Chapter 123 Second Awakening of Innate Gold Level
Tens of thousands of meters above the sky, amidst the clouds, a certain divine enforcer watching this scene became noticeably unsteady on his breath, his hand gripping the golden trident clenched tightly.
"You—!" Bei Bei's blood surged, and the true energy she had been holding onto with the pride of the Tang Sect suddenly dissipated. Her face turned from black to red, then from red to white, and finally she could not hold on any longer and fainted.
Naturally, he was also sent off the stage by a beam of starlight from the Heavenly Fiend Douluo.
Lost again?
The audience was somewhat bewildered. What they had anticipated as a showdown seemed to have turned into a solo performance by Kong Tianxu. Initially, only a minority supported Kong Tianxu, but as Shrek Academy faltered, the cheers from both sides gradually became a back-and-forth affair.
However, it seemed that this was the second time they had heard the term "Tang Sect." The first time was when the young man from Shrek Academy, who was pretending to be a six-red-ring Soul Emperor, called himself that before his defeat, and now, given the current situation, it was also a new one.
In the minds of countless viewers, the name "Tang Clan" has taken on a somewhat comedic connotation.
"Second Brother."
Yu Tao glanced at Lang Ya, who was frowning, and seeing that the other party was ignoring him, he gently poked Lang Ya's swollen arm, which had expanded several sizes.
"hiss--"
—
Langya slapped him back.
"Quiet, I'm thinking!"
Kong Tianxu slowly walked to the center of the arena, his cold gaze sweeping towards the Shrek team's waiting area. He raised his right hand, extending his index finger and pointing at the group in the waiting area. He said coldly, "Next."
Shrek Academy forfeits the remainder of the individual competition!
Wang Yan shouted, his neck stiff.
He seemed to have just had a heated argument with the other Shrek members; he tugged at his slightly tight collar, his entire body flushed red from neck to face.
In the Shrek rest area, Ma Xiaotao finally stood up, and her whole demeanor seemed to have undergone some kind of change.
Are you sure?
Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, frowned and asked.
"Sure."
Huo Yuhao looked at Bei Bei, who was still twitching slightly, with an extremely cold expression.
Seeing this, Tian Sha Douluo said no more and loudly announced: "After confirmation by this referee, Shrek Academy forfeits the remaining individual matches and concedes defeat. Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wins. Both sides will rest for one minute, and then the 2-2-3 battle will begin. Since neither side has enough remaining players to complete three matches, if the first two matches end in a tie, the third match will be decided by reserve players who did not participate in the individual elimination rounds."
Trying to limit my performance? Too bad, you've got your hopes up.
"We no longer need to use the two-two-three strategy."
Kong Tianxu's words astonished everyone present. He did not use a megaphone, but his majestic voice, like the clang of metal on metal, resounded throughout the entire arena: "I alone will take on all three of you. One battle will decide the outcome."
After two warm-up sessions, he has basically digested the gains from this enlightening deep meditation, and now he is at an unprecedented peak!
One against three, so what?
He looked in the direction of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, and led by Cain, each of them pounded their fists heavily on their hearts, their eyes even showing a hint of fanaticism: "Victory is certain!"
Kong Tianxu's lips curled into a cold smile as he looked at Shrek Academy again: "You dare to accept the challenge?"
"You will eventually pay the price for your arrogance."
Huo Yuhao stepped onto the competition stage first, followed closely by Wang Dong. Ma Xiaotao was the last to step onto the stage but stood at the very front, her beautiful eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions.
One against three! The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy wins against three opponents!
The Heavenly Fiend Douluo's gaze swept over both sides. This final battle was finally nearing its end. Even with his cultivation level, he felt somewhat fatigued from maintaining such high concentration.
"The match begins!"
Neither side took immediate action; Kong Tianxu didn't want to move, while Ma Xiaotao was unable to.
Behind her, Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong had already begun their Martial Soul Fusion at some point. The golden light of the Hao Dong Power flowed across their surfaces, and the trident symbol on Wang Dong's forehead appeared and disappeared intermittently. Huo Yuhao's body was also enveloped in a faint gray light, but under the cover of that golden light, no one but himself could see it clearly.
However, the audience's attention had already been drawn elsewhere.
Immediately following Tian Sha Douluo's announcement that the match had begun, Kong Tianxu's spirit ring, which had not been revealed since his appearance that day, finally appeared.
As five soul rings—three purple and two black—rose, a more ethereal silver dragon phantom than ever before appeared behind him. A dreamlike seven-colored radiance enveloped the entire arena, yet within the illusion, there was an aura of majesty that seemed capable of suppressing the eternal.
At this moment, he pushed the unity of heaven and man to its extreme. The protective shield set up by the four titled Douluo was even tinged with a layer of seven-colored radiance. Even the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, who was in the center of the arena, subconsciously took a step back under this pressure.
Just as Ma Xiaotao was at the peak of this oppressive aura and released her Phoenix Fire Wings to take off, she was forced back to the ground amidst the mournful cries of the phantom fire phoenix behind her.
The difference is unbelievable!
Yes, it is that big.
Having reached the state of oneness with heaven and man, it doesn't really matter to Kong Tianxu whether he uses soul skills or not; he himself is the strongest soul skill.
Moreover, imposing aura, especially for dragons, becomes one of the strongest attack methods once it reaches a certain level.
Kong Tianxu walked slowly forward, and Ma Xiaotao’s six spirit rings flashed one after another. Her phoenix wings were almost spread to their maximum size, trying their best to maintain the stability of the surrounding area under Kong Tianxu’s pressure. However, the dark red color belonging to the Evil Fire Phoenix was still shrinking at a visible speed.
"Give up. You are no match for me now. There's no point in continuing to resist."
Kong Tianxu didn't move his lips, but Ma Xiaotao still heard his voice.
She seemed to have heeded Kong Tianxu's advice, and the flame domain around her began to shrink inward, but her eyes remained incredibly calm.
When the dark red light of the Evil Fire Phoenix shrank to just enough to envelop her and Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong behind her, she opened her arms.
Crimson light began to shoot outward from her legs, arms, and even her entire body, while the phoenix fire wings behind her shone with an extremely brilliant red light, and within the intense heat, there was also a trace of coldness flowing through them.
This chilling aura continued to intensify, and when it intertwined with the Radiant Ash Soul Bone on her left arm, it surged even more dramatically. The darkness in her peach-red eyes deepened, and the crimson phoenix light and shadow visibly darkened.
Her aura also increased at an astonishing speed during this transformation, and the phoenix flames that were originally firmly suppressed around her body began to expand outward with the unwilling cries of the phoenix light and shadow behind her.
She is absorbing her own source of evil energy.
Kong Tianxu's gaze turned cold, and he did not continue to increase the oppressive power of the dragon's might. Since Ma Xiaotao was willing to lose her mind to fight against him, then he had no need to show mercy.
With a slight thought, all the seven-colored brilliance receded and merged into the silver dragon's phantom image.
Suddenly freed from suppression, Ma Xiaotao let out a loud phoenix cry.
Flames erupted from her hands and legs at the same time, and the phoenix phantom behind her instantly merged with her body. At this moment, she was truly a fiery phoenix. With a flap of her wings, she rushed straight towards Kong Tianxu!
But how can the evil phoenix suppress the true dragon?
Behind Kong Tianxu, the silver dragon let out a deafening roar!
An unprecedented seven-colored light enveloped half of the arena. Kong Tianxu, carrying a seven-colored dragon shadow that was smaller but several times more solid than the evil fire phoenix transformed by Ma Xiaotao, charged straight at his opponent, his dragon claws gleaming coldly.
Before the two even collided, the impact of the blazing evil fire and the raging elemental energy had already caused the arena to crack inch by inch. The crazy fluctuations of soul power turned the center of the arena into chaos, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening.
Just as they were about to collide, Ma Xiaotao made a strange move. She placed her right hand on her left arm, and the blazing dark red flames instantly condensed, transforming into a black phoenix that shot out like lightning.
At the same time, the clothes on her left and right arms had completely disappeared, revealing a pair of arms as red as embers, with countless dark lines spreading towards her heart on her right arm.
The intent of the Phoenix Evil Flame, the second soul skill Phoenix Reborn in Flames, the third soul skill Phoenix Piercing Clouds Strike, the right arm soul bone skill Phoenix Explosion Strike, plus the strongest brilliance embers, five powers are compressed into one through Shrek's secret technique.
Seeing this incredibly ruthless and deadly attack, Kong Tianxu, who was about to summon the Frost Snow Seal, froze for a moment.
Because the black phoenix wasn't aiming at him, but instead flashed past him and flew into the sky.
The dragon claws that were originally aimed at Ma Xiaotao's vitals withdrew, and Kong Tianxu, who had returned to human form, caught the hot body that was like a swallow nestling in his arms, his eyes stern.
Ma Xiaotao's eyes, which had originally shone with the light of flames, had turned as black as ink, with a few glittering specks within them. Yet she still stubbornly stared at Kong Tianxu, and a strange dark red mist began to rise from the phoenix light and shadow.
No, that's not light mist, it should be flames, burning flames.
The flames did not seem to be harmful, but they bound the two people's bodies tightly like chains.
"It's just a competition, is it necessary to burn yourself out? Besides, this will only trap me; do you think the other two could pose any threat to me?"
"I can't bring myself to hurt you, but I also can't let down the academy for nurturing me. This is the best solution I can think of."
"The Fiery Phoenix does not possess the rebirth power of the Radiant Phoenix; you are likely to die."
Ma Xiaotao was in tears. She seemed to want to say something, but her words were broken as her mind oscillated between clarity and confusion: "Be careful—"
Kong Tianxu slapped down, and Ma Xiaotao suddenly came to her senses, her eyes widening.
This spot is exactly the same as when Kong Tianxu first placed the Frostbite Mark on her.
Her face flushed red: "Here? You—you're really bold."
"Since it's come to this anyway, let's go for it. Remember to cover yourself up well; I'd rather die than be seen by anyone."
Kong Tianxu was speechless. This woman seemed to have been driven a little crazy by him, but then, the power from his hand made Ma Xiaotao's eyes burst with unimaginable brilliance.
The extreme ice of the Frostbite Snow Seal, under his incredibly precise control of the elements, transformed into fire.
Ma Xiaotao's burning wasn't just a simple burning of soul power and life force; otherwise, he could have easily interrupted it. It also contained the evil energy of her martial soul.
This burning is almost irreversible, but there is another way: to awaken her martial soul origin and unleash a power strong enough to reverse everything.
With Ma Xiaotao's deliberate absorption of the evil energy of her martial soul's origin and the catalysis of the glorious ashes soul bone, her Evil Fire Phoenix martial soul has already shown signs of mutation. What Kong Tianxu is doing now is to push things along and add the final fuel to the fire.
At this moment, all the evil energy suppressed within the Frost Snow Seal over the years was ignited. Under the obsession in Ma Xiaotao's heart and the deliberate guidance of Kong Tianxu, her martial soul underwent a tremendous mutation and sublimation.
Among phoenixes, the fire phoenix naturally possesses the purest bloodline. However, the fire phoenix is not the only one.
Although Ma Xiaotao possesses a portion of the Fire Phoenix bloodline, it is neither pure nor complete. Furthermore, the influence of the evil aura further complicates matters; under these circumstances, she can never truly be a Fire Phoenix.
However, at that very moment, the bloodline within her body, fueled by evil energy and darkness, transformed into the dark side of the Fire Phoenix clan—the Black Fire Phoenix—filled with despair and violence, possessing endless destructive and annihilating intent.
The ultimate dark flame appeared in this world for the first time in the form of a martial soul.
Stupid woman, you've been brainwashed by Shrek so deeply. Just wait until I peel off Shrek's fake skin, and then I'll give you a good re-brainwashing.
With a hint of punishment, Kong Tianxu grabbed the object several times, still not satisfied, and kneaded it repeatedly before finally dispelling the elemental tide that concealed its form.
Outside, the hurricane-like elemental frenzy was nearing its end, and a certain part of the soul power shield that the black fire phoenix was about to scorch was gradually recovering.
Who's winning?
The smoke and fog dissipated.
Kong Tianxu stood in the center of the competition stage, and in his arms, Ma Xiaotao, who had changed her clothes, slept peacefully.
Xingluo Square gradually quieted down, and most of the Xingluo audience seemed to still find it hard to accept the result.
Shrek, did they lose after all?
"Shrek will never lose!"
The instant Kong Tianxu revealed himself, a beam of light mixed with blue, purple, and gold shot out from the giant vertical eye, and the dazzling and distorted pale gold color transformed into a golden path that poured down!
Kong Tianxu's figure instantly turned golden, the silver light faded, and his soul ring disappeared.
The Golden Road, a martial soul fusion skill that can strip away the power of a martial soul, finally hit Kong Tianxu right under Huo Yuhao's various schemes!
On the Shrek Academy's side of the competition stage, the golden light surrounding Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong could no longer conceal their true colors!
At that moment, everyone heard a deep, multi-syllable chant. It was a sound following a special frequency and rhythm, its majesty conveying a sense of supreme grandeur. The entire competition stage trembled with the rise and fall of the chant.
Huo Yuhao's pale golden eyes turned into a deathly gray, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of eternity. Even more strangely, a gray soul ring filled with an aura of annihilation rose from beneath his feet, leaving behind a series of afterimages, making it impossible to discern its number.
The chanting had clearly been going on for a long time, and it reached an incredibly high pitch the moment it appeared!
The chanting abruptly stopped, and an aged voice, carrying an indescribable majesty, rang out: "Holding the sun and moon in my hands, plucking stars from the sky, I am selfless in this world."
"That kind of person."
Just then, the sky, which had been perfectly clear a moment before, suddenly darkened.
Kong Tianxu expressionlessly threw Ma Xiaotao off the stage. He didn't move because at this moment, the entire arena had turned into a transparent gray, and he had been completely locked in place.
Countless golden points of light condensed into a dazzling brilliance like stars, and a very blurry figure emerged from the void. The figure wore a gray robe with exquisite patterns, had white hair and a white beard, and exuded a sense of antiquity and profundity.
At this moment, on the competition stage, although the transparent gray mass did not have any powerful aura, everyone felt suffocated by it. The protective shield constructed by the four titled Douluo had completely turned gray. Surrounded by this gray swamp, Tian Sha Douluo felt unable to move or think, filled only with fear and horror.
What is that?!
At this moment, everyone was stunned, whether it was top experts like Mu En, Long Xiaoyao, Ye Xishui, and Kong Deming, or knowledgeable soul masters like Xu Jiawei, the Body Sect, the Sun Moon Team, and Shrek Academy.
Electrolux!
Kong Tianxu's gaze grew increasingly cold; completely enveloped in the gold of the Golden Road, he resembled a golden sculpture.
A deafening roar of cheers suddenly erupted from the audience!
They don't understand what this means, but that doesn't affect Shrek Academy's continued undefeated legend, their defeat of the monstrous Supreme Dragon of the Sun Moon Empire, and their ascension to the championship!
"Young friend, I am the Holy Law God of the Necromancers, the Calamity of the Undead. Your talent is unparalleled in my life, but you may not know the story of this child I have entrusted with my life. He has a reason to win, and even I am moved by it. Although it is only a projection summoned through special means, you should be able to feel my power. Surrender now. The methods I can think of now are probably beyond your ability to withstand."
Within Kong Tianxu's spiritual sea, Electrolux's weathered voice echoed from an unknown source.
At the same time, a heavy, almost tangible pressure began to strike wildly. The surging grayness cracked the arena, and the dark clouds grew thicker, almost like a natural disaster.
Huang Jinxu, the Heavenly Fiend Douluo, could barely stand up straight. Even a Title Douluo couldn't withstand such pressure from a demigod's will!
"Electrolux?"
Kong Tianxu suddenly laughed and spoke indifferently amidst the pure white spiritual sea swirling with cyan, purple, and gold.
Electrolux was slightly taken aback.
Kong Tianxu raised his right arm and pointed forward.
From the outside, his body is also pointing forward.
"Looks like you're just as foolish. It was a wise decision not to choose you."
The sea of his mind instantly boiled, and the golden light that was originally just an embellishment suddenly solidified into a tangible substance. That moment of brilliance even made Electrox's mind tremble!
With a jolt of his mind, Electrolux realized that he had been forcibly expelled from Kong Tianxu's spiritual sea. Although he was slightly surprised, he saw that blood was seeping from Huo Yuhao's mouth and nose outside, and he knew that his time was running out.
He raised his hand, and gray light condensed, and the chanting began again.
Xingluo Square was already a sea of cheers.
Endless noise, clamor, and folly.
Amidst the overlapping, ocean-like waves of sound, a point of golden light shone from the fingertip of Kong Tianxu's right hand, whose entire body was covered in gold.
This golden light was extremely subtle, yet incredibly pure. It wasn't the gold of the Golden Path, nor the pale gold of the Myriad Beginnings Returning to Origin Domain, but a pure, radiant gold, as brilliant as gold itself.
This golden color appeared before when he faced the last few members of the Xuanming Sect in the Star Dou Great Forest, and it also appeared before he killed the Bloodthirsty Demon Bear Soul Saint in a desperate situation when Xu Tianran was surrounded and attacked.
Wasn't his martial soul sealed by my Golden Path? What is this? How can there be pure golden soul power?!
Huo Yuhao's body trembled more and more, and he felt an inexplicable fear from that golden light.
The second point, the third point, thousands upon thousands of points, and endless golden light!
Centered on Kong Tianxu, endless golden light no longer appeared in specks, but exploded continuously like burning flames!
The light was so intense and so pure that it instantly devoured all the other colors on half of the competition stage, even forcing back and purifying the pervasive deathly gray light!
"Snap!"
A tooth-grinding cracking sound pierced everyone's eardrums. The competition platform, made of cast alloy, was like fragile glass, first covered with spiderweb-like cracks, and then, with a roar, it completely split open from the middle!
The golden light and the gray light were locked in a stalemate, each vying for supremacy. Tian Sha Douluo stood between the two, suspended in mid-air. He had just recovered some of his mobility from the cold gray light and was about to escape when he was struck by the overwhelming power of the blazing sun, and was once again frozen in place.
Golden light danced in the air, converging into a terrifying pillar of light that shot skyward! The protective shield erected by four Title Douluos was pierced right through by this pillar of light!
As the clouds dispersed, the golden rays of the sun shone down upon the world once more. The delicate strands of sunlight intertwined with the golden pillar of light, creating a wondrous spectacle that seemed to connect heaven and earth.
The side where Kong Tianxu was located, bathed in sunlight, resembled a divine realm, clearly distinct from the gray area.
Kong Tianxu stood pointing to the sky, in this earthly divine kingdom where a golden pillar soared into the heavens, and his lips moved as if the heavens and earth spoke in unison: "Shut up!"
The aura that was several times stronger than the oneness of heaven and man during the explosion!
Behind him, the intense golden light was no longer condensing, but worshipping! It surged wildly toward a single point, and a huge human figure gradually took shape.
The figure was tall and imposing, with short, neat hair as if cast in gold. Judging from his appearance, he resembled Kong Tianxu by at least eight parts, or rather, he was Kong Tianxu as he grew up. However, his eyes were closed, faintly revealing a golden halo, making him look like a solemn and dignified deity.
At this moment, every bone, internal organ, flesh, meridian, and even the brain and sea of spirit of Kong Tianxu became identical, a golden color that could no longer contain anything else, radiating a brilliant golden light like the sun.
On the viewing platform, Lang Ya and Yu Tao exchanged a trembling glance: "The real body!"
The two appeared overjoyed, but then both frowned and fell silent, lost in thought.
Moon leaned back heavily in his chair, sighing inwardly, "Innate level—Gold level."
In the Shrek Academy rest area, Xuanzi's mouth gaped open, seemingly oblivious to the chicken leg that fell from his hand: "Second Awakening?!"
This golden light is certainly not from the Origin of All Things.
Rather, it is the second awakening of the main body's martial soul, the most top-level and most powerful form, and an unprecedented innate gold-level second awakening!
At this moment, hundreds of thousands of people on Xingluo Square were either shocked, angry, happy, or sad.
However, beneath this golden divine shadow, which seemed to be forged by the very heavens, all was silent!
Their words carry the weight of the law, and their pronouncements are lawful; this is the essence of it all.
