Xiao Wu's Heart Shatters, Tang San's Hypocrisy Exposed, Long Yun Ruthlessly Pierces Through!

Watching this analysis, the powerhouses across the continent couldn't help but gasp in unison.

"Hiss—"

"A perfect transformation, and it can actually retain all of its strength?"

"Doesn't that mean it becomes a powerhouse immediately after transforming, without any danger at all?"

"What's even more terrifying is that Godhead Fragment! That is the key to becoming a god!"

"A soul beast, actually able to receive a reward for godhood—what exactly is the origin of this Sky Screen?"

Countless exclamations and jealous murmurs intertwined in the sky.

In the core circle of the Star Dou Great Forest, beside the Lake of Life.

Gu Yuena, who had been sitting quietly, stood up abruptly the moment she saw the words "Godhead Fragment."

Her long silver hair danced violently in the gale, and her beautiful purple eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.

"Perfect transformation... Godhead Fragment..."

Gu Yuena's voice trembled; she was plunged into a state of extreme disbelief.

As a fragment of the Dragon God, she knew better than anyone how difficult it was to become a god, and even better what a Godhead Fragment represented.

It was an existence that even the gods of the God Realm regarded as a priceless treasure.

"Just how powerful is the existence behind this Sky Screen?"

"To be able to give away even a Godhead Fragment as a reward?"

Gu Yuena stared at the Sky Screen, the shock in her heart refusing to subside.

She suddenly felt that her previous understanding of this world had been far too small.

Di Tian stared at the fading Sky Screen with his massive dragon eyes, his scales trembling slightly.

He had lived for hundreds of thousands of years and had seen enough of the soul beast clan's struggles and despair.

He knew well that on this continent suppressed by the laws of the God Realm, for a soul beast to take that final step, they had to endure a terrifying heavenly tribulation.

But now.

The reward displayed on the Sky Screen was actually a Godhead Fragment.

The opportunity to achieve godhood was being handed out so casually.

"A Godhead Fragment... this is a Godhead Fragment."

He looked down at his own dragon claws, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

This Sky Screen was ranking the soul beasts, and now that the Ice Empress was fifth, where would he, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King known as the Beast God, rank?

On this Douluo Continent, besides that mysterious Nine-Colored Divine Dragon, were there other terrifying soul beasts hidden in unknown corners that even he didn't know about?

Xiong Jun grinned broadly and patted his chest carelessly.

"Boss, what are you overthinking for? You are the Beast God of our Star Dou Great Forest, and your cultivation is nearly nine hundred thousand years.

Besides that freakish Rainbow Dragon on the Sky Screen and the Lord, who else under heaven could be your opponent? This third place is absolutely yours!"

The King of Ten Thousand Demons nodded as well, his voice raspy as he chimed in:

"Xiong Jun is right, Di Tian. Your strength is plain for all to see. Although that Ice Empress has evolved into a god-level bloodline, in terms of foundation, she still cannot compare to you."

Gu Yuena stood quietly by the lake, her long silver hair fluttering in the breeze.

She withdrew her gaze from the Sky Screen, turned to look at Di Tian, and spoke in a calm voice:

"Di Tian, do not worry. You carry the bloodline of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King and are the inheritor of the Dragon God Claw. On this continent, aside from that one, there is indeed no soul beast that can surpass you in rank."

Hearing the Lord say this, the heart that Di Tian had been holding finally settled, though the flames of envy in his eyes as he watched the Sky Screen could not be hidden.

As the rolling dark red clouds above the firmament faded away, the imagery of the Sky Screen finally came to an end.

At this moment, outside Heaven Dou City, in the bamboo forest behind Rainbow Academy.

The Shrek group had searched the forest for a long time, yet they hadn't found a single decent medicinal herb, let alone any legendary immortal herbs.

Dai Mubai slammed his fist hard against a nearby bamboo stalk, making the leaves rustle.

"Damn it, why is there nothing here? The gate of this Rainbow Academy is built so grandly, yet you can't even find a hair of an immortal herb inside!"

Ma Hongjun scratched his head in frustration, muttering:

"Exactly! Just now, the Ice Empress on the Sky Screen was eating immortal herbs like they were carrots; it made my mouth water. If I could just get one, my Evil Fire would definitely be solved!"

Yu Xiaogang's face was taut, his murky eyes flashing with stubborn light.

"No, this Rainbow Academy is definitely not simple. Think about the emblem on the gate; it is exactly the same as the pattern of the Nine-Colored Divine Dragon on the Sky Screen. There must be a massive secret hidden here."

The others nodded in deep agreement. Looking at the heaven-defying rewards just distributed by the Sky Screen, the greed in each of their hearts had been stoked to the extreme.

However, amidst the noisy complaints, no one noticed that Xiao Wu, who had been following them the whole time, had disappeared without a trace.

Only Tang San, after glancing around, frowned deeply.

"Where is Xiao Wu?"

Tang San's voice was low, his gaze sweeping back and forth across the bamboo forest.

Oscar was stunned for a moment, shaking his head blankly:

"I don't know. Didn't we just say she was the most sensitive to plant auras, and tell her to head deeper to look around?"

Hearing this, Tang San's expression turned ugly in an instant.

Xiao Wu... don't tell me you found the immortal herbs and ate them in secret?

Tang San thought darkly to himself.

In his view, those immortal herbs were peerless treasures meant to help him resolve the conflict between his Twin Martial Souls and pave his future path to godhood. Xiao Wu was nothing more than a spirit beast; how could she be worthy of enjoying such divine objects alone?

The immortal herbs... can only be mine!

Tang San roared in his heart, a flash of malice crossing his eyes. He didn't even stop to consider whether Xiao Wu might be in danger; his mind was entirely consumed by the thought of the immortal herbs being monopolized.

Meanwhile, beside the Pool of Life in the Rainbow Space.

Xiao Wu sat slumped on the ground, her once-vibrant eyes now devoid of all luster.

Before her, the nine-colored ice mirror still clearly reflected the scene outside.

In the image, Tang San's hideous expression shattered the last shred of warmth remaining in Xiao Wu's heart.

"He... he really only ever saw me as a tool."

She could not bring herself to believe that the man to whom she had given her whole heart, the man for whom she had been willing to sacrifice her life, would react this way.

Upon discovering she was missing, his first instinct was to suspect her of stealing the immortal herbs for herself.

Long Yun, dressed in a white robe, stood quietly by the Pool of Life, looking down at the collapsing girl.

"Do you think this is the extent of it?"

Long Yun's voice was soft, yet carried a detachment that seemed to see through everything.

"In the original trajectory of fate, not only would you sacrifice yourself to save him, becoming his sixth spirit ring.

Even your two brothers in the Star Dou Great Forest, Da Ming and Er Ming, would eventually be forced by Martial Soul Hall to become the stepping stones for his ascension to godhood."
