Battle Against Xiong Jun

In this era, let alone Soul Beasts becoming gods, even human Soul Masters had no possibility of becoming gods.

After all, the God Realm was already saturated.

Even if a god wished to pass down a God Position, with so many worlds beneath the God Realm, why would they specifically choose Douluo Planet?

And go through the trouble of dealing with Tang San?

To a certain extent, the path to godhood had already been cut off.

Yet Jiang Heng knew that two God Positions still had no inheritors.

The Angel God Position and the Rakshasa God Position.

The previous Angel God and Rakshasa God had fallen before they could ascend to the God Realm, and their God Positions had returned to the God Realm, left suspended and unclaimed.

According to Jiang Heng's estimation, given Tang San's position as a newcomer to the God Realm, he needed to establish his public image and would not tamper with these two God Positions openly.

As for whether he might do something in secret, that was hard to say.

Besides, even with the talent, strength, and foundation, there was no way to find these two God Positions under Tang San's watchful eye, activate them, and obtain their inheritances.

However, this did not mean there was no opportunity at all!

As long as they could find the Rakshasa Secret Realm and the Angel Temple, then in the brief period before the God Realm was swept away by the chaotic currents of the void, they would have a chance to inherit the God Positions, become gods, and remain on Douluo Continent.

There would only be one chance, and it would be extremely brief.

Before that, they would also need to ensure they could find the God Positions and activate their inheritances.

With Ye Guyi's lifespan, she naturally would not live until that time, but Starlight could.

What he sought was not merely the Angel Godhead Fragment within Ye Guyi's martial soul, but everything about her.

Of course, this was merely Jiang Heng's wishful thinking. Whether it would succeed was still uncertain.

Even if there was only a sliver of hope, he would do everything in his power to try and change the situation.

After the contract was completed, Jiang Heng had Ye Guyi continue cultivating for the time being. Once the timing was right, he would help her hunt a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring. Then he returned to the Star Dou Great Forest with Starlight.

One reason for returning to the Star Dou Great Forest was to settle Starlight somewhere safe.

The other was to seek helpers for his upcoming plans.

He returned to his clan, inspected the growth and improved strength of its members, and, after confirming that nothing was amiss, settled Starlight in the Underground Palace and entrusted her to Jiang Cai.

Only then did he go seek assistance.

The most difficult part was that this operation and plan had to be kept hidden from Di Tian.

Otherwise, he would not be the one reaping the rewards in the end.

When he returned to the Lake of Life and saw the many Fierce Beasts enthusiastically working on Soul Tools, Jiang Heng was briefly struck by an absurd feeling.

As they learned about, studied, and forged Soul Tools, these Fierce Beasts seemed to have become enlightened. From the most ancient barbaric age, they were progressing toward the Stone Age.

"Sheng Long, you finally came back?"

Upon seeing Jiang Heng, Xiong Jun was the first to speak.

However, Xiong Jun's tone was filled with fury.

The next instant, he revealed his massive true form and charged straight at Jiang Heng with world-destroying power.

By the look of it, he intended to fight with everything he had.

Di Tian merely watched quietly from the side without intervening to stop him.

He also knew that Xiong Jun had been stifled to the point of madness lately. It was time to let him vent.

He could also use this opportunity to teach Sheng Long some battle techniques unique to the Dragon Clan after he was defeated.

After all, Sheng Long had made such great contributions to the Soul Beast race. He deserved to be rewarded.

"If you want to fight, then I'll give you a proper fight!"

Seeing Xiong Jun roaring as he charged directly at him, a sharp gleam appeared in Jiang Heng's eyes.

To be honest, he had never truly fought a full-scale battle without holding back until now.

He could use this chance to test his own strength as well.

"Roar!"

With an angry roar, Jiang Heng's hundred-meter true form emerged.

Judging from their sizes alone, he was far taller than Xiong Jun, and the heavy pressure he radiated completely overwhelmed Xiong Jun in sheer presence.

Yet all the Fierce Beasts present knew that this battle would be an absolute crushing victory for Xiong Jun.

Leaving aside cultivation age, Xiong Jun's destructive power, infinitely close to Ultimate Gold, was not something that could be easily resisted.

In terms of cultivation age, Xiong Jun ranked only fourth in the Star Dou Great Forest, but his combat strength was second only to Di Tian's.

Even King of Ten Thousand Monsters, whose cultivation had already reached five hundred and thirty thousand years, could only barely contend with Xiong Jun. He was no match for him.

"Bang!"

With a dull crash, Xiong Jun swung his bear claw and heavily struck Jiang Heng.

He was merely venting the frustration in his heart rather than fighting to the death, so he naturally held back.

Jiang Heng could have dodged that claw, but he did not. He simply wanted to test Xiong Jun's strength.

Not bad!

It was roughly what he had estimated. Xiong Jun's strength was equivalent to that of a human Super Douluo at the peak of Rank 97, enough to contend with a Rank 98 Super Douluo.

He just did not know whether the damage of Xiong Jun's self-created Sky-Rending Claw had reached the level of a Limit Douluo.

After all, it was a technique capable of injuring even Di Tian.

"Xiong Jun, are you scratching an itch for me?"

"If this is all the strength you have, then your position will have to be given to me!"

After taking Xiong Jun's blow head-on, Jiang Heng immediately provoked him.

Today, he truly wanted to see whether Xiong Jun's Sky-Rending Claw was more formidable, or whether his own Star Breaker was stronger.

The reason he dared to be so arrogant was that he possessed absolute confidence and backing.

With the bloodlines of so many True Dragons within him, he was essentially already a pure-blooded True Dragon.

The gap between bloodlines was most apparent among Soul Beasts. A thirty-year-old pure-blooded True Dragon could completely challenge a Fierce Beast with five or six hundred thousand years of cultivation.

With his current foundation, as long as he was willing, he could take the final step at any time, complete his acquired bloodline transformation, and become a true pure-blooded True Dragon. The reason he had not done so was because he was still accumulating strength, seeking to go even further.

"Arrogant!"

Provoked like this, Xiong Jun immediately flew into a rage and stopped holding back.

"Dark Gold Terror Claw!"

Xiong Jun condensed power close to Ultimate Gold and fused it into his right claw. Waves of soul-shaking power radiated from it, carrying a deadly aura of danger.

This was Xiong Jun's Innate Soul Skill, Dark Gold Terror Claw, which contained the power to tear through space.

The claw wind carried metallic cutting force; any contact would cut to the bone.

"This technique is far too crude!"

Seeing Xiong Jun use his Innate Soul Skill, Jiang Heng gently shook his head. This attack method relied only on brute force and the basic attributes of physical instinct.

It did not truly bring out the power it should possess. Otherwise, with Xiong Jun's cultivation and foundation, merely developing and skillfully using this Innate Soul Skill would allow him to easily tear apart the defenses of a Rank 97 Title Douluo.

After seeing through its essence, he no longer had any intention of dodging. He stood there quietly and waited for Xiong Jun's attack.

It was time to let these Fierce Beasts see the difference between having a brain and not having one.
