"He broke through ahead of schedule!"

The moment Jiang Heng arrived at the Crown Prince Mansion, his powerful spiritual power sensed the presence of an additional Super Douluo within.

If it had been an ordinary Super Douluo, Jiang Heng's current strength meant he would not have needed to take them seriously at all.

But this one was completely different.

The father of Soul Tools of the Sun Moon Empire, the master of the Sun Moon Empire's Offering HallKong Deming.

He was also the only person who had relied on technology to forge a Level 10 Soul Tool.

The only question was whether he had already forged his own Level 10 Soul Tool.

If he had, then combined with his rank-95 cultivation, his strength would already rival that of a Limit Douluo.

Moreover, under special circumstances, his Level 10 Life Soul Tool could even unleash god-level power.

Jiang Heng would rather clash head-on with Long Xiaoyao than become entangled with this man.

It was not that Kong Deming's combat power surpassed Long Xiaoyao's. Rather, his Life Soul Tool was simply too overpowered. It combined Space Imprisonment, defense, and attack, and could even open a separate space to imprison massive targets.

Once imprisoned, even if Jiang Heng revealed his true form, he would be unable to break free.

Though he knew there was danger, Jiang Heng still stepped into the Crown Prince Mansion without hesitation.

What he sought, naturally, was the technology behind the other man's Life Soul Tool.

Of course, he still had some means of protecting himself. After all, spiritual power that had already touched the threshold of Divine Sense was no joke.

"Are you the Crocodile God Douluo?"

The instant Jiang Heng entered the Crown Prince Mansion, Kong Deming appeared before him.

At first, Kong Deming had not wanted to bother with Xu Tianran's request for help.

The only things he cared about were research into Level 10 Soul Tools and the inheritance of the imperial bloodline. As for who became emperor, he did not care.

But Xu Tianran had simply offered too much.

Not only had Xu Tianran presented him with the core blueprints of the other Level-9 Soul Engineers to help him perfect his Level 10 Life Soul Tool, but he had also helped him travel to the Ocean to hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, merely so he could obtain a compatible Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone and advance his cultivation further.

That was how he successfully entered the realm of rank-95 Super Douluo and developed a Level 10 Soul Tool in one stroke.

Some time ago, if he had not been at the most critical stage of crafting his Life Soul Tool, how could he have allowed those two Title Douluo from Sea God Island to run wild?

Even if both opponents were rank-98 Title Douluo and possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, he would not have feared them!

Now that he had not only broken through to become a rank-95 Super Douluo but had also become a Level-10 Soul Engineer, he naturally had to help Xu Tianran test what this suddenly appeared Crocodile God Douluo's true strength was—and what he was plotting.

"Kong Deming, father of Soul Tools of the Sun Moon Empire. I have been waiting—waiting for you to successfully forge a Level 10 Soul Tool. You truly have not disappointed me!"

Facing Kong Deming, who stood in his way, Jiang Heng once again assumed an unfathomable air.

"What exactly do you want?"

Kong Deming's expression remained unchanged on the surface, but towering waves had already risen in his heart.

The fact that he had created the unprecedented Level 10 Soul Tool was known only to himself. Even Xu Tianran merely suspected it.

Who exactly was this person before him?

How could he expose it in a single sentence?

"My goal?"

"Very simple. Just two words: slay gods!"

Jiang Heng calmly uttered those two words. The moment they were spoken, the pupils of both Kong Deming and Xu Tianran, standing not far away, suddenly contracted. For a moment, neither dared believe their ears.

Was such a thing even possible?

On Douluo Continent, the lifelong goal of ninety-nine percent of Soul Masters was to become Title Douluo. Only a tiny handful of peak geniuses ever dreamed of becoming Deities.

Yet this man did not seek to become a god, nor did he seek to create gods. He sought to slay them.

"What? The great father of Soul Tools does not even possess such ambition?"

"If that is the case, then I can only say that you have greatly disappointed me!"

Jiang Heng lightly shook his head and sighed, his gaze toward Kong Deming filled with disappointment.

That posture, that bearing—he always gave people the sense that he was shrouded in mystery, impossible to see through from any angle.

Most importantly, while they were still thinking about becoming Title Douluo, about advancing further, about fighting over so-called resources, power, and status, this man had already cast his gaze upon the Deities beyond the highest heavens.

Compared to him, they realized that their own goals seemed utterly pathetic.

In terms of vision alone, they had been completely crushed.

"How can you prove that you possess such ability?"

Kong Deming had lived for a hundred and fifty years and weathered countless storms. How could he possibly be fooled by just a few words?

"What do you think?"

As he spoke, Jiang Heng directly released his powerful spiritual power and pressed down.

Like an Abyss, like a mountain range, it made one feel despair the instant one sensed it, leaving no will to resist.

Kong Deming hurriedly activated his Life Soul Tool to block it, and only then did he feel somewhat better.

As for Xu Tianran, a confrontation of this level was simply beyond his ability to participate in.

"Such spiritual power... what realm is this?"

After steadying his mind, Kong Deming believed a few more of the man's words.

This was not spiritual power a Title Douluo should possess. It far surpassed even a so-called Limit Douluo.

Perhaps this man truly possessed the ambition to slay gods. As for whether he had the ability, that required further investigation.

"I barely count as a Quasi-Demi-God!"

Jiang Heng spoke leisurely.

Naturally, he was deceiving Kong Deming and Xu Tianran.

With his current strength, he was only comparable to a rank-97 Title Douluo. If he fought desperately and used every means at his disposal, he could rival a rank-98 Title Douluo.

As for a Limit Douluo, the odds were one to nine.

In a direct battle, he could avoid defeat for one minute. The other nine minutes would be spent running away.

Even his spiritual power had not reached the realm of a Quasi-Demi-God.

But it was more than enough to fool the two men before him.

That was also the main reason he had seized the initiative at every turn, never giving Kong Deming an opportunity to test him through combat.

"Beyond a Limit Douluo?"

"I am very interested in your God-Slaughtering Plan. Is there anything I can help with?"

Kong Deming believed him.

He was deeply tempted!

The Level 10 Soul Tool was complete, and his long-cherished wish had been fulfilled.

If he could advance further in this life and participate in a plan to slay gods, merely thinking about it was enough to excite him.

Success or failure did not matter. As long as he took that step, his blood would boil.

Xu Tianran believed him as well.

But he knew that such a matter was not something he could participate in at his current level, so he could only wait quietly at the side for the final outcome.

"I need the technology behind your Life Soul Tool. In exchange, I will give you the technology to advance further and forge a Level 11 Soul Tool."

Jiang Heng spoke again.

Next, he would begin aiding the enemy.

He was not worried about things spiraling out of control. After all, Di Tian stood behind him.

It was about time he forced that so-called Beast God to come out and do some work.

Jiang Heng had been running around for the Soul Beast clan. He could not let Di Tian, the so-called Beast God, remain nothing more than an ornamental figure, could he?
