Tears of the Silver Dragon King!

"My god..."

Dugu Yan walked in with her long, slender legs, her emerald eyes fixed intently on the Sky Screen, her voice dry.

"Lingling, this ancestor of your Ye family... is actually this strong?!"

"A single palm... can kill a 700,000-year-old soul beast?!"

This completely subverted her understanding!

"Of course!"

Ye Lingling puffed out her perfectly developed chest, her fair, pretty face filled with pride and excitement.

That sense of pride made her entire being radiate a dazzling brilliance.

She gave a light stomp, the curves beneath her skirt fully revealed; those jade-like legs, wrapped in a pale green dress, were straight and slender, outlining a breathtaking arc.

Her crystalline jade feet left a perfect silhouette on the floor, adding a touch of allure.

"If our Ye family didn't have the foundation left behind by Ancestor Lu Ming, how could we have developed into a behemoth capable of rivaling the Upper Three Sects in just a few tens of thousands of years?"

She lifted her snow-white chin slightly, like a proud white swan.

"Ancestor Lu Ming was, from the very beginning, a mysterious and unfathomable existence, like a God!"

Dugu Yan opened her mouth, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

So that was it.

No wonder the Ye family, despite being merely a support-type soul master clan, possessed such terrifyingly deep foundations that even the Martial Soul Hall dared not provoke them lightly.

It turned out that behind them had once stood such an unimaginably terrifying existence!

At the same time.

Star Luo Great Forest, the core region.

Life Lake.

The lake water was as green as jade, radiating a life force so dense it could not be dissolved.

By the lakeside, the Imperial Beast tilted its head curiously, looking up at the Sky Screen, murmuring to itself.

"Lu Ming... who is this?"

She was the darling of this forest, the Imperial Beast, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

Beside her, a figure of beauty so perfect it seemed otherworldly lay quietly upon the grass.

Her long silver hair spread out, brighter and purer than moonlight.

Her purple eyes, like the purest amethysts, were deep and noble.

She simply lay there, a living painting that made all the Myriad Things of heaven and earth pale in comparison.

It was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had just awakened after a slumber of twenty thousand years.

When she heard the name "Lu Ming," a ripple suddenly stirred in her ancient, tranquil purple eyes.

She slowly cast her gaze toward the golden ranking list.

When her sight landed on the image of the Evil Eye Pendant and the words "Master: Lu Ming,"

BOOM!

It was as if billions of thunderbolts had detonated in Gu Yuena's mind simultaneously!

"Husband?!"

A cry, filled with trembling and ecstasy, escaped her moving lips.

She had not spoken those two words for twenty thousand years.

"Evil Eye Pendant... It seems this is my husband's item."

She murmured to herself, mist rising in her purple eyes as she stared fixedly at the list.

The next moment, light and shadow shifted on the Sky Screen, playing the scene of Lu Ming shattering the Evil Eye Tyrant Master with a single palm strike.

That figure, dressed in white as snow and possessing peerless grace, was so familiar—it had long been branded into the deepest depths of her soul!

"It really is my husband!"

"I... I can actually see my husband again!"

Gu Yuena sat up abruptly from the grass, the curves of her perfect body fully revealed as her silver hair slid down, adding a touch of breathtaking beauty.

She crossed her long, straight, jade-like legs, her bare feet flawless, like the most exquisite work of art from the heavens.

Yet, at this moment, she paid no mind to any of that.

She simply gazed infatuatedly at the figure on the Sky Screen, a smile blooming on her face that was brilliant to the extreme—a smile that could make a hundred flowers wither and the sun and moon lose their luster.

Ecstasy!

Unparalleled ecstasy flooded every fiber of her being!

Yet, as she laughed, two lines of clear tears uncontrollably slid down from her beautiful purple eyes.

The smile still hung on her face, but her tears had already soaked her collar.

"Husband..."

Her voice was thick with nasal congestion and choked sobs, filled with endless longing and grievance.

"Do you know... how much I have missed you?"

The floodgates of memory burst open at this moment.

She remembered back then, when she was severely injured, it was he who used those warm palms, day after day, to heal her wounds, pulling her back from the brink of death.

She remembered them sitting together on the mountaintop, watching the sunrise and sunset, the clouds rolling and unfurling across the world.

She remembered them traveling the continent hand in hand; he would pick the most beautiful flowers for her, take her to eat the most famous delicacies, and spoil her like a little girl who knew nothing of the world.

Those beautiful, sweet memories surged into her heart like a tide, scene after scene, as clear as if they had happened only yesterday.

But now...

The smile on Gu Yuena's face gradually transformed into endless sorrow and desolation.

She gazed at the still-youthful figure on the Sky Screen, and her tears flowed even more fiercely.

"And now, you have already died of old age, leaving me behind!"

That was right.

He was of the Human Race; no matter how powerful, his lifespan had an end.

Tens of thousands of years were enough to turn any hero or legend into a handful of dust.

This Sky Screen Divine Ranking must have traced the past to list his treasures upon it.

What she was seeing now was nothing more than the final images he had left behind in this world.

"Who would have thought? To see you once more has become a final farewell!"

The immense joy transformed in an instant into an even greater agony, ruthlessly tearing at her heart.

That feeling of falling from heaven into hell made her wish she were dead.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena could no longer suppress the sorrow in her heart; she bent over, buried her face in her knees, and began to sob uncontrollably.

Crystal-clear teardrops rolled continuously from her eyes, dripping onto the green grass beneath her.

Suddenly, the moment one of the teardrops left her eye, it burst forth with a brilliant, dazzling silver light!

It did not drip down, but instead hovered in mid-air.

Within the teardrop, it seemed to contain a silver world, where majestic dragon might and endless sorrow were intertwined, eventually slowly condensing into a diamond-shaped silver crystal.

Tears of the Silver Dragon King!

This was the supreme treasure of the Dragon race. Only an existence at the Dragon King level, when experiencing the most extreme sorrow of their heart, could possibly condense one by using their heart's blood and the essence of their entire body!

Every Dragon King could only form one in their entire lifetime!

Its preciousness was enough to be comparable to the life-bound artifact of a Rank One Deity!

Just as Gu Yuena was overcome with grief and her tears transformed into the rare treasure.

Above the firmament, the golden Divine Ranking that spanned the entire continent saw its light circulate once more.

On the ranking, the characters and image of the Evil Eye Pendant slowly faded, and in their place was a brand-new line of embossed golden characters.

A line of text that caused the entire Martial Soul Empire to tremble.
