Chapter 156: super divine artifact: Origin Heavenly Wheel
What made her even more wary was that the opponent's Sword Intent was too pure and too overbearing.
It seemed to exist naturally just to "Slay Gods"!
It had an extremely strong restraining effect on her elemental power.
Every time the sword and spear collided, her elemental power would be torn apart and annihilated by the God Slaying Sword Intent.
She had to consume more Origin to replenish it. If this continued, she would undoubtedly lose!
"I can't let this continue!"
A sharp glint flashed in Gu Yuena's eyes!
She decided to use a stronger power.
Silver light surged around her, and all the runes on the silver dragon spear lit up.
"Boom!"
A Dragon Might, far older and more majestic than before, spread out.
Faintly appearing behind her was the phantom of a giant Dragon, entirely silver-white, controlling the elements.
That was a partial projection of the Dragon God, the ultimate manifestation of the Dragon God Bloodline Power within her!
She was attempting to draw upon deeper Dragon God Bloodline Power, as well as the partial Law belonging to the Dragon God contained within the silver dragon spear.
She wanted to use this to break the stalemate!
However, just as her Aura was rising and she was preparing to launch a stronger attack.
Lu Xiao, who had seemed to be passively responding all this time.
A look of understanding, suggesting "that's enough," flashed across his eyes.
Through the recent exchange, he had figured out the limits of Gu Yuena's strength.
He had also verified his temporarily boosted combat power. The warm-up was over.
"The warm-up should end now."
Lu Xiao's voice sounded calmly, yet it clearly entered Gu Yuena's ears amidst the fierce energy explosions.
It carried a composure that implied control over everything.
"Hmm?"
Gu Yuena's heart tightened, and an intense sense of crisis instantly enveloped her entire body!
Lu Xiao raised his left hand and lightly drew a line in the Void Realm in front of him.
"Buzz!"
An indescribable, terrifying Aura, seemingly originating from before the creation of heaven and earth, the birthplace and endpoint of all things, suddenly descended!
The space of the entire Endless Arena violently twisted and fluctuated.
In front of Lu Xiao, a slowly rotating wheel appeared, about three feet in diameter, entirely a deep Chaos purple, with profound dark golden runes flowing along its edge.
This wheel didn't look large, yet it seemed to be the center of the entire World!
As it slowly rotated, faint scenes of the birth and annihilation of stars, and the creation and destruction of all things, played out within it.
This was precisely the Divine Artifact Lu Xiao had obtained through the heavenly curtain reward, which was later upgraded to the super divine artifact, the Origin Heavenly Wheel, using the "Divine Artifact Upgrade Card" obtained from signing in!
super divine artifact—Origin Heavenly Wheel!
"This is... an super divine artifact!"
Undisguised shock appeared once again on Gu Yuena's exquisite face!
super divine artifacts are Heaven-Defying Opportunities, enough to drive any God King mad.
Lu Xiao actually possessed one?
Moreover, the Aura of this wheel-shaped super divine artifact seemed even older than her silver dragon spear.
Even more... closer to the Origin of the World!
"Something is wrong!"
What shook her mind even more profoundly was this!
Lu Xiao was actually emitting the Aura of a brand new Domain.
It was an invisible Domain, and its coverage area was not large.
Yet, it carried Supreme Divine Might, as if all Divinities had descended to look down upon all living beings!
Within this Domain, Gu Yuena felt that the circulation of her elemental power had become sluggish.
The pressure from the Dragon God Bloodline was forcibly suppressed, and even her thoughts seemed affected.
This was precisely Lu Xiao's innate Domain—All Heavens Divine Domain!
"This Domain..."
Gu Yuena bit her lower lip, her expression turning extremely ugly.
The opponent's Domain and the Blazing Annihilation God Slaying Sword, every single one seemed specifically designed to counter her existence.
This feeling of being restrained, which prevented her strength from being fully utilized, made her extremely uncomfortable.
Lu Xiao did not offer any further explanation!
He could sense Gu Yuena's shock, but he did not pause in the slightest.
He lightly pointed at the slowly rotating Origin Heavenly Wheel, and his indifferent voice rang out.
"Origin Heavenly Wheel, All Laws Return to the Ruins."
The Origin Heavenly Wheel suddenly accelerated its rotation!
In the center of the wheel, the deep Chaos purple light suddenly intensified, transforming into a silent Ray of Return to the Ruins, capable of reverting everything to its state before "Origin," and shot toward Gu Yuena!
"Damn it! This Aura?"
Gu Yuena felt a fatal threat she had never experienced before!
She let out a sharp cry and poured all her strength unreservedly into the silver dragon spear.
The Dragon God phantom behind her roared toward the sky, emitting a Dragon Roar that shook the universe.
The power of the seven great elements and the Dragon God Bloodline Power frantically merged.
At the tip of the spear, they condensed into a point of extreme brilliance, an elemental light that seemed capable of recreating the World—Light of Creation!
This was her strongest strike in her current state, fusing elemental authority, Dragon God Bloodline, and super divine artifact power.
Its power had already touched the threshold of a God King!
"Elemental Creation!"
Gu Yuena shouted softly!
Her silver dragon spear, carrying unparalleled might, thrust fiercely toward the Ray of Return to the Ruins!
She intended to use all her trump cards to resist this Might of Return to the Ruins!
The Light of Creation and the Ray of Return to the Ruins met silently in the center of the arena... There was no earth-shattering explosion, no energy storm sweeping across everything.
There was only an extreme "annihilation" and "assimilation."
At the point of contact, space silently dissolved into nothingness.
Time seemed to fall into stagnation, and even light was completely swallowed, forming a temporary "Nothingness" Domain.
The stalemate lasted only a few breaths.
Gu Yuena groaned, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.
She clearly felt that her "Elemental Light of Creation," which fused the strength of her entire life.
Was being rapidly broken down and dissolved in front of the strange "Ray of Return to the Ruins."
Turning into the most primitive energy particles.
Returning to its state before "Origin"!
"Pfft!"
Finally, the Ray of Return to the Ruins completely overwhelmed the Light of Creation, and the residual power brushed past Gu Yuena's body like gentle flowing water.
Gu Yuena was struck as if by lightning, her delicate body trembling violently.
A mouthful of blood containing seven-colored radiance spurted out.
The violent elemental storm around her instantly dissipated.
The silver dragon spear's light also dimmed, and the runes on the spear body lost their luster.
She flew backward like a kite with a broken string, her Aura rapidly weakening.
The heavenly curtain's protective golden light descended just in time!
[Endless Arena battle concluded. Lu Xiao is victorious. Ranking remains unchanged.]
The heavenly curtain's cold and majestic voice echoed throughout the entire Douluo Continent.
Marking the end of what could be called the most Peak and most shocking duel in the history of the Douluo Continent.
The Aura around Lu Xiao, which had been temporarily boosted to the Peak of a First-rank Deity, slowly subsided.
The Domain: All Heavens Divine Domain, dispersed accordingly.
"Thank you for the fight!"
He nodded slightly as he looked at Gu Yuena, who was shrouded in golden light, pale-faced yet still stubbornly gazing at him.
This was respect for a powerful individual.
Immediately after, he was also enveloped in a golden teleportation light and returned to Big Dipper Academy.
The entire Douluo Continent fell into a long and absolute silence.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, an existence infinitely close to a God King, wielding the super divine artifact silver dragon spear, controlling the authority of the seven great elements... was defeated.
Defeated by Lu Xiao.
Big Dipper Academy: Lu Xiao.
The number one combat power in the current era, with a God King-level evaluation... truly deserved!
After a brief, almost vacuum-like silence across the entire Douluo Continent.
Came a wave of noise more tumultuous and complex than at any time before!
"He won! Dean Lu won!"
"The battle of God Kings... it was too terrifying! I didn't even dare to watch for too long!"
"The Silver Dragon King lost... Humanity truly defeated the Soul Beast Supreme!"
The human World erupted in earth-shattering cheers and exclamations.
Lu Xiao's victory didn't just vindicate Big Dipper Academy; it injected an unprecedented shot of confidence into all human Soul Masters!
This meant that at the very Peak of individual martial power.
Humanity now possessed an existence capable of rivaling, and even defeating, the strongest among the Soul Beasts!
Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area.
The atmosphere was heavy as iron.
Gu Yuena was sent back to the Lake of Life by the heavenly curtain's golden light.
Bi Ji immediately stepped forward, stabilizing her severe injuries in cooperation with Gu Yuena's own powerful life force.
Her face was pale, and her purple eyes were tightly closed.
She was fully focused on processing the gains and trauma from this battle.
Ferocious beasts like Di Tian, Xiong Jun, and the Myriad Demon King stood silently with bowed heads, daring not to make a sound.
The defeat of their Master was a devastating blow to their morale.
Even their Master, who was infinitely close to a God King and wielded an super divine artifact, was defeated.
Where should the Soul Beast Clan go in the future?
Big Dipper Academy, that mysterious Lu Xiao.
Had become the heaviest mountain weighing on the hearts of all Soul Beasts.
Just as Lu Xiao was teleported back to Big Dipper Academy, Gu Yuena began healing, and all parties across the continent were feeling emotional!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
On the heavenly curtain, the phantom image of the blood-gold ranking list, which had begun to slowly fade.
Suddenly rippled like water!
Immediately afterward, all the text, rankings, and light were wiped away as if by an invisible giant hand.
Just as everyone was confused.
A soft, yet incredibly conspicuous milky white halo lit up in the center of the heavenly curtain.
The halo rapidly spread and changed, finally coalescing into a line of new, ancient characters, whose style was completely different from the previous "Combat Power Ranking."
This font no longer carried a blood-colored murderous Aura.
Instead, it exuded a profound, harmonious quality, like the charm of the Dao where Yin and Yang complement each other and all things coexist.
[Three days later, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking will be announced.]
[This ranking includes Martial Soul Fusion Skills on the Douluo Continent that are exceptionally effective, possess great potential, and wield extraordinary power. Those who make the list are the crystallization of Soul Master tacit understanding, Martial Soul compatibility, and the favor of heaven and earth.]
[Ranking basis: Comprehensive evaluation based on the power, rarity, growth potential, and other dimensions of the Martial Soul Fusion Skill.]
[Those who make the list will all receive rewards.]
Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking!
The moment these words appeared, the entire Douluo Continent.
Especially all human Soul Master factions, instantly recovered from the shock of the previous God King duel.
And plunged into a different kind of fervent excitement, filled with eager anticipation!
"The Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking! Is it finally our turn?"
"Oh heavens! Fusion Skills can also make the list! And there are rewards!"
The Martial Soul Fusion Skill was originally an extremely rare and powerful ability in the Spirit Master's world.
It could perfectly fuse the powers of two or more Martial Souls, unleashing power far exceeding the sum of the individuals.
A powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill often served as the greatest treasure of a Family or Sect.
Determining the outcome of a crucial battle!
Now, the heavenly curtain had specifically established a ranking for this, complete with generous rewards!
How could this not make the Soul Masters famous for their unique Martial Soul Fusion Skills extremely excited?
