The Marvels of the Creation Divine Ring

"Great Enshrined One, if this is true, then Big Dipper Academy and Lu Xiao... have already become the greatest variables and obstacles in Spirit Hall's plans!"

Thousand Jun Douluo said gravely, his face filled with worry.

Qian Daoliu fell silent for a long while before finally letting out a long sigh.

"Put the plan on hold for now. Before we truly understand the details of Big Dipper Academy, we must not act rashly."

"Send out the order. Increase surveillance around the outskirts of Sunset Forest, but under no circumstances are anyone allowed to venture in and provoke them!"

"Everything can wait until Xue'er completes the Angel God Trial."

An invisible pressure weighed heavily upon every enshrined one's heart.

They realized that the structure of Douluo Continent—

because of that Sky Screen, because of the sudden emergence of Big Dipper Academy—

had already undergone earth-shaking, irreversible changes.

Deep within the City of Slaughter, that hall of bloodshed and sin.

Upon the throne, the figure enveloped in endless killing aura—

at the instant the Lightning Tribulation appeared and vanished, a brief flicker of struggle and clarity flashed deep within those crimson pupils.

A low, slightly hoarse voice seemed to pierce through the confusion of countless ages as it rang within his consciousness. "The aura... of a god."

But that sliver of clarity was like a dying candle in the wind, fleeting as an instant.

The next moment, even more violent and viscous blood-red killing intent surged forth like a tide.

It dyed those eyes crimson once more, pure red without the slightest trace of reason.

"Kill... kill... kill!!!"

A mad roar resounded through the great hall.

The terrifying Slaughter Domain spread uncontrollably, making the entire City of Slaughter tremble.

That faint spark of humanity that had just surfaced was once again completely devoured and drowned by the endless Will of Slaughter.

Beneath the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.

The Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena, gently moved her massive Dragon Body. Her amethyst-like dragon eyes gazed toward Sunset Forest, filled with complicated, indescribable emotions.

"The aura of creation... though faint, its essence is so lofty. It actually appeared within a human..."

She murmured softly, deep worry flashing through her dragon eyes.

Beside her, Di Tian and the other Beasts had also sensed the distant fluctuation. They lowered their heads one after another, expressing reverence and unease toward that supreme power.

Sea God Island.

Bo Saixi stood atop Sea God Mountain, her sea-blue hair dancing in the wind.

She too sensed the terrifying fluctuation coming from the continent, and her beautiful face was filled with solemnity.

"A power surpassing the level of a Limit Douluo... when did such an existence emerge on the continent?"

She murmured softly, her gaze seeming to pierce through the endless ocean.

"Lord Sea God, have you seen all of this as well?"

"This sudden variable... will it be fortune or disaster for your inheritance?"

Deep within Sunset Forest, Big Dipper Academy.

The strange phenomenon in the sky completely dissipated, and the soul-shuddering pressure and aura of destruction receded like the tide.

Lu Xiao stood motionless where he was, his eyes closed.

His consciousness sank completely into his body.

He sensed the new changes brought by the Creation Divine Ring Martial Soul after its first seal had been lifted.

A vast stream of information emerged in his mind like trickling water.

"So that's how it is..."

Lu Xiao muttered, the corners of his lips rising uncontrollably.

He truly had not expected that after the Creation Divine Ring lifted its first seal, what it unlocked was not some direct offensive or Defensive Soul Skill.

Instead, it was a rule-level ability of support and weakening—Soul Ring Mimicry and Deprivation.

As the name implied, this Creation Divine Ring could actually be used as an additional Soul Ring!

What did that mean?

It meant that if a Soul Saint-level powerhouse was fortunate enough to gain his recognition and have this Creation Divine Ring added to them—

their Soul Power Level would instantly soar by ten levels, allowing them to leap directly into the rank of Soul Douluo.

This was not a simple infusion of Soul Power, but a rule-based blessing derived from the Origin of Creation. It had no side effects whatsoever, and its foundation was incomparably stable.

Even more outrageous was that the Soul Ring mimicked by the Creation Divine Ring did not grant a fixed Soul Skill.

Instead, it would automatically evolve according to the recipient's Martial Soul characteristics, Soul Power attributes, and even their subconscious desires, producing the most suitable Eighth Soul Skill—the one that could best bring out their potential.

This meant that the recipient would not only gain the Soul Power Level and physical constitution of a Soul Douluo.

They could also immediately master a powerful Eighth Soul Skill, instantly forming complete combat strength!

And the targets of this ability were not limited to himself or his allies.

It could also be used on enemies!

However, the effect would be the exact opposite.

Imagine a Titled Douluo arrogantly unleashing their Ninth Soul Skill, prepared to destroy heaven and earth.

Lu Xiao merely needed a thought to apply the Creation Divine Ring's Deprivation effect to them.

Then, that Titled Douluo's Ninth Soul Ring would instantly dim, while the corresponding Ninth Soul Skill would be completely erased and sealed, unable to be used in the slightest.

At the same time, their Soul Power Level would be forcibly reduced by ten levels, knocking them straight down from Titled Douluo to Soul Douluo.

One side rose while the other fell—this was practically a Divine Skill capable of overturning the entire battle!

Moreover, this terrifying effect was not limited merely to Soul Masters below the God-level.

Even true God-level powerhouses could still be affected by the Deprivation power of the Creation Divine Ring, so long as their power system had not completely transcended the fundamental rules of Douluo Continent, such as Soul Rings and Soul Skills.

"Before, I thought that with my many trump cards, I had a great chance of defeating God-level powerhouses in battle..."

Lu Xiao's heart surged with emotion, brilliance flashing in his eyes.

"Now that I possess the Creation Divine Ring's powers of 'Addition' and 'Deprivation,' even against some weaker God-level powerhouses, I am completely confident that I can keep them here for good!"

How could this not make his heart race?

And this was only the ability gained after lifting the first seal.

Just this one ability was already so heaven-defying, involving the rule-level powers of granting and deprivation.

"As expected of the Creation Divine Ring Martial Soul!"

Lu Xiao could not help sighing again. "No wonder it possesses nine seals. Merely lifting the first one has already brought forth such absurdly powerful strength."

"I wonder what earth-shaking might will be displayed once the remaining eight seals are lifted one by one?"

He was filled with even greater anticipation and curiosity for the future.

Just as Lu Xiao finished processing the information about the Creation Divine Ring, the stifling atmosphere around them, frozen by the Lightning Tribulation and the divine ring's aura, finally eased.

Only then did Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan dare to take deep breaths.

Lingering fear and pallor still remained on their pretty faces.

The heaven-like pressure from earlier, along with the Sword Intent released by Teacher Li Bai that seemed capable of cleaving apart the sky, had made them keenly feel their own insignificance.

Had Teacher Li Bai not promptly shielded them with his immense Soul Power, even the aftershocks alone would have been enough to seriously injure them.

"D-Dean... you, you really kept us in the dark!"

Dugu Yan patted her heaving chest, looking at Lu Xiao with lingering fear. Her tone carried a trace of frightened reproach and disbelief.
