Sunset Forest

"Is this Sunset Forest? The place where the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King perished... I wonder if they can still be brought back to life."

Holding hands, Gu Yuexi and Gu Yuena walked at the very front of the group, curiously surveying the forest before them.

The paths here twisted and turned, and the entire forest brimmed with life. Quite a few kinds of soul beasts lived within it, but in terms of scale and environment, it was about the same as the Star Dou Great Forest before it had been restored.

Although there were many types of soul beasts, most were Plant-Type Soul Beasts, with cultivation ranging from ten to a hundred years.

Compared to beast-type soul beasts, Plant-Type Soul Beasts had a far more difficult time cultivating and grew exceptionally slowly.

Even without the restrictive laws of the God Realm, they could not, like beast-type soul beasts, gain intelligence or even take human form after roughly a hundred years of cultivation. They had to reach a thousand years of cultivation first.

Therefore, although Sunset Forest was home to many Plant-Type Soul Beasts, most lacked intelligence. They showed no reaction upon seeing Gu Yuexi and Gu Yuena, the two Soul Beast Sovereigns.

The group continued through Sunset Forest and soon arrived at a place radiating strange fluctuations. An invisible force enveloped the area like a massive bubble, dreamlike and illusory.

"Your Excellencies, and Sovereign, Tang San set up an illusion here. Without a special method to open it, it would be easy to lose your way inside. Allow me to open it for you," Zang Xin said.

"There's no need for such trouble. It's merely an illusion. Just break it."

After speaking, Gu Yuena pointed forward. Countless streaks of silver divine light burst forth and shot toward the illusion ahead. As the Silver Dragon King, she was most skilled at dispelling illusions and similar techniques.

Crack! Crack!

Under the ravaging silver divine light, numerous cracks appeared across the seemingly indestructible illusion.

Then it shattered with a roar. Countless fragments of Divine Power fell from the sky, as though a multicolored rain had descended upon the area, dazzling beyond measure.

Zang Xin was utterly astonished by the sight. These illusions had been personally laid down by Tang San after he became a god, yet they had now been broken with a single casual finger.

It seemed that not only was the Golden Dragon King stronger than that damned Sea God Tang San, but this Silver Dragon King was as well. Giving up his faith in the Sea God and joining them actually seemed like a good choice!

Moreover, the two of them had promised to deal with the Abyss Plane and the Crimson Domain behind it. They were far more reliable than Tang San.

Looking at the three beautiful figures ahead, Zang Xin seemed to begin making plans of his own.

Meanwhile, Gu Yuexi took in every subtle expression on his face and roughly guessed what he was thinking.

But she paid it no mind. Once the new plane was built, she would take the Soul Beast Clan and leave. There was no need to remain on Douluo Star and exhaust themselves in pointless conflict with these people.

The group moved swiftly and soon reached the deepest part of Sunset Forest. Gu Yuexi and Gu Yuena could already sense the Dragon Soul fluctuations of the Ice Fire Dragon King in the distance.

But at that moment, a Poison Barrier abruptly appeared before them.

The Poison Barrier was dark green and highly toxic, leaving not a blade of grass growing around it. Like a city wall, it complemented the earlier illusion, forming two lines of defense that guarded the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye together.

Without the special method Tang San had established, perhaps no one below godhood could truly enter the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye!

"Heh... An illusion and a Poison Barrier? Has Tang San really treated the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye as his personal property?" Gu Xingling frowned slightly.

"Yes. After becoming a god, Tang San has always regarded Douluo Star as his private garden. He even came up with some Ten-Thousand-Year Plan for it."

"Enough about that guy. Let's get rid of this Poison Barrier first!"

After speaking, Gu Yuexi spread open her palm. Divine Power surged, quickly forming a golden vortex above her hand.

"Go!"

Once the golden vortex of Divine Power left Gu Yuexi's palm, it flew directly above the Poison Barrier. In an instant, it expanded countless times, becoming a terrifying tornado.

An immense pulling force erupted at once. The Poison Barrier lingering around the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye was swept into the sky, while the originally golden tornado turned dark green. The skies above Sunset Forest became utter chaos.

"Condense!"

Seeing that the Poison Barrier had nearly been blown away, Gu Yuexi immediately used Divine Power to compress the toxins and Divine Power together.

Before long, a dark green poison pellet the size of a Dragon Eye appeared in Gu Yuexi's hand.

"Xing Ling, this poison pellet may come in handy if you encounter a powerful enemy someday, so I'll give it to you. Remember, you are not allowed to use it carelessly in the Star Dou Great Forest!"

"Hehe, thanks, Mom!" Gu Xingling accepted the poison pellet, looking especially delighted, as though she had received a new toy.

"Now that both the Poison Barrier and the illusion have been removed, the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye must be ahead. Let's hurry," Gu Yuena said.

"Mm, let's go."

After proceeding for some distance, an incomparably pure Heavenly Yuan Force washed over them. Its density was no less than that of the Lake of Life, and the number of strange flowers and exotic plants around them increased considerably.

At the center of these strange flowers and herbs lay a small pool streaked with red and blue. Extreme heat and extreme cold intertwined there, creating a peculiar spectacle. This was the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye, the burial ground of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King.

Because of the two Dragon Souls beneath the pool, the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye constantly radiated pure energy, nourishing everything in Sunset Forest.

It could be said that without the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye, there would be no Sunset Forest. Their relationship was much like that between the Lake of Life and the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Big Sister, do you think Life Divine Power could revive the Dragon Souls below?" Gu Yuena asked as she looked at her sister.

For some reason, the moment she saw the Ice Fire Liangyi Eye, an inexplicable sorrow welled up in her heart.

As for the auras of several Beasts nearby, they ignored them completely. They were merely creatures Tang San kept here, nothing worth fearing!

"The Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were both God King Level powerhouses when they were alive, and they have been dead for so many years. Life Divine Power alone probably cannot revive them." Gu Yuexi shook her head.

"Still, we need to examine the two Dragon Souls before we can make a judgment. If they have been preserved relatively intact, there may be a chance, though that possibility is not very great."

As Gu Yuexi finished speaking, she and Gu Yuena were preparing to use the bloodline powers of the Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King to summon the two Dragon Souls and inspect them.

However, at that moment, a Purple-robed Man appeared beside them and shouted angrily:

"I am Aromatic Silk Beauty, responsible for guarding this place. Who are you? If you do not possess a token from the Tang Sect, leave at once. This is not a place you may enter!"

As he spoke, five more people gradually emerged from behind the Purple-robed Man, men and women alike. All of them were Plant-Type Beasts responsible for guarding this place on Tang San's behalf.

At the same time, the six Beasts erupted with astonishing auras that bore down upon Gu Yuexi and the others.

"Insolence!"

"Lowly livestock raised in captivity, wretches barely surviving within this tiny patch of land, and you dare spout such nonsense here!"

Faced with this, the Emperor Auspicious Beast bloodline within Gu Xingling immediately felt challenged. The pressure belonging to the princess of soul beasts surged toward the six Beasts.

As for Gu Yuena and Gu Yuexi, they merely watched from the side. Why would they need to personally deal with such insignificant creatures?
