The moment the word 'Equip' left his mouth!
The five crystals on the Emperor Belt emitted a dazzling light.
The Taiji Crystal in the center released golden energy that converged into a pillar of light, shooting straight into the sky.
Within the pillar of light.
Specks of light converged and took shape.
With one step forward.
Jin Mian appeared in mid-air, clad in the emperor battle armor.
He quietly gazed down at Di Tian below.
Compared to a year ago, this emperor battle armor had been upgraded to a full set of Three-Word Battle Armor!
The moment the battle armor was donned.
The aura on his body began to climb rapidly.
It rose until it reached the peak of a Level 99 Peerless Douluo.
"Wow! Daddy is so handsome!!!"
Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan had stars in their eyes, looking on with faces full of worship.
Di Tian, on the other hand, was completely dumbfounded.
Those golden vertical pupils stared at Jin Mian in disbelief.
To be honest.
At first, he hadn't taken this human brat in front of him seriously at all.
After all, he was the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with a cultivation of eight hundred thousand years—Di Tian!
He was an existence who could make the ground shake.
A being who could make the entire Star Dou Great Forest tremble with a single stomp of his foot.
A mere human brat whose age wasn't even a fraction of his own.
How could he possibly be his opponent?
He only needed a light swing to swat the other party into meat paste.
But who would have expected it?
The aura of the human before him instantly soared to the level of a super Douluo.
Furthermore, he was wearing a set of very strange armor.
Di Tian was shocked and suspicious.
How long had it been since he went into seclusion?
Had the group of humans who were once like ants in his eyes...
...already become this strong today?
To possess such cultivation at such a young age!
It was simply inconceivable.
Jin Mian raised his hand, lightly rotating his wrist as he said, "The time for your bad luck has arrived."
Hearing these words.
Di Tian snapped back to his senses.
He mocked, "Insignificant human, you truly don't know the heights of the heavens. Do you really think that by wearing a pile of scrap metal and reaching the level of a super Douluo, you are my match?"
"Today, before you die, I will let you witness the might of me, Beast God Di Tian!"
Setting the two little ones down.
Di Tian reverted to his true form.
Flapping those massive dragon wings, he raised a dragon claw that could blot out the sun.
He swiped toward Jin Mian.
As if he were about to swat a fly at any moment.
Facing this strike.
Jin Mian was clearly no pushover.
He raised his fist to meet it.
Boom—!
A thunderous roar erupted.
A shockwave exploded from the center where Jin Mian's fist and Di Tian's claw collided.
It sent ripples through the air, spreading rapidly toward the Star Dou Great Forest with lightning speed.
In mid-air.
The man and the dragon were locked in a contest of strength.
They were actually evenly matched!
Neither had gained the upper hand.
This caused Di Tian, who originally had absolute confidence in his own strength...
...to have eyes instantly filled with unavoidable astonishment!
He thought in disbelief, "How is this possible?! He's just a human. Even if he practiced to the Peerless realm, it's absolutely impossible for him to possess strength that can rival this seat!!!"
He was the overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with eight hundred thousand years of cultivation.
Even back then, during that battle with Bear Lord.
When competing in strength with the opponent.
He could steadily suppress Bear Lord.
Although he hadn't used his full power in that palm strike just now, the strength within it...
...was enough to casually swat a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast to death.
But now.
A human was actually his equal in terms of strength.
How could Di Tian not be surprised?
"Is this all the strength you have? Di Tian, it doesn't seem like much." Jin Mian wore a mocking expression.
However, to withstand that strike.
He had also used thirty percent of his power!
"Cut the crap! Again!" Di Tian roared, swinging another palm strike!
Different from before.
This palm strike was enveloped in a dark purple aura.
Clearly, he was finally getting serious and beginning to use his true power.
He was prepared to tear apart this human who dared to provoke him!
Jin Mian leaped backward.
Turning to face the incoming dragon claw, he didn't hesitate for a moment.
His left fist ignited with Ultimate Fire.
"Bring it on, watch my Flame Punch!"
Rumble—!!!
It was obvious.
This collision was even more intense.
Violent winds howled as they swept outward!
Red and black auras intertwined and tangled.
Like two ferocious dragons locked in a life-and-death struggle in mid-air.
The resulting impact felt as if it would tear the entire sky apart.
The two were in a stalemate for a moment.
The Ultimate Fire on Jin Mian's right fist unconsciously suppressed the dark purple aura on Di Tian's dragon claw.
Furthermore.
Vaguely, Di Tian also felt a sense of pressure.
And this pressure was none other than...
...Dragon Might!
"This kid's Martial Soul, if I'm not mistaken, should be a Crocodilian Spirit. Where did this Dragon Might come from?"
"Moreover, with my bloodline level, even if the opponent's crocodile evolved into a Crocodile Dragon, the resulting Dragon Might shouldn't be able to suppress me. Just what is going on?"
"Besides, this Dragon Might is so familiar, as if I just felt it not long ago."
Just as Di Tian was completely perplexed.
Quickly.
He sensed that this Dragon Might was coming from Jin Mian's left hand.
Taking a closer look.
It turned out to be a Spirit Bone.
But a new question arose.
Even if this Spirit Bone was dropped by a dragon-type Spirit Beast.
Among the existing dragon clans, aside from the Silver Dragon King and the recently recovered offspring of the Ice and Fire Dragon King, his bloodline level was the highest.
"Wait... Ice and Fire Dragon King..." Di Tian suddenly thought of something.
Carefully sensing this Dragon Might.
He discovered.
This Dragon Might was exactly the same as the Dragon Might emitted by the Fire Dragon King's offspring a day ago.
He immediately questioned: "Kid, where did that Spirit Bone on your hand come from?"
"I picked it up," Jin Mian said with a slight smile.
He hadn't expected Di Tian's reaction to be so fast.
To actually recognize so quickly that the Spirit Bone on his left hand was the left arm bone of the fire dragon king.
After hearing Jin Mian say he picked up the Spirit Bone.
Di Tian clearly didn't believe him.
He flew into a rage: "How dare you take a supreme treasure of my Dragon Clan without permission! Give me your life!"
Di Tian's eyes glinted with murderous intent!
His wings suddenly spread wide, blotting out the light of the sky!
Within that abyssal maw, a burst of Black Dragon Flame began to condense.
The next moment.
The Black Dragon Flame spewed out toward Jin Mian like a surging torrent of lava, carrying an aura that could destroy heaven and earth.
The ultra-high temperature contained within the dragon flame.
Burned the surrounding air until it made a'sizzle sizzle' sound.
Its power.
Was simply not something the Dark Phoenix's dark wind and fire from back then could compare to.
Attacking from such a close distance.
Jin Mian was simply unable to dodge.
The flames swallowed him whole.
The dragon flame sprayed for a full ten minutes before it finally stopped.
Looking at the billowing black smoke before him.
Di Tian thought his dragon flame had already burned the opponent to ashes.
So he said smugly, "Go repent in hell! This is the price you must pay for your arrogance!"
Just as he intended to step forward.
To retrieve the Fire Dragon King's Spirit Bone.
Jin Mian's voice rang out from within the billowing black smoke.
"Yo, these flames are a bit interesting. The power isn't bad."
