Seven days later.
Snow Empress and Shen Hanyu appeared in a small city at the southernmost edge of Douluo Continent.
Even with the speed of two Limit Douluo, crossing more than half the continent had taken a full week. Although that included occasional stops to replenish expended Soul Power and take brief rests, the sheer distance of the journey was still evident.
The farther south they traveled, the higher the temperature climbed. With their formidable strength, the two were barely affected by external conditions. Otherwise, an ordinary Soul Master's Soul Power would have been depleted several times faster than under normal conditions.
This small city had no name, and Shen Hanyu did not know which faction it belonged to. Yet, seeing its low, plain buildings and the simply dressed commoners, he could tell that it was neither prosperous nor bustling.
A few ships were scattered across the harbor, most of them fishing boats, with only two or three merchant vessels docked there. The commoners and Soul Masters at the pier sat chatting beneath shaded shelters, making the entire harbor seem somewhat desolate.
Neither Shen Hanyu nor Snow Empress had any interest in lingering in such a city. After briefly looking around, they hurried into the ocean's expanse.
Because the environment here was extremely primitive, and human habitation and activity were confined to the shallow seas, Soul Beasts thrived exceptionally well. Shen Hanyu even spotted two Moon Scale White Flood Dragons hunting in the shallows. These rare Sea Soul Beasts had nearly gone extinct along the continent's coast, yet here, they seemed to possess no sense of danger at all, freely playing and hunting in waters that should have been fraught with peril.
Shen Hanyu and Snow Empress flew side by side, turning into two streaks of light across the sky.
