The Sunset Forest is not as vast as the Star Forest, but it is still a fairly large area among the many soul beast settlements, with a diameter of more than a thousand miles.
The forest is located in the north and is generally oval in shape. The outer area is relatively flat, while the inner terrain is complex with hills and canyons crisscrossing.
It gets its name because at sunset, the unique tree species inside are dyed golden by the setting sun.
Xu Tianran and his three ninth-level soul guide followers spent a day circling the border, avoiding Shrek and the Star Dou Great Forest, and arrived at the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.
There were no powerful soul beasts in this forest except the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire in the core. Xu Tianran crossed it recklessly and came to the green poisonous miasma in his memory.
It's this poisonous miasma!
Xu Tianran was excited.
Ten thousand years ago, there was a Poison Douluo of great reputation in the Tiandou Empire. The guarding poisonous flowers planted in his habitat in front of the Yin and Yang of Ice and Fire were like this.
According to the top secret records in the Imperial Secret Archives, the generation of Shrek Seven Devils who became gods ten thousand years ago took some kind of rare treasure that could enhance their martial spirit talent, greatly improving their qualifications and enabling them to become gods.
Otherwise, considering the talents of those seven people at that time, compared with many talented soul masters who are better than them today, it is impossible for them to be able to take that step, and no one has touched the threshold of becoming a god in the past ten thousand years.
The only factor is that the location of the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire is no longer known to the outside world.
Standing in front of this legendary treasure land that can help people become gods, even though Xu Tianran is very intelligent, he almost couldn't help laughing towards the sky.
If he were the flamboyant him before, he would probably do this, but now he prefers to wait until everything is under control and the dust has settled before smiling.
The three accompanying ninth-level soul masters were also confused when they saw this vast area of poisonous miasma. They didn't understand why the new emperor brought them all the way here.
Xu Tianran did not give any explanation, only saying that there was considerable danger lurking ahead and that one must be careful.
He ordered Xu Tianyuan to take out the 'Extremely Cold Annihilation Ray', an eighth-level high-level ice-attribute soul guide ray.
"The Jade Phosphorus Seven Absolutes flower is afraid of the cold. Brother Wang, you hold this weapon and lead the way. Commander Zheng, you summon the Unbreakable Divine Shield to guard all directions. Captain Wang, you stand behind me and use the Fiery Sky Net to support Unbreakable Douluo and Yellow Dragon Douluo at any time."
The three were confused, but they immediately obeyed the order. The new emperor's skillful way of handling government affairs and his decisive and ruthless character had already made them initially submit to him.
The extremely cold annihilation ray came from the second-ranked ninth-level soul guide Ye Yulin. It imitated the extremely cold temperature from the Nine Heavens Cold Moon. Although it could not reach the ultimate ice, it was not far off. Xu Tianyuan's soul power was as high as level ninety-four, and his martial soul was the Purple Brilliant Sky-Destroying Dragon. It was not difficult for him to control two eighth-level soul guides at the same time. He carried one on each shoulder and strode forward, continuously firing to clear the way.
Bupo Douluo is known as the Unbreakable King. His combat power is not as good as Kong, Ye and Hongchen, but his specialized defensive power has earned him the admiration of all ninth-level soul masters. He holds up a red-gold round shield with a diameter of half a foot, walks on the side of Xu Tianran, and forms a pincer attack with Xu Tianyuan.
Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng followed at the end, with a flaming net made of 360 Tianluo beads suspended above his head. It was the eleventh-ranked work among the empire's nine-level soul guides.
It can be said that if these three people are combined, they are not without the ability to fight even if they meet an Extreme Douluo.
Xu Tianyuan spared no effort, shooting soul-guided rays one after another for a distance of a hundred meters, and in an instant he cleared a two-meter-wide passage in the poisonous barrier. He fired from both shoulders in turn, and in less than an incense stick of time, he had cleared the poisonous miasma for several thousand meters.
He has strong soul power and very accurate eyesight. Whenever the poisonous fog is about to surround him, he can take action in time.
This is the advantage and comfort of having a Titled Douluo and a ninth-level soul engineer follower. If Xu Tianran only relied on his own strength and soul guide, he might be able to fight his way out, but it is unknown how long it would take.
A qualified strong person should be accustomed to utilizing all the resources around him, instead of playing with his life like a reckless man.
In less than half an hour, even the colorful poisonous miasma at the core of the poisonous miasma could not stop the four people.
Finally, a completely different scene suddenly appeared, and a valley like a fairyland on earth suddenly appeared.
It is completely different from the poisonous miasma in the outside world that can kill Soul Saints.
The energy of heaven and earth inside is so rich that it makes one's pores dilate, and the pure breath of life hits you in the face.
Everywhere you look are trees laden with fruits and flowers competing for splendor. Countless brightly colored plants cluster in front of a two-colored lake. Under the brightly colored sky, the scene creates a fairyland-like splendor.
Here, vitality is embodied in a tangible and vast form.
The three ninth-level soul masters were all stunned.
"This...what kind of treasure is this?"
Mad Bull Douluo Wang Yiheng murmured.
Even the leader of the Imperial Dragon Soul Instructor team, who had the highest level of cultivation, couldn't help but stare with his eyes wide open, gasping for air, and was horrified in his heart. If he had cultivated here for three to five years to consolidate his foundation before breaking through to the Titled Douluo, wouldn't he have been able to break through to the Super Douluo level?
On the contrary, Unbreakable Douluo Zheng Zhan was the calmest. His soul power was only level ninety-three, which was considered high among the ninth-level soul masters, but he was nearly a hundred years old, and his age was not much higher than that of the other two ninth-level soul masters combined. Instead, his enterprising spirit was not so strong. The first thought in his heart was that the new emperor's methods were becoming more and more powerful.
Xu Tianran coughed twice, instantly bringing the other two people's minds back to clarity.
Xu Tianyuan and Wang Yiheng realized their mistake and quickly bowed their heads and made way for the Emperor.
I feel both excited and admired.
As ministers who came here with a common secret, their weight in the new emperor's heart will undoubtedly increase after they return.
As for other ideas, they were just fleeting thoughts at best and could not be put into practice. Not to mention that Master Kong could suppress them with one hand, the ideas of the supremacy of imperial power and self-sacrifice for the collective that they had been taught since childhood also made it impossible for them to do anything radical.
Moreover, the emperor beside them was no simple figure. The fact that he had chosen three people from different camps to check and balance each other showed that he was well versed in the art of ruling. Such a person would not put all his cards on the table.
Xu Tianran said, "There are plant-based hundred-thousand-year-old soul beasts here, but they cannot move their bodies. If I want to collect the herbs here, I must subdue them first."
Before the three ninth-level soul masters could get startled, Xu Tianran smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. The Yuan Qi here is too dense and closed, so it's normal for high-level plant-type soul beasts to be born. However, the excessive concentration of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi will also cause them to fall asleep from time to time."
There are about four hundred thousand year old plant-type spirit beasts that have become spirits here. However, due to the cultivation of the elemental power of heaven and earth and too much nutrients, their combat capabilities are very simple, at most equivalent to ordinary level 92 or 93 Titled Douluo, and there is a gap between them and the beast kings in the Star Dou Great Forest and the Demon Forest who are comparable to Super Douluo.
Xu Tianran's face was calm. A ninth-level fixed-type soul guide shell could handle everything.
The power of a ninth-level fixed-type soul guide cannonball is comparable to a strike from a ninety-nine-level Ultimate Douluo, enough to easily wipe out these hundred-thousand-year soul beasts.
However, he wanted to preserve this place as much as possible, and use it as a base for training Sun and Moon Soul Guides and cultivating materials for soul guides after he captured the Heavenly Soul Imperial Palace.
