At the center of the snowstorm, beams of icy light shot out, intercepting all the black lasers.
The terrifying chill spread in all directions, making it impossible to open one's eyes and see what was happening inside the storm.
"This fusion technique… they weren't using their full strength when fighting me before?"
Bear Lord shivered as he hid on the sidelines.
Right now, he didn't even have the qualifications to get close.
Di Tian had already taken his true form, and a single claw from him would be unbearable.
On the other hand, the fusion ability of the Ice and Snow Empresses had an extremely strong freezing effect.
So, he could only stay far away and wait for the battle to end.
"Hmph, blocking me once… I don't believe you can keep using this move forever!"
In the sky, the black dragon roared toward the heavens, its presence overwhelming.
The shockwaves from its roar turned into fierce gusts of wind, making the clothes of the Ice and Snow Empresses billow wildly.
Xue Tianyu knew that Di Tian in his true form was extremely powerful.
"Hmph, do you think you're the only one with a true form?" Bing Di pouted, ready to transform.
"Aunt Bing, no need to rush."
Xue Tianyu still had a trump card he hadn't used.
He grabbed the Dragon Binding Rope and poured all his soul power into it.
In an instant.
The Dragon Binding Rope shone with golden light.
The rope rapidly expanded in the glow, rising into the air, growing massive enough to entangle anything.
At the same time, waves of energy radiated from it—waves that only dragonkind could sense.
Di Tian's heart trembled as he spewed black dragon flames at the now-enormous Dragon Binding Rope, trying to melt it completely.
But with Xue Tianyu's soul power infused into it, how could a mere dragon destroy it?
This was a divine weapon that suppressed dragonkind.
Xue Tianyu pointed toward the airborne Di Tian. "Go! Bind him!"
The Dragon Binding Rope instantly unraveled, turning into a long whip, and rapidly coiled around Di Tian's massive dragon body.
Sensing his bloodline trembling, Di Tian desperately tried to fly higher into the sky.
But the rope clung to him like a parasite, sticking to him no matter where he went.
In mere moments, the Dragon Binding Rope had tightly wrapped around him.
The black dragon turned into dark mist and vanished.
Di Tian, back in his human form, was now bound tightly in golden ropes and plummeted from the sky.
"Boom!"
A heavy thud echoed.
Di Tian crashed into the ground, forming a massive crater.
Lying there, gasping for breath, his eyes were filled with terror.
He understood now.
This rope looked powerful, but it actually had no effect on other creatures.
It was a divine weapon specialized in restraining dragons!
It sacrificed its attack against other beings in exchange for absolute suppression of dragonkind.
As long as one was of the dragon race, they would inevitably be bound by it.
Unless… the difference in strength was too great, in which case the suppression would be ineffective.
But Xue Tianyu was level 97, infinitely close to 98. He was a Title Douluo with a divine martial soul, the Ice and Snow Spirit, and the advantage of twin martial souls. His soul ring configuration was also maxed out.
With the Dragon Binding Rope, restraining Di Tian wasn't difficult.
Di Tian lay in the crater, waiting for Xue Tianyu to approach.
Right now, he had only one option left—Dragon God Claw!
As long as Xue Tianyu got close, he would ambush him with Dragon God Claw.
If he could disrupt the flow of soul power into the rope, then no matter how powerful it was, without energy to sustain it, it would become useless.
As long as he could escape the Dragon Binding Rope's hold, he and Bear Lord could flee!
This rope was powerful, but could it really restrain a divine technique like the Dragon God Claw?
Di Tian refused to believe it.
For now, he had to play along, waiting for his chance.
Sure enough, he heard footsteps approaching.
"I told you I had another trick up my sleeve. This Black Dragon Di Tian isn't causing much trouble after all," Xue Tianyu's voice drew closer, making Di Tian grit his teeth in frustration.
'If not for that damn rope suppressing us dragons, would you be this cocky?'
Di Tian was utterly disgusted.
Soon, Xue Tianyu peered down at him. "Di Tian, have you calmed down now? Let's talk."
Looking at Xue Tianyu's expression, Di Tian sneered. "We can talk, but take this damn rope off me first!"
"Do I look like an idiot?"
Xue Tianyu scoffed.
If he removed the rope, how would he negotiate?
Di Tian knew this wouldn't work, so he wasn't in a rush.
Xue Tianyu was close now. His entire body erupted with soul power—he even infused a trace of divine power!
"Take my Dragon God Claw!"
Di Tian violently struggled.
He thought that with the Dragon God personally passing down the Dragon God Claw, he could momentarily break free, kill Xue Tianyu, and escape from the Dragon Binding Rope.
However, the moment he made his move, he saw the smile curling on Xue Tianyu's lips.
"So this is your final trump card?"
Di Tian was dumbfounded.
As soon as he activated the Dragon God Claw, the Dragon Binding Rope absorbed all of his soul power!
This thing was draining his energy to reinforce his own bindings!
Unless Xue Tianyu personally removed it, even if Xue Tianyu died, the Dragon Binding Rope would not loosen…
This was frustrating.
And what Di Tian found hardest to accept was that even the Dragon God Claw couldn't break free from it.
'Does that mean as long as someone is of dragon blood, they'll always be suppressed by this thing?'
'Even the Dragon God would be restrained?'
'Then my master…'
No, his master's cultivation level was far too high; she might not be bound.
Even so, despite how unbelievable it seemed, the truth was right before him.
Di Tian now felt a deep concern for his master.
Xue Tianyu was someone they absolutely could not afford to antagonize.
Seeing that Di Tian had finally settled down, Xue Tianyu sat down cross-legged, looking down at him in the crater.
"Now, can we talk?"
"Sigh… what do you want?"
Di Tian sighed deeply. Right now, he was under someone else's control—he had no choice but to comply.
"We're going to the Star Dou Forest together." Xue Tianyu smiled faintly. "You'll take me to meet Gu Yuena."
"Impossible!"
Di Tian refused without hesitation.
"You think you have the right to refuse?" Xue Tianyu's gaze turned cold. "Even if you die, I will eventually find Gu Yuena. Now, would you rather have the Dragon Binding Rope on you, or on Gu Yuena?"
"I…"
Di Tian gave in.
If the Dragon Binding Rope could only restrain one person, then it was better for him to be bound instead of his master.
"I'll take you…"
"But on one condition—you cannot harm her. She is our soul beast race's last hope."
Di Tian compromised.
"No need to worry. Just behave, and everything will be fine. Besides, your master's strength is terrifying." Xue Tianyu spoke calmly.
His goal in meeting Gu Yuena was to sign in and claim his rewards—ideally, top-tier divine rewards.
With that, he could tear apart Bibi Dong's final trump card—
The Rakshasa God!
Considering Gu Yuena's cultivation level, if he signed in successfully, the rewards would undoubtedly be incredible.
Xue Tianyu was quite looking forward to it.
