Chapter 325: Shocking the World

The battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue was truly watched by the whole world, especially since a million people on the Jialing Pass battlefield could witness the fight in the sky with their own eyes.

The clash between Qian Renxue and Yang Xiong tore the heavens and split the earth, reshaping everyone's understanding of wars between Soul Grandmasters and also reshaping everyone's true perception of Soul Grandmaster strength.

In terms of power, Qian Renxue is a Hundred-Level True God and, theoretically, the strongest Soul Power Level holder in ten thousand years.

Yet Yang Xiong could, with Ninety-Eighth Level power, contend with a Hundred-Level True God—an unimaginable feat, considering that the Sword Douluo also has Ninety-Eighth Level Soul Power, yet under Qian Renxue he couldn't even block a single move.

Challenging a deity with a mortal body was previously unimaginable, and even the hidden strong ones in this world were deeply moved at this moment.

In the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest, Di Tian and the Silver Dragon King hid within the void, yet all their thoughts were focused on the great battle at Jialing Pass.

Even Di Tian was astonished at this moment: "Lord, as you predicted, this Yang Xiong actually defeated a Hundred-Level True God with Ninety-Eighth Level power; his strength is probably already above mine."

The Silver Dragon King remained silent for a while before speaking: "Qian Renxue cannot be considered a true Hundred-Level True God; her inheritance is flawed, and I don't know who tampered with it, but at least she does not yet possess genuine Hundred-Level strength."

"However, in terms of power, Yang Xiong is indeed formidable, already able to defeat Qian Renxue, and in that recent battle he likely held back; at least he did not unleash that brand-new power of his."

Di Tian said: "Lord, can mortal strength truly challenge a deity? I feel this battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue seems somewhat unreal."

The Silver Dragon King laughed: "Indeed, both sides fought earnestly yet there was no sense of a life‑or‑death struggle; there seemed an inexplicable connection between them. Otherwise, if Yang Xiong had used that Asura move at the end without any margin, they would probably have fallen together."

"Having witnessed the battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue, I now have a fresh perspective; perhaps I should also go out into the Douluo Shijie to see the world."

Di Tian was greatly alarmed: "Lord, your injuries have not healed; it is best you do not go out. If your condition worsens, I would have disgraced the entire Dragon Clan."

The Silver Dragon King laughed: "Di Tian, my strength has recovered to eighty percent. You helped me retrieve the Dragon Souls of the Ice Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King; they are among the Dragon Clan's strongest, sharing the same origin as me. After their final Dragon Soul sacrifice, although I have not yet reached my peak, no one in the Douluo Shijie can contend with me."

"Moreover, this Yang Xiong is too mysterious; the Deep Sea Demon Whale King managed to break the limit and become a god, which is equally suspicious, and I need to verify it."

"If my conjecture is correct, perhaps you also have a chance to break through and become a god after a million years; this might be the Soul Beast Clan's final opportunity."

Di Tian fell silent upon hearing this; he has long pursued becoming a god after a million years, yet due to the limits of heaven and earth, he has never found a way.

"Remember, all matters concerning the Star Dou Great Forest are now temporarily under your control; do not tell anyone about my departure."

After the Silver Dragon King finished speaking, he let out a resonant dragon roar that seemed to make the whole space tremble; then the Silver Dragon King transformed into a streak of silver light, vanished in an instant, and left the Life Lake, unnoticed even by Tang San.

Immediately thereafter, in the Star Dou Great Forest Core Zone, a silver silhouette appeared—a very beautiful little girl with long silver hair, fair skin, and violet eyes; in every respect she was a peerless beauty.

The Silver Dragon King simply strolled within the Star Dou Great Forest, and everything around her seemed undisturbed.

On Sea God Island, Tang Chen, though exceedingly aged, looked like a man on the brink of death.

Nevertheless, Tang Chen and Bo Saixi are both Level 99 Ultimate Douluo; even separated by thousands of miles, they could feel the terrifying battle scene above Jialing Pass.

Bo Saixi said: "Tang Chen, we have spent a lifetime pursuing Hundred-Level godhood, yet unexpectedly the descendants of Qian Daoliu are still a step ahead. What I never imagined is that ordinary Soul Grandmasters can challenge a deity in this world."

"I have encountered this Yang Xiong many times; his strength now exceeds my imagination by countless folds. Perhaps this is what they call the younger waves of the Yangtze pushing the older ones."

In contrast to Bo Saixi's amazement, Tang Chen now appeared unusually sorrowful.

"Bo Saixi, if my feeling is correct, I fear my grandson Hao'er has already perished, killed by the newly appointed Angel God Qian Renxue."

"In this life I have plotted so much for the Haotian Sect, for my descendants as well, yet my strength remains insufficient; I never imagined that a casual remark with Qian Daoliu back then would ultimately bring tragedy upon my Haotian Sect."

Bo Saixi quickly offered comfort: "Tang Chen, the descendants have their own opportunities and their own karmic paths. We are already old and can no longer manage so much."

Tang Chen remained silent for a long time before nodding: "Perhaps so. Now Qian Renxue has become a god, and Yang Xiong's ascension is also near. I hope my great‑grandson Tang San can become a god soon; otherwise my Haotian Sect will forever remain subjugated."

……

In the Life Lake, since arriving at this reef to cultivate, Tang San seems to have undergone earth‑shaking changes.

Especially the earth‑shaking battle between Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue has even reshaped his worldview.

Originally, Tang San considered his talent unparalleled, especially bearing the Tang Sect's supreme art, which should far surpass his peers. Even though he had always lost to Yang Xiong, he thought the gap between them was not large; as long as he worked hard and could add Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer, he would surely be able to fight Yang Xiong.

But now, judging by Yang Xiong's performance, all of Tang San's understanding has been completely overturned; his pride seemed shattered in an instant, and the advantage of his dual martial souls vanished without a trace.

Yang Xiong merely absorbed the Ninth Soul Ring and already reached the terrifying Ninety‑Eighth Level, while I have attached seven Soul Rings to the Clear Sky Hammer and, with Dark Blue Silver Grass, consumed massive Soul Power, yet I remain at Ninety‑Seven.

Tang San feels that no matter how much Soul Power or corpses he devours, he can only peak at Ninety‑Seven, and the Ninety‑Eighth Level seems unattainably distant.

Now Tang San urgently needs two Ten‑thousand‑year Spirit Rings and two Ten‑Thousand Year Soul Bones; this is also one of Luosha's assessments of him. Unfortunately, even cooperating with the Black Dragon Di Tian, Di Tian only offers protection and has not communicated with him at all, let alone help him find Soul Beasts.

Tang San also knows clearly that his power is far below Di Tian's; Di Tian's terrifying dragon might and robust body might even be beyond Qian Renxue's ability to handle.

Not to mention that within the Star Dou Great Forest's Life Lake there seem to be even more hidden secrets, far beyond what he and his great‑grandfather have seen.

Even though Tang San has entered the Life Lake countless times searching, he still cannot sense Di Tian's true dwelling; this can only indicate that there is an alternate space here, perhaps even hiding the Soul Beast Clan's deepest secrets.

At this moment Tang San's face was extremely conflicted, even appearing somewhat twisted.

"Yang Xiong, I will not lose to you; as long as I obtain two more Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Rings, I will surely become a god before you and surpass you again."

"Qian Renxue, if you dare kill my father, I will shred your body into ten thousand pieces; even if you are a deity, I will drag you down from the divine throne."

Tang San seemed to fall into madness, yet also into relentless obsession, his eyes fixed stubbornly on some spot at the edge of the Life Lake.

That place is where the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python reside; since they were attacked by Bibidong, their strength has not even recovered to half of its former level. With Tang San's current power, he could easily defeat these two Ten‑thousand‑year Soul Beasts.

But Tang San held his head and swung it countless times with all his might, as if trying to shake the thought out of his mind.

"No way, Da Ming and Er Ming are Xiao Wu's relatives; I will never hurt Xiao Wu, nor Xiao Wu's relatives, and I will never make Xiao Wu sad!"

Two conflicting thoughts seemed to battle within Tang San's mind; his face alternated between deep attachment to Xiao Wu and fierce ferocity, his body brimming with killing intent.

What Tang San does not know is that since undergoing Luosha's inheritance assessment, his Soul Power has changed, especially after absorbing massive amounts of Soul Grandmaster flesh, blood, and Soul Power, which also mixed in the grandmasters' own souls.

These souls entered Tang San's body gradually through Blue Silver Grass, not only contaminating the Dark Blue Silver Grass but also polluting the very souls themselves.

If Tang San did not possess Mysterious Heaven Skill, he would have likely already fallen into madness.

Luosha is itself a god of evil thoughts, also a god of wickedness, a subordinate of the Evil God King, representing one of the purest killings in the world, completely opposite to the order of the Asura God.

All these years, Bibidong actually reached Title Douluo rank long ago, but after devouring Qian Xunji, she did not immediately absorb a Soul Ring.

This is due to the clash between the two martial souls, and also because the whole person seemed a bit out of control; if it weren't for Spirit City, if Spirit City did not possess the world's purest Angel Divine Power, Bibidong would have gone mad long ago.

Although Tang San has Mysterious Heaven Skill, because he continuously absorbed too many Soul Rings of dark and evil attributes, Luosha's affinity has risen to an extreme, and lacking gradual development, this has led to his current predicament.

Finally, Tang San gritted his teeth, his eyes blood‑red, staring fixedly at the positions of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python, walking slowly across the Life Lake, each step seeming resolutely decisive.

"Father, mother, I will avenge you; no matter the cost, I will spare nothing."
