Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"The Holy Emperor has descended!"

The moment the words fell, a pure white, flawless, holy figure broke through the last clouds and appeared before the world.

It was an extraordinary celestial horse! Its entire body was pure white, without a single blemish, and its coat shimmered with a warm, jade-like luster under the light. A single, spiraling horn adorned its forehead, sparkling and translucent, while a pair of broad, pure white wings gracefully spread across its back.

It seemed to have stepped out of the oldest legend, its posture extremely elegant, its four hooves hovering in the air as if descending slowly from the clouds on invisible steps. With the flapping of its wings, countless almost transparent feathers drifted and fluttered, like blessings falling to earth.

Compared to the thirty-two majestic horned-scaled horses in front of Xu Tianran's dragon carriage, this celestial horse was even more powerful and possessed a spirituality and holiness that did not belong to the human world, making it clearly superior.

At this moment, the clouds and mist finally dissipated completely.

A figure stood quietly on the elegantly intertwined fingertips of the two enormous angels.

Clad in white, his robes fluttered in the breeze. The rising sun cast its purest first rays of golden light upon him, as if gilding him with a sacred glow.

Behind him, six figures, also dressed in white robes, appeared in the still-lingering golden halo.

Like the most loyal guardian, or like an apostle following divine miracles.

Kong Tianxu calmly swept his gaze over the hundreds of thousands of stunned spectators below. Without relying on any soul power or soul tools, he simply leaped lightly, and under the gaze of countless dumbfounded eyes, he stepped onto...

Above a feather of light.

One step, two steps, three steps.

The feather seemed as light as a feather, even drifting down gently, but the moment it touched Kong Tianxu's feet, it seemed to be endowed with divinity, instantly stabilizing and transforming into a dazzling gold that was no different from the wings of an angel!

He seemed to be descending calmly, as if stepping on invisible stairs formed from light and holiness.

Every step they took captivated everyone's attention.

With sacred feathers as its path, it descends from the heavens to the mortal realm.

The golden feathers that he had once "favored" did not dissipate after he left. Instead, they seemed to come alive and began to drift leisurely towards the audience.

An incredibly magical scene unfolded:

All the audience members who were touched by these feathers that emitted a warm glow, regardless of age or gender, were briefly enveloped in a faint golden halo.

Several elderly people, some of whom were quite old and suffered from serious illnesses, felt a sudden lightness in their bodies the moment Guangyu touched them. It was as if their blocked meridians had been cleared, their pain had lessened, and even their breathing had become much easier. Incredible surprise appeared on their faces!

"A miracle...this is a true miracle!"

"The Holy Emperor! The Holy Emperor has descended!"

"May the Holy Emperor protect me! Long live the Holy Emperor!"

After a brief silence, a thunderous roar of cheers erupted, like a volcanic eruption, starting from the Sun and Moon Citizens area and quickly sweeping across most of the arena!

Countless people were completely captivated by this unimaginable entrance, falling into a state of religious fervor, and began to frantically call out the name of the "Holy Emperor" without regard for anything else, with the sound waves shaking the heavens and the earth and soaring into the sky.

In the VIP section, Poison Undying had just recovered from the shock of this outrageously extravagant entrance show. He touched his shiny bald head, grinned widely, and couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"Damn it, this kid... he's got some serious creativity! The spectacle, the flair, it's amazing! Hahahaha!"

However, his laughter stopped abruptly the next moment.

Because, as Kong Tianxu walked down the steps, there was no longer a single feather of light in front of him.

then--

He stood still in the void. Then, he slowly spread his wings.

A pair of sacred wings, formed from countless tiny starlight points, suddenly unfolded, shimmering in a purplish-gold hue!

Almost simultaneously with the unfolding of his purple-gold dragon wings, the two enormous golden angelic figures in the sky, as if having completed their final mission and sacrifice, suddenly shattered, transforming into a shower of the most dazzling golden light that drifted and slowly dissipated between heaven and earth.

Six golden pillars of light, piercing the heavens and earth, shot into the sky from the six white-robed figures behind him, and then solidified.

The six individuals, enveloped in fading golden pillars of light, seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, silently landing on the edge of the wide arena. Upon landing, they all simultaneously took a step back in perfect unison.

Finally, the golden light faded completely.

It is as if a celestial being, out of compassion for all living beings, descended to earth.

Kong Tianxu stood alone on the stage.

"The Holy Spirit Cult, Kong Tianxu."

Seven crimson rays of light burst forth simultaneously!

Chapter 274 The Beginning of One Against Seven

The crimson light engulfed the entire arena in an instant, and a terrifying aura of coldness, cruelty, slaughter, and madness erupted like a tangible wave!

Accompanied by these seven eerie blood lights that seemed to rise from the deepest part of a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, an indescribable pressure descended upon the competition stage.

Red! Red! Red! Red! Red! Red!

Seven shocking blood-red soul rings, like seven blood moons, floated and rotated around Kong Tianxu!

What does red mean in the world of Soul Masters? It means the pinnacle of Soul Rings, legendary power, and—ten thousand years!

Seven 100,000-year soul rings!

If the visual and spiritual impact of Kong Tianxu's miraculous entrance was primarily felt by ordinary people and top-tier Soul Masters with extremely high cultivation levels, it was because only they could truly appreciate the benefits of the sacred feathers and the mystery of Kong Tianxu's entrance.

At this moment, the seven crimson halos that bloom simultaneously before our eyes bring with them a primal shock of power that anyone with even a slight understanding of the Soul Master system can instantly comprehend and tremble over.

A 100,000-year spirit ring! In the tens of thousands of years of history of spirit masters, there has never been a true 100,000-year spirit ring in any of the All-Continent Youth Advanced Spirit Master Elite Battle Tournament!

Today, a total of seven appeared at once.

"Isn't the competition supposed to limit participants to twenty years old? How come there are Soul Saints under twenty, and they all have 100,000-year Soul Rings!"

Suddenly, shouts erupted from the silent stands.

The simultaneous appearance of seven 100,000-year spirit rings on one person was such a shock that many people failed to immediately realize another equally astonishing fact:

Kong Tianxu achieved the rank of Seven-Ring Soul Saint before the age of twenty!

Not only at the competition venue, but also in front of soul guide screens across the entire continent, gasps of surprise rang out simultaneously from millions of people like a tidal wave.

The deafening sound was so intense that even Ju Zi, Zhong Li Wu, and the civil and military officials of the Sun Moon Empire on the high platform suddenly stood up, their faces filled with extreme shock.

Even Xu Tianran, who was sitting upright in his wheelchair, seemed to subconsciously want to stand up. But just as his buttocks left the wheelchair by a fraction, he seemed to suddenly realize something, abruptly stopping himself and sitting firmly back down.

Beneath the wide, luxurious robes, a fleeting glimpse of cold metallic luster could be seen.

Many people, especially viewers from the Star Luo Empire, still vividly remember the uproar and sensation caused by the young man named Huo Yuhao who used a simulated soul skill to conjure six 100,000-year soul rings in the previous competition five years ago.

Although it was later proven to be just an illusion, when this even more realistic and terrifying scene appeared on Kong Tianxu, no one dared, or was willing, to question its authenticity.

Five years ago, the scenes that forged the legend of the Supreme Dragon were still vivid in our minds. Today, the miracle of descending from the clouds with feathers is unforgettable. In the eyes of many, Kong Tianxu has become the true incarnation of a god.

Poison-invincible's arm was even trembling slightly; he no longer had time to care about what kind of nonsense the Holy Spirit Cult that Kong Tianxu was talking about was.

Because, from the Starry Sacred Wings behind Kong Tianxu that shouldn't exist in a human body, and these seven absolutely genuine 100,000-year soul rings, he thought of a possibility.

A possibility that exists only in imagination.

Du Busi clearly remembered that five years ago, Kong Tianxu's soul ring configuration was only three purple and two black.

Five years have passed, and it has already turned into seven 100,000-year soul rings.

Only he, as the sect leader of the Body Sect, knew what this change in Kong Tianxu's soul rings meant.

On the podium, the elderly man in charge of hosting the competition was also completely shocked by this scene, and even forgot to read out the competition rules.

Only when Kong Tianxu's calm gaze fell upon him did he suddenly snap out of his daze, his Adam's apple bobbing as he forced himself to remain calm and raised his voice:

"Preliminary Round Elimination Tournament, Match 1! Holy Spirit Cult vs. Iron Sword Sect! Each side will send seven members to the waiting area! Individual Elimination Tournament, Match 1, Participants—Step onto the stage!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the Iron Sword Sect's waiting area had dropped to freezing point.

The seven team members felt like their back teeth were about to break, and their minds were filled with a thousand thoughts of Xu Tianran running through their heads.

The Iron Sword Sect was quite powerful. They had initially thought the Holy Spirit Sect was some small, roadside sect that had sprung up in some remote corner of the continent, and were full of confidence, determined to make a name for themselves in their first battle and achieve great results.

This mentality is still quite common among disciples of many sects. For most sects with a long history and orderly lineage, they often look down on Soul Masters who come from the academy system.

Education in academies is always time-limited, while a sect often means a lifelong commitment. Many sects do indeed have their own secrets and unique features that are not passed down to others.

But the Iron Sword Sect never expected that Kong Tianxu, that freak, was actually in the Holy Spirit Sect's formation! And they even ran into him right in the very first match.

Even disregarding Kong Tianxu's past illustrious reputation, those seven 100,000-year soul rings on his body don't seem fake!

If it weren't for the fact that this tournament introduced a loser's bracket revival match, wouldn't they have been eliminated in the first round of the preliminary rounds?

But since we're already here...

On the Iron Sword Sect's side, a young girl stepped forward first. She was tall and slender, with delicate features and long, flowing black hair that cascaded down her back, exuding a gentle beauty with a touch of heroic spirit.

Looking at Kong Tianxu's handsome face, she smiled sweetly.

However, before she could perfectly display her smile, Kong Tianxu's voice came again:

"All seven of you come at me together. That'll be faster."

His voice was still so beautiful, echoing throughout the arena, instantly drawing even more enthusiastic cheers from the crowd, but causing the smile on the face of Wang Chengxi, the girl from the Iron Sword Sect, to vanish in an instant.

A chilling coldness spread rapidly from the depths of her eyes.

Under the complex and helpless gaze of the Iron Sword Sect leader, and after a very brief internal communication, the seven members of the Iron Sword Sect actually stepped onto the wide competition stage together under the watchful eyes of countless people!

One against seven!

This scene pushed the already heated atmosphere of the entire venue to a new climax!

"Game start!"

The moment the referee's voice fell, the seven members of the Iron Sword Sect, as if they had practiced this a thousand times, unleashed their soul power instantly.

The six team members launched a fierce attack from different directions, their sword light, palm wind, and soul skill light intertwining into a dense network of attacks, enveloping the white figure in the center.

Chapter 275 Twin Martial Souls? Excuse me, may I pass?

Wang Chengxi clenched his right hand in the air, and a jet-black, ancient iron sword appeared out of thin air in his palm.

At the same time, five spirit rings rose from beneath her feet—two yellow and three purple.

Among ordinary Soul Masters, this is already considered a pretty good configuration, and a five-ring cultivation level is among the best of young Soul Masters.

But in this setting, especially under the illumination of Kong Tianxu's seven blood moons, it appears dim and lackluster.
