Hearing the question from the heavens, the Storm Dragon King slowly opened its azure-gold eyes.
Its gaze seed to pierce through space, eting Gu Yuena's eyes for a mont in the distant Star Dou Great Forest.
Then, it uttered a low, majestic, yet crystal-clear voice:
"I refuse."
Decisive and without hesitation.
"Alas..."
A silent, disappointed sigh echoed throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
Countless Soul Masters and Soul Beasts felt imnse regret.
They had missed the unparalleled opportunity to witness the clash of two supre Soul Beasts.
"What a pity..."
"The Storm Dragon King actually refused outright!"
"Perhaps it felt it lacked the certainty of victory? Or perhaps it didn't want to fight the Silver Dragon King to the death?"
Various speculations surfaced in people's minds.
Only a few top-tier beings vaguely understood the deeper reasons.
Just then!
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
On the heavens, the rightmost vortex, like three pebbles thrown into a calm pond,...
Three distinct yet harmoniously intertwined halos of light rippled outwards! The three halos slowly rotated and rged, ultimately transforming into a ssage inscribed by the power of heaven and earth:
[Power Ranking, Number One]
[Na: Lu Xiao]
[Affiliation: Beidou Academy]
[Soul Type: Human]
[Level: 105]
[Power Assessnt Summary: Cannot be asured by conventional Soul Master systems. He has already broken through the level 100 barrier, entering the realm of gods, and his foundation is far deeper than that of ordinary gods. He possesses multiple trump cards at different levels. Considering all his known and deduced unknown thods and foundational enhancents, in the current Douluo Continent environnt, his peak combat power has reached… God King Realm.]
[Rewards: Strength increased to Level 3 God, one opportunity for artifact evolution, Martial Soul compatibility increased by 50%, physique doubled (to be issued).]
God King Realm!
When those last three words clearly entered the eyes of all beings, the entire Douluo Continent seed to be paused.
What erupted imdiately was an invisible ntal storm more violent and frenzied than ever before!
If before it was rely the shock and speculation brought about by the rankings, then now, the heavens explained Lu Xiao's "first place" in the most unambiguous language.
Multiple trump cards, peak combat power...
God King Realm!
"God... God King?"
"My God!"
"He really... reached that legendary realm?"
Shock, horror, awe, fear, disbelief… a tsunami of emotions swept through every corner!
All previous doubts and wishful thinking were utterly crushed in this mont!
Bibi Dong slumped onto the papal throne.
Her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, her beautiful face drained of color.
She pursued the Rakshasa Godhood!
She knew how difficult it was to beco a first-level god, and a God-King was an unattainable legend!
And Lu Xiao… a human, was actually assessed by the Heavenly Canopy as possessing the combat power of a God-King?
This was no longer a difference, but an insurmountable chasm!
It was the difference between an ant and the heavens!
Her previous probing and targeting of the Beidou Academy now seed like suicidal!
To confront soone who might possess the combat power of a God-King, and whose intentions were unclear.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan… all the high-ranking mbers of human forces were now experiencing extrely complex emotions.
On one hand, the ergence of such a towering pillar among humans seed to give them the confidence to confront the top forces of soul beasts.
On the other hand, this colossal pillar was far too mysterious and powerful, completely beyond their comprehension and control.
No one could predict where the future of the continent's overall situation would lead. The core of the Star Dou Great Forest was deathly silent.
Gu Yuena's purple eyes were fixed on the words "God King Realm."
For the first ti, a clear emotional fluctuation appeared on her exquisite face.
It was a complex expression mixed with shock, understanding, resentnt, and deep fear.
"Multiple trump cards, God King Realm combat power!"
She repeated softly, each word carrying imnse weight.
"So that's how it is. My feeling last ti was right. The way he used his power indeed doesn't belong to the conventional system of this realm."
Di Tian's heavily injured body trembled slightly, his dragon eyes filled with despair and helplessness.
His master was infinitely close to the God King, which was already the limit of his understanding.
And Lu Xiao was directly at the God King Realm combat power!
How could they possibly contend with this?
The ferocious beasts like Xiong Jun and the Ten Thousand Demon King were even more terrified, not daring to even breathe.
The slight confidence they had gained earlier because of the Silver Dragon King's ranking had vanished completely.
The vast voice from the heavens didn't give the spectators much ti to catch their breath or process the shock.
[Gu Yuena! Do you wish to apply to open the 'Endless Arena' and challenge the number one, Lu Xiao?]
Challenge the number one!
Challenge the enigmatic Lu Xiao, assessed as possessing peak "God-King" level combat power!
This question was like ice water thrown into a boiling oil pan.
Instantly, it ignited the suppressed emotions of all the spectators!
Deathly silence!
After the extre silence ca a volcanic eruption of fervor and anticipation!
"A challenge! Is the Silver Dragon King going to challenge Lu Xiao?"
"God-King versus God-King! This is the true ultimate battle!"
"Heavens! To witness a battle of this caliber in one's lifeti?"
"..."
Everyone understood that this would be an unprecedented, perhaps even unparalleled, epic duel!
Two beings assessed by the heavens as possessing "God-King level" and "infinitely close to God-King level" combat power. Facing each other head-on on the Endless Arena!
The intensity, the clash and interpretation of the rules, would likely be a sight even the God Realm rarely witnessed!
The Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Seagod Island… all human forces held their breath, their hearts pounding.
On one hand, deep down, they secretly hoped Lu Xiao would win, as it concerned the dignity and future of human soul masters.
On the other hand, they felt an instinctive fear and trembling at this battle that exceeded their comprehension.
In the Star Dou Great Forest, all the soul beasts… including the heavily injured Di Tian, nervously looked towards their king.
This battle was not only about rankings and rewards, but also about whether the soul beast race could regain its footing in top-tier combat power.
It concerned the future fortune of the entire race!
Inside the Beidou Academy.
The excitent and pride on the faces of Sikong Zhen, Sun Wukong, and Li Bai were instantly replaced by solemnity.
They knew how powerful the Dean was!
But their opponent was, after all, the Silver Dragon King, a being who controlled the seven elents and wielded a super artifact.
He was also considered an ancient being with terrifying power!
Lu Xiao's brows twitched almost imperceptibly.
"Challenge ... Gu Yuena."
Lu Xiao wasn't too surprised; instead, a sense of understanding rose within him.
Given Gu Yuena's personality and sense of responsibility towards the soul beast race, this battle was almost impossible for her to avoid.
"Perfect, let see just how far you can wield the elental authority of the Dragon God, now that you've recovered from your injuries and wield the Silver Dragon Spear."
A barely perceptible anticipation flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes.
Fighting an opponent like Gu Yuena!
For him, it was also a rare experience and a test.
Star Dou Great Forest.
On Gu Yuena's exquisite face, all hesitation and weighing of options vanished in an instant.
In her purple eyes, only a cold fla burning with fighting spirit remained.
She slowly raised her hand.
Seven-colored elental light flowed around her slender fingertips.
"Challenge."
Her clear and firm voice responded distinctly to the heavens through her spiritual will.
There were no grand words, only the most concise decision.
Almost the instant her words fell!
"Boom boom boom!"
Above the sky, an unprecedented, dazzling golden light erupted, seemingly capable of tearing the heavens apart!
Two enormous pillars of light, more magnificent and refined than ever before, appeared, seemingly composed of pure rule runes.
One descended precisely upon Lu Xiao in the Beidou Academy plaza.
The other traversed space, enveloping Gu Yuena in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest!
This teleportation seed to be taken extrely seriously even by the sky itself.
The space of the endless arena violently distorted, expanded, and solidified amidst the golden light!
The consciousness of the spectators was drawn into a vaster, more stable, and strange space with countless mysterious runes flowing along its boundaries.
The spatial intensity here far surpassed that of any previous arena.
It seed specially designed to withstand the clash of God-King level power!
The golden light gradually dissipated.
In the center of the endless arena, two figures faced each other.
On the left, Lu Xiao, still dressed in simple white robes, stood with his hands behind his back.
No powerful divine energy fluctuations or terrifying aura emanated from him; he was as calm as a bottomless ancient well.
Yet, it naturally beca the "center" of this space.
On the right, Gu Yuena's silver hair cascaded like a waterfall!
She held a long spear, entirely silver-white, elegantly designed, its tip shimring with countless elents. A divine artifact, the Silver Dragon Spear!
Around her, the radiance of the seven basic elents flickered and flowed like breath, forming a perfectly harmonious domain.
It resonated subtly with the entire arena space!
The vast elental pressure was like a sleeping ocean, calm yet containing the power to destroy heaven and earth.
Two of the strongest beings of this era!
On this ultimate arena, constructed by the rules of the heavens and powerful enough to withstand a battle between god-kings, the final battle was about to unfold—a battle that would determine the number one on the power rankings and could profoundly influence the future of the continent…!
All living beings on the entire Douluo Continent!
Whether human or soul beast, whether powerful or mortal!
At this mont, all their minds and eyes were fixed on that endless, golden arena!
The battle of god-kings was about to begin!
