Wang Nan stood in mid-air, his spirit power surging as his robes fluttered. Spirit rings encircled him, and the Evil Breaking Dragon emerged from his glabella, continuously circling around him.
Within the ninth spirit ring, specks of starlight shimmered, while the giant Dragon within it supplied him with the power of belief.
The entire sky was dyed gold, and even the sun seemed to retreat under the radiance surrounding Wang Nan.
The dazzling golden light appeared to coat his spirit rings in a thin golden film.
No, it was more than that.
Wang Nan's spirit rings were not merely reflecting golden light. They were actively transforming.
Gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold. The first eight spirit rings had already become brilliant gold. Even the ninth spirit ring, filled with twinkling stars, blazed with light, its vast, galaxy-like form turning into a dazzling golden hue.
The three Divine Cores within him continued to merge. For a moment, the entire World subtly responded to him, its will slowly pulsing in sync with his own.
Scenes that had repeatedly flashed before Wang Nan's eyes appeared once more. This was the World revealing its essence after he had mastered the Law.
Spirit, body, and Law merged into one, and a far greater power naturally arose.
Something changed across all of Sea God Island. Every Titled Douluo present suddenly felt a peculiar force flowing around them. Under its influence, the spirit power within their bodies became noticeably more active.
"Roar!"
Another dragon's roar echoed as the Evil Breaking Dragon soared into the sky. Its massive body radiated dazzling brilliance, each scale gleaming. The blinding light caused everyone, as well as every spirit beast around Shrek City, to unconsciously look up.
Then, in a flash of golden light, the Evil Breaking Dragon returned, circling Wang Nan once more.
From head to tail, its form grew even more solid, slowly pulsing in rhythm with the nine spirit rings around him.
It felt as though a long time had passed, yet also like a single instant. The Evil Breaking Dragon vanished, leaving only a newly formed tenth spirit ring.
Wang Nan had long understood the essence of spirit rings. His spirit power had reached its limit, and he lacked none of the necessary conditions to condense one. Just as when he formed his seventh spirit ring, he only needed to imprint his abilities, and his unique tenth spirit ring naturally took shape.
The shock Wang Nan brought to the crowd had long surpassed their capacity for amazement. The appearance of the tenth spirit ring caused only a slight ripple in their already numb hearts.
The tenth spirit ring gleamed with golden brilliance, engraved with clear dragon-scale patterns. It looked like a spirit ring, yet also like the Evil Breaking Dragon was still coiled around him.
Wang Nan suddenly opened his eyes. Two golden beams shot forth from his pupils, piercing the sky. Streams of golden light surged from within his body, wrapping around him.
When the light faded, a set of golden armor had already formed upon him.
This was neither a spirit ability nor a soul guidance device, but a true divine suit created from his Spirit Bone.
During bone tempering, Wang Nan's Spirit Bone had already been forged into one, laying the foundation for a divine suit. Now, as his Divine Cores fully merged into a single Divine Core and his spirit power broke through to Rank 100, it naturally transformed.
Wearing a Phoenix Wing Purple Gold Crown, clad in golden armor, and with Cloud-Stepping Boots beneath his feet, Wang Nan twirled the Coiling Dragon Staff in his hand. The two plumes atop his crown swayed gently with his movements.
Looking down, he spotted many members of the Pan Family and Dragon Family among the crowd.
After the war ended, the Dragon Family had not returned to Heaven Dou City. Instead, they merged with the Pan Family. Invited this time, many among them had awakened Dragon Spirits.
Wang Nan's gaze swept past the Silver Dragon King Gu Yue, paused briefly, then turned toward the golden sky.
"In the past, I received the favor of the Qian Family and comprehended this staff technique," Wang Nan said slowly. "Today, I perform it for future generations, to repay that kindness."
"May future generations never forget the Profound Truth of the Coiling Dragon."
As his voice rang out, several Coiling Dragon Staff Spirits among the Pan and Dragon Family descendants released themselves involuntarily. The staffs, symbols of righteousness and unyielding spirit, trembled and resonated with Wang Nan's aura.
An invisible force spread outward, washing over their hearts.
"We respectfully obey the divine decree!"
Their voices echoed together.
Wang Nan nodded gently.
"Observe the Unbending Staff Technique, which leads to the God Realm."
Standing in the air, Wang Nan raised the Coiling Dragon Staff with both hands. A massive golden phantom, identical to him, mirrored the motion behind him. The next instant, his arms descended, and the sky above Sea God Island shattered with a thunderous sound.
Before the first Move fully ended, Wang Nan pulled and pushed with both hands, the second Move flowing naturally after it.
Power surged. One end of the staff vibrated violently, and in that instant, the entire World seemed to fall under its shadow, shattered by his strike.
With a horizontal sweep, the fourth Move followed immediately. The surrounding World descended into chaos, and all Spirit Masters lost their perception of the Laws between heaven and earth.
In the next instant, all distortions vanished. Wang Nan's figure disappeared from mid-air, and a single golden speck appeared. Immense power erupted.
This was the fifth Move.
The five Moves, derived from basic staff techniques, had been completed. Wang Nan then glanced at the Qian Family descendants below.
If talents emerged among them, these first five Moves could be learned naturally. As for the latter four, they would require personal insight. How much could be grasped would depend on each individual's comprehension.
The sixth Move.
Wang Nan swung his staff. Though he stood alone, a vast army seemed to manifest before everyone's eyes.
This Move embodied conquest, a technique meant to overwhelm and defeat all foes. It had long transcended mere form.
The seventh Move.
Since meeting the God of Love, Wang Nan had not displayed the Unbending Staff Technique beyond the sixth Move. Yet this did not mean he lacked comprehension.
If the sixth Move contended with people, then the seventh contended with the entire continent. The innate attribute of the Coiling Dragon Staff was "break," and this Move embodied the breaking of the earth.
Everyone on Sea God Island possessed cultivation above the Titled Douluo Realm and a deep understanding of spirit and intent. Naturally, they could perceive the meaning within Wang Nan's staff.
Thus, when Wang Nan raised the Coiling Dragon Staff, preparing to perform the eighth Move, all eyes were fixed upon the heavens.
Breaking people.
Breaking the earth.
Next would be the boundless firmament.
