Are There Divine Beasts in Star Dou Forest? The Entire Continent Exploded!

[Power Ranking, Second Place: Star Dou Forest]

[Ruler Representative: Silver Dragon King]

[Strongest Combat Power Representative: Silver Dragon King]

[Evaluation: The foremost of Douluo Continent's three great soul beast habitats, located deep within the central region of the continent. It was a super forest region that combined primordial wilderness with complex terrain, spanning an immensely vast area across the borders of the Star Luo Empire and the Heaven Dou Empire. Originally an unnamed great forest, it took the first character of "Star" from its location in the north of the Star Luo Empire and the last character of "Dou" from its location in the south of the Heaven Dou Empire, thus earning the name Star Dou Forest!

Millions of soul beasts lived here, encompassing the vast majority of known soul beast types. Their cultivation ages were evenly distributed, ranging from juveniles to ultimate existences that had reached a million years! At present, there were no fewer than ten soul beasts that had reached or surpassed one hundred thousand years!

The strongest soul beast among them was a dragon divine beast known as the "Silver Dragon King." Her current cultivation had already transcended the mortal realm and could not be defined by the cultivation age standards of mortal soul beasts. She possessed and could skillfully wield seven ultimate elements, and she also possessed a pseudo-super divine artifact, the "Silver Dragon Spear," infinitely close to a super divine artifact! Thus, she became the undisputed Lord of Soul Beasts of Star Dou Forest and even the entire soul beast world!

Beyond that, Star Dou Forest itself had also nurtured two peerless treasures.

The first was the "Life Lake," the life core of Star Dou Forest. It contained boundless life energy, capable of nourishing soul beasts in their cultivation and breakthroughs, as well as breeding rare species. It was a peerless treasure basin no less remarkable than the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well!

The second was the "Three-Eyed Golden Lion," the fortune core of Star Dou Forest. Her true body possessed the two ultimate elements of light and fire, and she carried the fortune of all Star Dou Forest. The auspicious fortune she naturally possessed could form a special domain. Within that domain, soul beasts cultivated twice as fast, and their chances of breaking through the one-hundred-thousand-year bottleneck also doubled. Thus, all soul beasts revered her as the "Emperor Auspicious Beast"!]

[Super Rewards: Divine Artifact, Quasi-Divine Artifact, Quasi-Divine Artifact Shadow!]

Silence.

It was a deathly stillness so profound that even the wind seemed frozen.

It was as though time across the entire plane had been seized by an invisible hand.

The instant the Heavenly Ranking's radiance flowed, all sound was utterly cut off.

The next second—thunder exploded!

"Boom—"

It was not thunder from the heavens, but the soundwave formed by billions of living beings simultaneously gasping, roaring, and crying out in shock, smashing apart the deathly silence!

"Dragon divine beast—the Silver Dragon King!"

"A pseudo-super divine artifact infinitely close to a super divine artifact—the Silver Dragon Spear!"

"Star Dou Forest actually hid such... such a foundation beyond words!"

"And these rewards... heavens! One divine artifact and two quasi-divine artifacts! This is invincible, brothers!"

Although Star Dou Forest's other foundations were also immensely shocking, they were utterly overshadowed by these two.

Before a dragon divine beast and a pseudo-super divine artifact, what did a million-year soul beast amount to? What was an Emperor Auspicious Beast worth?!

At that moment, the entire Douluo Plane erupted into a frenzy more shocking than all the previous ranking announcements combined!

A dragon divine beast that existed only in the God Realm now existed in the mortal world. No one could suppress the terror and disbelief in their hearts!

Yet what shocked the world even more was that Star Dou Forest, despite being guarded by such a dragon divine beast, still could not rank first?!

Just what kind of being would take first place?!

Could it be that place existing only in Legend... the God Realm?!!!

Chang'an City.

"City Lord, Chang'an is definitely first now!"

Shangguan Wan'er cried out excitedly and threw herself into Ye Han's arms.

Where was her usual poised elegance when wielding brush and ink?

"Mm..."

Ye Han froze as she hugged him, and before he knew it, he was slightly lost in thought.

A faint, refined scent of ink mingled with the delicate floral fragrance in her hair, lingering beneath his nose. It was even more refreshing than the tenderest willow branches in Chang'an City at the start of spring.

Her slender body was utterly unlike Hua Mulan's stubborn, steely temperament when facing an opponent. It was full of softness and resilience, supple as cotton wrapped in spring sunlight.

"City Lord, why aren't you saying anything?"

Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head up slightly and met Ye Han's absent-minded gaze.

Only then did she realize she had lost her composure. A faint flush instantly spread across her exquisite jade-like face, and she hurriedly let go.

"My apologies. Wan'er did not mean to offend the City Lord. Please punish me!"

Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head and bowed, not daring to look up at the City Lord before her as she nervously pleaded for forgiveness.

"Ahem..."

Ye Han coughed lightly. With a sweep of his hand, he stood with his hands behind his back and said solemnly,

"It is nothing. You were simply happy for Chang'an. Let us continue watching and await the announcement of Chang'an's first-place ranking."

Shangguan Wan'er sighed in relief and secretly raised her head to glance at the City Lord.

To her surprise, she discovered that the tips of the City Lord's ears also seemed to be tinged with an extremely faint blush.

Could it be that the City Lord also felt a little...

Suddenly, rolling thunder crushed down from the sky, and a figure of ultimate lightning descended:

"Rumble—"

The person was none other than Thunder Douluo, Sikong Zhen, who had successfully seized the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and returned!

"Lord Sikong? You succeeded?!"

Shangguan Wan'er's thoughts were interrupted as she stepped forward and asked.

Sikong Zhen nodded slightly, slowly raising the Fusion Space Cube in his palm.

Inside it was the Ice and Fire Spring Water, shimmering around two Dragon King remains that radiated vast and majestic energy.

"City Lord! Zhen has fulfilled his mission and brought back the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Dual Dragon King Remains!"

"Mm. It seems the Immortal Herbs had already been moved away beforehand, just as I expected. How do you intend to handle these?"

Ye Han's gaze swept over the Fusion Space Cube as he asked calmly.

Upon hearing this, Sikong Zhen immediately explained his plans for handling them.

He would use half of the Ice and Fire Spring Water to temper his Five Thunder Tremor Drum martial soul.

As for the rest, along with the Dual Dragon King Bones, he would recreate an Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Chang'an.

"Mm, do as you say. You may leave."

Ye Han waved his hand, a thoughtful look flashing through his eyes.

If he remembered correctly, Li Xin had an ice-and-fire skin.

If Li Xin absorbed the divine bones of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, would it produce some extraordinary effect?

After considering it, however, Ye Han shook his head.

The soul ring upgrades granted by the Ark Core would improve a companion hero's martial soul. Perhaps their skins would be upgraded as well when the time came.

Sikong Zhen, who had become a companion at the million-year level, had no skin, but that could only be considered an exception. After all, his Five Thunder Tremor Drum was already a divine artifact in the Honor of Kings Worldview.

Perhaps once his soul rings reached ten million years, he might gain a skin as well? They would wait and see...

Ye Han looked back up at the Sky Screen. Star Dou Forest's rewards this time were quite generous. What kind of rewards would Chang'an receive for taking first place?

Star Dou Forest, Life Lake.

Within the small world below, inside the silver-white crystal palace.

"What? With such a foundation, our Star Dou Forest still isn't first?!!!"

The Six Great Beast Kings led by Di Tian jolted violently, their faces filled with disbelief.

Gu Yuena, who had been lazily seated upon a crystal throne, also abruptly rose to her feet. Deep shock flashed through her violet eyes.

"How could this be? With me guarding Star Dou Forest, along with so many peerless foundations, we still cannot seize first place?!!"
