Chapter 215 Dramatic Changes in the Divine Realm! The Purple Extreme Extinction Dragon and the Seed of Life
In fact, there were still some things Kong Tianxu didn't say. Although there are many subspecies of unicorns, only the rarest and most powerful beings can truly rival the sacred dragons—
It is not given any attribute prefix, but its abilities naturally cover all subspecies, making it a truly complete unicorn.
"Child of the Stars" is also an honorific title exclusively for it.
However, since there are no verifiable ancient records of this kind of spirit beast, and it exists entirely in legends and poems passed down orally, Kong Tianxu did not mention it much.
As the group flew over the Starfall Grassland, they did not deliberately conceal their presence. As they descended, a few soldiers from the Douling Empire, dressed in standard armor, rushed towards them, blocking their way with imposing manner and questioning their purpose.
The task of negotiation naturally fell to the local, Gu Fan. Shrek Academy had obviously given prior notice. After Gu Fan spoke fluently in the local dialect with the other party in hushed tones for a moment, the leading high-ranking officer, a Soul Saint, turned solemnly to Zhang Lexuan, respectfully presented her with more detailed information from the dossier, and warmly invited everyone to rest for the night in the military camp.
Zhang Lexuan politely declined the invitation.
These people spoke very politely, and their strength was also quite remarkable; they were clearly the elite of the Douling army.
But Kong Tianxu could clearly see that some of them had undisguised sarcasm deep in their eyes.
Based on his understanding of the original Three Kingdoms Soul Master Legion's combat strength, this elite force stationed on the grasslands was fully capable of wiping out that ten-thousand-year-old scorpion tiger.
The delay seems more like a deliberate attempt to pass this hot potato to the Shrek Supervisory Group.
After all, without a Title Douluo to oversee the operation, even if they successfully killed Scorpion Tiger, they would suffer heavy casualties. Now that they have Shrek Academy's top-tier, free labor force, why not take advantage of it?
This model of relying on vigilantes to maintain peace on the mainland is utterly foolish.
Kong Tianxu silently pressed down the brim of his cloak.
With more specific intelligence coverage, and with all members of the team being high-level Soul Masters above the Soul Saint level, their operational efficiency was extremely high.
But as they followed the briefing's directions and crossed the Starfall Grassland to reach the edge of the Starfall Mountains, dusk had already slowly enveloped the boundless grassland like a huge dark golden veil.
After flying for nearly a day, the group chose a gentle slope near the mountains that was sheltered from the wind and close to a water source to set up camp, preparing to rest for the night before resuming a detailed search the next day.
The Sword of Judgment chopped down the tree, Ma Xiaotao started a fire; she and Kong Tianxu worked in perfect harmony, without uttering a word. Although the Douling garrison hadn't provided any substantial assistance, they had at least delivered some food. After a simple dinner, everyone began to rest.
Zhang Lexuan readily accepted the first round of night watch. Kong Tianxu, meanwhile, quietly tended the campfire, making it burn even brighter; the sparks crackled and leaped, dispelling the night chill blowing from the distant grasslands.
Zhang Lexuan's seat was naturally closest to Kong Tianxu's tent.
Everything is understood without words.
The warm glow of the campfire illuminated her serene profile, casting a soft, warm hue. She sat with her knees drawn up to her chest, her gaze occasionally drifting uncontrollably to Ma Xiaotao's quiet tent, her eyes deep and lost in thought.
Night falls, and stars hang low over the plains.
Inside the tent, Kong Tianxu sat cross-legged, clearing his mind of all distractions and sinking into meditation.
The Primordial Origin Domain flowed naturally, absorbing the seemingly exceptionally rich primordial energy of heaven and earth under the night sky of the grassland. Spiritual energy transformed into invisible ripples, gently spreading outwards, sensing the rustling of grass, the whispers of insects, and the breaths of beasts within several miles.
They were already on the edge of the Starfall Grassland, but the starry sky above was still exceptionally bright, and the stars overhead seemed extremely close together. Kong Tianxu could even faintly sense that each cycle of his soul power carried a tiny bit of star power.
Stimulated by this slowly accumulating stellar power, a hazy, pale gold color gradually emerged in his meridians.
Looking from the center of the spiritual sea, it resembles a sea of stars that rises and falls in a dazzling display.
This is----
The starlight that Xu Jiujiu sent into his body during the last Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament?
Kong Tianxu carefully observed the changes within his body. Xu Jiujiu had told him last time at the Star Luo Royal Treasury that the starlight was called the Crown Star, the primordial starlight accumulated through generations of the Star Crown Sect, making it extremely precious.
If the legendary eternal starlight is lit, one can communicate with the power of the stars, rather than simply replenishing soul power from space.
Princess Jiujiu went to great lengths to retrieve this treasure, but even with Kong Tianxu's unguarded permission to act freely, she ended up only sweating profusely, and what she obtained was far from what she wanted.
Observing the profound trajectory of the stellar energy flowing within his body, Kong Tianxu's thoughts drifted to the daytime discussion about the sacred dragon. At the same time, as the starlight brightened, the soul energy within him subtly shifted—the incomparably domineering golden dragon bloodline, the dazzling brilliance of the Holy Light Dragon, the ultimate ice of the Snow Emperor, and the ultimate fire fused with the true fire of the sun and the blazing flames of the phoenix—
Several forces, centered on the Silver Dragon Martial Soul, flowed and merged, ultimately refining into a shimmering golden radiance imbued with a faint, noble purple aura.
Only the final mental attribute is missing, and then—
A barely perceptible hint of expectation quietly swept across the lake of my heart.
Then, without warning, all senses around me blurred and faded instantly, and the world suddenly plunged into pure white.
In the perception of the heavens and earth, it was the manifestation of spiritual power at its purest and ultimate.
There is no sky, no earth, no up, down, or four directions, only pure and vast expanse, like white that can wash away all filth and sin, filling the field of vision and enveloping the senses.
Unlike the time when the soul was drawn by the God of Destruction, his current environment should not have changed. However, his mental perception is enveloped by an irresistible, gentle force. This mental force is too pure, without a trace of impurity or malice, which is why the scene before him has appeared.
But this is already astonishing enough. His spiritual power has already reached a tangible and substantial level. In this world, apart from a few individuals like the 790,000-year-old Evil Eye Tyrant and the 600,000-year-old Sea Princess, whose spiritual power surpasses the Limit Douluo level, who else can achieve this level without anyone noticing?
Alarm bells rang in Kong Tianxu's mind, and his mental energy instinctively gathered as he tried to break free from this strange space.
"Come----"
A clear, warm voice, as if it contained all the beautiful sounds in the world, suddenly resounded in his heart.
Just as Kong Tianxu was filled with doubt and uncertainty, the absolute pure white in front of him suddenly seemed to be slowly lifted by an invisible hand, like the finest silk.
A silver crack quietly appeared.
It wasn't the pitch black or chaotic darkness commonly found in spatial rifts, but rather a dazzling, pure light, flowing with a silvery luster like the moon's reflection in water, as if the space itself had opened up rather than been torn apart.
Even with Kong Tianxu's current level 70 Silver Dragon Martial Soul, which has mastered spatial attributes, he still couldn't see through how the rift was formed or how it was maintained.
This only shows that the opponent's use of spatial power is far superior to his.
A soft halo rippled along the edge of the fissure, as if leading to another realm woven from starlight and dreams, faintly radiating an incomparably pure light and sacred aura.
It hangs there quietly, yet it exudes an ancient and desolate aura, with a strange and approachable charm, like the deepest call.
The voice rang out again, and this time, Kong Tianxu detected even more expectation and—weakness?
"Please come in."
Kong Tianxu could tell that the voice contained no malice whatsoever, and even made people feel close to it, but how could he just enter an unfamiliar spatial rift without knowing why?
Despite already having some suspicions in his mind, his mental energy, which he was subtly gathering, became even more tense.
"Who is this senior? What do they want to do?"
"I am----"
The conversation abruptly ended there.
A familiar yet utterly unfamiliar voice, filled with endless weariness and vicissitudes, boomed out: "Oh? The progress is faster than I expected."
Immediately afterwards, it was as if the foundation supporting this pure white space was violently shattered by some extremely tyrannical force! One after another, ferocious and violent deep purple cracks exploded out of thin air, like a canvas torn apart by an invisible giant force.
The silver rift emitted a mournful tremor, twisted violently, and was then forcibly squeezed and closed by the surging purple tide, disappearing without a trace.
A purple light, imbued with an aura of destruction and annihilation, became the sole hue in this spiritual space. However, this purple was not uniform; rather, it resembled shattered glass, covered with countless tiny yet alarming black cracks, as if it might collapse completely at any moment.
A colossal figure, more solid and majestic, yet also more ethereal and elusive than this deep purple space, coalesced within the endless purple aura.
Dragon.
It was an indescribably majestic dragon!
Its entire body was covered in deep, purplish-black scales, as dark as the cosmos, with destructive lightning flowing along its edges that sent shivers down the spine of space itself. Its dragon body, winding like a mountain, coiled up, and even as a mere phantom projection, it exuded a terrifying majesty that surpassed all things and ruled over the end.
However, the dragon's phantom was unusually faint, like a candle flickering in the wind, its light unpredictable.
The purple light that made up its body kept dissipating, and the black cracks spread across the dragon's body, making a faint cracking sound.
What was most unsettling was his eyes, which were two blazing purple suns, no longer the ones that Kong Tianxu had seen before, shrouded in divine robes, imposing and unfathomable. Instead, they were filled with a certain resolve and a trace of complete liberation.
"Surprised by your appearance?"
"Destruction—senpai?!"
Kong Tianxu could hardly believe his own perception. The aura of this dragon shadow was of the same origin as the Destruction God Seed in his sea of consciousness, but the figure shrouded in mysterious robes, like the embodiment of the rules of the universe, was worlds apart from the illusory yet domineering and arrogant purple dragon before him!
"Senior! What's wrong with you?!" Kong Tianxu asked anxiously.
The state of the God of Destruction before them was clearly a sign that his divine consciousness was about to completely dissipate. What on earth had happened to reduce a supreme law enforcement god to this state?
Almost instantly, the image of the silver lightning that tore through the sky flashed through his mind.
It can't be —
"The realm of gods has encountered an unprecedented spatial-temporal turbulence. Its scale and destructive power are unparalleled throughout history."
The voice of the God of Destruction was calm, yet every word carried immense weight, containing an indescribable sense of devastation.
"In order to prevent the core of the divine realm from collapsing, I, the God of Life, and many other deities burned our origins to solidify the barrier of the divine realm."
The dragon phantom swayed slightly, and the scattered purple light became more and more concentrated. "In the end, although the God Realm was not completely shattered, more than half of it was still swept away by the spacetime turbulence, deviating from its original coordinates and drifting to an unknown destination."
"Perhaps, there will be no return."
Kong Tianxu opened his mouth, unsure of what emotions were surfacing within him.
The spacetime turbulence shouldn't have arrived so early, but perhaps because of the impact of his time travel on this world, it not only arrived earlier than in the original story, but also caused greater destruction.
"My time is running out," the God of Destruction continued. "What you see now is merely a fragment of my divine consciousness before my death. But you need not worry. Though I am dead, my divine position remains. This fragment of divine consciousness carries the complete inheritance of the God of Destruction and has descended to this world following the causal connection that was established with you long ago."
The enormous purple dragon eyes stared at Kong Tianxu, their gaze complex and unfathomable, containing scrutiny, relief, and a hint of deep-seated apology.
"I never imagined that our guidance would end with one of my impulsive acts. I haven't been a very good enforcer. To be honest, you did very well. I've been following your growth. Your resilience, your insight into the nature of power, and your rebellious spirit and challenge to the existing order all resonate with me. The many trials you've faced along the way have been an invisible test of your character and aptitude. You could say that you've completed most of the preparatory tests for the inheritance."
"However, the succession to a divine position ultimately requires the most formal divine examination ceremony. This is a rule that cannot be omitted." The voice of the God of Destruction grew increasingly ethereal. "Given your current progress, the divine examination can truly begin when you become a nine-ring Title Douluo. The examination content and my super artifact, the Staff of Destruction, will also unlock automatically as your strength increases."
It paused slightly, the purple flames in its dragon eyes flashing violently, as if resisting its final demise: "Originally, when you reached level ninety-nine, the pinnacle of this realm, you could have gradually and fully borne the position of the God of Destruction. However—the situation has changed now."
Nine rings? Formal inheritance assessment? Kong Tianxu forced himself to calm down and digest this explosive information.
"At the last moment, I completely merged with the origin of the God of Life, and we are inseparable. In this divine inheritance, the divine position and will of life are inevitably intertwined as well."
The voice of the God of Destruction carried an unprecedented solemnity: "Destruction and life are mutually exclusive and interdependent. Your future path of inheritance requires utmost caution to balance the two, otherwise, there is a risk of collapse."
"You can absorb and utilize the memories and insights contained in the destruction of the legacy; they may be beneficial to your cultivation."
"You may not know this, but there are descendants and arrangements of the current ruler of the God Realm on this continent. You unintentionally ruined many of his plans, so his attitude towards you isn't very friendly. However, he has now been swept into the spacetime turbulence along with the other half of the God Realm, and before he burned himself, he promised me that he would ensure my divine position would be passed down. So you don't need to worry about that."
The dragon's phantom began to fade rapidly, the black cracks spreading wildly like a spiderweb, but its purple flame eyes suddenly blazed brightly, proudly declaring: "As you can see, my true form is not human, but the very source of your destructive power—the ancestor of sub-dragons, the Purple Extreme Annihilation Dragon. More about me will gradually come to you as you receive the inheritance."
Purple Extreme Annihilation Dragon? No wonder!
Kong Tianxu bowed slightly, showing his final respect to this one of the strongest beings in the divine realm and the oldest member of the dragon race.
The God of Destruction's gaze finally focused on Kong Tianxu. Deep within those dragon eyes, which had been as fierce as the blazing sun, a completely opposite tenderness and hope were conveyed: "Finally, please protect it."
The ferocious yet majestic dragon head slowly descended before Kong Tianxu, opening a mouthful of menacing dragon teeth wreathed in terrifying lightning, while its tightly wrapped dragon tongue stretched out with utmost gentleness.
A vibrant, teardrop-shaped crystal fell into Kong Tianxu's hands.
The crystal, no bigger than a broad bean, seemed to contain all the mysteries and compassion of life since the beginning of time. Its light was gentle yet unstoppable; the moment it appeared, even the shattered purple spatial cracks seemed to be briefly smoothed out, as if the seed itself represented a gentle denial of the end and a tenacious continuation.
"This is—the seed of the Tree of Life." The God of Destruction's last words, faint as a whisper, were imprinted with unparalleled clarity on the depths of Kong Tianxu's soul as the seed drifted away. "It is condensed from the very essence of life in the divine realm, and it is also—"
One of the origins of plants in all kingdoms and the vast majority of life forms.
"It is the foundation for reshaping the divine realm, and also the continuation of my wife's Goddess of Life."
Please.
