Chapter 340: Secrets of the God Realm
Deep in the Thunder Canyon, deep within that blood-red lightning pool, in that unique space isolated from the Douluo world.
Ever since Yang Xiong opened his eyes again, he just sat blankly in place, his entire person looking like dead wood.
At this moment, Yang Xiong's entire body seemed to have undergone a massive change. All the hair on his body stood on end, and all his hair had turned golden. His entire person looked incredibly eerie.
Yang Xiong's entire martial soul also began to change. Originally, it was just a single body martial soul, originally just a blood-red martial soul phantom. Now, lightning began to shroud the martial soul, as if this blood-red lightning was innate to it.
Through the perfect fusion of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder and his body, Yang Xiong had finally broken through to level ninety-nine.
However, Yang Xiong had broken through by forging his body again with the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder. Under the countless strikes of the blood-red lightning, his body felt reborn.
Especially Yang Xiong's two soul cores. Whether it was the strength soul core or the five-elements soul core, both spun rapidly. They seemed to have also undergone the tempering of the Heavenly Tribulation, increasing significantly in volume and even spinning much faster.
Ever since breaking through to level ninety-nine, Yang Xiong felt that his body seemed to have become an independent small world. Especially his internal organs, which seemed to have formed a complete cycle after possessing the abilities of the five elements.
Yang Xiong felt that he had become incredibly powerful now. With just a wave of his hand, he could cause heaven and earth to collapse and change the rules of this world.
The reason Yang Xiong sat withered in place was to comprehend the changes in the Douluo world, comprehend the rules of the world, and comprehend the true power of this Heavenly Tribulation Thunder.
The Heavenly Tribulation Thunder seemed to possess infinite destructive power, but after destroying everything, it seemed to be full of new life. Going round and round, amidst countless destructions and rebirths, Yang Xiong's body seemed to have undergone countless body temperings and evolutions.
When Yang Xiong opened his eyes again, he finally noticed the anomaly of this independent space, and his gaze was dead set on the Thunder God's Hammer before him.
Now, the Thunder God's Hammer no longer placed any pressure on Yang Xiong. It felt as if it could fuse with Yang Xiong at any time, as if it were innate to him.
Yang Xiong slowly stepped forward and grabbed directly with his right hand, forcefully gripping the handle of the Thunder God's Hammer.
At this moment, the blood-red lightning of the Thunder God's Hammer covered the entire space, as if letting out a massive roar, and also seeming incredibly excited.
Yang Xiong lifted the Thunder God's Hammer directly without much effort. The lightning in the entire space instantly poured into Yang Xiong's body. In an instant, his entire person was like the descent of the Thunder God.
The originally massive skeleton of the Thunder Qilin seemed to be stimulated by something. It acted as if it were alive, slowly beginning to move.
The skeleton of the Thunder Qilin stood directly up, its eyes filled with lightning. The skeleton actually emitted a voice.
"Yang Xiong, you did not disappoint me. I didn't expect you to master the Thunder God's Hammer so quickly. It seems you truly are a person of destiny. You have the qualifications to become my inheritor."
Yang Xiong said, "Thank you, Senior Thunder Qilin. This junior is endlessly grateful."
The giant Thunder Qilin laughed. "You don't need to thank me; I should be the one thanking you. Next, I will pass my god position onto you. You will be the next Thunder God, as well as the Asura God. You will be the true law enforcer of the God Realm. In the future, you could even rule the entire God Realm."
Hearing this, Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly.
"Senior, whether it's the Thunder God or the Asura God, aren't they both maintainers of the God Realm's order? Aren't they law enforcers of the God Realm? Why is there talk of ruling?"
The Thunder Qilin let out a wild laugh. "Hahaha, you should know that this world is a place where the weak are prey to the strong. Back then, I was weaker than the Dragon God, so I failed. That's why the order collapsed back then, and my soul beast clan became something to be slaughtered at will."
"But things are different now. The Dragon God has fallen. The strength of the so-called Five Great God Kings of the God Realm is just average."
"Your martial soul is special, and you have undergone countless transformations. With your current strength, you can contend against gods relying solely on your physical body. As long as you can inherit my god position, and add the Asura God's position to it, even Evil will only be a defeated opponent of yours. By then, won't the entire world be ruled by you?"
Yang Xiong's heart was shaken, but he spoke calmly.
"Senior Thunder Qilin, may I ask, what kind of person was the Dragon God? Just how strong was his power?"
A hint of displeasure seemed to appear on the Thunder Qilin's face. "Why are you interested in the Dragon God? He was my enemy, and also the enemy of the entire God Realm."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "I simply admire the strong. Throughout history, whether on the Douluo Star or in the God Realm, the Dragon God has been the strongest, and even the creator of everything. Without the Dragon God, the entire world probably wouldn't exist."
The Thunder Qilin snorted coldly. "The Dragon God indeed had strength, but his thinking was wrong. Besides, I was only a little slower than him. Otherwise, his glory would have belonged to me."
Yang Xiong smiled. "In that case, I am even more interested in the Dragon God. Of course, I am also becoming more and more interested in you, Senior. Just as you said, I will become very strong in the future, but I mainly need a goal."
The Thunder Qilin was silent for a while before speaking.
"The Dragon God was born in the Douluo world. He was the co-lord of the soul beast clan and also the founder of the God Realm. In terms of strength, he had reached an impeccable level. Compared to the so-called Five Great God Kings now, he was a full level higher. Even after I exhausted all my efforts, I couldn't reach his realm."
"Unfortunately, the Dragon God was wrong. He forgot one thing: if they are not of our race, their hearts are sure to be different."
"In order to perfect the God Realm, the Dragon God gave everyone freedom and also absorbed countless powerhouses. There were even many powerhouses who were not from the soul beast clan."
"But it was exactly these people. Although they could make the God Realm stronger, they also made the God Realm less pure. It was even polluted. Even the Dragon God himself couldn't control it and gradually fell into madness."
Yang Xiong seemed to think of something. "Senior, since the Dragon God was the strongest, why was he killed by the Five Great God Kings? Why did he fall, and why did the soul beast clan even become restricted?"
The Thunder Qilin let out a terrifying roar. "What do you know? Didn't you understand long ago? This world is a place where the weak are prey to the strong. Those false gods in the God Realm were even more selfish than the Dragon God. That's why they established the rule that the soul beast clan cannot become gods. Because of this, no matter how much the soul beast clan cultivates, they will ultimately be restricted by this world."
"This is simply killing someone's heart. Due to this rule, no one in the soul beast clan will become a god anymore, and there won't be any more powerhouses. Ultimately heading toward decline is inevitable. After all, this world favors humans more, and humans are the darlings of this world, the ultimate evolutionary form of all living beings."
"The Dragon God lost. He not only lost himself but also lost the entire soul beast clan."
Yang Xiong said, "Senior, didn't the Dragon God do this for the entire soul beast clan? Wasn't it for the whole world?"
The Thunder Qilin let out a cold laugh. "If your own race is gone, if you yourself are dead, then what is the point of this world's existence?"
"Based on the Dragon God's strength back then, even if he ultimately fell into madness, even if he was subject to various restrictions, as long as he wanted to, he could still destroy the entire God Realm. But he couldn't bear to do it, and the result was an incredibly miserable end."
Yang Xiong's expression was serious. "Since the Dragon God was so strong, is there still hope for his recovery? Or rather, is there any hope for him to stage a comeback? I wouldn't want to encounter such an enemy in the future."
The Thunder Qilin said, "What do you think the attitude of the gods in the God Realm toward the Dragon God would be? Will they let the Dragon God regain control of the entire world? They are already the supreme existences in the God Realm, the true rulers of the God Realm. Would they be willing to have someone else controlling them?"
"Furthermore, although the Dragon God didn't fall back then, he was even more miserable than being dead. Back then, he was split in two by a sword strike from the Asura God, turning into two clones. One clone was sealed and suppressed by the gods of the God Realm. With the grinding of time, it probably has no power left to break the seal, and it might even fall."
"As for the other clone of the Dragon God, because it cannot be complete on its own, its mind will probably be flawed. Sooner or later, it will be schemed against by those gods in the God Realm. When that time comes, the Dragon God will truly step into an irredeemable situation."
Yang Xiong helplessly shook his head. "Senior, looking at you, it seems you have a deep hatred for the Dragon God. Could there be other secrets in this?"
The Thunder Qilin said, "You are still too weak right now. There are some things you don't need to know. You just need to know that after you inherit my god position and the Asura God's position, your way of handling things will absolutely be the same as the gods of the God Realm. After all, only the Dragon God can truly affect the position of the God Kings, and only he can truly destroy the whole world."
At this moment, Yang Xiong's heart was incredibly shocked. He realized that the Thunder Qilin in front of him didn't seem as selfless as he claimed, nor was he omniscient, and it seemed he was hiding some important things from him.
If Yang Xiong hadn't come from the Blue Star, if Yang Xiong didn't already know the greatest secret of the entire Douluo world, he probably would have miscalculated.
And the Thunder Qilin continued speaking.
"Yang Xiong, you have now reached level ninety-nine, and all the soul rings and soul bones on your body have been fully equipped. Next, I will pass my Thunder God position onto you. By then, you won't need to endure like this, nor will you need to worry about anyone else. You can easily kill anyone you want to kill."
Yang Xiong bowed slightly. "Thank you, Senior. I will definitely not let you down."
The Thunder Qilin then nodded. Next, the massive skeleton of the Thunder Qilin flashed with endless lightning. Especially that pair of blood-red eyes, which shot out a beam of blood-red lightning, swiftly wrapping around Yang Xiong's entire body.
However, before the Thunder Qilin could react, Yang Xiong instantly drew the Asura Demonic Sword. A murderous aura instantly enveloped the entire space. Especially that terrifying murderous aura, which directly shrouded the giant skeleton of the Thunder Qilin.
