Sea God Pavilion on Sea God Island.
This ancient building, carved entirely from the branches of the Golden Tree, represented Shrek Academy's highest authority.
A dense emerald mist condensed from the aura of life drifted slowly through the spacious room.
Sunlight filtered through gaps in the lush branches and leaves, spilling across the wooden floor.
Six years ago, Yun Yi had transmigrated to Douluo Continent.
The memories of his previous life remained vivid.
Back then, he had been nothing more than an ordinary college student who avidly read web novels, with nothing to his name except a handsome face.
Yet when he opened his eyes again, he had become a newborn infant, stranded on the outskirts of the perilous Star Dou Forest.
Had Dragon God Douluo Mu En not happened to pass by while out on a whim that day, saving him and bringing him back to Sea God Island, his journey after transmigrating would likely have ended before it even began.
Mu En settled Yun Yi in Sea God Pavilion and personally raised him for six full years.
The outside world claimed that the master of Sea God Pavilion was merciful and kind, but only Mu En himself knew why he had truly kept this child.
Mu En reclined halfway in a specially made wicker chair. His aged face was etched with the marks of time, yet his eyes, which ought to have been clouded, were exceptionally sharp at this moment. His gaze was locked firmly on Yun Yi, who sat cross-legged in the center of the room.
Then, he slowly raised his withered right hand.
Golden light gathered in his palm. Accompanied by a low dragon's roar, a miniature phantom of a Radiant Holy Dragon appeared, coiling around his fingertips.
This was the origin Soul Power of a Rank 99 Limit Douluo, representing the most supreme light attribute in all of Douluo Continent.
Mu En guided the phantom Radiant Holy Dragon slowly toward Yun Yi.
The instant the golden light entered within half a foot of Yun Yi, a sudden change occurred.
The Radiant Holy Dragon phantom's dazzling golden scales dimmed in an instant, and the phantom that had been baring its fangs and brandishing its claws began to tremble violently.
This was not the vigilance of encountering a powerful foe, but the instinctive terror of an inferior facing a sovereign.
The golden light retreated uncontrollably. No matter how Mu En urged it onward, it did not dare cross that boundary by even half a step.
Mu En curled his fingers, withdrawing the remaining Soul Power. His chest heaved violently.
Even though he had tested it countless times already, this suppression of rank still made his heart pound in alarm.
The Radiant Holy Dragon was already a Martial Soul with the most supreme light attribute, yet before this six-year-old child, whose Martial Soul had not even awakened, his own power had actually displayed submission.
There was only one truth: the nature of the power hidden within this child's body had to far surpass the Radiant Holy Dragon.
"Little Yi, it's time."
Mu En straightened up, his aged voice echoing through the empty room.
Yun Yi opened his eyes. There was none of the childish bewilderment one would expect from a six-year-old in those deep eyes.
He rose to his feet, calmly straightened his clothes, and then walked over to Mu En.
"Grandpa Mu, I'll trouble you."
Mu En nodded. With a wave of his right hand, six glossy black Awakening Stones shot forth.
They embedded themselves precisely around Yun Yi's feet, forming a perfect six-pointed star formation.
Mu En poured his Soul Power into the formation.
The six black stones immediately lit up, and the golden barrier they projected enveloped Yun Yi's body.
The awakening ritual officially began.
Yet the moment the formation activated, Yun Yi's body tensed sharply, and he clenched his fists tight.
Scorching heat.
Unimaginable heat erupted from the depths of his marrow and surged through the meridians in his body.
The gentle aura of life from the Golden Tree outside was incinerated the instant it touched this power.
Boom—!
A tremendous blast shook the surrounding walls violently.
Blinding crimson-gold light erupted from Yun Yi's palm, swallowing every color in the room in an instant.
This was no ordinary light or fire, but the purest power of destruction.
The temperature in the room began to soar at a terrifying rate. Even the incomparably resilient Golden Tree floor began to show signs of charred carbonization.
Mu En's expression changed abruptly. He slammed both hands downward, and the vast Soul Power of a Limit Douluo transformed into a heavy golden barrier, protecting the Sea God Pavilion, which had stood for nearly ten thousand years.
At the center of the light, Yun Yi loosely clenched his left hand.
Endless crimson-gold streaming flames compressed into his palm. At last, all the light and fire converged, transforming into an ancient, majestic longbow.
The bow was crimson-gold, its surface engraved with intricate and obscure ancient divine patterns. Every line flowed with blinding True Sunfire.
Its bowstring was condensed from pure ultimate light, and the taut string radiated an edge sharp enough to tear space apart.
Sun-Shooting Divine Bow!
A dual-attribute Martial Soul of ultimate light and ultimate fire.
The instant the longbow appeared, the Radiant Holy Dragon Martial Soul within Mu En let out a mournful cry, then burrowed deep into his body, not daring to leak even the slightest trace of its aura.
"Dual ultimate attributes..." Mu En cried out in shock.
Yet the shock was far from over.
Before the terrifying heat brought by the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow could reach its peak, layers of ice crystals suddenly formed across the right half of Yun Yi's body.
In contrast to the scorching heat in his left hand, his right hand was bone-piercingly cold.
A deep blue glow began at Yun Yi's right shoulder and surged down his arm.
The scorching vapor filling the air instantly froze into countless ice fragments that drifted down from above,
signaling that the utterly opposing powers of extreme cold and extreme heat had taken Yun Yi's body as their battlefield and begun a savage clash of energy.
The crimson-gold blazing sun, capable of burning away the eight realms, transformed into raging fire dragons opening their giant maws to swallow the heavens,
while an ice phoenix spreading its wings, formed from a profound frozen abyss capable of sealing the Nine Netherworlds, clashed fiercely against them within this confined space.
Amid deafening, consecutive explosions, every collision between ice and fire detonated terrifying ripples of energy around Yun Yi,
causing the golden barrier protecting the room to twist violently beneath the fierce impacts as countless cracks spread across its surface.
Yun Yi gritted his teeth, veins bulging across his forehead as he endured the extreme torment of sweat evaporating the instant it emerged, only to freeze into frost moments later.
He forcibly endured the agonizing pain of his meridians being torn apart and reassembled. With the five fingers of his right hand, he clawed fiercely at the air, gathering the ice fragments that surged upward against the flow into his palm and condensing them into an azure-blue battle spear over ten feet long.
This peerless divine weapon, known as the Ice Yi Divine Spear, had a deep blue shaft seemingly carved from ten-thousand-year mystical ice, with the faint phantom of raging rivers rolling within it.
Its spearhead was solidified from extreme cold. As its sharpness flickered, it forcibly drove back the True Sunfire emitted by the Sun-Shooting Divine Bow by half a foot,
forming the opposing manifestations of a bow and a spear, representing ultimate fire and ultimate ice.
Standing proudly at the boundary between light and darkness, Yun Yi resembled an ancient war god commanding both extremes as the ice-fire tempest raged around him.
As the violent clash of energies gradually subsided, the two utterly opposing ultimate Martial Souls within his body reached a mysterious balance. Crimson-gold and deep blue radiance poured forth, casting the entire Sea God Pavilion in bizarre, shifting hues.
Mu En's mind had gone blank at the sight before him. He knew full well just how heaven-defying this Twin Martial Souls talent of dual ultimate attributes was.
Yet just as his heart shook violently and he prepared to withdraw the barrier to check on Yun Yi, another change descended.
The space within Sea God Pavilion began to warp without warning.
Immediately afterward, a beam of utterly pure golden holy light, untouched by mortal dust, pierced through Sea God Pavilion's dome. Completely ignoring the Golden Tree's defensive barrier, it shone directly before Yun Yi.
Then, from the equally shattered void beside that golden holy light, a sea of flames and a boundless ocean poured forth from the rift at the same time.
The terrifying aura emitted by the divine consciousness of three gods, crossing endless space to descend upon this wooden building at once, pinned Mu En firmly to his wheelchair.
Divine might was like a prison!
