Douluo Continent: The Holy Evil Emperor

Lao Ye smiled, for life and death are unpredictable.

“You know what, Brigitte, we really need your help to find it this time, and I’m sure you know exactly where it is,” Ye Qing said meaningfully.

"Hmm? Me?" Brigitte blinked, waiting for Ye Qing to continue. "Then tell me. If I still remember that soul beast, I'll take you to find it."

After pondering for a while, Ye Qing decided to call Di Tian over as well. He really wanted to keep the Life Gold for himself, but it would be more appropriate to return it to the Star Dou Great Forest so that it could make its own decisions.

Di Tian has already said that whenever he comes to the Star Dou Great Forest, he can persuade other soul beasts to sacrifice themselves for him without any limit on the number of sacrifices.

Given all this, it's rather tasteless of them to still resort to such underhanded tactics.

He wanted the golden tortoiseshell's soul ring and soul bone, but as for that piece of living gold...

He probably doesn't want it anymore.

"Call Di Tian over first," Ye Qing said.

Biji didn't ask any more questions. Using the unique communication method among ferocious beasts, she sent a private message to Di Tian. Soon after, Di Tian's tall figure walked out of the space.

"What is it?" Di Tian remained calm, but that calmness probably wouldn't last more than three seconds.

Sure enough, after Ye Qing's words, Di Tian's composure immediately crumbled.

"You once captured an Ice Silkworm and imprisoned it in the Lake of Life, consuming its nutrients. During this process, some 100,000-year-old soul beasts could also come and suck a few sips of its essence." When in doubt, the "defiant" buff activates!

"From what I saw, there was a 100,000-year-old golden hawksbill turtle hiding underground, quietly absorbing some of the Ice Silkworm's power. But it was greedy; after absorbing the Ice Silkworm's power, it also followed the source of the life force emanating from the Lake of Life..."

Di Tian's expression suddenly changed, turning gloomy in an instant, and he exuded a suffocating aura.

"Continue." Di Tian clenched his hands behind his back, and a phantom image of a dragon claw appeared on his fists.

Good heavens, even the Dragon God's Claw has emerged from the clam.

"Do I need to say anything more? Beast God, don't you already know what happened? A portion of the Gold of Life has been stolen, and you still haven't been able to find out which soul beast stole it." Ye Qing smiled slightly.

"That golden hawksbill turtle was born with an auspicious aura and was proficient in both water and earth elements. The moment it bit off a piece of living gold, it used its innate ability to burrow deep underground and used its auspicious aura to block your detection, before finally escaping."

"It's a pity that it was too foolish. The power of the Life Gold is not something that every creature is qualified to enjoy. It just swallowed it in the most brutal way. As a result, the Life Gold it swallowed began to endlessly drain its life force. The golden tortoise was even treated by Brigitte because of this. However, because of the large amount of life force drained by the Life Gold, it appeared to be just a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast and was on the verge of death."

LOL. If the Gold of Life were really that easy to obtain, Ye Qing wouldn't have had to guard it, extracting it bit by bit, and waiting for years before Electrolux helped him fuse it.

"So that's it! I remember it. The hawksbill turtle clan is known for its longevity. It's the only golden hawksbill turtle that showed signs of decline after ten thousand years. So it's because it devoured the gold of living beings!" Brigitte immediately remembered and said with a sudden realization.

Ye Qing smiled and nodded at Bi Ji, then looked at Di Tian: "The life-gathering metal it devoured is now in the Star Dou Great Forest, so it should naturally be returned to its rightful owner. However, I hope that its soul rings and soul bones can be given to me for distribution."

"Okay." Di Tian nodded expressionlessly.

The theft of the Gold of Life can be said to be the greatest humiliation for Di Tian, ​​apart from the time he was injured by the Evil Emperor.

Under the very nose of this Beast God, the Gold of Life was stolen, and the worst part was that he couldn't find out who the culprit was. Because of this, Gu Yuena even lost her temper once. If Gu Yuena had used all of that Gold of Life, it would have reduced her recovery time by at least several thousand years.

However, considering that the Life Gold is the source of the Star Dou Great Forest and the Lake of Life, it should not be touched rashly. Therefore, we only slowly extract the life force that it has dissipated.

Now that he has found that damned thief, Di Tian only wants to tear that golden tortoise shell apart alive. As for what to do with its soul ring and soul bone, Di Tian doesn't care.

If it were a normal 100,000-year-old soul beast, Di Tian would never agree to this. However, the Golden Tortoiseshell was not among them, and Di Tian, ​​as the Beast God, unilaterally expelled it from the beast register.

"Let's go then. We'll have to trouble Brigitte to lead us to it!" Ye Qing grinned.

“No problem.” Biji nodded, then looked at Di Tian and sent him a coordinate.

The latter only sensed it slightly before reaching out and gently tearing open a large gap in the space in front of the three of them.

"Let's go." Di Tian stepped in first, but the killing intent emanating from him grew even stronger.

To be honest, the sense of oppression was much stronger than that of Mu En. Ye Qing compared the peak aura that Mu En instantly unleashed after being healed by him with Di Tian's aura, and found that there was no comparison at all.

If Mu En's aura was a towering mountain that Ye Qing could look up to, then Di Tian's aura was an unfathomable trench.

After entering the space, Ye Qing experienced the feeling of being grabbed by Di Tian's claw and thrown into the Lake of Life once again. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in another place.

Holy light travels quickly, but compared to spatial jumps and shrinking the earth to an inch, it is still somewhat inadequate. Di Tian's terrifying control over spatial attributes made Ye Qing start to feel anxious.

He also has spatial attributes!

Territory of the hawksbill turtle clan.

Emperor Tian's aura descended instantly, enveloping the entire area, sealing off all space, and simultaneously locking down all the hawksbill turtles that were over ten thousand years old with his mental power.

He had no time to examine each one individually. Instead, he displayed his power in the simplest way possible, leaving all the hawksbill turtles with no way to escape!

Trying to burrow underground to escape?

Break my spatial blockade first before you speak!

In the corner, a sickly-looking golden hawksbill turtle had a blank mind.

Turtle, I want spicy meatballs!

Chapter 221 What's owed must always be repaid.

Of course, only this one knew why Di Tian had come; the other hawksbill turtles were still clueless.

The current patriarch of the hawksbill turtle clan, a ferocious beast-level hawksbill turtle that is over 200,000 years old, transformed into a hunchbacked old man with a thick tortoise shell on his back, and bowed deeply to Emperor Tian in the sky with a respectful and cautious expression.

"The Beast God has descended upon the Hawksbill Clan. Is it because he needs our service?" the Hawksbill Clan Chief asked cautiously.

Although Di Tian came with great force, the hawksbill clan chief was not afraid at all. The hawksbill clan is basically a sea turtle (wait, why are there sea turtles in the forest?), and they are characterized by their peaceful nature and their food source is something that other soul beasts would consider abstract and heaven-defying.

For example, various stones, minerals, and sand...

This resulted in the hawksbill turtle clan having few enemies and not offending other soul beasts.

Furthermore, Di Tian is not tyrannical and would not arbitrarily slaughter soul beasts, so it is impossible for this to affect the entire hawksbill turtle clan.

Since we know we'll be fine, what's there to be afraid of?

But this time it really misunderstood; Di Tian really came to take the tortoise's life.

Although it's not its.

"You... never mind, why should I waste my breath on you?" Di Tian, ​​who had been holding back his anger for a long time, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the trembling golden tortoise shell from the corner with a giant dragon claw formed from dark soul power.

Di Tian originally wanted to explain.

But then I thought, what is my status and what is your position? Do you even deserve my explanation, the Beast God Emperor?

Looking into the terrified eyes of the golden tortoiseshell, Di Tian spoke in a chilling tone: "Do you know why I've come looking for you?"

On the other side, the hawksbill turtle chieftain hesitated to speak, but ultimately remained silent. That brat had clearly committed a crime, and Di Tian had personally come to arrest him; how could he dare to say anything?

Besides avoiding conflicts with other spirit beasts over food, the hawksbill turtle also has excellent eyesight. As the saying goes, if it doesn't know what's good for it, Di Tian will definitely let it know what a dirty trick (Dragon God Claw) is.

The golden tortoiseshell tried to struggle, but Di Tian didn't give it the chance at all, revealing his dragon claws and speaking some heartfelt words to it on the spot.

On the surface, due to the extraction of the living gold, the golden tortoiseshell appears to be only 20,000 to 30,000 years old.

But Di Tian's eyes were incredibly sharp, especially in such close contact. He immediately noticed something amiss with the Golden Tortoise's physical strength. Although its source was depleted, it still looked like it had been around for 100,000 years.

Everything matches Ye Qing's description, so what's the point of interrogating him?

Secret Technique: Beast God's Chest-Piercing Claw!

puff-

Blood and flesh splattered everywhere. The sturdy shell of the golden hawksbill turtle was as fragile as paper, instantly pierced by Di Tian's claws, tearing out a handful of flesh and blood.

Bang!

Di Tian suddenly crushed the flesh and blood in his hand. Feeling the hard object in his palm, Di Tian's expression became even more violent. He slowly opened his palm, and a piece of emerald green metal was quietly in his palm, which was covered with blood and bits of flesh.

Gold of life.

"Ho...ho..."

The golden hawksbill turtle, mortally wounded, stared wide-eyed, its mouth agape, taking in more air than exhaling, its pierced abdomen emitting a constant, bellowing sound.

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The turtle is doomed!

"Biji, keep it alive for a bit." Di Tian put away the Life Gold, then coldly tossed the dying golden tortoise shell to Ye Qing. "It's yours now, do whatever you want with it."

"The Beast God's aura."

Ye Qing grinned, and after having Bi Ji give it a quick heal, he raised his right hand and slapped down with a palm strike from Da Han Wu Xue. When it comes to preservation, Da Han Wu Xue is serious and professional.

He didn't plan to absorb the Golden Tortoise Shell's spirit ring and spirit bone himself; he would freeze them first and then see how best to distribute them. However, in his opinion, the spirit ring would be absorbed by Zhang Lexuan, and the spirit bone by Xu Jiujiu.

then……

"By the way, Beast God, I heard that the tiger-type soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest have been basically wiped out by Bear Lord, who doesn't allow them to become 100,000-year soul beasts. So, do you have a lot of tiger-type soul beast soul bones stockpiled?" Ye Qing suddenly asked.

Di Tian, ​​who was about to leave, stopped and turned to look at Ye Qing: "Yes, what's wrong? Do you want it?"

Ye Qing nodded: "It's to repay favors. Some things you owe always have to be repaid. If you have any high-quality torso bones, please give me one."

A smile appeared on Di Tian's indifferent face, and he said meaningfully, "Yes, what is owed must always be repaid. I am also looking forward to seeing how much you will bring to the Star Dou Great Forest in the future."

"Wait, I'll go to Xiong Jun and get you a piece."

After saying this, Di Tian turned and walked into the space.

Yes, debts must always be repaid. The Star Dou Great Forest invested far more in Ye Qing than Shrek Academy. Of course, Ye Qing would rather owe the Star Dou Great Forest a favor than Shrek Academy.

At least compared to the old fogies of the Sea God Pavilion, the straightforward and ferocious beasts of Xingdou are more willing to invest and are not greedy.
