Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 24 Life and Slaughter

This time, however, what erupted was not vitality.

It is a terrifying, murderous aura that causes all things in heaven and earth to wither and makes even gods and demons tremble!
Amidst the intertwined crimson and gold light, a line of text appeared as if forged from countless broken divine weapons and annihilated stars.

It emerged with a fierce aura of slaughtering all gods and burying all heavens.

[Martial Soul Ranking, Second Place: Blazing Annihilation God-Slaying Sword]

[Holder: Lu Xiao (Beidou Academy)]

[Rating: Ultimate Destructive/Slaughterful Weapon Soul, born from the will of annihilation, existing solely for the slaughter of gods, containing the ultimate killing power to destroy all laws and end everything. When the sword is drawn, all paths crumble, and Ragnarok descends!]

[Rewards: Increase the age of all Soul Rings and Soul Bones by 100,000 years, obtain the Talent Domain: Divine Realm of All Heavens, inherit the God-Slaying Sword Technique, and obtain the Divine Skill: Annihilation of the Gods]

"Second place! It's still Lu Xiao!"

"Twin Martial Souls, yet another Twin Martial Soul to dominate the rankings!"

"The Blazing Annihilation God-Slaying Sword, born specifically to slay gods, what kind of martial spirit is this?"

"All his spirit rings and spirit bones have their age increased by 100,000 years? My god! What color will his spirit rings turn then?"

"Gods-Slaying Sword Technique... Annihilation of All Gods... This name is terrifying!"

crazy!

The entire Douluo Continent has gone completely mad!

If the Tree of Life still brings confusion and bewilderment...

The Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword brings the most direct and naked fear and shock.

One is an ancient tree of life born to create all things; the other is a sword of gods to slay deities.

These two completely opposite, yet equally extreme, forces actually appeared in one person at the same time!

Qibao Glazed Sect.

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 unexpectedly burst forth uncontrollably, emitting mournful sword cries.

That was the instinctive fear and submission of a low-level martial soul when facing a supreme sword emperor.

But in Chen Xin's eyes burned an unprecedented flame of fervor and despair.

"The sword that slays gods. So this is the end of the way of the sword."

He muttered to himself, his Dao heart almost collapsing, yet in the midst of the shattering, he glimpsed a vast and unprecedented world.

In the Wuhun Palace.

Qian Daoliu suddenly stood up, and the six-winged angel phantom behind him trembled slightly.

He sensed a tremendous threat originating from the very source of his martial spirit, a threat like encountering his natural enemy, Ji Dong!
"The Blazing Annihilation... It actually possesses a Martial Soul, daring to use the name of 'Slaying Gods'?"

"Who exactly is this Lu Xiao?"

His voice was filled with disbelief and horror.

On Poseidon Island.

Poseidon also paled; the strong warning from the Sea God's Martial Soul made her realize...

That sword possesses terrifying power that truly threatens even the gods!
The square of Beidou Academy was deathly silent.

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan were completely numb, their mouths agape.

Looking at that familiar yet unfamiliar name on the sky, my mind went blank.

The dean actually possesses two such heaven-defying martial souls?
And they're the second and third?
That first place.
Lu Bu and Sikong Zhen exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other's eyes.

They knew the dean was strong, but they never imagined he would be this strong.

Li Bai's gaze finally turned serious as he looked in Lu Xiao's direction and raised his wine gourd in a distant toast.

Meanwhile, Lu Xiao, who was at the center of the storm, remained lazily reclining in his chair.

Only a faint, almost imperceptible golden light entered his body. And a seed, enveloped in a rich green light and radiating boundless life force and the essence of creation, floated before him.

With the appearance of this ancient tree of life seed.

All the plants in the entire Beidou Academy and even the surrounding mountains are growing and blooming at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the rich life force is transformed into pale green light spots.

Like fireflies, they filled the entire square, as if worshipping their king.

Lu Xiao casually reached out and touched the emerald green seed that floated in front of him, radiating endless vitality and the charm of creation.

"Hmm? Seeds of the Ancient Tree of Life?"

The instant his fingertips touched the seed.

A vast and powerful flow of information instantly flooded into his mind.

That is the most fundamental information and legacy about this "seed of the ancient tree of life".

Even with Lu Xiao's mindset, which had been tempered by the system and had seen countless rare treasures, it was still difficult.

At this moment, a genuine look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

"It's actually... the seed of origin from the ancient tree of life?"

He felt a slight tremor in his heart.

His own Ancient Tree of Life Martial Soul has long surpassed the ordinary level of a God-level Martial Soul, reaching the level of the origin of laws, and can be called the embodiment of the rules of life.

The seed in his hand was not an ordinary plant seed.

Rather, it is an entity formed from the most core and purest fundamental rules of the Tree of Life!
As the owner of the Tree of Life, he knew better than anyone what this seed meant.

It is the cornerstone of life in the world, a symbol of the origin of creation!
As long as he plants this seed anywhere and nourishes it with his own soul power and the rules of life, the seed will take root and sprout, gradually growing into a new, true ancient tree of life.

At that time, no matter how barren, desolate, or lifeless that land was originally, it will be irrevocably forgotten.

Under the influence of the Tree of Life, they will all transform into the entire Douluo Continent.

No, it is a source of life and a sacred place for cultivation that even the realm of gods cannot compare to.

That place will become the cradle of life, the place where rules manifest.

Its superior environment and pure, rich energy will surpass any known paradise.

"interesting…"

Lu Xiao stroked his chin, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

"However, the resources required for this true ancient tree of life to grow are probably astronomical. Ordinary soul power is far from enough; it would require devouring a massive amount of life essence, or even..."

He did not plant the seeds immediately.

Instead, with a thought, he absorbed it into his body and gently nurtured it with the power of his own life-giving ancient tree martial spirit.

This matter is of great importance and requires careful consideration to select the most suitable location.

"Boom boom boom!"

The moment he put away the seed, the enormous reward representing the second place on the Martial Soul Ranking suddenly descended!

However, this reward was enough to make any Limit Douluo ecstatic.

Lu Xiao, however, calmly felt the subtle increase in the power within his body, his heart unmoved.

There's no other reason than that his background is simply too profound.

With his sign-in system, he used various task rewards and special items in his early years to raise the quality of his soul rings to an unbelievable level.

The soul bones in all six locations on his body have already been collected.

Moreover, they are all top-quality products produced by the system, with an age far exceeding that of ordinary 100,000-year soul bones.

This reward is simply a further solid step forward for his already formidable strength, allowing him to take another step up from the top.

Just icing on the cake.
