Nine-Nether Ao! Twin Martial Souls?!

The Cardinal's expression changed drastically, and he was forced back several steps by the shockwave.

Immediately following.

Ten thousand zhang of golden light erupted from Lin Qiu's body.

It was blinding to the extreme.

The entire great hall was instantly dyed in gold.

Even the sun outside seemed dim and lusterless at this moment.

The elders and titled Douluo who had been preparing to watch a joke suddenly stood up from their seats.

The expressions on their faces shifted from disdain to horror.

"This... what is this commotion?"

"Such a terrifying aura!"

"How could this possibly be a Martial Soul awakening?"

Bibi Dong even teleported directly to the edge of the Awakening Platform.

Purple soul power shielded her entire body as she stared fixedly at Lin Qiu in the center of the radiance.

Her eyes were filled with shock.

This light...

It was a hundred times more brilliant than when Qian Renxue awakened her Six-Winged Angel!

Just as everyone was stunned by this anomaly.

Within the light.

Lin Qiu slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his temperament had undergone a massive change.

The lazy and casual youth from before had vanished.

Replacing him.

Was a figure like a god, yet like a demon.

Behind him.

No concrete phantom of a beast or tool Martial Soul appeared.

Instead, it was a vast ocean.

A Golden Bitter Sea.

Waves surged violently, crashing against the shores.

Above that Golden Bitter Sea.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, with chaotic energy permeating the air.

And within that chaos.

An ancient Bronze Immortal Palace seemed to loom in and out of existence.

Lin Qiu reached out his hand.

He pressed it lightly onto the crystal ball used to test soul power.

Amidst the light, the golden ocean became even more turbulent.

The sound of waves crashing against the firmament echoed clearly in everyone's ears.

In the deepest part of that ten thousand zhang of golden light, a massive, pitch-black figure slowly emerged.

It was a wolf.

Yet, it was not merely a wolf.

It possessed nine heads, each one hideous and terrifying, with distinct features.

Its body was as vast as a mountain, covered in scales that looked as if they were cast from black gold.

Its tail was not a common wolf tail, but a massive dragon tail, topped with a ferocious dragon head.

Nine-Nether Ao.

One of the Ten Primordial Evils.

In the Shrouding Heavens World, this was a supreme malevolent spirit capable of contending with the True Dragon and True Phoenix.

At this very moment, it had descended upon the Douluo Continent.

A fierce, baleful aura originating from the primordial ages instantly swept through the entire awakening hall.

This aura was too tragic and brutal.

It was as if a peerless demon king had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

The Cardinal responsible for the awakening felt his legs go weak and collapsed directly onto the floor.

His face was deathly pale, and his entire body trembled uncontrollably.

That was a fear originating from the depths of his soul.

Seated in the elder's chair, the Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo, suddenly widened his previously murky eyes.

He felt a suppression.

It was an absolute crushing force originating from the level of his Martial Soul.

His Martial Soul was the Golden Crocodile King, a top-tier assault-type beast Martial Soul, enough to rank in the top three among all beast Martial Souls on the continent.

Yet now, in the presence of that black figure.

The Golden Crocodile King within his body was actually whimpering, trembling.

It was as if a subject had encountered an emperor.

The knuckles of the hand with which Golden Crocodile Douluo gripped his teacup turned white.

How could this be?

How could there be a beast Martial Soul in this world more noble and terrifying than the Golden Crocodile King?

The expressions of the other several Worships also changed drastically.

The Coiling Dragon Staff in Falling Devil Douluo's hand emitted a buzzing sound, as if it wanted to protect its master automatically.

Thousand Jun Douluo's breathing became rapid.

Just what kind of freakish thing is this kid's Martial Soul?

Lin Qiu stood in the center of the light, feeling the power surging within his body.

Is this the power of the Nine-Nether Ao?

It is indeed overbearing.

He slowly reached out his hand and pressed it onto the crystal ball, which was already unable to bear the load.

BOOM!

The crystal ball instantly erupted with brilliant light.

There was no gradual climbing process.

The light directly filled the entire crystal ball, then overflowed, illuminating the dome of the entire great hall.

Crack!

A crisp shattering sound rang out.

The crystal ball, capable of withstanding a level ten soul power test, had actually exploded directly.

It turned into countless crystalline fragments, scattering across the floor.

Dead silence.

One could hear a pin drop in the great hall.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, watching this scene.

The crystal ball exploded?

Everyone present knew exactly what this meant.

Innate Full Soul Power?

No.

This was an existence that surpassed Innate Full Soul Power.

The Cardinal climbed up tremblingly and replaced it with a higher-grade crystal ball.

Lin Qiu placed his hand on it once more.

The light shone forth.

The Cardinal swallowed hard.

His voice was hoarse, carrying extreme shock.

"Innate Soul Power..."

"Level twenty!"

The moment these four words were uttered, it was like a thunderbolt striking the ground.

The entire great hall instantly erupted into chaos.

"Level twenty? How is this possible!"

"A god-level Martial Soul! This is a legendary god-level Martial Soul!"

"Heaven bless Martial Soul Hall!"

The elders were so excited that their faces turned beet red.

Even Thousand Jun Douluo, who had always held a prejudice against him, had his mouth agape, unable to speak for a long time.

Innate level twenty.

That was a talent possessed only by Qian Renxue.

It represented the potential to become a god.

Hu Liena stood beneath the platform, completely stunned.

She stared blankly at the figure on the stage who held everyone's attention.

Just a moment ago, she had been smug about her own innate level nine.

She had even boasted about looking after Lin Qiu.

Now, it seemed.

She was nothing but a joke.

What was innate level nine compared to innate level twenty?

It was merely a firefly vying for brilliance with the bright moon.

Lin Qiu looked at the shocked expressions of those around him, his heart remaining calm.

Was level twenty really that high?

If not for the restrictions of this world's rules, with the foundation of the Nine-Nether Ao, he should have started at least at the Xiantai Realm.

Bibi Dong stood up from her throne.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with joy and pride.

This was her son.

How could someone favored by Bibi Dong possibly be trash?

However.

Just as everyone thought the awakening ceremony had concluded.

Lin Qiu did not step down from the Awakening Platform.

He remained standing there.

Because he felt another force surging within his body.

It was the other part of the system's reward.

"It's not over yet."

Lin Qiu whispered to himself.

As soon as his voice fell.

A change occurred once more.

The grand hall, previously filled with the fierce aura of the Nine-Nether Ao, suddenly gained a hint of coolness.

From the cracks in the floor of the hall, blades of tender green grass sprouted.

They grew at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the entire Awakening Platform was surrounded by greenery.

Above that golden ocean, beside the Nine-Nether Ao.

A green lotus slowly bloomed.

Chaos Green Lotus.

A single lotus in the eternal blue sky.

This lotus had only three leaves, yet it seemed to carry the Great Dao of heaven and earth.

It was wreathed in gray, misty chaos energy.

Every wisp of chaos energy that drifted down seemed as heavy as a thousand jun, causing the space to distort slightly.

With the appearance of this green lotus, the violent, fierce aura of the Nine-Nether Ao was miraculously neutralized.

A profound balance was achieved within Lin Qiu.

Yin and Yang in harmony.

Creation in myriad forms.

"This... what is this?"

"Another Martial Soul?"

"Twin Martial Souls!"
