Chapter 306: The Power of Creation
At this point, Yang Xiong wasn't sure just how powerful he had become. Since absorbing the ninth soul ring of the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, he had completely mastered the water attribute energy.
Over the years, Yang Xiong had absorbed various soul rings with different attributes, including gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and the five elements. In addition, he had absorbed dark, lightning, and Asura attributes, all of which had gradually integrated with his body.
When he first absorbed the soul rings for gold, wood, fire, and earth attributes, his internal organs were greatly enhanced.
The wood attribute corresponded to the liver, which has characteristics related to growth, upward movement, and smooth flow, aligning perfectly with the wood attribute's vigorous life force.
The fire attribute corresponded to the heart, which has characteristics like warmth, ascension, prosperity, and flourishing, matching fire's scorching and aggressive nature.
The earth attribute corresponded to the spleen, which is responsible for the processes of nourishment, receiving, and bearing, corresponding to the earth's role in sustaining life and providing stability.
The gold attribute corresponded to the lungs, which are related to contraction, descending, gathering, and cleansing, much like the gold attribute's characteristics of purification and suppression.
Now, after absorbing the last pure attribute soul ring, Yang Xiong had finally mastered the water attribute, which corresponds to the kidneys. The kidneys are characterized by coldness, nourishment, downward movement, and storage, aligning with water's ability to nourish all things.
Now that he had fully mastered the five elemental energies, the internal organs in his torso seemed to have undergone a transformation. All his internal organs seemed to be greatly enhanced, and they responded to one another, creating a huge cycle.
In this cycle, the organs interacted and promoted each other, like an endless life force, indestructible and immortal.
When Yang Xiong once again formed the Spiraling Sphere, he combined the five elemental energy attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—into the sphere. The energy inside the sphere was initially composed of five colors.
But under the combination of the Spiraling Sphere, the five energies mysteriously fused into one cohesive entity, condensing into a reddish-gold energy. This energy appeared bizarre and violently powerful.
When this reddish-gold energy appeared, it seemed to contain an incredibly terrifying force. The space around him seemed to tremble, and even with Yang Xiong's enhanced physical body, after mastering this power, his body seemed to be struggling to contain it.
Especially when Yang Xiong infused his mental power into this reddish-gold energy, his entire mind shifted. It felt as though he had entered an independent space, a place where nothing existed, just an initial void.
However, this space quickly began to change. An extremely desolate sphere emerged, and it gradually began to change, slowly giving birth to the five elemental attributes—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Under the influence of these five elemental attributes, small lifeforms began to appear. These creatures resembled dust or particles. As various things emerged, the ground and ocean quickly appeared, followed by the growth of plants and the birth of soul beasts.
With the proliferation of life, the space seemed to exceed its capacity, and it gradually began to decay, eventually turning into nothingness.
By the time Yang Xiong regained his focus, the Spiraling Sphere in his hands had dissipated, having exhausted its energy.
In that short span of time, it felt as though Yang Xiong had witnessed the origin of life and the end of the world.
Yang Xiong was fully aware that the power he had in his Spiraling Sphere was terrifying. Though it lasted only a few seconds, it seemed capable of destroying everything, surpassing even the rules of the Douluo world.
In the Asura God Palace in the divine realm, both the Asura God and the Sea God were staring intently at the light screen, which displayed the Spiraling Sphere in Yang Xiong's hands.
Even the Asura God and the Sea God were exceptionally serious at this moment. Clearly, the power in Yang Xiong's hands had shocked both of them.
The Sea God swallowed and said, "Asura God, what is this power? Why do I feel like it might even surpass my Vast Sea Power?"
The normally serious Asura God actually laughed at this rare moment. "Sea God, it seems I underestimated Yang Xiong. I initially thought that when he achieved mastery over the five elements, he might reach god-level power, but now he's even stronger than I imagined."
"This power of his is not ordinary. It is the Creation Power that we have sought for so long in the divine realm. Creation Power surpasses even the God Kings' power. It is the strongest power known to us."
"However, Yang Xiong is still too weak. His soul power level is too low, and the Creation Power he holds is only temporary. If he ever reaches godhood, he might become unimaginably strong."
The Sea God's expression changed slightly. "Asura God, does this mean that the rules of the divine realm might be broken?"
The Asura God sneered. "So-called rules and order are always subject to change. Just like the rules from hundreds of thousands of years ago no longer apply, the divine realm has its own flaws. If Yang Xiong can enter the divine realm, perhaps he can solve these hidden dangers once and for all."
"Of course, because Yang Xiong has mastered the power of five elements, his internal organs will gradually change. Although the Creation Power is weak, it will gradually improve his body. Even if I don't pass on the Asura God's position to him, he will eventually ascend to godhood on his own. By that time, even the divine realm's rules might not be able to stop him."
After the Asura God finished speaking, he left the Asura God Palace. The appearance of Creation Power in the Douluo world was too significant, and it was not something he could handle alone.
...
After Yang Xiong and the others dealt with the Deep Sea Magic Whale King's affairs, they quickly returned to the ship at the outer edge of the Magic Whale Sea Area.
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King's corpse attracted countless soul beasts, and the Magic Whale Sea Area was about to experience a new and bloody battle, seemingly proving the saying that "when a whale falls, all things are born."
The captain sighed in relief when he saw Yang Xiong and his group return. After all, they were all individuals with black-level authority or higher from Sea God Island, and their status was high among Sea Soul Masters. If anything had gone wrong, they would have been considered sinners among the Sea God's followers.
The ship quickly left the Magic Whale Sea Area and headed straight for Sea God Island.
Ning Rongrong and the others were incredibly excited. This time, they had gained a lot. Each of them had made considerable progress, and several of them were close to reaching the Titled Douluo threshold.
When they arrived at Sea God Island, to their surprise, Poseisi herself came to greet them.
Yang Xiong and the others quickly bowed in greeting, "Greetings, Sea God Douluo!"
Poseisi said, "Yang Xiong, the Sea God has delivered a divine edict. I know the purpose of your visit, and I hope you will succeed."
After speaking, Poseisi looked directly at Shui Bing'er. "Shui Bing'er, please present the Sea God's Heart."
Shui Bing'er glanced at everyone and then resolutely stepped forward. The Sea God's Heart, which had already merged with her body, flew out from her forehead.
At that moment, the Sea God's Heart began emitting a bright blue light. The seven holy pillars of Sea God Island also shone with light, and a beam of blue light enveloped Shui Bing'er's entire body. The light changed from yellow to blood red and finally transformed into the mark of the Sea God's Trident, which integrated into Shui Bing'er's forehead.
At this moment, even Poseisi bowed slightly, "I greet the Sea God's inheritor."
The others around them also bowed to Shui Bing'er. It was clear that from now on, Shui Bing'er would hold an incredibly high status on Sea God Island.
Poseisi continued, "Miss Shui Bing'er, you must now complete the Sea God Island's test once more. This time, it's the Red-level Nine Trials. No one else can assist you anymore."
"So, you must give it your all, for yourself and for Sea God Island. If you fail, the entire Sea God Island will face disaster."
Shui Bing'er's expression was serious. "Senior, I will give my all to complete the Sea God's inheritance trials and not disappoint you or the Sea God."
After the conversation, Poseisi turned to look at Yang Xiong. Although she could feel that Yang Xiong's soul power was at level 98, she couldn't sense the gap between them. Yang Xiong seemed to surpass Poseisi in both physical strength and mental power, especially with the Asura Demon Sword in his hands, which made Poseisi feel immense pressure.
Yang Xiong said, "Poseisi, I wish to meet with the Sea God. Please arrange it."
Poseisi nodded. "The Sea God has delivered a divine edict. Please come with me to the Sea God Palace."
Everyone was very familiar with Sea God Island, and the others went to Seahorse City, leaving only Yang Xiong to follow Poseisi toward Sea God Mountain.
When they arrived at the Sea God Palace again, everything around seemed to have changed. The feeling of something being untouchable and above them was no longer present.
A towering figure appeared in the Sea God Palace. "You've arrived!"
Yang Xiong bowed slightly. "Greetings, Sea God. I have come to seek guidance on a few matters."
The Sea God nodded. "You are the inheritor of the Asura God, speak freely."
Yang Xiong's soul power flickered, and a deep blue figure appeared around him. It was the Deep Sea Magic Whale King, now in his transformed dragon form.
The two former enemies met, but there was no animosity between them. In fact, they seemed more harmonious than expected.
The Sea God spoke first. "Deep Sea Magic Whale King, it's been tens of thousands of years. I never thought you would succeed."
The Deep Sea Magic Whale King responded, "Sea God, aren't you disappointed? After all, I have become a god. Even though I am dead now, I am the true Sea God."
The Sea God smiled. "Deep Sea Magic Whale King, you still don't understand. Although you were able to enhance your body limitlessly and reach god-level through other means, being a god is not so simple. The power a god wields is not as straightforward as you think."
"Moreover, after tens of thousands of years, I've grown tired of this existence in the divine realm. A god may have endless lifespans, but after living for so long, I've come to realize that the divine realm is a massive prison. I hope you don't regret this."
