"My lord, in accordance with your agreement with Qin Xiao, human Soul Masters have once again set foot in the Aquipeia Forest."
"After a period of observation, their behavior has been quite in line, without recklessly killing soul beasts or leaving the designated area."
"This time, humans seem to have kept their promise."
In the Aquipeia Forest, Di Tian said respectfully in front of Gu Yuena.
However, Gu Yuena was lost in her thoughts, not really hearing what Di Tian was saying.
"My lord, my lord?"
After waiting for a long while without receiving any further instructions from Gu Yuena, Di Tian couldn't help but softly call out a couple of times.
"What did you just say?" Gu Yuena frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice.
"It's about the human Soul Masters..." As Di Tian began to repeat himself, he was interrupted by Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena waved her hand lightly, "Just keep an eye on this matter yourself; there's no need to report to me.
Besides, I will be away for some time, you handle all affairs related to the Aquipeia Forest."
Upon hearing these words, a sudden shock surged through Di Tian; he immediately thought of where Gu Yuena implied she was going.
"My lord, please reconsider. The Divine Realm is a tiger's den; it's very dangerous for you to venture deep into it alone.
Furthermore, I feel that Qin Xiao is not so reliable. What if he deceives you into entering the Divine Realm to draw the attention of the Divine Realm's Deities?"
Di Tian couldn't help but speak out to persuade.
He sincerely felt that Qin Xiao was unreliable and definitely didn't harbor any good intentions.
Yet, what kind of being was Gu Yuena to be trifled with by others?
"Enough."
Her voice was cold, "I have my own principles in doing things. You just need to perform your duties well."
She knew Di Tian meant well.
But as the Sovereign of the Soul Beast Clan, how could she not have her own judgment?
The reason she was preoccupied just now was because she had sensed an anomaly in the world.
She was certain that Qin Xiao had fully stepped into the realm of the Divine King.
And he was battling against a mighty being not weaker than a Divine King.
The presence of this individual was also very familiar to Gu Yuena; it was indeed one of the highest Divine Kings in the Divine Realm, the Destruction God.
This confirmed what Qin Xiao had said before, that he truly had become an enemy of the Divine Realm.
Thus, it further solidified Gu Yuena's resolve to cooperate with Qin Xiao.
Moreover, she knew well that if she missed this opportunity, it was uncertain whether she could find another partner for cooperation.
Under multiple factors, she was compelled to take a gamble.
Besides, in the past three years, she had healed all her injuries, entering the Divine Realm was not without self-preservation capabilities; she could fully afford to make a bold move.
Di Tian lowered his head and said no more.
Seeing this, Gu Yuena's expression softened a bit, "I am aware of your concerns, but I am after something significant this time; how could I possibly be utterly sure of success.
Just remember, if I do not return from this journey and if Qin Xiao is also defeated, when the Divine Realm's Deities arrive, try to avoid conflict with them as much as possible to preserve the last lineage of the Soul Beast Clan."
This was like making a will...
Hearing Gu Yuena's words, Di Tian's heart trembled intensely.
He clenched his teeth, striving to keep his emotions in check, not letting his sorrow show.
But the tears still betrayed him, trickling down from the corners of his eyes.
He had no choice but to bow his head, so Gu Yuena couldn't see his face.
However.
What he didn't know was that after Gu Yuena had spoken those words, her figure had already quietly vanished into thin air.
...
Elsewhere.
Thunder Emperor City.
Bi Bidong and Qiandaoliu almost simultaneously looked up in the same direction.
Their gaze seemed to reach the distant sea, watching the battle unfolding between Qin Xiao and the Destruction God King.
What must come, will always come.
Hopefully, everything will be safe and sound this time.
...
"Boom!"
Another fierce collision occurred, and a pitch-black crack dozens of miles long appeared in the void.
In the center of the crack, a figure was plummeting.
It was the Destruction God King.
At this moment, he was extremely disheveled, his robes torn, his hair a mess, wildly dancing in the wind.
The front of his garment was soaked with blood.
In contrast, Qin Xiao was also a bit disheveled, his body bearing some wounds, with bright red blood flowing. However, his aura was far more powerful than that of the Destruction God King.
He was standing upon a Thunder Dragon, holding the Heaven Saint Crack Abyss Halberd, diving down with a fierce momentum.
The Destruction God King was stunned.
Was this guy truly a newly ascended Divine King?
He could now completely overwhelm him in battle.
Or is it that a Divine King who has not fused with a godhood but achieved it through self-enlightenment was this formidable?
By now, he had a clear understanding of Qin Xiao's combat prowess; a single Divine King was definitely no match for him, and it would take at least two Divine Kings to contend with Qin Xiao.
Absolutely ridiculous.
'No, I can't keep clashing head-on with him. Otherwise, I might really die here.'
Since the Destruction God King realized Qin Xiao's strength, naturally he wouldn't be stubborn enough to fight Qin Xiao to the death.
But with Qin Xiao's attack bearing down on him powerfully, he had no choice but to come up with a countermeasure.
'Ordinary attacks are unlikely to hold up. It seems I have to pay some price!'
The Destruction God King looked at the Scepter of Destruction in his hand, bit his teeth, and then madly injected his divine power and laws into it.
After doing this, he hurled the Scepter of Destruction with all his might.
"Awooo!"
The scepter, once released from the grip of the Destruction God King, immediately transformed into a pitch-black giant dragon.
The scale armor was distinct, and it seemed as vivid as life itself.
Had Qin Xiao not witnessed everything with his own eyes, he might have mistaken it for a real living being.
As for the Destruction God King, he didn't bother to watch the outcome of the attack, but turned and tore open space, diving right into it.
