When Poison Undying challenged Di Tian, he was full of bravado, and now his cry for help was just as deafening.
Xu Xiaoyun's face twitched, and he really wanted to abandon this old man, take his disciples and grand-disciples, and run.
You shouted so loudly just now, I thought you old poison had some tricks up your sleeve I didn't know about. Turns out you're just a weakling, taken down by one claw from Di Tian!
Xu Tianxi whispered, "Grandmaster, can you hold your own against Di Tian?"
Xu Xiaoyun replied calmly, "I don't know. I only know I can't beat him. The title of Beast God isn't for show."
Di Tian is undoubtedly the strongest individual on the continent. Only the Evil Emperor from the Evil Forest can truly contend with him across the entire continent, challenging Di Tian and returning unscathed, thus solidifying his position as the second most ferocious beast. Any human Limit Douluo who has challenged him has met with defeat.
Xu Xiaoyun considered himself extraordinary, but he wasn't so arrogant as to believe he was unprecedentedly strong. He knew he'd be at a disadvantage upon first reaching the Limit Douluo realm, and even if Long Xiaoyao joined, there was no guarantee of a draw. In any case, a combined effort with Poison Undying would definitely not be enough; otherwise, Di Tian wouldn't be the Beast God.
Hearing this, Xu Tianxi quietly moved behind the Emperor Auspicious Beast's head and exchanged a glance with Xiao Changfeng.
Xiao Changfeng understood, flapping his wings to get closer to the Emperor Auspicious Beast, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
The Beast God's power was beyond imagination. If he intended to keep everyone here today, they would have to take a hostage to protect themselves.
Just then, the black dragon phantom, which had been circling in the sky, moved again. Its dragon tail swept down like a divine whip lashing the heavens. The green giant deep in the earth flipped into the air, crossing its arms in front of it, ready to block, as its seventh and eighth Soul Rings simultaneously flared with light.
"Di Tian, I, Poison Undying, am not made of mud! If you want to kill me, I'll tear a layer of dragon scales off you first! Eighth Soul Skill, Death Feast!"
Accompanying Poison Undying's roar, streams of green light emanated from him, piercing through the night sky. Each green light contained corrosive poison, his most powerful area-of-effect Soul Skill.
"Hmph!" Di Tian said nothing, standing motionless in the air. A black light surged from his chest, forming a spatial black hole several miles in diameter.
A terrifying scene unfolded. The air around Poison Undying twisted violently. The immense suction from the black hole made him unstable, and his desperately unleashed Death Feast was completely swallowed by the suction, vanishing into the black hole.
"*Clang—!*"
At the same time, the dragon tail of the massive black dragon phantom slammed onto Poison Undying's crossed arms. The dark green giant's body shook violently, then it plummeted like a meteor from outer space at an almost imperceptible speed, hitting the ground with earth-shattering force.
The entire Star Dou Great Forest seemed to tremble at that moment, dust flying, blood splattering across the sky.
Having injured Poison Undying with two moves, Di Tian calmly stated, "Poison Undying, I have been in the same realm as you human Limit Douluo for hundreds of thousands of years. In terms of Spatial Attainment alone, you have no chance of contending with me."
"Although the God Realm restricts us soul beasts from becoming gods, on the Douluo Continent, no human will ever be my match."
With that, Di Tian's gaze shifted slightly, and the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King phantom behind him changed again, spewing Dark Dragon Flame, surging and scorching, sweeping across the world and engulfing Poison Undying in the deep pit.
A hundred years ago, during the Shrek battle, Shrek City barely managed to force him back with the power of the Golden Tree. If it were a one-on-one fight, no human would be his match. Not to mention that Poison Undying wasn't a Limit Douluo; even if he were, Di Tian could erase him at some cost.
But the next moment, Di Tian's eyes flickered, noticing something unusual. From within the deep pit, a considerable spatial fluctuation suddenly emerged. Black Water enveloped Poison Undying, transferring him out of thin air.
"Humans, you saved the Auspicious Beast earlier, and I did not wish to attack you. But that does not mean you have the right to provoke me."
His gaze fell upon Xu Xiaoyun near the Emperor Auspicious Beast and Poison Undying, who was left gasping on the ground. Di Tian's low voice carried a hint of indifference.
Xu Xiaoyun smiled, shaking his head, and met Di Tian's gaze. "The Beast God's name shakes the heavens. My meager abilities are certainly no match. But who made this old poison a human? I came out with him this time, and if he doesn't return, it would be difficult for me to explain."
Di Tian chuckled, "For the past hundred years, I haven't heard of any new Limit Douluo emerging among humans. It seems you've just reached the Limit Douluo realm and are full of vigor, wanting to test me?"
"I wouldn't dare. I just wish for the Beast God to show mercy and leave this old poison a breath of life."
Xu Xiaoyun gently rose into the sky, leveling his gaze with Di Tian. Nine Soul Rings slowly ascended, with the sixth and seventh merging into one, transforming into a crimson, blood-like Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring.
The next instant, a surging Soul Power storm erupted from his body, condensing into a colossal Black Tortoise phantom prostrate across the world. The Soul Power storm covered everything, tearing through a small section of the eternal night sky.
Di Tian's eyelids drooped. "Human, those two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings on you can easily incite my wrath."
Xu Xiaoyun shook his head. "Di Tian misunderstands. Both of my Soul Rings originated from Sea Soul Beasts and have no connection to your Star Dou Great Forest. You wouldn't possibly meddle with the sea, would you?"
"I can swear that as long as I live, my Xuan Ming Lineage will never enter your Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beasts. We absolutely do not wish to see a war between humans and beasts, with lives lost. I imagine you also do not wish to see a massive sacrifice of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Di Tian's expression softened slightly upon hearing this, and he let out a soft snort. "Very well then. For the sake of you saving the Auspicious Beast, you and Poison Undying can come at me together. If you can survive my attacks, I will spare his pathetic life!"
Di Tian saw clearly that the human expert with the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul had locked onto the Auspicious Beast's vital points. The meaning was obvious: they intended to use the Auspicious Beast to escape alive.
His Spatial Attainment was exceptional, but he didn't want to gamble with the Auspicious Beast's life. Xu Xiaoyun's attitude was good, and as a Limit Douluo, he had the qualifications to speak with him.
Poison Undying's life could be taken at any time, but risking the Auspicious Beast for it was absolutely not worth it. Moreover, he only said he would spare Poison Undying's pathetic life, not that he would allow Poison Undying to return unharmed.
Xu Xiaoyun gently nodded. "Then I shall be arrogant for once. It would be disrespectful not to obey."
With that, Xu Xiaoyun glanced at Poison Undying, whose arms were nearly dislocated, and sighed, "Old poison, this time I've risked my life and fortune for you. If you survive, remember your promise."
Poison Undying responded, shouting, "I never owe favors! If I get out alive this time, even if I don't find any treasures, I'll give you that thing!"
"Come on, old turtle, this time I'll go with you! Let's have a good fight with this Golden Eyed Black Dragon King!"
"Alright." Xu Xiaoyun nodded, casually pointing a finger towards the sky, piercing through the turbulent winds and summoning thousands of Black Water.
"Divine Beast Black Tortoise, trying to create a favorable combat environment to enhance your fighting power? A bit clever."
Di Tian saw through Xu Xiaoyun's intentions, a flicker of approval in his eyes that instantly vanished. Then, his body moved, appearing like a ghost in front of Xu Xiaoyun, delivering a silent punch.
The moment his fist struck, the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King in the sky also let out a roar.
"Such a fast Beast God!"
Xu Xiaoyun's expression was slightly startled, his eyes instantly turning profound black. He moved his hands back and forth like tai chi, conjuring a golden water shield to meet Di Tian.
Behind him, the Golden Black Tortoise suddenly charged forward, fearlessly colliding with the Golden Eyed Black Dragon King, the divine turtle breathing, the giant snake dancing.
The sky suddenly darkened, then brightened immensely, and terrifying Soul Power fluctuations instantly erupted outwards from the two top-tier powerhouses.

The energy level of this collision far surpassed the earlier clash between Poison Undying and Di Tian. Within a hundred square kilometers, all clouds and mist vanished. The Star Dou Great Forest was bathed in sunlight, yet no ray could penetrate the two distinctly different black energy masses that were crushing each other.
"And me! Di Tian, you should also experience the power of my Body Martial Soul's Golden Grade Awakening!"
Poison Undying, revitalized, shot into the sky. A green soul light enveloped his body as he plunged into the battlefield, appearing beside Xu Xiaoyun.
At that instant, three energy masses clashed fiercely in the sky. With his Golden Grade Awakening, Poison Undying's power temporarily reached the Limit Douluo level. For now, it could be seen as two human Limit Douluo-level powerhouses battling Beast God Di Tian.
At this moment, not only were Xu Tianxi and Xiao Changfeng stirred and their eyes gleaming, but even Jing Hongchen, hidden in the shadows, felt an inexplicable surge of passion and proudly puffed out his chest.
His stance aligned with Xu Xiaoyun's and largely with Poison Undying's, though he hadn't yet formed an enmity with Poison Undying as in the original story. In the face of a human-beast conflict, he naturally sided with the human powerhouses.
What a pity, though. His strength was still a considerable distance from the Limit Douluo level. Although he carried some powerful, trigger-activated Soul Guided Devices, confident they could send a powerhouse of Poison Undying's caliber to his grave, those were mutually destructive measures, not to be used lightly.
I wonder what it would be like if Old Man Kong made a move? It's been decades since I last saw him fight.
The Emperor Auspicious Beast was unaware that Xiao Changfeng had locked onto its vital point. It stared coldly at Poison Undying, a clear and melodious female voice emanating from its mouth:
"That despicable old human scoundrel is truly hateful. I curse you to die a miserable death, plagued by endless bad luck!"
Xu Tianxi felt a slight flush of embarrassment listening nearby. He didn't know if the Emperor Auspicious Beast's curse would work, but from the current situation, Poison Undying was certainly not having good luck, and his future was unlikely to end well.
The Golden Eyed Black Dragon King's strength was undeniably the strongest on the continent, unshakeably powerful. Xu Tianxi had once considered using his Ultimate Water to boost Xu Xiaoyun, but quickly discarded the idea.
If Xu Xiaoyun and Poison Undying went up against Di Tian, Di Tian might not fight seriously. But if Xu Tianxi were to provide a boost, and Xu Xiaoyun used Ultimate Water to catch Di Tian off guard, Di Tian might unleash his true power in anger and fight Xu Xiaoyun to the death.
At that point, Xu Tianxi could only pray that the Heavenly Tyrant Ancestor's tortoise shell would be useful, able to summon the Heavenly Tyrant Ancestor to fight Di Tian. But this matter originally had nothing to do with them; they had no reason to fight to the death, much less to use their life-saving trump cards for Poison Undying.
This guy's attack on the Emperor Auspicious Beast drew Di Tian out. It would be good enough if he simply survived.
As time passed, Xu Xiaoyun and Poison Undying's energy masses began to show signs of weakness. Di Tian seemed to have become serious; the black dragon's light-shadow moved its head and tail, striking the Black Tortoise giant beast, known for its strong defense, causing it to retreat repeatedly. The green giant that Poison Undying had transformed into was a particular target.
Ten patches of blood mist scattered from the sky, nine of which were dark green. It was uncertain how much strength Poison Undying would have left after this battle.
"Di Tian is Di Tian. He holds the upper hand even against two opponents," Xu Tianxi sighed softly. He wasn't surprised by this outcome, but seeing it unfold still felt incredibly terrifying.
Xiao Changfeng and Jing Hongchen, hidden in the shadows, had grim expressions. Their strength was close to the world's peak, allowing them to discern some subtleties. The more they understood, the more they realized the Beast God's power.
The only one happy there was the Three-Eyed Golden Lion. Completely unaware that Xiao Changfeng had locked onto its vital point, it bounced and leaped with joy, speaking in human tongue, its voice clear and pleasant.
"I knew Di Tian was the strongest! That old human scoundrel is no match for him!"
Seeing that the young human who had saved her looked a bit down, the Emperor Auspicious Beast, in her joy, uncharacteristically put aside her dislike for humans and rubbed her fur against his wrist, giggling:
"Young man, you don't need to worry about the other old man. Di Tian always settles scores fairly. You saved me, so he won't kill anyone."
This young man has the scent of two types of Soul Beasts on him, both tortoise-type Soul Beasts. So fragrant…
Xu Tianxi tilted his head to look at the big golden cat, suppressing the urge to pet it a few times as he forced a smile: "Then I should thank the Beast God for going to the trouble of sparring with my Grandmaster. It's truly great luck for him to encounter the strongest in the world right after breaking through to the limit."
"Mm-hm, just relax," the Three-Eyed Golden Lion shook its head, a hint of curiosity appearing in its middle eye. It asked, "Young man, where are you from? Is the human world fun?"
