Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky

Chapter 239 Evil God Tiger Soul Ring, Holy and Evil? Good and Evil?

Kong Tianxu carefully put away the bead that shimmered with four strange colors—cyan, blue, silver, and black—and his gaze swept over the enormous, gradually unreal corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Apart from the slowly floating layer of gray energy containing immense power, there was indeed no trace of the soul bone.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is a very special race, seemingly born without the affinity for soul bones. After their death, once their soul ring dissipates, even their physical body will turn into nothingness, as if they were originally formed by the purest evil energy.

However, this is good news for the Soul Master who killed it.

That strange bead and the soul ring that was about to condense already contained all the power and bloodline essence of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and there would be no waste when absorbing it.

In the distance, with the death of the Dark Demon Tiger, the dark territory it occupied began to collapse rapidly, and holy light spread swiftly from the boundary, purifying and reclaiming the lost land.

As the last wisp of evil energy vanished without a trace, Kong Tianxu's thoughts stirred slightly. This Holy Radiance Starry Sky Domain, which had been sustained by the struggle between light and darkness for countless years, had finally completed its ultimate mission and began to fluctuate violently, peeling away piece by piece like an ancient mural, revealing the truth that had been hidden behind it.

Light and shadow shift, planes change.

The real starry sky, which had been absent for thousands of years, was finally revealed above this land once again without any obstruction.

The distant and gentle starlight, like a caress across time and space, quietly falls, illuminating this familiar yet brand-new world.

Kong Tianxu looked out into the vast starry sky and noticed something that seemed particularly different.

It was a thin barrier in space, leading to an unknown distance.

Thousands of meters in the air, the enormous corpse of the Dark Demon God Tiger lay across the ground, with only Kong Tianxu standing alone on it.

The might of the sacred dragon, the third awakening of the original martial soul, and the Holy Spirit Puppet all dissipated at this moment, leaving only the Starry Holy Wings gently flapping. Below, the pure white figure of the unicorn still stood quietly, witnessing the end of this grudge that spanned ten thousand years.

At this moment, he is undoubtedly the strongest and only one under the starry sky of this fallen star plane.

On the vast land of the plane, Yunze and countless horned-scaled horses looked up at the sky, speechless with awe.

The lifeless corpse of the Dark Demon God Tiger had already proclaimed the final result of this decisive battle to determine the fate of the plane.

After storing the corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger in the Black Domain Ring, Kong Tianxu swayed slightly and, in the next instant, landed quietly near the ruins of the collapsed Bone Tower, as if he had never left.

Above, the Milky Way was already shining brightly.

Yunze trembled with excitement, took a few steps forward, and bowed to Kong Tianxu.

Behind him, the entire herd of horned-scaled horses, sensing the king beast's emotions and the changes in the plane, all turned towards Kong Tianxu's direction, bowing their heads in reverence.

He said sincerely, "Your esteemed chosen one, Yun—"

'

"Hmm?" Kong Tianxu raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "What did you call me?"

Yunze paused for a moment, then subconsciously repeated, "The Divine Chosen One—Your Excellency?"

"Before I inherited the power of the unicorn bloodline, you called me the Chosen One, and I didn't care. Now, I've obtained the spatial key to the Fallen Star Plane, killed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and even saved your Horned Scale Horse clan. Tell me, what should you call me now?"

Kong Tianxu's gaze drifted past him and slowly fell upon the dark mass of horned-scaled horses.

A sudden inspiration struck Yunze, and he knelt down.

"Lord of the Stars, you purified the star field, saved my race, and gave us a new lease on life. Yunze, leading all the Horned Scale Horses of the Fallen Star Plane, vows to follow you for eternity, to serve you at your command!"

He lowered his gaze slightly and added, "—Master."

Kong Tianxu finally smiled slightly at Yun Ze, patted the ferocious beast on the shoulder and said, "Not too stupid after all. Get up. Prepare to return to Douluo Continent with me. There's something I need you to do."

He took one last look at this star-planet that was beginning to regain its vitality, and then looked away without lingering. Spatial power began to ripple around him.

The sacred dragon is complete, the divine constraints are gone, and it's time to officially begin the next step that has been planned for so long.

A golden, star-like mark lit up between Kong Tianxu's brows. The eternal, inextinguishable star was illuminated at this moment.

A brilliant light engulfed the figures of the man and the beast. In the instant before they completely disappeared, Kong Tianxu seemed to whisper something to Yun Ze, causing the newly promoted servant's expression to visibly stiffen.

On the edge of the Starfall Grassland outside Shrek City in Douluo Continent, space slightly distorted, and two figures materialized from the ethereal.

The moment his feet touched solid ground, before Yunze could even sense the completely different spiritual energy of the Douluo Continent, the hairs on his body suddenly stood on end.

Two indescribable, terrifying auras, like invisible shackles, quietly enveloped the area.

The next instant, from the wooden house not far away, two figures, one in black and one in white, seemed to emerge from the shadows and light, and silently walked a few steps to them.

It was Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui.

Long Xiaoyao was still dressed in black with his white hair as before. He didn't even glance at Yun Ze, who looked like he was facing a formidable enemy. His gaze fell directly on Kong Tianxu.

But after just one glance into Kong Tianxu's purplish-gold eyes, the Dark Dragon Emperor almost instantly revealed a look of shock:

-

"You've cultivated a soul core?!"

Kong Tianxu nodded.

How could a young man with only the cultivation of a Soul Saint possess a Soul Core, and even a Soul Core of a Super Martial Soul?

What shocked Long Xiaoyao even more was that Kong Tianxu had not even released his martial spirit this time, yet the slight aura he naturally exuded had already caused the Dark Sacred Dragon martial spirit within his body to shrink back almost instinctively.

Oh, Master Kong, what kind of grandson did you raise?!

Long Xiaoyao's heart was churning with turmoil, but his face revealed a sincere admiration: "Your aura is perfectly harmonious, and your divine brilliance is restrained. The speed of your progress has even startled us. Now, I must admit that you are more talented and have achieved more than I did in my youth. With your current strength, you can obtain your first soul core before reaching the eighth ring. In the future, once you reach the level of a Title Douluo, you will have the potential to contend with me. If one day you can advance to the Limit Douluo level, then you will be on the same level as the Beast God and the Evil Emperor, or even surpass them."

Kong Tianxu smiled without saying a word, and then began to introduce Yun Ze. The Heavenly Horned Horse King's heart nearly stopped beating.

Two Limit Douluos!

As a ferocious beast that had existed for two hundred thousand years, he possessed an extremely keen sense of danger. The two humans before him exerted a far greater sense of pressure than the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger that had brought him despair in the Fallen Star Plane.

Combined with what Long Xiaoyao said, he no longer had any resentment towards Kong Tianxu. Even though Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui still did not take him seriously, he had no complaints and even lowered his posture.

Long Xiaoyao merely glanced at Yun Ze and nodded slightly, as if to say hello.

His gaze swept over the two stunningly beautiful girls still unconscious on the grass not far away, but his attention quickly returned to Kong Tianxu, a half-smile on his face: "That beautiful young lady you sent out is still unconscious, don't you know how to be gentle with her? Luckily, Yin'er just returned to the Sun Moon Empire a few days ago to hunt for soul rings, otherwise, seeing this scene, let's see how you would handle it."

"It's alright."

Kong Tianxu remained expressionless and did not answer any questions related to Cain. Instead, he walked to Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan and withdrew his Heavenly Heart Sword Intent.

"You seem quite certain." Long Xiaoyao laughed heartily, but Kong Tianxu's sword intent made his heart tighten again.

He glanced at Yunze, who stood nervously beside Kong Tianxu, and waved his hand. "Alright, you young people can handle your own affairs. Once this matter is settled, I need to return to Riyue immediately to inform your grandfather of your safe return, so that he won't worry."

He paused, looked at Kong Tianxu with a meaningful gaze, and said, "Your little girlfriends will be waking up soon, so we two old folks won't be in the way. Xishui, I'll be going now."

Long Xiaoyao's figure faded away like ink in a painting. Ye Xishui bowed respectfully to Kong Tianxu, nodded in agreement after receiving several spiritual messages, and gradually disappeared as well.

Just then, two soft moans came from the soft grass.

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao frowned almost simultaneously, their long eyelashes trembling as they slowly opened their eyes. Their initial confusion was quickly replaced by vigilance, but when they saw a smiling, handsome face, their tense minds immediately relaxed.

"Heavenly Order!"

The two women's eyes quickly regained their sparkle. After confirming that Kong Tianxu was unharmed, they looked around and recognized the Starfall Grassland they had come from. A look of relief and joy immediately appeared on their faces.

"Are we out?" Ma Xiaotao asked uncertainly, while Zhang Lexuan looked at Kong Tianxu with a resentful expression.

"Yes, they're out." Kong Tianxu walked to their side, extended his hand, and said, "It's all over."

The two women exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement and relief of surviving a close call in each other's eyes. Without hesitation, they reached out and grasped Kong Tianxu's hand, using it for support to stand up.

The next moment, as if by some unspoken understanding, the three of them gently embraced each other. Ma Xiaotao's embrace was passionate and forceful, while Zhang Lexuan's was gentle yet firm. Kong Tianxu could clearly feel their slight trembling and their unreserved trust and reliance.

"We clearly agreed to live and die together." Zhang Lexuan gently rested her face on Kong Tianxu's shoulder, muttering in dissatisfaction.

Ma Xiaotao didn't say anything, but in the end she just hugged Kong Tianxu tighter. If the final result was bad news, she certainly wouldn't live on alone.

After a long while, the three parted ways.

"By the way," Zhang Lexuan tossed her black hair to cover her bright red ears, "Tianxu, did you absorb the soul ring of that Dark Demon Evil God Tiger? According to the academy's ancient records, first—"

She paused here, the few words she had uttered during the Clear Sky Sect's attack stuck in her throat like a stubborn rock. Finally, she changed her words: "The Clear Sky Hammer, the second spirit of the Sea God Tang San, was once attached with a spirit ring from the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. Its power attribute and domineering characteristics should be more suitable for your second spirit body as your first spirit ring."

"I'm about to absorb it, so I'll have to trouble you all to protect me."

Kong Tianxu affectionately squeezed her fingers and then subtly patted Ma Xiaotao's peach, causing the latter's eyes to sparkle.

Then, he walked to an open area, released the corpse of the Dark Demon God Tiger, and sat down cross-legged.

However, before entering meditation, Kong Tianxu gave the two women a mysterious smile: "But it's not for the physical martial soul."

Zhang Lexuan and Ma Xiaotao were taken aback upon hearing this. Before they could ask any further questions, as the Starry Wings unfolded, six magnificent yet eerie platinum beams slowly bloomed behind him.

The moment these six tentacles appeared, tangible and substantial spiritual fluctuations even distorted the surrounding space. In addition, a sacred aura that cleansed people's hearts spread out.

"This is—" Zhang Lexuan's beautiful eyes widened, and she murmured speechlessly.

"Divine attribute, third martial soul." Ma Xiaotao's eyes glazed over as she witnessed this awe-inspiring power.

Yes, the third martial soul, Holy Spirit Puppet.

Kong Tianxu's soul power is currently stable at the early stage of level 79, and has not yet reached the bottleneck of level 80. Therefore, Kong Tianxu did not choose his own Sacred Dragon Martial Soul, nor did he choose it as the first soul ring of his supreme body. Instead, he chose the most inconspicuous Holy Spirit Puppet.

After his seclusion in the Fallen Star Plane, not only did his Silver Dragon Martial Soul evolve into a Holy Dragon, but his original Martial Soul also achieved an unprecedented third awakening. Undoubtedly, the Holy Spirit Puppet has fallen behind.

Although the Holy Spirit Puppet originated from the martial soul of a demigod, how terrifying are the Holy Dragon and the Supreme Body that has awakened three times?

If the martial souls of Douluo Continent and humans could barely approach the level of the Silver Dragon Martial Soul before, then the current ones are already a gap in power.

Unattainable, even unthinkable.

Caught between these two extraordinary martial souls, the flow of martial souls within Kong Tianxu's body will inevitably experience a subtle imbalance in the foreseeable future.

Therefore, he needs to increase the strength of the Holy Spirit Puppet's martial spirit as soon as possible.

Not to mention, if the Dark Demon God Tiger's extreme evil attribute could be combined with the Holy Spirit Puppet's holy attribute, achieving a unity of holy and evil under the Holy Spirit Puppet's powerful balancing ability, that would be quite a temptation.

With his mind made up, the Holy Spirit Puppet's six wings suddenly extended. Instantly, a solid gray stream of energy rose from the corpse of the Dark Demon God Tiger, instantly condensing into a perfect ring in the air. It then quickly turned from gray to red, transforming into a stream of light that shot directly towards the deep vertical eye beneath the Holy Spirit Puppet.

With a flash of light, the spirit ring was firmly attached.

At the same time, the four-colored pills floated up and merged directly into the root of the Starry Sacred Wings, and an extremely sharp, icy stream of air pierced into Kong Tianxu's body in an instant.

Under the shocked gazes of Ma Xiaotao and Zhang Lexuan, Kong Tianxu did not hesitate for a moment. With his unparalleled spiritual power, he simultaneously guided the two forces of the same origin, the Soul Ring and the Inner Core, to begin merging and absorbing them!

With his current physique, which is enough to surpass that of a Limit Douluo, and his resilient meridians tempered by the indestructible power of the Acacia Heartbreak Red Vajra, he is theoretically more than capable of withstanding these two domineering forces at the same time.

As the soul ring left the body, the enormous corpse of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger outside also began to turn into wisps of gray mist and dissipate, seemingly disappearing.

However, the Holy Spirit Puppet seemed to have spotted some prey, and its six tentacles suddenly pierced into it, forcibly gathering the gray energy and slowly devouring it.

The fusion process initially went exceptionally smoothly. Kong Tianxu's powerful mental energy guided the evil energy of the Silkworm Dark Demon God Tiger bit by bit, and the gray soul ring flowed like rivers flowing into the sea, merging into the phantom of the Holy Spirit Demon Puppet.

The four-colored bead hovered between his eyebrows, slowly releasing cyan, blue, silver, and black light that permeated into the origin of his martial soul.

However, just as the divine attribute and the evil origin of the Dark Demon God Tiger began to come into contact and attempted to merge and balance according to the trajectory set by Kong Tianxu, Kong Tianxu's body suddenly trembled violently.

The two forces, which are essentially opposite yet subtly share the same origin, did not achieve the harmonious coexistence of the holy and the evil as expected.

Instead, it seemed to have triggered some deeper forbidden law, and began to violently clash and evolve into a more chaotic and primitive form of power!

Kong Tianxu's body jolted violently, a hint of panic appearing on his face at just the right moment. His aura suddenly became extremely unstable, with the sacred white light and the extremely evil black energy tearing each other apart wildly.

In the fierce confrontation, black and white sometimes blended together and became indistinguishable, and sometimes they were clearly distinct, but in the next moment they became completely different from before.

White is as virtuous as water, black is as sinister as a demon.

Between the two, there is a subtle sense of texture that seems to come from the primordial chaos.

But this strange sight lasted only a moment, and the misty aura vanished without a trace, like an illusion.

Kong Tianxu's eyes also turned a cold, blood-red color.
