"I never expected Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng, that father-son pair, to hold such high expectations for Luo Chuan and Yue'er."
"Candidates for Pagoda Master of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda..."
"Yue'er, Luo Chuan, do your best."
On the way back, Leng Yaozhu still hadn't fully recovered from her earlier shock. She looked at Tang Luochuan and Gu Yue with a meaningful gaze as she spoke.
Though she didn't understand why two ambitious powerhouses like Qiangu Dieting and Qiangu Dongfeng had made such a decision this time, it was clear that the benefits far outweighed any doubts.
"Teacher, we will," Gu Yue replied softly with a faint smile.
"But Luo Chuan..."
"Doesn't seem surprised at all."
After bidding farewell to Leng Yaozhu, Gu Yue turned to Tang Luochuan, blinking curiously before asking in a quiet voice.
"Of course I'm not surprised."
Hearing this, Tang Luochuan simply smiled gently, stepping forward to pull her into his embrace as he whispered.
There was indeed some surprise, but not much.
After all, within Gu Yue's spiritual world resided their subordinate, the Greed Old Demon. And without a doubt, for someone whose influence was strongest on the greedy...
His effect on Qiangu Dongfeng and his father was particularly potent.
"Eh..."
"Fine then."
Receiving such an answer, Gu Yue could only pout and sigh in resignation—so much for shocking Luo Chuan.
"You..."
Watching her adorable reaction, he chuckled without another word. Compared to this, what truly surprised him was...
The fact that Gu Yue had already begun accepting others.
"..."
Two and a half years later.
"..."
Shrek City, Villa District.
A young man who had been sitting cross-legged in meditation slowly rose to his feet. As he instinctively released his Martial Soul, a massive, radiant seven-colored dragon materialized behind him.
The Dragon God Spirit—truly worthy of its name.
This was none other than Tang Luochuan.
After more than two years of cultivation, even disregarding his other achievements, his Soul Power alone had long since reached the threshold of a Soul Sage.
Moreover, when condensing his Soul Rings to break through to the Soul Sage rank, he had soared straight to the 73rd level.
At this moment, seven Soul Rings—orange, orange, orange, orange, orange, green-gold, and purple-gold—radiated with immense power around him.
Five orange, one green-gold, and one purple-gold!
The first five were undoubtedly Soul Rings obtained from Ferocious Beasts over 200,000 years old, while the latter two...
"Looks like..."
"Our Luo Chuan has finished condensing his Soul Rings again."
A graceful figure instantly appeared before him, glancing casually at his Soul Rings before embracing him and speaking softly.
This was Gu Yue. Compared to before, she had blossomed into even greater beauty.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
"Gu Yue-jie beat me to it! Luo Chuan Gege is the best!"
Na'er, who had been watching from the side, immediately latched onto him as well.
"Mmm..."
"Just luck."
Tang Luochuan smiled faintly, pressing a light kiss to both their foreheads as he chuckled.
"Always so unserious..."
Hearing this, Gu Yue rolled her beautiful eyes. Luck?
Hadn't he said the same thing when condensing his Life Soul Ring last time?
"..."
"Power of Life, Destruction Divine Power... Luo Chuan, you've truly condensed a second Divine Power Soul Ring."
Not long after, in the living room, Yun Ming and Tong Yu silently observed each other's Soul Rings, unable to help but murmur in awe.
No matter how many times they witnessed it, they couldn't suppress their amazement at the sight before them.
"Hahaha, after all, I possess the inheritance of these two Godhoods. With such strong affinity, the God Power from the inheritance naturally becomes mine to wield."
Tang Luochuan glanced in their direction, smiling faintly and shaking his head, showing little surprise—even though...
Such a scene should be the rarest sight across the entire Douluo Continent.
The God of Life and the God of Destruction!
Back when he first realized he could condense Soul Rings using God Power, he had immediately made plans in this regard.
Over the past two years, while cultivating his secondary profession and studying Soul Spirit knowledge at the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, he had also independently pursued research in this area—and the results...
Were unexpectedly impressive.
The Life God Ring not only granted him immense life energy but also transformed his body into a Life God Body, allowing him to recover from near-fatal injuries as long as he still drew breath.
"Won't the energies conflict?"
Leng Yaozhu, the Deputy Pagoda Master of the Spirit Transfer Pagoda, who had remained silent until now, pursed her lips and couldn't resist asking.
Among the three present, she was the last to learn of this, having only discovered it two days prior. Witnessing all this had nearly made her jaw drop in shock.
"Deputy Pagoda Master Leng, they won't."
Hearing her question, Tang Luochuan chuckled and shook his head.
As he spoke, two opposing yet mutually restraining energies manifested in his hands—the God Power of Life and Destruction.
"The seventh Soul Ring..."
"Luo Chuan, the seventh Soul Ring forged from the God King of Destruction's power must have elevated your strength even further, right?"
At this moment, Gu Yue looked at him curiously. The Dragon God Bloodline naturally surpassed all other deities, even the God Kings.
But that didn't mean other God Kings had nothing to offer. For instance, the God Kings of Kindness and Evil possessed the power to judge the morality of gods and mortals alike.
As for Destruction and Life, they symbolized the two strongest abilities—whereas the God of Asura... truly lacked enough merits to stand out.
"The seventh Soul Skill..."
"It is indeed quite impressive."
Tang Luochuan smiled gently. In the next moment, a dark-purple staff materialized in his hand, brimming with boundless energy.
"Is that..."
"The Scepter of Destruction?"
Seeing the Divine Artifact in his grasp, Gu Yue couldn't help but marvel. The Scepter of Destruction was the companion artifact of the God King of Destruction.
Like the Asura Sword of the God of Asura or the Trident of the God of the Sea, it belonged to the tier of Super Artifacts...
And this seemed to be Luo Chuan's third Super Artifact, following the Dragon Slayer Blade and the Scepter of Life.
"Another Divine Artifact..."
Leng Yaozhu murmured beside them, while Yun Ming and Tong Yu stared intently—this was a top-tier Divine Artifact!
"The Scepter of Destruction is the polar opposite of the Scepter of Life, containing the world's most potent destructive energy. This was my first gain."
"And then..."
Tang Luochuan smiled faintly. As he spoke, a set of purple armor enveloped his entire body, rendering him indestructible.
"Armor of Destruction."
"It has two forms: lightweight and armored."
Tang Luochuan smiled as he spoke. In the next moment, the armor dissolved into purple mist, transforming into a long purple robe.
The Armor of Destruction granted immunity to all mental attacks below God-level and significantly reduced physical damage received below God-level.
"Looks like..."
"It's just as powerful as the Armor of Life."
Gu Yue took a deep breath, gently patting the robe on his body as if sensing something.
Then, she met his gaze again, seemingly waiting for the final reveal.
"And lastly..."
"Domain of Destruction."
At that moment, an overwhelming aura enveloped the entire villa. Everyone except Gu Yue felt an immense pressure bearing down from all directions.
"God's Domain."
Recognizing this aura, Yun Ming and Tong Yu immediately understood what it was. They had previously experienced the might of the Domain of Life, but...
Compared to the Domain of Life, which felt like basking in sunlight and restored vitality, the oppressive force of the Domain of Destruction was downright brutal. Even with their cultivation, they could barely withstand it.
"Domain of Destruction."
"Within its range, all positive effects are nullified. All attributes are reduced by 50%, defense drops by 60%, and damage dealt to me is further reduced by 40%."
Tang Luochuan explained with a smile.
"Luo Chuan, that's more than just 50%, isn't it?"
Leng Yaozhu couldn't help but ask.
"Well..."
Tang Luochuan laughed heartily and nodded.
"With the Armor of Destruction enhancing it, the effects increase by another 10%. But this doesn't affect you all."
He paused thoughtfully before continuing seriously.
"What do you mean?"
Yun Ming frowned in confusion. Why wouldn't it affect them?
"Because..."
"Below God-level, the effects are doubled."
Tang Luochuan said cheerfully.
Under his domain...
None could rival him.
