Nine Hundred Consecutive Victories, Heading to Sunset Forest

At that time.

Jin Feng had already spent a full four years training abroad.

Over those four years.

Aside from spending more than a month hunting a 31,000-year Golden Crocodile King in Star Dou Forest to obtain his third Soul Ring, he had spent all his remaining time traveling, cultivating, and fighting practical Soul Arena battles.

After four years of 1v1 Soul Arena combat.

Not only had he honed his blade techniques to the pinnacle of mastery, but he had also reset the Great Soul Arena's terrifying record of 900 consecutive 1v1 victories. The name "Blade Demon" had resounded throughout the Douluo Continent; everyone knew it.

However.

No one knew.

That this peerless genius, who publicly claimed to be sixteen years old and had just broken through to rank 39 Soul Elder, capable of defeating high-level Soul Ancestors across realms, was still not yet twelve.

Jin Feng had left Longxing City at the age of seven years and nine months. Four years had passed, and less than three months remained until his twelfth birthday.

Just when everyone believed.

That Jin Feng would achieve the unprecedented feat of a thousand consecutive victories at the Great Soul Arena in the Star Luo Empire's imperial capital, claiming the Great Soul Arena's highest-ranked Diamond Badge and ten million Gold Soul Coins in streak rewards.

He suddenly announced publicly.

That his final one hundred Soul Arena matches would be held at the Great Soul Arena in the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial capital.

After saying that.

He vanished as though he had evaporated from the world.

He disappeared without a trace.

Even when every faction turned the Star Luo Empire's imperial capital upside down, they failed to find any trace of the grandfather and grandchildren. For a time, countless factions grew even more curious about the background of the mysterious genius known as the "Blade Demon."

In the end.

Having searched everywhere to no avail, they could only send people to wait in the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial capital.

Little did they know.

That Jin Feng, Niu Gao, and Gu Yuena were still moving about right under their noses. Their appearances and builds, however, were now completely different from before, making them impossible to recognize.

Only after the various factions shifted their attention to the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial capital did the three of them stop purchasing metal ores. They bought a carriage and headed toward Sunset Forest within the Heaven Dou Empire.

The goal of their journey.

Was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest, the place that held countless immortal herbs.

For Jin Feng.

Setting aside the fact that the immortal herbs within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well would benefit both him and the Defense Clan.

The mere fact that Tang San was the son of his enemy, Tang Hao, meant he would never leave that treasure trove to him.

Not only that.

Any fortuitous opportunity that could help Tang San, the Child of Fortune, would be intercepted if Jin Feng could seize it. He would leave him nothing until the Clear Sky Sect had been completely destroyed.

Along the way.

When their carriage passed through Longxing City.

Jin Feng also called his uncle Niu Ben and the Defense Clan's Fourth Elder to join them.

The reason he brought Niu Ben and the Fourth Elder along was simple. The former needed immortal herbs to break through, while the latter needed to hunt for his eighth Soul Ring.

With the cultivation boost provided by the Beast Scripture.

The Defense Clan had undergone earth-shaking changes over the past few years. Its overall strength had far surpassed that of the Lower Four Sects and was second only to the weakest of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

At present.

Within the Defense Clan.

Clan Chief Niu Gao was a rank 89 Soul Douluo with the combat strength of a Titled Douluo, only one step away from breaking through to rank 90.

The Great Elder was a rank 86 Soul Douluo, the Second Elder a rank 84 Soul Douluo, and the Third Elder a rank 82 Soul Douluo.

The Fourth Elder had just broken through the rank 80 bottleneck and had yet to hunt his eighth Soul Ring.

As for Jin Feng's uncle, Niu Ben, he had progressed the most dramatically in the Defense Clan over the past few years.

Four years ago, after receiving a Soul Bone, he successfully broke through to rank 65 Soul Emperor after refining it. More than a year later, he advanced to seven rings after hunting a Soul Beast, then obtained another Soul Bone that fit him perfectly...

By now, Niu Ben had become a rank 78 Soul Sage. From Soul Emperor to Soul Sage, he had gained an average of three ranks of Soul Power per year. It was truly terrifying.

Beyond its top-tier combat strength.

The Defense Clan's middle ranks had likewise benefited from the Beast Scripture's cultivation boost over the years. More than a dozen additional Soul Sages had emerged, while Soul Emperors and Soul Kings combined numbered over a hundred. There were even more below the fourth ring...

And on this trip to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

One of Jin Feng's three main objectives was to find suitable immortal herbs for his rank 89 grandfather Niu Gao and rank 78 Soul Sage uncle Niu Ben, allowing each of them to break through.

Once the two of them completed their breakthroughs.

The Defense Clan would have one Titled Douluo, five eight-ring Soul Douluos, and more than a dozen Soul Sages. It would thoroughly rise into the ranks of the continent's powerful factions.

Apart from the Defense Clan's astonishing growth.

Jin Feng's advancement in rank had also been considerable.

Even after his body had been enhanced by the Golden Horned Behemoth Origin Blood, raising his genetic level far beyond that of ordinary people and making the Soul Power required for each rank many times greater than that of Soul Masters at the same level, he had still gained fifteen ranks of Soul Power in four years, advancing from a rank 24 Soul Grandmaster to a rank 39 Soul Elder.

Furthermore.

The third Soul Skills provided by the 31,000-year Golden Crocodile King, [Beast God Transformation] and [Golden Tail Rending Strike], were even more astonishingly powerful.

[Beast God Transformation] was an enhancement-type Soul Skill. Once activated, it increased the Golden Horned Behemoth martial soul's size by 50%, while increasing all attributes such as speed, strength, and defense by 150% for two hours.

[Golden Tail Rending Strike] was a single-target burst Soul Skill. It charged power through the Golden Horned Behemoth's tail and could inflict 300% damage upon an enemy.

And over these years.

Under Jin Feng's careful feeding.

The Golden Horned Behemoth martial soul's normal size had grown from ten meters to twenty meters.

If it were further enhanced by the 50% size increase of its third Soul Skill, [Beast God Transformation], and the doubled size granted by the True Body Heaven and Earth secret art, it could reach a terrifying sixty meters... becoming a true giant beast.

If such a size appeared on the continent and was seen by others, everyone would likely think that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had escaped from Star Dou Forest.

Besides that.

Gu Yuena's rank had also kept pace with Jin Feng's over the past few years. She was currently also a rank 39 Soul Elder.

When she broke through rank 30, another seal on her internal origin had been released. She had only managed to stabilize it after consuming a bottle of blood whose genetic concentration and energy had grown even stronger due to Jin Feng's increased rank.

And this time.

Di Tian's gift of thanks to Jin Feng.

Was an extremely remote metal mine. It took the Golden Horned Behemoth an entire month of mining and Devouring before it could store it all within its Internal World, which had already expanded to several kilometers across.

That time.

The Golden Horned Behemoth had feasted to its heart's content.

After traveling at full speed for some time.

Jin Feng's group finally arrived at Sunset Forest near the Heaven Dou Empire's imperial capital.

After entering Sunset Forest.

Niu Gao immediately asked Jin Feng, "Xiao Feng, which way should we go to find that treasure ground you mentioned before, the one with many immortal herbs that can help us break through?"

Before this.

Niu Gao had found it difficult to understand why Jin Feng had suddenly said they were coming to Sunset Forest.

After all, for those about to break through and for the Fourth Elder, who had already reached rank 80, Star Dou Forest was more suitable in terms of both the quality and number of Soul Beasts.

Naturally, Jin Feng would not reveal that he possessed memories of a previous life.

He could only explain to his grandfather that his Divine Inheritance recorded the existence of a treasure ground in Sunset Forest where many immortal herbs grew and could help Soul Masters break through...

And now.

Faced with his grandfather's question.

Jin Feng did not say that he also had no idea of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well's exact location and would need to search bit by bit.

Instead, he instinctively turned to look at the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, who had already blossomed into a graceful young woman beside him. "Na'er, after entering this forest, have you sensed any familiar aura or a summons?"
