Dugu Yan fumbled with the interface.
[Ding! Group livestream activated!]
The screen shifted.
Every group member's vision was instantly pulled into that dim secret chamber.
[World's Number One Princess: Here, here! Selling sunflower seeds and drinks from the front row! I can finally see Brother Yifei in person! So excited!]
[Is Jade Not Jade: Nice work, little Yanzi! Move the camera closer so I can get a good look at the handsome guy's breathtaking face!]
Liu Erlong's messages were as wild as ever.
[Bunny Is So Cute: What kind of Martial Soul will Brother Yifei awaken? I'm so excited!]
[Ghost Cat: ... (silently watching, clenching her little fists)]
Spirit Hall's Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong coldly waved away the attendants around her.
She stared intently at the calm-looking man on the screen.
There was no fluctuation of Soul Power.
He looked like an Ordinary Person with no threat whatsoever.
"I'd like to see whether this so-called 'no Martial Soul' of yours is real or not."
At the other end, Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Qian Renxue lightly tapped her fingers against the table, her golden pupils narrowing.
"Begin. Let me see what an expert from another world is truly capable of."
At the center of the secret chamber.
Li Yifei looked at the azure crystal ball before him.
Dugu Bo stood beside him with his hands behind his back. Though his expression held respect, he still retained a little of a powerful man's pride.
"Sir, this is a specially made awakening orb from Spirit Hall. It can measure up to innate Rank 20 Soul Power, so it should be enough—"
Before he could finish.
Li Yifei raised his hand.
The instant his palm touched the icy sphere.
Boom!
There was no need for any Soul Power to guide it.
Inside that crystal ball, said to be indestructible, a piercing wail suddenly erupted!
Crack!
They were not cracks.
It was collapse.
The dazzling golden light did not even have time to fully bloom before an even more tyrannical power burst it apart from within.
Bang—!
Crystal fragments exploded outward like rain.
Dugu Bo's once-composed old face instantly froze, his eyes nearly popping from their sockets.
It exploded?
Before even the Soul Power radiance could stabilize, it had been blown apart by the force inside?
This was not awakening a Martial Soul.
It was like pouring an entire river into a glass cup!
The crystal dust filling the air did not fall.
It was caught by a sudden gravitational force, hovering in midair and trembling violently.
Behind Li Yifei, the once-stable spatial structure began to collapse.
There were no flashy visual effects.
No brilliant colors.
There was only pure, absolute—black.
A Singularity the size of a needlepoint tore through the fragile spatial barrier of Douluo Continent out of thin air.
It rotated.
Light was swallowed.
Sound was strangled.
Even everyone's gazes were mercilessly dragged in the moment they touched that black dot, reduced to nothingness.
The entire secret chamber fell into absolute silence and darkness.
Dugu Bo's kneecaps let out a cracking sound under unbearable strain.
Within him, the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Martial Soul—that fierce, top-tier beast Martial Soul—curled into a ball and trembled frantically toward the black dot, conveying an emotion called "submission."
This was absolute suppression at the level of life itself!
This was the gaze of the apex predator upon the food chain!
In the Livestream Room, the comments went completely silent for five whole seconds.
[Little Ice Cube: Wh... what is that? A black sun?]
Shui Bing'er's worldview suffered an unprecedented impact.
[World's Number One Princess: No... it's not a sun! Look, the light! All the light is being sucked in! Th... this isn't scientific!]
For the first time, Ning Rongrong, a genius of the support system, felt that her brain was not enough.
[World's Number One Princess: Th-the light is gone? This isn't scientific! What kind of Martial Soul is that?!]
[Ghost Cat: It's not a Martial Soul... It feels more like... death itself.]
Within Spirit Hall.
The scepter in Bibi Dong's hand slipped down with a clang.
The Rakshasa God's divine sense she had always been proud of actually showed a trace of retreat the instant it saw that black dot through the screen!
"Space... He is directly interfering with Space Law! This is not a Martial Soul. It is the manifestation of the 'Dao' itself!"
Qian Renxue abruptly rose to her feet, knocking over the chair behind her.
She stared fixedly at the screen, her nails digging into her palms.
The Angel God she had inherited also involved the laws of light and fire.
Yet before that all-devouring darkness, even light was merely food!
Li Yifei felt the all-consuming gravitational force behind him and understood.
"The Eye of Guixu... A spatial Martial Soul in the form of a black hole. That is rather fitting."
However, before everyone could recover from the first Martial Soul's world-destroying shock.
Another change arose!
Beside the black hole known as the [Eye of Guixu], the void shook again.
It was a massive and exquisite Hourglass Dial, formed from an unknown crystal. What flowed inside was not sand, but dazzling stardust condensed from time itself.
The instant it appeared.
The dust drifting through the secret chamber froze.
The cold sweat sliding down Dugu Bo's face stopped in midair.
Dugu Yan's horrified open mouth remained in its original shape, and even the trembling of her eyelashes ceased.
Even the rotating Eye of Guixu paused for an instant!
Everything stood still.
Only the dial gently turned by one notch.
Click.
The crisp sound of machinery rang directly within everyone's soul.
The next moment.
An unbelievable scene unfolded.
The shattered crystal dust on the ground flew backward.
The broken pieces fitted back together.
The exploded golden light withdrew inside.
In the span of a single breath.
The crystal ball that had been reduced to pieces returned intact to Li Yifei's hand.
As if the explosion just now had merely been everyone's hallucination.
Time Reversal!
The Chat Group that had been flooded with messages moments ago was now completely empty, without even a punctuation mark.
Everyone's worldview had been shattered by this scene that overturned all common sense.
"I... damn!"
Someone, no one knew who, cursed in the Group Chat.
The entire Chat Group went completely insane!
[Is Jade Not Jade: Tw... Twin Martial Souls?!]
[Bunny Is So Cute: Oh my god! A second one! Another one! What is that clock?!]
[World's Number One Princess: Reversal... Time Reversal?! I just saw the crystal ball restore itself! I'm not dreaming, am I?! Someone slap me!]
His left hand held space, devouring all things.
His right hand grasped time, reversing cause and effect.
Thud!
A dull sound broke the dead silence.
It was not that Dugu Bo wanted to kneel.
His legs simply no longer belonged to him.
This Titled Douluo, who had roamed the continent for decades, was now sprawled on the ground, his forehead pressed tightly against the cold stone tiles, his entire body shaking like a sieve.
Cold sweat instantly soaked through his gray robe.
He did not even dare raise his head to look at those two phantoms.
"Space... time..."
"Two supreme laws... Twin God-tier Martial Souls..."
Dugu Bo's voice was hoarse and broken, filled with sobbing and madness.
"Heavens..."
"This old man... has seen a true god today!"
In Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong slumped onto the Pope's Throne, every ounce of strength drained from her body.
She thought of the Twin Martial Souls she had always been proud of, and of the endless torment and pain she had endured for the Rakshasa God Trial.
Yet all of it seemed so laughable, so insignificant before this man's "Twin Gods of Time and Space."
