Chapter 26 Spirit Seal
Inside Big Dipper Academy.
"Hmm?"
Lu Xiao's usually languid expression finally changed when he heard the reward content.
He suddenly sat up from his rocking chair, his gaze like electricity, looking towards the heavenly curtain in the sky, a hint of surprise and extreme interest flashing in his eyes.
"The creation god ring's... first Seal?"
He muttered to himself.
He obtained this Martial Soul a month ago through a special check-in, and upon acquiring it, he found it was tightly bound by nine mysterious, chain-like Seals.
Even with his cultivation, he couldn't shake it in the slightest.
He hadn't expected that the heavenly curtain's reward would directly help him break the first one!
A golden light pillar, far thicker and more solid than any previous reward light pillar, seemingly composed of the purest Laws, crashed down.
It accurately poured into Lu Xiao's body!
"Buzz!"
Behind Lu Xiao, a golden creation god ring, whose magnificence and complexity were beyond words, appeared out of thin air.
The creation god ring slowly rotated, emitting a hazy yet vast aura of creation.
The most striking thing was...
Upon the creation god ring, nine chains, seemingly formed by the Laws of order, were entwined, firmly locking its power in a Seal.
At this moment, with the injection of the golden light pillar, one of the chains let out a 'crack' sound, unable to bear the burden.
Immediately after, under the shocked gaze of Ning Rongrong and others, it shattered with a crash, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating!
Just as the first Seal broke.
"Rumble!!!"
Above Big Dipper Academy, the originally clear sky was suddenly covered by endless dark clouds.
Lightning filled the sky, dancing like silver snakes, interweaving into a destructive sea of thunder.
A terrifying heavenly might, enough to make even a Titled Douluo Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, suddenly descended!
The power contained within that Lightning Tribulation seemed to want to utterly destroy this Heaven-Defying item!
"Lightning Tribulation?!"
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan had never seen such a display of heavenly power, and their faces instantly turned pale, their eyes filled with panic.
"Not good!"
Li Bai, who was tasting wine, narrowed his eyes, and the azure lotus divine sword in his hand instantly unsheathed, thousands of cyan Sword Qi shot into the sky, transforming into a giant Lotus Sword Domain.
It enveloped the core area of the entire Big Dipper Academy, isolating it from the terrifying oppressive power of the Lightning Tribulation.
"Everyone, step back!"
Li Bai shouted clearly, while looking at Lü Bu, Sikong Zhen, and others.
Lü Bu's sky piercer halberd struck the ground, and Evil Qi soared into the sky.
Sikong Zhen's body flashed with lightning, subtly forming a stance of resistance against the Lightning Tribulation in the sky... Lu Xiao looked at the sea of thunder in the sky with a solemn expression. He hadn't expected that breaking one Seal would attract a Heavenly Tribulation.
He instantly understood that he would probably have to face a Lightning Tribulation every time he broke a Seal from now on.
This made him extremely curious and eager to investigate the origin of this 'creation god ring' that he obtained through the System's check-in.
"Li Bai, just protect the academy."
Lu Xiao's voice returned to calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.
"This Lightning Tribulation arose because of me, so it should be ended by me."
Before he finished speaking, he took a step, already in mid-air.
He made a grasping motion with his right hand, and the purple-gold 'Blazing Annihilation God Slaying Sword', entwined with the Evil Qi of god-slaying and immortal-slaying, appeared in his grip!
At the same time, around Lu Xiao, a full nine Soul Rings appeared in sequence.
Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Red, Gold!
Eight red, one gold!
A Soul Ring configuration that was Heaven-Defying to the extreme!
Especially that last one, the golden Soul Ring, which exuded nobility, ancientness, and seemed to transcend the Laws of the World.
It made Ning Rongrong and the others below stare dumbfounded, their minds blank.
A golden Soul Ring?
What kind of age limit is that?
A Soul Ring above a hundred thousand years?
Lu Xiao ignored the shock below. His gaze locked onto the core of the thunder sea in the sky, and the Blazing Annihilation God Slaying Sword in his hand let out an excited hum.
"Ninth Soul skills — God Slaying!"
There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a dark golden Sword Qi, pure to the extreme, as if it could sever the Laws of heaven and earth and return all things to the Void Realm, quietly emerged from the sword tip, rising Heaven-Defyingly!
Wherever the Sword Qi passed, space silently annihilated.
The rampant lightning in the sky, as if encountering its nemesis.
It disintegrated and shattered one after another before that seemingly tiny Sword Qi.
Finally transforming into the most primitive heaven and earth energy and dissipating!
One sword, the Lightning Tribulation scattered!
The dark clouds in the sky were wiped away as if by an invisible giant hand, instantly restoring clarity.
Only Lu Xiao remained, bathed in a faint golden light, holding the God Slaying Sword, with the creation god ring, its first Seal broken, floating behind him, like a Divinity descending upon the World!
"..."
The entire Big Dipper Academy was silent.
The Lightning Tribulation appeared and vanished abruptly.
The aura of destruction came quickly and left even faster, as if it were just an accidental tremor between heaven and earth.
However, this brief but terrifying fluctuation was like a giant rock thrown into a calm lake.
Its ripples had already spread to every corner of the continent.
Stirring the nerves of all Peak powerhouses... Spirit Hall, inside the Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu's golden eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity and surprise.
His gaze seemed to penetrate layers of the Void Realm, looking far towards the Sunset Forest.
That destructive aura, which made even him, a Level 99 Limit Douluo, feel a lingering fear.
And that Sword Qi, which flashed by but was so sharp it seemed capable of severing everything... "Sunset Forest, it's that place again."
Qian Daoliu's voice carried a hint of imperceptible dryness.
"The power of lightning just now was by no means an ordinary celestial phenomenon; the destructive will contained within it even surpassed the scope of a Lightning Tribulation."
"And that Sword Qi, who was it that struck, able to annihilate it with a single sword?"
Gold Crocodile Douluo behind him also had a heavy expression.
He had just stabilized his cultivation, which had improved due to the reward, but feeling the distant fluctuation, he still had lingering fears.
"Big Brother, the appearance and disappearance of that lightning were too strange, and it just happened after the Martial Soul Ranking announced the first place, and that 'creation god ring' broke its Seal."
"The location is also in the Sunset Forest."
Qian Daoliu slowly nodded, a hint of understanding and deeper apprehension flashing in his eyes.
"Your guess coincides with mine. That Big Dipper Academy is likely hidden deep within the Sunset Forest."
"And this lightning, I'm afraid, is precisely the heaven and earth anomaly that Lu Xiao attracted when he broke the first Seal of the 'creation god ring'. As for the person who struck to annihilate the Lightning Tribulation..."
He paused, his tone carrying a deduction that even he himself couldn't fully believe.
"Aside from him, I can't think of a second candidate. Only someone who possesses that 'Blazing Annihilation God Slaying Sword' and can wield it to such a Realm can achieve such an effortless feat, breaking the tribulation with a single sword!"
"What?!"
Several of the Worshipers turned pale with shock upon hearing this.
Although they had their suspicions, the level of shock was still immense when spoken by Qian Daoliu himself.
Not only did Lu Xiao possess three Heaven-Defying Martial Souls.
His own strength had actually reached a level where he could easily contend with such terrifying heavenly might?
