No matter how indignant Ma Hongjun was, Di Tian's Dragon God Claw reached out.
The aura of death enveloped Ma Hongjun, the dark light like a summons from the abyss. Sparks ignited
in Ma Hongjun's eyes as he focused on the Dragon God Claw that had torn through the void.
All the soul rings on the Martial God Spear lit up, the various colored patterns on the silver shaft shimmering.
The Fire Phoenix Martial Soul seemed to come alive, purple flames surging forth and condensing into burning amethyst.
The Martial God Spear thrust forward, using the spear as a pillar and the amethyst crystals as a barrier, forming a semi-circular shield.
This was Ma Hongjun's strongest defensive energy.
At this moment, Ma Hongjun dared not use soul attacks of this kind again.
Di Tian was not Xiong Jun; its spiritual power far surpassed Ma Hongjun's, and now that it was on guard, launching another soul attack would inevitably cause a backlash.
The power of the soul backlash was immense. Given the difference in strength between Ma Hongjun and Di Tian, the backlash could very well turn Ma Hongjun into an idiot.
"Bang!"
The Dragon God Claw slammed into Ma Hongjun's protective barrier.
Instantly, the amethyst barrier shattered, turning into wisps of flame.
The Martial God Spear was pressed against the Dragon Claw.
Ma Hongjun's eyes widened in horror as a Dragon God Claw pierced his shoulder.
"Ah!"
Ma Hongjun screamed in agony as the power of the Dragon God Claw frantically invaded his body, destroying it.
At this moment, the soul bones on Ma Hongjun's body lit up, connecting with each other to form a protective energy layer.
"Am I really going to be taken back by Di Tian?"
Ma Hongjun was unwilling to accept this. Di Tian's Dragon God Claw hadn't fully unleashed its power because he didn't want to kill him outright.
Now, the Dragon God Claw tried to bind Ma Hongjun.
"No!"
Ma Hongjun shouted, trying to break free.
At this moment, his entire soul power erupted, and his golden dragon soul shone brightly.
Ma Hongjun sensed that the dragon soul seemed to have gained consciousness.
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, located at the heart of the dragon, opened its eyes wide, trembling and curling up, but strands of white energy within its body were being frantically drained. Its
already illusory soul state became even more transparent.
Similarly, the Vermilion Bird King and his wife, also within the dragon soul's eyes, became uneasy; their soul power was also being extracted, making their soul states increasingly transparent.
The dragon soul rose, radiating golden light, instantly forming a substantial golden dragon.
The golden dragon stretched out its five claws, seizing Di Tian's Dragon God Claw, golden energy intertwining with black light.
The black dragon claw clashed with the golden dragon claw.
"You dare touch my person!"
A domineering divine voice emanated from the golden dragon soul, instantly tearing the black dragon claw to shreds.
After the attack, the golden dragon soul dimmed instantly.
On the other side, Di Tian spat out a mouthful of blood, and his black dragon claw split open with bloody cracks.
"Di Tian!"
"Di Tian!"
"Boss!"
The ferocious beasts were suddenly shocked. They stared at Di Tian in disbelief; it was injured!
Biji's swan wings gently brushed against Di Tian's black dragon claws, infusing them with streams of green light.
The wounds on the black dragon claws healed at a visible speed.
Di Tian opened his eyes, his gaze now calm.
He said softly,
"Another god!"
...
Ma Hongjun could sense the changes in the dragon soul. Now dormant, the connection between the dragon soul and the Martial Soul was very clear.
Ma Hongjun had previously guessed that the dragon soul was the spirit of the Martial God's spear, but now it seemed that the dragon soul was more than just a spear spirit.
Just now, the dragon soul had actually borrowed the power of the Martial God.
Although it absorbed the soul power of the Vermilion Bird King and his wife and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, it borrowed the divine might of the Martial God.
The Dragon God must possess consciousness.
All of this made it seem more like another form of messenger.
A messenger of the Martial God!
The Fire Feather Wind Wings flapped wildly, and Ma Hongjun transformed into a streak of light, flying into the distance.
"Hey, kid, where are you going?"
Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm asked with a hint of surprise.
"The far north!"
Ma Hongjun said calmly, a slight smile playing on his lips.
...
North of the continent!
A world of silver and white!
This is a world of ice and snow.
As they drew closer to that white world, the air grew increasingly chilly.
Snowflakes drifted down, blanketing the forest below in white.
Ma Hongjun, with a fiery tail, soared through the air, his crimson flames standing out starkly against the sky. He flew past, and the snowflakes within a hundred-meter radius instantly melted,
turning into rain. "It's raining!" In the Frosty Forest, some Soul Hunter teams were surprised to see the snowflakes turn into rain. They looked up at the sky, where a fiery shadow streaked past. Many Soul Hunter teams noticed it and speculated about the type of Soul Beast. At such a high altitude, ordinary flying Soul Masters couldn't possibly reach. Of course, for these Soul Master teams, mostly around the Soul Master level, their strength limited their imagination and knowledge. Ma Hongjun didn't linger in the Frosty Forest outside, directly entering the icy region. The Frosty Forest was the outer edge of the far north, equivalent to the Southern Fire Domain desert outside the Fire Domain, the outer ring of the Star Dou Great Forest. Most of the Soul Beasts here were under ten thousand years old. "Baby, are you familiar with the far north?" "Don't call me baby, kid. I have a name. I'm called Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. I've cultivated for a million years. At least call me Brother Tianmeng." "Baby Tianmeng, if you're familiar with this place, hurry up and show us the way. We need to find a place to rest first." "You're going too far, human. You should show due respect to a million-year-old soul beast." "I respect you very much, Baby Tianmeng!" ... "I am the embodiment of heroism and chivalry, the king of soul beasts, possessing both wisdom and beauty, an unparalleled powerhouse, having cultivated for a million years, setting the record for the longest lifespan on the Douluo Continent—the Tianmeng Ice Silkworm. What's wrong with you calling me Brother Tianmeng?" "Million-year-old Baby Tianmeng, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health!" "I'm so angry I could die!" Tianmeng finally gave in. It was extremely angry; its originally transparent soul spirit became even more transparent with anger. Ma Hongjun really didn't want to complain anymore. These lies might fool a child. Someone like me, who transmigrated here, knows you, a complete weakling, inside and out. It wasn't that Ma Hongjun disrespected Tianmeng. It was just that seeing its adorable baby appearance, those arrogant big eyes, and that overbearing, delusional idiot, Ma Hongjun simply couldn't bring himself to call it that. Having lived for millions of years, spouting so much nonsense, all it had were eyes and a mouth—nothing else. It was a veritable useless piece of trash, without hands or feet. No domineering presence, just overflowing delusional aura! "Quickly point the way! Where should we land? Don't accidentally fall into the jaws of some ferocious beast again." "You could even stop Di Tian and Xiong Jun, what are you afraid of?" Tianmeng said coldly. "With your strength, you can go anywhere in the far north as long as you avoid two places." "Then tell me quickly, where are those two places? I need to avoid them." "I can tell you, but you have to promise me one thing." "What is it?" "You have to promise me first!" "You have to tell me first, I don't do things that will make me lose out." "I won't let you lose out. After it's done, you'll even get a powerful spirit ring and spirit bone." "Oh, that's great, okay, I promise!" "Wait a minute, if it's so good to me, what's in it for you?" "I'm now one with you, we share the same fate. If you become stronger, I'll naturally benefit too." "It's not that simple, Tianmeng, do you have a silkworm mother here?" Tianmeng's jade-like chubby face flushed red. She said shyly, "No, not at all!" (End of Chapter)
