Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 70 Sign-in, Storm Dragon King

"The Demon King's abilities are becoming increasingly troublesome."

Zi Ji's dragon shadow rippled slightly, revealing obvious apprehension.

Even she was unwilling to be easily influenced by the Demon King's spiritual power or that strange time domain.

Di Tian looked at the Demon King and nodded: "For a plant-type soul beast to have reached this point, Demon King, you are quite impressive."

Wuhun Palace, Pope Palace.

The atmosphere inside the hall was so oppressive it was almost suffocating.

Bibi Dong's heart was in turmoil.

Her phoenix eyes were fixed on the sky.

The dark golden claws of Xiong Jun that tore through space, and the unpredictable projection of the demonic tree and demonic eyes of the King of Ten Thousand Demons.

Originally, it was the ambition to look down upon the world that arose from the test of the Rakshasa God.

At this moment, it felt as if I had been doused with ice water, leaving only a bone-chilling cold.

"Over 400,000 years ago, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, with Behemoth bloodline..."

She repeated the words in a low voice, each one like a hammer blow to her heart.

She once thought that with her twin martial souls and divine trials, she would eventually stand at the pinnacle of the continent.

Even... to replace the Angel lineage and become the true and sole ruler of the Spirit Hall.

But now, these soul beasts hidden in the Star Dou Great Forest, the far north, and the endless sea.

Tell her in the most direct way what true power is.

"Your Holiness the Pope,"

Ghost Douluo's ghostly figure appeared silently like a phantom, his voice carrying an unprecedented solemnity.

"According to the description in the Sky Curtain, this Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear is a symbol of ultimate offense, and its claws can even ignore any defense."

"And that Demon King... a plant-type soul beast over 500,000 years old, possessing multiple attributes including spirit, poison, and time. Its strangeness is probably..."

He paused, looked at Bibi Dong, and said cautiously, "Especially the abilities of the Demon King, which seem to have similarities to the deadly poison and mental erosion characteristics of your second martial soul, the Death Spider Emperor. If we could..."

"enough!"

Bibi Dong abruptly interrupted him, her voice icy cold and trembling slightly.

"Ghost, tell me, what will you use to hunt it down? Is it your cultivation as a Title Douluo? Or Chrysanthemum Douluo's wondrous Heaven-Reaching Chrysanthemum?"

"Or perhaps we should mobilize all the elders of the Spirit Hall and tens of thousands of Soul Masters, using human lives to fill the gaps?"

She slowly rose from her throne, her gaze sweeping over the cardinals and elders below who stood frozen in fear.

Finally, the words landed on the ghostly figure, tinged with self-mockery and helplessness: "Faced with claws that can tear through space, faced with demonic trees that can manipulate time and spirit, what meaning do numbers still hold?"

"I'm afraid that before we even see their true forms, our people will have already been completely corroded by the venom of those demonic trees while time and space are frozen."

"Or be torn to shreds by that dark gold terror bear with a casual wave of its hand!"

She took a deep breath.

He forcefully suppressed his fear and resentment and sat back on the throne.

The voice regained its authority, but carried an unprecedented caution and resignation: "By my order, the Spirit Hall shall, from this moment forward, designate the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest, the core circle of the far north, and all unknown deep-sea areas as the highest taboo!"

"Without an order jointly signed by me and the Hall of Worship, no one may approach for any reason!"

"Anyone who disobeys this order will be considered a traitor and will be executed without exception!"

"Yes!"

The people inside the hall responded in unison, their voices filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

They were really scared.

They feared that the Pope might act unilaterally and send them to confront monsters they could not comprehend.

Worship Hall.

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his long, snow-white hair fluttering in the breeze.

He looked up at the sky, his usually calm and composed face now filled with an unprecedented solemnity.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stood beside him. This newly advanced level 99 Limit Douluo was somewhat unsteady on his feet.

He said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear that's over 400,000 years old, and a Demon Eye Tree that's over 500,000 years old... this is completely beyond the scope of what's recorded in the classics!"

"Our Spirit Hall has stood for a thousand years, collecting information on all the spirit beasts in the world, yet we know almost nothing about these two!"

Qian Daoliu slowly closed his eyes, as if he were recalling something.

He opened his eyes after a moment, his gaze gleaming: "You didn't just appear out of thin air, Golden Crocodile. Do you remember decades ago when we joined forces to venture deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, intending to explore the secrets of the Lake of Life?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's body trembled: "Of course I remember! When we first stepped into the edge of the core area, we felt several soul-chilling auras locking onto us."

"If it weren't for your decisive action, elder brother, using the power of the angels to intimidate and quickly retreat, I'm afraid..." "At that time, among those auras, there was an extreme sharpness and a strange spiritual fluctuation, which are so similar to the Bear Lord and the King of Ten Thousand Demons today!"

Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice.

"Looking back now, what we sensed at the time was probably just a slight hint that they inadvertently revealed."

"They do not not exist, but rather they have been lurking in a level or space that we cannot reach!"

Azure Phoenix Douluo gasped: "Does the Grand Elder mean... that there is one or more independent secret realms or small worlds in the core area of ​​the Star Dou Great Forest?"

"Do these top-tier ferocious beasts usually reside here?"

"This is the most reasonable explanation."

Qian Daoliu nodded.

"Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why so many distinctive and terrifyingly powerful soul beasts have almost never left any definite traces in the outside world over the long years."

"The level they occupy is beyond the comprehension of ordinary soul beasts and human soul masters."

……

Beidou Academy.

Lu Xiao remained calm as he watched the ferocious beasts appearing one after another in the sky.

The moment the Demon King was listed, a system notification sounded in his mind.

Lu Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

He thought to himself, "Sign in."

[Ding! Host has been detected checking in daily]

[Gained: All Soul Rings and Soul Bones' age increased by 5,000 years!]

[Received: Random Summon Card *1!]

He didn't care about the spirit rings or the spirit bone's lifespan being increased by five thousand years.

His soul rings and soul bones are at least 200,000 years old, so this improvement is negligible.

It was the random summoning card that piqued his interest.

"System, use a random summon card."

[Ding! Random Summoning Card Successfully Used! Summoning...]

In an instant, within the system space.

The weather suddenly changed, with lightning and thunder!
A vast, majestic, and terrifying pressure, carrying the aura of endless storms and thunder, descended.

A colossal dragon phantom, its body covered in cyan-gold scales and swirling with destructive storms and lightning, materialized in the space.

Its dragon eyes were like two thunderous suns, radiating an aura that would make even the gods tremble!
"Storm Dragon King?"

Lu Xiao's lips twitched slightly as he looked at the familiar appearance and the name given by the system.

There was a strange look on his face.

He looked at Li Bai, who was practicing swordsmanship in the courtyard, and Lü Bu, who was wielding a halberd, with an even more amused expression.

"First Li Bai and Lü Bu, and now the Storm Dragon King..."

"System, what are you doing? Are you trying to gather heroes from another world for a team battle?"

Lu Xiao mentally complained, and then an idea uncontrollably surfaced in his mind.

He looked up at the still dazzling, unfathomable sky, his gaze becoming profound.

"This list... appears so coincidentally, and the rewards are so generous."

"Ao Yin appeared earlier, and now the Storm Dragon King has transformed into a soul beast. System, could this canopy... be something you created?"

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed.

With this system's twisted sense of humor and powerful capabilities.

It seems not impossible for them to create such a list that would stir up the entire continent.

"If that's really the case..."

Lu Xiao stroked his chin, a meaningful smile appearing on his face. "That's really interesting."

He seemed to have a vague idea of ​​something, but he wasn't quite sure.

However, this did not stop him from continuing to watch the play.

Let's see what tricks this system... or rather, this "sky screen," will pull next.

Meanwhile, all sides on the mainland were completely terrified by the Demon King, who had existed for over 500,000 years, and their fear of the Star Dou Great Forest reached its peak.

Amidst extreme shock and fear, everyone awaited the announcement of the top nine.
