Chapter 15 A genius is often envied by heaven; great achievements are hard to sustain!
Above the sky, the once domineering and incomparable purple-gold dragon phantom slowly swirled, eventually transforming into lines of text flowing with dark purple light.
Unlike the six-winged angels' harsh judgment of character, this piece of writing exudes a sense of helpless desolation and loneliness.
[Drawbacks and shortcomings: Talented individuals are often envied by fate, and great achievements are difficult to sustain.]
The Purple Emperor's annihilation of the Heavenly Dragon represents the ultimate destruction; a mortal's mortal body could hardly bear its weight.
Although this martial soul is one of the two great inheritances of the Sun and Moon royal family, its awakening conditions are extremely demanding. Only those with naturally strong physiques, resilient souls, and ancestral bloodlines can obtain it.
Of the royal family members of the Sun and Moon Dynasty, eight or nine out of ten awaken the "Sun" Martial Soul. Only the most exceptional geniuses, one in ten thousand, can bear the might of this world-destroying dragon.
Its power is its only original sin. Because it is too powerful, it is difficult to survive; because it is too powerful, its lineage ends. Those who possess this martial soul often face the awkward situation of having no successor, and the succession of imperial power is often shaken as a result.
Upon reading this, the Sun and Moon Empire, which was still immersed in ecstasy, felt as if a bucket of ice water had been poured over its head.
In the Imperial Palace of the Sun and Moon, on the imperial court.
The deafening shouts of "Long live!" came to an abrupt halt, replaced by a suffocating silence.
Xu Huang, dressed in a purple and gold dragon robe, had a face that was originally radiant with health, but now showed a deep sense of loneliness and bitterness.
He looked up at the sky, and his eyes, which had been burning with ambition, dimmed instantly, as if he had aged ten years in an instant.
"well……"
A long sigh escaped from the mouth of this brilliant and ambitious emperor, echoing throughout the hall with an air of profound desolation.
Xu Huang slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the princes standing below the main hall.
They were all dashing and talented, each possessing the top-tier martial soul "Sun".
Normally, Xu Huang would feel proud of them, but at this moment, under the supreme radiance of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon, this originally dazzling Sun Martial Soul appeared so ordinary.
"Everything Tianmu said is true." Xu Huang's voice was a little hoarse, carrying a sense of helplessness as both a father and an emperor.
"I have five sons, each one a dragon among men, yet none of them... none of them can inherit my Purple Radiance Annihilation Dragon."
"My unparalleled cultivation, this dragon's might capable of destroying the universe, will I truly disappear from this world after my death?"
Upon hearing the emperor's lament, all the civil and military officials were terrified.
"Splash—"
A rustling sound of armor rang out, and hundreds of ministers knelt down in unison, their foreheads pressed tightly against the cold ground, not daring to even breathe.
"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty is in the prime of your life and will surely give birth to a prince who will inherit the Purple Emperor's power to destroy the Heavenly Dragon!" the prime minister said in a trembling voice, cold sweat dripping from the tip of his nose.
Everyone knows that this is Xu Huang's greatest pain.
Zihuang Mietianlong is too powerful, so powerful that even offspring with royal blood cannot easily inherit it.
This not only signifies the severance of martial spirits, but also the decline of imperial authority and deterrent power.
Xu Huang waved his hand, his expression desolate:
"Enough, my beloved ministers, rise. Fate has decreed this, and no human power can change it. Now that the heavens have revealed the truth, why should I deceive myself? This glory of being second in the world is ultimately my own lonely one."
He sat back on the dragon throne, but his once upright spine now looked somewhat hunched.
That is the loneliness of being at the top, the sorrow of having no successors.
……
Douluo Continent.
Unlike the Sun Moon Empire's mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, the major forces on the Douluo Continent at this moment were completely focused on something other than the Martial Soul itself.
"The Sun and Moon Empire? The Sun and Moon Continent?"
Inside the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xueye frowned, his finger constantly tracing patterns on the map, yet he still couldn't find this so-called "Sun and Moon Empire".
The same thing happened to various factions.
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Ning Fengzhi's expression was solemn. He tapped his scepter lightly on the ground and said in a deep voice, "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's intelligence network spans the entire world, yet we have never heard of this name. This means..."
He paused, his gaze drifting to the distant west beyond the main hall. "This proves that the Sun Moon Empire isn't even on the Douluo Continent!"
"The sea."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, his eyes surging with sword intent.
"The sea is boundless. Since there is Seagod Island, why can't there be another continent? The fact that the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon can rank above the Six-Winged Angels indicates that the strength of that empire is probably no less than that of the Spirit Hall, or even... stronger!"
These words shocked everyone in the room.
The Spirit Hall, the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong stared intently at the words "Sun Moon Empire," her madness lessening and replaced by a deep sense of apprehension.
"The other side of the sea, huh..." Bibi Dong sneered, tapping her scepter lightly with her fingers.
"It seems this world is much larger than I imagined. What a magnificent sight it would be if two continents were to collide with a royal family possessing such terrifying martial spirits!"
The Star Luo Empire, the Haotian Sect, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan... all the forces felt a deep sense of crisis at this moment.
An unknown and powerful empire, possessing a martial spirit surpassing that of a six-winged angel, is like a giant beast lurking in the deep sea, making people uneasy.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the scene on the screen suddenly changed.
Om-!
An even more violent and pure aura of destruction than before instantly swept across the entire Douluo Star.
That wasn't oppression directed at the body, but a terror that acted directly on the soul!
【Purple Emperor Annihilates the Heavenly Dragon: The Founding War (Sun and Moon Ancestors)】
The scene depicts a desolate Gobi Desert, where a fierce wind whips up gravel and howls mournfully.
Amidst the sandstorm, a man stood with his hands behind his back.
He wore a simple black robe, yet it couldn't conceal his innate imperial aura.
His face was as resolute as if carved by a knife, and his eyes seemed to contain two purple thunderbolts. Just by standing there, the surrounding space seemed unable to bear his presence, constantly distorting and cracking.
This is the founding emperor of the Sun Moon Empire, and the ancestor of the Xu family!
Opposite him, two identical-looking old men floated in the air.
The two were connected by their auras, and their soul power fluctuations were completely synchronized. They were clearly a pair of twin Title Douluos with a Martial Soul Fusion Skill!
"Xu Tian! You have acted against all reason, attempting to swallow up our sect. Today is your death day!"
The old man on the left shouted sternly, and nine spirit rings lit up on both of them at the same time. The eighteen spirit rings shone brightly, creating a powerful and imposing sight.
"Noisy."
The man called Xu Tian simply uttered two words.
The next moment, he moved.
Without any fancy moves, he simply took a step forward.
boom--!!!
With this step, the ground within a radius of a hundred miles instantly collapsed!
A thousand-meter-long, purple-red, annihilating dragon phantom suddenly appeared behind him. The dragon roared to the sky, and its purple light of destruction instantly obscured the sun's radiance.
"Soul Fusion Skill - Twin Gods and Demons Transformation!"
The two old men opposite him changed their expressions drastically and unhesitatingly unleashed their strongest trump cards.
The two instantly merged, transforming into a two-headed demon god a hundred meters tall, wielding a giant axe and slashing towards Xu Tian with the power to create the world.
This strike is enough to cut through mountains and sever rivers!
However, Xu Tian remained expressionless, simply raising his right hand and grasping at the incoming giant axe in mid-air.
"destroy."
With a chilling voice, the illusory image of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon suddenly burst forth, transforming into a streak of purplish-black light that crashed directly into the two-headed demon god.
There were no earth-shattering explosions, no dazzling light effects.
Only—annihilation.
Wherever the purple light touched, whether it was the indestructible giant axe or the demon god's body formed from soul power, it instantly turned into nothingness!
It was like ink on a drawing paper being forcibly erased by an eraser, completely disappearing into the world.
"No—!! What kind of power is this?!"
The desperate screams abruptly ceased.
Those two terrifyingly powerful Title Douluos, along with their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, were as fragile as paper in the face of the destructive attribute of the Purple Emperor Annihilation Dragon.
One strike, two kills!
As the sandstorm subsided, Xu Tian remained standing with his hands behind his back, not even lifting the hem of his clothes.
He stared indifferently at the empty space in front of him, as if he had done something insignificant.
"Those who obey me will prosper, those who defy me will perish."
These eight words, accompanied by a terrifying aura of destruction, pierced through ten thousand years of time, striking heavily into the hearts of everyone who gazed upon the celestial canopy.
Sun and Moon Palace.
Looking at his ancestor's invincible figure and the earth-shattering power he exuded with every move, Xu Huang trembled with excitement and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Thump!"
This contemporary Emperor of the Sun and Moon knelt down before the heavens without hesitation, performing a full prostration.
"This unworthy descendant, Xu Huang, pays respects to our ancestor!!"
"May the divine might of our ancestor protect our sun and moon, for thousands of generations to come!!"
Behind him, the officials, both civil and military, were already terrified by the terrifying destructive power. Seeing the emperor kneel down, they all kowtowed repeatedly and shouted "Long live the Emperor!"
At this moment, the formidable reputation of Zihuang the Destroyer of the Heavenly Dragon was deeply imprinted in the soul of every person on Douluo Star.
That was the ultimate violence, pure destruction, and absolute power that transcended the mundane!
As Xu Huang knelt in worship, the images on the sky gradually turned into purple specks of light and disappeared.
However, everyone's hearts were in their throats.
The six-winged angel is incomparably holy and can borrow divine power, ranking third.
Zihuang Annihilates the Heavenly Dragon, achieving the ultimate in destruction. With the Dragon God as its companion, it ranks second.
So...
That which transcends holiness and destruction, that which suppresses the symbiotic aura of angels and dragons—
[Top Ten Martial Souls in Douluo Continent]
【TOP1——】
The whole world seemed to stand still at that moment.
