"You are not from this world. I believe you possess such strength. This will be my final great gamble after living for hundreds of thousands of years as the Ice Dragon Emperor. My million-year cultivation requires a high tolerance from your body, so you must be careful."
The Ice Dragon Emperor's once dim eyes sparkled again, as if hope had been rekindled.
"Come on. When I find a God Position in the future, I will naturally bring you to Perfection." Kai nodded, agreeing to the Ice Dragon Emperor.
"Hehe, this old man trusts you, little fellow."
The Ice Dragon Emperor smiled faintly, his form transforming into a pure blue-white light, ascending like a flame.
Feeling the terrifying power rushing towards him, Kai also unleashed his Chaotic Aura, completely enveloping Qian Renxue within it, isolating her from the immense aura emitted by the Ice Dragon Emperor.
Runes of light also burst forth from Kai's entire body.
Immediately after, the space behind Kai instantly collapsed, followed by the appearance of countless stars. Above those stars, a figure stepped through the void, traversing endless Universes with a single step, landing behind Kai.
It was Kai's second martial soul.
"This is his Martial Soul... it's truly terrifying. It seems to be a real existing being, a Divinity perhaps... No, even a Divinity wouldn't possess such terrifying power."
The Ice Dragon Emperor, sensing this terrifying power, also showed a look of horror. This, in turn, made him believe that making an agreement with Kai was not out of the question.
Perhaps, in the end, he would even profit from it.
Within the dazzling blue-white light, a million years of cultivation condensed into a blue-white spirit ring, slowly descending around Kai's body.
"Boom!"
A blue-white pillar of light shot into the sky, and Kai's first six spirit rings also appeared at this moment.
Five hundred thousand year spirit rings, one golden, and one blue-white, a terrifying spirit ring configuration.
Qian Renxue, sensing the aura emanating from Kai's body, her golden pupils filled with surprise: "Kai's aura... has far surpassed the ninety-ninth rank. Now, he already possesses true Divine Rank combat power."
"Even if those so-called God Kings from the God Realm were to descend, I believe they wouldn't be Kai's match."
Qian Renxue had absolute confidence in Kai.
"Wait... what's going on..."
Qian Renxue suddenly froze, seeing that the seven spirit rings beneath Kai's feet were rapidly burning at this moment. Blue-white light swept out, as if to incinerate all the spirit rings.
"The spirit rings, why are they disappearing?!"
Qian Renxue paled with fright. Could something have gone wrong?
"No, there must not be any accidents. If he loses his spirit rings, for Kai, I'm afraid..."
Qian Renxue was extremely anxious at this moment, yet unable to do anything. She couldn't even step out of the Chaotic Aura barrier Kai had set up for her, because if she did, she simply wouldn't be able to withstand this powerful force... "My spirit rings... what's happening..."
Kai also noticed this.
However, before he could carefully sense what was happening, he perceived an anomaly in his Martial Soul, and this special sensation grew stronger and stronger, even more intense than the previous times it had appeared.
This sensation made his blood seem to boil.
And at this moment, a deep voice came.
Kai's gaze turned, only to see two figures standing in the boundless starry sky behind him.
One of them, Kai was quite familiar with.
It was his second martial soul, Desolation.
As for the other figure, Kai was a little unfamiliar, but after a brief thought, he recognized this figure.
"When I used the Chaos Splitting Axe Tool Spirit True Body, I saw this figure."
"Presumably, he is the true owner of the Chaos Splitting Axe... Great God Pangu."
Kai's heart was shaken.
Great God and Desolation had appeared here at the same time?
The two figures merely stood in that starry sky, solidifying everything, seemingly evaporating all time, causing billions of stars to collapse. And when Kai recovered, he realized this.
He was no longer on the Douluo Continent.
But it made sense. If these two existences descended at the same time, the Douluo Continent would probably turn to ashes instantly.
Suddenly, one of the figures spoke. It was Kai's second martial soul, Desolation.
"We finally meet, my other self."
Desolation spoke.
His voice shook the Great Universe, yet it also made Kai extremely shocked: "My other... self..."
Desolation's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "When you descended upon this world, I found your trace. There is a great Karma between you and me, which is why you can... through your Martial Soul... unleash my power."
"You and I are born from the Dao, our Dao fruits are endlessly intertwined, connected across endless Universes, radiating towards our very selves."
"It's just that this world is too weak. Even if I am extremely careful, I still... destroy heaven and earth..."
At this point, Kai's expression also became somewhat awkward. It turned out that the power of his second martial soul had always come from Desolation himself. However, according to Desolation, this also seemed to be his own self, after all, no matter how you put it, it was his Martial Soul.
The most fundamental thing was the power of the Martial Soul.
"The other existence within you is also true; the Sky-Opening Axe you wield is a truly terrifying weapon. The other existence within you also contains endless power, capable of annihilating everything, even I feel ashamed in comparison."
Kai's gaze fell on Great God, who was silent beside him. It seemed Great God had no intention of speaking to him.
"Hehe, both he and I have an inextricable Karma with you, but you don't need to worry about these for now."
"Through you, I have also gained some understanding of this world. Now that you have obtained your seventh spirit ring, I have appeared here to help you achieve this unique spirit ring."
Listening to Desolation's words, Kai asked: "Unique spirit ring?"
"Although your strength is that of a Soul Saint, you should, in theory, still acquire two spirit rings. However, your abilities are already powerful enough that you no longer rely on so-called spirit rings. I will help you achieve a unique spirit ring, and in the future, you will no longer need to rely on a specific spirit ring to cast a specific move."
Listening to Desolation's explanation, Kai suddenly understood: "So that's how it is. Will I still gain new Martial Soul Abilities after this?"
"Naturally. When your spirit power increases to eighty and ninety, you will still be able to comprehend new Martial Soul Abilities; it's just that you will no longer rely on spirit rings."
With that, Desolation's figure slowly dissipated.
"You and I are separated by endless time and space. I cannot descend for too long..."
Kai was stunned. Why?
"I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, this place... will collapse..."
With that, the figures of Great God and Desolation dissipated.
Kai: "..."
"Alright, alright, you two Great Gods have truly suffered." Kai shook his head helplessly..
