Chapter 344: The Fall of the Thunder Qilin
Just as Yang Xiong expected, at this moment, an incredibly eerie change occurred in his body. The soul bones of his limbs seemed to have undergone countless temperings, fully integrating with the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder, and were gradually beginning to merge into Yang Xiong's body.
However, even though the blood-red lightning began to envelop Yang Xiong's torso and head, these two areas seemed to have formed two independent worlds, possessing an innate repulsive force against external powers.
The head was relatively eerie. Half of it was already shrouded by the blood-red lightning, and a portion of the spiritual sea was even starting to be occupied by the Thunder Qilin.
But no matter how powerful the Thunder Qilin was, he couldn't do anything about Yang Xiong's torso. Even though he repeatedly injected blood-red lightning power into Yang Xiong's torso, these powers quickly turned into nothingness, as if the power had never appeared.
In Yang Xiong's spiritual world, Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue seemed to still be in a confrontation.
But in this instant, Yang Xiong suddenly snorted coldly. "Thunder Qilin, you set up this inheritance test very cleverly. A normal person might be able to pass the test of one stage, but they could not simultaneously pass the tests of the seven emotions and six desires. You seem to have grabbed onto what I feared a long time ago, but do you know that I resolved this issue a long time ago? Everything you do is just useless effort."
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. "Yang Xiong, I don't know what nonsense you are spouting. How can you be so shameless? Aren't you afraid that I'll drag you down with me to mutual destruction?"
Yang Xiong glanced at Ning Fengzhi and the Sword and Bone Douluo, his eyes shooting out an incredibly fierce aura.
"Those who trespass into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, kill without mercy!"
A terrifying sword glow instantly soared to the sky, directly rushing toward the invading crowd.
As Yang Xiong suddenly erupted, the entire war broke out instantly, and both sides began to attack their enemies.
This was an extremely cruel battle. Both sides suffered countless deaths and injuries. Even Yang Xiong's parents abruptly died in battle, and even the Sword and Bone Douluo all died.
When the war reached its final moments, the scene had already become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Only Yang Xiong, Ning Rongrong, and Qian Renxue remained standing atop endless corpses.
All of Yang Xiong's relatives, friends, and enemies fell in this battle. Even Qian Renxue spat blood as she stood opposite Yang Xiong.
At this moment, Qian Renxue appeared incredibly crazy. "Yang Xiong, this is the outcome you wanted. I could clearly feel your great joy and great sorrow just now, your fear just now, your sadness just now, and even everything related to the seven emotions and six desires. So you lost. You failed to pass the test of the seven emotions and six desires."
"You are ultimately just a mortal. You have no way to be like a god with a heart solid as a rock, and no way to discard the greed in your heart."
Yang Xiong remained completely silent, only pointing his longsword firmly at Qian Renxue.
Ning Rongrong, who was to the side, became incredibly twisted. "Qian Renxue, why did you do this? You lunatic! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to avenge my father and grandfather."
But before Ning Rongrong could continue speaking, the longsword in Yang Xiong's hand had already pierced through Ning Rongrong's body, leaving only the incomprehension in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
"Why?"
A teardrop fell from Yang Xiong's eye. It was a tear of blood. This tear seemed to be filled with endless determination.
"Qian Renxue is nothing but a front. You are the true Thunder Qilin. Only you can truly control my heart of love, and truly make me sink."
"As expected of the test of seven emotions and six desires. It really almost made me sink. Unfortunately, you don't understand Ning Rongrong at all, let alone the feelings between Rongrong and me."
With this sword strike, the sky seemed to be filled with endless red light. The whole world was dyed red by the blood-red light, like an Asura Hell.
All the corpses gradually turned to ashes, and even Qian Renxue began to gradually turn to ashes, leaving only Yang Xiong alone in this world.
And Ning Rongrong's body gradually began to change, ultimately turning into a man covered in blood-red lightning. The man's eyes were filled with endless astonishment, and even anger.
Before Yang Xiong could react, the entire world began to collapse piece by piece, and Yang Xiong returned to the original lightning pool.
At this moment, Yang Xiong rapidly sensed the changes in his body. He was indeed undergoing the test of the seven emotions and six desires, and the test to become a god was already more than half done. If he had made even the slightest mistake just now, the consequences would have been irredeemable.
And opposite him now was an extremely tall man. It was exactly the human form of the Thunder Qilin.
The Thunder Qilin spat a mouthful of blood from the corner of his mouth. "Yang Xiong, you are indeed the person I valued. I didn't expect you to break through the test of the seven emotions and six desires so easily. It seems I still underestimated you."
Yang Xiong's eyes immediately showed a cold sneer. "To become a god, a soul master needs to evolve their body into a divine body, and their soul into a divine soul. Even the spiritual sea will undergo changes. This is when a soul master is most vulnerable."
"You probably just wanted me to sink during the test of the seven emotions and six desires so that you could take the opportunity to occupy the body. Unfortunately, you miscalculated."
The Thunder Qilin let out a wild laugh. "Hahaha, it seems not only I miscalculated, but even the Asura God miscalculated. You actually know the content of the godhood test. It seems you know more than I imagined, and you even plotted against the entire world, the entire God Realm long ago."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "This isn't some plot. When a person knows a bit more, they can always maintain a certain ability to protect themselves. You went through all kinds of schemes to set your sights on me, but unfortunately you understand me too little. You only analyzed a few of my battles in the Douluo world and have no idea of my true strength."
The Thunder Qilin shouted loudly, "You are just an ant! What is the use even if you know too much? This world respects strength. I am a high and mighty God King, while you are nothing but an ordinary Limit Douluo. What do you have to contend against me?"
A look of disdain appeared in Yang Xiong's eyes. "A frog in a well. I don't even know how you became a God King, or how you managed the order of the God Realm. No wonder the Dragon God couldn't tolerate you. With this foolish look of yours, your ambition completely mismatched with your strength. No wonder you ended up in such a miserable state back then. In terms of strength and character, you are too far behind the Asura God, and you are not even as good as the Sea God."
The Thunder Qilin was furious. "Insolent! Although you passed the test of the seven emotions and six desires, your torso and head have not completely evolved. You simply haven't forged a divine body."
"Furthermore, this is my world. Even if I fail this time, I still have countless chances, while you can never leave this place. Sooner or later, you will be replaced by me."
A look of disdain appeared in Yang Xiong's eyes. "Your world? Have you mistaken something? This is no longer your world; this is my world. I will be the ruler of this world."
The Thunder Qilin said, "What nonsense are you spouting? This lightning pool was built by me. No one can break free from my control."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "You seem to have mistaken one thing. Although my inheritance test is not completely finished, you have already passed the god position to me. Even if I haven't become a god now, from now on, only I can control the Thunder God's position."
The Thunder Qilin was instantly shocked, turning into a massive phantom, and began desperately pouncing toward the Thunder God's Hammer.
But Yang Xiong's reaction was faster than his. His left hand had already firmly grasped the Thunder God's Hammer. Especially on Yang Xiong's left hand, five-colored light flashed, forcefully isolating the connection between the Thunder God's Hammer and the Thunder Qilin.
No matter how furious the Thunder Qilin was, he was instantly isolated on the outside of the Thunder God's Hammer, unable to get a step closer at all.
"How is this possible? Everything of mine is on the Thunder's Hammer. It was created by my original power. How could it be controlled by you?"
Yang Xiong laughed. "Thunder Qilin, if my guess is right, back then when you were defeated by the Dragon God, you already injected everything into this Thunder God's Hammer, including your god position and your soul bone, and even your final divine soul."
"Unfortunately, your ambition was too big. In order to take over my body, you didn't hesitate to pass the god position to me. That's why your soul left the Thunder God's Hammer, why you were so intent on merging into my body. Unfortunately, you failed!"
The Thunder Qilin was furious. "Impossible! The Thunder God's Hammer is mine. The Thunder God's Hammer and I are one. You cannot take it away from me."
As the Thunder Qilin emitted endless lightning, the Thunder God's Hammer in Yang Xiong's hand also seemed to be trembling desperately, as if ready to fly away at any moment.
However, the power that appeared on Yang Xiong's left hand was not soul power or divine power, but the Power of Creation that Yang Xiong had mastered. This was a power that surpassed the Five Great God Kings, entirely not something this wisp of a remnant soul of the Thunder Qilin could contend with.
Under this Power of Creation, the connection between the Thunder God's Hammer and the Thunder Qilin seemed to be rapidly wearing away.
In just an instant, the Thunder Qilin seemed to suffer a heavy blow. His aura began to drop sharply. Without the Thunder God's Hammer, this remnant soul of the Thunder Qilin was like water without a source, a tree without roots. He simply couldn't get energy replenishment, and couldn't maintain his peak state at all.
The Thunder Qilin roared angrily. "Even if you have mastered the Thunder God's Hammer, you cannot leave here. I built this place with the power of order. No one can break it."
Yang Xiong snorted coldly. "No wonder the Dragon God looked down on you. The so-called order is rules. Haven't you ever heard a saying? Rules are meant to be broken. If you cannot break the existing rules, then how can you become stronger?"
The Thunder Qilin's heart was shaken, and ultimately couldn't help but murmur, "Rules are meant to be broken? Then why, just because I violated the order, did the Dragon God have to act against me?"
Yang Xiong laughed. "It seems you still don't understand the reason for your failure. There is a saying that to establish, one must first break. You were just too reckless, and your IQ was too low. You only knew how to break the order, but you didn't know how to re-establish the order. When the order collapses, you are naturally the number one sinner."
As Yang Xiong's words fell, the five-colored light gradually enveloped the entire Thunder God's Hammer, and gradually enveloped the entire world.
Under the illumination of the five-colored light, even if the Thunder Qilin let out angry roars, the voice began to gradually weaken, and his figure gradually became illusory, ultimately disappearing completely from this world.
Yang Xiong looked at the Thunder God's Hammer in his hand and couldn't help shaking his head. "I forgot to tell you, above order is something called Creation. And the Power of Creation is the root of this world, the origin of all these orders."
"Even though you exhausted all your thoughts, ultimately I am the one who won. You ultimately just made a wedding dress for me!"
As this trace of the Thunder Qilin's remnant soul was worn away clean, the Thunder God truly fell.
