He looked at the human soul masters on his left, and then at the soul beast camp on his right.

"I announce!"

"From this day forward, the Martial Soul Divine Kingdom will implement a brand-new cultivation system: Martial Arts!"

"This is the result of my discussions with the gods, and it is also for the future of this world."

Hu Bai stretched out his hand, and a ball of seven-colored energy condensed in his palm, transforming into countless points of light that scattered across the entire arena.

"The Martial Soul Empire will establish the Martial Arts Academy to teach self-created soul skills and methods of elemental control."

"Human Soul Masters will no longer rely solely on hunting Soul Beasts to obtain Soul Rings."

"We can condense our own natal soul ring by comprehending the universe and cultivating ourselves!"

"The Soul Beast race will also have the right to coexist with humans."

"Both parties can sign an equal 'soul contract' and become partners fighting side by side."

Upon hearing this, the square fell into a deathly silence; everyone was shocked by this revolutionary news.

Instead of hunting spirit beasts? Create your own spirit rings?
This is simply unheard of!

But soon, Ning Fengzhi was the first to stand up.

"The Holy Emperor is wise!"

"This is a great achievement that will last for generations!"

Following Ning Fengzhi's lead, the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School knelt down in worship.

Immediately afterward, all the human soul masters in the audience reacted and erupted in even more enthusiastic cheers.

Meanwhile, the soul beasts...

Di Tian was so excited that he trembled all over. He suddenly knelt down on one knee and performed the most solemn salute to Hu Bai and Gu Yuena on the high platform.

"The Holy Emperor is merciful! The Dragon God is eternal!"

……

After the wedding ceremony, a grand state banquet followed.

The banquet in Wuhun City lasted for three days and three nights.

And deep within the Spirit Hall.

As night falls, the noise gradually fades away, leaving only a room full of beauty and warmth.

Inside the bedroom, red candles burned brightly, and bright red "double happiness" characters covered the window frames.

Hu Bai pushed open the door and looked at the two brides sitting on the edge of the bed.

Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena had already removed their heavy headdresses and changed into light red silk nightgowns.

A beautiful woman is more captivating the more you look at her under the lamplight.

Qian Renxue nervously twisted her fingers, her face flushed with a captivating blush.

Gu Yuena was slightly bolder, her purple eyes filled with anticipation and teasing.

"Ladies..."

Hu Bai closed the door, setting up a soundproof barrier.

He rubbed his hands together, a signature sly grin spreading across his face, and walked over step by step.

"The night is long, shouldn't we... get down to business?"

Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him, and although she was shy, she still gave a haughty snort:
"see your performance."

"Hmph, if you don't satisfy us, you'll be sleeping on the floor tonight."

Gu Yuena also beckoned with her finger, her voice languid and alluring: "Husband, there are two of us."

Hu Bai laughed loudly and pounced on them, pulling them both into his arms at the same time.

"rest assured!"

"Don't even mention two, even if it's... cough cough, anyway, nobody's getting away tonight!"

"Take this! Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl!"

"Hey—! You bad guy!"

The red candles flickered, and the spring scenery was boundless.

This night was destined to be the most unforgettable and happiest night of Hu Bai's life.

……

Just as the mortal world was filled with jubilation.

The divine realm, the divine realm committee.

Several god-kings were sitting around a huge water mirror, watching the scene of their wedding in the mortal world.

As gods, they cannot descend to the mortal realm unless there is something urgent to attend to, so they were unable to descend in their true forms to participate in Hu Bai's wedding.

The Asura God clicked his tongue in amazement: "This kid is quite the ladies' man."

"Back in the day, why didn't I get this kind of treatment? This kid comes along with an angel goddess and a dragon goddess as his wives right away."

The God of Destruction glanced at him and sneered:
"That's because you're ugly and all you know is how to kill. Unlike Hu Bai, who knows romance."

"Besides, are you still half asleep? Wake up, you don't have a wife."

The God of Asura was speechless: "Destruction, don't force me to fight you one-on-one on such an important occasion!"

"So what if you have wives?"

The God of Destruction ignored the furious Asura God and looked at the scene in the water mirror where Hu Bai announced the "martial arts" reform, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"This kid's boldness is truly beyond my imagination."

"If this martial art can really be promoted in Douluo Continent."

"Then the fortune of the Douluo plane will probably experience an explosive surge."

"At that time, the expansion of the divine realm will be just around the corner."

Rong Nianbing nodded: "I've already passed on my magical insights to him, coupled with his extraordinary comprehension and ability to deduce using the power of fate."

"I believe that a hundred years from now, when we welcome him up there..."

"He will bring us a brand new Douluo world."

The gods looked at the three people embracing happily in the water mirror, and a hint of expectation appeared in their eyes.

A new era is coming.

...(The following is the beginning of the side story)

The Martial Soul Empire Calendar, the fifth year of the Holy Emperor.

The forbidden area behind the Spirit Hall.

Five years may be a long time for ordinary people.

But for Wuhun City today, it's just a blink of an eye.

Since Hu Bai's wedding and the promulgation of the new "Martial Arts" policy, the entire continent has been revitalized like never before.

It became a trend for soul beasts to sign contracts with humans, and academies that created their own soul skills sprang up like mushrooms after rain.

The conflicts and killings of the past gradually faded into dust in history books under the absolute rule of theocracy.

However, beneath this peaceful and prosperous world...

The forbidden area behind the imperial palace is shrouded in two completely different yet equally terrifying auras year-round.

To the left, a sky full of purplish-black lightning, exuding an oppressive sense of destruction and collapse.

To the right, a thick pink mist exudes a captivating yet extremely dangerous allure.

This is where Xie Yue and Hu Liena secluded themselves for cultivation, and it is also the final hurdle in their quest to ascend to godhood.

……

To the left of the forbidden area lies the Temple of Destruction.

"boom!!!"

With a deafening roar, a thousand-meter-high obsidian mountain was instantly cleaved in two by a blood-red blade of light, the cut as smooth as a mirror.

Amidst the flying debris, a tall, slender figure slowly emerged.

He was shirtless, his muscles perfectly sculpted, and sweat streamed down his bronze skin.

It is an evil month.

At this moment, he held two [Destruction Blood Moon Blades], which had been tempered countless times and evolved into divine weapons.

His eyes were as cold as knives, and the aura he exuded was no longer the simple sharpness of his younger days.

It's a domineering desire to smash everything in its path!

"The Ninth Trial..." Xie Yue looked up at the phantom of the deity in the sky.

That's the God of Destruction!
In the previous eight tests, his affinity with the God of Destruction reached 100%. According to the rules, the God of Destruction can choose whether or not to appear.

"Evil Moon."

In the sky, the God of Destruction's rough and bold voice boomed like thunder.

"This final test is very simple. Do you see that thing in front of you?"

Xie Yue's gaze shifted downwards.

Before him floated a black sphere, no bigger than a fist, yet emanating an aura that distorted even space itself.

That was the [Undying Divine Core], formed by compressing the mass of an entire mountain range with the divine power of the God of Destruction.

Known as the hardest substance in the world. "Ninth Test, Absolute Destruction!"

The God of Destruction's voice carried a hint of provocation.

"Use your knife to cleave it open!"

"If you can't split it open, you die!"

"If you split it open, my divine position is yours!"

"Remember, the God of Destruction doesn't need fancy techniques, all he needs is the will to crush everything!"

Xie Yue took a deep breath and gripped the twin blades in his hands tightly.

Split it open?
The hardness of this divine core is such that even a full-force attack from a peerless Douluo would likely not leave a single white mark.

"Hoo..." Xie Yue closed his eyes.

No fear surfaced in his mind; instead, he recalled the moments he shared with his two siblings.

His second brother became a god five years ago, and now it's his turn!

He can't fall behind!
"I'm the eldest brother..."

"I should be the one protecting my younger siblings!"

"If I can't even split this broken rock, what right do I have to stand beside him?!"

"what!!!"

Xie Yue suddenly opened his eyes, and in that instant, his pupils turned blood red. All the soul power, blood energy, and spiritual power in his body burned up without reservation at that moment!

"Self-created divine skill, Moon Blade - Mountain-Shattering Earth-Splitting Slash!!!"

The two moon blades in his hands merged at that moment.

It transformed into a massive battle blade that emitted a dark golden light!

There are no fancy moves, just the simplest, most direct, and most violent vertical slash!
"Smash it, you son of a bitch!!!"

Boom! ! !
The moment the blade collided with the black divine core, the entire forbidden area trembled violently, and the ear-piercing friction sound seemed to pierce one's eardrums.

"Click."

A crisp sound rang out, particularly jarring in the silence, as the supposedly indestructible black divine core... cracked open!
Followed by.

boom!
It was completely pulverized into dust!
"Hahahaha!"

In the sky, the phantom of the God of Destruction let out a maniacal laugh.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"What destructive power!"

"Ruthless! Powerful!"

"Xie Yue, you've passed!"

"The God of Destruction has returned!"

boom!
A dark golden beam of divine power descended from the sky, enveloping Xie Yue within it.

A set of ferocious and domineering dark gold divine armor, covered with spikes and knife marks, appeared on his body.

Destroyer's Gear!

……

To the right of the forbidden area lies a realm of lustful illusions.

Unlike the ferocity and passion of Xie Yue's side.

Unlike the passionate and violent world of Xieyue, this world is a pink maze, eerily quiet.

This is a temporary site set up by the god of lust to preserve his legacy.

Lust is not simply referring to romantic love between men and women, but rather to all greed, dependence, vanity, and desire in the world.

Hu Liena was sitting cross-legged in the center of the maze.

She kept her eyes tightly closed, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her body was trembling slightly.

At this moment, she is undergoing the ninth test, the test of self-interest.

“Hu Liena…” A seductive female voice echoed in her mind.

"You must be really tired."

"From childhood to adulthood, you must always strive to be the most perfect saint."

“You still have to catch up with your two older brothers, but you are just a woman, and just a younger sister.”

The surrounding mist transformed into mirrors.

In the mirror, the image that Hu Liena longed for most deep in her heart appeared.

on the screen.

She no longer needs to cultivate, no longer needs to fight; she remains the high and mighty "little princess."

Her second brother has become a god, and can protect her from the wind and rain.

All she had to do each day was dress up beautifully, enjoy the adulation of thousands, and bask in her brother's doting affection.

There is no danger, no pressure.

"Look..." the voice continued to entice.

"As long as you give up resistance and accept this comfort."

"You can always be that carefree little princess."

"Let Hu Bai fight, let Xie Yue fight desperately."

"You just need to be beautiful, isn't that good enough?"

"Why go through all that trouble to become a god? If a girl is too strong, she won't be loved..."

This is the test given by the god of lust: dependence!

For Hu Liena, her biggest inner demon is not love, but her dependence on her family.

With such a powerful older brother, does she really need to risk her life?

Hu Liena looked at the "self" in the mirror, who seemed to have no worries about food and clothing and had a happy smile on her face.

A moment of confusion flashed in her eyes.

Yes, being a decorative vase doesn't seem so bad.

With my second brother being so strong, he would definitely be willing to support his sister for the rest of his life.

But... when her gaze fell on Hu Bai, covered in blood, in the corner of the mirror (illusion).

Her heart suddenly ached.

“No…” Hu Liena’s voice trembled slightly, but it was unusually firm.

“This is not what I want.”

She suddenly opened her eyes, and those once charming pink eyes were now burning with an indomitable flame.

“I, Huliena, am a saint. I love my two brothers, so I must not become their weakness!”

"If one day, when a powerful enemy attacks, the eldest brother and the second brother will fight a bloody battle on the front lines."

"And I could only hide behind him, trembling with fear, and even become a bargaining chip for the enemy to blackmail him..."

"Even if I were alive, I would be worse off than dead!"

Hu Liena stood up and stared directly at the illusory figure in the void. A haughty sneer appeared on her beautiful face.

"Put away your theory that 'women should be protected'."

"The beauty I desire is a rose with thorns."

"The peace and tranquility I desire comes from the empire I built with my own hands!"

"I want to stand beside him, not hide behind him!"

"I am not a slave to desire, I am the queen who controls desire!"

"Break it for me!!!"

boom!
Behind Hu Liena, nine enormous fox tails suddenly unfurled. (Bloodline fully evolved)
It is no longer just a simple pink, but has turned into a dazzling pink-gold color, full of holiness and majesty.

A massive mental storm erupted around her, shattering all the mirrors around her that symbolized weakness, dependence, and vanity.

All the pink divine power surged into her body like rivers flowing into the sea at this moment.

Her temperament underwent a dramatic change, transforming from a simple and alluring charm into a queenly aura that commands everything and makes all things submit.

"Giggle..."

Laughter from the god of lust echoed from the void, tinged with surprise but mostly with admiration.

"What an independent and self-reliant celestial fox! It seems I made the right choice."

"This divine position is yours."

A shower of pink divine light converged, and a magnificent set of pink and gold divine armor appeared on Hu Liena.

Lustful God-Tier Gear!

A first-order deity, the god of lust!

Back in place!
