Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky.

"As revenge, before his soul completely dissipated, he personally exterminated my Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon Clan."

The voice of the God of Destruction was filled with bitterness and self-mockery.

"Later, Douluo Continent encountered a great calamity that was enough to overturn the entire plane. Extraterrestrial visitors representing the power to end the world accidentally arrived in Douluo Continent. However, in order to completely eliminate the possibility of the Dragon God's resurrection, the God Realm chose to stand by and watch."

"As the rulers of Douluo Continent at that time, the Dragon Clan was rightfully so. Their population was almost wiped out. The nine sons of the Dragon God either died or fled. The Golden Dragon King perished in that calamity. Only the Silver Dragon King and a little black dragon survived and fled into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, disappearing without a trace."

"As for me, the traitor..." The God of Destruction's lips curled into a bitter smile, "I didn't have a good end either. Did the two god-kings, Good and Evil, fulfill their promises? No. They tricked me and in the end, they elected a human boy as the new ruler."

The God of Destruction's laughter was tinged with sorrow. He looked down at his hands, his translucent palms gradually dissipating, turning into countless purple specks of light that drifted toward Kong Tianxu, who was sitting cross-legged.

"I haven't left much of my original power," it said, "but with the nourishment of the Dragon God's half-body, the strongest physical form in the God Realm, plus my last bit of destructive power, it should be enough for you to merge the mysteries of destruction and life into one, achieving a true dual-law enforcement godhood. You are stronger than me, and stronger than the Dragon God—because you not only possess the power of the dragon race, but also the wisdom and resilience of humanity. And you have three martial souls..."

"If that thing is still on the Silver Dragon King, perhaps..."

The God of Destruction didn't finish his sentence. His form began to fade, transforming from a solid entity into a phantom, and then from a phantom into a faint purple halo.

Before it completely dissipated, it slowly emerged from the halo and walked towards the unyielding corpse of the golden dragon. Its steps were steady and composed, as if it were going to keep an invitation that was countless millennia overdue.

He looked up at the Golden Dragon King's gaping maw.

"Dragon God, I've come to join you too."

A sigh.

The purple aura suddenly surged, transforming into a phantom image of a purple-black dragon with wings that blotted out the sky. The phantom spiraled upwards, leaving a long purple tail in the air, before plunging into the mouth of the Golden Dragon King's corpse, and the two became one.

The last glimmer of purple light dissipated.

A brief silence fell over the entire underground space. Then, the massive corpse of the Golden Dragon King began to tremble violently, countless cracks spreading in all directions from the fatal wound on its chest. Each crack emitted a blinding golden light, illuminating the entire underground space as if it were daytime.

Kong Tianxu sat cross-legged in the void, his physical spirit operating at an unprecedented speed. The entire essence of a god-king level being circulated within him like a mighty river, and the patterns on the bones of the Emperor Beast's torso became increasingly complex and ancient.

Rose gold and pure gold intertwined on Kong Tianxu's chest, making his entire chest cavity appear like a translucent piece of jade.

Against the backdrop of the jade, countless dazzling rays of light of various colors formed a rainbow bridge, carrying a round, golden light, like a small sun, into the body.

The colorful light illuminated the surroundings, making everything transparent. Only then did Kong Tianxu realize what those faint fluorescent lights in this space were.

The dragon bones, all of them, ranged in size from tens of meters to hundreds of meters tall. These dragon bones, which were gradually being melted by the purple light of destruction, all emitted faint energy fluctuations.

Previously, under the impact of the Golden Dragon King's corpse, all the dragon corpses had dimmed their brilliance. Now, without the suppression of the Golden Dragon King's aura, they all shone with their own radiance, soaring into the sky. This space was clearly the battlefield where the Golden and Silver Dragon Kings and the nine sons of the Dragon God led the dragon race to fight against the great calamity. It was also the burial ground specially prepared for them by the God of Destruction!

Those colorful lights were the Dragon Pills that the God of Destruction refined using all the dragon bones!

The dragon's head was severed; it truly was the dragon's head.

Kong Tianxu took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the soul core.

At this moment, all Kong Tianxu could feel was sublimation. The three soul cores in his body were all operating violently at an unprecedentedly terrifying speed. Each operation generated huge fluctuations of soul power, and the Scepter of Destruction and the Seed of Life resonated together in the sea of ​​his spirit.

His spiritual sea transformed into a purer gold, and his spiritual consciousness materialized. A divine aura he had once sensed in the Necromancer Saint and the Undead Scourge, Elex, emanated from his own spiritual sea, and it continued to sublimate.

With all three eyes of the Eye of Birth, Death, and Reincarnation open, a touch of vicissitude and a hint of enlightenment appeared deep within Kong Tianxu's eyes. All the power within his body underwent a tremendous transformation during the sublimation process.

The golden light of the Heavenly Soul Core, the white light of the Spiritual Soul Core, and the black light of the Blood Qi Soul Core were simultaneously activated to their limits. The three halos approached, overlapped, and intertwined in the chest cavity. The edges of the halos began to permeate each other. The area where gold and white blended was dyed into a very light purple-gold, the white and black mixed to produce a ring of bluish-gray, and the black and gold condensed into a powerful dark gold.

During the fusion process, the gravitational fields of the three soul cores resonated in an unprecedented way. The frequency of that resonance became faster and stronger, eventually crossing an invisible critical point.

The elements, spiritual power, and blood energy within his body instantly merged together, and an extremely intense purple-gold halo exploded behind Kong Tianxu, enveloping the eight soul rings of his supreme martial soul—seven red and one gold—which pulsed together, bowing in homage to the supreme and supreme God-King level Purple Extreme Golden Dragon King soul ring.

As all dragons converged into one, a new power began to surge, and two crowns, one azure and the other deep purple, condensed and took shape atop Kong Tianxu's head.

The Divine Dragon Martial Soul had already detached itself from Kong Tianxu's back, lowering its noble head to await the crown of destruction. The supreme body only needed to reach out to grasp the ever-beating heart of the Tree of Life.

Both martial souls are already equipped with nine rings each; only the final divine ring is needed to ascend to godhood.

But is this the path I've been searching for?

Kong Tianxu asked himself these questions.

Time passed slowly.

A moment later, the dragon, the man, and the god all disappeared.

The six paths, like the wings of a holy spirit descending from heaven, rose up and floated away. In the eyes of birth, death, and reincarnation, blue and purple began their most essential fusion for the first time.

That year, Kong Tianxu was twenty-one years old.

……

The Sun and Moon Empire was operating as usual.

Empress Xu Tianzhen ruled this unprecedentedly vast empire with a combination of iron-fisted and benevolent methods. She abolished the hereditary privileges of all the old nobles, unified all the Soul Master sects on the continent into the jurisdiction of the Holy Spirit Cult, and allowed every child of school age to awaken their Martial Soul for free.

Cain, the Chief Inquisitor of the Holy Spirit Cult, is responsible for handling all matters of darkness. The Sun Moon Empire National University is thriving, Shrek's jokes endure, and the beautiful vision of a new era is becoming a reality at an astonishing pace.

Everything was bustling and prosperous, except for the once thriving Star Dou Great Forest, the number one gathering place for soul beasts on the continent, which was sealed off by the Sun Moon Empire with heavy troops, strictly prohibiting anyone from spying on it.

……

Time flows like water, ceaselessly rushing forward.

Nine years later.

The Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace, the martial arts training ground.

Eleven-year-old Princess Kong Tingxi, dressed in a well-tailored, moon-white outfit, stood in the center of the palace's martial arts arena. Her appearance inherited her father's handsome features and her mother's delicate beauty. Her long, black hair was tied high in a ponytail, and her gentle brows concealed a resolute and heroic spirit.

Beneath his feet was a 70,000-year-old crimson-gold lion that had just breathed its last.

The giant lion was three zhang tall, its body covered with golden-red scales like lava. Even in death, its corpse still exuded a powerful aura and pressure.

It was the king of the Crimson Lion clan, and had wreaked havoc on the edge of the Mingdou Mountains for many years. The Holy Spirit Cult mobilized an entire squad to hunt it down and bring it back to Mingdu.

Kong Tingxi opened and closed her beautiful eyes, and the golden dragon totem behind her raised its head and let out a long roar. A thick circle of ink spread out behind her, resonating with the three ten-thousand-year soul rings in front of her. The golden dragon bloodline roared joyfully.

A pure Golden Dragon Martial Soul, a powerful offensive type Soul Master, with his fourth Soul Ring, a 70,000-year Crimson Gold Lion Soul Ring, easily dealt with.

"Your Highness is mighty!"

"Mother, I've reached the fourth ring!" Amidst the shouts of the guards and palace maids around the training ground, Kong Tingxi casually picked up the nearest younger sister, her innocent eyes wide, "Tomorrow's southern tour..."

Chapter 417 Island Raiders: Old Friends Return

Nestled in her arms, Kong Tingxie, who had inherited her mother's stunning beauty and her extraordinary laziness, clapped her hands as she gazed at the four dark soul rings behind her elder sister, which pulsated with a cheerful rhythm. Her long, sea-blue hair swayed gently in the air like waves, and she exclaimed in amazement, "Oh~".

Nine-year-old Tingxie thought her older sister was really amazing. They were both born with full soul power, but her sister, who was only two years older than her, had a soul power level that was a full twenty levels higher than hers. Now that she had broken through to the fourth ring, the gap was even greater.

You should know that she only has one spirit ring so far.

Seeing this scene, Xu Tianzhen, whose authority had been growing stronger lately, couldn't help but smile. Ma Xiaotao, who was tying her daughter Kong Tingai's hair into a pigtail, burst out laughing. Tang Wutong blushed and pretended to raise her fist to teach her daughter a lesson. Kong Tingxi cooperated by making a paper cutout, which made Kong Tingxi, who was looking serious, lose her composure.

There's no other reason than that this little girl is just too lazy...

Yes, as Tang Wutong's daughter, Kong Tianxu's youngest daughter, Kong Tingxie, also inherited her mother's fine tradition of practicing only for three days and then resting for two hundred. While her mother relied on the Sea God's inheritance to sleep until noon every day and check how much her soul power had grown, she could sleep all day without practicing.

With her top-tier innate full soul power and a neutral variant of the Sea Soul Puppet martial soul, she can cultivate at an extremely fast speed and is naturally favored and supported by all sea soul beasts. Therefore, even with such laziness, Kong Tingxie can still reach the level of a top genius at nine years old and level twenty.

In fact, Kong Tingxie had been stuck at level 20 for quite some time because the girl was conflicted about her first soul ring being a warm yellow, while her second soul ring should have been a bright purple, as the combination would have looked much better. However, her good friends—the clumsy deep-sea whale Xiao Lan, the beautiful sea princess Liya, and the cool demon soul great white shark Bai Bai—all wanted to form a soul imprint contract with her as soon as possible, which put the girl in a difficult position. Recently, she had been riding her big fish out to sea much less often.

Well, the big fish here is the last remaining of the three overlords of the Douluo Sea, the Azure Wave Emperor Sword Flagfish King. It is arrogant and has slightly violated the Sun and Moon Pass. In the end, it was modified into a level 10 soul guide mecha by Kong Deming who was passing by.

The poor king of speed on the seas, who didn't succumb to the competition among the sea's giants, ended up as a little girl's personal yacht...

However, no matter what, although the blood-red color was a bit ugly, it still had two colors, which was much better than her older sister's, Xiao Tingxie thought to herself with satisfaction.

After being teased and rubbed by Cain and Xue Di, Kong Tingxi began to struggle with how to rank his friends. Xu Tianzhen and the others gradually suppressed their laughter and agreed to Kong Tingxi's request, saying that someone had recently reported that there seemed to be some unusual activity in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it wouldn't hurt for Kong Tingxi to go and take a look to relax.

Upon hearing this, Kong Tingnuan, who had just finished tying her hair, immediately shouted that she wanted to go too. Hearing her voice, Kong Tinghuan, who had been giving Xu Jiujiu meaningful glances but had not received any response, could not help but do it as well. With a flash of silver light and her skirt fluttering, she raised her slender, fair arms high above Kong Tingnuan.

Xu Jiujiu glanced helplessly at Ma Xiaotao. It was one thing that his own daughter's unicorn martial soul was born with spatial abilities and no one could catch her, but why didn't your little devil stop her? Well, with one being bold and the other a cunning strategist, there was bound to be some trouble.

Sure enough, the two little girls weren't done huddling together yet. Kong Tinghuan glanced at the distance, seemingly confirming some location. Two spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, appeared above his head. He rubbed his hands together rapidly, and a ball of silver light began to expand.

However, the person she sought help from showed no mercy. With a flick of her small hand hidden in her warm sleeves, a burst of silver light containing multiple strong elemental fluctuations erupted from her fingertips. After a clear dragon's roar resounded, the light in Kong Tinghuan's hand completely dissipated.

It seems that the spatial attribute of my pure silver dragon martial soul is no weaker than that of a unicorn. I haven't let my father down.

Kong Tingwan nodded in satisfaction, snuggled back into Zhang Lexuan's doting and broad embrace, rubbed against her, squinted her eyes, and continued to recall the legendary story about her father that her mother had told her last night. She fantasized about traveling back in time and adventuring with the Supreme Dragon and the Moon Goddess Douluo in their youth, transforming into a pair of male and female thieves. When she got to the most exciting parts of her fantasy, she happily snuggled against Zhang Lexuan and hummed softly.

Hehe, Mom smells good, Dad is handsome, hehe...hehe...

"Tingxi has now broken through to the fourth ring. With the strength of a pure Golden Dragon Martial Soul, coupled with a special soul tool, she is now fully capable of protecting herself. Even when she was your age, she would already be a three-ring Soul Master. But as far as I know, none of you have broken through to level 30 yet. If you go out, can you defeat a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast?"

Kong Qiu'er, who was both the leader of the children and the royal instructor, crossed her arms and spoke in a cold and authoritative voice.

Seeing that one of the three leaders of the best friends alliance had betrayed the revolution, and the eldest sister had spoken again, Kong Tinghuan sighed that the situation was hopeless and that heaven was not on her side. Just as she was about to kneel down, Kong Tingai grabbed her hand, shouted, and her eyes suddenly turned into blazing red-gold vertical pupils.

A surge of intense heat emanated from her body, accompanied by a soft dragon's roar. Her skin glowed with a pale red hue, and her left cheek was covered with fine dragon scales that extended down her neck, shoulder, and left arm and hand. On her right hand, however, were dazzling crimson-gold fire feathers.

Compared to the absolute domineering power of Kong Tingxi's Golden Dragon Martial Soul, Kong Ting'ai's Martial Soul, which also appeared to be a dragon, was relatively gentler, but only relatively. The fire-attribute True Dragon exuded the powerful aura of an ultimate attribute super Martial Soul, and two purple spirit rings instantly rose from its feet.

"Xiao Ai, do you secretly cultivate at night instead of sleeping...?" Kong Tinghuan was extremely shocked that yet another good sister who had betrayed the revolution and diligently cultivated had done so.

"Level 30?" Kong Qiu'er was also slightly moved.

Kong Ting'ai, first martial soul, ultimate fire true fire dragon, second martial soul, ultimate fire fire phoenix, twin super martial soul master, level 30.

Ma Xiaotao was beaming with pride.

Kong Tianxu's hard work over the past six months has yielded results here. Although the four children are only nine years old, each of them possesses first-rate looks and talent. Individually, they are all unparalleled geniuses capable of dominating an era.

Well, except for those raised by a certain lazy dog.

Kong Tingxi was also extremely surprised. Only she knew how much effort she had put in to catch up with her father. Kong Tianxu only started trying the most basic soul power training at the age of three. Then, he maintained a normal daily routine and spent a year exploring the bottom level of his innate soul power—level ten. Kong Tingxi, on the other hand, had been working without rest since the age of two and only spent eleven months confirming the fact that she had full innate soul power.

“It seems I’m not the only one who takes my father as a role model,” Kong Tingxi said, patting Kong Tingai’s head. “Does Xiao Ai also want to go out and see the world?”

Kong Ting'ai, who was only slightly older than the youngest Tingxie but was usually fearless, surprisingly remained well-behaved in the face of her eldest sister's natural dominance and nodded firmly upon hearing this.

"Yes! I also want to visit the places my father went to!"

“Mother…” Kong Tingxi looked at Xu Tianzhen with pleading eyes again, and then looked at Kong Deming.

Kong Tingjie gave up thinking, Kong Tinghuan clenched his little fist, and Kong Tingwan's ears twitched slightly.

Kong Deming's heart was almost melting, and he showed a rare hint of urgency, but he saw Xu Tianzhen and Cain Xuedi and the others exchange knowing smiles.

"Then let's go together!"

"Long live!" Kong Tinghuan cheered, pulling out a bottle of champagne from somewhere and preparing to start the celebration.

Xu Jiujiu's face darkened.

"Tonight's rest is canceled. Continue learning astrology with me."
