Chapter 197 - Chaos and Di Ti

Chapter 197: Chapter 186 Chaos and Di TiFrom the wasteland breaking through the Second Transition, after being bestowed the title of lord by the War God, Lu Hong finally discovered the use of his Blood Lord title — it attracted bosses.

"Human, lapdog of the gods!" Chaos descended upon Lu Hong with a terrifying pressure, and in just an instant, it gave Lu Hong the false impression he had died once.

Like blazing flames, the Judgment Dual Blades emerged from his chest, entirely blocking the aura of Chaos.

"Indeed." Seemingly confirmed, the sky shattered abruptly, and an enormous scaly claw, whose end was unseen, harshly smashed down from the heavens.

Even the old blue dragon’s azure face turned deathly pale: "It’s over, we’re going to die."

Escape was absolutely impossible, for Chaos’ size was simply too vast; even if Lu Hong possessed the speed of light, he likely couldn’t escape the grasp of those Five Finger Mountains.

"Can’t we just talk this out?!" Lu Hong shouted, "I really don’t know anything!"

"No matter, killing you will be enough." Chaos completely dismissed Lu Hong’s explanation, and in the final moment before its claw struck, a sharp cry accompanied by endless golden light spread from the void.

Chaos had no choice but to retract its arm, instead shifting to defense.

The next second, the dazzling golden light fiercely collided with Chaos, knocking it into the deep space beyond the plane.

"Di Ti! You’ve crossed the line!" Chaos roared, but the only response was the sharp cries as the golden light attacked again.

It seemed Di Ti had intentions of protecting the plane; their battle gradually moved into the Star Sea, and Lu Hong could only perceive the infinite power from the gray and gold light in the sky, unable to see the details of the fight.

"What exactly are you?!" the old blue dragon demanded angrily, distressed by Lu Hong’s suffering.

"I’m just an ordinary human; the title of Blood Lord was bestowed upon me by the War God." Lu Hong knew why Chaos had come, but he didn’t understand the implication behind the title.

"You’re a lord, a spokesperson for the Heavenly God, why are you so weak?" The old blue dragon sighed helplessly: "This time you’ve really doomed us. If the Divine Beast hadn’t arrived in time, both of us would be nothing but a pool of flesh now."

"Will Di Ti win?" Although Lu Hong didn’t know Di Ti’s intention, it seemed somewhat better than Chaos’ malice.

"Can’t you see for yourself?" the old blue dragon’s deep blue eyes glimmered, his gaze piercing through distant clouds, reaching the Star Sea beyond the plane: "It’s alright, the Divine Beast is an old god beast after all, and it’s currently suppressing Chaos."

"How can I see for myself?" Lu Hong grumbled, "If I could do that, why would I ask you?"

"Can’t see?" The old blue dragon was somewhat astonished: "I see divine intent in your right eye, don’t you know how to use it?"

Lu Hong shook his head: "I haven’t learned how."

"Noob!" The old blue dragon scoffed: "The shackles on your right eye have been unlocked, yet you still don’t know how to use it, truly laughable."

"You know how? Teach me!" Lu Hong had been vexed about this; the right eye was a divine item bestowed by the Demon Ancestor. If he could unlock its power, it would definitely be an ultimate trump card, possibly even capable of soloing a Third Transition powerhouse.

"Heh." The old blue dragon sneered: "It’s not a treasure given to me by the Heavenly God, how would I know how to use it?"

"But I guess it’s probably because your level is too low. Being low-level means you don’t even meet the threshold to activate the treasure." The old blue continued: "Stop slowly laying the foundation and hurry up to level up. You can consider the Third Transition later; the initial Third Transition doesn’t greatly enhance oneself anyway."

Don’t I want to? It’s not like Lu Hong wasn’t suppressed by that experience bar, but upon deeper thought, could meditation and leveling through battle possibly be done simultaneously?

As they talked, the battle in the Star Sea seemed to have nearly ended silently; golden brilliance painted the entire sky, sweeping away the gray aura of Chaos.

Then, two streaks of light flew from beyond the heavens, landing beside Lu Hong.

One, a female in human form radiated dazzling golden light; it seemed she was the incarnation of Di Ti.

As for the one on the right, it was a seven-year-old child, emitting a gray mist all over.

"Alas, old dragon has met the Emperor Beast, the two sovereigns of chaos!" The massive body of the old blue dragon sprawled on the ground, and, to show sincerity, he actually knocked his head into the soil.

"Human, what is your purpose for coming to the Endless Forest?" The chattering voice of Chaos had an infantile tone, almost like a low-grade version of Tong Shuai.

"Me?" Lu Hong gave a wry smile and said, "I’m just here to participate in the trial."

"Trial? The trial of the gods?" Chaos’s faint eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he huffed, "I knew it wasn’t anything good. Besides you, are there other lords who have sneaked into the Endless Forest?"

"No, no, no." Lu Hong quickly explained the reasons for his visit in detail.

"Just,,,,,just that?" Chaos blinked, "You’re not here to scout and prepare to invade this place?"

At this point, Di Ti spoke, "You are at the level of a Heavenly God Demon Beast; can’t you even distinguish whether what a mere Second Transition junior says is true or false?"

"Hmph!" Facing the ridicule from Di Ti, Chaos dared not speak back, unable to fight and only able to admit defeat, "Just you wait, one day I will defeat you!" He then waved his small, powdery fists, which looked rather cute.

"You?" Di Ti scoffed dismissively and then turned to Lu Hong, "Messenger of the Heavenly God, since you’re here to complete the Roland trial, may I ask if you need help?"

Di Ti’s words left a strange feeling in Lu Hong, suggesting that Di Ti’s survival from the Era of the Gods wasn’t just a matter of luck.

"Um,,,,,I’m not sure. I should be able to manage on my own; thank you for the kind offer, Emperor Beast." Lu Hong, adopting the old blue dragon’s form of address, expressed his gratitude to Di Ti.

"You’re welcome. As a lord, you represent the Heavenly God in the mortal realm; it’s normal for you to receive such courtesies," Di Ti spoke, then glanced towards Chaos and added, "Only someone presumptuous like him would dare to act so brazenly."

"Hey, hey, you stinkin’ woman, what did you just say? He’s just a lord, not a Heavenly God; why should I be afraid of him?"

"What? Want to fight?" Di Ti stepped forward, looming over Chaos’s small form, "I could knock you down with one hand!"

"I’ll fight you!" Chaos swung his small fists, desperately thumping against Di Ti’s legs.

"Little brat." Di Ti kicked him aside, "Go back and sleep. Do you know how much disaster your awakening has brought upon the Endless Forest?"

"It’s my territory, none of your business!" Chaos, kicked away by Di Ti, dusted himself off and said, "At worst, I’ll just level them up to compensate."

Di Ti’s expression suddenly turned grave as he grabbed Chaos’s small head and knocked it repeatedly, "How many times have I told you, so many times! Do not interfere with the normal growth of your subjects. Your domain is already harmful to them, let alone accelerating their growth, which could force a genetic mutation!"

"I get it, I get it, stop hitting me!" Chaos cried out, "I’ll go back to sleep, just stop hitting me!"

"That’s more like it." Di Ti dropped Chaos and stepped back in front of Lu Hong, "Well, sorry to have caused a scene, but as you know, handling a bunch of brats is no easy task."

Indeed, besides Di Ti, the other divine beasts were comparatively young; the Endless Forest was like an older sister taking care of a group of kids.

"Um, no problem, I can pretend I didn’t see anything."

"You’d better understand, otherwise I,,,,," Chaos wanted to threaten Lu Hong, but with a stern glare from Di Ti, he quickly scampered off.

"Since your life is no longer at risk, I’ll take my leave. If you need help, just wave this feather, and I will come as soon as possible." After speaking, Di Ti transformed into a stream of light and flew into the sky, then a ten-meter-long golden feather crashed to the ground with a thud, throwing Lu Hong several meters away.

Is this really Di Ti’s feather? How am I supposed to wave this? Lu Hong smacked his lips, remarking to himself about the inconvenience of even storing it in the Space Ring.

"Hey, hey!" Lu Hong kicked the old blue dragon still burying its head in the soil, "Both divine beasts have left, get up!"

"They left?" The old blue dragon slightly raised his head, confirming no one else was around before fully getting up. Seeing the enormous feather before him, he didn’t get scared back into the ground, "My goodness, is this the Emperor Beast’s feather?"

"Yes, he left it for me, but how do I collect it?"

The old blue dragon volunteered to use magic to shrink the feather continuously until it was the size of a palm, passing it to Lu Hong, "This feather of the Emperor Beast, you better keep it safe. It can help you withstand a hit even from a Heavenly God Level."

"Heh heh, thanks." Lu Hong was quite content with the treasure, though the process had been a bit thrilling, the outcome was gratifying.
