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

Chapter 26 Martial Soul Seal
Inside the Beidou Academy.

"Ok?"

When Lu Xiao heard about the reward, his previously languid expression finally changed.

He abruptly sat up in the rocking chair, his gaze sharp as lightning as he looked up at the sky, a hint of surprise and extreme interest flashing in his eyes.

"The first seal of the Creation Ring?"

He whispered to himself.

He obtained this martial spirit through a special sign-in a month ago. Upon acquiring it, he discovered that it was sealed by nine mysterious and unpredictable chain-like seals, which tightly imprisoned it.

Even with his cultivation level, he couldn't budge it in the slightest.

Unexpectedly, the reward from the sky directly helped him break through the first barrier!
A golden beam of light, far thicker and more solid than any previous reward beam, seemingly composed of the purest rules, crashed down.

It was precisely injected into Lu Xiao's body!

"Buzz!"

Behind Lu Xiao, a golden halo, whose magnificence and complexity were beyond description, appeared out of thin air.

The divine halo slowly rotated, emanating a hazy yet vast aura of creation.

The most striking thing is...

Nine solid chains, seemingly formed from the rules of order, are wrapped around the divine halo, firmly sealing its power.

At that moment, as the golden beam of light poured in, one of the chains made a "crack" sound as it could no longer bear the weight.

Immediately afterwards, under the shocked gazes of Ning Rongrong and the others, it shattered with a crash, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating!
The moment the first seal shattered.

"Boom!!!"

Above Beidou Academy, the once clear sky was suddenly shrouded in endless dark clouds.

Thunderbolts filled the sky like silver snakes dancing wildly, weaving together into a destructive sea of ​​lightning.

A terrifying divine might, powerful enough to shatter even a titled Douluo's soul, suddenly descended!

The power contained within the thunder seemed intent on utterly destroying this heaven-defying object!

"Thunder Tribulation?!"

Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Dugu Yan had never seen such power of heaven and earth before. Their faces paled instantly, and their eyes were filled with panic.

"not good!"

Li Bai, who was tasting wine, suddenly focused his eyes and drew his Azure Lotus Divine Sword instantly. Thousands of azure sword energies soared into the sky, transforming into a massive lotus sword domain.

It enveloped the core area of ​​the entire Beidou Academy, isolating it from the terrifying pressure of thunder.

"Everyone, stay back!"

Li Bai shouted, while looking at Lü Bu, Sikong Zhen and others.

Lu Bu slammed his halberd to the ground, his murderous aura soaring to the heavens.

Sikong Zhen's body was crackling with lightning, seemingly forming a confrontation with the heavenly tribulation.

……

Lu Xiao looked at the sea of ​​lightning in the sky with a solemn expression. He had not expected that breaking a seal would attract a heavenly tribulation.

He instantly realized that he would likely face a tribulation of lightning every time he broke a seal.

This sparked his great curiosity and desire to explore the origin of the "Creation Ring" he obtained from the system's sign-in feature.

"Li Bai, just protect the academy."

Lu Xiao's voice returned to calm, yet carried an undeniable authority.

"This tribulation of lightning was caused by me, and it should be ended by me."

Before he finished speaking, he took a step forward and was already in mid-air.

With his right hand clenched, the purplish-gold "Radiant Extinction God-Slaying Sword," wreathed in a murderous aura that could slay gods and immortals, was firmly in his grasp!
At the same time, nine spirit rings appeared around Lu Xiao in succession.

Red, red, red, red, red, red, red, gold!
Eight reds and one gold!
An incredibly powerful soul ring configuration!
Especially the last one, which exuded a noble, ancient, and seemingly transcendent golden spirit ring.

This left Ning Rongrong and the others below dumbfounded, their minds blank.

A golden spirit ring?
What is that timeframe?
A soul ring over 100,000 years old? Lu Xiao ignored the shock below. His gaze locked onto the core of the Azure Thunder Sea, and the Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword in his hand emitted an excited hum.

"Ninth Soul Skill - Godslayer!"

There was no earth-shattering momentum, only a pure and ultimate dark golden sword aura, seemingly capable of severing the laws of heaven and earth and reducing all things to nothingness, quietly emerged from the tip of the sword, defying the heavens!

Wherever the sword energy passed, space was silently annihilated.

The raging thunder seemed to have met its nemesis.

Even the seemingly small sword energy crumbled and shattered before it.

Ultimately, it dissipates as the most primordial energy of heaven and earth!
One sword strike, and the lightning tribulation dissipates!
The dark clouds in the sky seemed to have been wiped away by an invisible hand, and the sky instantly returned to clarity.

Only Lu Xiao, bathed in a faint golden light, holding the God-Slaying Sword, with a Creation God Ring that had shattered a seal floating behind him, remained, like a god descending to earth!

"..."

The entire Beidou Academy was deathly silent.

The lightning tribulation appeared briefly and then vanished just as quickly.

The aura of destruction came quickly and went even faster, as if it were just a chance tremor in the world.

However, this brief but terrifying fluctuation was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Its ripples have already spread to every corner of the continent.

This has stirred the nerves of all the top experts.

……

Spirit Hall, inside the worship hall.

A thousand golden eyes were filled with unprecedented solemnity and astonishment.

His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of void, looking towards the direction of the Sunset Forest.

That destructive aura made even a level 99 Limit Douluo like him feel a chill in his heart.

And that fleeting, yet sharp sword aura that seemed capable of severing everything…

"Sunset Forest, there it is again."

Qian Daoliu's voice had a slightly dry quality that was barely perceptible.

"The power of that thunder just now was no ordinary celestial phenomenon. The destructive will it contained even surpassed the scope of a tribulation of lightning."

"And that sword energy, who made that move, that was able to annihilate it with a single sword strike?"

The Golden Crocodile Douluo behind him also had a somber expression.

He had just stabilized his cultivation level, which had been boosted by the reward, but he was still shaken by the distant fluctuations.

“Brother, the appearance and disappearance of that lightning are too strange, especially since it happened right after the first place on the Martial Soul Ranking was announced and the ‘Creation God Ring’ was broken from its seal.”

"The location is Sunset Forest again."

Qian Daoliu nodded slowly, a hint of understanding and a deeper sense of apprehension flashing in his eyes.

"Your guess coincides with mine. The Beidou Academy is most likely hidden deep in the Sunset Forest."

"And this lightning is probably the celestial phenomenon that Lu Xiao attracted when he broke the first seal of the 'Creation God Ring'. As for the person who annihilated the lightning tribulation..."

He paused, his tone carrying a deduction that even he himself found hard to fully believe.

"Besides him, I can't think of a second candidate. Only someone who possesses the 'Radiant Annihilation God-Slaying Sword' and can wield it to such a level could achieve such effortless power, breaking through tribulations with a single strike!"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, the worshippers were all horrified.

Although they had their own guesses, the shock of hearing it from Qian Daoliu himself was still beyond compare.

Lu Xiao not only possesses three heaven-defying martial souls.

Its own strength has actually reached a level where it can easily withstand such terrifying heavenly might?
