Chapter 24 Life and Slaughter.
This time, what erupted was not vitality, but a terrifying aura of slaughter that would wither all things in heaven and earth and make even gods and demons tremble!
Amidst the intertwined crimson and gold light, a line of characters, seemingly forged from countless broken divine weapons and annihilated stars, appeared with a chilling aura of slaughtering gods and burying the heavens.
[Martial Soul Ranking, Second Place: Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword]
[Holder: Lu Xiao (Beidou Academy)]
[Rating: Ultimate Destructive/Slaughterful Martial Soul, born from the will of annihilation, existing solely for slaughtering gods, containing the ultimate power to destroy all laws and end everything. When the sword is drawn, all paths crumble, and Ragnarok descends!]
[Reward: All Soul Rings and Soul Bones' age increased by 100,000 years, Talent Domain: Divine Realm of All Heavens, Inheritance of the God-Slaying Sword Technique, Divine Skill: Annihilation of the Gods]
"Second place...it's still Lu Xiao!"
"Twin Martial Souls, another top-ranking twin Martial Soul!"
"The Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword, born specifically to slaughter gods, what kind of Martial Soul is this?"
"All Soul Rings and Soul Bones' age increased by 100,000 years? My god! What color will his Soul Rings turn?"
"God-Slaying Sword Technique...Annihilation of the Gods...this name is terrifying!"
Madness!
The entire Douluo Continent went completely mad!
If the Tree of Life brought confusion and bewilderment, then the Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword brought the most direct and naked fear and shock.
One is the Tree of Life, born to create all things; the other is the God-Slaying Sword, existing to slaughter gods.
These two completely opposite, yet equally extreme, powers actually appeared simultaneously in one person!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin was struck the moment the name "Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword" appeared.
The Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul within his body burst forth uncontrollably, emitting mournful sword cries.
It was the instinctive fear and submission of a low-ranking Martial Soul facing a supreme sword emperor.
Yet, Chen Xin's eyes burned with an unprecedented flame of fervor and despair.
"The Sword of Godslayer... So this is the end of the sword path."
He murmured to himself, his Dao heart nearly collapsing, yet within the shattering, he glimpsed a vast, unprecedented world.
Inside the Martial Soul Hall.
Qian Daoliu abruptly stood up, the six-winged angel phantom behind him trembling slightly.
He sensed a tremendous threat originating from the very source of his Martial Soul—the same threat Ji Dong, like encountering a natural enemy!
"Radiant Annihilation... A Martial Soul dares to use the name of Godslayer?"
"Who exactly is this Lu Xiao?"
His voice was filled with unbelievable horror.
On Seagod Island.
Poseidon was also pale-faced; the strong warning from the Seagod Martial Soul made her understand.
That sword possessed terrifying power that truly threatened even the gods!
On the square of Beidou Academy, utter silence reigned.
Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan were completely numb, their mouths agape.
Staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar name on the sky, their minds went blank.
The Dean actually possessed two such heaven-defying martial souls?
And they were the second and third?
The first-place winners, Lü Bu and Sikong Zhen, exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in each other's eyes.
They knew the Dean was strong, but they had never imagined he would be this strong.
Li Bai's gaze finally turned serious as he looked in Lu Xiao's direction, raising his wine gourd in a distant toast.
Meanwhile, Lu Xiao, at the center of the storm, remained lazily reclining in his chair.
Only a faint, almost imperceptible golden light entered his body.
A seed, enveloped in a rich green light and radiating boundless vitality and the essence of creation, floated before him.
With the appearance of this seed of the ancient tree of life, all the plants in the entire Beidou Academy and even the surrounding mountains began to grow and bloom at a visible speed, their rich life force transforming into pale green specks of light.
Like fireflies, they filled the entire plaza, as if paying homage to their king.
Lu Xiao seemingly casually reached out and touched the emerald green seed floating before him, radiating boundless vitality and the essence of creation.
"Hmm? The seed of the ancient tree of life?"
The instant his fingertips touched the seed, a vast and powerful flow of information instantly flooded his mind.
It was the most fundamental information and inheritance about this "seed of the ancient tree of life."
Even with Lu Xiao's mind, tempered by the system and having seen countless rare treasures, a genuine look of surprise flashed across his eyes.
"It's actually… the original seed of the ancient tree of life?"
He was slightly shaken.
His own Life Tree Martial Soul had already surpassed the ordinary level of a divine Martial Soul, reaching the level of the origin of laws, a veritable manifestation of the rules of life.
And the seed in his hand was no ordinary plant seed.
It was a physical entity formed from the most core and purest primordial rules of the Life Tree!
As the owner of the Life Tree, he understood better than anyone what this seed meant.
It was the cornerstone of a world's life, a symbol of the origin of creation!
If he planted this seed anywhere and nourished it with his own soul power and the rules of life, it would take root, sprout, and gradually grow into a new, true Life Tree.
At that time, no matter how barren, desolate, or lifeless the land was originally, it would be transformed under the influence of the Life Tree into a life-giving source and cultivation holy land that even the God Realm could not compare to.
It would become the cradle of life, the manifestation of rules.
Its superior environment and pure, rich energy would surpass any known blessed land.
"Interesting..."
Lu Xiao stroked his chin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
"However, the resources needed for this true Tree of Life to grow are probably astronomical. Ordinary soul power is far from enough; it requires devouring a massive amount of life essence, or even..."
He didn't plant the seed immediately.
Instead, with a thought, he absorbed it into his body, slowly nurturing it with the power of his own Tree of Life martial soul's essence.
This matter was of great importance and required careful consideration, choosing the most suitable location.
"Boom boom boom!"
The moment he put away the seed, the vast reward representing second place on the Martial Soul Ranking descended with a thunderous roar!
However, faced with this reward that would make any Limit Douluo ecstatic, Lu Xiao simply calmly felt the subtle increase in power within his body, his heart unmoved.
This was because his foundation was simply too profound.
With the sign-in system, he had, in his early years, used various task rewards and special items to raise the quality of his soul rings to an unbelievable level.
He had also already collected all six soul bones in his body.
Moreover, these were all top-quality items produced by the system, far exceeding the age of ordinary 100,000-year soul bones.
This reward was merely icing on the cake, allowing him to take another solid step forward from his already formidable strength.
