The Destruction Scepter and Life Ancient Tree Descend Upon the Douluo Continent Together

Golden light slowly enveloped him, while gentle soul power gradually washed over his limbs, bones, meridians, and dantian.

Beside him, Jiang Nannan held her breath and stared unblinkingly at the youth in the center of the formation, her heart filled with anticipation and tension.

She was immensely curious. Just what kind of powerful martial soul would this youth, who possessed heaven-defying miracles and had rewritten her fate, awaken?

But in the next instant, a sudden change erupted!

The originally gentle, holy, dazzling golden light of the formation suddenly began to churn violently!

Sizzle...

A piercing tremor in the air quietly rang out.

The holy golden light rapidly faded, dimmed, and vanished at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In its place came an endless, deep-black dark radiance!

Black currents of air surged, rose, and roared wildly, instantly sweeping through the entire awakening formation and completely shrouding the courtyard!

The previously mild and sacred awakening aura transformed in an instant into a grim, tyrannical, terrifying pressure that seemed capable of annihilating all things!

Endless destruction aura erupted madly from the center of the formation.

Cold, tyrannical, violent, and despairing, it carried the supreme might to destroy everything and annihilate the heavens, pressing down until even the air in the small courtyard completely froze!

Buzz!

A deep, heavy hum that shook the soul exploded forth.

The next moment, a jet-black scepter covered in profound patterns and engraved with dao markings of universal annihilation slowly condensed from the black mist, floating before Li Changsheng!

The scepter was as deep and dark as the night itself, every inch of its patterns flowing with black radiance from the Great Dao of Destruction.

At its peak was embedded a dark-purple crystal of annihilation, faintly circulating terrifying power capable of shattering all things.

Simply floating there quietly, it carried supreme divine might capable of overturning heaven and earth and erasing everything!

The Destruction Scepter!

The original divine artifact of the supreme God King of Destruction had completely appeared in this world!

The courtyard fell deathly silent!

Jiang Nannan's pupils suddenly contracted. Her clear almond-shaped eyes widened to their limit, and her entire body froze on the spot. Her limbs stiffened, and her mind went blank!

Her face was filled with utter horror and disbelief!

She stared blankly at the black scepter floating within the dark mist, her body and soul shaken, her breath halted, and every hair on her body standing on end!

What kind of martial soul was this?

It was too terrifying!

When ordinary martial souls awakened, their spiritual light was either warm and gentle, or their aura was pure. Even assault-type martial souls only carried sharp, fierce energy.

Yet this black scepter before her contained ultimate annihilation and violent destruction!

That terrifying aura, as if it could crush mountains and rivers, extinguish living beings, and end all things, was a majestic pressure she had never felt in her entire life!

It was clearly only a newly awakened martial soul, yet it gave her a despairing sense of oppression ten thousand times more terrifying than even top-tier beast martial souls and ultimate-attribute martial souls!

Just what kind of heaven-defying, bizarre, terrifying martial soul was this?!

Zhou Chun, standing nearby, was equally shaken to the core, his face filled with horror.

Even his body instinctively tensed.

Unprecedented waves surged through his heart, leaving him completely stunned!

Li Changsheng, at the center of the formation, slowly opened his deep black eyes.

A trace of understanding and surprise flashed through his gaze.

He had originally thought that the first martial soul drawn forth by the plane's laws would be the Life Ancient Tree martial soul inherited from his mother, the Goddess of Life.

Yet he had not expected that the Destruction Scepter, rooted deep within his origin and carrying supreme power of slaughter and ruin, would break free of its seal first and become the first martial soul he awakened on the Douluo Plane.

With a slight thought, Li Changsheng remained impassive as he quietly restrained the vast life origin hidden within his body.

In other words, he completely concealed his second martial soul, the Life Ancient Tree, revealing not a trace of it.

Twin god-tier martial souls were far too heaven-defying. Having only just arrived in the lower realm and with his foundation still unstable, it was not wise to expose everything.

The appearance of the Destruction Scepter alone was enough to shake the entire Douluo Continent!

After all, if he chose to reveal everything under the current circumstances, it would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

"Th-this... what kind of martial soul is this...?"

After coming back to his senses, Zhou Chun swallowed, his voice dry and hoarse, trembling uncontrollably.

With cultivation nearing the peak of Soul King, he actually felt an overwhelming sense of insignificance before this aura, like an ant gazing up at the heavens.

A tremor from the depths of his soul swept through his entire body.

He had lived for over several decades, yet this was the first time he had felt near-despairing pressure from a child who had only just awakened a martial soul!

Jiang Nannan beside him had long since been utterly dumbfounded.

Her petite body trembled faintly, her golden hair stirred without wind, and her clear eyes were filled with overwhelming shock and confusion.

Earlier, Li Changsheng had wielded warm, healing divine power of life—gentle and comforting, capable of saving lives and bringing relief like a spring breeze.

But at this moment, Li Changsheng was surrounded by deep darkness and boundless annihilation, as though he had become an entirely different person.

Ultimate vitality, ultimate destruction.

Two completely contradictory and opposing powers existed perfectly within the same youth.

"Too terrifying..."

Jiang Nannan murmured softly, and the reverence she felt for Li Changsheng rose to its peak for the first time.

Zhou Chun forcefully suppressed the turbulent waves in his heart, took a deep breath, and compelled himself to calm down.

No matter how bizarre or terrifying the martial soul was, the upcoming soul power test was what truly determined one's talent!

With that thought, he took a blue crystal ball used to test soul power from his storage soul tool.

"Child, place your hand here."

Zhou Chun's voice was still trembling, but his tone carried unprecedented solemnity.

"Alright."

After nodding in response, Li Changsheng placed his right hand on it.

The next instant, incomparably dense black light shot into the sky, piercing the heavens!

The clouds above the entire region of Heaven Dou City were instantly dyed by a black radiance!

Ordinary innate full soul power would only cause golden light to envelop the body and auspicious energy to rise.

But Li Changsheng's innate full soul power was black light of annihilation that suppressed all directions!

"Full... innate full soul power..."

At the sight of this, his mind completely crashed.

A youth who had never awakened a martial soul before, who had only just stepped onto the path of soul masters.

He had awakened a terrifying martial soul of annihilation that no one had ever seen before.

And he possessed the ultimate talent of innate full soul power!

A monstrous genius of this caliber was truly something not seen even once in a hundred years!

"No wonder... no wonder you were able to cure Nannan's mother's incurable illness at such a young age..."

What he could not understand, however, was how such a peerless genius had fallen into his current circumstances.

By all reason, shouldn't he have been the disciple or young master of some great family?

Meanwhile, on the other side, a black-clad figure was wandering through Heaven Dou City.

After sensing something, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

He looked up at the sky in the distance, surprise and disbelief flashing through his eyes.

This pure power of destruction was simply that of a born evil soul master.

With that thought, he did not hesitate in the slightest and hurried toward the source of the leaking aura.
