Evil Soul Beasts
······································
On Douluo Star, the celestial phenomena suddenly changed.
Even after being weakened through layers of attacks, the aftershocks of the Five Great God Kings' expedition to the abyss and their breaching of the boundary wall still stirred up towering waves on Douluo Star, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.
The entire planet was trembling slightly and uncontrollably; it was not an earthquake, but rather a fluctuation originating from the level of spatial rules.
Above the heavens, a magnificent yet chilling phenomenon appeared in broad daylight: crimson sword light and destructive black flames...
Even across vast distances, the terrifying pressure caused all living beings—humans and Soul Beast alike—to tremble and feel fear from the very depths of their souls.
Even powerful figures at the Titled Douluo level had solemn expressions, gazing up at the sky, their hearts filled with fear of the unknown upheaval.
·················
In the Spirit Hall Empire, amidst a high-speed golden streak of light.
Qian Renxue, who was rushing to Star Luo City at full speed, naturally also witnessed this earth-shattering change.
Six wings shimmered with light behind her as she steadied herself and gazed at the strange phenomenon in the sky, a sharp glint flashing in her purple eyes.
"This strange phenomenon must be related to that 'mysterious person' who rescued Tang San and is shrouded in mystery!" She connected the two things almost instantly.
This speculation intensified Qian Renxue's sense of urgency.
Although she had already reported Tang San's appearance and the presence and anomalies of the mysterious person to her father, Qian Xunji, through the highest-level encrypted Communication Soul Tool, she still insisted on giving a detailed report in person to avoid missing any subtle clues.
··································
Elsewhere, in Ning Rongrong's convoy, which had just survived an attack.
Compared to the general panic, Ning Rongrong's expression was much calmer inside the heavily guarded carriage, even showing a hint of understanding.
Ning Rongrong vaguely guessed that the mysterious person came from the abyss, but there was no fear in her eyes, only an extraordinary calmness.
abyss?
They might be feared hunters in ordinary planes, but this is Douluo Star!
It is one of the core planes protected by the Douluo God Realm, which has Five Great God Kings and countless god-level powerhouses!
To attempt an invasion at a time like this is tantamount to suicide.
However, she perfectly concealed this insight and composure.
She blinked gently, and when she looked up again, she had returned to her usual demeanor, a young lady who seemed slightly shaken and in need of protection.
She subtly shifted her body, moving closer to the white-clad figure beside her— Li Bai.
The powerful aura emanating from the white-robed swordsman made her feel exceptionally at ease.
·························
In Spirit City
In the Worship Hall, beneath the enormous dome, the enshrined figures who usually remained in seclusion or guarded various regions gathered together in a rare display. Each of them possessed the strength of Super Douluo of level ninety-five or higher, yet at this moment, they all gazed up at the increasingly terrifying and escalating strange phenomenon in the sky outside the hall.
They couldn't help but wonder what impact this strange phenomenon would have on Douluo Star.
The Great Enshrined, Qian Daoliu, who sat at the head of the table, remained silent. His golden eyes gazed at the interwoven divine light in the sky, and he silently prayed, asking the Angel God for an answer.
However, as with every attempt in the past few decades, especially in recent years, it has been a complete failure, receiving no response.
Qian Daoliu's gaze swept across the entire room, and the murmurs gradually subsided.
"Order all departments of the Empire to enter a state of highest alert. Reassure the public and maintain order, but all strategic-level Soul Tool and defensive formations must immediately enter a state of readiness for activation..."
Chapter 313 The God of Evil Soul Beast
However, before Qian Daoliu could finish speaking, the divine light phenomena that had been intertwining and colliding in the sky fell silent for a moment, and then changed!
Above the sky, it was as if a container filled with filth and power had been shattered, and a vast, yet extremely pure, abyssal energy poured down from the broken void rift!
The scene is even more spectacular when viewed from the ground at a distance.
Countless black "meteors," some thick, some thin, dark in color yet brimming with vitality, trailed long flames as they ripped through the still-unsettled, magnificent sky, like billions of falling stars, crashing into every corner of Douluo Star and quickly merging into the mountains, rivers, forests, and even the air.
This energy itself carries the aura of ferocity, devouring, and destruction unique to the abyss.
However, the Douluo Plane this situation.
The dimensional will, which was not yet fully formed, desperately needed this energy to help it grow. At this moment, it was like a starving beast, not caring about the source or taste of this "food," and began to frantically absorb and transform this surging energy.
As Douluo Star absorbs this energy, the entire Douluo Star is undergoing astonishing changes.
Some rare mineral veins and precious herbs that were originally depleted due to over-exploitation have been revitalized, like rain after a long drought, and their quality has even improved.
The Douluo Plane's already quite stable boundary, protected by the Divine Realm, became even more solid and robust after absorbing this high-quality energy, thus enhancing the entire plane's defensive potential.
Of course, the most crucial and thought-provoking change for high-level experts is that the invisible restriction that had been hanging over the heads of all the peak experts has disappeared!
Due to the elevation of life levels in the Douluo Plane, the previously "full quota" of god positions, which could no longer accommodate the birth of new gods, has become vacant!
This change is most clearly and intensely felt by the heroes on Douluo Star.
Many of them, in terms of talent, comprehension, willpower, and exploration of their own path, had already reached the point where they were qualified to condense their own divine status.
What they lacked was never effort or talent, but "position"—the "original share" that the Douluo Plane could provide to support the birth of a new god had already been filled by predecessors, and the rules did not allow another one to squeeze in.
But now, that restriction has disappeared.
They could clearly sense that their long-held understanding of a certain rule had the potential to become tangible and authoritative.
If they can seize this unexpected opportunity, deeply understand it, and integrate their own paths, they will have the hope of condensing their own divine prototype within their bodies and embarking on their own path to godhood!
···········································
Just as the Abyssal Plane collapsed and merged into Douluo Star, in the more distant void of this star field, several enormous and majestic figures quietly emerged, silently watching this shocking scene.
Leading the group was none other than the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian. His pair of brilliant golden dragon eyes reflected the magnificent scene of the plane being shattered and devoured, and a trace of human-like confusion appeared on his huge dragon head.
"This... has the Plane Master this plane gone mad?" Di Tian's deep voice was filled with deep confusion. "Douluo Star has five God Kings, yet they dare to get so close, even actively connecting with it?"
The Fire Dragon King and the Ice Dragon King behind him, their enormous bodies emanating completely opposite yet equally intense and icy auras.
As the Fire Dragon King watched Douluo Star greedily absorb the Abyss's essence, a complex sense of reminiscence flashed in his crimson dragon eyes.
"Such a sight... it's been so long," the Fire Dragon King sighed nostalgically. "In the glorious era under His Majesty the Dragon God, the consolidation and expansion of planes was commonplace. But..."
He abruptly changed the subject, his tone now tinged with undisguised contempt, "Asura and Destroyer, after ruling the Douluo God Realm for so many years, it seems they haven't made the slightest progress. In these tens of thousands of years, the boundary of the Douluo God Realm hasn't expanded an inch."
The Ice Dragon King agreed, saying, "If the realm doesn't expand and the total amount of resources remains constant, the life levels of subordinate planes will find it difficult to fundamentally leap forward. The upper limit on the number of divine positions and their authority will naturally be locked. In other words..."
The Ice Dragon King's icy blue dragon eyes swept across the distant, dazzling barrier of the Divine Realm. "These gods, these ten thousand years, have nothing but been living off the legacy left by our race."
Upon hearing this, the void around the powerful Dragon Clan seemed to grow even colder.
Even for dragons, being wiped out and Dragon Clan is a terrible blow!
Di Tian remained silent, for this was the deepest pain and resentment in their hearts.
After the Dragon God Realm shattered, it broke into countless fragments of different sizes that scattered throughout the universe.
Di Tian and his group have searched for so long, but with little success; so far, they have only recovered the remains of the Wind Dragon King.
Seeing everything that originally belonged to the Dragon Clan now occupied by newcomers and left without any development, the emotions are indescribable.
······················
While the Dragon Clan watched and discussed the situation, the Five Great God Kings within the Douluo God Realm barrier naturally noticed this group of "uninvited guests."
When the divine senses of the Asura God and other god-kings swept across the void, they clearly "saw" the already solidified and formidable aura of First-Level God on Di Tian's body, as well as the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King, who should have perished completely but were now alive and well, coiled up beside him...
The good mood he had just felt, having easily defeated the Abyssal Sage King and even gained some benefits, vanished without a trace in an instant!
Instead, a rising sense of killing intent and apprehension prevailed!
"God of Evil Soul Beast!"
"... And there are even more God of Evil remnants of the Dragon Clan!"
·········································
The two gazed at each other from a distance.
The God of Destruction's purplish-black Destruction Divine Power surged, and the Asura God's scarlet eyes were also filled with murderous intent. Even the Life Goddess and the Godess of Kindness, who were always Goddess of Kindness and peace-loving, became vigilant and on guard.
For those who inherited the Dragon God's legacy (part of the plane, divine status, and control of the Divine Realm) to achieve the position of God King, the powerful and resurrected pure-blooded Dragon Clan, especially the Dragon King level beings, poses a threat far greater than that of an external, chaotic Abyssal Plane!
This touched upon the very foundations of their legitimacy to rule and stirred up memories of the Dragon Clan' past glory and power.
··········································
The silent standoff continues.
Di Tian's massive dragon body coiled slightly, his pressure as a peak First-Level God was like a bottomless dark vortex, yet it remained dormant.
He knew very well that although he had successfully crossed that threshold and achieved the First-Level God, he was still no match for the five god-kings within the barrier of the Divine Realm.
But the pride of the Dragon Clan prevented him from showing weakness.
Within the barrier of the Divine Realm, the Asura God's crimson eyes were fixed intently on Di Tian and the Ice and Fire Kings outside.
He was bound by the rules of the Divine Realm's central authority. As the pillar and greatest beneficiary of the Divine Realm's order, he could not easily leave the Divine Realm's barrier to launch attacks into the outer void.
This frustrating feeling of "seeing but not being able to hit" made his killing intent almost materialize into a tangible blood-red mist that churned around him.
What troubled him even more was the immense doubt.
"Ice Dragon King, Fire Dragon King... how exactly did you 'return'?" This question kept recurring in his mind.
The Divine Realm is not without means of resurrection, but most of these are applicable to mortals and low-ranking priests, and come at a high cost, resulting in the loss of all potential after resurrection.
And resurrect beings at the level of god-kings?
That requires not only massive resources, but also an understanding of the origin of the universe and the Death Law!
Even during the Dragon God Realm's heyday, when resources were abundant and laws were perfect, whether the "cost" required to resurrect a Dragon King could be gathered was still unknown.
Otherwise, the fall of that Dragon Clan back then wouldn't have directly driven the Dragon God mad and caused the collapse of the Dragon God Realm.
But now, the Ice Fire Dragon King has reappeared alive in the void!
Who was it? What method did they use? And what was their purpose?
The Asura God, accustomed to being in control of everything, felt a sense of loss of control.
