Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

……

In Tian Dou City, Duke Dai Hao of the White Tiger clan watched as the city crumbled under the combined might of the Fire Phoenix and the Ice and Snow God, swallowing his crushing defeat along with his tears of blood.

……

At the Haotian Sect, Titan had just returned to the empty castle with Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong'er. Far, far away, Tang Yunyue, who had been observing the changes in the Haotian Sect's energy through his soul tool, trembled as he pressed the button in his hand.

Ten level-nine fixed-equipment soul tools erupted simultaneously, and endless light and heat rose at that moment. Amidst the Titan's miserable howls, the Haotian Fortress, which had been passed down for ten thousand years, and the Lone Peak perished together.

……

Standing on the plain, Jing Hongchen, a senior researcher and ninth-level soul master at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Research Institute, twisted his heavy body and looked at the majestic city not far away, filled with emotion.

This city, which had never had a lord or vassal state before, finally welcomed its first lord.

With its new name—

Tianzheng.

If Heaven comes to see us, it means we have conquered it.

This is a city conquered by the heavens.

……

Looking down from the air, Kong Tianxu saw the Douluo land, where all living beings rose and fell.

A small golden head popped out from beside his shoulder.

First came two ears, then three rose-gold eyes, and finally a fluffy little head. Kong Qiu'er looked around in a daze, and when she saw the vast emptiness beneath her feet, she tucked her ears back.

But she quickly calmed down. After all, she was an imperial mythical beast, and a mere height was not enough to frighten her.

She arched herself up, her four short legs kicking back and forth on Kong Tianxu's shoulders, finally finding a suitable position. She lay down comfortably, her three eyes reflecting the boundless Douluo land beneath her feet, gradually becoming quiet and content.

A sense of peace of mind prevails.

Chapter 395 The Wind God Wyvern and the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant: The Hunt for the Ten Fiends

Kong Tianxu headed west.

He flew very high. With the full power of his level 98 Heavenly Soul Core, Kong Tianxu's soul power was even greater than that of the Beast God Di Tian at his peak. His normal flight range had already surpassed the concept of 10,000 meters above the sky, and he was truly adjacent to the starry sky.

Here, all elements have become extremely scarce. Even the relatively abundant water, ice, and wind properties in the conventional high-altitude concept have become almost zero. The starlight in the sky seems brilliant, but the actual distance is unknown. Even Kong Tianxu, who possesses eternal starlight, cannot draw much elemental energy from it, which is extremely close to the concept of "nothingness".

Even the fierce winds seemed to soften. From this height, everything appeared so small and so quiet.

Below him, the clouds churned like an endless white ocean, with occasional glimpses of verdant land and winding rivers peeking through the gaps.

That was the Douluo Land, slowly awakening, with mountains like bones, rivers like veins, and cities and villages like scattered silver pieces on a green velvet carpet, like a huge scroll slowly unfolding in the morning light.

Kong Tianxu glanced at it indifferently and then ignored it. His flight speed was very fast, but the feeling was completely different from before.

After breaking through to the Title Douluo level, and especially after absorbing the Black Sun and Purple Moon dual soul core black hole soul power accumulated by the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King over 800,000 years, everything seemed to have changed. Not only his cultivation level, but also his perception, spiritual power, and even his understanding of the world had become different.

If his original level was microscopic, enough to refine all things in the world into the most primitive particle form, then now he can be said to be all-encompassing. No matter what environment he is in, he has a feeling of having everything around him under control, and has even explored a supreme realm of going from complexity to simplicity and then from simplicity to complexity.

This feeling was very peculiar and wonderful, and Kong Tianxu himself could not explain why he felt this way.

He simply felt that even the smallest particle in the air could be under his control, changing with his will, returning to nothingness, condensing into a thousand strands, and in the blink of an eye, flowers bloom and wither.

The world's original three-dimensionality has become a multi-dimensional experience, and his vision is getting closer and closer to the "origin" of the world.

While Kong Tianxu was carefully sensing the changes in his own cultivation, Maple Leaf City, the former border town of the Heavenly Soul Empire and now the temporary command headquarters of the Sun Moon Empire, had already been left far behind him.

As the city receded into the distance, the landscape began to become wild and desolate.

Like the spine of a giant dragon, the Mingdou Mountain Range, the first perilous pass of the Douluo Continent stretching thousands of kilometers from north to south, is also the collision line between the Sun Moon Continent and Douluo in the past, and it is about to reach its end here.

Upon seeing this strangely precipitous mountain range, Kong Tianxu knew that he was nearing his first destination. He adjusted his direction slightly and began to proceed along the gradually sloping yet increasingly towering and treacherous mountain terrain.

At his current speed, he streaked across the sky like a streak of light and arrived at his destination in less than fifteen minutes.

Abruptly, a mountain range a thousand meters high abruptly ends here.

It was as if something had forcibly cut it off; the edge of the cliff dropped ninety degrees, a thousand feet high. In front of it was not a flat, endless plain like the Starfall Grassland, but a deep, unfathomable valley that separated the Sun Moon Empire from the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Even the strongest midday sunlight cannot penetrate its depths. The light seems to undergo some strange distortion above the abyss, stopping at its edge. Standing on the precipice and looking down, all one can see is a swirling expanse of mist.

In fact, this deepest part of the valley, which no one has ever explored, is also known as "Heavenly Wound".

"The Abyss of Heavenly Wounds, be careful, I've heard Di Tian mention this place..." came the faint spiritual message from the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.

The Abyss of Heavenly Wounds is also a unique landform formed after the collision between the Douluo Continent and the Sun Moon Continent. However, unlike the Ming Dou Mountains, its formation remains inconclusive.

Some scholars believe it is a huge rift created when two continents collided; others believe it is the remnant of a great battle in ancient times, from which the force that severed the Mingdou Mountains came; there are even more absurd legends that say the Abyss of Heavenly Wounds was not formed naturally, but rather a wound left by a fallen god who crashed into the earth.

But neither of these claims has any conclusive evidence—because no one has ever been able to bring back the answer from the bottom of the abyss.

It, along with the ominous Starry Sky Forest, the core area of ​​the Demon Forest, the core area of ​​the far north, and the Demon Cloud Sea Triangle located in the densely trafficked coastal area, are known as the five forbidden zones of the human world, and it ranks first.

This is not because it is obviously dangerous, but because of its completely unpredictable mystery. However, the fact that it can overshadow the Star Dou Great Forest, which is guarded by the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, ​​shows just how dangerous it is.

Kong Tianxu silently gazed for a while at the cliff called "Severed Dragon Head" on the edge of the Abyss of Heavenly Wounds, pondering the possible connection between this name and the final divine test of the God of Destruction. He reached out and patted the head of the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, pressing her back down from her excited state, and then descended along the sloping wall on the side of the Heavenly Soul Empire.

Although the Abyss of Heavenly Wounds is more known for its mystery, like the other four forbidden zones of heaven and earth, it is also inhabited by ferocious beasts.

Kong Tianxu arrived at this final divine test site ahead of time precisely for this reason.

He continued downwards.

The fog in the valley was much thicker than Kong Tianxu had imagined. It was not ordinary water mist, but a grayish-blue gas containing some kind of strange energy, leaving a cool and sticky feeling on the skin.

The range of mental energy detection is greatly compressed here. What used to cover dozens of miles can now only extend to less than a hundred feet, beyond which everything becomes a blur. Occasionally, strange luminous objects can be seen in the mist, along with some exposed minerals on the rock walls, shimmering with starlight in the dark abyss.

A mountain peak suddenly appeared amidst the clouds and mist.

It is shaped like an inverted giant bell, with a dark blue-black body and a surface covered with jagged rocks and dead ancient trees.

found it.

A pale golden light of soul power emanated from Kong Tianxu, and the supreme pressure of heaven and earth tinted the surrounding hundreds of feet of mist with a pale golden halo, like a sun suddenly rising in the gray-blue mist!

"boom--"

A rumbling sound echoed through the valley; the "mountain peak" had moved!

The boulders tumbled and dust billowed as the entire "mountain" began to crack open from the inside. As the rocks crumbled away, something different was revealed inside the mountain:

Its rough, grayish-brown skin was covered with crisscrossing grooves and cracks, each several meters deep, filled with fragments of gravel and dried moss. Its long tusks protruded outwards, like two curved giant spears, extending from the sides of its lower jaw, their tips gleaming a cold, ivory white in the dim light.

It was a giant elephant, a giant elephant carrying a mountain!

Its body was so magnificent it was almost absurd. Although it was not as tall as the Titan Snow Demon King, it was still over a hundred meters tall.

Moreover, its shape wasn't even a cube, but a cuboid—its longer side being its shoulder width. Its terrifying form was fully revealed, perfectly embodying the name of this spirit beast.

The ninth of the Ten Ferocious Beasts, an ancient and primordial species, the 330,000-year-old Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant—Mountain Demon Lord.

When it was completely separated from the mountain, the entire abyss seemed to shrink a bit because of it.

At this moment, not only was Kong Tianxu shocked by the size of the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant, but the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant was also horrified by Kong Tianxu's aura.

Its eyes, as big as millstones, were filled with astonishment and uncertainty as it looked at the human who was as insignificant as dust in front of it, and it felt a shiver from the depths of its soul.

It is an instinctive fear of being watched by a higher level of life.

"Human," the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant spoke, its voice deep and resonant, like a resonance within the mountain itself, causing the surrounding rocks to tremble slightly. "What brings you here?"

"I want you to sacrifice yourself for me."

Kong Tianxu stretched out his arms, and thousands of silk-like rose-gold rays intertwined behind him, transforming into a faint golden halo that descended. In the radiant glow, the phantom of a three-eyed golden lion could be faintly seen.

"In exchange, I will grant you eternal life."

Despite the fact that this giant mountain demon elephant may be the only one left at the time, and its cultivation level is not high, ranking even lower than the eighth-ranked Crimson King among the ten ferocious beasts, its bloodline is incomparable to that of the three-headed Crimson Demon Mastiff that has lost the essence of its ancestor.

Among the ten ferocious beasts, the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant is a very special existence. Although its bloodline is strong, its own abilities are not entirely designed for combat, but are completely specialized in strength and endurance. Its favorite things are eating stones and sleeping, and it was unknown to humans for a long time.

It wasn't until thousands of years ago, when it used its innate ability "Mountain Transformation" to wear down a Super Douluo during a skirmish, that it became famous.

Of course, almost no one knows that the level 95 powerhouse, who even the mighty Limit Douluo might not have been able to survive back then, actually starved to death because he couldn't break out of the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant's cage of mountains, which used his body as the sky and the earth as the prison...

Therefore, in terms of overall strength, the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant could never possibly defeat the combat-type soul beast Crimson King when its cultivation level was inferior, which is why it ranked ninth.

However, for Kong Tianxu, this kind of soul beast is exactly what he needs most right now.

With the terrifying instincts of his current supreme martial soul, ordinary super soul beasts and even ferocious beast soul skills have lost their meaning and may not be as powerful as his fists and feet. On the contrary, the seemingly useless soul skill of the "Chengshan" beast can better exert the power of his physical body.

"An auspicious omen of destiny!"

For the first time, a clear light appeared in the murky amber eyes of the Giant Spirit Mountain Elephant.

Hearing Kong Tianxu's blunt words, it was not angry at all. It was a rare gentle type among ferocious beasts, and it was born with spiritual intelligence. It had only crushed that super Douluo to death because it was afraid.

Moreover, from Kong Tianxu's performance, it could sense this human's sincerity and terrifying talent. Even the power of fate and auspiciousness favored him, but wasn't this too hasty...?

As the Giant Spirit Mountain Demon Elephant hesitated, suddenly, a beam of azure light shot out from the depths of the clouds!

The azure light was incredibly fast, even faster than Cain's blood-red light. It was so fast that even Kong Tianxu's spiritual power could only catch a fleeting afterimage. Like a bolt of lightning ripping through the night sky, it struck Kong Tianxu's back from the side, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that seemed to tear space apart.

However, among ordinary living beings, strength and weakness are constant, and astonishing speed exposes more of their weaknesses.

The giant mountain demon elephant's expression changed instantly.

Kong Tianxu didn't even glance at it.

Driven by his will, the demonic vines suddenly emerged from the void, dozens of dark blue vines as thick as arms intertwining in front of him to form a dense, impenetrable net. At the same time, the tightly closed demonic eyes on the surface of the vines opened, and hundreds of yellow-green gazes converged on the same point, firmly locking onto the trajectory of the blue light.

The azure light revealed its true form beneath the giant net:

It was a strange beast covered in cyan-silver scales and feathers. Its body was not very large, but its wingspan exceeded thirty meters. Its wings were semi-transparent membranes with pale silver lightning at the edges, and each flap of its wings was accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder.

Kong Tianxu raised his right hand—

Nine colors and dark gold intertwined, and a ten-thousand-meter-long dreadful claw swept across the sky, like a beam of judgment descending from the heavens, tearing apart the clouds, darkness, rocks, and even space itself, and ruthlessly slashing down along the trajectory of the blue light that was restricted by vines!

"puff--"

The blue and silver scales scattered and flew everywhere. The beast's body paused for a moment after the light blade passed by, and then, starting from its head, it was neatly split into six pieces, turning into blood mist that exploded in the air.

One move, instant kill.

Kong Tianxu withdrew his right hand. An ethereal left leg bone, along with a blood-red soul ring with three golden patterns, appeared in his hand.

The absolute power of the Dragon God Claw, combined with the extreme sharpness of the Sky-Tearing Claw, resulted in such a terrifying attack that in a single exchange, a ferocious beast with over 300,000 years of cultivation was reduced to a cloud of blood mist.
