"What? Do you still want to enter the Great Star Dou Forest?"
Fang Yang's voice was calm, yet it carried unquestionable pressure.
The scene fell into an awkward silence. Experts from all factions looked at each other; no one dared to break this solemnity first.
"Cough... This Empress came here merely to witness Di Tian's breakthrough to Godhood; I have no other intentions."
The Demon Empress broke the silence first, her tone easing.
As a transformed Deep Sea Demon Whale King, she had no deep grudge against the land soul beasts.
Of course, this was not because she was kind-hearted; purely because a wise man submits to circumstances.
"If I... insist on going in?" Yun Ming stepped forward, the Atlas Divine Spear emitting a low hum in his hand.
As the Sea God Pavilion Master, he could not show weakness before everyone's eyes; otherwise, Shrek Academy's dignity would vanish completely.
"You can try."
Fang Yang's tone remained flat, yet it made everyone's heart tremble.
Almost the moment his words fell, silver light circulated around Gu Yue, and vast pressure surged towards Yun Ming like a tide!
"Brother Ming, don't be impulsive!" Ya Li hurriedly grabbed Yun Ming's arm.
She could feel that the aura emanating from the other party was unfathomable; definitely not an ordinary person.
On the other side, Qiangu Dongfeng struggled to stand up, the severe pain in his chest making his face pale.
He stared dead at Gu Yue, his voice carrying shock and suspicion: "Who exactly are you? With such strength, you are definitely not nameless!"
Gu Yue glanced at him indifferently, no ripples in her silver eyes: "Who I am is not important."
"What matters is that today, no one must disturb Di Tian's tribulation."
Her gaze swept over the crowd, word by word: "Those who trespass without permission, die!"
The cold warning echoed under the amplification of soul power, making several experts show different expressions.
The Demon Empress quietly stepped back half a step, indicating her stance.
Yun Ming gripped the Atlas Divine Spear tightly, his expression solemn. Qiangu Dongfeng gritted his teeth without speaking, unwillingness and fear flashing in the bottom of his eyes.
Just then, in the core zone of the Great Star Dou Forest, above the Life Lake, a sudden change occurred!
The tribulation clouds in the sky suddenly churned violently. The third and fourth layers of the Heavenly Tribulation descended heavily!
Gold, green, blue, red, yellow—five-colored lightning intertwined into a pillar of destruction, slashing down towards Di Tian's head!
Immediately following, the fifth, sixth, and seventh layers of the Heavenly Tribulation arrived one after another; seven-colored lightning illuminated the entire sky as if the end of days had arrived!
Where the thunder passed, space distorted slightly.
"Roar!"
Di Tian howled at the sky; light and dark intertwined dragon patterns appeared on his dragon body.
He no longer resisted hard but opened his mouth and spat out a dragon pearl circulating with light and darkness.
As the dragon pearl rotated, it actually slowly devoured the sky-full of lightning tribulation!
This scene made all the spectators gasp in cold air. To be able to devour the heavenly tribulation, Di Tian's strength was already infinitely close to God Level!
Fang Yang and Gu Yue exchanged a glance; both saw the solemnity in each other's eyes.
"Almost..."
Fang Yang said softly, "The last two layers of the heavenly tribulation are also the most dangerous two."
As if to confirm his words, the tribulation clouds suddenly turned from seven-colored to deep purple-black.
That was the Nirvana God Thunder legendary enough to annihilate all things!
"No, Di Tian cannot become a God." Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi suddenly spoke.
As the Tang Sect Master, he could not allow soul beasts to become Gods.
As soon as the voice fell, a white long sword appeared in his hand; a blood line ran from the hilt to the tip in the center of the blade.
It was the Martial Soul: Heartless Sword!
Amorous Douluo Zang Xin cooperated tacitly; a sword appeared in his hand, presenting a deep blue, shimmering with deep light.
Martial Soul: Amorous Sword!
Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi and Amorous Douluo Zang Xin looked at each other; that was love from Chengdu.
Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi chanted loudly: "Seemingly heartless yet actually affectionate."
"Amorous since ancient times leaves only regret." Amorous Douluo Zang Xin looked at him deeply, continuing the recitation.
Two figures rose from the ground; two giant swords rushed straight into the clouds!
In the shocked eyes of the crowd, the Heartless Sword and Amorous Sword overlapped in the air, suddenly turning into a brilliant silver light rising into the sky.
Intense emotional fluctuations burst out instantly, spreading throughout the field.
Martial Soul Fusion Skill: Heaven Moving Emotions!
Where the silver light passed, space trembled for it.
"This is... a sealing-type Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Seeing this, a trace of understanding flashed in Fang Yang's eyes.
He remembered that in the original work, Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi and Amorous Douluo Zang Xin sacrificed themselves, using this move to seal the 1st-Class God Level Abyss Monarch for a full three days.
Gu Yue's eyes condensed; she was about to make a move.
Only to see Fang Yang raise his right hand lightly; a mysterious rune floated in his palm.
"Heaven-Sealing Divine Ban!"
That rune looked simple, yet it seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. The moment it contacted the silver light, it actually dissolved the sealing power within it into nothingness.
"This... how is this possible!"
Heartless Douluo Cao Dezhi and Amorous Douluo Zang Xin exclaimed simultaneously, their faces written with disbelief.
Their proud Martial Soul Fusion Skill was actually neutralized so casually by the other party?
"Seeking death!"
A trace of killing intent flashed in Gu Yue's black eyes; her right hand turned into a Silver Dragon Claw, carrying terrifying power to slap towards the two.
That Silver Dragon Claw shimmered with cold light, as if it could tear apart everything.
"Zang Xin, dodge quickly!" Cao Dezhi shouted urgently.
Unfortunately, the space around them had already been imprisoned; they fundamentally couldn't dodge.
They could only watch helplessly as that terrifying Silver Dragon Claw slapped towards them.
"Pu."
Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin spat out a mouthful of fresh blood simultaneously, flying backward, and smashing heavily onto the ground.
"Dezhi, Zang Xin, are you guys okay?" Yun Ming stepped forward quickly, his face solemn.
Ya Li also walked over, carefully examining the injuries of the two.
"I..."
Cao Dezhi struggled to speak, but spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
As for Zang Xin, he had already fainted, his aura weak.
Obviously, this was different from the power used against Qiangu Dongfeng; Gu Yue was truly angry this time.
"Brother Ming, let me handle it." Ya Li said softly.
Rings of soul rings rose from beneath her feet. The top-level soul ring configuration of six black and three red highlighted her strength as a Healing System Limit Douluo.
Wisps of halo emanated from her body; no expansion of soul ring light was seen.
A small angel emerged from behind her.
This angel had three pairs of wings behind it; the six wings flapped lightly, and countless golden light points landed on Cao Dezhi and Zang Xin.
A moment later, Ya Li withdrew her Prayer Angel Martial Soul, her face slightly pale.
Yun Ming concernedly held her hand: "Ya Li, are you okay?"
"It's fine, I just consumed a bit too much soul power." Ya Li responded softly.
The consumption of healing two Limit Douluos was indeed not small.
"Cough... Ya Li, could you also treat me?" Qiangu Dongfeng asked, coughing blood; his injuries were similarly not light.
Before Ya Li could answer, Yun Ming spoke coldly: "Pagoda Master Qian should return to the Spirit Pagoda to heal."
Fang Yang's gaze swept across the field, his voice calm yet carrying supreme authority: "Is there anyone else who wants to try?"
Dead silence throughout the field.
At this moment, everyone realized that with these two mysterious experts guarding, no one could stop Di Tian from undergoing the tribulation to become a God today!
