As a voice carrying effortless authority rang out across the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent, the Golden Ranking revealed the next soul master to enter the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking.
[Second place on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking: Li Yuanba, King of National Peace of the Sun Moon Empire!]
Heaven Dou Empire, Skywater Academy.
"The Hegemon of Chu, Xiang Yu, and Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, who ranked third on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, both have two divine martial souls. Since Li Yuanba ranks second, above both of them, he undoubtedly has two divine martial souls as well. I just wonder what they are, and whether one of them is a divine beast martial soul. After all, neither Xiang Yu nor Bai Qi has one."
Shui Bing'er's beautiful eyes remained fixed on the Golden Light Curtain in the sky. As her delicate lips parted and she murmured to herself, curiosity spread across her face.
As soon as Shui Bing'er finished speaking, Shui Yue'er, who stood beside her, spoke up.
"Once the Golden Ranking finishes introducing Li Yuanba in second place, it'll reveal who ranks first on the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking. I wonder if my guess will be right. Could first place belong to Xu Que, the emperor of the Sun Moon Empire?"
As she spoke, Shui Yue'er wore the same curious expression as Shui Bing'er.
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City, Star Luo Imperial Palace.
"King of National Peace? Does that mean a king who brings peace and stability to the nation?"
The White Tiger Emperor pondered aloud as he gazed at the Golden Light Curtain in the sky.
Star Dou Forest, Land of Great Misfortune.
"Both the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent revolve around soul masters and soul beasts. Now that the soul master ranking is almost over, the Golden Ranking should announce a ranking for soul beasts next, shouldn't it? If it does, then with me here, the Douluo Continent will surely defeat the Sun Moon Continent and win back a round."
As Di Tian gazed at the Golden Light Curtain in the sky and thought to himself, anticipation and confidence appeared on his face.
The Sun Moon Continent?
Di Tian had visited it many years ago.
He also knew what powerful soul beasts lived there.
The only one worthy of his attention was the Evil Emperor.
As for the others?
In Di Tian's eyes, they were all trash.
At that moment, Di Tian still had no idea that Xu Que's arrival had transformed the Sun Moon Continent's soul master world, making it far stronger than before. The Sun Moon Continent's Soul Beast Realm had likewise undergone earth-shattering changes because of Xu Que, becoming far stronger and more terrifying than ever.
To take just one example, the Evil Emperor, whose cultivation exceeded seven hundred thousand years, could not even rank among the ten strongest in the Sun Moon Continent's current Soul Beast Realm.
The reason the Hegemon of Chu, Xiang Yu, had chosen the godhood of the River God, a First-Level God, was also to give it to an immensely powerful soul beast closely connected to water.
That soul beast?
Its true form was a monkey.
The strongest monkey in the world!
Mighty Vajra Apes and Titan Giant Apes were nothing but lesser monkeys before him.
Soon, Li Yuanba's introduction began.
[Li Yuanba, male, is a native of the Sun Moon Empire on the Sun Moon Continent. He is the single most capable subordinate of the Sun-Moon Lord, Xu Que.] [Like the Hegemon of Chu, Xiang Yu, and Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi, who previously entered the Sun-Moon Continent Prodigy Ranking, Li Yuanba possesses two divine martial souls.] [Li Yuanba's first divine martial soul is a tool martial soul.] [Its name is the Thunder-Drumming Urn-Gold Hammers.] [It is an attack-oriented hammer-type tool martial soul.] [Li Yuanba's second divine martial soul is a beast martial soul.] [Its name is the Golden-Winged Great Peng.] [It is a flying-type beast martial soul.] [Before introducing Li Yuanba's two martial souls, we must first focus on Li Yuanba himself.] [As everyone knows, most geniuses first reveal their talent after awakening their martial souls.] [What about Li Yuanba?] [He was different!] [He began displaying his brilliance and distinguishing himself the moment he was born!] [Why do we say this?] [Because he possessed a powerful constitution from birth.] [That constitution is called the vajra body.] [Not only does the vajra body make Li Yuanba's entire body indestructible, it also grants him the immense strength to drag dragons and elephants.] [Because he possessed a vajra body from birth, Li Yuanba was honored as a born vajra!]
On a country lane leading toward the Star Luo Empire.
When the voice of effortless authority from the Golden Light Curtain reached Dai Mubai's ears as he drove the carriage, he exclaimed, "I only gained an indestructible body after absorbing the immortal herb, singular velvet sky chrysanthemum. But Li Yuanba? He was born with a vajra body and was already indestructible! Compare goods, and you want to throw yours away; compare people, and you'll die of frustration!"
Heaven Dou Empire, an abandoned courtyard.
"The Golden-Winged Great Peng, a divine beast martial soul? Wait, how is that right? My Fire Phoenix is only a top-tier beast martial soul. Why does some bird martial soul called the Golden-Winged Great Peng get to be a divine beast martial soul? Is the Golden Ranking sure it hasn't made a mistake?"
Ma Hongjun frowned at the contents of the Golden Light Curtain in the sky, his face full of indignation as he spoke.
[At the age of six, after awakening the Thunder-Drumming Urn-Gold Hammers and Golden-Winged Great Peng martial souls, Li Yuanba possessed rank-thirty innate soul power, just like the Hegemon of Chu, Xiang Yu, and Lord Wu'an, Bai Qi.] [In addition to rank-thirty innate soul power, the Thunder-Drumming Urn-Gold Hammers and Golden-Winged Great Peng martial souls also granted Li Yuanba two domains and three innate skills.] [One domain came from the Golden-Winged Great Peng martial soul. Its name is the Demon King Domain!] [When the Demon King Domain is activated, all soul beasts and beast martial soul wielders within it suffer a one-hundred-percent reduction in strength, along with numerous negative effects. These include, but are not limited to, uncontrollable fear, trembling, and the failure of the skills they pride themselves on. Even true dragons and wielders of true dragon-type martial souls are no exception! In addition, the user of the Demon King Domain gains a one-hundred-percent increase in strength.] [The other domain came from the Thunder-Drumming Urn-Gold Hammers martial soul. Its name is the Divine Punishment Domain.] [Upon activating the Divine Punishment Domain, the user enters the divine punishment state. In this state, the domain's user can command the raging thunder high in the heavens, effectively gaining the ability Thunder Element Control.] [The Divine Punishment Domain comes with a skill called Heavenly Punishment Descends, which is both powerful and highly unusual. It is unusual because it can only be used once. Once activated, it can directly erase any powerful being below the level of a god, annihilating their flesh, body, mind, and soul until nothing remains.] [Having covered the two domains, we will now discuss the three innate skills.] [The first innate skill comes from the Golden-Winged Great Peng martial soul.]
