The Starry Sky Forest is a place of great danger.
Lake of Life.
The lake water is like a mirror, reflecting the towering ancient trees.
The calm water surface suddenly rippled, and two huge beast heads burst out of the water.
On the left is the Azure Bull Python Daming, and on the right is the Titan Giant Ape Erming.
When they finally saw the two familiar figures on the shore, Erming's big, lantern-like eyes widened in surprise, and he raised his arm to rub his eyes.
It spoke in a muffled voice, its face full of astonishment.
"Aunt Brigitte? Is it really you?"
"Didn't you go to the human world? Why are you back?"
Hearing this, Brigitte felt somewhat puzzled.
She asked, "Isn't Di Tian about to undergo tribulation? Didn't he inform you?"
Upon hearing this, Da Ming and Er Ming exchanged a puzzled look, then shook their heads in unison.
Seeing that they were all unclear,
The two women said no more and dived straight down to the bottom of the lake.
...
What I see before my eyes
Surrounded by several ferocious beasts, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm looked even worse than before.
The auras of Xiong Jun, Wan Yao Wang, and Chi Wang were much stronger than before, and they were in a state of semi-sleep and semi-awake.
As for the Black Dragon King Di Tian, its originally jet-black dragon scales now had a strange dark red hue.
It's like magma flowing beneath obsidian, ready to erupt at any moment.
Even in its slumber, that extremely suppressed aura caused the surrounding space to distort and ripple.
really.
It's time for a breakthrough.
Moreover, judging from this situation, it may have even reached a critical point.
"My goodness! My dear ladies! You're finally back!"
A comical yet pitiful voice suddenly rang in Wang Qiu'er's mind.
"Help! I'm being drained dry!"
Wang Qiu'er looked in the direction of the sound.
The one that cried for help was the large, snow-white fleshy worm, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
only,
It no longer has the round, chubby appearance it once did.
The once crystal-clear, jade-like surface has become somewhat shriveled and wrinkled.
"Bridget, it's been a long time."
A deep, authoritative voice, yet tinged with complex emotions, echoed in the empty space at the bottom of the lake.
The sound resounded in the ears of the two women.
It is the Emperor of Heaven.
Brigitte paused.
It's been almost six years.
This was the first time she had heard Di Tian's voice since that unpleasant parting.
It was a familiar voice, but it carried a hint of something indescribable.
Brigitte pursed her lips.
She looked at the enormous dragon body, simply hummed in response, and then said nothing more.
She didn't know what to say, and didn't want to say more.
Although that incident is in the past, it left an indelible scar in her heart.
Especially now, she already has someone she loves.
When she faced the beast god she once admired and followed, her mindset had undergone a complete transformation.
A brief, deathly silence fell over the air.
Only the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm was still whimpering in Wang Qiu'er's mind, crying out in pain.
"you..."
Di Tian's voice rang out again, tinged with a barely perceptible hesitation.
"Are you still angry with me?"
As the current representative of the Lord of Soul Beasts, and possessing the noble bloodline of the Dragon Clan, Di Tian is arrogant.
Making him bow his head and admit his mistake is more painful than killing him.
But Di Tian also had feelings for Bi Ji.
In these six years.
During his periods of deep meditation, the image of Bi Ji resolutely leaving would always appear in his mind.
He thought about it for a long time.
Perhaps back then, he was indeed too radical and too domineering.
He shouldn't have questioned Brigitte's loyalty to the soul beast race, much less reprimanded her so harshly.
but...
Di Tian did not think he was completely wrong.
That's an auspicious beast!
It is the hope for the revival of the Soul Beast race and the key to maintaining the fortune of the Star Dou Great Forest!
Brigitte dared to bring the mythical beast to contact humans, and even conspired with them to offend it!
If something goes wrong, who can bear the responsibility?
So isn't it only natural that he's angry and loses his temper?
This conflicting feeling is indeed somewhat torturous.
Now that Brigitte is back, he wants to ease tensions, but he can't bring himself to completely back down.
"Let bygones be bygones."
Brigitte interrupted his dilemma.
Her tone was very calm, as if she didn't care at all.
"Compared to those things..."
Biji stepped forward, her gaze passing over Ditian and landing on the withered Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
"Di Tian, what do you mean by this?" she questioned, pointing at the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. "What did you promise me back then?"
Brigitte had already figured it out by now.
The Ice Silkworm's innate soul power was absorbed by more than half!
This is the fundamental reason why its complexion is so poor.
Because the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has consumed the Mysterious Ice Marrow of Ten Thousand Years, it has accumulated a massive amount of the primordial energy of heaven and earth within its body, enough for ferocious beasts to absorb for tens of thousands of years.
However, the drawback is that they cannot absorb all of this energy at once.
Besides, what is most nourishing for these ferocious beasts is...
It is the two innate soul powers of ice and spirit that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm has not yet absorbed.
In other words, even if the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm releases a large amount of the world's energy for them to absorb, as long as a tiny bit is left behind and their innate soul power remains unaffected, their lives will be safe.
"You said that you would only absorb its vital energy and would never damage its essence."
"Once everyone's cultivation is stable, we will release it back to the far north."
Biji's voice turned colder: "But what about now? Its life force has been forcibly extracted by you, and it's already mostly depleted. I'm afraid in a few days, it will just become a dead skin, won't it?"
Hearing that someone was backing her up, Tianmeng Bingcan shouted even louder in Wang Qiu'er's mind.
"Yes, yes! Those robbers! Bandits!"
"I kindly offered to be your power bank, and you guys actually tried to take me apart, even the battery!"
"Waaaaah, mythical beast, save me! Sister Biji, save me!"
Wang Qiu'er's head was throbbing from the noise, and she shook her head irritably.
Clearly, Di Tian broke the contract.
It is unknown when it started, but it and other ferocious beasts began to forcibly absorb both the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the life force of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm.
It looks like he's been using it for a while now.
With these additional measures, it's no wonder that the great calamity of 800,000 years for the Ditian Empire will come earlier than expected.
Looking at the other ferocious beasts, the Bear King, the Demon King, and the Crimson King are all facing their own great calamities.
His life force was being frantically drained, which was tantamount to being in mortal danger.
No wonder Tianmeng Ice Silkworm was anxious; no wonder he spared no expense to try to send a message to Wang Qiu'er, who was far away in a human city, through the source left by the auspicious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest.
So that's what they were calling for help!
No wonder they didn't tell the truth.
I'm afraid they'll abandon me if I tell them everything...
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm still needs ten thousand years to break through the million-year cultivation level.
His little tricks naturally couldn't escape Di Tian's notice.
Di Tian did not stop it.
Because these ferocious beasts are facing a great calamity, they truly need Biji and the auspicious beasts to return and protect them.
