Yet at this moment, deep astonishment surfaced in Gu Yuena's usually indifferent violet eyes.
"Life Laws Fragments..."
Gu Yuena murmured softly to herself, an undisguised gravity in her voice.
"Even the Goddess of Life in the God Realm only controls the complete Life Laws.
Yet the existence behind this Sky Screen can casually bestow a fragment of the Laws. Even if it is merely a fragment, it is enough to let an ordinary being touch the threshold of godhood."
"The reward for seventh place is already this precious. Then... what terrifying fortune will the one ranked first receive?"
At this thought, even the sovereign of Soul Beasts could not help but feel a powerful surge of anticipation and curiosity.
Just then.
Three meteor-like spheres of light tore through space above the heavens. Carrying sacred and boundless auras, they slowly descended above the Lake of Life before coming to a halt in front of Bi Ji.
Looking at the three spheres of light before her, which radiated endless vitality and fluctuations of the Laws, Bi Ji's beautiful face was full of reverence.
She did not immediately store away or absorb the rewards as King of Ten Thousand Demons had done earlier.
Bi Ji took a deep breath and calmed her somewhat excited heart. Then, beneath the astonished gazes of the Ferocious Beasts, she turned around and walked with graceful steps to Gu Yuena.
She bowed slightly and offered up the three dazzling spheres of light with both hands, saying respectfully:
"My Sovereign, Bi Ji has only come this far through your grace. I dare not enjoy the Life Laws Fragments and Heart of the Emerald Swan Emperor bestowed by the Sky Screen on my own. I offer them to you, hoping that you will soon recover from your injuries and reclaim your divine position."
The moment those words were spoken.
The Ferocious Beasts around the Lake of Life were first stunned. Then, their pupils suddenly contracted as towering waves surged through their hearts!
"Wait..."
"Lady Bi Ji can actually take out her rewards and offer them to the Sovereign?"
"Doesn't that mean... the rewards bestowed by the Sky Screen are not bound to their recipients? They can be transferred, or even seized?"
King of Ten Thousand Demons and Xiong Jun exchanged a glance, each seeing the fleeting strange glimmer in the other's eyes.
This discovery was simply too shocking.
If Sky Screen rewards could be plundered, then once this news spread to the human world or among the Soul Beasts, what kind of bloody madness would engulf the entire Douluo Continent?
Gu Yuena looked at the three spheres of light Bi Ji offered, and a trace of warmth flashed through her beautiful violet eyes.
She extended a pale, jade-like finger and lightly tapped the air. A gentle force sent the three spheres of light back before Bi Ji.
"Bi Ji, you carry great love in your heart and have saved countless lives in the Star Dou Great Forest. This is the blessing you deserve."
Gu Yuena's voice was cool and ethereal.
"My injuries cannot be healed by these mere Life Laws Fragments.
The Star Dou Great Forest needs a true guardian. Now that you have received this opportunity, absorb it as soon as possible. Do not disappoint the Sky Screen's gift."
A touch of emotion flashed through Bi Ji's eyes upon hearing this, and she no longer declined.
"Thank you, my Sovereign. Bi Ji will not disappoint your expectations."
She immediately sat cross-legged beside the Lake of Life.
As Bi Ji formed hand seals with both hands, the Heart of the Emerald Swan Emperor instantly transformed into a stream of emerald light and merged into her chest.
Immediately afterward, the surging cultivation of four hundred thousand years, along with the Life Laws Fragment radiating a profound aura, entered her body with a clear cry.
Boom!
In an instant, an indescribably terrifying storm of life erupted from Bi Ji's center and swept wildly across the entire Star Dou Great Forest!
The previously clear Lake of Life began to rise frantically at that moment.
Life energy so dense it nearly became tangible turned into a vast mist that shrouded tens of thousands of meters around them.
The withered ancient trees regained their vitality at that moment. After inhaling just one breath of the mist, the cultivation years within countless ordinary low-level Soul Beasts began to soar wildly!
Under the shocked gazes of the Ferocious Beasts.
The phantom of the Emerald Swan behind Bi Ji began to expand and transform wildly.
Noble golden patterns began to grow across its originally emerald-green wings.
Above its head, a crown condensed from pure life energy silently emerged!
Her aura rose frantically.
Six hundred thousand years...
Seven hundred thousand years...
Eight hundred thousand years...
Nine hundred thousand years...
Only when that aura reached the terrifying height of nine hundred and ninety thousand years did it slowly stop!
At this moment, Bi Ji stood only one step away from the legendary million-year divine realm!
As the light faded.
Bi Ji slowly opened her eyes. Within her originally emerald-green pupils, Rainbow Divine Light now faintly flowed.
Her appearance became even more perfect, her skin as white as snow. Every movement carried a transcendent beauty of life, as though she were a divine maiden who had stepped forth from the fountainhead of life itself.
"Nine hundred and ninety thousand years... the Emerald Swan Empress."
Di Tian looked at Bi Ji as she was now, his heart deeply shaken.
In terms of cultivation limits, Bi Ji had actually surpassed him, the Beast God!
Gu Yuena looked at Bi Ji, whose transformation was complete, and gave a slight nod. Her lips parted as she let out a heartfelt sigh:
"To create a near-million-year Soul Beast powerhouse without any effort at all... the Sky Screen's methods are truly inconceivable."
"Bi Ji, all you need to do next is refine the Life Laws Fragments. Then you will have a chance to ascend to the heavens in a single step!"
Meanwhile.
Heaven Dou Empire, Rainbow Academy.
Within Elemental Space.
Poison Douluo Dugu Bo stood beside Long Yun. Watching the miraculous transformation displayed on the Sky Screen, a layer of cold sweat had unknowingly formed on his forehead.
"A nine-hundred-and-ninety-thousand-year healing-type Soul Beast... If she became a soul ring, or if someone obtained her soul bone, who in this world could still kill them?"
Dugu Bo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and spoke with lingering fear.
But soon, he sighed in relief:
"What a pity. Such an existence is the supreme ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest. Whoever dares set their sights on her probably would not even know how they died.
Fortunately, the Emerald Swan does not enjoy fighting. Otherwise, the borders of the human empires would never know peace."
After sighing, Dugu Bo withdrew his gaze and turned his somewhat anxious eyes toward Long Yun, the Nine-Colored Man before him.
Thinking of the many miracles revealed by the Sky Screen, he became even more anxious about the Jade Phosphorous Serpent poison in his body and the safety of his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
"Your Excellency Long Yun..."
Dugu Bo bowed slightly, his tone carrying a hint of ingratiation and reverence:
"Since we have already agreed to use my Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well as payment, when do you intend to depart and detoxify Yanyan?"
Long Yun sat upright in a rattan chair, holding a cup of tea that gave off a faint fragrance. His expression was exceptionally calm.
He took a light sip of tea and said slowly:
"No rush."
"But the poison in Yanyan's body..."
Dugu Bo was somewhat anxious and could not help stepping forward.
Long Yun slightly raised his eyelids and looked at him calmly.
"With the pills I gave you, the poison in her body will not flare up for at least three years. You may rest assured."
After saying that, Long Yun set down his teacup, turned his head, and gazed into the distance with deep eyes.
He had an instinctive feeling.
This trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would bring him far more than merely a treasure land.
The Dragon Clan was time to awaken!!
