(My personal highlights for WDQK and BTTH were the Yimo City arc and the alchemist competition arc respectively :P)

Humanity, standing on the shoulders of legends from its history, advanced soul technology to inconceivable heights.

To fuel these new technologies, humanity hunted the soul beasts to the very brink of extinction. Once the dominant force of Douluo, the few surviving soul beasts now hide in the darkest recesses of their last sanctuary. The weakest have all been hunted, leaving only the strongest to scheme in the heart of the forest. The soul beasts, not willing to fade away, plot an uprising for their survival.
