Chapter 35: Inviting Di Tian
"Master, be careful!"
Lei Yao reacted swiftly, shouting loudly, his voice like a great bell, shattering the silence around them.
In the next moment, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder in his hand burst with light, expanding several times in size, resembling a thunderous star on the verge of exploding.
Lei Yao gathered his strength and hurled the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder into the sky.
At the same time, his eighth soul ring flashed brightly, emitting a blood-red, dazzling light.
"Eighth Soul Skill: Nine Heavens Thunder Domain!"
Lei Yao shouted, his voice carrying overwhelming thunderous power, spreading in all directions.
Centered on Lei Yao, an immense force erupted.
In the blink of an eye, the area around them was enveloped by a thick purple domain.
Within this domain, the power of thunder rampaged wildly, with lightning bolts as thick as an arm darting through, roaring deafeningly, like the arrival of the apocalypse, filled with terrifying divine power.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the previously clear sky above the Star Dou Forest was instantly covered by dark clouds, thick and impenetrable.
The air was suffused with a suffocating, oppressive feeling, as if a massive stone had been placed heavily on everyone's chest.
Immediately afterward, a giant dragon claw, black as ink, suddenly emerged from the sky. This claw was wrapped in a dense, extreme darkness energy.
As it passed, the space shattered like a broken mirror.
The dragon claw, carrying a world-destroying momentum, slammed down towards Jiang Li and the others.
"Di Tian!"
Jiang Li's expression changed slightly.
This extreme dark power, combined with the overwhelming pressure, could only belong to Di Tian, the absolute ruler of the Star Dou Forest.
Jiang Li never expected that Di Tian would arrive so quickly.
It seemed that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion had far more weight in his heart than he had imagined.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
As the dragon claw made contact with the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain released by Lei Yao, it sounded like two stars colliding, and a deafening, earth-shaking explosion erupted.
The shockwave from this impact spread like an invisible wave, rapidly expanding in all directions from the point of collision.
At the same time, the terrifying pressure generated from the clash of the two extreme forces surged like a tidal wave, engulfing the surroundings.
Wherever it passed, towering trees were snapped in half like twigs and violently fell to the ground, while the ground's plants were instantly reduced to dust, leaving behind a barren wasteland.
Once the aftermath dissipated, Lei Yao, holding the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, stood solemnly, staring intently at the sky.
The thunderous power surrounding him continued to flicker, like thunder snakes, always ready to strike, on alert for any unknown enemies.
Lei Yao was silently astonished. He hadn't expected the opponent's power to be so terrifying, far beyond his expectations.
In the distant sky, a black light streaked like a meteor.
In the blink of an eye, a massive, sky-blocking black dragon appeared in their field of vision.
The giant dragon exuded an eerie black aura. After circling once in the sky, the black light flickered and transformed into a cold-looking middle-aged man with black hair.
The man stood with his hands behind his back, his posture straight, radiating the aura of a powerful leader.
As soon as he appeared, the surrounding space seemed to be under immense pressure, rippling with visible waves.
After Di Tian appeared, his expression also turned serious as he looked at Lei Yao and his soul skill, the Nine Heavens Thunder Domain.
When his gaze fell on the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in Ling Yun's arms, his eyes instantly narrowed, filled with endless concern and tension.
The next moment, the space around Di Tian violently fluctuated, and like a ghost, he instantly disappeared from where he stood.
When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Ling Yun, his large hand stretching out and swiftly grabbing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Ling Yun had already prepared to act, but seeing that Di Tian's target was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, she hesitated and made no move.
Once Di Tian had distanced himself from them, Ling Yun and Lei Yao, in perfect synchronization, quickly stood in front of Jiang Li, assuming a defensive stance, prepared for the impending battle with this unknown, powerful soul beast.
"Human, you are strong!"
Di Tian gently placed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion into the Red King's arms, then turned his head to look at Lei Yao with a grave expression, his tone filled with acknowledgment and caution.
His earlier full-strength strike, without any reservation, was meant to defeat the enemy easily, but he hadn't expected to be blocked by this human soul master.
This made Di Tian reevaluate Lei Yao, now seeing him as a formidable opponent.
Lei Yao not only possessed an Extreme Thunder Martial Soul, but his power had also reached the level of an Extreme Douluo.
Di Tian's mind was filled with confusion and shock. He couldn't understand when a powerhouse of such caliber had emerged in the human soul master world.
In his memory, the only soul master he had respected in his prime was Mu En from Shrek Academy, who could barely earn his respect, but now this human soul master's strength surpassed even Mu En's by far, especially the devastating thunderous power that made Di Tian feel incredibly threatened, like a sharp blade hanging over his head.
"Too kind, your strength is not to be underestimated either."
Lei Yao replied calmly, shaking his head slightly, but his eyes were still focused and wary, never relaxing his guard.
"I'm curious, which faction do you come from? I've never heard of your existence in the human soul master world."
Di Tian's gaze was piercing, sweeping over everyone, before finally landing on Ling Yun.
He keenly sensed that Ling Yun also possessed an Extreme Life Attribute and that her strength had reached the level of an Extreme Douluo.
This discovery stirred up massive waves inside Di Tian. The human soul master world had suddenly given birth to two new Extreme Douluo powerhouses with Extreme Attributes.
This was a huge threat to the soul beast tribe, like a massive stone pressing on his chest.
Di Tian knew that he had to quickly find out the origins of these two.
His gaze shifted rapidly, and he finally focused on Jiang Li, who was being carefully protected by Lei Yao and Ling Yun.
After observing for a while, Di Tian subtly sensed that this seemingly inconspicuous, weakest soul master was perhaps the core and leader of the group.
"Di Tian, we come from the Starry Auction House. It's normal that you haven't heard of us yet, but in the future, the name of the Starry Auction House will echo throughout the entire Douluo Continent."
Jiang Li slowly began to speak.
He knew that Di Tian was a potential big client, and if he could bring him into the Starry Auction House's auction, that would be very interesting.
After all, Di Tian, as the Beast God of the Star Dou Forest, possessed countless rare treasures, any of which could be a sought-after item in the auction.
"I must clarify, we didn't capture the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. This little guy came to us on its own."
Jiang Li continued, his mind working with other plans. The system's lottery function was powerful, capable of drawing all sorts of treasures, and in the future, there would surely be many things beneficial to the soul beast tribe.
In Jiang Li's view, whether it was the soul beasts or soul master factions, he was only interested in using the Starry Auction House's auctions to acquire more precious treasures, enhance his own strength, and grow the Starry Auction House.
"Starry Auction House?"
Di Tian raised an eyebrow when he heard the unfamiliar name, filled with curiosity and confusion.
From the name, it seemed to be a newly emerging force.
But for a faction to possess two Extreme Douluo powerhouses was unprecedented in the human soul master world of Douluo Continent. It was simply unbelievable.
Regarding the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, Di Tian didn't delve further.
He knew the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's playful, uninhibited nature, and that he couldn't keep it under control.
He also sensed that Ling Yun's Extreme Life Attribute was incredibly attractive to the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, explaining why the little one refused to leave.
Di Tian silently thanked his luck that these human soul masters didn't seem to have any malicious intent toward the auspicious beast.
Otherwise, if they had gone to war, it would have been a catastrophe for the Star Dou Forest, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Jiang Li's mind quickly turned as he came up with a plan.
He took out an invitation card carefully prepared from the system space and handed it to Di Tian.
"This is the invitation for our Starry Auction House's auction in a month."
Jiang Li spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian extended his right hand, gently taking the invitation, his serious gaze fixed on the contents.
[Invitation]
[Auction Location: Starry Auction House (Shrek City)]
[Auction Time: One Month Later]
[Main Auction Item: Ninth-Level Soul Guidance Device]
Jiang Li had temporarily set the ninth-level soul guidance device as the main auction item because it was the most valuable and rare treasure the system had drawn so far.
He knew that there were few ninth-level soul guidance devices on the continent, and each one was a priceless treasure.
If they used the ninth-level soul guidance device as the main auction item, it would undoubtedly attract a large number of powerful forces eager to participate.
Moreover, the Starry Auction House had already successfully held one auction, and it had gained a certain amount of fame and popularity.
Even without issuing invitations, the top factions of Douluo Continent would rush to the auction once they heard about the ninth-level soul guidance device.
Jiang Li sending the invitation to Di Tian was also meant to involve the soul beast tribe in the auction.
