Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 228 ---

Star Dou Forest's core area, Yunlong was sitting cross-legged with a frown on his face.

"So... What are we going to do?" Di Tian asked while leaning on a tree. "That tiger is quite hard to find."

"Even I had a tough time finding it because the dark devilgod tiger could his it's presence inside of darkness." He continued, which left Yunlong quiet for a moment.

"I had an easy way, don't worry..." Yunlong casually answered while closing his eyes.

Yunlong gradually used Heavenly Eyes' skill and quickly watched over thousands of kilometers with ease. He had his spiritual sense observing every living being inside this forest to the most insignificant details.

He even found a few rare spirit beasts but couldn't really hunt them because of the recent treaty, which was quite a shame.

'I could easily obtain more powerful skills, but whatever...' Yunlong naturally thought so because he obtained several new skills.

The recent fight against the dark creatures' army was a bountiful harvest for him, and even the passive got excessively better.

[Skill Name: Banging Head Against A Iron Wall (Passive)]

[Description: reduce incoming physical damage by 50% and instantly recover one's strength and stamina when receiving life-threatening attack to counterattack enemy]

Yunlong couldn't believe his eyes at first, but considering how much skills abruptly were invested into this passive, it's indeed worth a price.

If he could upgrade this passive more in the future, he probably won't have much problem against a powerful enemy.

"Imagine 100% damage reduction..." Yunlong couldn't help but chuckle slightly.

"Why are you chuckling for no reason?" Di Tian indifferently commented with a frown on his face. "There is nothing funny here."

Yunlong shook his head for a second and continued his keen observation with heavenly eyes.

A few hours later, he suddenly sighed and commented, "This forest excessively too fast."

"Let me help you..." Kaguya calmly said while grasping Yunlong's shoulder.

"I mean, sure." Yunlong nodded his head.

Kaguya slowly flowed her spiritual energy over him and guided his heavenly eyes with such precision.

She ignored almost every creature that didn't match the dark devilgod tiger's appearance and dark attribute, swiftly scanning around without any delay.

"This woman..." Di Tian weirdly stared at Kaguya because of her abnormal spiritual energy control.

Usually, someone would need to match other spiritual energy to form a firm connection, but Kaguya skipped that step and instantly guided Yunlong's vision without any delay.

Di Tian had already sensed Kaguya's vast spiritual energy before, and after months she had tremendously grown.

It was abnormal because even Di Tian, who possessed the dark dragon king's bloodline, didn't grow absurdly in the past.

"Her bloodline is definitely below me, but how could she improve so much in such a short amount of time..." Di Tian muttered with a solemn expression.

"Hmm?" Kaguya tilted her head slightly because she suddenly sensed an abnormality within fabric space kilometers away from this place.

"Can you expand your vision more? I might be able to find the cat." She naturally requested, to which Yunlong responded with a nod.

Yunlong expanded his heavenly eyes without any problem, and Kaguya swiftly grasped a small pocket dimension's location, skillfully hidden from space or spiritual detection.

Kaguya pried slightly into the pocket dimension and discovered a black-furred tiger with a weird scorpion tail sleeping in a comfortable position.

"Is this the cat you searched for...?" Kaguya asked casually. "He's sleeping at the moment."

"Eh, you found it?" Yunlong was amazed for a second.

Di Tian's eyes immediately were widened in awe when hearing Yunlong's statement because his space sense couldn't even find that damned spirit beast, who was hiding for years.

"Where is that tiger?" He asked while approaching them.

Yunlong lifted his body from the ground and replied, "South, thousand miles away from here."

Without further ado, they quickly moved toward the south with Di Tian's space travel, which possessed quite an intriguing concept because they didn't teleport but moved the vacant space itself there.

Unlike Yunlong, who required a spatial mark, Di Tian wouldn't have such a problem with mass teleporting, but both techniques had advantages and disadvantages.

Yunlong's teleportation literally was instantaneous after he marked the place. Di Tian was slower because he should move the space itself toward the location.

They arrived at a small rocky mountain area at Star Dou Forest's south and weirdly discovered nothing but barren lands.

"There." She said while pointing at a cave.

They walked into the dark cave, and the dark devilgod tiger abruptly was awakened by their sudden presence.

Di Tian smirked inside because this spirit beast was trying to run away from him.

"What a funny cat, you want to run? From me?" He coldly commented while sealing the space around them.

BOOM!

The pocket dimension cracked and literally exploded a portion of the cave, revealing a space hole.

ROARRR!

A creature slowly walked out, and it was a dark-furred tiger without any speck of other colors. It's no less than 20 meters long with excessively bulging muscles.

Dark Devilgod Tiger had a king mark on its forehead and possessed a pair of wicked red eyes.

Not only that, but this vicious beast also possessed particular features, a pair of dark wings and a scorpion's tail that shone with a cold gleam.

[Name: Dark Devilgod Tiger]

[Innate Attribute: Evil, Space, Darkness, Wind, Lightning]

[Cultivation Age: 360,000 years old]

[Description: A white tiger tainted by Evil God's presence and evolved into a blood-hungry creature after swallowing thousands of living beings]

[Spirit Skills: Dark Devilgod Thunder, Space Chaos Burst, Wicked Tail Pierce, Violent Storm, Evil God's Wrath]

"Woah, what's wrong with this cat..." Yunlong couldn't help but wonder when reading Dark Devilgod's system panel.

Dark Devilgod Tiger was too strong compared to other spirit beasts in terms of strength. This beast's scanned information alone is enough to prove its absurdity.

"It should have survived for quite a long time." Di Tian frowned because dark devilgod tigers usually would be killed because of their danger to others.

"We should kill it immediately." He added while drawing enormous spirit energy.
