19: Chapter 19: The worst outcome would be an endless feud between Shrek Academy and Star Dou Great Forest!

As the voice fell, a violent wind suddenly whipped through the forest in the dark of night.

A massive dark shadow loomed in the clouds; it was a giant dragon, pitch-black all over, its body covered in thick scales stretching a hundred meters long, like a moving mountain. When its huge wings spread, they blotted out the sky, and every scale shimmered with a cold luster in the darkness, as if cast from the deepest obsidian.

Di Tian's fury and killing intent materialized; the sky was instantly shrouded in impenetrable dark clouds, the moon and stars completely swallowed, and bean-sized raindrops poured down without warning, hitting the leaves with a pitter-patter sound. The temperature in the forest plummeted, as if it had instantly fallen into the dead of winter.

"Di Tian!" A hint of gravity flashed in Dragon God Douluo Mu En's eyes, but he showed no fear. He took a step forward, and a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from his body as his Holy Dragon of Light Spirit manifested!

Golden scales emerged from his skin, and his originally hunched body seemed to be reshaped in the light, becoming upright and majestic. The ultimate power of light soared into the sky like the dawn of daybreak, forcibly dispersing part of the dark clouds overhead and allowing a small area to be bathed in holy radiance once again.

Light and darkness, two ultimate powers, collided and confronted each other in the forest, the air seemingly torn apart, emitting a piercing hum.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En was well aware that although the attributes of the Holy Dragon of Light could restrain ultimate darkness, he had absolutely no chance of winning if they really started fighting. After all, Di Tian's cultivation had already reached over eight hundred thousand years, and he himself was still injured, so to achieve his goal, he could only rely on the foundation and leadership of Shrek Academy.

Besides that, what he didn't know was that Di Tian was a descendant of the Dark Dragon King, and that Dark Dragon King was a genuine God King-level existence, a match that not even the Silver Dragon King could overcome.

Furthermore, Di Tian had also obtained the Dragon God's inheritance, the Dragon God Claw, and his cultivation had long reached the peak of the ninety-ninth level Limit Douluo, only a step away from Divinity. Looking across the entire Douluo Continent, there were only a handful of people who could contend with him.

But he could not retreat. Bei Bei was still missing, and Tang Ya had been confirmed dead; as an elder, he had to seek justice for the children.

"Roar—!"

Di Tian let out a deafening dragon roar, his massive body descending from the clouds. His four thick dragon claws stomped onto the ground, causing the entire forest to tremble. His pair of golden vertical pupils, like two dark suns, locked onto Dragon God Douluo Mu En with undisguised killing intent: "Dragon God Douluo Mu En, you brought a group of humans to break into the Star Dou Great Forest and even wanted to make a move on Bi Ji; what exactly are you trying to do?"

His voice rolled like thunder, causing the rainwater to splash in all directions.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En straightened his back, releasing the pressure of the Holy Dragon of Light without reservation. It collided with Di Tian's dark pressure, stirring up ripples of energy: "I only ask you this: did you capture or kill a youth possessing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit?"

"Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Di Tian's golden vertical pupils, and he tilted his huge head slightly, asking: "Who is that? Why would I capture him for no reason? The Star Dou Great Forest isn't so bored that it needs this kind of amusement."

"He went missing in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Dragon God Douluo Mu En's voice was hoarse yet firm as he replied: "The young girl who was traveling with him is dead, and we didn't find any trace of him near her remains."

Upon hearing this, Di Tian seemed to have heard a joke; a low, deep laughter echoed in the rainy night, filled with thick mockery: "Just because he went missing, it must be our doing? What if he was killed by other Spirit Beasts?"

He suddenly stepped forward, his huge dragon claws leaving deep marks on the ground, and the killing intent in his golden pupils surged: "When human Spirit Masters break into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt Spirit Beasts, they never think about retribution. What? Now that it's your people who have met with misfortune, you're in a rush to come and cause trouble? You're only allowed to kill us, but we aren't allowed to fight back? What kind of logic is that!"

Bi Ji, who was standing to the side, also darkened her expression. She had always advocated for peaceful coexistence between humans and Spirit Beasts, but at this moment, she couldn't help but frown: "Dragon God Douluo Mu En, Di Tian is right. Please get one thing clear: this is the Star Dou Great Forest, not the human World."

Although she was kind-hearted, she could distinguish right from wrong. Shrek Academy wanted to capture her without distinguishing right from wrong, and even threatened to use her to force other fierce beasts; this had already crossed her bottom line.

Dragon God Douluo Mu En shook his head, his eyes as sharp as knives: "It couldn't have been an ordinary Spirit Beast. The expert traveling with that youth was himself a Spirit Saint-level expert. To be able to kill a young girl protected by a Spirit Saint in an instant, and to make a youth with remarkable strength and the Spirit Saint himself disappear without a trace, would require at least a Spirit Beast with over fifty thousand years of cultivation to act."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding dense forest: "And in the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, it is absolutely impossible for this level of Spirit Beast to appear—I know your rules, so this act must be a premeditated retaliation."

Di Tian's golden pupils shrank slightly. Dragon God Douluo Mu En was right; the Star Dou Great Forest had strict regional divisions. Spirit Beasts over fifty thousand years old were almost all concentrated in the core area and its vicinity, while the outer perimeter at most only had Spirit Beasts of around ten thousand years of cultivation active, so they truly didn't have this capability.

Thinking about it this way, could there really be some other hidden story behind the people Dragon God Douluo Mu En mentioned?

Di Tian was silent for a moment, his huge head lowered slightly, his golden eyes staring fixedly at Dragon God Douluo Mu En: "Then what do you want?"

"Return the person."

Dragon God Douluo Mu En's voice was calm, yet carried an unquestionable resolve: "As long as you hand over Bei Bei, today's matter can be treated as if it never happened."

Di Tian sneered, a hint of disdain flashing in his golden pupils: "What if he is already dead?"

Dragon God Douluo Mu En's expression turned cold instantly, and the power of light around him surged violently, almost completely dispelling the surrounding darkness. He said word by word: "If he is dead..."

"Then Shrek Academy and the Star Dou Great Forest will fight to the death!"

The last few words pierced through the curtain of rain like ice picks, carrying the madness of mutual destruction. Rainwater hit his face, mixing with what could have been rain or tears, making that aged face appear even more tragic.

If no action was taken this time, how would the other talented students of Shrek Academy be able to safely hunt for spirit rings? After all, if even Dragon God Douluo Mu En's own grandson had died in the Star Dou Great Forest, let alone anyone else.

In time, Shrek Academy would absolutely collapse, and as the leader of Shrek Academy, he absolutely would not allow such a situation to happen.

Di Tian's golden vertical pupils constricted sharply, his massive body exuding even more terrifying killing intent. He could feel that Dragon God Douluo Mu En was not joking. This pillar of Shrek Academy was truly prepared to go to war with the Star Dou Great Forest.

The rain poured down harder and harder, the collision between light and darkness becoming increasingly intense, and the air was filled with a thick smell of gunpowder.

Bi Ji looked at the two sides standing on the brink of conflict, her delicate brows tightly furrowed, and a trace of unease rose in her heart. She vaguely felt that things were probably more complicated than imagined, and perhaps this conflict had targeted the wrong object from the very beginning...

But at this moment, neither Dragon God Douluo Mu En's grief and indignation, nor Di Tian's fury, was something she could easily quell.
