as Di Tian, yet carried a hint of the sedimentation of time, spread out.
Di Tian's golden dragon eyes froze instantly.
He stared intently at the scale in Ning Liu's palm, his massive dragon body stiffening for a moment.
This is……
My Achilles' heel?
Are you kidding me!
A feeling of utter absurdity rose in Di Tian's heart once again.
The reverse scale is a combination of the dragon's essence and soul, and is the most important part of his body. It has never left his body, so how could it be in the hands of a human?
He subconsciously wanted to sense the existence of his Achilles' heel.
This realization completely baffled Di Tian.
His huge, ferocious dragon head twisted at an extremely awkward angle towards the area below his neck, trying to get a closer look at that spot.
Empty!
The spot where the most brilliant, core scale should have been is now bare, covered only by a newly grown, slightly lighter-colored, ordinary scale.
My Achilles' heel... is really gone?!
A chill ran from the tip of Di Tian's tail straight up to the top of his head.
He's lived so many years, he's lost face and been injured, but he's never lost such an important part!
When was it lost?
He had absolutely no recollection of it!
Di Tian suddenly raised his head, and his golden dragon eyes, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, were now filled with three large characters:
Who am I? Where am I? What happened?
"How did this end up in your hands?!"
His voice was no longer filled with anger and authority, but with urgency and a kind of panic that he himself was unaware of.
"That's a question you'll have to ask yourself, senior."
Ning Liu remained expressionless and retracted the Reverse Scale into his soul tool.
His move made Di Tian's heart clench even tighter.
That's my Achilles' heel! You just casually put it away like that? What if it gets bumped or scratched?!
Seeing Di Tian's frustrated expression—wanting to lash out but not daring to, wanting to ask but too ashamed to—Ning Liu chuckled inwardly.
He knew the time was right.
He stopped being mysterious and his tone became serious.
"Di Tian, I have no hostility towards soul beasts."
These words were like a gentle breeze, dispelling the lingering tension in the valley.
Da Ming, sitting in the pool, quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Wu also looked at Ning Liu curiously, wondering what he was up to.
Di Tian's golden dragon eyes flickered uncertainly. He forcefully suppressed the myriad questions in his mind about the Reverse Scale and said in a deep voice:
What exactly do you want to do?
He no longer regarded Ning Liu as an ordinary human soul master.
Someone who can silently take away his Achilles' heel, and is accompanied by the successor of the Sea God, must have a very important purpose.
Ning Liu met his gaze and calmly dropped a real thunderbolt.
"I came here simply to find out some things. I want to know if there is a Silver Dragon King still sleeping in this Star Dou Great Forest?"
boom--!
If the Nine Nether Dragon Wings and the Trident of the Sea God had previously shocked Di Tian...
The words "Silver Dragon King" struck his dragon soul like a bolt of divine lightning!
Di Tian's enormous dragon body trembled violently, visible to the naked eye.
His golden dragon eyes shrank to their limit in an instant, and what shot out from them was no longer majesty or anger, but a kind of horror and terror from the deepest part of his soul.
The existence of the Lord is the highest level of secret on this continent, and even in the entire divine realm!
It was these surviving dragons who risked their lives to protect the last hope of all time!
This secret is something that could never be known to anyone outside of these few individuals!
But now, this secret has been revealed so casually by a human being.
"Who...who are you?!"
For the first time, Di Tian's voice trembled with an undeniable intensity.
The way he looked at Ning Liu had completely changed.
It was no longer the strong looking down on the weak, but rather the instinctive vigilance and fear when facing an unfathomable unknown entity.
