Douluo Continent: The Eternal Order of the Azure Sky

Chapter 241 The Unity of Saint and Evil and the First Demon Puppet

The pale golden phantom of the Holy Spirit Puppet, shifting between reality and illusion, hovered silently behind Kong Tianxu. Above its vertical eye, a blood-red soul ring pulsed slowly with a peculiar rhythm.

With just a wisp of soul power injected into it, a surging, almost violent, evil aura would rise into the sky, instantly making the mysterious black and white patterns on the puppet's six tentacles even more vivid, as if they had come to life.

Strangely enough, when black and white collide, they actually form a fusion, creating small vortexes resembling the shape of Tai Chi.

They both clashed with each other, yet strangely maintained a dynamic balance.

Kong Tianxu stood quietly, as if he himself were the fulcrum of balance.

With a slight thought, the pair of starry holy wings slowly unfolded behind him.

The once pure and flawless wings are now quite different. The dazzling starlight still flows and shines, as magnificent as ever, but deep, dark lines, like cracks in the universe, have appeared on the wing surface.

These patterns divide the sacred wings into fragments, as if they are about to completely disintegrate at any moment, yet strangely maintain a perpetual and stable unity of opposites.

It is both evil and sacred.

Beside him, Yunze had already been lulled to sleep by someone. Brilliant golden light condensed from the void, and Ye Xishui's figure silently appeared.

She bowed respectfully.

"Congratulations, Master, you have achieved oneness with the Holy and the Evil."

"It's just a soul bone." Kong Tianxu put away the Starry Sacred Wings.

Soul bones are mainly formed from the blood essence of soul beasts. Since the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's bead already encompasses this part, even though it has a cultivation of 100,000 years, it has not produced any soul bones.

Or rather, the bead itself is a kind of alternative soul bone that can combine with a certain part of a soul master's body, or even transform the entire body.

The purebred unicorn's external soul bone had been deeply corrupted by the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and could not even be completely eradicated. Kong Tianxu simply transferred the power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger into it, helping this invaluable external soul bone to return to perfection and officially evolve.

The unity of saint and evil, although only in the soul bone, has given him infinite possibilities for the future.

Moreover, the things born from the collision and fusion of the two are not limited to this.

The first soul ring shone with crimson light. The Holy Spirit Puppet's six wings pointed forward, and a gray stream of energy drifted out from within the crimson soul ring.

Immediately afterwards, a deep roar resounded, and a huge phantom of a beast's head quickly solidified in front of him.

It was clearly a tiger's head, its entire body as black as ink, yet it emitted a milky white luster, and its eyes flickered with intense crimson flames.

The moment it appeared, waves of evil energy filled the air.

Moreover, the appearance of this giant tiger head is not the end, but the beginning.

Its massive, jet-black body seemed to emerge from another dimension, slowly revealing itself. Thick tiger claws extended, and its enormous form gradually came into view.

This is none other than the Dark Demon God Tiger from before!

However, unlike the previous one, this Dark Demon Tiger was slightly smaller and had a rather dull look in its eyes, appearing rather unintelligent.

This is one of the core abilities of the puppet-type martial soul – the Soul Puppet.

The spirit controlled by Kong Tianxu's Holy Spirit Puppet is neither the blood soul of Ye Xishui's Blood Soul Puppet nor the beast spirit of Zhongliwu's Death God Puppet. Instead, it is more like a unique soul spirit that retains some of the physical characteristics and power of its former body.

Although its combat power is not at its peak, it is not far off. What is even more remarkable is that it still retains the possibility of cultivating and growing on its own.

This is the first demonic puppet of the Holy Spirit Demonic Puppet Martial Soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

However, Kong Tianxu summoned it, clearly not for the purpose of fighting.

He strolled leisurely to the Dark Demon God Tiger, found a comfortable spot on its large, glossy belly, sat down, and even patted its massive head with a contented air. The Dark Demon God Tiger's dull eyes flickered, and it let out a submissive grumble.

His voice was calm and even: "Tell me, what exactly happened during the year I was gone?"

"Yes, Holy Emperor."

Ye Xishui's eyes were cold.

Several days later, on the edge of the plain.

Three figures, one man and two women, strolled leisurely from the horizon.

All three possessed outstanding temperament and striking appearance. However, on the official road leading to Shrek City, there were many more young men and women traveling together than usual.

In addition, all three of them deliberately concealed their presence, appearing unassuming, and thus not particularly conspicuous in the bustling crowds of early spring.

The three were none other than Kong Tianxu and his group, who had returned from the Starfall Forest. After several days of traveling and spending time together, they finally...

He returned to Shrek City.

As the premier city on the Douluo Continent, Shrek City boasts a permanent population of over two million. Located at the intersection of three major empires, it is a well-connected and bustling commercial hub. Thanks to the presence of Shrek Academy, the city enjoys excellent public security and a reputation for fair trade, making it the preferred hub for cross-border trade among merchants from the three empires. Its commercial prosperity is unparalleled on the continent.

The area around the East Gate was unusually noisy at this moment.

On one hand, it was a crucial time for Shrek Academy's outer court students to prepare for the inner court examinations; on the other hand, several powerful merchant guilds and banks also chose to conduct their annual large-scale transactions here. This city gate, which was usually mainly used by the academy, had now become the focus of people and wealth.

Countless merchants had already caught wind of the event and were trying to get a share of the profits from this annual trade fair between the three countries.

However, unlike the bustling commercial activity of previous years, most people's attention and amazement were not directed at the dazzling array of stalls on both sides of the street, but rather at a colossal building that had just been completed.

Even with just a rough estimate, this tower-shaped building is already over two hundred meters tall and occupies a vast area, far exceeding other buildings in Shrek City, giving it a commanding view of the surrounding landscape.

What is most striking is that it stands out from the surrounding antique architectural style, exuding the cold luster and precise texture unique to metal, clearly the work of the Soul Guidance Architect of the Sun Moon Empire.

Several huge soul-guided screens are scattered across the four sides of the tower, currently playing clear dynamic images to ensure the best viewing experience from every angle.

This is precisely the remote live-streaming soul guidance system from the Sun Moon Empire.

After news of Kong Tianxu's death spread, the Sun Moon Empire maintained great restraint, but it did not refrain from using any of its ruthless methods.

Although He Caitou and Huo Yuhao had the Qingying Douluo Song Lao to meet them first, the other eight unlucky guys didn't have it so easy. Fan Yu, in particular, was detained on the day the news broke.
