Heaven's Dao Reward! Xiao Wu's Heart Was in Turmoil!

"Poor hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast. It was kept in the dark until the day it died."

Bibi Dong murmured softly. It was impossible to tell whether her tone held pity or mockery.

However...

"Tang San is about to receive another reward from Heaven's Dao."

Bibi Dong's gaze turned solemn once more.

This man was cunning and ruthless, and fortune seemed to smile on him time and time again.

He truly wasn't easy to deal with.

Allied Forces Camp.

The atmosphere inside the tent had sunk to freezing point.

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the Golden List and the doubtful comments. For the first time, the unwavering love in her heart began to waver.

Before she knew Tang San was a transmigrator, she could believe him without hesitation.

But now... could she still trust the words of someone who could turn against his own sect and kill its members, then seize a new life through possession?

Yet none of the Shrek members around her noticed anything amiss.

Their attention had been completely captured by the approaching reward from Heaven's Dao.

"Hahahaha! It's ours again! Ninth place! Tang San is awesome!"

Ma Hongjun shouted excitedly.

"Third Brother and Xiao Wu's love moved Heaven and Earth. Their reward is bound to be extraordinary!" Oscar chimed in with more praise.

Dai Mubai was even more fired up. "I bet Third Brother will claim at least several places on this Rare Treasures List!

"The Sea God Trident, the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red! What does the Angel God have that could compare to Third Brother?"

Everyone talked over one another, showering him with praise.

As Tang San listened to their compliments, the gloom in his heart vanished, replaced by boundless pride and arrogance.

With Dual Godhood and several Divine Artifacts in hand, I, Tang San, am already the undisputed protagonist of this world!

He basked in everyone's adoration, completely unaware that Xiao Wu, in his arms, was growing colder by the second.

Unlike the clamor of the human world, the Star Dou Great Forest had fallen into an eerie silence.

Countless powerful Soul Beasts, from the overlords sleeping in the core region to the kings prowling the outskirts, all turned their eyes toward the Golden List in the sky.

Their gazes were filled with shock.

"The Lovesick Heartbreak Red... it actually has such miraculous effects."

A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, whose cultivation was nearing a hundred thousand years, murmured. A trace of longing colored its voice.

"It perfectly conceals a Soul Beast's aura. Isn't this the greatest protection we could ask for when we take human form and cultivate anew?"

"More than that! Look: after the Soft Bone Rabbit sacrificed itself, this flower actually kept its true form from dissipating. Th-this practically reverses the certainty of death that comes with a sacrifice!"

The entire world of Soul Beasts erupted into excitement.

Sacrifice was the final gift a hundred-thousand-year Soul Beast could leave its beloved in a desperate moment—and the end that scattered its soul and spirit, without exception.

But today, they had seen an exception.

Beside the Lake of Life.

Di Tian, Zi JI, and the other Ferocious Beasts gazed solemnly up at the sky.

Before them stood a silver-haired, violet-eyed woman of such beauty she seemed otherworldly.

She was the Soul Beast Co-ruler, Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.

"This flower is indeed extraordinary."

Gu Yuena parted her lips, her clear voice carrying a hint of admiration.

"A sacrifice is an erasure at the level of the rules. It takes one's soul origin as its catalyst and merges everything one has into another person's body.

"For this flower to preserve even a sliver of life from that process means it has already touched the very edge of the rules."

Di Tian asked respectfully, "My lord, if this object is so defiant of the heavens, why have we never heard of it throughout the ages?"

A thoughtful glimmer passed through Gu Yuena's violet eyes.

"The scene mentioned that its picking conditions are exceedingly strict. It can only be plucked with sincere love and pure blood. In this world, nothing is harder to find than sincerity."

The Ferocious Beasts suddenly understood.

Indeed, sincerity was hard to find.

"I wonder what the reward for ninth place will be," Zi JI said, curiosity written all over her alluring face.

If Heaven's Dao could list such a rare treasure, just how earth-shattering would the reward it bestowed be?

Under the watchful eyes of countless beings, the images of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red on the Heavenly Vault Golden List slowly faded.

In their place appeared line after line of grand, golden characters!

[The Rare Treasures List's ninth place—Lovesick Heartbreak Red. Review complete!]

[Heaven's Dao reward issued!]

[Reward: The Lovesick Heartbreak Red's grade is raised, ascending to "Divine-Grade Immortal Herb"!]

[Divine effect one: Soul Power increases directly by twenty levels!]

[Divine effect two: Rebuild the body and forge a divine form! The user gains one chance to return from the dead!]

[Divine effect three: When consumed by a Soul Beast, it can perfectly transform between human form and its true Soul Beast form, leaving no flaws for even gods to detect!]

Boom!

The instant the reward was announced, a thunderclap rang out in the minds of every living being across Douluo Continent, human and Soul Beast alike!

After a brief silence, the comments streaming across the sky erupted with a fury unlike anything before!

[Did I read that right? Twenty levels of Soul Power, just like that?! What does that even mean? A Soul Saint eats it and becomes a Titled Douluo on the spot?!]

[Twenty levels are nothing! Look at the second effect! It brings you back from the dead! That's an extra life! Even the gods don't get treatment like that, do they?!]

[The third effect is the most terrifying! A perfect transformation! Even gods can't see through it!

"Th-this is an unrivaled treasure for Soul Beasts! With this, who needs to cultivate anew in human form? They can walk freely through the human world!"]

[Defying the heavens! A truly heaven-defying treasure! This reward is even more terrifying than the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus!]

[Their luck is just ridiculous!]

Star Dou Great Forest.

"What?!"

Even Di Tian, usually so composed, couldn't stop himself from gasping in shock!

The other Ferocious Beasts were all dumbstruck, their minds reeling.

A perfect transformation!

Even gods couldn't detect it!

For the Soul Beast Clan, those words weighed heavier than a mountain!

They meant Soul Beasts could completely escape the shackles of their kind and truly gain the chance to enter human society.

Even Gu Yuena's usually placid violet eyes were now churning with enormous waves.

Her delicate body trembled slightly as she murmured to herself.

"This is impossible... A perfect transformation like this involves the rules of life's origin... Even a God King can't achieve it..."

She looked toward the sky, her eyes filled with shock.

"Divine-Grade Immortal Herb... What a Divine-Grade Immortal Herb!"

Atop the city walls at Jialing Pass, on Spirit Hall's side.

The faces of Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other consecrated elders had turned utterly grim.

"Shrek's side again..."

One of the consecrated elders spoke in a dry voice.

"First the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, and now this Divine-Grade Immortal Herb... Is Heaven's Dao truly so unjust?"

"Twenty levels of Soul Power, plus a chance to return from the dead... Tang San was already a handful. With this kind of help, he'll be even harder to deal with."

Demon Subduing Douluo and Qian Jun Douluo exchanged glances, both seeing the worry in the other's eyes.

Two Heaven's Dao rewards in a row had fallen into their enemy's hands. How were they supposed to fight this battle?
