Heavenly Dao Reward! Xiao Wu's Heart is Troubled!

"Poor Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, kept in the dark until the very end."

Bibi Dong whispered to herself, her tone impossible to distinguish between sympathy or mockery.

However...

"Tang San is about to receive another reward from the Heavenly Dao."

Bibi Dong's gaze turned solemn once more.

This man was deep in schemes, ruthless in his methods, and possessed a constant stream of miraculous encounters.

He was, indeed, not easy to deal with.

The Allied Forces camp.

The atmosphere inside the tent had dropped to freezing point.

Xiao Wu stared blankly at the Golden List, watching the skeptical comments scroll by, and for the first time, the unwavering love in her heart began to waver.

Before she knew of Tang San's identity as a transmigrator, she could have trusted him without a shred of hesitation.

But now... how much of his word could she believe, knowing he was someone capable of slaughtering his own sect and seizing a body to be reborn?

Yet, the Shrek members around her failed to notice her abnormality.

Their attention was entirely captured by the impending Heavenly Dao reward.

"Hahahaha! Ninth place is ours again! Tang San is awesome!"

Ma Hongjun shouted in excitement.

"Third Brother and Xiao Wu's love is truly heaven-moving; this reward is bound to be extraordinary!" Oscar chimed in with flattery.

Dai Mubai was even more high-spirited as he declared, "I reckon on this Rare Treasures List, Third Brother could take at least a few spots!

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

The group chattered incessantly, their praises ringing in the air.

Listening to their adulation, the gloom in Tang San's heart was swept away, replaced by endless smugness and arrogance.

With dual god positions and several divine artifacts in hand, I, Tang San, am undoubtedly the rightful protagonist of this world!

He basked in their worship, completely failing to notice that the body of Xiao Wu, whom he held in his arms, was growing cold bit by bit.

Unlike the clamor of the human world, the Star Dou Great Forest was currently plunged into a strange silence.

Countless powerful soul beasts, whether they were overlords slumbering in the core area or kings roaming the periphery, all cast their gazes toward the Golden List in the sky.

Their eyes were filled with shock.

"Lovesick Heartbreak Red... to think it possesses such divine efficacy."

A Dark Demon Evil God Tiger with cultivation nearing a hundred thousand years muttered to itself, its voice laced with a hint of longing.

"Perfectly masking the aura of a soul beast—isn't this the ultimate protective charm for those of us undergoing transformation and recultivation?"

"More than that! Look, after that Soft Bone Rabbit sacrificed herself, this flower was able to preserve her physical form from dissipating. This... this almost reverses the certain death of a sacrifice!"

In an instant, the entire soul beast world was in an uproar.

Sacrifice was the final gift a hundred-thousand-year soul beast could leave for their lover in a desperate situation; it was an end where their soul would scatter, with no exceptions.

But today, they had seen an exception.

By the shores of the Lake of Life.

Di Tian, Zi Ji, and the other fierce beasts gazed at the firmament with solemn expressions.

Standing before them was a woman with silver hair and violet eyes, so beautiful she seemed not of this mortal world.

She was the Sovereign of Soul Beasts, the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.

"This flower is indeed extraordinary."

Gu Yuena parted her crimson lips, her voice clear and melodic, tinged with a hint of admiration.

"A sacrifice is a cessation at the level of the rules; it uses the origin of the soul as a catalyst to merge one's entire being into another. For this flower to preserve a sliver of life from such a state, it has already touched the very edge of the rules."

Di Tian asked respectfully, "My Lord, if this item is so heaven-defying, why has it never been heard of throughout the ages?"

A flicker of contemplation crossed Gu Yuena's violet eyes.

"The image mentioned it; the conditions for plucking it are too harsh. It requires true love and pure blood to be harvested. In this world, the hardest thing to find is the word 'sincerity'."

The fierce beasts suddenly understood.

Indeed, sincerity was hard to come by.

"I just wonder, what will the reward for ninth place be?" Zi Ji's alluring face was filled with curiosity.

To have such a rare treasure ranked on the list, what kind of earth-shattering reward would the Heavenly Dao bestow?

Under the gaze of the masses, the imagery on the Heavenly Vault Golden List regarding the Lovesick Heartbreak Red slowly dissipated.

Replacing it were lines of magnificent, vast golden characters!

[Rare Treasures List, 9th Place—Lovesick Heartbreak Red, evaluation concluded!]

[Heavenly Dao rewards being issued!]

[Reward: Lovesick Heartbreak Red grade elevated, promoted to "Divine Grade Immortal Herb"!]

[Divine Grade Effect 1: Soul Power increased directly by twenty levels!]

[Divine Grade Effect 2: Reshape the physical body, recreate a divine vessel! Provides the user with one chance to return from the dead!]

Divine Grade Effect 3: If consumed by a Soul Beast, it allows for perfect transformation between human form and Soul Beast true form, without any flaws, undetectable even by gods!

BOOM—!

The moment the rewards were announced, a thunderclap resounded in the minds of every living being across the entire Douluo Continent, whether human or Soul Beast!

After a brief moment of silence, the Heavenly Vault barrage erupted with unprecedented frenzy!

[Am I seeing this right? Soul Power increased by twenty levels?! What kind of concept is that? If a Soul Saint eats it, they become a Titled Douluo instantly?!]

[Twenty levels is nothing! Look at the second effect! Returning from the dead! This is literally an extra life! Even gods don't get treatment like this, right?!]

[The most terrifying part is the third one! Perfect transformation! Even gods can't see through it! This... for Soul Beasts, this is simply a supreme treasure! With this, who needs to undergo the arduous process of reincarnation? They can just walk sideways through the human world!]

[Heaven-defying! A truly heaven-defying item! This reward is even more terrifying than that Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus!]

[That is some damn good luck!]

Star Dou Great Forest.

"What?!"

Even with Di Tian's composure, he could not help but let out an exclamation!

The other fierce beasts were all dumbfounded, their minds shaken to the core.

Perfect transformation!

Undetectable even by gods!

These words weighed heavier than Mount Tai for the Soul Beast clan!

It meant they could finally cast off the shackles of their Soul Beast identity and truly possess the possibility of integrating into the human world!

Gu Yuena's eyes, usually as calm as an ancient well, were now churning with monstrous waves.

Her delicate body trembled slightly as she murmured to herself.

"This is impossible... This kind of perfect transformation involves the laws of the origin of life... Even a God King could not achieve this..."

She looked up at the sky, her eyes filled with shock.

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

Jialing Pass, atop the city walls held by Martial Soul Hall.

Golden Crocodile Douluo and the other enshrined elders wore expressions that had turned incredibly ugly.

"It's that Shrek side again..."

One elder spoke with a dry voice.

"First the Buddha Wrath Tang Lotus, and now this Divine Grade Immortal Herb... Is the Heavenly Dao truly so unfair?"

"An increase of twenty levels of Soul Power, plus a chance to return from the dead... Tang San was already troublesome enough; with this kind of assistance, I fear he will be even harder to deal with."

Falling Devil Douluo and Thousand Jun Douluo exchanged glances, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

With two consecutive Heavenly Dao rewards falling into the hands of the enemy, how were they supposed to fight this war?
