The Deathly Void, originating from the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone, was once a realm of boundless darkness. Its effect was to shoulder attacks for Yu Tianming—redirecting and dispersing the enemy's damage into this vast, dead zone. It was considered a god-level defensive soul skill.
Additionally, it served as a super-sized storage space, capable of holding many items.
However, once he absorbed the soul bone of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King—a million-year beast with temporal and spatial attributes—the Deathly Void expanded severalfold. A massive influx of water-element soul power surged within it, and a vast ocean swelled in the once barren expanse.
It was at that moment that a sudden inspiration struck Yu Tianming—what if he transformed this Deathly Void into an independent world?
The Mountain Dragon King's mission, as assigned by the Dragon God, had always been to become land and fill the endless ocean of Dragon God Star. Harnessing the second skill from the Mountain Dragon King's soul bone—Earth Element Control—Yu Tianming summoned countless layers of soil to rise from the void's depths. Slowly, a vast continent began to emerge from the endless sea.
As the earth rose, his fifth soul skill, Gilded Great Sun, created a scorching fireball that ascended into the skies. Radiating light and heat, it illuminated the world below and established a day-night cycle.
Thus, the Deathly Void evolved into the Water World—a miniature realm governed by complete laws.
Now, after absorbing the right leg bone of Red King and gathering all five elements—Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—the final piece of the puzzle had fallen into place. Fueled by Yu Tianming's soul skills and his guidance, Water World underwent a dramatic transformation.
Previously, this realm had only spanned a thousand li. The so-called "sun" was merely a fireball created by Yu Tianming, illuminating an area barely larger than a hall for those of great cultivation. But now, with all five elements gathered, the world began to expand at a breathtaking pace. The ocean's boundaries surged outward, waves hundreds of meters tall crashing toward the edges.
Even more astonishingly, the sea's depth increased rather than shallowed. Water spontaneously manifested from nothingness, multiplying the ocean's depth several times over.
In a flash, this world ballooned from a mere thousand li to tens of thousands—then hundreds of thousands of li in radius.
This wasn't just lateral expansion. The formerly low-hanging sky soared to incredible heights. Viewed from outside, one would see a perfect sphere—Water World had become a seamless globe, swelling outward in all directions.
Previously, the ocean floor had been nothing but the boundary of space. Now, with the world expanding, solid land emerged beneath the sea—rocky, fertile, and layered with sandy soil.
At the same time, the small central island did not expand but instead soared upward into a mountain peak ten thousand zhang high. Surrounding the world's perimeter, lands rose from the sea and became jagged mountain ranges tens of thousands of zhang tall—monolithic walls reaching into the heavens.
Between the central island and these outer peaks, four immense continents emerged in the cardinal directions. Each was ten thousand li wide, covered in mountains, lakes, and towering peaks. Yu Tianming mused that once the climate stabilized and rain began to fall, rivers and greenery would follow. In time, humans could settle there and flourish in a true paradise.
The sky, once only a thousand li high, stretched upward with the realm's expansion. In moments, the fireball "sun" became a distant pinprick, dimming as darkness threatened to swallow the world. But before shadow could overtake it, the fireball swelled, reigniting and casting light once more across the land.
Above this sun, high in the heavens, clouds infused with divine power gathered, forming layers upon layers that partially veiled the sunlight and extended to the realm's ceiling.
Below, deep in the world's foundation—tens of thousands of li down—vast chambers formed, one after another. Just as the sky gained layered heavens, so too did the earth form its own layered depths: a shadowy underworld of stacked, cavernous "pancakes."
Thus, Water World evolved into a complete miniature universe.
Upon fully absorbing the soul bones and stepping into the 100th level as a Divine Officer, Yu Tianming's cultivation began skyrocketing as the elemental world formed. In mere seconds, he had broken through to the 110th level—achieving the rank of a Third-Tier God.
At the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's lakeside villa, Yu Tianming sat in quiet meditation, watching the mountains, rivers, and seas of his inner world unfold. This realm is vast enough to house all the people of Douluo Star, he thought. It deserves a new name.
A sudden inspiration struck him. Remembering the Dragon God and Lan Xuanyu—Tang San's grandson—he whispered, "From now on, this realm shall be called the Dragon God Domain."
The transformation was complete. Just as Yu Tianming prepared to exit, catastrophe struck.
The sun dimmed. Continents cracked. The seas surged with violent waves. The clouds above scattered. The caverns below collapsed. The newly formed Dragon God Domain began to unravel.
The sun fell. The land shriveled. The ocean evaporated. In a blink, the world returned to void—utter stillness, with no light, no shadow, no past, and no future. Nothing remained.
Cycles of destruction: Formation, Existence, Destruction, Emptiness. Even the stars and dust of the cosmos must yield.
Suddenly, Yu Tianming grasped a profound truth: Nothing lasts forever. The only constant is change. Whether human, divine, or cosmic—everything follows this law.
Creation, existence, collapse, void—these are the Four Kalpas of the Buddhist cycle of worlds. The Dragon God Domain had just undergone all four stages in moments, returning to eternal stillness.
Yet in the quiet void, a spark of energy flickered.
Once again, earth, water, fire, and wind surged forth. The sun reignited. Mountains rose. Seas surged. Tempestuous winds howled, sending waves soaring. Jagged scars split the land, while dust clouds veiled the light of the sun.
Yu Tianming's heart trembled. Did the Dragon God, in granting me his legacy, also bestow that ultimate essence upon me…?
The Dragon God was the oldest soul beast, the most ancient being in existence. In primordial times, by sheer chance, he had glimpsed the universe's most fundamental forces—Creation and Destruction. From that moment, his bloodline evolved, gaining mastery over nine elements—Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Light, Darkness, Space, Time, and Stability—culminating in the dual divinities of Creation and Destruction.
During Yu Tianming's inheritance, the Dragon God's radiant soul had shattered. Within it had resided a nine-colored orb, the Dragon God Core—his essence crystalized. Though most of its energy had dissipated into the Dragon Valley's micro world, a thread of mysterious essence had quietly merged into Yu Tianming's body.
Only now, with his inner realm destroyed and restored, had this essence awakened—rekindling the Dragon God Domain.
…
Time flows unnoticed in cultivation. Seasons fade without meaning.
Compared to the brief moment of collapse, the reformation of the Dragon God Domain was slow. Months passed in the blink of an eye.
Yu Tianming remained unmoving, like a statue. Dust settled upon him. Were it not for the faint breath of life, one might mistake him for a corpse.
"Should we clean him up, Sister?" Ah Zhi glanced at the dusty figure and asked softly.
Ah Zhu, tending the Blue Silver Emperor, turned and solemnly replied, "Though he looks dusty, it won't harm him. If he's at a crucial point in cultivation, interfering could bring disastrous consequences."
Ah Zhi nodded and said no more, joining her sister in tidying the house.
Now that Yu Tianming was deep in cultivation, the household staff had been dismissed. Only Ah Zhu and Ah Zhi remained to care for the villa. Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong stayed as well, though the sisters took charge of all household matters.
Though their innate soul power wasn't high, the sisters had followed Yu Tianming since childhood. After consuming high-grade medicinal herbs, including a fire-water elemental pair before Sea God Island, and enduring nearly a decade of training, they had achieved great progress: one had reached Soul Douluo, the other was an 80th-level Soul Saint.
On a continent with fewer than 30 Titled Douluo, their strength ranked among the elite. Together, their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, honed within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, could overwhelm even a Titled Douluo.
As they rested, Ah Zhi glanced at Yu Tianming. "I've been stuck at level 80 for so long. When he wakes up, will you already be at level 90, Sister?"
Ah Zhu chuckled softly. "You're the Sea God's heir. Once you reach Titled Douluo, your divine trial begins. You'll catch up in no time. I'm not as lucky—I can only rely on my own strength to reach godhood."
"That's not fair," Ah Zhi pouted. "You absorbed the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent's core for your seventh soul ring, and Red King's sacrifice for your eighth. Your martial soul's completely evolved! You used to be a Red Flood Dragon, now you're a Nine-Headed Hydra! I can feel the difference when we use our fusion."
Ah Zhu didn't reply, only shook her head.
The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, whose cries sounded like a baby's wail, originated from ancient legend. It had nine heads, breathed both fire and water, and its core possessed immense power. After Ma Hongjun consumed its core, his Phoenix martial soul mutated into the Ten-Headed Fire Phoenix.
Ah Zhu, whose original martial soul was a Red Flood Dragon with fire and spiritual properties, underwent similar transformation. But instead of a grotesque ten-headed form, her soul evolved into the elegant Nine-Headed Hydra.
With both her fire and mental attributes vastly enhanced, her physical strength and vitality also soared. Unless all nine heads were severed at once, she could not be killed. She had transformed from a stealthy assassin into an indomitable warrior.
As the two women rested, Yu Tianming's strength soared alongside the rebirth of his Dragon God Domain—breaking through to level 120 and pressing onward toward level 130.
