Chapter 534: Dian Wei's Eighth Ring: The Dark Devilgod Tiger

The journey was smooth and uneventful.

Feihuang and the group returned to the Gulei Kingdom successfully.

Just as Qian Renxue had said, Bibi Dong did not send anyone to take action in the end, because due to the deterrence of Nan Feihuang, she knew that no matter how many people she sent, they would only be going to their deaths.

"Greetings, my Lord!"

Xun Yu led the others forward to welcome them, and Feihuang's gaze swept over them.

Xun Yu was now at level 75, while Nan Feiling and Shui Bing'er were both at level 66; all of them had made some progress, showing that they were still very diligent in their cultivation.

He nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the last person, Dian Wei, and was suddenly startled, "Level 83, how is that possible?"

Dian Wei had only just broken through to level 80 not long ago; even if he had absorbed a very powerful Spirit Ring, reaching level 82 would have been the limit, so how could he have broken through three levels in a row? Could it be that the eighth ring he absorbed was of the Ten-Thousand-Year Level? "Very shocked, aren't you, Huang'er? Actually, Mother was also very shocked. Dian Wei absorbed a very powerful Spirit Ring; although its age was only sixty thousand years, its power was stronger, not weaker, than a hundred-thousand-year one," Lan Xue said with a smile.

It was she who had taken him to hunt for Dian Wei's Spirit Ring.

But this time, even she had almost capsized, because the opponent's abilities were truly too bizarre—it could actually control time and space.

After listening to his mother's account, Nan Feihuang said, "Stronger than a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Ring and possessing space and time attributes—could it be the Dark Devilgod Tiger?"

"As expected of Huang'er, truly clever!" Lan Xue laughed. "It was indeed the Dark Devilgod Tiger. It used a sneak attack to pull Dian Wei into an alternate space to fight. For a time, even I could not intervene and could only worry from the outside. Fortunately, the combat power of your vanguard was unexpectedly strong; he actually managed to slash and kill it within the Dark Devilgod Tiger's space and successfully returned after absorbing the Spirit Ring."

Although Lan Xue spoke very lightly, something important must have happened during that time; it was just that she could not see it and therefore did not know.

It seemed he would have to properly ask E Lai later.

"Alright, Huang'er, we can discuss these matters later. This time you have broken through to Title Douluo and led the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and the Brute Force Sect to successfully secure the position of the Upper Three Sects, greatly boosting our nation's prestige. I have already prepared a victory banquet for you; hurry back to the palace!" Nan Tianchen patted Nan Feihuang on the shoulder and said proudly.

With Nan Feihuang's breakthrough, their family of three were now all Title Douluo; there were few such families in the history of Spirit Masters.

Besides, there was one other person as happy as he was.

That was the Brute Force Sect Master Jia Chong. His sect was originally a small one that couldn't even reach the Lower Four Sects, but unexpectedly, it had now leaped to become one of the Upper Three Sects, which could be called bringing honor to his ancestors.

Looking at Yu Yuanzhen's expression, however, it remained plain and indifferent. Although his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family had reached the position of the head of the Upper Three Sects as he had wished, this fellow was very concerned with face; he believed that his position as the head of the Upper Three Sects was not deserved.

He had not truly surpassed the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect of the past; it was only because one had gone into seclusion and the other had been destroyed that he had managed to pick up the scraps, so it was not an honorable rise to power.

Now, Yu Yuanzhen's main goal was to cultivate Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan, hoping that they could both become Title Douluo.

Yu Tianxin had gone to Sea God Island, so he did not need to worry; he believed that the child Tianxin would surely be able to pass the trials and return, at which point all three would be able to reach the Title Douluo realm in the future.

With three Douluo in one family, let's see who would dare to say that their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family's position as the head of the Upper Three Sects was undeserved.

Victory banquets were just a formality, and Feihuang had never liked them much. After dealing with it briefly, he took Dian Wei, Xun Yu, and the others back to the Eastern Palace. "E Lai, tell me about the situation when you encountered the Dark Devilgod Tiger." Nan Feihuang asked.

He had inquired quite a bit about the intelligence of this Spirit Beast, but he had not expected E Lai to encounter it.

That was fine too; using it as an eighth ring was definitely sufficient in weight.

"Yes, my Lord. Actually, my method for defeating the Dark Devilgod Tiger was very simple: I reversed it and utilized its time ability," Dian Wei said. "Inside the alternate space, it used its full strength to reverse time, causing both its own cultivation and mine to regress. I became a child, and it became a cub."

"However, even so, it was still far from being my match, because when our cultivation levels were close, my martial techniques remained, and what I fear least is the tiger species."

Dian Wei had made his name by fighting tigers; yes, compared to Wu Song, Dian Wei was actually the earliest tiger-fighting hero.

The term "Chasing Tiger Over Stream" was invented precisely because of Dian Wei chasing a tiger.

"That Dark Devilgod Tiger saw that it still couldn't beat me, so it continued to reverse time and space until it reversed back twenty years."

"Twenty years ago?" Feihuang was stunned. Dian Wei was exactly twenty years old now; wasn't he not even born twenty years ago?

No, strictly speaking, his body was only twenty, but his soul was not.

"Could it be, E Lai, that you recovered your original power from back then?" Nan Feihuang guessed.

Dian Wei nodded. "More or less. Once it reversed more than twenty years, although my body began to disappear, my soul returned to the state it was in before I came to this world. My soul strength recovered to the level of that time in an instant, and then I used overwhelming mental power to kill the Dark Devilgod Tiger, breaking its time power and space domain."

"Haha, what an unlucky Dark Devilgod Tiger, reversing time too far and actually forcing out your original power. Although it was only soul power, I fear that even a God-level powerhouse might not be able to withstand it. By the way, E Lai, after you hunted the Dark Devilgod Tiger, besides the Spirit Ring, was there anything else? I don't mean a soul bone!" Feihuang immediately pressed.

This was the main reason he had called the two of them over; he knew well that the most precious thing about the Dark Devilgod Tiger was not its Spirit Ring or soul bone.

"My Lord must be talking about this." Dian Wei opened his palm, and in the center of it, he was holding a pitch-black bead. Its color was rich and profound, and it contained extremely vast soul power, not inferior to a Title Douluo.

Feihuang took it excitedly. "That's right, it's this—the Dark Devilgod Tiger's life-origin bead!"

In the original story, Tang San did not obtain this treasure, and as a result, it traveled to the Haomiao Continent and was obtained by Zhou Weiqing; this was the key to Zhou Weiqing's rise.

Without this, let alone becoming the God of Destruction, whether he could even cultivate would have been a question.

The power of this bead far exceeded the Blood Bead that Nan Feihuang had obtained after killing the Blood Tiger back then.

Since Nan Tianchen could use the Blood Bead to become a Title Douluo, then Dian Wei and the others could also use this to complete their breakthroughs at the fastest speed.

Furthermore, this bead possessed six attributes: Evil, time, space, lightning, wind, and power.

If one could gain some insight from it, it would surely allow everyone's strength to increase.
