Douluo Continent: I, Long Aotian, will not be a supporting character.

Looking at this precious semi-divine artifact, Vina refused, saying, "Brother Ao, you should keep it. This shield will be more effective in your hands. Besides, your eight arms are not yet fully equipped, and this shield will add another weapon to your arsenal."

Long Aotian originally had a thought: his eight arms had already gathered the second soul skill to create the Heaven-Shaking Hammer and the Heaven-Slaying Scythe, with the soul bone Heaven-Tearing Claw attached to his left hand and the soul bone Heaven-Splitting Light attached to his right hand, as well as the divine weapon Heaven-Devouring Blade. He was still missing three weapons.

However, after careful consideration, Long Aotian realized that he was not lacking in offensive and defensive skills. On the contrary, Vina, as a support-type Soul Master, although she had cultivated the Purple Demon Eye and Ghost Shadow Tracking, still lacked the ability to protect herself and needed this shield to protect herself. Moreover, this shield was extremely compatible with Vina's Spirit and Life attribute Martial Souls, making it more suitable for Vina to use. Therefore, he decided to give the shield to Vina.

Long Aotian said, "I have no shortage of offensive and defensive skills now. On the contrary, I am worried about your safety, Nana. If you have this shield to protect you, I will feel more at ease. Please accept it."

Jin Ni also said, "Nana, just accept it. You know how powerful Aotian is now; he doesn't need this shield for protection. You, on the other hand, really need it."

Seeing that both Long Aotian and Jin Ni were trying to persuade her, Vina accepted the Life Reflection Shield and said sweetly, "Then thank you, Brother Aotian."

Long Aotian looked at Vina and pinched her little face.

Then, turning to Jin Ni, he said, "Jin Ni, if I meet someone suitable for you next time, I'll give it to you."

Jin Ni smiled and said, "The Golden Dragon Spear is enough for me."

Jin Ni paused for a moment before continuing, "However, if you're willing to give it to me, then I'll be waiting for your gift."

Long Aotian replied, "There definitely will be."

The three of them enjoyed each other's company for a while.

Long Aotian already had an idea in mind. Perhaps at a suitable time, he could take Jin Ni to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. Beneath that water eye, the corpses of the first generation Fire Dragon King and Water/Ice Dragon King were still hidden. These two dragon kings were at least first-level gods in life, and their legacy was definitely a great treasure.

Long Aotian also put the Soul Devouring Carving Knife and the Life Gold back into his storage soul tool. He had taken them out before to attract Ilex, but if he left them outside now, and the power of the Life Gold was sensed, the Beast God Di Tian would definitely come knocking on his door.

Long Aotian currently lacks the ability to purify the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade. It will only be able to function after Electrolux awakens from his spiritual sea, purifies the Soul-Devouring Carving Blade, and restores it to its original form as the Blade of Guardianship of Life.

Suddenly, the sky and earth changed color, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, and the once vibrant forest was now deathly silent, even the sound of the wind disappeared.

Sensing something amiss, Long Aotian, Vina, and Jin Ni's expressions changed.

A black and gold figure appeared from the void.

He was a middle-aged man, handsome and resolute, about two meters tall, with broad shoulders, wearing a black robe with gold patterns.

A single strand of long, golden hair is interspersed among the black hair, making it stand out.

The newcomer glanced at Jin Ni and Vina, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes when he saw their almost identical faces.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Jin Ni's expression relaxed. "Uncle Di Tian!" Jin Ni had barely uttered a word when she was uncontrollably pulled to the newcomer's side.

Upon hearing Jin Ni's address, Long Aotian recognized the person as Di Tian, ​​the Beast God, the supreme ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest, the leader of the Ten Great Ferocious Beasts of Douluo Continent, and the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King with 800,000 years of cultivation.

Although Jin Ni and Vina look similar, in Di Tian's eyes, the two are fundamentally different. Vina is a pure human, while Jin Ni is the auspicious beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, which he raised from a young age. Therefore, he recognized her immediately and pulled Jin Ni to his side.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Di Tian, ​​Long Aotian felt a vague sense of unease, a warning from his Yin-Yang Eyes martial soul.

Could it be that Di Tian sensed the life-giving metal and thus came here?

At this moment, Di Tian's eyes shone with golden light, staring intently at Long Aotian, as if trying to see through his soul.

suddenly!

"Human, you're asking for death!"

"How dare you steal the power of the auspicious beast's destiny! How dare you!"

In an instant, Di Tian suddenly flew into a rage without warning, his voice like rolling thunder, shaking the surrounding trees.

Di Tian's voice boomed like thunder, causing Long Aotian to bleed from all seven orifices.

Di Tian sensed an extremely familiar aura emanating from Long Aotian—the power of destiny, a power possessed only by the Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

It turns out that the Beast God Di Tian did not sense the Life Gold, but rather that Jin Ni had returned to the Star Dou Great Forest. He originally intended to bring Jin Ni back to the core forbidden zone, but unexpectedly discovered that Long Aotian also possessed the power of destiny.

In his mind, humans were all greedy and cunning. The Emperor Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, was his adopted daughter, whom he regarded as his own child, and the future of the Star Dou Great Forest. Now, the unique power of destiny possessed by the Emperor Beast had appeared in a human. There was only one explanation—this human had used some evil means to plunder the Beast's essence!

Di Tian didn't give Long Aotian a chance to explain at all.

"die!"

Di Tian roared, raising his right hand. A massive, black dragon claw, obscuring the sky, materialized behind him. Wrapped in a dark aura capable of destroying everything, the claw, with unparalleled power, viciously lashed out at Long Aotian. This strike was enough to instantly kill a Title Douluo; he vowed to tear this human who had blasphemed the auspicious beast to pieces.

Long Aotian's face turned ashen. At this moment, he truly understood how insignificant he was in front of a top expert, and how no matter how many schemes he devised, they were utterly futile in the face of sheer power.

However, Long Aotian would not sit idly by and wait to die; even if he were to die, he would face it standing tall.

His soul power surged wildly within him, and his Martial God Body Martial Soul was fully activated. His four soul rings flashed simultaneously, and the Golden Behemoth right arm bone and Dark Gold Bear left arm bone on both arms were activated at the same time. Six arms appeared behind him, with five of them holding the Heaven-Shaking Hammer, the Heaven-Slaying Scythe, the Heaven-Tearing Claw, the Heaven-Splitting Light, and the Heaven-Devouring Blade, respectively. The other three hands were clenched into fists, attempting to resist this earth-shattering power.

Although Long Aotian's current power is like that of an ant in front of the Beast God, even an ant has its own way of resisting.

Vina, standing nearby, was bewildered by the sudden turn of events. She wanted to use her spirit to help Long Aotian, but found that under Di Tian's oppressive aura, even as a support-type spirit master, she had difficulty mobilizing her spirit power.
