Bonus Chapter. Enjoy!
============================
Huo Yuhao wasn't sure if this Destiny Guidance existed in the original trajectory of fate, or if he had gained any benefits from it because of it.
In those historical records, the parts concerning the Auspicious Beast were vague, only stating that she eventually sacrificed herself for Huo Yuhao.
Now, within that golden cage of light, the Auspicious Beast's large golden eyes were filled with anger and humiliation. Looking at the Auspicious Beast's struggling body and unwilling expression, he didn't want to be the beneficiary of this.
Huo Yuhao said indifferently, "Elder Xuan, forget it."
Xuan Zi's earthy-yellow eyes were full of confusion: "Are you really going to give up such a rare Opportunity?"
He really couldn't understand; such a heavenly Opportunity was something others couldn't even beg for, yet Huo Yuhao was actually going to give it up?
Huo Yuhao shook his head with a determined gaze, without the slightest hesitation.
Meanwhile, Xuan Zi glanced at the Auspicious Beast in front of him, seemingly still unwilling to give up in his heart.
His gaze swept back and forth between the Auspicious Beast and Huo Yuhao, as if he were calculating and weighing something.
The Auspicious Beast was currently looking at Huo Yuhao, its large golden eyes staring at him without blinking. A special feeling also arose within its heart. Huo Yuhao's gaze just now made it seem as if it had seen a story; it felt as though this wasn't their first meeting.
Watching the "stubborn" Xuan Zi, Xian Liner also hurriedly sent him a voice transmission, filled with a bit of gravity and a bit of admonishment. "Elder Xuan, it's better not to cause unnecessary trouble. Shrek Academy cannot afford any major turmoil right now."
Elder Mu's end was approaching, and Shrek Academy had no Limit Douluo to oversee it. At a time like this, it was indeed unwise to form a grudge with the Vicious Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest. The Auspicious Beast was the vessel of the Star Dou Great Forest's Luck; to touch it was to make an enemy of the entire Star Dou Great Forest. This was a price Shrek Academy could not afford right now.
Hearing this, Xuan Zi also calmed down. He took a deep breath and glanced at the Scarlet King across from him, who was ready to strike at any moment.
Finally, he sighed and released his control over the Auspicious Beast. The earthy-yellow cage of light slowly dissipated, turning into specks of light and vanishing into the air.
The Auspicious Beast fell from mid-air and landed lightly on the ground. It shook its fur, then quickly ran behind the Scarlet King to hide.
They all thought this "conflict" had ended with Xuan Zi's surrender. The tense atmosphere in the forest just now seemed to be slowly relaxing. But right at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
The sky above the entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to change color instantly; the originally azure sky churned with rolling dark clouds as if stirred by an invisible giant hand. The sunlight was obscured, and the World fell into darkness. An incredibly powerful pressure descended instantly, pressing down on everyone's heart like an invisible mountain.
At this moment, the Star Dou Great Forest seemed to fall silent instantly; not a single sound from birds or beasts could be heard.
In the entire World, only an oppressive, extreme silence remained.
Xuan Zi and Xian Liner's expressions changed drastically; as Titled Douluo, they knew better than anyone how powerful this pressure was!
Then, everyone looked up almost simultaneously. Where everyone's gazes converged, the sky seemed to be torn open. The opening split from the middle and extended to both sides, like a giant invisible hand tearing through the fabric of the sky. A spatial rift, like a black vortex that seemed to swallow everything, appeared in the sky, constantly rotating.
Then, a tall figure actually walked out of this spatial rift that was enough to shred a person into countless pieces. He stepped forward, and the spatial turbulence capable of slaughtering a Titled Douluo was like a gentle stream before him, not even lifting the corner of his clothes.
He wore a long black robe embroidered with golden patterns that glowed faintly in the dim light.
Long black hair was draped behind his head, falling like a waterfall; his hair fluttered gently in the wind, with a strand of golden hair flying across his forehead.
His face was resolute, with sharp features and lines that looked as if they were carved by a knife or axe. His golden vertical pupils were full of majesty; his gaze was cold and arrogant, looking down on everything below like a god looking down at ants.
His appearance made the entire Star Dou Great Forest tremble and all living beings submit. "Humans, do you wish to go to war with my Star Dou?"
His simple sentence, neither loud nor soft, carried an unquestionable authority. In that tone, there was no threat, no anger, only a high-and-mighty calmness.
The Scarlet King had said something similar before, but its deterrent power couldn't compare to what he had just said.
A majestic aura erupted from within Xuan Zi; he stood in front of everyone and looked up at the figure in mid-air, his face full of gravity. As a rank 98 Super Douluo, even ordinary Vicious Beasts were no match for him.
But the person before him, appearing in human form and bringing him unprecedented pressure, was clearly a top-tier existence among the Vicious Beasts. That pressure, that aura, and that seemingly innate kingly air all made him feel wary.
Xuan Zi's heart pounded wildly, echoing in his chest like a drum.
He swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and asked tentatively, "Is Your Excellency... the Beast God?"
The figure in the air said coldly, "It seems someone still remembers this King."
Indeed, the one who appeared now was none other than the number one ranked among the Ten Great Vicious Beasts, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King known as the Beast God—Di Tian! His cultivation had long ago surpassed the Limit Douluo of humans, reaching another level.
Having received a definitive answer, Xuan Zi's heart grew apprehensive.
Di Tian—he really couldn't beat him. Not to mention a rank 98 Super Douluo like him, even Elder Mu in his Peak period might not have been Di Tian's match.
Not long ago, seeing that Xuan Zi was about to act against the Auspicious Beast, the Scarlet King appeared anxious to intervene on the surface, putting on a desperate stance. But secretly, he had also contacted Di Tian through special means.
Seeing Di Tian appear now, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, thinking about being threatened by Xuan Zi just now, he couldn't help but feel angry. For the majestic Scarlet King, ranked eighth among the Ten Great Vicious Beasts, to be forced into immobility by a human—if word got out, where would he hide his face?
Now with Di Tian's backing, the Scarlet King immediately roared, "Di Tian, they wanted to move against the Auspicious Beast; we absolutely cannot let them off easily!"
Hearing this, both Xuan Zi and Xian Liner's expressions changed wildly. Encountering the Beast God Di Tian was the greatest danger in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xuan Zi finally regretted his previous actions; he shouldn't have moved against the Auspicious Beast, and he shouldn't have let things reach this point. His mind raced, thinking that if a fight really broke out, even if he died, he had to hold back Di Tian to let Huo Yuhao and the others escape safely.
Huo Yuhao, on the other hand, wasn't too nervous; no fear could be seen on his handsome face. Because he had already mastered the Spirit Soul secret technique; if all else failed, he could bring this out to save his life.
After all, in the original history, after Di Tian saw the effects of Spirit Souls, he even let go of his hatred over the death of the Auspicious Beast.
In fact, he was currently more curious than anything else; his gaze was fixed intently on Di Tian's face in the air.
He felt like he had seen it somewhere before.
