Maple Leaf City, the City Lord's Mansion.

In the hall, Bi Da'er was lounging lazily on the sofa, saying casually to Grelat in front of him, "Speak, what do you want from me?"

"I've already sent someone to the palace to report that you're helping Duke Amon. Tell him to leave quickly," Grelat said in a deep voice.

"Heh… this isn't your style. Is it for your foolish mother and idiotic younger brother?" Bi Da'er smiled.

Grelat was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I sent him. I occasionally like to gamble, after all, this is one of the few opportunities to pull you down from the position of heir. The temptation of becoming an Earl is enough to make people take risks."

"Heh…" Bi Da'er smiled noncommittally, "My actions have no concealment, even a bit flamboyant. Why do you think I'm acting this way?"

"Because you think my foolish younger brother will definitely take action. He has always loved to tattle since he was a child, so he will naturally report this time. Even if he doesn't have this idea, you will use maids, butlers, and the like to exert such influence on him."

Grelat stared at Bi Da'er, paused for a moment:

"Is this what Duke Amon asked you to do? He wants the Empire to know he's here…"

Bi Da'er didn't deny it, leaning forward slightly:

"Grelat, you're a smart man, why not broaden your horizons? Chaos is the ladder of progress, and we ultimately share the same father.

"Now is different from the peaceful times of the past. There are many channels for advancement… If I had known what things would be like today, I wouldn't have returned to Ironheart Territory at all. Instead, I would have followed in the Captain's footsteps like some of the team members.

"If you're willing, I can introduce you to Ilya. That woman has great ambitions. The formation of the Beidi Region's situation five years ago was probably due to her efforts."

Grelat nodded, "Thank you, I will keep an eye on my foolish brother. There won't be a next time."

Bi Da'er nodded slightly, saying with a hint of coldness, "There won't be a next time."

Just then, a terrifying aura came from the distance, that dreadful power like the might of heaven and earth made Bi Da'er and Grelat's expressions change, and they came to the window in horror to gaze into the distance.

Large patches of darkness were slowly approaching, and soon, the entire Ironheart City was placed under that black cloud, the dense darkness seeming to devour everything.

In the darkness, a behemoth slowly revealed its figure.

Sharp claws, sharp fangs, scales covering its entire body like armor, bone spurs curving backward, and golden eyes exuding a rich pressure.

Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian!

Even if they had never seen him before, even if they had only seen the introduction in the brief intelligence reports, Bi Da'er and Grelat simultaneously had his name appear in their minds the moment that monster emerged from the darkness.

"In the information I received, Di Tian launched the beast tide to hunt down Duke Amon… Only after the two great empires issued wanted orders did the soul beasts retreat to Star Dou Great Forest," Grelat said with a heavy expression.

Bi Da'er said in a deep voice, "I also guessed that the Captain was fishing, but I didn't expect he would catch this guy."

"Their battle won't tear down the entire Ironheart City, will it? I heard that Spirit Hall was almost turned into ruins by this Soul Beast King."

Bi Da'er wasn't too sure, "Probably… not, right?"

Seeing that behemoth, Amon, sitting on the edge of a house roof, adjusted his crystal monocle and smiled:

"Finally here…"

He propped himself up on the roof with both hands and suddenly leaped into the air.

Then, stepping on the platforms condensed from soul power, he hopped and skipped to the front of the black dragon:

"Long time no see, Di Tian."

He greeted cheerfully, as if he had met an old friend he hadn't seen for many years.

"Amon… Where is Ziji?" Di Tian asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Ziji? Oh, that Hell Demonic Dragon, I ate her. She tasted pretty good," Amon smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the taste.

The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger that he parasitized ate Ziji, so from a certain point of view, it was correct to say that he ate Ziji.

There was a bit of sadness in Di Tian's eyes, but more was anger, and this anger was quickly hidden… Facing Amon, he had already lost too much.

Moreover, he knew that Amon was a very malicious guy, and his anger would only make him happy.

Noticing the fleeting fluctuation in Di Tian's heart, a malicious smile reappeared on Amon's face:

"Is there a possibility that the 'eat' I said has another meaning? She was a great beauty in her human form, I have the means to force her into human form… Maybe she's still alive."

Hearing this, Di Tian's heart was filled with mixed feelings, both the joy that Ziji might still be alive, the anger that his woman was being humiliated, and the worry about Ziji's current situation…

After absorbing the soul ring of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, Amon's mental power had been greatly improved. After Di Tian's emotions fluctuated greatly, he easily read the other party's thoughts… The smile on his face grew even wider.

Di Tian gathered his mind and said in a deep voice:

"You're not surprised by my arrival, it seems that this is indeed a conspiracy to lure me over. So, is this your main body?"

"Of course… not."

Amon smiled, "For you, the Soul Beast King, how dare I be so careless…

"However, the grudges between us do need to be settled, so my main body will naturally not be too far away."

At this time, in a small town on the Sun Moon Continent, in a slightly old tavern, Amon's main body drank a sip of cheap fruit wine with a local unique fruit flavor, with a smile on his face.

The Amon in front of Di Tian continued, "I don't have the confidence to deal with you with just a few avatars… Of course, I didn't set up any traps in advance… because there's no need.

"I chose this place as the decisive battle location, rather than Spirit Hall, just because it's too close to Star Dou Great Forest.

"After all, I'm also very afraid of the existence that even you need to call 'Master'."

Di Tian's pupils shrank, and he said in a low voice, "You actually know the existence of Master?"

"Um, I was also there when you and that little rabbit came to pay respects," Amon explained.

"Is it really that rabbit? Is she your inside agent?" Di Tian's face was gloomy.

Amon adjusted his monocle and chuckled:

"An inside agent is not quite right, but the difference is not big. I put surveillance methods on her… hm, the Auspicious Beast was an unexpected surprise, my original target was just her.

"Do you have any other questions? I can answer them for you, so you can die knowing."

"Where are Xiong Jun, and the Myriad Demon King?" Di Tian asked.

"Dead."

"Gone...." Di Tian flapped his dragon wings and roared towards Amon.

Amon snapped his fingers, and a black light curtain spread out, enveloping both him and Di Tian.

They came to a gray world, a huge circular arena where Di Tian and Amon stood facing each other.

Twelve pillars were evenly distributed around the edge of the arena, like the markings on a clock.

After Di Tian slightly observed the surrounding environment, he saw the black giant tiger standing on a pillar at a glance.

"This is… the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger?" he said uncertainly.

In his long life, he had naturally seen this rare soul beast many times, but in his impression, the Dark Demonic Evil God Tigers were all muscular and looked extremely sturdy, but what was this in front of him?

Although it was tens of meters long, its size far exceeded any Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger he had ever seen, and its cultivation was also the strongest ever, but it was all fat, as fat as a ball. Looking at it from the front, its height and width were almost equal. Its four fleshy paws were extremely short and stubby, and its round belly could almost drag on the ground.

Seeing the new shape of the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger, Amon was also stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said:

"It ate too well and was a little overnourished. It will naturally become mighty after it is completely digested."

"Eat?" This word keenly caught Di Tian's attention, and his pupils shrank.

Amon said with a smile, "That's right, Xiong Jun, the Myriad Demon King, and Ziji have all entered its belly.

"It seems you care about Ziji very much, don't worry, I'll send you to reunite soon."

"Awoo!" The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger roared very cooperatively, leaping down from the pillar.

The huge body and heavy weight shook the arena.

"Hic…" The Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger burped, and it spoke human words: "The last one, I really can't eat any more."

"Well, the last one, there's really nothing for you to eat for the time being," Amon nodded.

Dense darkness filled the entire arena, and Di Tian's figure was hidden in the darkness.

"Your control over this world is actually not that high, right? The purpose of this space is just to restrict others from leaving…" Di Tian's voice came slowly, echoing from all directions.

Although he didn't know why the Dark Demonic Evil God Tiger would join forces with humans, there was no doubt that it would not be easy to defeat either of the two in front of him alone, so Di Tian also changed his usual head-on style and planned to quickly resolve one of them through the concealment of darkness.

"Heh, darkness…" On Amon's monocle, intense, surging, and terrifying light erupted.

The entire space, not only this narrow arena, but even the more distant places covered by gray mist, were filled with pure, scorching sunlight.

The gray mist temporarily dissipated, revealing the surrounding scenery. This was a desolate and dilapidated ruin, and between the rubble, the former glory of this city could still be faintly seen.

After bidding farewell to an unknown number of years, this former ancient city reappeared in the eyes of mankind.

Amon was also seeing these things for the first time… His control over this arena was limited to the narrow arena, and he could not reach further… This seemed to be the ruins of a certain city in the era of developed soul tools, an unknown number of years ago.

At the same time, the entire Ironheart Territory suddenly ushered in darkness, a darkness more complete than when the black dragon had descended earlier.

Grelat tried to use the light generated by soul skills to illuminate the surroundings, but there was no reaction.

He could feel that the soul skill had taken effect, but there was not a trace of light.

It was as if the light had been stolen by some being.

Di Tian stared blankly at the "light" that illuminated everything, and the surrounding ruins, and couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
