Chapter 203 First Arrival in the Divine Realm, the Scale of Destruction and the Blessing of the Artifact of Life
Facing the elite inner court disciples that Shrek Academy had gathered over the past decade, Kong Tianxu achieved a total of thirty-seven victories, including the strongest inner court disciples. These thirty-seven battles, which were also thirty-seven consecutive defeats, had firmly nailed the pride of this continent's number one academy to the pillar of shame in the public eye.
On the viewing platform, some of the more vulnerable students had already started crying.
"Second Brother, let's go."
In contrast to the Shrek Academy members' grief, the cheers from the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy grew increasingly jarring to Huo Yuhao. His face turned ashen, and he stood up abruptly, silently pushing He Caitou's wheelchair and storming off.
However, he had just stood up, at this moment when victory and defeat were already decided and everyone was watching—
In the center of the field, Kong Tianxu, who had just achieved a stunning victory, suddenly stood frozen in place, as if he had been frozen in place.
Xuanzi was still discussing something with Yan Shaozhe when he saw this scene and was immediately shocked. Kong Tianxu absolutely cannot have any problems at Shrek Academy!
He flashed to Kong Tianxu's side and subconsciously raised his hand, circulating his soul power to probe him.
But just as he was about to make his move, the scene before him made his heart tremble violently.
Kong Tianxu's eyes, which were already extremely purple after he unleashed the Purple Annihilation Dragon Thunder, became even more profound at this moment, like a true abyss.
At the same time, these eyes were incredibly clear, as sparkling as the finest amethyst, reflecting an astonishing brilliance like the core of the sun.
Even Xuanzi, whose cultivation had already reached the threshold of Limit Douluo, was stunned for a moment. His mind went blank, and the circulation of his soul power, which had become instinctive in his more than two hundred years of cultivation, was instantly interrupted.
It wasn't just because of those eyes, but also because of that sudden, terrifying aura that completely robbed him of his ability and even his will to resist.
At the same time, the soul guide screen in Xiao Hongchen's hand, which was maintaining remote real-time transmission, suddenly lost all signals, turning into a static display of snow.
He frantically tried to inject his soul power and patted the machine, but there was no response.
As if stimulated by this domineering aura, a soft and sacred golden halo suddenly emanated from the distant Sea God Pavilion, or rather, from that majestic golden tree.
Meanwhile, the Myriad Origins Domain, which flowed around Kong Tianxu to protect him, shone brightly, but then dimmed and dissipated in an instant.
The purple hue in his eyes quickly faded, replaced by emptiness and bewilderment. It was as if his very soul had been ripped from his body in an instant, leaving only an empty shell.
"What's wrong with Kong Tianxu? Elder Xuan, how could the Light of the Sea God be activated on its own?" Following his movements, Elder Song and Yan Shaozhe also came to his side.
The soft golden light emitted by the golden tree spread slowly but quickly, landing on Xuanzi in the blink of an eye, causing him to shudder and regain his senses.
But at this moment, he was filled with horror.
What kind of power is this? It's so powerful that he can't even muster the will to resist!
You must know that during the beast tide a hundred years ago, he had faced the powerful aura of the Beast God Emperor Tian, but even the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King did not give him the feeling that he dared not fight!
What's even more incomprehensible is that even his Taotie bloodline seemed to flinch slightly when faced with that aura, which was unprecedented.
Kong Tianxu's situation wasn't much better than his. He felt a sudden surge of energy, and in the next instant, it was as if his spiritual power had left his body.
He had experienced this feeling before, but those were all when he actively released his spiritual power. At the peak of the tangible yet intangible realm, spiritual power could temporarily accompany the soul outside the body.
However, this time it seemed to be different. Kong Tianxu looked closely in astonishment and was horrified to find that what left his body was not his spiritual power, but his pure soul.
Yes, there was no spiritual energy surrounding it, just a pure soul!
The Myriad Beginnings Returning to Origin Domain protected its master on its own, but it only delayed the invisible pulling force for a moment. As if encountering a black hole, a considerable portion of his soul power was sucked away, leaving him in this predicament with almost no power to resist.
But at that very moment, Kong Tianxu heard a soft exclamation tinged with a hint of doubt and surprise.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, he immediately relaxed and began to observe his surroundings.
Once a person's soul is separated from the protection of the physical body, it is extremely fragile and will constantly dissipate into the world. However, at this moment, Kong Tianxu was surprised to find that his soul was surrounded by a faint purple halo.
Protected by this mysterious purple light, his soul not only did not dissipate, but instead became solid and stable, and his perception became clearer than ever before.
Immediately afterwards, a strange force seemed to suddenly appear, pulling his soul out of the battle zone and sending him soaring into the air.
The noise of the Soul Fighting Zone, the lights of Shrek City, the starry sky of Douluo Continent—all these scenes blurred and faded rapidly in Kong Tianxu's perception.
"Good, you can remain calm under these circumstances."
The God of Destruction's solemn voice rang out, and as soon as he finished speaking, Kong Tianxu felt everything his soul perceived fall into a dizzying chaos.
An invisible force seemed to emanate from the void, and in an instant, only a deep purple hue remained around them.
Passing through layers of clouds, traversing the trajectories of stars, breaking through some solid yet ethereal boundary.
It felt like only a moment had passed, yet also like an eternity. Everything around him suddenly became clear, and Kong Tianxu realized that he had regained control of his soul.
He looked up.
The first thing that catches the eye is a tree.
A colossal tree so magnificent that it defies description in any worldly language. Its trunk is so thick that even thousands of people could not encircle it. It stands tall and majestic, reaching into the boundless sky, with no end in sight.
The lush, boundless canopy disappears into the vast sea of clouds above, which flows with seven-colored rays of light. Every drooping branch is covered with dense, glistening leaves. An intense, almost palpable, life force bursts forth from the giant tree like breath, pure and powerful, as if each wisp is nurturing a tiny miracle of life.
Two figures stood side by side under the tree.
On the left was the God of Destruction, shrouded in a heavy, deep purple cloak, his aura as deep and unfathomable as a prison.
On the right was a woman dressed in a light green floor-length dress. Her face was gentle and holy, and her face seemed to be covered with a layer of vibrant golden halo. She was looking at Kong Tianxu's soul body with great interest.
Kong Tianxu quickly averted his gaze and bowed in greeting.
Where the God of Destruction and the God of Life, two great enforcers, appear simultaneously, there is no other possibility.
Unexpectedly, I was able to see the scenery of the divine realm so quickly.
"In such a short time, you have gained such a strong natural understanding of the power of destruction, and have even touched the threshold of the true meaning of destruction. This is truly remarkable."
The God of Destruction's voice remained serious, but the two rare consecutive praises, along with the two points of purple light dancing happily beneath his hood, revealed his emotions.
Kong Tianxu then looked up, and in the instant he met the God of Destruction's gaze, for some reason, even though he was a soul, he felt a strange sensation emanating from his bloodline.
The God of Destruction, seemingly oblivious, continued, "With your current level of divine compatibility, you are already qualified to inherit the position of God of Destruction. As is customary, I should bestow upon you a divine artifact for protection."
"But my Scepter of Destruction is a supreme artifact; even as a projection, its power is far beyond your current cultivation level. Therefore..."
It paused slightly, and then a purple light seemed to flow beneath its cloak, before slowly drifting to the front of Kong Tianxu's soul body.
The object resembled a leaf, about the size of a palm, and was a deep, noble purple. It was naturally marked with distinct ridges and veins, within which flowed a faint, immortal golden divine radiance.
Upon holding it in his hand, even though it was just a soul, Kong Tianxu still felt a slight coolness emanating from it. Its texture was neither gold nor jade, and its weight was astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, it had already merged into Kong Tianxu's soul, and the faint sense of strange bloodline he had felt earlier instantly transformed into a clear resonance.
In addition, there is an extremely strong attraction, as if the two were originally one.
"This item is called the Scale of Destruction. It should help you understand the true meaning of the power of destruction." The God of Destruction's tone was unusually restrained. He clearly had many unsaid words, but in the end, he only condensed them into these few words, sparing with his words.
Before Kong Tianxu could fully savor the profound meaning behind the scales of destruction, the God of Destruction quickly gestured to the God of Life beside him, saying, "As compensation, my wife, the God of Life beside me, will bestow another blessing upon you."
"Hello, little one, don't be nervous. Can I borrow something from you for a moment?"
The Goddess of Life smiled gently, her voice as soothing as a spring breeze. With a light tap of her slender fingers, a vibrant emerald light, brimming with endless life, flowed from her fingertips.
At the same time, a small, bluish-green rib broke through the sea of clouds and instantly appeared, then quickly melted and transformed into the shape of a carving knife.
The carving knife is crystal clear, and a bluish-green liquid life force flows through its golden veins.
It is the gold of life.
"A good idea, and it's not a waste of the gold of life, but the true essence of life lies in the unity of spirit and flesh."
As the God of Life moved his fingertips, a vast and pure divine power of life surged into the Gold of Life. Instantly, the Gold of Life shone brightly, pulsating incessantly, its level and spirituality visibly rising, radiating a vibrant and refreshing charm.
Kong Tianxu, who had merged with it, could feel more clearly that the essence of the living metal was undergoing a tremendous change, becoming more dynamic and resilient, seemingly transforming into a true world.
A divine artifact? Does that mean I'm going to possess one?
Even Kong Tianxu was burning with fervor at this moment. His will to destroy seemed to stir slightly, and a subtle purple aura quietly merged into the azure light of life. The will of the God of Life paused almost imperceptibly, as if it wanted to say something but hesitated.
In the end, a hint of helplessness flashed in the eyes of the God of Life, but he said nothing more, only flicking his finger.
Suddenly, many tiny emerald green specks of light floated out from the canopy of the giant tree. These specks of light seemed to contain a more essential life force, quietly merging into Kong Tianxu's soul.
Kong Tianxu seemed to have sensed this aura not long ago when he swallowed the Jiamu Divine Pill. It was the rare Jiamu aura in the world. However, with the God of Life personally taking action, the Jiamu aura condensed from the Tree of Life was more than a million times purer and more powerful!
The surging life force, like a vast ocean, gradually subsided, and Kong Tianxu was also tinged with a faint golden divine glow. Although it was almost imperceptible, he had officially stepped into the threshold of demigod consciousness.
And that living gold, under the baptism of the divine power of life, transformed into a strange crystal flowing with a warm, emerald light, containing boundless vitality—
A true, divine artifact.
The God of Life smiled slightly and said, "Alright, now, this Golden Life-Gathering Stone can not only absorb the life of inanimate objects, but also nourish its owner. You will need to discover its specific uses and many other effects yourself. Don't be confined by the limitations of your divine position; you can also feel the power of new life beyond destruction."
"This junior will remember." Kong Tianxu's spirit bowed.
The God of Destruction also looked at Kong Tianxu, his voice solemn and full of profound meaning: "In any case, sticking to your own ideas and forging your own path is the most important thing. Alright, go."
As he spoke, the God of Destruction lightly waved his sleeve.
Kong Tianxu felt that everything around him had become unreal. In the next instant, his soul could no longer sense anything outside. Golden light shimmered around his body, and everything became unreal.
"Remember, birth and death are one."
The final, synchronized chant of the gods of destruction and life echoed in his mind as Kong Tianxu gradually lost consciousness.
The spirit began to blur, and the pull of return came.
Kong Tianxu's soul completely vanished, returning to the Douluo Continent. The God of Destruction, who had maintained a solemn posture, relaxed slightly, revealing a rare, faint smile.
"You," the Goddess of Life glanced at the God of Destruction with a hint of reproach, then couldn't help but chuckle, "a little too petty."
She shook her head helplessly and said softly, "You know perfectly well that my life force will not only strengthen that trace of Jia wood energy in his body, but originally it wouldn't have any effect with his peculiar domain. Now look what's happened."
"Hmph." A hint of pleasure emanated from the will of the God of Destruction. "That strange domain made me fail immediately. How can I let this brat suffer a bit? As my successor, I must always remain vigilant."
"Besides, this kid has big ambitions but knows too little. He actually dares to piece together his dragon bloodline in the direction of the dragon god's incarnation. A few strands of Jiamu Qi are not enough. I am helping him."
