Lin Tian looked up.
The enormous body of the Nine Nether Beast stretched across the heavens.
It had a savage wolf head, powerful limbs, and a body covered in pitch-black scales.
A dim sheen flowed across every scale.
Nine massive tails spread out behind it, piercing through layers of clouds.
The surrounding space could not withstand that power, splitting open into streaks of black fissures.
The Nine Nether Beast threw back its head and let out a long howl.
Boom!
The river exploded in an instant.
The nearby mountains and forests shook violently, and countless birds fled in panic.
Waves of air swept into the distance, snapping trees along the way.
Lin Tian's robes billowed wildly, forcing him to raise an arm in front of himself.
"This is the Nine Nether Beast?"
"Merely appearing as a martial soul, and it already possesses such might."
The howl faded.
The Nine Nether Beast slowly lowered its head.
Its pair of black eyes crossed the void and finally settled on Lin Tian.
The vicious aura capable of making all beasts submit completely withdrew the moment it came into contact with Lin Tian.
At the same time.
The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus on the other side fully bloomed.
The Azure Lotus took root in the void.
Its thick roots passed through space and extended into boundless chaos.
Lotus leaves unfurled outward one after another, covering the sky and sun in the blink of an eye.
Countless azure rays blossomed between the lotus petals.
The heavens and earth changed accordingly.
The river flowed backward, turning into a towering curtain of water.
The earth split apart, and rocks floated into the air.
Crimson flames ignited in the void, illuminating half the sky.
Raging winds swept through the clouds, supporting the enormous phantom of the Azure Lotus.
Earth, water, fire, and wind cycled in turn.
The four forces collided with one another, then returned to calm beneath the suppression of the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.
Azure Divine Light descended upon the earth.
The plants destroyed by the Nine Nether Beast's aura just moments ago recovered at a visible speed.
Broken tree trunks began to grow anew.
Shattered bluestone reassembled itself.
Even the soil overturned along the riverbank returned to its original state.
Lin Tian stood between the two god-tier martial souls.
On his left, an aura of destruction permeated the air.
On his right, Life Divine Light shone everywhere.
The two completely opposing forces established a close connection with him at the same time.
"The Nine Nether Beast rules destruction."
"The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus commands life."
"One life and one death, yet both can be used by me."
Lin Tian looked at the phenomenon in the sky, his heart trembling with shock.
Either of these martial souls alone was enough to surpass the top martial souls currently existing on the Douluo Continent.
Yet now, he possessed both at once.
And they had only just evolved.
Neither the Nine Nether Beast nor the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus had been attached to any Soul Rings yet.
The growth brought by the Tank Engine had not begun either.
"They possess such power the moment they awaken."
"How powerful will I become once I cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo?"
Spirit City.
Worship Hall.
Deep within the majestic hall.
An elderly man in golden robes sat cross-legged.
A Seraphim statue stood behind him, radiating a sacred aura.
The next moment.
Qian Daoliu abruptly opened his eyes.
His Seraphim martial soul manifested on its own.
Golden radiance illuminated the entire Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu rose to his feet and looked toward the direction of Shrek Academy.
Even across such a great distance, he could still sense a vast aura of life.
Beyond that life aura lingered a vicious power capable of destroying everything.
One life, one death.
Two forces descended upon the continent at once.
"Did someone awaken a martial soul?"
Qian Daoliu frowned deeply.
As a level ninety-nine Peerless Douluo and the Angel God's High Priest, he had seen countless top-tier martial souls across the continent.
Whether it was the Clear Sky Hammer or the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, neither could trigger such a phenomenon upon awakening.
Even the awakening of the Seraphim martial soul had never caused such an immense commotion.
"What kind of martial soul could cause such fluctuations?"
"If this person truly has only just awakened a martial soul, then their talent may have already surpassed every Soul Master on the continent."
Qian Daoliu narrowed his eyes.
Spirit Hall could not afford to miss such a genius.
No matter where the other party came from, he had to make the trip personally.
Qian Daoliu took a step forward.
Golden wings spread behind his back.
The doors of the Worship Hall burst open.
Golden light shot into the sky and vanished from above Spirit City in an instant.
By the riverbank.
Lin Tian closed his eyes and carefully sensed his two martial souls.
The Nine Nether Beast coiled within his Spirit Sea.
With every breath it took, Destruction Power circulated.
That power was utterly tyrannical.
Once unleashed, anything blocking its path would be torn apart directly.
The Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus floated on the other side.
Azure Divine Light continuously nourished Lin Tian's body.
His physique, strengthened by the Attribute Forgers, improved once more under the cleansing of Life Force.
Lin Tian opened his eyes.
His gaze shifted from the Nine Nether Beast to the Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus.
"No wonder the system calls them god-tier martial souls."
"The power of these two martial souls has far surpassed what ordinary Soul Masters can comprehend."
After his initial delight, Lin Tian quickly calmed down.
The disturbance caused by the two martial souls was too great.
If any powerful Soul Masters were nearby, they could not possibly have failed to notice it.
Shrek Academy was not far from here.
Farther away, there was also Suotuo City.
If this phenomenon continued, it would inevitably draw the attention of various factions.
Lin Tian currently had only level ten Soul Power.
No matter how powerful his martial souls were, he could not possibly contend against a true Titled Douluo.
"I have no one to rely on right now. What I need most is time."
"Only after I obtain Soul Rings and raise my Soul Power will I have the qualifications to fight the strong."
"Until then, it is better to keep a low profile."
With a thought from Lin Tian.
The Nine Nether Beast's form gradually faded.
The black radiance quickly withdrew, eventually merging completely into his body.
The sky-covering Primordial Chaos Azure Lotus closed up as well.
The phenomena of earth, water, fire, and wind dissipated one after another.
The Azure Lotus turned into a streak of light and returned to Lin Tian's palm.
The heavens and earth returned to calm.
Only the clouds that had yet to disperse proved that what had just happened was not an illusion.
After putting away his martial souls, Lin Tian did not linger.
He identified the direction and quickly left the riverbank.
After being strengthened by the Movement Speed Forging Device, Lin Tian traveled far faster than before.
He passed through the forest and soon disappeared from sight.
An hour later.
Lin Tian continued along a mountain path.
Ancient trees grew densely around him, their branches and leaves blocking most of the sunlight.
Just as he was about to pass through the forest ahead, an intense fluctuation of Soul Power suddenly came from above.
Boom!
A figure descended from the sky.
The ground cracked across a wide area beneath his feet.
Shattered stones flew in all directions, blocking the road ahead.
Lin Tian immediately stopped.
The dust slowly settled.
A scruffy middle-aged man appeared ahead of him.
The man wore a tattered cloak, with stubble covering his face and messy hair hanging down both sides of his shoulders.
He was tall, and even his ragged clothes could not conceal the power contained within that body.
The middle-aged man raised his eyes and sized Lin Tian up from head to toe.
"Were you the one who caused that disturbance earlier?"
Lin Tian did not answer.
He secretly circulated his Soul Power, ready to release his martial souls at any moment.
For the man before him to descend from the sky, his cultivation had to be at least at the Soul Sage level.
What concerned Lin Tian even more was that the man had not revealed a single Soul Ring.
That meant the middle-aged man did not consider him an enemy worth taking seriously.
