Ye Lan was blasted out of the "Heart Domain" by Du Busi's punch. Once Ye Lan broke free from the domain, Du Busi's heartbeat abruptly slowed, causing him to gasp for breath repeatedly.
He looked up at the gravel settling in the distant mountain range and murmured, "Did it succeed?"
In the very next second, Ye Lan moved at high speed, resembling a jet fighter. A golden flash accompanied by a blue shockwave left six long white contrails trailing behind him!
Upon seeing Ye Lan's figure, the Heaven Dou soldiers let out a collective sigh of relief. They couldn't help but feel a twinge of embarrassment for their worry just a second ago—how could they possibly doubt the Lord Saint Son?
"Ye Lan!!!" Du Busi let out a furious roar and charged toward the meteor-like figure shining with golden light in the sky.
Facing the enraged Body Limit Douluo, Du Busi, a golden light flashed through Ye Lan's pupils.
200x Consciousness Acceleration, Activate!!
In his slowed field of vision, Ye Lan slightly twisted his head and torso, dodging Du Busi's mid-air flying kick.
As he brushed past Du Busi, Ye Lan crossed his arms over his chest.
A blue shockwave transformed into the pitch-black Ancient Beast Tentacles. The dark tentacles flashed with golden and blood-red light.
Flash and Meteor activated. In the blink of an eye, the pitch-black tentacles struck Du Busi's back.
Du Busi's mind was flooded with a searing pain. Instinctively, he turned and grabbed at the black shadow flashing past him.
At that moment, Ye Lan converted the Ancient Beast Tentacles back into Shockwave Form II.
Du Busi grabbed empty air, and the web of his hand was scoured raw and painful by the powerful Shockwave.
Out of the corner of his eye, Du Busi saw Ye Lan distancing himself. He immediately analyzed the spatial coordinates behind him.
In the next instant, Du Busi punched powerfully into the void.
The golden fist traveled through space, aiming for Ye Lan's back.
But Ye Lan seemed to anticipate this. He instantly converted the shockwave back into Ancient Beast Tentacles. The pitch-black tentacles wound around the golden fist, binding it tightly, and then he yanked with all his might.
Dragging Du Busi out of the spatial rift from hundreds of meters away, Du Busi used the momentum to close the distance to Ye Lan, clenching his left hand into a fist to strike again.
At this precise moment, the Ancient Beast Tentacles transformed back into a shockwave.
Du Busi was blasted away by the shockwave once more!! His right fist failed to hit Ye Lan yet again.
After suffering repeated setbacks, Du Busi was so enraged that his blood boiled over. He roared, "You!!"
In the next instant, Ye Lan accelerated abruptly, instantly appearing right next to Du Busi, whose muscles were like forged gold.
Du Busi's pupils contracted, shocked by Ye Lan's speed.
Is this the speed a Spirit Sage can unleash?!!
In that split second, all of Ye Lan's blue shockwaves converted into the pitch-black Ancient Beast Tentacles.
Eight Ancient Beast Tentacles, along with Ye Lan's two fists and two legs, all transformed into lethal weapons, bombarding Du Busi.
Seeing Ye Lan engaging in close-quarters combat, a glint of joy flashed in Du Busi's eyes. Finally stopped playing hard to get like a slippery loach!!
Overjoyed, Du Busi completely disregarded Ye Lan's twelve afterimages shining with blood-gold light. As if he could feel no pain, he punched madly at Ye Lan.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shockwaves exploded from the positions where Ye Lan and Du Busi clashed. Sprays of golden blood scattered onto the earth below, causing the barren brown ground to instantly sprout lush green grass and colorful flowers.
Du Busi attacked Ye Lan with frantic excitement, ignoring the tearing of his own muscles.
In just a few seconds, Du Busi was completely submerged in a surge of adrenaline. It was only then that he looked into Ye Lan's calm, orange-gold dragon pupils, and his heart trembled involuntarily.
At this moment, his peripheral vision caught sight of his own body, and his pupils shrank.
His body, which had been like gold, was now covered in bright red blood. Tears in his skin revealed the texture of the muscles beneath.
Du Busi's vision began to blur. He instantly retreated dozens of meters.
Staring at Ye Lan, who didn't have a single scratch on him, he muttered, "Why don't you have even a slight injury!!! Can it be that I still cannot break your defense?!!"
Ye Lan glanced at the emerald-gold soul light on his body and knew that his Black Tortoise Value had reached 100%.
He said indifferently, "You can't put it that way. It's just that the damage you deal right now cannot outpace the life force I am recovering."
"You!! Pfft!!!"
Upon hearing Ye Lan's words, blood surged to Du Busi's head. He spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and instantly fell unconscious, plummeting toward the ground.
He simply could not accept the fact that the damage caused by him, the dignified Strongest Limit Douluo of the Sun Moon Continent, couldn't keep up with Ye Lan's regeneration speed.
Watching Du Busi fall unconscious, Ye Lan waved his hand dismissively.
This really couldn't be blamed on Du Busi. Ye Lan's defense was already at the Demigod level.
Added to that was the fully stacked Black Tortoise Value and the Black Tortoise God Body's 70% damage reduction; his total damage reduction had now reached 82%.
Facing Du Busi's attacks, thanks to the Blessing of the Life Goddess, his Blue Silver Sublimation was regenerating 4% of his life force every second. This was already enough to completely negate the damage Du Busi dealt to him.
The moment Du Busi hit the ground, countless people of Heaven Dou erupted in the most joyous cheers.
This was their Lord Saint Son!!!
The Green Emperor who could reverse any situation!!
The synonym for miracles!!!
Seeing Du Busi's defeat, Di Tian looked at Ye Lan with a heavy expression, then turned his gaze to the Silver Dragon King.
Ye Lan's gaze also turned toward Gu Yuena. Seeing the cold look in her eyes, he felt a sense of unfamiliarity.
What is going on?!
The Gu Yuena I know doesn't look like this!
In Ye Lan's consciousness, his memory of Gu Yuena was still frozen on that silver-haired figure in the Star Dou Forest; her smiling face was still etched in his mind.
But the Gu Yuena before him now was extremely strange; her pupils held nothing but icy coldness.
"My Lord!? My Lord!?" Di Tian couldn't hold back and called out.
Gu Yuena still did not respond to Di Tian. Di Tian walked directly into the spatial rift and instantly descended in front of Ye Lan. "Young friend Ye Lan, I have lived for so many years, but this is the first time I have seen a monster like you."
Ye Lan shifted his gaze back from the Silver Dragon King to Di Tian and asked, "Senior Di Tian, what exactly are you planning? What is the 'Myriad Beast Platform'?!"
Di Tian looked at Ye Lan but didn't know how to begin.
If Ye Lan had died, then he and his Lord would have had no pressure implementing their plan. At worst, after his Lord became a God, they would find a way to resurrect Ye Lan.
But now, Ye Lan was standing alive and well right in front of him, and he found himself at a loss for words.
After all, the "Artificial Spirit Ring" system Ye Lan created had genuinely helped the Soul Beast race.
Although he himself didn't fully understand why his Lord had started the plan, paused the plan, and then pushed for the plan again.
But at this stage, the die was cast, and he didn't know what the best course of action was now.
Could he really ask his Lord to abandon the "Myriad Beast Platform" Godhood Ascension Plan??
Just as Di Tian was caught in a dilemma, Ye Lan noticed Di Tian's embarrassment and took the initiative to speak. "Senior Di Tian, how about this? Shall we make a bet?!"
"You and I will each unleash one move. If you win, I will lead the Spirit Hall to surrender. If I win, you tell me the purpose behind establishing the 'Myriad Beast Platform'," Ye Lan proposed.
"Oh? You are confident you can beat me?!" Di Tian asked suspiciously.
"We'll know once we try!" Ye Lan replied.
Di Tian turned his head to look at Qian Daoliu in the distance and Bibi Dong, who had stopped fighting. "What are your opinions?"
"Little Lan, as the Saint Son of Spirit Hall, has the right to make decisions for Spirit Hall," Bibi Dong nodded and said.
"I have no objections," said Qian Daoliu.
A trace of surprise flashed through Di Tian's pupils; he hadn't expected Ye Lan alone to represent the entire Spirit Hall.
Subsequently, Di Tian pondered for a moment and felt that regardless of winning or losing, he wouldn't lose out.
After all, even if the truth of the Myriad Beast Platform was announced, it couldn't be stopped now.
"Fine, I accept your bet!! Kid, let me warn you, I won't go easy on you!!" Di Tian said decisively.
Immediately after, Di Tian decisively released his true form, roaring, "Darkness Dragon King Avatar!!!"
A thousand-meter-long Darkness Dragon King instantly descended from the sky. It spread its wings, spanning several thousand meters, its immense power shredding the airflow in the sky into chaos.
Every dragon scale on its body seemed to be coated in the night itself. At every joint of its dragon body, golden bone spikes protruded. Its golden eyes, like suns, slowly opened, outshining the actual sun in the distance.
A domain expanded once again—Darkness Domain, activate!!
Ye Lan immediately felt his strength drop by more than twenty percent, while the Darkness Dragon King's strength increased by another twenty percent!
Ye Lan called out, "Little Xue! Lend me your life!!"
Qian Renxue nodded hurriedly, agreeing to Ye Lan's life link.
After Ye Lan switched his Life Sharing target, the power within his body surged violently once again.
His strength had reached the peak of a Quasi-God!!!
Likewise, Ye Lan directly expanded the "Destruction Domain."
Under the buff of the "Destruction Domain," the "Gaze of the God of Destruction" and "Lungs of Destruction" saw their five-fold final damage bonus increase by another thirty percent, reaching a 6.5 times final damage bonus!!
Immediately following this, Ye Lan's right arm completely transformed into an ice-blue dragon claw!!
Di Tian stared at the Ice Dragon King's claw on Ye Lan's arm, his pupils contracting as he exclaimed in shock, "How is that possible!!!"
"That is the Water Dragon King's claw!!?"
Di Tian hurriedly suppressed the shock in his heart and channeled all the soul power in his body. His Darkness Dragon King Claw tore the space in front of him completely apart.
"Dragon God Claw!!!"
The Dragon God Claw, hundreds of meters long, instantly swept toward Ye Lan. The space it passed through turned pitch black, sucking in countless currents of air.
Watching the approaching "Dragon God Claw," Ye Lan also swung his arm toward the black dragon claw with all his might and roared, "Dragon God Claw!!!"
An ice-blue Dragon God Claw—Ultimate Ice slashed out toward the black dragon claw. In the space it traversed, the flow of time slowed down abruptly.
The slender blue Dragon God Claw collided with the black Dragon God Claw!!
The massive explosion generated seemed to suddenly turn into slow motion, yet the shockwaves of the blast still swept out in all directions at high speed.
Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, the Evil Eye Tyrant King, and others immediately tore open space, diverting the shockwaves of the explosion to a distant location.
Where the space shattered, an ice-blue claw shadow struck toward Di Tian.
Di Tian looked in disbelief at the approaching Ice Blue Dragon God Claw. He discovered that his "Dragon God Claw" had already vanished.
This meant that in this exchange, he had actually lost to Ye Lan, a Spirit Sage...
Di Tian reverted to human form and traversed space to dodge the incoming Dragon God Claw—Ultimate Ice.
As the claw shadow brushed past him, he was astounded by the Time Laws contained within it.
The moment the ice-blue claw shadow broke through the black claw shadow, countless people of Heaven Dou began to cheer!! The strongest killing move of the invincible Di Tian had been rendered useless by their Spirit Hall Saint Son!!
What this implied was self-evident. For the Lord Saint Son to grow to this extent in just three short years was simply too terrifying!!
With the invincible Di Tian defeated, only the enemy from the heavens, Gu Yuena, remained!!
"Little Lan!! Beautifully done!!!" Bibi Dong beamed with joy; she felt incredibly proud of Ye Lan.
"Hmph!" Qian Renxue snorted lightly, then spoke to the shocked Di Tian, "Ye Lan won!! It's your turn to fulfill the bet!!"
Everyone's gaze turned to Di Tian, only to see Di Tian's expression gradually shifting from shock to softness.
Ye Lan looked at Di Tian in confusion, unaware of Di Tian's internal thoughts.
After being shocked by the Time Laws in the Dragon God Claw—Ultimate Ice, Di Tian became curious about the source of Ye Lan's Water Dragon King Claw.
He looked at Ye Lan's golden dragon pupils. The more he looked, the more familiar they seemed. He realized those were the same golden dragon pupils he had seen long ago on the murals of the Fire Dragon King.
Di Tian stared at Ye Lan for a long time, his gaze so intense it made Ye Lan's hair stand on end.
Orange-gold Fire Dragon pupils and that ice-blue Water Dragon claw—the more Di Tian looked, the more pleasing they were to his eye.
If this isn't a Child of the Soul Beasts, who is? Could it be that silly girl, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion?
Di Tian tore through space and instantly descended in front of Ye Lan, asking impatiently, "Ye Lan, I lost this battle. Before I tell you the truth about the Myriad Beast Platform, I want to know where your Water Dragon King Claw and Fire Dragon King Pupils came from? Why were you able to obtain the bones of the Dragon Clan?"
"How Ye Lan got his spirit bones is none of your business!!" Qian Renxue jumped in to protect her husband; since when was it reasonable to inquire about an enemy's spirit bones?
"It's okay, Little Xue. Speaking of which, this matter actually is related to Di Tian," Ye Lan said, holding onto Little Xue's arm.
Then, he glanced at Di Tian with confusion.
Did Gu Yuena not tell Di Tian about the Water and Fire Dragon King seniors gifting him the spirit bones?
Seeing Di Tian's expectant look, Ye Lan said, "This pair of Golden Dragon Pupils, the Water Dragon Right Arm Spirit Bone, and the Water Dragon King Claw came from the place where the Water and Fire Dragon Kings fell. The two seniors gifted me their final remains so that I would look after the Soul Beast race."
"Indebted to the grace of the Dragon Clan, I developed the 'Artificial Spirit Ring' system. I believe that once the 'Artificial Spirit Ring' system is popularized, the survival status of Soul Beasts will be guaranteed. The relationship between Soul Masters and Soul Beasts will no longer be like fire and water, but a relationship of mutual cooperation."
"I am confident that Soul Beasts and humans will definitely be able to coexist for tens of thousands of years."
Hearing Ye Lan's explanation, a massive wave of shock swept through the crowd.
So the "Douluo's Number One Theoretical Grandmaster Scholar" created the Artificial Spirit Rings to repay a debt of gratitude! Their gazes toward Ye Lan became even more reverent. As expected of Ye Lan, the man who changed the entire history of the Douluo Continent!!
The Ice Emperor said excitedly, "As expected of Ye Lan!!! Xiong Ba!! Look at your bear face!! Is that how you treat your benefactor just now?!!"
Xiong Ba scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I didn't actually hit him!"
"Pfft." The Demon King chuckled at the thought of the Darkgold Dreadclaw Bear fleeing in panic. She looked at Ye Lan with equal admiration; the more she looked at Ye Lan's blue-gold hair and Golden Dragon Pupils, the more pleasing he seemed to her eye.
After listening to Ye Lan's explanation, the guilt in Di Tian's heart grew even stronger, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
