Douluo Continent: A Review of the Top Ten Martial Souls, Qian Renxue Breaks Through Defenses

Chapter 62 Third on the Soul Beast Ranking: Fire Dragon King

As the smoke from the battle on Poseidon Island gradually dissipated, the Seven Gods struggled to their feet, gazing into the depths of the sea with eyes filled with awe and excitement.

Little White also rose from the sea, feeling the renewed stability of the divine island, and tears streamed down her face.

"High Priest, Sea God...we have protected the divine island."

Deep in the ocean, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King lurked at the bottom of the trench, its aura weak and its eyes filled with humiliation and fear.

It finally understood that there was an insurmountable gap between gods and false gods. Today, the sea god spared its life, but also completely shattered its idea of ​​challenging the sea god. It could only obediently lie dormant in the deep sea and dare not easily set foot on the surface of the sea again.

The appearance of this divine thought of the sea god once again shook the continent.

Whether it was Emperor Tian of the Starry Sky, the Evil Emperor of the Demon Forest, or various human forces, they all clearly felt that supreme divine power and were deeply shocked.

Just then, the Soul Beast Ranking changed again, with the third-ranked beast also making the list.

[Third on the Soul Beast Ranking: Fire Dragon King]

[Affiliation: Skywalker Academy]

【Duration: 1200000 years】

[Evaluation: Originally the Fire Dragon King, a first-level deity in the God Realm, he perished and was buried in the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, barely clinging to life. Later, he was subdued by Li Tianyi, the dean of Tianxing Academy, and regained some of his strength.]

[Reward: Restored to peak level 1 god-like combat power.]

Above the sky, the golden light of the third-ranked Soul Beast had not yet faded. The three words "Fire Dragon King" carried the pressure of a first-level god, imprinted on every inch of Douluo Continent like a red-hot branding iron, and even the air seemed to be scorched by the crimson flames.

With 1.2 million years of cultivation as a foundation, the reward directly points to the combat power of a peak first-level god. This leapfrog improvement is far more impactful than the previous advancements of Emperor Tian and the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.

After all, while the other two had reached god-level combat power, they had not yet reached the true god level, while the Fire Dragon King was a true existence standing at the peak of the first-level god in the original god realm.

Starry Sky Forest, Lake of Life.

The lake surface, which had previously been rippling due to the residual water-based divine power of the Sea God's divine will, was now steaming up wisps of white mist under the intense pressure of the Fire Dragon King.

Half of the exotic flowers and plants on the shore had their leaves curled up, and only the core spiritual plant rooted at the bottom of the lake was barely able to survive under the protection of the dragon god's essence that Gu Yuena unconsciously released.

The million-year-old Black Dragon King's body, which was suspended in mid-air, sank slightly uncontrollably the moment the crimson dragon's might swept over it. His golden eyes were filled with solemnity and a trace of undisguised fear.

He could clearly sense that the divine power of fire coming from the direction of Tianxing Academy not only contained destructive power capable of destroying the world, but also carried the unique law suppression of the gods.

Even though he was the son of the Dragon God and had cultivated for millions of years, there was still an insurmountable gap between him and a peak first-level deity.

"A first-level deity... who is actually the Fire Dragon King of the original God Realm."

Di Tian's dragon voice was low and hoarse, filled with disbelief and trembling, "During the great war in the God Realm back then, the dragon gods were almost all killed or wounded. It is said that the Fire Dragon King had long since perished and was buried in the mortal realm. How could he have survived until now and even been subdued by the dean of the human academy?"

His dark golden dragon scales were taut, and his dragon wings fluttered slightly as he tried to mobilize the power of the dragon god's bloodline within him to resist the pressure of the flames. However, the faint resonance coming from the depths of his bloodline made him increasingly uneasy.

That was the instinctive connection between dragon deities of the same level, which not only proved the authenticity of the Fire Dragon King's identity but also made him aware of the vast difference in their combat strength.

Gu Yuena stood on the blue stone by the lake, her light purple dress fluttering slightly in the wind, her usually calm eyes now devoid of their usual tranquility.

Instead, a surging wave of confusion and doubt settled into a suppressed anger. Her fingertips, hanging by her side, curled slightly, and the pale purple Dragon God essence quietly surged. The core area of ​​the star, which had been suppressed by the Fire Dragon King's pressure, instantly shone with a pale purple light, isolating the intense heat wave from the outside, allowing the spiritual plants by the lake to gradually unfurl their leaves.

"Fire Dragon King... Crimson Sun."

Gu Yuena spoke softly, her voice carrying a hint of barely perceptible coldness, as fragments from the depths of her memory quietly surfaced.

Her true form is an avatar of the Dragon God, carrying some of the Dragon God's memories and origins, and thus she naturally knows the past of the Dragon Clan in the Original God Realm.

Fire Dragon King Chi Yang was once one of the most valiant warriors under the Dragon God. He possessed the peak cultivation of a first-level deity and mastered the ultimate fire laws. He was a key figure in the great war of the gods.

He once fought alongside the Dragon God in all directions, slaying several enemy deities, and possessed unparalleled combat power.

However, after the great war in the divine realm ended, the Dragon God was sealed away, and the dragon gods scattered like monkeys falling from a tree. During his breakout, the Fire Dragon King was surrounded and killed by several gods, his soul was shattered, and his body fell to the lower realm.

Legend has it that it perished long ago in the extreme cold and heat of the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and even its remnant soul could hardly remain.

"To be able to linger on even with a shattered soul, he's certainly hidden it well."

Gu Yuena's eyes darkened, and her tone became more displeased.

"But as a dragon deity, even in his fall, he should uphold the dignity of the dragon race. How could he willingly be subdued by humans and become a fighting force for human academies?"

In her mind, the dragon race is the supreme race of heaven and earth, and even if they are in dire straits, they should never depend on humans.

Moreover, the Fire Dragon King was once a first-level deity with a noble status, but now he belongs to the Heavenly Path Academy, which is undoubtedly a disgrace to the dragon race.

She looked up in the direction of Tianxing Academy, a sharp glint in her eyes: "Li Tianyi... This person was able to find the remains of the Fire Dragon King and even help him recover some of his strength. He is no ordinary human."

"Did he subdue the Fire Dragon King to protect the continent, or did he have other motives?"

Gu Yuena was filled with doubts. The appearance of the Fire Dragon King shattered her understanding of the power dynamics on the continent and raised her vigilance towards Tianxing Academy to the extreme.

Although she knew that Tianxing Academy was quite powerful, she never imagined that the academy would actually harbor a potential god-level soul beast.

"My lord, the Fire Dragon King belongs to humans, and may be a great threat to us."

Di Tian slowly descended, his dragon head approaching Gu Yuena, and said in a deep voice.

"The Evil Emperor will attack in three days. We should be fully prepared to deal with him. If Tianxing Academy and the Fire Dragon King intervene at this time, the consequences will be unimaginable."

His heart was filled with worry. The Evil Emperor's spacetime power and spiritual power were already difficult to deal with, and now there was also the Fire Dragon King, a peak first-level god, making Xingdou's situation even more difficult.

Gu Yuena nodded slightly, her fingertips tracing the surface of the lake, creating ripples of pale purple: "Don't worry, the Fire Dragon King has just recovered to his peak strength, and he probably won't make a move easily in the short term."

"He has been subdued by Li Tianyi, and his actions will inevitably be subject to Li Tianyi's control. As long as we do not provoke Tianxing Academy, he will not rashly intervene in the great battle between Xingdou and the Demon Forest."

She paused, a resolute glint in her eyes, "The most urgent task is to stabilize the Starry Sky's defenses as soon as possible, enhance our combat power, and ensure that we can defeat the Evil Emperor in one fell swoop in three days."

"As for the Fire Dragon King and the Heavenly Path Academy, we will investigate them slowly after we deal with the Evil Emperor."
