[The Heavenly Curtain's screen shifts]

[Yu Xiaotian's expression is calm, as if the surrounding pressure has no effect on him]

[He slowly raises his right hand, a thought crossing his mind]

["First Soul SkillDevour Heaven Eat Earth."]

[As he softly calls out, the purple Soul Ring lights up!]

[Three-Eyed Demon opens its mouth slightly and gently inhales towards the corpse of the Devouring Dragon]

[Completely swallowing the Devouring Dragon in one gulp]

[Yu Xiaotian's Soul Power is replenished at an astonishing speed]

[At the same time, Bloodline Power flows into Yu Xiaotian's body]

[Not only that, but Three-Eyed Demon beside him also lets out a joyful cry, its body visibly becoming rounder]

["Is that all?" an elder couldn't help but whisper]

["Devouring flesh and blood? Restoring Soul Power? It doesn't seem as powerful as I imagined?"]

["Although this is practical, we Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragons are the strongest offensive type in the world!"]

["The first Soul Skill doesn't pursue ultimate burst and destructive power, but instead a skill for devouring?"]

["Three-Eyed Demon itself has the characteristic of evolving by consuming the meat of high-level Soul Beasts."]

["This Soul Skill merely enhances its eating efficiency, but isn't it fundamentally a skill to aid cultivation?"]

["To absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring beyond one's level for this skill is too low in cost-effectiveness, it's like playing with your life!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen was also somewhat stunned. He opened his mouth, wanting to retort a few words, but swallowed them back]

[After all, for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family that values violence]

[A first Soul Skill without offensive power is like a tiger without teeth; it always feels a bit lacking in dominance!]

The dark world.

Exploded instantly, everyone was dumbfounded:

"Tch, after all that, it's just this?"

"Scared me to death, I thought it was some world-destroying ultimate move, but it turns out to be a high-level eating skill."

"Although it's better than farting, it's only slightly better. Was Yu Xiaogang reincarnated from a starving ghost, or is this Yu Xiaotian?"

[In the Heavenly Curtain's screen]

[Yu Xiaotian doesn't rush to explain]

["Esteemed elders, you seem disappointed?"]

[He slowly turns around, not looking at anyone, but fixing his gaze on a giant rock a hundred meters away]

[The rock has endured the wind and frost, its hardness comparable to fine iron]

["Devour Heaven Eat Earth, it devours the heavens and eats the earth, not just mere flesh and blood?"]

["Destroy it for me—Destroy!"]

[After absorbing the first Soul Ring, Three-Eyed Demon has undergone an astonishing transformation from its original comical pig-like appearance]

[It looks more like a slightly chubby young dragon, and can even let out earth-shattering dragon roars!]

[In front of that massive rock, a pitch-black energy vortex appears out of thin air!]

[Rumble!]

[The house-sized rock, the moment it touched the vortex, did not shatter or explode, but instead—vanished!]

[It was forcibly ground into powder by the terrifying vortex, and then swallowed in one gulp!]

[The entire place fell silent.]

[The elders who were just murmuring now have their eyeballs about to pop out, their mouths wide enough to fit an egg]

["This is an offensive Soul Skill?!"]

["An elder shouted with a trembling voice: "Annihilating such a large rock? What kind of destructive power is this?!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen gasped, trembling with excitement]

["Dual effect! It actually has a dual effect!"]

["It can devour all things to aid cultivation, increasing cultivation speed several times over"]

["And it can actively release a devouring vortex to annihilate all enemies!"]

["It can both nurture combat power and kill enemies!"]

["This is simply a divine skill! A divine skill!"]

["This is hardly the first Soul Skill, even the fourth or fifth Soul Skill might not possess such power!"]

[The many elders were stunned!]

In their eyes, if they could find another Devouring Dragon, they would probably be tempted too!

Yu Xiaotian slowly retracted his Martial Soul, the black vortex dissipating into the air.

There was no excessive pride on his face.

As he felt the attack just now, his heart was churning like a stormy sea.

It wasn't just the plundering of energy; the moment the vortex formed, he clearly felt a trace of spatial distortion.

"Devour Heaven Eat Earth, the Devouring Dragon's innate ability isn't just about eating."

"Its essence is to domineeringly plunder matter within space."

"It can even swallow enemies' Soul Skills, domains, and space in one bite!"

"If I can delve deeper into this Soul Skill and comprehend the spatial laws within, this move might truly be able to 'devour the heavens' in the future!"

While others were still cheering for the Soul Skill's power, Yu Xiaotian had already seen the threads of spatial rules.

The audience in the black and white worlds erupted completely.

The reversal came too quickly, too fiercely.

It directly slapped the faces of those who had mocked him earlier.

"Holy crap! Who said it was low cost-performance just now? Stand up!"

"This is the first Soul Skill? Its power wouldn't be out of place for a fourth Soul Skill!"

"That black hole-like vortex was terrifying!"

"It can attack, suck people in, restore Soul Power, and even aid cultivation?"

"Is this even human?!"

White World.

Bibi Dong looked at the spirited young man beside her, her eyes filled with unconcealed love and admiration.

She leaned gently against Yu Xiaotian.

Her voice was so tender it could drip water:

"Xiaotian, you were this amazing even when you were little."

"Devouring Dragon. This kind of insight, this kind of courage, is truly unmatched."

Yu Xiaotian casually stroked her hair, saying dotingly:

"As long as it's to protect you, I'll dare to devour any Soul Beast."

"Even if it's a god in the heavens, if they dare to stop me, I'll devour them for you to see."

Bai Xiaogang beside them rolled his eyes and dramatically clutched his chest:

"Brother, that's enough! I'm not eating this dog food anymore!"

Yu Xiaotian said with a serious expression:

"What dog food? This is dragon food."

Bibi Dong chuckled, her beauty breathtaking.

Black World.

Clear Sky Sect.

Tang Xiao abruptly stood up!

As the sect master of the number one sect in the world, what kind of scenes hadn't Tang Xiao seen?

The Clear Sky Hammer emphasized overcoming all with sheer force; he was accustomed to the extremes of power.

But at this moment, looking at the black vortex casually created by the seven-year-old child on the sky screen.

Tang Xiao was stunned!

Unbelievable.

One had to know that the Clear Sky Hammer, when cultivated to its peak, could indeed shatter space with pure strength.

But he hadn't even touched that realm!

"This is the power a seven-year-old child can wield?!"

The proud elders of the Clear Sky Sect were all silent at this moment.

They exchanged glances.

If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan in that world possessed such a monster.

Could the Clear Sky Sect still hold its title as the number one sect?

Martial Soul Hall.

Bibi Dong, seated high on the Pope's throne, stared intently at the scene on the sky screen.

Unlike the others' simple shock, Bibi Dong clearly understood more.

Her mind raced, countless fragmented clues connecting at this moment.

"Devour... space... compress..."

Bibi Dong murmured to herself.

She recalled fragments of Yu Xiaotian's future glimpsed on the celestial screen before.

"Three Soul Cores!"

"So that's it, no wonder he can condense three Soul Cores in the future, no wonder he can break through the barrier of Limit Douluo!"

Bibi Dong suddenly stood up:

"Among Yu Xiaotian's three Soul Cores, one must be a space-attribute Soul Core!"

"This seed he planted with his first Soul Ring even laid the foundation for his future Core of Space!"

"Is this by chance and coincidence, or is there another plan?"

This foresight, this planning, made Bibi Dong's scalp tingle.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Assembly Hall.

Ning Fengzhi's hand, holding a teacup, froze mid-air.

Though only level seventy-nine, he possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's powerful discernment.

He couldn't understand the specific laws, but he could understand potential.

"This Soul Skill..."

Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled slightly:

"If it grows, does it mean any defense is useless before him?"

And beside him.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.

"Fengzhi, you only see the power, not the essence."

Chen Xin took a deep breath, his tone tinged with envy:

"That's the power of space!"

"Usually, only Super Douluo above level ninety-five can barely touch the fringes of spatial laws."

Seven years old, space, devour.

These three phrases combined.

Before Yu Xiaotian.

His proud talent seemed to become mediocre.

Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing's icy gaze swept over Dai Mubai, then landed on Yu Xiaotian on the celestial screen, a flicker of brilliance in her eyes.

"Facing hardship, Dai Mubai chose to escape into Suotuo City for drunken oblivion."

"Whereas Yu Xiaotian, at seven years old, was already using every resource to grow stronger."

"If only I could be like him, unbound by fate, utilizing every bit of resource..."

Her desire for strength grew even more intense.

At the same time, she greatly admired Yu Xiaotian.

Dai Mubai looked at the imposing figure on the celestial screen.

Then he looked at his own proud White Tiger Vajra Transformation.

He couldn't help but feel a deep sense of shame.

Dai Mubai clenched his fist:

"Is this the gap between me and the strong?"

Ning Rongrong's eyes shone even brighter.

As a support Soul Master, she most admired powerhouses with absolute protective abilities.

"So cool! This is how the strongest on the continent should be!"

"Both imposing and intelligent, unlike that Master, who only walks around with a zombie face and throws tantrums."

And among those with the most complex emotions was Tang San.
