Di Tian looked at Su Wen, his vertical black pupils contracting.
As the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores were activated, two diametrically opposed forces of soul power erupted within his body. However, instead of canceling each other out, they stimulated one another, making Di Tian's soul power even more terrifying.
The two forces could even blend together, achieving an effect where one plus one was greater than two.
Clearly consisting of two individual units of soul power, under their mutual propulsion, both transformed into two. Then, as they layered upon each other, they actually erupted with a might that far exceeded four!
This was the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores!
A vortex emerged at two different parts of Di Tian's body, devouring the elemental energy of heaven and earth around him to sustain his massive consumption of energy.
The vast elemental energy fused into the two black holes and was refined within the numerous smaller vortexes between them, rapidly replenishing the two main vortexes.
Seeing this, Su Wen's eyes lit up.
Yes, yes, yes, exactly like that--activate it with all your might.
Boom!
Pointing his right hand to the sky, the world revolved and space shifted. It was as if the entire heaven and earth were being mobilized under Su Wen's command, pressing down toward Di Tian.
As if the heavens were collapsing and the earth was sinking, Di Tian felt the suppression of the entire world.
What kind of method was this?
The Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Cores erupted with full force.
Di Tian pushed his condition to its absolute limit, utilizing every ounce of his body's strength to resist this ubiquitous, invisible pressing force.
He slashed out once more with the Black Dragon Sword in his right hand.
Space shattered.
Yet, he was still unable to break free from this oppressive force.
At this moment, Di Tian finally realized how terrifying Su Wen was.
This guy might actually be stronger than himself...
This was his domain!
At the very beginning, the Heavenly Book World had merely unfolded and suppressed the space.
The so-called suppression of space was just a technical term; when there were no changes in space, no anomalies could be seen.
It was just like the Heavenly Pearl suppressing the small world. The small world was already approaching perfection and could exist independently; withdrawing the Heavenly Pearl would not cause spatial turbulence. However, along with an overly powerful attack striking its space, the small world's space would also shatter, triggering a violent spatial gale.
Nevertheless, under the suppression of the Heavenly Pearl, nothing unusual would typically happen, but it could enhance the structural stability of the entire small world's space.
Di Tian had failed to notice this at first.
Later on, even when he did notice it, he assumed it was merely the effect of Su Wen's domain.
However, this was not a domain.
As the Heavenly Book World integrated with the surrounding heaven and earth, this entire region of space fell under Su Wen's control.
Su Wen had only displayed the function of stabilizing space.
Yet, Di Tian only realized this just now.
"Dragon God Claw!"
Di Tian transformed back into a black dragon.
This time, however, the phantom of a black dragon appeared behind his back. The black dragon fused into his right claw, transforming it into a dragon claw that emanated a multicolored radiance.
The dragon claw tore through everything, briefly ripping apart Su Wen's small world for an instant.
Seizing this split second, Di Tian traversed through space and escaped the radiant range of Su Wen's small world.
Di Tian's expression was grave as he looked at Su Wen inside the small world, a sense of dread washing over him.
He had completely controlled that piece of space.
Thinking back on it now, Di Tian still felt a lingering fear.
How did he manage that?
Space was a power that belonged to the plane itself.
Even when a Soul Master cultivated to mobilize the power of heaven and earth to control the world, it was only a form of borrowing to a certain degree.
Even Soul Masters who had cultivated to the rank of Limit Douluo, or Soul Beasts close to the god level who had begun to master the power of laws, merely used their own insights to alter a portion of the world's operations. They could not manipulate it completely at will.
"That move just now was the Dragon God Claw passed down to you by the Silver Dragon King?" Su Wen was surprised. He hadn't expected the power level of the Dragon God Claw to be so high.
In that instant just now, Su Wen had sensed a power that was on the same level as his own Creation Holy Power.
This should be something the Silver Dragon King mastered based on her inherited instincts after the Dragon God split, right?
Furthermore, it was passed down to Di Tian across a generation.
To think it could still possess an aura of this level?
Just what level had the Dragon God reached?
Su Wen's expression grew solemn.
He had originally thought that his Creation Holy Power should be close to the limit of this world's intrinsic power, and that the same would hold true even in the universe.
As long as he fused this intrinsic power into his soul power and replenished the quantity of his soul power to reach the God-King level, he would rank among the very top even among God-Kings.
But now, it seemed he was still far off.
"The Dragon God... It looks like my upcoming negotiations with the Silver Dragon King will require a few more topics."
Although Di Tian had escaped, Su Wen did not feel any annoyance.
With a wave of his right hand, the entire space transformed into a massive millstone, devouring and grinding everything to dust.
A terrifying suction force continuously pulled the space toward it.
Di Tian kept retreating, yet his straight-line distance drew closer and closer to the millstone.
What kind of ghostly ability was this again?
Di Tian unleashed another Dragon God Claw.
The millstone remained completely unmoved. This was transformed from the Heaven-Obliterating Divine Millstone fused with the entire small world, and with the Heavenly Pearl stabilizing the small world, its durability could well be imagined. Even if your Dragon God Claw could tear through a simple layer of space, could it possibly tear through an entire small world?
"Alright, be a good boy and let me study you for a bit."
Su Wen felt a surge of power rising and was no longer in the mood to play around.
Space was within his grasp.
In an instant, Di Tian was shifted back into the small world and suppressed.
Those two soul cores, which resembled black holes, were also perceived by Su Wen through the power of space.
"Lord, save me!" Di Tian was truly shocked to his core.
Su Wen's methods could already be fully described as godlike.
However, the key wasn't that he had reached the level of a god.
It was that his methods were considered bizarre even among gods.
This degree of spatial control was at the god level, but his utilization of space surpassed the god level.
All his methods were bizarre yet carried absolute suppression, resulting in Di Tian being effortlessly suppressed despite being only a single tier apart.
Di Tian was, after all, the existence closest to a god. If it weren't for a designated godhood but simply a lifeform that had broken through to the god level, dealing with Di Tian couldn't possibly be this easy; they might not even be able to do anything to him.
Yet Su Wen could manipulate him so freely at will.
Di Tian accepted his fate.
He knew that during his recent secluded cultivation, he might have overlooked the growth of an unreasonable existence among human Soul Masters.
It was only a brief moment, yet within the small world, a long time had passed. Su Wen recorded the operational characteristics of Di Tian's soul cores and then tossed him out.
A vortex emerged and then disappeared.
Di Tian landed, kneeling down toward the Lake of Life.
"Lord, it is my incompetence."
"Di Tian, you did your best." A hollow voice echoed.
"Silver Dragon King?" Su Wen's expression shifted slightly as he felt a terrifying wave of spiritual power sweep over him.
Is this God-King level spiritual power?
Or could it be that this hasn't even reached the God-King level yet?
The God-King level did not necessarily guarantee spiritual power of the same tier. Just like when a Soul Master cultivated to Limit Douluo, their spiritual power didn't necessarily reach the limit beneath the god level.
It was the same logic.
The cultivation of a god pertained to the rank of divine power; spiritual power might not necessarily elevate to an equivalent level.
However, if one's spiritual power reached the corresponding rank, even without the matching divine power, they could still exert power of that level.
Take the Silver Dragon King for instance; if her spiritual power reached the God-King level, she was a God-King.
