Chapter 620.2 - Flying Dagger

Huo Yuhao? The person who created the Spirit Pagoda?

Why is it him? Why does he want to kill Di Tian? When did he become so powerful?

The Emerald Swan could not understand what was happening. At the same time, she was very saddened to see what had happened.

Di Tian…

After releasing that dagger, Huo Yuhao had to stay where he was for a couple of seconds. The blow itself had expended too much of his energy.

Crying Guanyin: Guanyin’s Tear! This was the Tang Sect’s most powerful hidden weapon technique. Huo Yuhao did not try to form Guanyin’s Tears, because he knew that a normal Guanyin’s Tear would never be able to destroy Di Tian. Instead, he used his Ghostcarving Blade—the second blade Rong Nianbing had given him.

I don’t remember being penetrated by any weapon or attack… Hundreds of thousands of years of memories started to stream through Di Tian’s head. Right now, everything seemed to have lost its meaning after he had been defeated by Huo YUhao.

When Di Tian was still young, he had been doted by the Dragon God. Afterward, the Dragon God had fallen and transformed into two Dragon Kings. Following which, Dragons started to fall as a race. Everything until now was running through his head like a tape recording.

As his life energy started to flow away, Di Tian simply closed his eyes. The sensation of being liberated was extremely calming. Even though it was a little disappointing to end just like this, it was ultimately the end!

“Beast God.” Suddenly, Huo Yuhao’s voice entered Di Tian’s head. Huo Yuhao’s chilling voice woke him up from his dreamy state.

Di Tian opened his eyes, and was shocked to realize that his life energy was not fading away at a very fast rate.

Why is that?

Di Tian immediately looked down at the wound in his chest.

This isn’t a fatal wound!

Everyone at Di Tian’s level knew that attacking the head was the easiest way to take someone’s life. However, Huo Yuhao, for some strange reason, had not chosen to attack his head. This was something which was hard to comprehend. Even though the blade intent and the Space-Time Light were ravaging his body, Di Tian should still be able to survive the blow.

Di Tian did not believe that Huo Yuhao had made a mistake. This was something which would never happen.

“Why?” Di Tian asked Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao smiled. “I only want to defeat you, and never wanted to kill you. Have you forgotten? I have made a promise to never voluntarily kill another soul beast.”

“Then what about the Evil Emperor?” Di Tian replied condescendingly.

Huo Yuhao answered regretfully, “It wanted to kill me. I had no choice but to retaliate.”

Di Tian revealed a bitter expression and said, “What a lucky retaliation that was. In the end, you have won.”

Huo Yuhao nodded. At this moment, he was very relaxed. He nodded at Di Tian and said, “Goodbye, Beast God. Perhaps this will be the last time we see each other. However, I still want to thank you for saving my life back then. Without understanding some of your abilities, I would never be able to possess the power I have today. Goodbye, and take care.”

After finishing his sentence, Huo Yuhao waved his hand and disappeared into the space before him.

As he watched Huo Yuhao disappear, the bitter expression on Di Tian’s face intensified. The Beast God had realized how wonderful the sense of liberation was. Without liberation, it meant that he still had to fulfill its duties.

Di Tian slowly landed back in the Great Star Dou Forest from the sky.

The four Savage Beasts stared blankly at him as they watched him land. They had no idea what had happened up there. Even though Di Tian was injured, his aura was still powerful and intimidating.

The Bear King, who was starting to harbor some selfish intentions, immediately lowered his head in fear. He was worried that Di Tian was might learn about his disloyal thoughts.

Di Tian waved his hand at them as he moved to the side of the Lake of Life.

The four Savage Beasts stared at each other before retreating.

“He did not want to kill me. Haha. He did not want to kill me.” Di Tian was overwhelmed by a multitude of emotions. He was laughing and crying at the same time.

At this instant, silver light started to form and move around Di Tian.

“He did not kill you. Even if he wanted to kill you, there is no way that you would die just like this. You still have a responsibility you have to shoulder.” An authoritative voice rang beside Di Tian.

Di Tian was instantly awakened by the voice as he kneeled down on the ground.

“It was precisely because he had no intention to kill you that I had chosen not to intervene. If not, I would risk ending my closed-door cultivation prematurely to kill him.”

Di Tian seemed to have regained its composure as he asked, “But, Master, why did you not stop him from leaving? He possesses the power of destiny! That is something our entire Great Star Dou Forest needs. You also need this power.”

That mysterious voice replied plainly, “The power of destiny belongs to the Douluo Continent. It is not something that anyone can just take away as they please. He is going to leave this world very soon. When he leaves, the power of destiny will naturally be returned to the Great Star Dou Forest. Di Tian, I know you have been very lonely. It must have been very hard for you all these years.”

“Master.” Di Tian continued to kneel on the ground.

“Just bear with it for another ten thousand years. By then, I will have finished my cultivation and recovered from all of my injuries. When I return to this world, you can go and travel around as you please.”

“Yes. Thank you, Master.”

The silver light slowly faded as everything became normal again.

Ten thousand years might be an infinitely long time for a human; however, it was nothing for Di Tian, who had already spent eight hundred thousand years cultivating. In fact, there was now a clear deadline for him to anticipate.

He could not help but reveal a look of genuine excitement and anticipation.

……

A streak of silver light flickered across the sky as Huo Yuhao appeared out of nowhere.

The sky and earth had seemed to become completely different at this instant.

Huo Yuhao could sense how his Spiritual Sea was bubbling and becoming stronger. The six Spirits in his body were also cheering in excitement.

He could also sense how the soul power in his body was transforming and taking on a special aura. These changes were starting to surface from his body.

Di Tian was like a mountain and a barrier for him.

Now that the barrier was no longer able to restrain him, Huo Yuhao had made his final breakthrough.

Huo Yuhao looked up at the sky as he opened his arms wide. At this moment, he felt that heaven and earth had become different. His spirit seemed to be rising and ascending into a different world.

“You have succeeded. Congratulations, Yuhao.” A gentle voice rang in his ear. A faint golden glow started to descend from the sky as it took form before Huo Yuhao’s eyes.

Rong Nianbing was still wearing the same outfit, and was happy to see that Huo Yuhao had finally done it. He was clear how difficult the path he had taken was! Huo Yuhao had conquered more difficult challenges than he had.

“Teacher.” Huo Yuhao respectfully kowtowed to Rong Nianbing. It was only now that he felt that he was sufficiently qualified to call the person before him teacher.

Rong Nianbing smiled and said, “To be honest, I’m not well-suited to be your teacher. Your teacher should be someone else. I am just someone who took advantage of the situation and found a treasure. If not for me, you might not have had to suffer so many tribulations. Nonetheless, you have managed to pull through all of them. Are you ready?”

“Yes.” Huo Yuhao nodded fervently. Of course he was ready. He was going to find his beloved wife! There was no longer anything that could stop his heart. He was raring to fly to the other world. Wutong, I wonder if you are doing fine in that world.

Rong Nianbing nodded as he revealed a serious and solemn expression. He spoke, “I am the God of Emotions. Humans possess a multitude of emotions: happiness, anger, sorrow, and bliss. There is an abundance of unification and separation in a human’s world. There are always positive and negative emotions. What you have to control is the power of emotions. It is now appropriate for me to share more details about our world with you.”

“The Douluo Continent—the place where you have lived for your entire life—is a planet. Other than the Douluo Continent, there are several other planets in this world. All living things on these different planets possess some form of psychokinetic energy. When this energy rises above their bodies, they collectively form a special place. While this place is beyond the realm of planets, it is still intimately tied to them. It is like a space carved out independently by humans. Hence, humans are usually the only entity allowed to enter this realm. This place is called the God Realm.”

“The God Realm houses all the individuals who have exceeded the limitations imposed by their planets. Hence, they can be called Gods. I am an example of a God. Tang Wutong’s father is also another example.”

“To be more precise, I don’t belong to your planet—the Douluo Continent. On the other hand, Tang Wutong’s father came from the Douluo Continent. In fact, you should have heard his name before. He is called Tang San.”

After hearing Tang San’s name, Huo Yuhao could not help but shudder. He never would have expected the woman he loved to be the daughter of the Founder of the Tang Sect.

After seeing how Huo Yuhao’s jaw had dropped, Rong Nianbing could not help but chuckle. “Tang San came from the Douluo Continent. He has always been concerned about it. Tang Wutong is his daughter. Tang San loves his daughter a lot, and hence allowed her to come to the Douluo Continent to train.”

“A God is not allowed to intervene with what happens in the world of the humans. This is true for all planets. Hence, even Tang San can only send his daughter to the continent and seal the part of her memory about the God Realm. This was the reason why both of you were able to meet each other. Tang San had always been observing you. That was why he placed a seal on Tang Wutong. In fact, he has been able to positively influence your development through the little bit of divine sense he has placed in his daughter.”
