System Reward, Strength Advances!

"Continue to stay hidden, just like before."

"There's no need to bother with the outside world either—it has nothing to do with our Clear Sky Sect."

"Sigh..."

Within the Bright Realm.

The originally peaceful and serene blue sky was suddenly churned into surging chaos by two extreme energy fluctuations.

One, a deep yellow, carried an aura of immense weight.

The moment it appeared, the very space of the Bright Realm seemed to grow several times heavier.

The earth trembled and resonated faintly, mountains, rivers, and trees all leaning toward the source of that energy.

This aura seemed to bear all things, carrying the steadiness of the earth, an indestructible defense, and a majestic will to suppress everything.

It was the power of the land—Great Virtue Carries All Things—yet within it lurked boundless sharpness.

The other was a blazing scarlet red.

Like magma erupting from the earth's core, or the boiling blood of a war god.

This aura was scorching and fierce, carrying extreme heat that could incinerate all things, and an inexhaustible battle intent.

That battle intent was pure, soaring, and unyielding, as if it would pierce the sky dome and challenge every powerful foe.

This was a will born for war, the ultimate manifestation of offense and conquest.

Two terrifying auras, both at the Level Ninety-Nine Extreme Douluo level, yet opposite in nature and each with its own merits.

Like two awakened Ancient Dragons, they collided fiercely in the sky dome of the Bright Realm.

This was none other than Zhenyue Douluo Yuezhong, who wielded the Earth Tiger Armor after receiving the Sky Screen Reward, and War God Douluo Qin Tian, who wielded the War God Xingtian Armor.

Boom--!!

Boom--!!

Accompanied by thunderous roars, raging waves were stirred up within the Bright Realm.

Yet the people of the Bright Realm showed no trace of panic; instead, they watched the battle in the sky dome with curiosity.

Because this land was the territory ruled by the Emperor.

No matter what happened, His Majesty would grant them endless safety.

They would not be disturbed by any turmoil.

Where the Emperor stood, there was order!

The foundation of the Bright Realm was as firm as a rock!

Sure enough.

The next moment.

A supreme will flickered across the dome of the Bright Realm and vanished in an instant.

The two colliding energies dissipated without a trace.

That imperial will belonging to Yu Yuan quietly smoothed over all fluctuations.

Restoring the Bright Realm to its former peace.

Within the Earth Element Hall.

Yuezhong felt his own erupting terrifying aura being suppressed and let out an awkward chuckle.

Then he stood up, stretching his limbs with satisfaction.

"Ah—!"

"I've finally broken through to the Level Ninety-Nine Extreme Douluo realm. This feeling is truly wonderful!"

The Metal Element Hall Master, Xi Feng, watched his old friend's delighted expression.

He couldn't help but tease: "Now that you've received the Sky Screen Reward and broken through to Level Ninety-Nine, plus Dong Sen who ranked earlier, it looks like I'm the weakest among the Five Element Hall Masters now."

Seeing the hint of disappointment in his friend's words, Yuezhong was momentarily flustered.

Just as he was about to offer comfort, Xi Feng stopped him with a smile.

"You fool, I was joking—can't you tell?"

"If you two can make the rankings, why can't I get on the list and receive a reward too?"

Yuezhong scratched his head, finally catching on: "Hehe, I was just worried you might feel unbalanced."

Xi Feng looked at the simple-minded Yuezhong before him and shook his head with a light laugh.

"Alright, you've just broken through, so you should first stabilize your cultivation."

"We'll catch up later."

Slowly rising to his feet, he reached out and patted Yuezhong on the shoulder before walking straight out of the Earth Element Hall.

"Fine! We'll catch up later!"

Watching Xi Feng's retreating figure, Yuezhong raised his hand and waved, shouting loudly.

Then he sat back down cross-legged and began to stabilize his newly broken-through cultivation.

Meanwhile, in the Xingtian Battle Team's training ground.

Qin Fei and Qin Gang had already begun celebrating their Big Brother's breakthrough to the Level Ninety-Nine Extreme Douluo.

Inside the Immortal Herb Garden.

Yu Yuan slightly raised his eyes, his gaze seeming to pierce through the barrier of the Immortal Herb Garden.

He saw the direction where his two beloved generals, who had just completed their breakthroughs and were rapidly retracting their auras to stabilize their realms, were located.

"These two fellows, breaking through to Level Ninety-Nine is nothing special, yet they've stirred up such a commotion."

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he were discussing an everyday matter.

Level Ninety-Nine, the limit of mortals, the pinnacle of the continent.

Enough to stir up raging waves in the outside world.

Yet in Yu Yuan's mouth, it was merely "nothing special."

[Ding, congratulations to the host's subordinates, Zhenyue Douluo Yuezhong and War God Douluo Qin Tian, for breaking through to Level Ninety-Nine Extreme Douluo, significantly enhancing their strength]

[Reward: Soul Power condensed twofold, mental energy significantly enhanced, any one soul ring upgraded to a million years, Metal Element Power enhanced, two hundred-thousand-year Torso Soul Bones]

[Claim now?]

"Claim!" Yu Yuan silently uttered in his heart.

The next moment, with endless energy surging into his body.

Yu Yuan's aura began to rise continuously.

The vast, star-ocean-like source of Soul Power was channeled into his body by the system through gentle means.

This Soul Power did not simply increase the total amount; it carried the system's unique condensing force, like billions of invisible heavy hammers.

Strengthening the density of his own Soul Power.

Then.

Yu Yuan's Fifth Soul Ring also began to rapidly shift from Scarlet Red to Golden Yellow.

Terrifying Energy Fluctuation spread all around.

At the same time.

Within the most core Yin and Yang Five Elements power of the Emperor Armor, the Geng Metal Force, representing ultimate attack, slaughter, and revolution.

Ushered in an unprecedented, terrifying enhancement.

Zheng--!!!

A sword cry that seemed to come from the dawn of antiquity, yet also echoed at the end of the future.

Clear, stirring, tearing through the sky.

Endless white-gold Geng Metal Qi burst forth from every pore of Yu Yuan's body.

It rapidly converged behind him, condensed, and took shape.

The light grew brighter and brighter, the form clearer and clearer.

The ultimate attacking Geng Metal Qi spread out, ultimately converging into a long sword phantom that could slay heaven and gods, breaking everything, standing behind Yu Yuan.

At this moment, Yu Yuan could clearly feel the changes in his Emperor Armor.

He immediately reached out and summoned.

The Aurora Sword, now enveloped by the enhanced, ultimate attacking Geng Metal Force, fell into his hand.

Looking at the completely different, brand-new Aurora Sword in his hand.

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow and murmured to himself, "I never imagined that enhancing the Five Elements power could also trigger a change in the Emperor Armor."

Then, Yu Yuan looked up at the Heavenly Screen, his gaze as deep as a sea of stars.

"Now that three of the Five Elements have been gathered, the day of Ascension to Godhood is not far off!"

"Hahaha!"

"As expected of the Underworld, even a terrifyingly strong Ninety-eighth Rank Super Douluo is so numerous."

"I, Ning Fengzhi, was not wrong after all."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi, who was being carried by Jian Douluo Chenxin as they flew toward the Sunset Forest, let out a light laugh as he looked at the Heavenly Screen.

In his heart, the purpose of this trip became even clearer.

Suddenly.

Both Jian Douluo Chenxin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong abruptly halted their forward momentum.

The two of them stared solemnly at the Sunset Forest not far ahead.
