[The Sky Screen shifted.]
[Yu Xiaotian remained calm, as if the pressure around him had no effect on him.]
[He slowly raised his right hand, and with a thought—]
["First soul skill—Devour Heaven Eat Earth."]
[With a low shout, the Purple Soul Ring lit up!]
[Three-Eyed Demon slightly opened its mouth and gently inhaled toward the Devouring Dragon's corpse.]
[It swallowed the Devouring Dragon in one gulp.]
[Yu Xiaotian's Soul Power rapidly refilled at an astonishing speed.]
[At the same time, Bloodline Power gathered into a stream and flowed into Yu Xiaotian's body.]
[Not only that, Three-Eyed Demon beside him gave a cheerful cry, and its body visibly became rounder.]
["That's it?" An elder could not help muttering.]
["It devours flesh to restore Soul Power? It doesn't seem as impressive as imagined."]
["It may be practical, but our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is the strongest assault-type clan in the world!]
["Instead of pursuing extreme explosive power and destructive force with his first soul skill, he chose an eating skill?"]
["Three-Eyed Demon already has the trait of evolving by consuming the flesh of high-level soul beasts.]
["This Soul Skill merely improves its eating efficiency. At its core, isn't it just a cultivation support skill?"]
["Absorbing a thousand-year soul ring beyond his level for this skill is far too poor a trade-off. He's practically gambling with his life!"]
[Even Yu Yuanzhen was somewhat stunned. He opened his mouth, wanting to defend Yu Xiaotian, but swallowed the words before they came out.]
[After all, to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which revered raw violence—]
[A first soul skill without offensive power was like a tiger without teeth. It always felt like it lacked some dominance!]
Black World.
The crowd instantly erupted, utterly dumbfounded:
"Pfft, so that was all?"
"You scared me to death. I thought it was some world-destroying ultimate move, but it turned out to be an advanced eating skill."
"It's stronger than farting, sure, but not by much. Yu Xiaogang killed people by collapsing them to death, while this Yu Xiaotian is a starving ghost reborn?"
[On the Sky Screen.]
[Yu Xiaotian did not rush to explain himself.]
["Elders, do you seem disappointed?"]
[He slowly turned around. He did not look at anyone, instead fixing his gaze on a massive boulder a hundred meters away.]
[The boulder had endured wind and frost, and was as hard as refined iron.]
["Devour Heaven Eat Earth devours the heavens and consumes the earth. How could it be limited to mere flesh?"]
["Destroy!"]
[After absorbing the first soul ring, Three-Eyed Demon had already undergone an astonishing transformation from its original comical pig-like appearance.]
[It now looked more like a chubby young dragon and could even unleash deafening dragon roars!]
[Before that enormous boulder, an ink-black energy vortex suddenly appeared out of thin air!]
[Rumble!]
[The house-sized boulder did not shatter or explode upon touching the vortex. Instead—it vanished!]
[It was forcibly ground into powder by that terrifying vortex, then swallowed in a single gulp!]
[The entire place fell deathly silent.]
[The elders who had been muttering moments ago now had eyes so wide they nearly popped out, their mouths large enough to fit an egg.]
["This is an offensive Soul Skill?!"]
[An elder shouted in a trembling voice, "It annihilated such a huge boulder directly? What kind of destructive power is that?!"]
[Yu Yuanzhen sharply inhaled, trembling with excitement.]
["Dual effects! It actually has dual effects!"]
["It can devour all things to aid cultivation and increase cultivation speed severalfold."]
["And it can actively release a devouring vortex to shred all enemies!"]
["It can sustain battle and kill enemies!"]
["This is practically a divine skill! A divine skill!"]
["How is this a first soul skill? Even a Fourth or Fifth Soul Skill might not possess such power!"]
[The many elders were numb with shock!]
[In their eyes, if they could find another Devouring Dragon, they would likely be tempted as well!]
[Yu Xiaotian slowly recalled his martial soul, and the black vortex dissipated in the air.]
[There was not much pride on his face.]
[Yet as he sensed the strike from moments ago, his heart churned violently.]
[That was not merely an act of energy plunder. At the instant the vortex formed, he had clearly felt a trace of spatial distortion.]
["Devour Heaven Eat Earth, the Devouring Dragon's talent, is not merely about eating."]
["Its essence is the domineering seizure of matter within space."]
["It can even swallow an enemy's Soul Skills, domains, and space itself in a single gulp!"]
["If I can further develop this Soul Skill and comprehend the laws of space within it, perhaps this move will truly be capable of devouring heaven in the future!"]
[While others were still cheering over the Soul Skill's power, Yu Xiaotian had already seen the threads of spatial laws.]
The audiences of both the Black and White Worlds completely erupted.
The reversal came too quickly and too fiercely.
It directly slapped the faces of those who had mocked him moments ago.
"Holy shit! Who said the trade-off was poor just now? Come out here!"
"This is a first soul skill? This power would not be excessive even for a Fourth Soul Skill!"
"That black-hole-like vortex is terrifying!"
"It can fight, devour people, restore Soul Power, and even assist cultivation?"
"Is he even human?!"
White World.
Bibi Dong looked at the spirited young man beside her, her eyes filled with undisguisable love and admiration.
She gently leaned against Yu Xiaotian.
Her voice was so gentle it seemed to drip with tenderness:
"Xiaotian, so you were this incredible even when you were young."
"Devouring Dragon. Such vision, such boldness—truly no one can compare."
Yu Xiaotian casually stroked her hair and said affectionately:
"As long as it's to protect you, I'd dare devour even stronger soul beasts."
"Even if it's a God in the heavens, if one dares stand in my way, I'll swallow it for you to see."
White Xiaogang rolled his eyes beside them and dramatically clutched his chest.
"Big Brother, enough! I'm not eating any more of this lovey-dovey nonsense!"
Yu Xiaotian answered seriously:
"What lovey-dovey nonsense? This is dragon food."
Bibi Dong burst into laughter, breathtakingly beautiful.
Black World.
Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Xiao abruptly rose to his feet!
As the Sect Master of the world's number one sect, what spectacle had Tang Xiao not seen?
The Clear Sky Hammer emphasized overwhelming force, and he had long witnessed the limits of pure power.
But now, as he watched the black vortex casually created by that seven-year-old child on the Sky Screen—
Tang Xiao was dumbfounded!
It was unimaginable.
One had to know that when cultivated to the extreme, the Clear Sky Hammer could indeed shatter space through pure force.
Yet even he had not reached such a realm!
"Is this power something a seven-year-old child can wield?!"
The originally proud Clear Sky Sect elders also fell utterly silent.
They looked at one another.
If the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan of that world possessed such a monster—
Could the Clear Sky Sect still firmly hold onto its position as the world's number one?
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong, seated high upon the Pope's throne, fixed her gaze tightly on the Sky Screen.
Unlike the others' simple shock, Bibi Dong had clearly understood more.
Her mind raced as countless fragmented clues connected in that instant.
"Devouring... space... compression..."
Bibi Dong murmured to herself.
She recalled the scattered hints that had briefly appeared on the Sky Screen about Yu Xiaotian's future.
"Three Soul Cores"!
"So that's how it is. No wonder he could condense three Soul Cores in the future. No wonder he could break through the barrier of a Limit Douluo!"
Bibi Dong suddenly stood up:
"One of Yu Xiaotian's three Soul Cores must absolutely be a space-attributed Soul Core!"
"The seed he planted with his first soul ring even laid the foundation for his future Core of Space!"
"Was this coincidence and chance, or had it all been planned?"
Such vision and such planning made Bibi Dong's scalp tingle.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, council hall.
Ning Fengzhi's hand holding his teacup froze in midair.
Although he was only rank seventy-nine, he possessed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's extraordinary discernment.
He could not understand the specific laws, but he could see potential.
"This Soul Skill..."
Ning Fengzhi's voice drifted slightly:
"If it grows stronger, does that mean any defense before him will be no different from nothing?"
Beside him—
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them.
"Fengzhi, you only saw its power, but not its essence."
Chen Xin took a deep breath, his tone carrying a trace of envy:
"That is the power of space!"
"Normally, only Super Douluos above rank ninety-five can barely touch the surface of spatial laws."
Seven years old, space, devouring.
Those three phrases combined.
Before Yu Xiaotian—
The talent Chen Xin had always been proud of seemed ordinary.
Shrek Academy.
Zhu Zhuqing's cold gaze swept over Dai Mubai before settling on Yu Xiaotian on the Sky Screen, a glimmer of light flashing through her eyes.
"Faced with the same hardship, Dai Mubai chose to flee to Suotuo City and drown himself in decadence."
"Yet Yu Xiaotian was already using every resource available to become stronger at the age of seven."
"If I could be like him too, no longer bound by fate and able to use every bit of resources..."
Her desire to grow stronger became even more intense.
At the same time, she greatly admired Yu Xiaotian.
Dai Mubai looked at the domineering figure on the Sky Screen.
Then he looked at the White Tiger Vajra Transformation he had always been proud of.
He could not help feeling deep shame.
Dai Mubai clenched his fists:
"Is this the gap between me and the strong?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes shone even brighter.
As a support-type Soul Master, the people she admired most were powerful individuals who possessed absolute protective strength.
"So cool! This is the bearing the strongest person on the continent should have!"
"Both domineering and clever, unlike that Master, who only wears a deadpan face and loses his temper all day."
Yet the one with the most complicated emotions among everyone was Tang San.
