Chapter 167: Rank 1: Creation God's Return to Ruin
Above the heavenly curtain!
The radiance that could illuminate the entire Douluo Continent no longer exuded the sharp or intoxicating Concept it had before.
Instead, it carried an ultimate serenity.
So serene that every living being instinctively held their breath, their heartbeats seeming to skip a beat.
No earth-shattering phenomena, no soul-shaking pressure!
Yet it was precisely this "ordinariness" that made countless people's scalps tingle.
An existence capable of surpassing Li Bai's "Drunken Dance among Blue Lotuses, Poem-Sword Long Song" could never truly be ordinary.
Rumble—!
Finally, above the heavenly curtain!
Golden characters slowly took shape.
Each word seemed carved into the river of time, bearing the aura of eternal immortality.
[Martial Soul Fusion Skill Ranking, First Place]

[Ranking Reward: Permanently increases fluency and stability when switching between twin-Martial Soul Fusion states by fifty percent, raises Soul Ring age by thirty thousand years, boosts Soul Power by ten percent, and grants one two-hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone.]
Line after line of golden text exploded like thunderclaps
in every corner of the Douluo Continent!
"Another… self-Martial Soul Fusion Skill?"
"100% compatibility? Flawless, Origin synchronized?"
"A Divine Rank Martial Soul Fusion Skill—how terrifying must it be?"
"Creation and Ruin… life with one thought, death with another?"
"This is no longer a Soul Master's strength; this is the authority of a Creation God!"
If Li Bai's self-Fusion had shattered the iron laws of the Spirit Master's world,
then Lu Xiao's "Breath of Creation – Blade of Ruin" had overturned everyone's very understanding of power!
Divine Rank strength, 100% compatible self-Martial Soul Fusion!
A power that touched the World's Origin… how could this still be called a Martial Soul Fusion Skill?
This was clearly a True God descending to wield Heaven and Earth!
Countless Soul Masters collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the heavenly curtain, muttering to themselves.
They no longer even had the strength to feel shock.
Those once-proud Titled Douluo who called themselves Genius now felt like ants gazing at an unreachable sky—Supreme Pontiff Palace, Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong stared fixedly at the "100% compatibility" on the heavenly curtain; in her violet eyes the last ripple of emotion died away.
"Sigh…"
She slowly closed her eyes, a long, powerless sigh escaping her lips.
When Li Bai had ranked, she had already guessed Lu Xiao would claim the top spot.
But no amount of calculation had foreseen that Lu Xiao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill would be this terrifying.
The top three of the Martial Soul Ranking were all monopolized by his three Martial Souls!
The soul master strongest ranking and the battle-power list were likewise dominated by him.
Now even the Martial Soul Fusion Skill list—he had ascended with an overwhelming technique!
Lu Xiao was like a towering mountain blocking every Soul Master; no matter how they climbed, they could never see the summit.
"Seeking death…"
Bibi Dong repeated the words in a low voice,
her tone numb with self-mockery.
"From the start, my ambitions and schemes were nothing but clownish antics before him."
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan opened his mouth, trying to speak,
but only a bitter sigh came out.
The Two Extremes Stillness Domain he and Gui Mei once prided themselves on now looked like child's play beside Lu Xiao's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
"Not the same level—truly not the same level…"
"Is he really a Soul Master of the Douluo Continent?"
Ghost Douluo's voice emerged from beneath his black robe, thick with despair.
Yes—was he truly a Soul Master of the Douluo Continent?
The thought rose simultaneously in Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo's hearts, refusing to leave.
After all, never in the history of the Douluo Continent had such a Heaven-Defying being appeared!
So Heaven-Defying it made them doubt his very Origin—Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, council hall.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong now stood by the window, gazing at the golden text upon the heavenly curtain.
Ning Fengzhi slowly nodded, a knowing smile on his face, though his eyes were filled with awe.
"As expected of Dean Lu—only he could produce such a World-shaking Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
"100% compatibility… Origin synchronized…"
Chen Xin murmured.
The Sword Qi that had surged around him for so long now completely calmed,
replaced by an unprecedented clarity.
"I once thought the pinnacle of the Sword Dao was to cut down everything; now I know that beyond the Sword Dao lies an even higher Realm."
A flicker of gratitude flashed in Gu Rong's eyes: "Fortunately, we are friends, not enemies, with Big Dipper Academy."
"With such an existence guarding Beidou, perhaps the Douluo Continent—and Rongrong—can truly welcome a different future."
The three exchanged smiles, the shock in their eyes gradually turning to acceptance.
Lu Xiao's might, to them,
was no threat, but a calming reassurance—Star Dou Great Forest, Core Area, Lake of Life.
Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena hovered above the lake's surface,
her violet eyes fixed on the descriptions of "ancient tree of life" and "Breath of Creation," her body trembling faintly.
She could clearly sense… the life Origin within that Martial Soul Fusion Skill resonated subtly with the Dragon God power inside her.
"ancient tree of life… Breath of Creation…"
Gu Yuena whispered,
complex light flashing in her beautiful eyes.
A thought to create, a thought to return to ruin.
Even the Dragon God at his peak would have to take such power seriously.
"The future of the Soul Beast Clan…"
Gu Yuena gazed at Lu Xiao's name upon the heavenly curtain, a hint of gravity in her eyes.
Is there really a future left?
Big Dipper Academy, drill ground.
Ning Rongrong and the others were already swept up in wild cheers, deafening cries of "Long live the Dean!" shaking the sky.
Even the academy buildings trembled slightly.
Ning Rongrong and Ye Lingling clasped hands tightly, their pretty faces flushed with excitement and pride as they gazed at Lu Xiao in worship.
Li Bai lifted his wine gourd, took a long swig, and laughed heartily: "Well done! A magnificent Breath of Creation – Blade of Ruin!"
"Dean, I, Li Bai, am convinced!"
"My poetic wine Sword Intent is mere child's play before your Martial Soul Fusion Skill!"
Lü Bu gripped his sky piercer halberd, Battle Intent blazing in his eyes, yet there was no challenge—only pure admiration: "The Dean's ability is unfathomable to gods and demons; I submit from the heart!"
