Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"Hmm? They arrived so quickly?" Kong Tianxu suddenly seemed to sense something, frowning slightly. Without time to think further, the Dragon Spear of Fate completed its absorption of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's energy and was pulled out from its withered corpse.

The rear of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's corpse suddenly trembled violently. With a deafening roar, a huge hole exploded in the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's body. Immediately afterwards, two intense purple lights surged out from the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body, rapidly spinning and converging into the air to form a huge purple vortex.

Within the vortex, there was a structure resembling a left leg bone, but connected to other bones. It was entirely purple and translucent, as if cast from amethyst.

That's right, this is the soul bone that a soul beast over 100,000 years old will inevitably produce. It is also a left leg soul bone produced according to the missing part of Kong Tianxu who killed it.

Kong Tianxu didn't linger to observe. He reached into the purple vortex with his right hand, grabbed it, and gathered all the energy into his right hand. His right hand instantly turned purple, and he vanished in a flash.

The next moment, from an unknown distance, a tiny golden dot of light was rapidly approaching, and in the blink of an eye, the golden dot of light doubled in size.

In the time it takes to breathe, a surge of golden light descended from the sky, just like the sun shining on the earth. The intense golden light instantly enveloped the entire space.

In an instant, the two figures arrived at the spot where Kong Tianxu had been standing.

Ahead stood a woman who appeared to be only eighteen or nineteen years old, with skin as white as snow and an exquisitely beautiful face. She wore a long, golden palace-style dress, a one-piece garment seemingly woven from gold thread, without excessive embellishment, its style simple yet elegant. A golden stand-up collar protected her long, slender, white neck, and her long, golden hair was casually draped down her back, uncombed. This contrasted sharply with her impeccably tailored palace attire.

Her golden eyes were calm as still water, without the slightest fluctuation of energy, making her appear like an ordinary person. However, within those golden eyes lay an indescribable quality. And between her brows was a golden, six-winged angel mark.

Looking at the empty sea surface, with only the withered corpse of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King drifting with the waves, a hint of emotion flashed in her long, clear eyes, followed by a slight frown of doubt:

“Strange, he was clearly here before the soul power imprint showed that he was here. In fact, I could even sense his presence.”

The massive energy surge that Kong Tianxu had just unleashed shocked the entire world. Even Qian Renxue, the Angel Goddess far away on the coast, felt the power of this attack and hurriedly followed the trajectory of the energy burst to investigate. There, she discovered an aura that left a deep impression on her.

Yes, under Kong Tianxu's encouragement, the hardworking Qian Renxue has successfully inherited the position of angel. Moreover, due to Kong Tianxu's intentional or unintentional interference, some things have deviated from their intended purpose.

Behind her, Sen Daoliu, feeling deeply out of touch with the times, sighed:

“Xiaoxue, he is also a person favored by the gods. Although I don’t know which god’s position he inherited, it is probably no weaker than the Angel God. It’s natural that he has some means of self-preservation. He probably paid a considerable price to kill this Deep Sea Demon Whale King, so don’t worry. There was a slight error during my sacrifice, and I couldn’t fully integrate the Angel God’s position with you. You shouldn’t stay outside for too long. Let’s deal with Tang San first.”

"That damned guy!"

Although Qian Renxue was unwilling, she could only stomp her foot in frustration as she sensed Kong Tianxu's omnipresent yet elusive presence in the surrounding space. She then transformed back into a golden light and flew towards the direction of Seagod Island.

Tang San and his companions, hiding on Seagod Island, will likely become a good way for this newly ascended deity to vent his anger...

-----------------

The Fallen Star Plane.

"Luckily, I had a backup plan. How did this woman suddenly become so clever? Her cultivation has improved so quickly; she has already broken through to the god level."

With a flash of silver light, Kong Tianxu's figure tore through space amidst the starry sky. He felt the purple-gold soul imprint flowing within his sea of ​​spirit and let out a long, shallow breath.

In an instant, strange phenomena occurred. The starry sky of the Fallen Star Plane was clearly divided into two colors: gold and purple. Kong Tianxu's left and right arms also showed the corresponding golden and amethyst textures, respectively.

Normally, Kong Tianxu would not be afraid of Qian Renxue, but at this moment, the energy in his body was extremely abundant. The essence of the Golden Tree and the entire body of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was equivalent to several times his own soul power, which he forcibly suppressed in his body. If he was not careful, he would be in a situation of qi deviation. Naturally, it was better to avoid trouble.

Moreover, Kong Tianxu had another important matter to attend to.

He raised his left hand and lowered his right, pulling and pushing the purple-gold energy cloud towards the sky. Before him lay the three left leg bones he had obtained on this soul-hunting journey: the agile wind and thunder, the stable mountains, and the endless deep sea. At the same time, the brain of the demonic whale, the remaining Sun and Moon Soul-Nourishing Pills, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, which had dimmed considerably, were also lined up in a row.

The soul entities of Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Azure Sea Fish Dragon King, Sea Princess, and others flew out of Kong Tianxu's body one by one. Seeing that they were all soul beast kings who had reached or were about to reach that level, how could they not know what Kong Tianxu was about to do?

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion looked worriedly at the energy cluster in the sky, which was twice the size of her peak energy, and then at Kong Tianxu. At this time, the plane formed by the fall had already been cleared by Kong Tianxu in advance, so there were only them in the vast space.

"I want to condense my soul core using the Yin-Yang complementarity method to break through to level 99 Limit Douluo. I ask for your help."

Kong Tianxu made no attempt to conceal his intentions and directly stated his plans.

He had been stuck at level 98 for some time. If we look at the total amount of pure energy, after absorbing the soul rings of the Shadow Emperor, the Mountain Demon Lord, the Evil Emperor, the Canghai Fish Dragon King, and the Sea Princess, he should have been able to push his soul power to level 99 by now. Unfortunately, in this era, every step forward in cultivation techniques that focus on soul core cultivation cannot bypass the breakthrough of the soul core. To become a god, he must also break through to level 99, the Limit Douluo.

After Kong Tianxu converted all his soul power into black hole soul power, the only path he could choose was to condense a second soul core. A genius of his caliber, with a demigod body, would naturally not be satisfied with such an ordinary method as resonance.

Yin and Yang complement each other; it can only be Yin and Yang complement each other.

A knowing glint flashed in the eyes of the several soul beasts, but the Three-Eyed Golden Lion rubbed against Kong Tianxu's ankle and merged back into his body. The bones of the Emperor Beast's torso immediately lit up and began to actively release some golden fragments.

That was the primordial energy of heaven and earth that the Three-Eyed Golden Lion usually actively accumulated in the bones of the Emperor Beast's body. On one hand, it could be used to stabilize her spiritual consciousness, and on the other hand, it could be used as Kong Tianxu's reserve energy.

The major spirit beasts pretended not to see it. The Sea Princess thought for a moment, then spoke first:

“Master, since you have such ideas and such conditions, we will naturally give our full support. However, the condensation of the Yin-Yang complementary dual soul cores is extremely dangerous. Before we begin, we must first determine the location for condensing the soul cores.”

"Human bodies are far superior to those of us soul beasts, with three places where we can activate our soul cores. Your first soul core is activated in the middle dantian of your chest, but its attributes are quite unique and don't seem to affect the separation of other attributes. Your own attributes are also extremely numerous and powerful, so I suggest you take a part of them, distinguish between primary and secondary ones. If you want to focus on spiritual power to condense your second soul core, then choose to activate it in the upper dantian between your eyebrows where your spiritual sea is located. If you want to focus on multiple elements or blood and qi power to condense your second soul core, then choose to activate it in the lower dantian below your navel where soul power is most concentrated. This way, you have the greatest chance of success."

"Well said."

Kong Tianxu raised his hands and smiled slightly.

"But I want them all."

"I want to simultaneously condense two soul cores, forming a multi-layered yin-yang complement with the first soul core—"

"Three Soul Cores!"

Chapter 401 The Second Set of Million-Year Ring Bones, The Carefree Divine Dragon

"Three Soul Cores?!"

Upon hearing Kong Tianxu's words, not only the Sea Princess but also the Three-Eyed Golden Lion, who was struggling to clear the soul power from its body bones, were momentarily stunned.

Simultaneously condensing... dual soul cores?

This is naturally impossible for spirit beasts, but it is not impossible for humans. In the history of spirit masters, there have been genius spirit masters with twin martial souls who formed dual spirit cores ahead of time when breaking through level 90 by using the method of resonance, although the strength of either one was much weaker than that of a regular spirit core.

However, as long as both soul cores are cultivated to the black hole level, one will become a genuine level 99 Limit Douluo, which can be considered a shortcut for those who possess twin martial souls.

However, the method adopted by Kong Tianxu was not the relatively gentle resonance of the same position, but the extremely violent yin-yang complementarity! Moreover, he had to complete all of this under the interference of the first soul core of the demigod level, to achieve the final three soul cores.

Three Soul Cores! An unprecedented three Soul Core!

How many years has the Beast God Di Tian been famous? Hundreds of thousands of years. It has only ever had two soul cores, and even breaking through to level 99 relied on the soul power soul core transformation method. Did it not want to cultivate a third soul core? It certainly did, but it has failed to do so for so many years, demonstrating the difficulty of obtaining a third soul core—it's a dead end that no soul beast or human has ever successfully challenged.

"Master..." After the initial shock, the Sea Princess seemed to want to persuade her again.

Kong Tianxu raised his hand, stopping her from speaking. Some might think that his current method of forming a second soul core through yin-yang complementarity was the safest approach, yielding equally huge benefits and allowing him to break through to the Limit Douluo level, laying an unprecedented foundation for godhood. However, Kong Tianxu didn't think so. He knew that he would inevitably face Tang San in the future, and if he couldn't achieve perfection at every step, how could he bridge the millennia-long gap in cultivation between them?

He stated decisively, "Later, I will simultaneously condense two soul cores. As the Sea Princess said, the first soul core will indeed be established in my brow, primarily based on spiritual power, because the spiritual sea, as the dwelling place of the human soul, has the strongest spiritual power there. However, the third soul core I will condense this time will not be primarily based on attributes, but rather on blood and qi. I will separate the other attribute soul power from the first soul core and distribute it in half to the two new soul cores. In this way, once I successfully condense the three soul cores, then essence, qi, and spirit will be integrated into one. When the three complement each other, soul power, spiritual power, and physical strength will naturally communicate, thus forming a fusion of the three. When I use all my soul skills and abilities, they will simultaneously possess the characteristics of all three."

After listening to Kong Tianxu's words, the Canghai Fish Dragon King was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "Do you know how difficult this is? If we fail, even with your strength..."

Kong Tianxu showed no hesitation, his eyes flashing with cold light, "I will never fail unless I die!"

Without unwavering courage and determination, how could one possibly succeed in attempting to conquer this forbidden realm of human capability?

Silence. Only silence, for this unwavering courage and confidence.

Perhaps this is why the young man in front of me has been able to get to this point.

A moment later, the three-eyed golden lion, its form now much more ethereal, reappeared, patted Kong Tianxu's hand, and expressed its support through its actions.

Long before Kong Tianxu took out so many rare and precious materials, she had already vaguely guessed his intentions. Because there was just too much energy, far more than enough to condense a single soul core. That's why she deliberately released the energy accumulated within her soul bone to prepare for condensing a soul core.

The Azure Sea Fish Dragon King fell silent, revealing its true form, and a massive surge of water elements immediately swept over everything.

Clearly, it had been swayed by Kong Tianxu and was gathering strength for its later madness.

Unlike the Azure Sea Fish Dragon King, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger did not retain a complete physical body. All its power originated from Kong Tianxu. However, having stayed in Kong Tianxu's body for so long, it was most familiar with Kong Tianxu's power. The character "king" on its forehead twisted continuously, and the black and white became more and more distinct, actually evolving the divine power and extreme evil into a rudimentary form of yin and yang complementing each other.

“Master…” The Sea Princess thought for a moment, then hesitated before calling out again.

Kong Tianxu frowned slightly.

He didn't actually have high hopes for the help from the Sea Princess and other Soul Beast Kings. He was just fulfilling his obligation to inform them. But if anyone was weak-willed and wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't mind turning them into a classic type of Soul Ring.

“What I was actually going to say was that my clan’s Heart of the Ocean might be of some help to you; it seems that the item is calling upon you intensely.”

The sea princess raised her hands upwards, and a cluster of blue hexagonal crystals appeared, floating in mid-air.

The moment it appeared, the previously dim, grayish-blue Vast Ocean Universe Cover seemed to have a final burst of light, spinning rapidly and emitting specks of golden sea god light. As if drawn to each other by a tremendous force, the two collided suddenly in mid-air. The Heart of the Ocean gradually liquefied, merging into the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. Then, the light of the Vast Ocean Universe Cover shifted, and its original triangular shape instantly doubled in size, as if two Vast Ocean Universe Covers had connected. Its shape also changed simultaneously, transforming into a deep blue rhombus-shaped gemstone, as if it had been given a new life.

With a sudden burst of inspiration, Kong Tianxu drew his hands together, and the purple vortex formed by the soul ring of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King shot towards the Vast Ocean Universe Cover. A strong soul fluctuation spread out, and the light of the Sea God suddenly changed from gold to blue, a deep blue as deep as the sea.

The blue light fluctuated violently, and the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, the Heart of the Ocean, and the originally deep purple vortex all disappeared, leaving only a clear yet profound blue circle, and dazzling golden light within the blue.

The Sea Princess stared in disbelief: "Legend has it that the Heart of the Ocean was leftover material from when the Sea God forged the core of a divine artifact, the Heart of the Sea God. Could it be... could it be that the activated Heart of the Sea God? And that it helped that 990,000-year-old soul ring break through the million-year limit???"

"That's probably right."

Kong Tianxu couldn't hide his joy and excitedly patted the Sea Princess's head. The million-year soul ring that matched the demigod-level Golden Tree, which he originally thought would be the most time-consuming part, was actually solved by sheer luck.

Let's press on and complete the preliminary work in one fell swoop!

He gave a soft shout, and the azure waterline, carrying brilliant golden light, suddenly sank. From Kong Tianxu's perspective, the earth seemed to turn blue, reflecting the golden light overhead. Several Sun and Moon Soul-Nourishing Pills all transformed into pure liquid energy, rendering the concentration of the world's elemental power between gold and blue to the extreme, even surpassing that of the God Realm.

Three seemingly disparate left leg bones fell one by one into the whale's brain, simultaneously unlocking the gaze of fate and the lock of destiny, and an invisible causal chain began to intertwine.

With the weight of towering peaks, the stirring of wind and thunder, the mountains and rivers are eternally steadfast, while the drifting clouds are ever-changing, just like the vast and boundless sea.

The whale brain shrank rapidly, and the moment it became completely transparent, a deep whale song soared into the sky, echoing through the air. With that ancient and powerful sound, a giant whale rose into the sky, soaring straight upwards. As its purple body swirled through the air, it drew yellow and blue seawater in its wake, and gradually transformed from purple into a blue-gold dragon.

At this moment, the whale's song finally transformed into a clear dragon's roar.

Boom— As the dragon's body rose to a height imperceptible to the naked eye, it suddenly turned and plunged into the earth's veins. The dragon's roar never ceased. With a flash of light, when it reappeared, it was in the form of a fully-fledged dragon, its overall color a smooth blue-gold hue. Its five claws, however, were extremely heavy, and its body was surrounded by azure and silver energies, making it incredibly mystical.

Millions of years later, the moment this left leg bone broke through the 990,000-year barrier, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's bloodline finally completed its lifelong dream of transforming into a dragon. And not just the sea dragon at the end of its bloodline, but a free and unfettered dragon that fully embodied the true essence of sea, land, and air!

The Sea Princess and the Dragon King of the Azure Sea were already speechless with shock, only Kong Qiu'er, who had personally witnessed Kong Tianxu's similar actions, was slightly better.

Everything is ready.

Instead of absorbing it immediately, Kong Tianxu sat cross-legged and placed the Dragon Spear of Fate on his knees, while the Scepter of Destruction rose into the air naturally. He closed his eyes, and his soul power slowly circulated along the most natural path, using it to drive the compressed soul power around his soul core at his chest outward.

This was no easy task, as his body had limited capacity. After acquiring the Soul Core, it helped him compress his Soul Power, allowing him to possess more. Once he mobilized his Soul Power, it filled his meridians, and soon they were completely saturated.

"Qiu'er," he called softly.

The bones in his chest and back trembled slightly, and then emitted a rose-gold light. The immense soul power accumulated within him was immediately absorbed by the bones of this imperial auspicious beast, entering his body and creating space in his meridians.

Everything proceeded smoothly. It's normal for Soul Masters to consume Soul Power, especially during battles. Therefore, after the Soul Power was mobilized, Kong Tianxu's Heavenly Soul Core became significantly more active, beginning to create its own spatial vortex.

Under normal circumstances, these connections with the outside world and the black hole vortex in another dimension would naturally attract the primordial energy of heaven and earth, which would be absorbed into Kong Tianxu's body and transformed back into his soul power to replenish his consumption.

This is also what makes the Soul Core so powerful; given enough time, it can help a Soul Master recover their Soul Power even without meditation.

However, at this moment, Kong Tianxu obviously does not need a soul core to help him restore his soul power.

The Scepter of Destruction glowed faintly, and a layer of deep purple light appeared on Kong Tianxu's skin.

The destructive power naturally emanating from the Scepter of Destruction devours the elemental energy of heaven and earth the moment it gets close. Communication with the elemental energy of heaven and earth outside is naturally out of the question. As a result, no elemental energy of heaven and earth will enter the vicinity of the soul core and re-form soul power.

The Heavenly Soul Core naturally becomes more attractive to the outside world, and external resistance also becomes a driving force for its operation.

The rebound of the soul core began after Kong Tianxu drew more than 70% of his soul power. The powerful suction even caused the barrier generated by the Scepter of Destruction to sway. Although Kong Tianxu tried his best to control it, he could only slow down the suction slightly.
