The Skysea Alliance Tournament was held as scheduled.
Only the opening exhibition match had changed hands.
The seven members of Shrek Academy wore strange expressions.
That was because the Skysea Alliance team had formed an arrangement they simply couldn't understand.
Mu Han stood at the very front of the formation, while the other six stood behind him in a fan shape.
They seemed to be surrounding him like stars around the moon, making him the sole focus.
What kind of formation was this?
It gave the impression that the other six were there to cheer him on, as if they were letting him fight alone.
And in fact, that was exactly what they were doing.
As the referee's voice rang out, Mu Han walked forward at an unhurried pace, and three thousand-year Soul Rings rose one after another.
The entire venue erupted. All three Soul Rings were thousand-year Soul Rings? That had never happened at the Skysea Alliance Tournament before.
Even the people from Shrek Academy were startled by Mu Han.
It wasn't that they had never seen a configuration like this, but none of the seven members of their team had ever achieved it.
Although a Soul Master could absorb a thousand-year Soul Ring for their third Soul Ring,
most people chose to absorb a thousand-year Soul Spirit for their second Soul Spirit.
Rather than directly raising their first Soul Spirit to the thousand-year level.
The first reason was that their spiritual power wasn't enough.
If their spiritual power didn't meet the requirements, then by the time they became Four-Ring Soul Ancestors, they would only be able to use hundred-year Soul Spirits.
The second reason was that their physical constitution wasn't strong enough.
A three-ring Soul Elder could withstand one thousand-year Soul Ring, but whether they could withstand three was anyone's guess.
While the people from Shrek Academy were still stunned, Mu Han had already made his move.
First Soul Skill: Wind Eye.
Second Soul Skill: Black Hole.
Soul Skill Fusion Technique: Storm Abyss.
Terrifying suction and gravity instantly seized control of the Shrek team.
At the same time, the Shrek members sensed their Soul Power being continuously drained.
While they were still trying to work out what was happening, Mu Han's third Soul Ring blazed with dazzling light.
All three Soul Rings shone at once. In an instant, they converged into a single black Soul Ring, which radiated brilliant light.
The power of the second Soul Ring was extremely chaotic, with dark and spatial attributes, and even a poisonous attribute.
The third Soul Ring was extremely pure, coming from the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad.
It had even discarded the Vermilion Clear Ice Toad's poisonous attribute, retaining only ice and fire.
The first Soul Ring was Wind Eye, with its wind attribute.
The second Soul Ring was Black Hole, primarily a dark attribute. Darkness was an offshoot of earth.
The third Soul Ring was ice and fire, with ice being an offshoot of water.
Thus, the three Soul Skills together completed the set of water, fire, earth, and wind.
The four basic elements complemented one another, and quantitative change led to qualitative change, bringing about an elevation.
Together, the three Soul Skills formed something that was no longer an ordinary Soul Skill.
It was a domain—and more than that, it was a "world"!
Domains came in many types.
For example, spiritual domains, Innate Domains, and Battle Armor domains.
Some domains had extremely overbearing abilities. Others offered only a few support effects.
But in the end, all domains changed the laws of heaven and earth.
They altered the laws of a certain area of the world to some degree.
If the Douluo Plane were likened to the "royal court,"
then so-called domains were nothing more than "landlords."
At most, they were "bandits"—that is, "landlords who paid no taxes."
But Mu Han's domain was different.
Rather than a "bandit," he was more like a "rebel,"
put simply, bandits were a bunch of outlaws the authorities didn't take seriously.
Rebels, though guilty of a greater crime, had in a sense been acknowledged by the authorities.
And Mu Han was now essentially a "rebel."
He was even a great rebel who had "carved out a fief and declared himself king," "dividing the land at the river and ruling his own side"!
The laws within this "world" were basically under his complete control.
He wasn't modifying the laws on the existing foundation. He was directly rewriting them, creating entirely new laws of heaven and earth.
Although he couldn't write whatever he wanted—at the very least, there still had to be basic logic—
and he had to follow the laws of water, fire, earth, and wind when filling them in.
Still, he could do many things,
such as making gravity disappear, reversing front and back, or even displacing space.
Just then, a pair of enormous emerald-green wings unfurled behind Mu Han,
and for an instant, the entire sky seemed to turn emerald green.
When the color faded, that "world" disappeared too.
All seven members of the Shrek team had lost consciousness, yet none of them had a single external injury.
That was the effect of the wings on Mu Han's back.
The hundred-thousand-year External Soul Bone, Emerald Swan Wings.
Even External Soul Bones came in different forms.
For example, the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Palm Bone, the eye Soul Bone of the Evil Eye Tyrant Sovereign, and even certain ribs.
All of those could be counted among External Soul Bones.
Anything that wasn't one of the six major Soul Bones belonged to the category of External Soul Bones.
But a true External Soul Bone was something like Tang San's Eight Spider Lances, or a pair of wing Soul Bones.
Simply put, it was a body part that the human body didn't naturally possess.
Palm bones, eye Soul Bones, and ribs were parts of the body that humans already had.
So-called External Soul Bones could only strengthen them.
But the Eight Spider Lances and wing Soul Bones gave the body an entirely new part out of nowhere.
That was what made them the most precious.
Di Tian had paid a heavy price to produce this thing.
Though, to be precise, it was Bi Ji who had made the decision.
When the Three-Eyed Golden Lion fell, Scarlet King bore the greatest responsibility, followed by Bi Ji.
After all, Scarlet King had been the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's guardian.
Bi Ji's responsibility lay in the fact that she was a Ferocious Beast who advocated peaceful coexistence.
Otherwise, during the beast tide before the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's fall, human society would have suffered a devastating blow.
Mu Han, of course, had no objections to Bi Ji and Di Tian's decision.
After all, everything involving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was already in the past.
He told them all about God King Tang's schemes involving the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in the original story, including his schemes involving Huo Yuhao.
"During that attribute transfer, he poured half of his daughter's soul into the Three-Eyed Golden Lion."
"Then he intended to set up a clash between his two 'daughters' and Huo Yuhao."
"If it worked, Huo Yuhao would obtain the power of destiny and become the protagonist of the era. Then he'd become his son-in-law."
"If it failed, his daughter would still gain the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's power and take Huo Yuhao's place as the protagonist of the era."
"Either way, the final winner would be his daughter or his son-in-law. Tang San couldn't lose."
"And no matter how it turned out, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion was doomed to die."
"Or rather, if the Three-Eyed Golden Lion didn't die, God King Tang's daughter could never become whole."
"The Divine Realm doesn't allow gods to interfere freely in the mortal world."
"But when the matter involves a god's family, that's a different story."
"In the mortal world, the Three-Eyed Golden Lion is the Emperor Auspicious Beast. In the eyes of the gods in the Divine Realm, it's nothing more than a Soul Beast."
"If all else failed, God King Tang could descend to the mortal world himself. The Three-Eyed Golden Lion would have no chance of survival."
"In the end, it died in a blaze of glory. That wasn't a bad ending, either."
