Chapter 224 Lake of Life, Central Island.
"Bear Lord, stop! Have you forgotten what I told you?! If you want to die, I can grant your wish."
A deep voice, familiar to Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, echoed from the Star Dou Great Forest. The voice, initially low and hoarse, instantly roared like thunder. The overwhelming pressure seemed to dim the sky.
The next moment, a black barrier appeared before Chen Xin and the others, and with a piercing scraping sound, it blocked Bear Lord's terrifying attack.
The moment the voice appeared, Bear Lord's expression changed drastically. Then, as the claw light of the Sky-Rending Claw, which had shot out across the sky, dissipated into the horizon, Bear Lord abruptly withdrew his hand.
Xuan Mo's grip on the Emperor's Scale loosened slightly, and his gaze met Ning Rongrong's.
"Di Tian, why? I..."
A low, buzzing sound emanated from Xiong Jun's mouth, revealing a hint of reluctance. His eyes, filled with a fierce red light, stared at Chen Xin.
"Xiong Jun, do you intend to disobey my orders!?"
Di Tian's deep voice was now laced with anger, and then a pair of eyes appeared in the dim sky.
Suddenly, the eyes in the sky lit up, their bright gold radiating a terrifying majesty. The kingly pressure condensed into a tangible form, transforming into a golden shield that directly enveloped Xiong Jun.
Xiong Jun's voice abruptly stopped, the anger on his face instantly turning into fear. A dark golden halo emanated from his body, resisting Di Tian's pressure.
"I'm warning you for the last time, don't try to anger me!"
"I understand."
Sensing Di Tian's anger, Xiong Jun immediately quieted down, lowering his proud head and responding unwillingly.
"Bring that kid over... and that little tiger too."
As soon as the words fell, Di Tian's voice vanished instantly, the previously dim sky returned to normal, and the oppressive aura that had filled the area disappeared in an instant.
Immediately afterward, Xiong Jun unleashed two dark golden streaks, directly engulfing Xuan Mo and the Heavenly Tiger, then carrying them like a dark golden meteor, flying towards the center of the Star Dou Great Forest, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Chen Xin was about to grit his teeth and give chase when Ning Rongrong stopped him, "Grandpa Sword, no need to chase."
"Huh? Rongrong, you…"
Chen Xin's pale face showed surprise. He had just been about to fight to the death for Ning Rongrong's sake.
But to his surprise, Ning Rongrong suddenly stopped him. Just as Chen Xin was puzzled…
"Uncle Jian, they mean no harm now, and Xiao Mo will only be gone for an hour at most. We can just wait here."
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, taking a deep look in the direction Xiong Jun had led Xuan Mo away, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"Xiong Jun, Di Tian... there are actually several extremely powerful Title Douluos standing behind Xiao Mo. I really didn't expect that..."
Just now, after Xuan Mo learned that Xiong Jun was sent by Di Tian to find him, he explained the situation to Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong, and had Ning Rongrong testify that they had met with Di Tian more than half a year ago.
So, with Ning Fengzhi's concern and Ning Rongrong's worry, Xuan Mo was directly taken away by Xiong Jun.
As for the dead Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear and the living Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, Xiong Jun disposed of them separately.
At this moment.
In mid-air of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Xiong Jun's body began to shrink rapidly, returning to human form. At this moment, two strands of dark golden light emanated from his body, enveloping Xuanmo and the Heavenly Tiger, carrying them towards the core area at an extremely fast speed.
"Human, although I don't know why Di Tian wants to see you, none of you humans are good!"
Hearing Xiong Jun's words, Xuanmo didn't respond. He was well aware of the hatred most soul beasts harbored towards humans, but this was not something he could resolve with his current strength.
Therefore, Xuanmo was now pondering Di Tian's purpose.
"This time, why does Di Tian want to see me..."
Soon, Xiong Jun carried Xuanmo through the thick canopy of trees, slowly descending. Clearly, they had arrived at the core area.
At this moment, what came into Xuanmo's view was a lake.
Even though Xuanmo already knew this, he was still shocked. The size of this lake was comparable to West Lake in his previous life.
The lake was as smooth as a mirror, the pale green water resembling a piece of the most beautiful natural jade, shimmering with a vibrant green light. Around the lake, towering ancient trees reached into the clouds.
A light mist hung over the lake, and the moist air carried the unique fragrance of plants. At its center lay an island.
Here, life teemed, its vitality and spiritual energy no less than that of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.
"Lake of Life, it's been a long time."
At that moment, the sigh of the Ice and Fire Dragon King echoed in Xuan Mo's mind, filled with a sense of vicissitude.
"Uncle Fire, Uncle Ice..."
"Young Mo, we know what you want to ask. But let's talk about it another time. Now, that brat Di Tian is coming to find you."
Just as the Ice and Fire Dragon King finished speaking, Di Tian's voice rang in Xuan Mo's ear, "Isn't it beautiful here?"
Xuan Mo looked in the direction of the voice and saw Di Tian, now in human form, standing before him.
"Di Tian, I'm leaving now."
Xiong Jun ignored Xuan Mo and, upon seeing Di Tian, handed him over to him, then transformed into a stream of dark golden light and hurried towards the island.
Di Tian didn't stop him, instead staring at Xuan Mo, quietly awaiting his answer.
Xuan Mo didn't hesitate.
"This can be described as a paradise on earth," Di Tian said calmly. "The Lake of Life existed millions of years ago, nurturing all the creatures of the Star Dou Great Forest. Calling it the origin of the Soul Beast race is no exaggeration."
His eyes were filled with awe as he spoke.
Xuan Mo stood silently beside him, watching Di Tian until his emotions subsided.
Three breaths later, Di Tian looked at Xuan Mo and asked, "Do you know why I had Xiong Jun bring you here?"
"Why?"
Xuan Mo asked instinctively upon hearing Di Tian's words.
Unexpectedly, Di Tian remained silent, instead glancing at the Heavenly Tiger and Xuan Mo before waving his right hand. A flash of black light swept them up, carrying them towards the island in the center of the lake.
"Don't rush, I'll explain everything to you once we get there..."
