Soul Land 3: Legend Of The Jade Emperor - Chapter 110
“Greetings Beast God. We thank you for your ȧssistance.”
Di Tian let out a snort as the words of the Bishops of Nox entered his ears.
With a sweep of his hand, the unconscious body of the Underworld King Douluo Ha Luosa appeared from a distortion of space.
“Spare your thanks. I wouldn’t have helped if my lord hadn’t asked me to do so. Just take him and leave.”
As Di Tian turned around ready to depart from the area, he suddenly paused as he felt something strange from the smiling figures of the three Bishops.
Furrowing his brows, Di Tian turned back to them as his eyes seemed to glow a little. This caused the Bishops of Nox to raise eyebrows at Di Tian’s sudden actions, but they chose not to counterattack.
“What’s wrong Beast G—”
Romario’s voice was cut off as a guttural bellow of anger broke out from the Beast God.
“H-how dare you?!”
A massive surge of pure darkness erupted from Di Tian’s two metre frame. His eyes incandesced yellow as a sword with an black eight feet long blade entered his hands.
Swinging downwards, a colossal arc of Ultimate Darkness distorted space around it as it burst towards the three Bishops.
Seeing this, all three Bishops got serious.
Xiao Chen stepped in front of the other Bishops as multiple grey tentacles jutted out of her back.
Pushing her hands forwards, the tentacles did the same as a massive barrier spun out in front of her.
“Kabbalah Merkava.”
As the sword energy formed from the purest darkness slammed into her barrier, Xiao Chen took half a step back.
Terror formed on her face as she felt the power of Di Tian’s sword. Spinning her hands around, the tentacles on her back moved in a spiral as her four-word battle armour appeared on her body.
Immediately, tens of similar barriers coalesced from the emptiness of space.
They twisted through space as time as they superimposed upon one another. Dense vital energy filling these barriers, they seemed to take on the shape of a lotus as it completely repelled Di Tian’s blow.
During this time, the other two Bishops hadn’t been idle.
Guang Biao had already equipped his four-word battle armour along with dragonifying his body. The reddish-grey scales glimmered slightly despite their colour as a breath of steam leaked out from his nose.
Romario had naturally done the same. With his four-word battle armour that he had designed with the Nox logo in mind, his head was like a skeleton with a large hood on top as a pair of small wings stuck on his back.
The moment that Xiao Chen had nullified the blow, Guang Biao took action.
Appearing in front of Di Tian, an orange ring popped up behind him as he slammed his fist forward.
Fist of the Dragon.
A Five-Clawed Dragon pierced out of the two-hundred-thousand year old ring as it collided with Di Tian’s outstretched hand.
Mobilising a hint of his true power, he pushed back slightly, causing Guang Biao to be sent flying hundreds of metres away.
“Behind you.”
A soft whisper suddenly entered Di Tian’s ears at this moment.
Letting out a roar of anger, Di Tian’s body enlarged a hundred times in an instant as pitch-black scales, glittering with hints of purple formed on his body.
A loud, vengeful roar filled up the area as a discernibly black shockwave was discharged towards them.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen tsked. The grey tentacles behind her pulsed with hints of vital energy as Xiao Chen’s face visibly aged slightly.
Putting her hands out again, an orange ring surrounded her as she shouted, “Kabbalah Hod(Splendour)”
“Withdraw with the light of our God.”
The moment these words were uttered, Guang Biao and Romario felt an illusory tentacle wrap around their waists.
It was only then did they feel an irresistible tug pulling them away.
In less than a thousandth of a second, Romario and Guang Biao were back at Xiao Chen’s side once more.
Di Tian watched all of this with caution in his eyes.
Despite all his anger, with his years of experience, he could retain his sanity. However, he hadn’t retained enough to think about the consequences of his actions later on.
In the end, a beast was a beast after all.
The only one that could be said to be exempt from this would be Gu Yue, but that was because she had been heavily influenced by Huang Yu.
But I digress.
Out of all of these three Bishops, the one that Di Tian found the most dangerous was not Guang Biao, nor Romario.
It was definitely Xiao Chen.
Yes, Guang Biao and Romario had incredible offensive power, but they didn’t have enough defence nor the speed to tussle with him.
If it wasn’t for Xiao Chen’s timely actions, those two would be heavily injured by now.
Guang Biao let out a breath in relief as he stared at the massive figure of the Black Dragon that they had only seen in pictures.
Ha Luosa… he wasn’t even in the same league as Di Tian.
Even if they hadn’t weakened Ha Luosa beforehand, the chances of him winning against Di Tian was very, very low.
Ha Luosa had his secret Nigerundayo techniques of course, but Di Tian had some OP stuff of his own.
Namely, the Dragon King’s Claw.
Stabilising the chaotic situation inside his body at this time, he asked Di Tian with anger in his voice, “Beast God, what do you think you’re doing? Nox has already stopped its actions on the Star Dou Forest.”
Xiao Chen and Romario seemed to think the same way as fury boiled beneath the surface of the calm gaze on their faces.
“Hmph, you’ve done that, but haven’t you humans gone and ransacked our Dragon Graveyard for spirit bones?”
“What?” Guang Biao exclaimed in shock. “Don’t slander us Beast God. We have done no such thing!”
A sneer appeared on Di Tian’s snout as a flap of his wings caused the clothes of the Bishops to flutter.
“Don’t play dumb humans. Your entire body is outfitted with true Dragon Spirit Bones from our honourable Dragon Graveyard! Don’t you feel any shame from robbing graves?”
Romario let out a snort of mockery as his pupiless eyes glowed dimly. “Why don’t you go check your little graveyard before you come here spouting hogwash. Just because we have True Dragon Spirit Bones doesn’t mean it’s from there.”
“You still dare to refute me? Anyone with half a brain could figure that out! The only place in the world where True Dragon Spirit Bones of the quality in your body could only appear in the Dragon Graveyard!” Di Tian gritted out.
At those words, his dragon body seemed to enlarge several times as the coercion from his body sent shivers down the spines of the three Bishops.
Romario’s expression turned grim as he saw this. “Beast God, in this world anything is possible. How are you so sure that we couldn’t have created them ourselves?”
“That’s impossible!” Di Tian refuted immediately.
Romario opened his mouth to attempt and reason with the furious Beast God. However, Xiao Chen cut him to the chase.
Xiao Chen spat out a wad of spittle to the side. “Heh. A mindless lizard like you is just like a frog living in a well. You can’t comprehend the immensities of Heaven and Earth, so you believe that what you see is reality.”
“But you don’t realise that this world is far greater than your narrow minded prejudices. The existence of our King is proof of that. Don’t you know that there’s a man beyond a man, and a heaven beyond a heaven?”
“Fine then! Since you’re so confident that we stole from you, then let it be that way! I’m not scared of you in the slightest!” Xiao Chen shouted out with supreme confidence.
Hearing this, Di Tian let out a laugh. “So you finally admit it. There’s no need for so much gibberish. You should have just admitted it earlier. It would have saved so much time.”
“The human boy with the Sage’s Body has betrayed the trust that our Lord had placed in him. How utterly… expected.”
Xiao Chen sneered as her dense vital energy began to surround her body. Her fists were clenched as a ruthless smile was on her face.
“Heh, you only dare to say that because our King isn’t here. If he was, you’d be like a little dog crawling on the ground.”
The moment these words were uttered, Di Tian suddenly froze.
His amused expression returned into one of abject fury as space and time fractured around him. “Even if your King was hear, I would still dare to say this to him! What coin is that boy worth when our Lord has him wrapped around her finger?!”
“Oh? Then would you like to say that again to my face?”
Di Tian’s entire body froze up at this moment as a gentle voice entered his ears.
Looking at the Bishops, he saw expressions of eternal reverence within the depths of their very soul.
‘No… it can’t be…’
As the Bishops dropped down into a kneel with a smug grin on their faces, Di Tian felt sweat pour down his back as his breath started to become heavy.
Turning around, Di Tian felt as if his head was a hinge that hadn’t been oiled for years. Each movement felt ridiculously slow and took vast amounts of effort to accomplish.
When Di Tian finally looked up into the sky, a brilliant shine filled the world as even he, the user of Ultimate Darkness, an attribute that could swallow up all the light in the universe had to look away.
Forcing his eyelids open slightly, Di Tian saw the figure of a male whose face was covered in the darkest of shadows.
With the sun illuminating his back, the figure looked as if he was a Great Buddha descending upon the world as his arms were outstretched.
The dread that only one person could ever make him feel slammed deep into his very spirit at this moment.
The final nail in the coffin were the hurrahs of the Bishops behind him.
“We offer you our utmost veneration, your Majesty!!”
