The Sea God Trident, a Super Divine Artifact of such caliber, had only ranked fifth.
Then what kind of peerless divine weapon could possibly claim fourth place?
The golden scroll slowly unfurled. Row upon row of ancient characters appeared across the firmament, clearly reflected in the eyes of everyone below.
[Fourth Place on the Divine Artifacts List: Silver Dragon Spear!]
[Holder: Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena!]
[Origin: This spear was formed from one of the Primordial Dragon God's ribs. It contains the source powers of the Dragon God's creation and destruction, and commands the elemental origins of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space. It is the supreme Divine Artifact of the Soul Beast Clan, as well as the Silver Dragon King's companion artifact!]
[Rank: Super Divine Artifact!]
Boom!
As the words on the Golden List fully appeared, the entire Douluo Continent—both the human world and the Soul Beast forests—erupted into an unprecedented uproar.
Dragon God!
Silver Dragon King!
These names, which had existed only in the oldest legends, had now been revealed to the world so directly by the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking!
Atop the walls of Jialing Pass.
Even Pope Bibi Dong, usually so composed, changed expression abruptly when she saw the words "Silver Dragon King."
"Dragon God—the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena—she's still alive?"
Bibi Dong's voice sounded a little hoarse.
As the highest ruler of Spirit Hall, she had access to far more secrets than ordinary people. She knew very well what the Dragon God represented.
The supreme being who had once ruled over all things, and whom even the gods of the Divine Realm had needed to join forces to suppress!
And the Silver Dragon King was the half who inherited the power to control the elements when the Dragon God split apart!
Such a being had been hiding on the Douluo Continent all this time?
Qian Renxue's golden eyes were equally filled with shock.
Having inherited the Angel Godhood, she knew some of the Divine Realm's secrets and understood how tragic the Dragon God War had been.
"If even a part of the Dragon God, along with her companion artifact, can rank as a Super Divine Artifact, how powerful must the Dragon God have been at full strength?"
She murmured to herself, her understanding of power once again turned upside down.
She instinctively glanced at the master beside her.
Qian Ye still looked as languid as ever, but the hand holding his teacup had paused in midair for a moment.
Meanwhile, in the Heaven Dou Allied Forces Camp.
The atmosphere inside the central tent had grown downright eerie.
Tang San lay on the bed, staring fixedly at the Golden List in the sky, his chest heaving violently.
The resentment and unwillingness in his eyes had been replaced by an even more feverish, even more frenzied emotion.
Greed!
"Dragon God—the Dragon King—the Super Divine Artifact, Silver Dragon Spear..."
Tang San rasped the words, his voice like two sheets of sandpaper scraping together.
Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang was deathly pale, trembling all over.
"It's true... The legends were true! The Dragon God really exists, and so does the Silver Dragon King!"
As a master of theory, he had studied Soul Beasts far more deeply than most. The shock he felt now was beyond words.
"Third Brother, what's the story with this Silver Dragon King? She sounds pretty powerful."
Ma Hongjun couldn't help asking.
"Powerful doesn't begin to describe it!"
Dai Mubai drew a deep breath and said gravely, "She's the emperor of all Soul Beasts! A supreme existence on the same level as a God King!"
"What?!"
Everyone in the tent was stunned.
"So what?"
Just then, Tang San's hoarse, excited voice rang out.
He struggled to sit up, but the movement pulled at his wounds and twisted his face with pain. The fervor in his eyes, however, did not fade in the slightest.
"No matter how powerful she is, she's still a Soul Beast!"
"Soul Beasts have a fate they can't escape!"
Tang San swept his gaze across the others, his voice brimming with persuasion.
"Think about it. Why did the Heavenly Dao Gold Ranking reveal the Silver Dragon King's existence now? Why did it reveal the Silver Dragon Spear, a Super Divine Artifact?"
"This is Heaven's will!"
"Heaven is guiding me and making it up to me!"
"I lost the Sea God Trident, so Heaven has shown me another, even more powerful Super Divine Artifact!"
"As long as I can obtain the Silver Dragon Spear and absorb the Silver Dragon King's Soul Ring and Soul Bone, my strength will surpass anything I've ever had! When that happens, Qian Renxue, Qian Ye—all of them will die by my spear!"
His words shook the hearts of the Shrek Six Devils in the tent.
Oscar hesitated before speaking. "But Third Brother, that's the Silver Dragon King we're talking about. How could we possibly be a match for her?"
"Idiot!"
Tang San snapped, a murderous glint in his eyes.
"If she were truly as invincible as the legends say, why has she been hiding all this time? She must have suffered severe injuries and lost much of her strength!"
"Besides, once the Golden Ranking Inventory ends, the Heavenly Dao will surely bestow rewards! That will be her most crucial moment—and possibly the moment when she's weakest!"
"This is our only chance!"
Tang San panted heavily, greed having robbed him of his reason.
"We're going to the Star Dou Great Forest! We'll find her and seize her opportunity!"
"Subdue the Silver Dragon King and take the Silver Dragon Spear!"
"This is our only hope of turning things around!"
Under his incitement, the eyes of the once-despairing Shrek Six Devils gradually ignited with madness.
That was right. They had no way back.
Tang San was their heaven, their god.
Since their god had pointed the way, all they had to do was carry it out, no matter the cost!
"Good! Third Brother! We'll go with you!"
Dai Mubai was the first to declare his support. The others followed suit.
A frenzied hunt targeting the emperor of Soul Beasts rapidly took shape inside the stifling tent.
At Lake of Life, in the Star Dou Great Forest.
The lake shimmered with emerald waves, and the air was thick with the breath of life.
On the lakeshore, Di Tian, Zi JI, Xiong Jun, King of Ten Thousand Monsters, and the other Ferocious Beasts knelt excitedly, bowing toward a peerlessly beautiful figure at the lake's center.
She was a woman with silver hair and violet eyes, breathtakingly beautiful and dressed in a silver gown. She seemed otherworldly.
She was the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena.
"Congratulations, my lord! Our congratulations!"
"Your divine name and artifact have finally been recognized by the Heavenly Dao and spread across the continent! The revival of the Soul Beast Clan is within reach!"
Beast God Di Tian's aged voice was filled with irrepressible excitement.
Gu Yuena raised her head and gazed at the Golden List in the sky. Her violet eyes shimmered with anticipation.
She had waited for this day for far, far too long.
The Heavenly Dao's reward might be the opportunity she needed to break the final seal left behind by the Dragon God and return to the realm of God Kings!
Just then, the light from the Golden List reached its zenith.
[Inventory complete. Beginning distribution of rewards!]
[Reward for Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena: one Dragon God Heart fragment! It can help her restore her origin and recover some of the Dragon God's Power!]
As the words fell, a nine-colored orb of immense divine might descended from the heavens. It passed through layer upon layer of space and flew straight toward Gu Yuena at the center of Lake of Life!
"It's here!"
A gleam flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes. She reached out her delicate hand, ready to receive this heaven-sent opportunity.
