Chapter 448: Star Dou Great Forest, Target: Di Tian!
As Bibi Dong had predicted, three days later, the Heaven Dou Empire's army did not launch a forceful attack on Jialing Pass. Instead, it slowly retreated.
It was during the Heaven Dou Empire army's retreat that two figures directly separated from the main force.
They were Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Tianlin, grandfather and grandson. Their objective for this trip was naturally to obtain Yu Tianlin's final ninth Spirit Ring.
Although Emperor Xue Ye hoped to press forward and capture Jialing Pass, for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Tianlin's ninth Spirit Ring was more important. Therefore, Yu Tianlin still left the army together with Yu Yuanzhen.
Without the two of them overseeing the situation, no one could contend with Bibi Dong. Because of this, Emperor Xue Ye could only reluctantly give up, knowing when to stop, and lead his army back.
At this time, after leaving the army, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen quickly headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest. Their target for this trip was there.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, the only one capable of becoming Yu Tianlin's ninth Spirit Ring was the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.
So, they were going to kill Di Tian this time.
Yu Tianlin had carefully considered his decision to choose Di Tian as the target for his ninth Spirit Ring.
Di Tian's Dragon Clan bloodline was rich, and his cultivation had reached eight hundred thousand years. It could be said that he was the most suitable Spirit Beast for Yu Tianlin on the entire Douluo Star, naturally holding a great attraction for him.
As for Di Tian's combat power, although it was extremely strong, he was not a god after all, so his strength was limited.
Just three days ago, Yu Tianlin and his grandfather, Yu Yuanzhen, had jointly defeated Bibi Dong. One had to know that Bibi Dong had lost even while holding a Divine Artifact. Therefore, with the two of them working together against Di Tian, who had no Divine Artifact, their chance of success was also quite good.
Di Tian's strength was not enough to make Yu Tianlin wary.
The only thing he feared was Di Tian's master, the Silver Dragon King, who had always been hiding in the Star Dou Great Forest.
It was precisely because of the Silver Dragon King's existence that Yu Tianlin had hesitated for a long time. In the end, he only made up his mind because the temptation of Di Tian was simply too great.
Firstly, in Yu Tianlin's opinion, the Silver Dragon King might not intervene even if he went to hunt Di Tian.
After all, the Silver Dragon King had been hiding from the God Realm for so many years. Exposing herself to the eyes of the God Realm for Di Tian would be completely counterproductive.
Secondly, even if the Silver Dragon King truly disregarded the risk of exposure and decided to act for Di Tian, he was not without means to counter her.
Thinking of this, Yu Tianlin subconsciously touched the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud in his embrace.
That's right.
Yu Tianlin's means of dealing with the Silver Dragon King was the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud contained the power of the Sea God. In the original timeline, it had scared the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, fought Bibi Dong, and could even contend with Qian Renxue after she had reached Divine Rank.
These were enough to show that the Sea God's power contained within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was considerable, at least enough to deal with existences at Divine Rank.
If the Dragon Clan remnant, the Silver Dragon King, suddenly appeared, then in such a critical situation, Yu Tianlin did not believe the Sea God would pretend to be dead.
As long as the Sea God's power could emerge and block the Silver Dragon King for a moment, he would have time to escape.
Although the Silver Dragon King might be slightly stronger than the Sea God, she had been severely injured when she fled the God Realm back then. Later, she had also gradually released her energy to nourish the entire Star Dou Great Forest.
Therefore, her current strength was definitely far inferior to her peak. At most, she probably only barely possessed Divine Rank strength.
In this situation, the portion of the Sea God's power within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud should be able to withstand the Silver Dragon King. This gave Yu Tianlin a lot of confidence.
In fact, to put it plainly, Yu Tianlin still wanted to take a gamble.
If the Silver Dragon King did not intervene, he would directly kill Di Tian and obtain the Spirit Ring.
But if the Silver Dragon King did intervene, Yu Tianlin would immediately throw out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud and flee without a second thought.
As they drew closer and closer to the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Tianlin mentally went through all the possible scenarios that might occur later, trying his best to ensure that no unexpected situation would arise.
Upon nearing the perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, Yu Tianlin and Yu Yuanzhen slowed their pace together.
"Tell me, how do you plan to do it this time?" Yu Yuanzhen asked. "And what is the target?"
Yu Yuanzhen was actually a little curious.
His precious grandson did not use the nine hundred thousand year Ice Silkworm in the clan, but instead ran all the way to the Star Dou Great Forest, claiming that there was a better Spirit Beast here.
Wasn't the strongest existence in the Star Dou Great Forest that Azure Dragon?
However, that Azure Dragon had already become Yu Tianlin's eighth Spirit Ring. What other Spirit Beast here could be more powerful than the Azure Dragon?
"Grandpa, my target this time is a Golden Eyed Black Dragon," Yu Tianlin said with a somewhat solemn expression. "This Golden Eyed Black Dragon is named Di Tian. His cultivation should be above eight hundred thousand years, making him the strongest existence among the entire Black Dragon Clan currently. So, calling him the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King is not an exaggeration."
If it were during the Dragon Clan's heyday, apart from the special Mountain Dragon lineage, only existences that reached the First Rank God level were qualified to receive the title of Dragon King.
But now, the Dragon Clan had fallen, so calling Di Tian a Dragon King was fine.
"Eight hundred thousand year Golden Eyed Black Dragon King?"
Hearing Yu Tianlin's words, Yu Yuanzhen, who had been smiling, immediately became serious.
Although he knew his grandson had high standards, he had not expected them to be this high.
The combat power of a True Dragon was much stronger than ordinary Spirit Beasts.
For example, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Yun Xi they had previously dealt with had only one hundred thousand years of cultivation, yet his combat power could already rival a human Titled Douluo at level 96.
And now, this Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian, had eight hundred thousand years of cultivation.
Yu Yuanzhen knew without even thinking that this fellow must be incredibly strong. His strength would be among the strongest even among human level 99 Limit Douluo.
However, a powerful Golden Eyed Black Dragon King was a good thing.
Yu Yuanzhen narrowed his eyes.
A stronger target naturally meant a better Spirit Ring would be produced.
"Di Tian is indeed very powerful," Yu Tianlin continued. "His strength is definitely not inferior to Bibi Dong's, but Bibi Dong has a Divine Artifact, and Di Tian does not."
"Whether or not one has a Divine Artifact greatly affects strength. I have the Thunder God's Hammer, and Grandpa has the Dragon Slaying Saber. With the two of us working together, dealing with Di Tian should not be a problem."
"It's just, Grandpa, you must pay attention. If any unexpected situation occurs during the hunt for Di Tian, do not hesitate. Just run. Run as far as you can!"
When saying this, Yu Tianlin's expression was extremely serious. He also took out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud from his embrace and showed it to Yu Yuanzhen.
"If I throw out the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it means an opponent we absolutely cannot resist has appeared. At that time, we must retreat at the fastest possible speed!"
Hearing Yu Tianlin speak so seriously, Yu Yuanzhen did not take it lightly and firmly kept it in mind.
Seeing that everything that needed to be explained to his grandfather had been explained, Yu Tianlin took a deep breath and put away the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, his final means of survival.
Then, he gripped the Thunder God's Hammer that he had been carrying on his back and stepped toward the Star Dou Great Forest not far away.
"Let's go."
