Ma Hongjun's demand for the corpse of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm immediately provoked the hostility of the ferocious beasts.
They naturally disagreed, releasing their soul power and preparing for a battle with Ma Hongjun.
Especially Di Tian, whose relationship had just eased, immediately turned hostile towards Ma Hongjun.
Only Di Tian knew the importance of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's body to the soul beasts.
It was the key to whether the Soul Beast Lord could be resurrected.
The tension between the two sides tightened again, as if a battle was imminent.
Suddenly, waves rippled in the Lake of Life, and a dragon covered in dazzling silver flew out.
"Dragon God!"
Di Tian exclaimed with joy upon seeing the silver dragon, and the other ferocious beasts also sensed the Silver Dragon King's beastly might.
"The Dragon God is gone, I am no longer the Dragon God,"
the silver dragon said softly, its voice surprisingly melodious, like a beautiful woman's voice.
Ma Hongjun looked at the silver dragon in astonishment. This was the most beautiful soul beast he had ever seen; even the rabbit Xiao Wu and the swan Bi Ji were not as sacred and ethereal as it.
Except for humanoid soul beasts like the Snow Empress.
He could sense a powerful divine might emanating from the silver dragon.
"This is... the former Dragon God... no, not just a portion of the Dragon God's divine might,"
the dragon soul whispered in Ma Hongjun's mind.
Ma Hongjun knew of the Silver Dragon King's existence; she was an avatar of the Dragon God after his split, possessing the Dragon God's creative divine spark, control over various attributes, and most of his spiritual power.
However, Ma Hongjun hadn't expected the Silver Dragon King to emerge from seclusion at this time; she should have remained hidden for tens of thousands of years. But
Ma Hongjun noticed that the Silver Dragon King's body was somewhat transparent and ethereal. Although her divine might was strong, it seemed to be only superficial.
She probably hadn't recovered and was in a very weak state.
Ma Hongjun's heart eased. Although he didn't know if the Silver Dragon King would harbor hostility towards him, he still had to prepare for the worst.
After all, she was a soul beast!
The Silver Dragon King's beautiful purple eyes met Ma Hongjun's gaze.
With just one glance, Ma Hongjun began to doubt himself.
"Why would I be interested in a dragon?"
Ma Hongjun quickly stopped his daydreaming. He preferred humans, not beasts; his orientation couldn't be wrong.
"Dragon Soul, she seems to have discovered you!"
The Silver Dragon King stared intently at Ma Hongjun, as if none of his secrets could escape her notice.
Dragon Soul appeared, its body a blue icy crystal, unlike the Silver Dragon King's, each possessing its own unique characteristics—one pure and icy, the other silvery and holy.
"I want to cooperate with you," the Silver Dragon King said calmly.
She opened her mouth and spat out a crystalline object.
Ma Hongjun caught it and immediately sensed the aura of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm. It contained immense soul power; it was actually the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm Soul Bone, and judging from its shape, it was indeed a head soul bone.
"Cooperate on what?"
"I want your body!"
The Silver Dragon King's words were startling.
However, Ma Hongjun quickly understood. The Silver Dragon King wanted to use his body to restore her divine power, and the way to do so was to become his soul pet.
"Agree to her!"
Dragon Soul said excitedly.
"Good!"
The ferocious beasts, including Di Tian, were dumbfounded, especially the Crimson King. He never expected that Di Tian would not only value this kid, but now even the Silver Dragon King was willing to become his soul pet.
For a moment, he regretted it, feeling as if he had missed an opportunity to become a god.
Di Tian, however, quickly understood. Only he knew that most of the energy in the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's body was used to replenish the Silver Dragon King's energy. Now that the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's energy was exhausted, the Silver Dragon King needed new energy to recover.
Therefore, her choice to become Ma Hongjun's soul pet undoubtedly proved that what Ma Hongjun had just said about the benefits of soul pet masters for soul beasts was true.
On another note, it also proved Ma Hongjun's extraordinary abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have gained the Silver Dragon King's favor.
Most importantly, the Silver Dragon King mentioned cooperation, so becoming a soul pet was definitely not as bad as imagined.
"Master, I am also willing to become his soul pet!"
Di Tian quickly said. He wanted to follow in the footsteps of the Dragon God and believed that the Dragon God would not be wrong.
"You have the right to choose for yourselves, and I will not interfere. However, what this human said earlier was not wrong; he did not deceive you. The method he offered is indeed a new and good way out for soul beasts,"
the Silver Dragon King said quietly.
"I am no longer at my peak and cannot lead soul beasts to glory. Moreover, the current predicament of the soul beast race is also my doing, proving that the path I took was wrong, or rather, unstable.
I have studied the path of soul pets before, and for soul beasts, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.
However, there is still a strong bond with humans. How you choose is up to you. I will not interfere; your future is in your own hands."
The Silver Dragon King, like a dragon who had seen through the world's illusions, spoke with a calm indifference.
She explained the benefits of the Soul Pet Path, but not forcefully; she simply stated it objectively, without using any dragon god's pressure.
"I'm willing!"
Di Tian remained resolute.
"I'm willing!"
Bi Ji echoed her husband's sentiments.
Then the other ferocious beasts followed suit, expressing their willingness.
Only the Crimson King remained, bewildered in the wind, now afraid to speak.
Of course, he was willing; the Silver Dragon King was a former dragon god, certainly trustworthy.
However, with his cultivation level, becoming Ma Hongjun's Soul Pet would be ideal, but having just rejected Ma Hongjun, even if he were willing now, Ma Hongjun might not necessarily accept him.
To say it now would be humiliating.
Ma Hongjun hadn't expected things to develop this way; it was completely beyond his expectations.
This way, he didn't need to scheme slowly. With the Silver Dragon King leading the Soul Beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest willing to cooperate with him, what in the Douluo Continent could stop him?
Not all of these ferocious beasts were suitable to become Ma Hongjun's Soul Pets.
Now it was Ma Hongjun's turn to choose.
Seeing the Crimson King's embarrassment, Ma Hongjun couldn't help but smile inwardly. However, considering that the Silver Dragon King and all the ferocious beasts were giving him so much face, he should also be magnanimous.
The Crimson King looked at Ma Hongjun with a pleading look in his eyes. Although he was a little embarrassed and didn't speak, Ma Hongjun already knew what he was thinking.
Most soul beasts were still quite cute and didn't have many tricks up their sleeves. Someone like the Crimson King could be slowly trained. Moreover, giving him a chance now would not only earn him the Crimson King's loyalty and gratitude, but also make the other ferocious beasts look at Ma Hongjun with more respect, proving that Ma Hongjun truly had no prejudice against soul beasts.
"Crimson King, I'll give you another chance to choose. My soul pet slots are still large enough to accommodate you," Ma Hongjun said calmly.
The Crimson King was overjoyed and looked at Ma Hongjun gratefully, "I'm willing!"
Next, it would be time to collect a large number of soul pets.
Today in the Star Dou Great Forest, Ma Hongjun would experience an unprecedented leap forward.
Such a powerful soul pet as the Silver Dragon King would naturally be reserved for the most crucial position.
First, contract with Emperor Tian!
Ma Hongjun summoned the Martial God Spear.
Then they began to condense the soul imprint, with the dragon soul guiding the ferocious beasts on how to cooperate with the contract.
Soon, the contract with Di Tian was successful.
A ninth soul ring appeared on the Martial God Spear—a red soul ring with eight golden patterns and a black dragon design.
Ma Hongjun's soul power broke through, a powerful surge of suppressed soul power erupting from his body.
He also received soul power feedback from Di Tian.
His soul power increased directly from level 90 to level 93.
This was only from contracting Di Tian; if he obtained Di Tian's soul ring, the increase would be even greater.
Next, he contracted with the Crimson King.
The Fire Phoenix Martial Soul was summoned.
Five bright red soul rings appeared, dazzlingly beautiful.
Two of them had four and seven golden patterns.
The Crimson King was a 300,000-year-old ferocious beast; compared to this, it was indeed nothing.
A moment later, a sixth soul ring appeared—three golden patterns, with the design of a three-headed Crimson Demon Hound.
His soul power broke through to level 94.
Ma Hongjun's Ice Dragon had one slot remaining, and the Fire Phoenix had three slots remaining.
The Star Dou Great Forest no longer possesses any powerful ice and fire attribute beasts.
As for the Silver Dragon King,
Ma Hongjun prepared the tenth soul slot of the Martial God Spear for her.
However, his current state wasn't sufficient; he needed to be at his strongest to welcome the Silver Dragon King's arrival.
Although his spiritual power had reached the god-level with the help of the dragon soul, the Silver Dragon King's reputation was too great, and Ma Hongjun worried he wouldn't be able to create a sufficient soul space to nurture her.
Therefore, further improvement was needed.
Ma Hongjun took out the soul bone of the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm and began to fuse with it.
A million-year-old main spiritual type soul bone undoubtedly enhanced spiritual power.
The soul bone transformed into jade marrow and merged into Ma Hongjun's head. With the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm's soul spirit present, the fusion process went quite smoothly.
Ma Hongjun's spiritual power solidified again, becoming incredibly profound, firmly touching the god realm and achieving the materialization of spiritual power. His
soul power also increased by two levels,
reaching level ninety-six.
He had reached the level of a Super Douluo.
Seeing Ma Hongjun's rapid improvement, the ferocious beasts were filled with envy and felt even more strongly that Ma Hongjun was a person of extraordinary fortune; otherwise, he wouldn't have received so many opportunities.
"Well, I still need soul bones. It's not that I'm greedy, but the Silver Dragon King's divine power is immense. In order to perfectly form a contract with the Silver Dragon King, I need to maximize my strength in all aspects,"
Ma Hongjun stated his request. The Star Dou Great Forest shouldn't lack soul bones.
Since it concerned the Silver Dragon King, the ferocious beasts of the Star Dou Great Forest had no complaints, and the soul bones were of little use to them anyway.
Di Tian waved his hand towards the Lake of Life, and instantly a huge black vortex appeared.
Rays of light shot out.
Brilliant and colorful soul bones floated on the surface of the Lake of Life.
"Indeed, the gathering places of various soul beasts are all treasure troves."
Ma Hongjun secretly praised. He knew that other places had soul bones, and the largest Star Dou Great Forest couldn't possibly be without them.
Now Ma Hongjun was still missing a right arm bone.
He already had a goal in mind: this last soul bone needed to be of the lightning attribute.
Now the Martial God Spear already possessed eight elemental attributes: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, and wind.
Only the final lightning attribute was missing.
The Martial God Spear's second soul ring, the thousand-year soul ring from the Explosive Bear, was the only one without an attribute.
But in fact, the Explosive Bear belonged to the lightning attribute, only its life level was too low. Its ancestor was the Purple Lightning Explosive Bear.
And the Purple Lightning Explosive Bear had only appeared in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Ma Hongjun began searching among the soul bones and quickly found several lightning attribute soul bones.
One of the soul bones resonated with the aura of his second soul ring; it was the soul bone of the Purple Thunder Bear.
Ma Hongjun took the soul bone; it was purple and crystalline, with flickering lightning, and its soul power was immense, at least at the 200,000-year level.
Ma Hongjun began to fuse the soul bones.
On his right hand, he already had a left paw bone from a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear.
Now he didn't need to worry about conflicting attributes, and the one on his left hand was simultaneously a bear-type soul bone, possessing both metal and lightning attributes.
These two attributes would only enhance each other, not weaken each other. For the now powerful Ma Hongjun, there was no worry about being unable to suppress the two soul bones.
After a while, the soul bones fused successfully.
After the success, Ma Hongjun felt a wondrous change in his body.
The various elemental powers within him no longer clashed; it seemed that all the powers had become gentle, blending and flowing smoothly within his body.
Ma Hongjun understood that he had gathered all the elemental attributes.
Elements interact and restrain each other, just like the environment. Individual ice domains and fire domains are extremely harsh environments, but after mutual fusion and balance, they form a harmonious world of life.
His soul power had increased to level ninety-seven.
"Now I can form a contract with the Silver Dragon King!"
Ma Hongjun's eyes shone with barely concealed excitement as he looked at the Silver Dragon King.
The Silver Dragon King's abilities were a perfect match for the Martial God Spear, a fusion of various attributes.
The Silver Dragon King shrank, transforming into a delicate, ethereal dragon, and flew before Ma Hongjun.
Then, Ma Hongjun began to concentrate his spiritual power.
This spiritual power was no longer an ordinary soul imprint.
Reaching the divine level, the tenth soul position had condensed a divine imprint.
The divine imprint formed in Ma Hongjun's palm, a white symbol almost tangible.
Ma Hongjun placed his hand on the Silver Dragon King's jade-like, silvery head, and the divine imprint merged into it.
Suddenly, Ma Hongjun felt a powerful mental storm, his head throbbing as if it were about to explode.
The dragon soul quickly entered Ma Hongjun's body, helping him stabilize his spiritual sea.
The Silver Dragon King's body transformed into a stream of light and shot into Ma Hongjun's body.
In the extreme pain of a torn spirit, a new soul space appeared.
The Silver Dragon King officially became Ma Hongjun's soul pet.
Suddenly, beams of soul power erupted from Ma Hongjun's body.
The Silver Dragon King's various attributes were merging with Ma Hongjun's:
golden metal power,
green wood power,
blue water power,
crimson fire power ,
yellowish-brown earth power,
bright white light power,
black darkness power,
cyan wind power,
purple lightning power, and
pure ice power.
Beams of light flashed from Ma Hongjun's body and began to merge.
All the elemental powers began to mix.
Streams of soul power of different colors, like rivers, began to converge, then the brilliant colors began to disappear, finally turning into a hazy gray.
"This is the power of chaos!"
the dragon soul exclaimed!
Even the Silver Dragon King in the soul space opened her beautiful purple eyes; clearly, the birth of the power of chaos had exceeded her expectations.
Ma Hongjun's spiritual power had broken through to the Divine Realm!
A tenth spirit ring appeared on the Martial God Spear—a silver spirit ring!
He had reached the pinnacle of this world.
...
Brute force can overcome any technique; once strength reaches its peak, what was once considered insurmountable becomes within reach.
Ma Hongjun no longer needed to plan anything; he could do whatever he wanted, and no one could stand in his way.
...
Now, Ma Hongjun wanted to unify the Douluo Continent.
Destroy the old and establish the new!
First, he had to eliminate the old forces.
Ma Hongjun rode the Light Unicorn, flying to the Spirit Hall, making no attempt to conceal his powerful aura, and stood directly above the Douluo Hall of Worship.
Qian Daoliu flew out in alarm, followed by a group of Super Douluo worshippers who also ascended into the void.
"Who are you?"
Qian Daoliu didn't know Ma Hongjun; this was their first meeting.
Only Golden Crocodile Douluo knew him.
"I'm here to find someone, Tong Xinyan!"
Ma Hongjun stated directly and coldly.
Qian Daoliu was intimidated by Ma Hongjun's immense strength.
His face was extremely grim. Tong Xinyan was imprisoned in the secret chamber of the Douluo Hall.
"The person you are looking for is not in the Spirit Hall."
"You won't shed tears until you see the coffin."
Ma Hongjun didn't waste any words and started fighting directly.
The Martial God Spear instantly appeared in his hand,
red, purple, purple, red, black, red, red, bright red, silver!
Ten spirit rings flashed out, their fantastical light causing Qian Daoliu and the others to tremble.
"Ten...ten spirit rings!"
They were shocked.
"Chaos Domain!"
Ma Hongjun directly unleashed his most powerful domain skill, which he had just mastered, and a hazy gray color enveloped the Douluo Hall. The
powerful pressure forced out the spirits and spirit rings of Qian Daoliu and the others. In the Chaos Domain, they were like being trapped in a swamp, the suffocating environment and endless spatial compression meant that no power of any attribute could withstand the power of chaos.
Ma Hongjun swept out with his spear, and Qian Daoliu and the others were completely unable to resist. They
were all blasted to the ground, looking utterly disheveled.
"Last chance, or die!"
Ma Hongjun had no goodwill towards Qian Daoliu, whether because of his knowledge of the original story or because of Bibi Dong.
"In the underground chamber!"
Despair flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes as he said dejectedly.
When Ma Hongjun first arrived, he had been prepared for a fight, but now, defeated in one move, he realized the gap between them was like an insurmountable chasm.
At this moment, Bibi Dong arrived.
Seeing the disheveled Qian Daoliu and the others, and then turning her gaze to the invincible Ma Hongjun, she was stunned for a moment.
"My Queen, I've come to take you away!" Ma Hongjun smiled and appeared beside Bibi Dong without any concealment, embracing her.
Qian Daoliu and the other elders saw this, especially Qian Daoliu, whose face turned extremely ugly.
When they arrived at the secret chamber of the Douluo Hall,
they saw Tong Xinyan, who had become an old and haggard woman.
Her husband, Ye Wu, was locked in the next room, chained up.
Inside the secret chamber lay an ice coffin containing the body of Qian Xunji, who had been dead for over a decade. His body was remarkably well-preserved, seemingly still full of life. His soul had dissipated, but remained active.
Ma Hongjun quickly learned the truth: Qian Daoliu had used Ye Wu's life to force Tong Xinyan to nourish Qian Xunji's corpse with the Nine-Heart Begonia.
For over ten years, he had been trapped in this secret chamber, keeping company with a corpse.
Ma Hongjun felt a chill run down his spine.
Qian Daoliu was even more perverse and vicious than his son, Qian Xunji. Although he loved his son dearly, this inhuman behavior was more despicable than that of an evil god.
Even the other worshippers who knew the truth stared at Qian Daoliu in shock.
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with hatred as she saw Qian Xunji in the ice coffin.
Ma Hongjun conjured a ball of flame and struck the ice coffin, instantly transforming it into a fiery coffin.
"No, no!"
Qian Daoliu screamed, his voice hoarse and his expression utterly insane.
"Find my son, find my son!"
He rushed to the ice coffin, reaching his hand into the sea of fire.
He wanted to save the corpse, using his soul power to extinguish the flames.
"Stubborn fool!"
Ma Hongjun said coldly, then prepared to thrust out his Martial God Spear.
"No!"
Bibi Dong grabbed Ma Hongjun's hand, stopping him from killing Qian Daoliu.
Ma Hongjun looked at her with confusion.
"He's Xue'er's grandfather, the person closest to Xue'er,"
Bibi Dong said, her voice filled with pain and helplessness.
So that's it!
Ma Hongjun understood. Although Bibi Dong had always been cold and aloof, she still loved Qian Renxue deep down.
Qian Daoliu was hateful, but he loved Qian Renxue the most, just as he had been so madly devoted to his son, Qian Xunji. He felt the same way about Qian Renxue.
Ma Hongjun also realized he still owed Qian Renxue a favor.
He had to spare his life.
However,
"Death is spared, but punishment is inevitable."
Ma Hongjun retrieved his Martial God Spear, activated his Heaven-Tearing Claw, grabbed Qian Daoliu, crippled his martial spirit, dispersed his soul power, and broke his spine, rendering him a cripple.
Ma Hongjun also owed Ye Lingling a favor. Qian Daoliu had treated her parents so cruelly; he deserved to die too.
Crippled him now, perhaps more painful than killing him, and it was a form of revenge for them.
...
Next, Ma Hongjun summoned representatives of the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires, as well as sects led by the Spirit Hall, including those at the Soul Saint level and above.
He then summoned the ferocious beasts like Di Tian.
He began to promote the development of the Soul Pet Master system.
All empires, sects, and family forces were disbanded.
The continent was unified, and the Great Luo Empire was established, with Ma Hongjun as its first emperor. All territories were divided into provinces, and the empire's main task was to govern the people.
A Soul Pet Master Association was established, with Bibi Dong as its head. Following the previous Spirit Hall model, Soul Pet Master branches were set up throughout the empire to manage all Soul Pet Masters. A Soul
Pet Master Academy Council was established, with Flander as its headmaster. Local academies were established in various regions to provide introductory education and guidance for Soul Pet Masters.
Simultaneously, a power was established in each major Soul Beast gathering area to cooperate with the Soul Beasts and maintain harmony between Soul Beasts and humans.
The far north was managed by the Ice God Palace, based on the Tianshui Academy, with Shui Bing'er as its palace master.
The Fire Domain was established by Zhu Xiaofan's family and the Blazing Fire Academy, forming the Fire God Palace, with Huo Wu as its Palace Master.
The Sunset Forest was established by the former Heaven Dou Royal Family, forming the
Sunset Palace, with Qian Renxue as its Palace Master. The Dragon Tiger Mountain Range was established by the former Star Luo Royal Family, forming the Dragon Tiger Palace, with Dai Mubai as its Palace Master.
The Star Dou Great Forest was formed by the integration of various former sects, primarily the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, with Ning Fengzhi as its Palace Master.
As for the Soul Beasts, each region selected a new Soul Beast Master, chosen from among the most powerful Soul Beasts.
...
In the Great Luo Empire, at the coronation ceremony, Ma Hongjun became the Great Luo Emperor.
He bestowed titles upon his ministers and established a harem.
Bibi Dong later
rose to prominence, becoming the head of the harem. Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, the Shuang'er sisters, Bai Chenxiang, Zhu Xiaofan, Ye Lingling, Qian Renxue, Hu Lina, and others all received the title of Imperial Concubine.
...
Ma Hongjun began reforms; the renovation of a great empire required much work.
Fortunately, Ma Hongjun's strength was undeniable, and no one dared disobey his orders.
Everything unfolded as Ma Hongjun had envisioned, slowly taking shape.
During this time, he managed state affairs while simultaneously undergoing worldly trials to cultivate his mind. His rapid advancement in strength had left him without sufficient time to mature.
Five years passed in the blink of an eye.
The Great Luo Empire finally returned to normalcy, and Ma Hongjun, having experienced numerous trials and tribulations and been tempered by worldly experience, had finally digested his power. If he wished to remain low-key, no one could perceive his presence; he had merged with the world.
Ma Hongjun mobilized the empire's strength to eradicate the Evil God Cult. Through the combined efforts of humans and soul beasts, the remnants of Wei Sen, Xiang Chengsheng, and Xiang Chengwang were found and publicly executed by Ma Hongjun.
Only the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger remained undiscovered.
Ma Hongjun continued to enhance his strength, and those around him were sent to various forests to acquire powerful soul beasts best suited to their needs.
The situation was excellent, and everyone was growing rapidly.
...
In the Fire Domain, Ma Hongjun, along with Huo Wu, underwent the trials of the Fire God. After passing all the tests, Huo Wu obtained the Fire God's divine position.
Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, obtained a wisp of divine light.
This was the very same divine light that Guangyu Wuxie had chased from the God Realm all the way to Douluo Continent without success.
This light was the Solar Divine Light, incredibly wondrous, functioning like a miniature sun.
It had been imprisoned in the Fire Domain by the God of Fire to enhance its energy.
Ma Hongjun gave the Solar Divine Light to Guangyu Wuxie to refine, helping him break through to the God Realm.
During the trial, Ma Hongjun also subdued the two most powerful ferocious beasts in the Fire Domain: the 820,000-year-old Flame Demon Lord and the 900,000-year-old Vermilion Bird Emperor.
They became the seventh and eighth soul pets of the Fire Phoenix.
Simultaneously, Ma Hongjun gave the ninth soul pet position of the Fire Phoenix to the little Vermilion Bird from before.
Little Vermilion Bird obtained the qualification to inherit the God of Fire, and now Ma Hongjun also possesses a strong affinity for the God of Fire, which can help Little Vermilion Bird break through to the God Realm.
...
Ma Hongjun then took Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and others to Seagod Island, where they underwent the Nine Trials of the Seagod to obtain their own godhood.
Ma Hongjun, on the other hand, went alone to fight the Deep Sea Demon Whale. This sea spirit beast was millions of years old and possessed the strength of the God Realm, but due to the influence of the Douluo World's rules, it could not become a god.
After defeating the Deep Sea Demon Whale, and knowing that ice and water were of the same element, Ma Hongjun took it as his ninth spirit pet, the Ice Dragon Spirit Pet.
...
Finally, Ma Hongjun returned to Sunset Forest, to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, where he once again tempered his divine body and helped the Silver Dragon King absorb energy to recover its strength.
After diving to the bottom of the Ice and Fire Pool,
he obtained the spirits of the Water Dragon King and the Fire Dragon King.
After forming contracts, they became Ma Hongjun's tenth spirit pets for his Ice Dragon and Fire Phoenix Spirit Pets, respectively.
At this point, Ma Hongjun's three spirits were perfected.
It was now ten years later!
Ma Hongjun's son, Ma Tengyun, had grown into adulthood. Born to Shui Bing'er, he possessed an innate ice and snow spirit body.
Ma Hongjun passed the throne to him.
At this time, Ma Hongjun's brothers in his harem all received corresponding deities:
Ye Lingling, Goddess of Life;
Hu Liena, Goddess
of Asura; Zhu Zhuqing, Goddess of the Underworld;
Qian Renxue , Goddess of Angels;
Bibi Dong, Goddess of Rakshasa;
Ning Rongrong, Goddess of Guardians;
Shui Bing'er, Goddess of Phoenix and Ice;
Bai Chenxiang, Goddess of Wind; Huo Wu
, Goddess of Fire;
Dai Mubai, Goddess of the White Tiger;
Xiang Chengxian, Goddess of Darkness;
Oscar, God of Cookery;
Xiao Yuanyuan, God of Food;
Tang San, God of the Sea;
Xiao Wu, Goddess of Speed;
and Chen Cheng, God of Swords!
…
However, Ma Hongjun was different from them. The God of War was not an ordinary deity; he hadn't undergone any trials, only inheriting the God of War Spear. The God of War walked the Path of Chaos, merely acting as a guide, unlike other deities who bestowed power. Everything required Ma Hongjun's own cultivation.
Therefore, although Ma Hongjun now possessed god-level strength, he lacked a divine position and needed to acquire it himself in the God Realm.
Ma Hongjun needed to ascend to the God Realm to increase his strength, and his soul pets were also there to enter the God Realm.
Ma Hongjun was at a weak point in the seal of the ordinary gods on the Douluo Continent; he needed to break through the world of Douluo Continent and ascend to the God Realm.
The seal of the gods on Douluo Continent could only be breached by those who had obtained divine status; other beings could not leave.
However, Ma Hongjun's current strength surpassed that of ordinary gods, allowing him to break through this seal.
Finally, in the deepest part of the far north, the place where Guangyu Wuxie was first discovered, a breach was opened.
However, at this moment, divine power suddenly descended from the heavens, and the Dark Demon God Tiger appeared, the divine power descending upon it.
"Breaking the world's seal doesn't require worship or devotion; the evil god can sense it. It can descend its divine essence into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, essentially becoming an avatar of the evil god.
It's trying to prevent us from entering the God Realm,"
the Silver Dragon King analyzed, as she was quite familiar with this God Realm.
"Then let's first kill this evil god avatar, enter the God Realm, and then kill the evil god's true form,"
Ma Hongjun said, as his three martial souls appeared simultaneously.
All the summoned soul pets were also summoned; the Snow Empress, Ice Empress, and other ferocious beasts had already survived their tribulations with Ma Hongjun's help.
Bibi Dong and a dozen other gods also arrived, and the gods returned to their positions, joining together to kill the evil god avatar.
The evil god could never have imagined that in the Douluo Continent, this realm would have so many beings who hadn't yet ascended.
The already-god-like Light Unicorn, Ye Lingling, the God of Life, and her soul pet, the Emerald Swan, Bi Ji, were present.
With these three powerful protectors, the outcome of this battle was no longer in doubt.
After a long and arduous battle, the evil god's avatar was finally defeated. The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body exploded, leaving no soul bones, but a single evil soul bead flew out, attempting to escape into the heavens. Ma Hongjun used his divine power to restrain it and hold it in his hand.
"What should we do with this bead?"
"Keep it for now. This is the evil god's life bead; it might be useful against the evil god later!" the Silver Dragon King advised.
"I see, then we'll keep it for now!" Ma Hongjun replied, but in his heart he thought, "Sorry, Brother Weiqing!"
The group ascended to the God Realm. They would face the gods, fight the evil god, break the seal on the Douluo Continent, and begin a new journey.
The End!!!
