Just as both sides stood with swords drawn and bows bent, their negotiations on the verge of collapse, the Soul Power throughout the entire Star Dou Great Forest abruptly stilled for an instant.
A vast, noble surge of silver-white Soul Power, bearing the Dragon God Origin, shot skyward from the depths of the Lake of Life. Its moonlit radiance pierced the dense canopy and spilled over every inch of the northwestern canyon.
The lake waters parted with a thunderous roar.
A silver-haired woman with a graceful figure slowly stepped out, treading on the shimmering water.
It was none other than Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena.
Her silver eyes looked coldly into the canyon, her gaze sweeping over Xiong Jun as he struggled relentlessly within the encirclement before settling on Qian Gu Fenfeng, who held the Coiling Dragon Staff. Her cool voice pierced the night wind and rang throughout the canyon.
"Human, your scheme is unforgivable!"
Di Tian, Bi Ji, Myriad Demon King, and Scarlet King were shaken to their cores. They bowed together and called in solemn voices, "My lord!"
At that moment, the fighting spirit of every Ferocious Beast converged around Gu Yuena, forming a torrent of Soul Beasts that would never yield.
As Qian Gu Fenfeng gazed at that silver-white figure, the traces of calm composure finally faded from his face, and a sharp edge shone unrestrained in his eyes. The full strength of his god-level physique surged, and he slammed the Coiling Dragon Staff against the ground. The will of the Unyielding Staff Technique blazed like a raging fire.
"Gu Yuena, you woke up just in time." Qian Gu Fenfeng's voice echoed through the canyon.
Gu Yuena frowned slightly. "What do you want?"
"To hunt and kill."
Those simple words held not the slightest evasion.
"With the Abyssal Calamity approaching, Douluo Star faces trouble within and threats without. The Soul Beast Clan will always be a hidden threat to the continent's peace. Rather than wait for you to lead the Soul Beasts into a great war and plunge all living beings into misery, I might as well eradicate every Soul Beast in Star Dou, right here."
The instant his words fell, the auras of every powerhouse under Qian Gu Fenfeng erupted.
Yi Hongchen's Illusory Jade Golden Toad Illusion Domain expanded once more, not only locking Xiong Jun down but spreading outward to disrupt the spiritual perception of Gu Yuena and the Ferocious Beasts. Wang Hongchen's crimson-gold corrosive Soul Power churned, the power of his Blazing Golden Toad poised to unleash a fierce assault at any moment. Qiangu Qingfeng's black Purgatory energy shot into the sky, his murderous aura rolling like a tide.
The Tai Tan bloodlines of Yuanen Zhentian and Yuanen Tiandang thundered, shaking the earth as they formed up to charge. Han Tianyi's spiritual power spread into a vast net, every Ferocious Beast's attack route clear in his mind.
Qian Chenyue's Fallen Angel wings unfurled fully, pouring forth sinister Soul Power. Leng Yaozhu's heavenly fire swept across the land, while Leng Yulai's dark flames burned eerily-one phoenix, one shadow, wind and fire interweaving.
Countless black curse marks belonging to Li Mengjie hovered in the air, waiting to detonate. Xu Shengqun's majestic holy light hung high, suppressing their bestial nature. Yu Mengxian's divine Soul Power flowed, ready to heal the others at any moment.
Gu Yuena's silver hair streamed in the wind. The chill in her eyes deepened as the Dragon God's oppressive might slowly rose.
"You want to wipe out the Soul Beasts? How arrogant."
Di Tian's sharp claws scraped with a piercing screech, cold light flashing across his pitch-black dragon scales. "My lord, give the order! I am willing to die in battle to tear these humans apart!"
Bi Ji's wings trembled slightly, her compassionate gaze sweeping over their surroundings. Yet she, too, understood that there was no longer any room left for peace.
Myriad Demon King's countless vines stretched taut, ready to strike. Scarlet King's three heads roared in unison, his flames burning half the night sky red. Trapped within the formation, Xiong Jun sensed his lord's awakening, and his savage might surged once more. His Sky-Rending Claw battered the restraining Soul Power around him as he sought to break free and rush back to his own ranks.
Qian Gu Fenfeng tightened both hands around the Coiling Dragon Staff. Dark-gold patterns lit up along its entire length, the power of the Unyielding Staff Technique poised to erupt.
"Today, Star Dou will become the burial ground of the Soul Beasts."
Violent winds swept through the canyon, sending shattered stones flying.
The Silver Dragon King led the five great Ferocious Beasts against the twelve supreme powerhouses of the continent under Qian Gu Fenfeng.
A fated battle to the death, destined to enter the annals of Douluo Star, erupted with a thunderous roar.
