A Heaven-Defying Boost
This unexpected change came so suddenly that even the God of Evil and his allies didn't have time to react before everything was already over.
That power was able to forcibly merge two unrelated God-King inheritances and even create its own divine test content for each inheritance. Such methods were far beyond the comprehension of the three God-Kings.
Once the confinement within their sea of consciousness dissipated, the three divine kings dared not linger and hurriedly activated their divine senses to withdraw.
After the Life God King's consciousness escaped from Lu Xuan's sea of consciousness, it also activated its inheritance, and the divine light descended upon Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan together.
She immediately recognized that Ye Lingling was the most compatible with the Dao of the Life God King, and without hesitation, she imprinted the Life God King's legacy onto Ye Lingling.
As the divine inheritance gradually came to a conclusion, the divine consciousness of the god-kings finally broke free from the confinement of Lu Xuan's sea of consciousness and returned to the Divine Realm.
"This is terrifying!" The Godess of Kindness slumped down, his fingertips still trembling slightly. "What level of being is that? To manipulate us three God-Kings as easily as an old man toying with children!"
"Beyond the Divine Realm, there exist beings we cannot afford to offend." The God of Evil beside him murmured in agreement, "Yet those supreme beings did not harm us, but instead allowed us to leave behind our legacy. It seems they intend to cultivate this successor."
"The situation has long been out of our control," the God of Destruction said in a deep voice. "Just leave the legacy honestly, hoping to leave a good impression on that senior."
The God of Evil nodded slightly and said, "Let's go and see who's around Lu Xuan and what kind of divine position they're capable of taking."
"What were you discussing just now?" The God of Life asked, looking at the three of them whispering amongst themselves with a puzzled expression.
"Xiao Lu, it's like this. So-and-so~ like this!" Destruction told his wife what had happened, and said, "That Lu Xuan is someone we can't afford to offend. When you leave the inheritance for Ye Lingling, be careful not to make things difficult for her."
"Such a thing truly exists in this world?" Upon hearing this, the God of Life instantly realized the gravity of the situation and said, "Then we must quickly select a suitable successor and entrust it to those around Lu Xuan."
The four of them were, after all, god-kings, and commanded many divine officials. Apart from the divine positions vacated after the fall of those gods, it was not difficult to temporarily create new divine positions even if the candidates' aptitudes were not entirely suitable.
The only problem is that it's difficult for First-Level God to pass on their skills.
Currently, the only fallen first -First-Level God are the God of Destruction, the God of Thunder, the God of Ice, and the Angel God —each a suitable relative for Lu Xuan.
Therefore, the only option left is to select from the Second-Level God.
Douluo Continent, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
In the tranquil secret realm, the swirling, alternating hot and cold Spirit Energy flowed gently. After an unknown period of silence, Lu Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, finally slowly opened his eyes.
Two clear, bright eyes flashed across his gaze, reflecting a momentous encounter that had taken root in his mind.
"Xiao Xuan!"
Seeing this, Ye Renxin, who had been waiting nearby, looked at him with concern and quickly asked, "How are you feeling? How much of an improvement did that Pills give you?"
Lu Xuan immediately stood up, his face beaming with excitement, his voice brimming with joy. "Master, I'm fine, in excellent condition! Better than ever!"
He slightly raised his hand, feeling the surging Soul Power within his body, and continued, "Both of my Twin Martial Souls have been amplified. Now, I can not only successfully absorb my Fifth Soul Ring, but I can even absorb my Sixth Soul Ring!"
"Two Martial Soul?"
Ye Renxin had already made some guesses, but hearing Lu Xuan say it in person made her completely certain.
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. "You also possess Twin Martial Souls?"
"Hmm." Lu Xuan smiled slightly awkwardly and said, "I've kept this from Master all this time, I hope Master won't take offense."
"Hehe, it's alright, it's alright." Ye Renxin felt no displeasure at being deceived; on the contrary, he was delighted by the continuous stream of surprises his disciple had brought him.
"Xiao Xuan," Ye Renxin asked thoughtfully, "How many years of Fifth Soul Ring?"
Lu Xuan did not answer immediately. With a thought, he summoned his [Black Jade Divine Flute].
As the ancient Jade Flute appeared in his palm, four jet-black Soul Ring, rich in color, slowly rose from beneath his feet, encircling his body in layers, dazzling and awe-inspiring.
"The [Nine-Flower Jade Dew Pill] I took previously directly increased the age of my four existing Soul Ring to around 50,000 years." Lu Xuan slowly recounted his transformation, his eyes clear. "Now my physique and Martial Soul foundation have surged, and my maximum endurance has increased to 70,000 to 80,000-year Soul Ring."
"It's a pity that the Mirror Shadow Beast is hard to find." Lu Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If we can't find a suitable Soul Beast, I'll just adjust accordingly based on the actual situation."
"Seventy or eighty thousand years?"
Upon hearing this age limit, Ye Renxin raised his hand to reach out and carefully sense the foundation of Lu Xuan's physical body.
After examining him, he was secretly amazed to find that Lu Xuan's current physical strength was in no way inferior to that of Dugu Bo when he first became Titled Douluo.
If it were to absorb an 80,000-year-old Soul Ring, it would indeed have enough strength to withstand it.
As for the mental impact of Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast...
With Lu Xuan's three External Soul Bone that amplify his spirit, there's no way he couldn't withstand the so-called mental impact.
Ye Renxin felt relieved and said, "Then let's rest for a while. Later, I'll go with Brother Dugu to hunt for this Soul Ring!"
"Master," Lu Xuan suddenly spoke up, "There's more surprise in store!"
Ye Renxin was slightly taken aback, his eyes filled with surprise. "There's more?"
A surge in strength, a transformation and evolution of the Martial Soul, the revelation of Twin Martial Souls —even the four Soul Ring of the First Martial Soul have all skyrocketed to top-grade age of over 50,000 years. Each and every one of these is an astonishing encounter, but who would have thought that this wasn't all the surprises in store?
The Black Jade Divine Flute in Lu Xuan's hand trembled slightly, a layer of warm, dark light flowing around its body. He uttered in a deep voice, "Divine Flute Domain, open!"
A ring of light ink-colored ripples spread outwards from him, and wherever it passed, the surrounding vegetation instantly froze, and the air seemed to solidify.
The inky black domain continued to expand, enveloping vast Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Faint, ethereal flute music drifted through the heavens and earth, transforming into invisible threads that Entanglement every inch of space within the domain.
"This is the domain that emerged from my first Martial Soul Evolution!" Lu Xuan said. "After opening this domain, the coverage radius of all my Soul Skill increases by 100%, the consumption of Soul Power is reduced by 50%, and the recovery speed of my own Soul Power doubles!"
Indeed, Lu Xuan's domain did not directly amplify his attacks in the slightest, nor could it imprison or suppress his opponents.
However, it has its own unique and heaven-defying characteristics: the coverage radius of all Soul Skill is directly doubled, and the Soul Power consumption is directly halved.
These two points alone brought about a dramatic qualitative change in his overall abilities.
