Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

Just as the two clashed repeatedly, each unleashing their demigod-level abilities, the Dragon God Claw and the Dragon Spear of Fate Judgment each displayed their power, the domain maintained by the former seemed to shrink and weaken momentarily due to insufficient soul power.

Only by briefly letting go of the Dragon Spear of Fate could the sword light be shattered. It was in this moment of change, so subtle that it was imperceptible to the naked eye, that the purplish-black raging dragon precisely seized the opportunity.

Di Tian sneered inwardly. Although it was also nearing its limit, Kong Tianxu was ultimately inferior to it in terms of total soul power.

The Seven-Colored Dragon Claws are in full bloom in an unprecedented manner.

The space shattered on a large scale, but then Di Tian saw a brilliant golden light emanating from Kong Tianxu's left arm.

On the outside of his left arm, a thick, ancient horn shield protruded, directly facing the dragon god's claws.

The horned shield is bluish-gold in color, with fine patterns covering its surface, like the rings of an ancient tree, layer upon layer. Dragon patterns are faintly visible along the edges of the shield, exuding a profound and ancient aura.

The Dragon God Claw that Di Tian unleashed with all his might was not the incomplete version he used at the beginning. It was only one or two realms away from the power that the Dragon God's true form had spread back then.

This time, however, Kong Tianxu had no chance to use the Dragon God's Body and the Dragon Spear of Judgment of Fate. He also showed no intention of dodging. Once again, he faced the enemy head-on.

The ultimate realm of the body, the mountain blocks the sea, and the mysterious jade shield!

Although this soul bone inherits the extremely noble ancient bloodline of the Xuanjia Jade Horn Rhinoceros lineage, it is by no means more powerful than the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King who wields the Dragon God's Claw, and its initial quality was only 90,000 years. But do not forget, this is an external soul bone that can evolve.

Not long ago, Kong Tianxu sealed the energy of an entire demigod-level golden tree in his left hand.

In terms of defense, no one can break through it.

The Dragon God's Claw clashed head-on with the Mysterious Jade Shield.

In that instant, heaven and earth fell silent.

The entire sky seemed to be gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand. The sound was completely swallowed up at the core of the collision, and even the light became distorted and sluggish for a moment. The light formed an ever-expanding sphere at the point of impact, with countless turbulent energy currents running wildly on its surface. Within a fraction of a second, it expanded to a diameter of a hundred feet, then suddenly contracted before exploding violently.

In an instant, countless cracks appeared on the surface of the shield, and countless golden lights, which looked extremely familiar to Di Tian, ​​poured into those cracks like blood.

Thus, the Jade Shield did not break in the end.

But its true killing move isn't in defense. A 100% damage reflection mechanism is activated!

Just as Di Tian was about to give chase, he felt as if his claw, which he had used with all his might, had struck an unshakeable mountain. At the moment of impact, a force that was exactly the same as his Dragon God Claw rebounded from the shield and surged back along his right arm.

It groaned, and the dragon scales on its entire right arm exploded at the same time, blood gushing out from the gaps between the scales. Its body was as if it had been struck head-on by an invisible giant hammer, and it was forced back from the spatial rift. It gasped for breath, trying its best to circulate the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores to suppress the injuries in its body. Its golden vertical pupils were full of shock and anger.

But it's not over yet.

Before Di Tian could adjust its stance, a streak of azure-gold light shot straight through the void, moving so fast that Di Tian could only catch a fleeting afterimage. By the time it sensed the danger, it was too late to react.

The Dragon Spear of Fate, which had been somewhat out of Kong Tianxu's control, suddenly split in two.

From the left, a golden spear shadow emerged, with a lifelike golden dragon phantom coiled around its shaft; from the right, a jade-green light blade emerged, its blade as thin as a cicada's wing, its tip shimmering with an emerald-like luster.

"The Golden Dragon Spear?!"

Di Tian's pupils suddenly dilated.

The next moment, a golden spear pierced through Di Tian from behind, its tip penetrating below his right shoulder blade and piercing his entire chest cavity, piercing his right lung and right palm simultaneously. The devouring power attached to the golden dragon spear immediately began to frantically drain Di Tian's life force.

Di Tian let out a painful roar, and the Black Dragon Sword almost slipped from his hand.

At the very instant it was severely wounded by the Golden Dragon Spear, the emerald-like blade transformed into an extremely thin turquoise ray of light, attacking silently like a venomous snake. It precisely sliced ​​into the back of Di Tian's neck, easily cutting through the indestructible dragon scales as if they were paper, and deeply embedded itself into its spine, continuing downwards.

A life force of extreme purity transformed into a destructive torrent, beginning to disintegrate its dragon body from the inside. Di Tian felt a numbness from his neck to his tailbone, as if all the strength in his lower body had been drained away in that instant.

Di Tian's body trembled violently, and he spat out another mouthful of blood. His figure swayed violently in the air, and the phantom of the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King behind him began to shatter inch by inch.

Kong Tianxu gave it no chance to catch its breath.

Ranked ninth, its rose-gold million-year soul ring shone brightly, dyeing the entire sky a magnificent rose color.

His mental energy burst forth like a geyser.

His left hand had been lowered, and the cracks on the Xuan Yu Shield were healing at a visible speed under the nourishment of the Golden Tree's energy. What was now revealed to Di Tian was his right hand, which was undergoing a change at a visible pace—

The joints rapidly grew larger, and fine scales appeared on the surface of the skin. The fingertips transformed into sharp claws with each breath, their surfaces flashing with alternating colors.

It was clearly a dragon's claw.

At this moment, Di Tian's eyes were filled with disbelief as it watched the familiar seven-colored light emerge from Kong Tianxu's claws. It was so shocked that its body was still trembling.

"Dragon, God, Claw! You, how can you wield the Dragon God Claw?"

Di Tian stared blankly at Kong Tianxu.

The seven colors possess immense majesty that commands the submission of all living beings in heaven and earth. Most importantly, they exude an aura that inspires fear and awe in Emperor Tian from the bottom of his heart.

Dragon God Claw, that's its greatest asset! Kong Tianxu has perfectly replicated it!

Even more terrifying, Di Tian could clearly sense that the Dragon God Claw released from Kong Tianxu was even more powerful than his own.

Because within this Dragon God's Claw, there are also two indescribable textures: extreme purple and translucent blue, and its spiritual and mental level far surpasses that of the Dragon God's Claw.

Demigod level! This is clearly demigod level mental power! So, during the previous battle with me, he actually suppressed my cultivation?

His power wasn't just limited to the weapon fused with the Golden Dragon Spear, which made him a demigod; his mental strength had actually reached the demigod level that he himself hadn't been able to cultivate for seven hundred thousand years.

"Because I have already seen your fate."

Kong Tianxu spoke softly. His voice wasn't loud, but to Di Tian, ​​every word was like the tolling of a bell of destiny.

The ninth spirit ring blossomed to its fullest extent at this moment. Rose-gold light spread in all directions like a tide. It broke away from the original order, becoming independent from the nine spirit rings, and transformed into a faint halo that enveloped Di Tian, ​​who was temporarily unable to resist.

The light was not strong; it could even be described as gentle, like spring breezes and falling petals, or the moon kissing a rose. It transformed into a thin veil, silently drifting down and covering Di Tian's body.

But the instant that rose-gold light appeared, a hint of despair also appeared deep in Di Tian's eyes.

Kong Tianxu pressed his Dragon God Claw towards the sacred dragon behind him.

The seven-colored dragon claw probed into the chest of the sacred dragon's phantom, its five fingers slowly closing. The sacred dragon raised its head and let out a long roar, its thousand-meter-long body beginning to shrink and deform in response.

Rose gold, purple gold, and nine-colored luster. The three lights intertwined, merged, and sublimated behind him, transforming together with the enormous phantom of the sacred dragon into a giant sword, which fell into his hand.

The sword's design was not elaborate; the blade was long and straight, with a rose-gold gem at the hilt, within which countless threads of fate seemed to flow slowly. The hilt was decorated with dragon scale patterns, and it fit perfectly in the curve of the hand. The blade was translucent, allowing a glimpse of the sky on the other side.

The moment the giant sword was fully formed, a sword intent that changed the color of heaven and earth burst forth from the sword. Wherever the sword intent passed, space silently cracked open, creating a rift that stretched for thousands of feet.

The Sword of Judgment.

The ninth soul ring of the Divine Dragon, the Ring of Destiny of a Million-Year-Old Imperial Beast, granted him a total of four soul skills. The three he just used were: Lotus of Destiny, Gaze of Destiny, and Lock of Fate.

The skills of the million-year-old Three-Eyed Golden Lion Soul Bone are already incredibly powerful, allowing Kong Tianxu to break through Di Tian's defenses with a single blow even when his cultivation level was inferior. However, because the release rate of the Soul Bone Skills fluctuates greatly with the Soul Master's level, Kong Tianxu is currently unable to perfectly display the full power of this Soul Bone.

But the Destiny Soul Ring is different. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion infused it with its own soul power and, most importantly, the power of destiny. This is the true power of a demigod of destiny.

Taking the simplest example of the Lotus of Destiny, it can directly enhance one's soul power by one level. In actual combat, this translates to a direct boost in one's spiritual power cultivation, allowing his spiritual power to break through to the demigod level. It was this leap that allowed Kong Tianxu to completely crush Di Tian.

This is still the most basic application of this soul skill. Kong Tianxu has a strong premonition that if it is developed in depth, it can achieve a comprehensive upgrade of one level.

The most outrageous thing is that this skill has no cost and no consequences.

The Gaze of Fate is much more mysterious. According to Kong Tianxu's understanding, it seems to allow Soul Masters to see or create countless "possibilities," while the Lock of Destiny amplifies and even solidifies them infinitely.

Simply put, it's similar to the effect of wish fulfillment, turning "I think" into "this is feasible," only much more complex.

For example, right now, Kong Tianxu "wanted" to use the Dragon God Claw himself. So after dealing with Di Tian for a long time, he had a premonition. With the release of his soul skill, his soul power flowed on its own, and he released the Dragon God Claw.

The power of fate was fully revealed at this moment.

The final soul skill is a fusion of the Heavenly Heart Sword and the Heavenly Will Sword—

Kong Tianxu raised the giant sword in his hand.

He called it:

A predetermined death.

Certain death, certain demise, the end of fate.

The whole world seemed to have fallen silent.

The wind ceased, the clouds dispersed, and even the shattered spatial rifts stopped expanding. Countless threads of fate emerged from the void, coiling around Di Tian's dragon body and binding him tightly to his spot. These threads were transparent yet resilient; with each struggle of Di Tian, ​​they tightened further, digging into the gaps between his scales and into his flesh.

Bound by the chains of destiny, Di Tian was powerless to stop Kong Tianxu at this moment.

At this moment, Kong Tianxu seemed to have become one with heaven and earth. His breathing synchronized with the rhythm of the wind, his heartbeat resonated with the pulse of the earth, and his gaze pierced through the barriers of time, seeing the ending that had already been written.

Di Tian's eyes widened in horror. What he saw was that as Kong Tian raised his sword, the layers of spatial barriers were instantly pierced through. The blade of the Sword of Judgment of Destiny was still hanging high above his head, but the killing intent of the sword had already penetrated all the barriers of space and descended directly upon his soul.

This sword strike must have concentrated all of Kong Tianxu's energy and spirit; it was a perfect masterpiece.

The end of the judgment of fate, the reappearance of the power of the Dragon God, the implementation of the true meaning of destruction—all forces were harmoniously fused together in this one sword strike.

Even more terrifying was the giant sword, which was formed entirely from Kong Tianxu himself. Di Tian also sensed a demigod-level aura on it.

With one's inevitable death.

It didn't look at the giant sword again, knowing it couldn't dodge it. Lowering its head, it gazed at the ground, looking in the direction it had risen, its eyes filled with longing and reluctance, and an indescribable sense of unwillingness.

Dragon God, am I ultimately unable to complete the task you entrusted to me?

A bitter smile appeared on Di Tian's lips. Perhaps, this could be considered a relief.

It looked at Kong Tianxu, its voice carrying only a calm tone that was almost curious:

"Could you tell me your name?"

"Kong Tianxu. My title is Azure Heaven." Kong Tianxu's gaze was calm as still water.

"Heavens? ...The will of Heaven."

Di Tian both cried and laughed, his expression filled with desolation and sorrow.

"It's fate... Heaven wants me dead!"

The next moment, this once strongest man in the world actually knelt down on one knee in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Despite its body being bound so tightly as to be almost unable to move, despite the threads of fate cutting into its flesh and blood, its dragon body covered with crisscrossing wounds, and black dragon blood seeping from the wounds with every breath, it still stubbornly turned its back, held the black dragon sword behind its back, revealing the dark golden dragon bones below, and twisted it into a military salute.

The experiences of hundreds of thousands of years, transformed into countless fragments, constantly echoed in his heart, immersing Di Tian completely in his memories.

At this moment, it seems that nothing else matters anymore; everything that has happened has already happened.

In his youth, he was favored by the Dragon God, who then perished and transformed into two great Dragon Kings. Following this, the dragon race declined and has continued to this day…

Everything kept replaying in its mind, like a long scroll being played at an accelerated speed, rushing past its eyes.

A feeling of relief washed over me; I suddenly felt incredibly relaxed. It ended just like that, filled with regret, but it was finally over!

Just then, in the distance, the color of the sky suddenly changed strangely. That direction was the Starry Sky Forest.

The sky over there suddenly turned into seven colors without warning, with a shimmering halo of colors, as if a god was about to descend.
