Chapter 339: Refining the Universe Heart
Yun Yuan gathered the divine power around his body and reached out toward the Universe Heart at the very bottom of the cosmic core.
At the highest point of the cosmic core, the Cosmic Consciousness witnessed this scene and understood why Yun Yuan had come.
It wanted to stop Yun Yuan from taking the Universe Heart, but it soon discovered that there was nothing it could do.
It couldn't even launch an attack.
All it could do was watch helplessly as the giant hand formed from Yun Yuan's divine power seized the Universe Heart.
"No!!!"
With the Cosmic Consciousness's desperate cry, Yun Yuan successfully obtained the Universe Heart.
This visit to the cosmic core was completely different from the previous one.
There was no longer any need for Yun Yuan to fight the Cosmic Consciousness.
His strength had increased by an unknown amount since their last confrontation.
This time, he simply took the Universe Heart right in front of the cosmic consciousness, completely disregarding its existence.
After obtaining the Universe Heart, Yun Yuan looked at the brilliant, star-colored crystal in his palm. The corners of his lips curved upward into a radiant smile.
He turned his head slightly and looked toward the ethereal Cosmic Consciousness.
"I need the Universe Heart. You and I are ultimately enemies. There is no possibility of us coexisting peacefully."
"Since that's the case, I'll send you on your way today."
Yun Yuan spoke calmly.
The next moment—
The power of countless laws erupted.
A terrifying storm of laws swept across the entire cosmic core.
The Laws of Destruction, the Laws of Life, the Laws of Time, the Laws of Space...
One law after another washed over the cosmic core.
Under the onslaught of this storm of laws, the rules of the Cosmic Consciousness gradually collapsed.
In the end, it directly turned into nothingness and was completely erased by Yun Yuan.
After finishing all of this, Yun Yuan held the Universe Heart in his hand and slowly sat down cross-legged within the cosmic core.
Divine power circulated around his body, enveloping the Universe Heart in his palm.
He began refining it.
In an instant, Yun Yuan successfully refined the Universe Heart.
From that moment onward, the entire universe fell under Yun Yuan's control.
At this moment, Yun Yuan's aura became increasingly ethereal.
He knew that his strength had risen another level.
However, he had still not transcended the realm of the Supreme God King.
He needed to merge the power of two universes and make the ultimate leap to reach that new realm.
Within Yun Yuan's body—
The universal origin and laws of the Douluo Dalu spacetime.
The universal origin and laws of the Peerless Tang Sect spacetime.
Under Yun Yuan's deliberate guidance, the two gradually began to merge.
With every bit that fused together, Yun Yuan's own aura grew considerably stronger.
The benefits brought by this fusion were not as simple as one plus one equaling two.
It was one plus one being greater than one hundred!
This fusion could not be completed in an instant.
As time passed and Yun Yuan continued merging the origins and laws of the two universes—
Douluo Star.
Outside Spirit City, beneath Five-Finger Mountain.
Tang San's eyes were dull and lifeless.
His hair was disheveled, and a foul stench emanated from his body.
His once-fair complexion had now become grimy and dark.
If not for his extraordinary identity, no one would have imagined that this miserable-looking man had once been a lofty god.
On this day—
Two familiar figures appeared before Tang San.
Tang San raised his head.
He immediately recognized them.
They were his daughter, Wang Dong'er, and his wife, Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, why are you all right?"
His voice was filled with confusion.
Logically speaking, after he had been suppressed by the gods of the Spirit Empire, Xiao Wu, as his wife, should have been dealt with as well.
"Could it be that Xiao Wu submitted to the gods of the Spirit Empire?"
This thought suddenly appeared in Tang San's mind.
The moment he thought of this, Tang San nearly gnashed his teeth to pieces.
He stared fiercely at Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, I want an explanation!"
Before Xiao Wu could say anything, Wang Dong'er, who was standing beside her, crouched down and slapped Tang San twice across the face.
"Smack! Smack!"
Tang San stared at Wang Dong'er in disbelief.
"Dong'er, I'm your father! How dare you hit me? That's utterly unfilial and unrighteous!"
Tang San cursed furiously.
In his mind, children absolutely could not defy their parents.
Especially daughters.
Now that Wang Dong'er had come here together with Xiao Wu, it meant that Wang Dong'er had already recovered her memories.
"Heh. Little bastard Tang San, shut your mouth!"
"I, Wang Dong'er, am not your daughter! My surname is Wang, and yours is Tang. How could I possibly be your daughter?"
"And show my mother some respect. If you dare yell at her again, believe me, I'll slap you twice more."
Wang Dong'er spoke coldly.
She didn't regard Tang San, her biological father, with the slightest respect.
Xiao Wu stared at Tang San for a long while before finally speaking.
"Third Brother, this is the last time I'll call you Third Brother."
"Dong'er is our daughter. Why did you treat her like this? Why did you split her soul apart?"
"You're truly a wonderful father."
The final sentence was practically spat out through gritted teeth.
"And just how much have you deceived me over these ten thousand years?"
"Everything that happened on Douluo Continent, what you did to the auspicious beast of the Star Dou Great Forest—all of it was your doing."
"I don't even recognize you anymore."
"I came here today with Xiao Qi because I want to sever all ties with you. From this day onward, I, Xiao Wu, am no longer your wife. I have nothing to do with you anymore."
Xiao Wu spoke with disappointment.
"Oh, right. Your three good brothers, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and Ma Hongjun, have already been executed by the God of Evil."
"Rongrong, Zhuqing, and I survived because of Dong'er and those two."
Xiao Wu continued speaking.
Her mind suddenly recalled that charming, innocent, and lively young girl.
That had once been her.
However, the passage of ten thousand years had already worn away the youthful spirit she once possessed.
"Xiao Wu, you are not worthy of being my wife!"
"Today, it should be me who severs all ties with you!"
"You're a wife, yet when your husband was suppressed by his enemies, you neither resisted to the end nor sacrificed yourself for love. Instead, you actually defected to the enemy!"
"I, Tang San, don't have a wife like you!"
Tang San spoke with resentment filling his face.
"Little bastard Tang San, you're asking for a beating, aren't you?"
"Take this!"
Seeing Tang San's domineering and shameless attitude, Wang Dong'er could no longer tolerate him.
She immediately raised her foot and stomped it down on Tang San's head.
While Tang San cursed and shouted, she ruthlessly suppressed him for quite some time.
Only then did Wang Dong'er withdraw her foot.
"Little bastard Tang San, stop barking."
"You haven't even paid the price for what you did to me."
"Now, let me show you what it feels like to have your soul split apart."
Wang Dong'er took a silver-white cube from her storage soul tool.
This was the Soul-Splitting Device that she had asked her sister Xiao Wu to obtain from the higher-ups of the Spirit Empire specifically for her.
This Soul-Splitting Device could split a complete soul into nine portions in a single operation.
Wang Dong'er pointed the Soul-Splitting Device at Tang San and activated it according to the steps Xiao Wu had taught her.
In an instant, a dazzling white light flashed.
"Hehe, little bastard Tang San. The consequences of your past actions have finally come back to you. Your retribution has arrived!"
The corners of Wang Dong'er's lips curled upward as she couldn't help but mock him.
"Ahhh!!!"
