Inside the Awakening Hall.
Murong Shayue was also deeply shaken. Under that oppressive aura, he had seen a terrifying being: nine dragon heads with disdainful eyes, looking down upon all living beings, and various energies erupting forth, capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.
He felt like an ant, unable to muster any will to resist, and could only quietly await his death.
The purplish-black beam of light dissipated, and Murong Huai's figure fell from the sky. Murong Shayue reacted quickly and caught him, but Murong Huai had already fainted.
Seeing this, Murong Shayue quickly checked the rest of the body and found that they had only fainted and were otherwise unharmed. He breathed a long sigh of relief and looked to the side, where Bibi Dong had also fainted under that oppressive force.
At this moment, several figures arrived at the Awakening Hall. It was Qian Pocheng and his group. Upon seeing Murong Shayue inside, they quickly inquired:
"Third brother, we just sensed a terrifying energy emanating from the Awakening Hall. Do you know what happened?"
Murong Shayue nodded, and then explained everything that had just happened to everyone.
"This is how it happened..."
"..."
Hearing Murong Shayue's account, everyone was astonished, partly because two individuals possessing twin martial souls had appeared in a single day.
On the other hand, the oppressive aura actually came from the awakened martial soul of the six-year-old child in front of them. What a powerful martial soul that must be!
"We'll have to wait until the child wakes up to discuss everything..."
Qian Pocheng thought for a moment, then said to the group:
"No one is to leak what happened today, understand?"
"Yes, Your Excellency."
...,
Beyond Douluo Star, in the distant realm of gods.
In a blood-red palace, a man clad in blood-red armor sat on his throne. Sensing something, he suddenly opened his eyes, abruptly stood up, looked around in confusion, and murmured:
"What happened? I clearly felt a powerful force, and then it disappeared? Could it be that the Destroyer's strength has increased again?!"
The other five God-Kings of the Divine Realm Committee also sensed something, but after failing to find anything, they let the matter drop.
Because that energy came and went very quickly, and was ethereal and invisible, even a group of god-kings could not detect its exact location.
...
Douluo Continent.
Inside the Murong Manor, Murong Huai slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with excitement, yet also tinged with worry. He knew what his second martial soul was the moment it awakened.
"My God, my second martial soul is actually the Nine-Headed Chimera, the God of Divine Retribution—Austin Griffin!!!"
In the world of the Throne of Gods, the most terrifying powerhouse crushes all living beings. Even the strongest demon, the heaven-defying demon dragon Feng Xiu, or the protagonist who possesses the ultimate artifact, the Throne of Gods of Eternity and Creation, are no match for him. He is a truly terrifying existence.
Austin Griffin's nine-headed chimera form possesses nine elemental abilities, each head representing a unique element: light, fire, wind, ice, poison, earth, metal, lightning, and the most powerful destruction—all are the ultimate attributes.
Murong Huai was excited that this terrifying existence had become his martial soul, but he was also worried because he knew that Austin Griffin's ninth head possessed ultimate destructive power.
It represents the ultimate destructive will of the god of divine retribution. Once this head grows out, the will of the previous eight heads will be completely suppressed, devoid of any rationality, triggering world-destroying actions that will annihilate the world and destroy planes wherever they go.
Murong Huai wasn't sure if he could remain unaffected by the ninth head, after all, the God of Divine Punishment was too terrifying, and apart from the Creator God, no one could defeat him.
However, there's no need to worry about these things too much right now. Once he grows his ninth head, he'll at least reach the level of a nine-ring titled Douluo, or perhaps even become a god. It's still a long way off.
"Hey, it seems that the Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena in the Lake of Life also possesses nine attributes, including time, space, and destruction attributes. I wonder who is stronger between her and Austin Griffin."
However, Murong Huai didn't care too much. He had confidence in Austin Griffin, who was a terrifying powerhouse on par with the Creator God. Even if he were to rise again, he would probably be on par with the Dragon God.
After getting up and stretching for a bit, Murong Huai washed up briefly and then went to the main hall.
Inside the main hall sat several figures: the seven high priests, the Pope, and the two protectors. Upon seeing Murong Huai enter, Murong Shayue introduced them:
"Huai'er, come and greet the honorees, the Pope."
Murong Huai bowed to the group.
"Murong Huai has met several senior patrons, His Holiness the Pope, and elders."
Qian Pocheng, seated at the head of the table, nodded and said in a gentle voice:
"I will call you Huai'er from now on. Huai'er, when you awakened your martial soul yesterday, you unleashed an extremely terrifying pressure. I wonder what kind of martial soul you awakened. Let me see."
The others also looked at Murong Huai, who nodded. These were all high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall, trustworthy individuals. Then, a golden light flashed in his right hand, and a longsword appeared.
"This is my first martial soul, the Immortal Lord Nine-fold Sword."
Murong Huai was completely unaware of his mutated martial soul. Once he learned about it, he was shocked to discover that the Immortal Lord Nine Ascends Sword was an incredibly powerful martial soul, possessing the ultimate metal and spatial attributes. It was an absolute super martial soul. With just the Immortal Lord Nine Ascends Sword, Murong Huai was confident that he could reach level ninety-nine and even become a god.
Then, Murong Huai sheathed the Immortal Lord Nine Descent Sword. He knew that the others hadn't come for his first martial soul. He then mobilized the power within his body, and instantly, a surge of purplish-black energy erupted behind him. The group of powerful figures held their breath and watched intently.
Then a creature with two dragon heads appeared, resembling a lizard. The tops of its two heads were gold and red, respectively, and its body was covered with strangely patterned scales. It also had a short tail.
In short, it was nothing special!
Everyone looked completely bewildered, exchanging bewildered glances, their eyes seemingly saying...
You mean this thing? Yesterday, some kind of pressure made me kiss a floor tile mouth-to-mouth?
To bring down the entire population of an entire city?
Is that correct?
Qianpo City was also somewhat puzzled, and Murong Shayue asked:
"Huai'er, your martial spirit..."
Upon hearing this, Murong Huai naturally understood his grandfather's meaning and explained:
"Grandpa, seniors, my second martial soul is called the Nine-Headed Chimera – Austin Griffin."
Everyone was completely bewildered, clearly having never heard of this creature before. Murong Huai continued:
"It also has another title: God of Divine Punishment!!"
The appearance of the God of Divine Punishment, though the crowd did not understand what kind of creature it was, revealed that any martial spirit daring to bear the name of a god was undoubtedly an extremely powerful one.
In the world today, only the six-winged angel of the Spirit Hall and the sea god of the Seagod Island overseas are god-level spirits, and they are among the most terrifying existences on the continent.
Qian Pocheng was also unable to remain calm. This was definitely a god-level martial soul, and not just a simple one. Even the six-winged angel and the sea god did not have such terrifying pressure when they awakened.
If nurtured further, he will absolutely become a super being who crushes all living beings, and may even become a god.
This was the only thought in everyone's mind: the Spirit Hall's full-fledged cultivation of him would surely lead the Spirit Hall to glory!
