Yang Xiong looked at the enormous Thunder Qilin before him, his heart filled with shock, feeling as if even his soul was being crushed.
The blood-red Thunder Qilin stared intently at Yang Xiong, as if it could see through his inner thoughts. Yang Xiong felt completely exposed before the Thunder Qilin, as if even his deepest secrets were being laid bare.
Before Yang Xiong could react, a blood-red flash of lightning instantly enveloped him. He felt an immense, boundless force around him, dragging him forcefully towards the Thunder Pool.
Even with Yang Xiong's current strength, which was close to that of a god, he was completely powerless to resist at that moment. He felt as if his entire body had instantly lost all strength.
When Yang Xiong came to his senses again, he found himself in a very large temple. In the center of the temple was a huge throne, and a massive Thunder Qilin was sprawled upon it. The entire temple seemed to be filled with blood-red lightning, and even Lei Tian was standing beside him.
The Thunder Qilin actually spoke: "Not bad. I didn't expect someone in this world could truly master the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder and come here. And that person is you. It seems this world is truly destined for certain things."
Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly, and he quickly bowed: "Senior, I did not intend to offend. Please forgive me."
The Thunder Qilin ignored what Yang Xiong said and stared intently at the Asura Demon Sword in his hand, a hint of amusement appearing at the corner of its mouth: "The Asura God's successor. It seems the Asura God has decent taste, actually wanting to pass on his God Position to you."
"Judging by the Divine Power on your body, you should have already passed the Seventh Trial of the Asura Nine Trials, and are only one step away from the true Asura God inheritance."
Yang Xiong quickly spoke: "Senior, do you also know Lord Asura God?"
The Thunder Qilin let out a cold snort: "Asura, the God of Order in the God Realm, merely one of the God Kings in the God Realm. Before me, he is just a junior."
"I'm not interested in the Asura God. I am, however, a little interested in you, as expected of someone from outside this world."
Yang Xiong's expression instantly changed drastically. No one knew about his origin from Earth, not even the Asura God or the Sea God might have known. This was his deepest secret, and he hadn't expected it to be revealed so easily.
The Thunder Qilin said: "Don't be so surprised. Your little thoughts, perhaps the current Gods don't know, but I am perfectly clear. After all, nothing in the Douluo world can be hidden from me."
Yang Xiong's eyes were filled with confusion, but he didn't want to communicate with this Thunder Qilin. It was clear that this Thunder Qilin knew many things, even his secrets, and its strength was something he couldn't possibly contend with.
After all, the Thunder Qilin before him looked like it came from a Soul Beast background, and the Soul Beast race and the God Realm were at odds. It was possible this Thunder Qilin had designs on him, especially since he was already the successor to the next Asura God and wasn't far from becoming the new Asura God.
The Thunder Qilin seemed to understand Yang Xiong's thoughts. A flash of lightning flickered around its body, and the originally massive Qilin transformed into a giant dozens of meters tall, covered in blood-red lightning from head to toe. The aura of a Supreme God King was fully displayed.
"You are human. Perhaps showing myself in this form will make it a little easier for you to accept."
Yang Xiong's expression was serious: "Senior, I don't know how you know my secrets, or rather, how you know all the secrets of the entire Douluo Star. But I think Senior probably doesn't want to be targeted by the Gods of the God Realm, right?"
The Thunder Qilin laughed: "You are indeed a smart person. The Gods of the God Realm have always ostracized my Soul Beast race. But do you know that the entire God Realm was created by the Dragon God back then? If not for the Dragon God, if not for the Soul Beast race, the God Realm might have collapsed."
"Besides, although that battle back then was tragic, the Dragon God's strength was stronger than everyone else's. If he hadn't had some reservations, perhaps those like the Asura God wouldn't have been able to win."
Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected this Thunder Qilin to be related to those secrets from back then. Didn't that mean he was already involved? It probably wouldn't be so easy to get out.
The Thunder Qilin continued: "Actually, I already guessed you would come, but I didn't expect you to come so quickly. I also didn't expect your strength to be quite a bit stronger than I imagined."
Yang Xiong tentatively spoke: "Senior, since you are from the God Realm, could you tell me what kind of god you are?"
The Thunder Qilin let out a terrifying roar of laughter. The entire palace seemed to shake. Yang Xiong felt a hint of unwillingness and helplessness in the laughter. If they were in the Douluo world, even the rules probably couldn't restrain this Thunder Qilin.
"Since you are from an outer world, you should understand my status among the beast race. When Douluo Star was born, three great divine beasts descended, including the Dragon God, the Phoenix God, and myself. Later, after the Dragon God founded the God Realm, the Phoenix God disappeared without a trace because she didn't want to participate in worldly conflicts."
"And in order to maintain the stability of the world, at the Dragon God's invitation, I also joined in the construction of the God Realm. At that time, I was in charge of the order of the God Realm, and the world called me the Thunder God, also the Enforcer of the God Realm."
Yang Xiong was shocked again. He hadn't expected this Thunder Qilin before him to be the Enforcer of the God Realm. How strong could he possibly be? And what was the relationship between this Thunder Qilin and the Asura God? After all, it was widely known that the Asura God was one of the three Enforcers of the God Realm.
"Senior, as far as I know, the God Realm has three Enforcers. Were there also three Enforcers back then?"
The Thunder Qilin gave a cold snort: "Those people are merely juniors. The so-called three Enforcers exist because after the Dragon God fell, the power of judgment was split into three, which is why there are three Enforcers."
"Moreover, the matter of the Dragon God back then also served as a warning to the Gods of the God Realm. If all the power of judgment were concentrated in one person's hands, if there were only one Enforcer, it would likely lead to internal strife. That's why there are three Enforcers, and the three Enforcers are independent of each other and have similar strength, allowing for mutual checks and balances."
"Otherwise, the Asura God is merely the God of Slaughter, with pure Slaughter Qi on his body. If no one were found to contend with him, it would likely be only a matter of time before he loses control."
After hearing these words, Yang Xiong felt a moment of daze. This Thunder Qilin seemed to have said a lot, but it also seemed a bit unfocused. What did he call him here for?
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking: "Senior, since you know everything about the entire Douluo world, do you know if there are any other variables in this world besides me?"
The Thunder Qilin said: "This world is the birthplace of the Dragon God and also my birthplace. Its rules are already complete, and it's basically impossible for any variables to appear. In tens of thousands of years, only you have appeared as a variable."
"Moreover, your ability to come to this world is also somewhat related to me. You died by lightning in your world and were drawn to this world by my lightning. So, under the Heavenly Tribulation, you were able to preserve your life. This can be considered your good fortune."
Yang Xiong's expression changed slightly upon hearing this. This Thunder Qilin indeed knew a lot, even some things about him on Earth, but it was clear that his knowledge was not complete.
The Douluo world might exist independently, but there were definitely not only himself from other worlds. At least the protagonist of the original story, Tang San, came from a martial arts world.
And the Thunder Qilin's words just now were probably half-truths, at least he didn't fully understand this world.
A hint of fervor appeared in Yang Xiong's eyes: "Senior, I don't know why you asked me to come here. After all, there are differences between humans and the Soul Beast race."
The Thunder Qilin didn't say anything more, just a flash of lightning flickered throughout the space, and the scene before Yang Xiong's eyes began to change rapidly.
He saw a giant dragon spanning the sky, letting out an incredibly terrifying roar. The entire world was shaking.
But at this moment, the giant dragon seemed to have fallen into madness. Its massive dragon breath was like a world-destroying force. The surrounding environment began to wither under the dragon breath, and even the entire world was being destroyed.
There were countless extremely tall figures attacking this giant dragon, but unfortunately, even using all their strength, their power seemed extremely small compared to the giant dragon.
Yang Xiong focused on observing all the figures. Among them, several figures appeared extremely large. One of them was blood-red all over, looking full of killing intent, and it was the Asura God.
Just then, an extremely terrifying Thunder Qilin appeared in the sky. Its size was only slightly smaller than the giant dragon. The dragon and the Qilin constantly tore at each other, continuously releasing various terrifying skills.
Ultimately, the Thunder Qilin's strength was insufficient. It was enveloped by the giant dragon's seven-colored light, and its entire body was pierced by the seven-colored light. Blood-red lightning directly descended from the sky.
But the Thunder Qilin retaliated in its dying struggle, also emitting a blood-red lightning bolt from its body. This lightning bolt was like the order of the world, covered with some special power, and it struck the giant dragon's head with great force.
The giant dragon was heavily struck and let out a tragic scream. Its entire body seemed to be slightly out of control.
Just then, the entire sky turned blood-red. A blood-red figure soared into the sky, holding a blood-red greatsword in its hand. The greatsword possessed endless killing intent.
The blood-red giant used all its strength to strike, directly splitting the heavens and earth in two, and also splitting the giant dragon in half. The giant dragon instantly transformed into a golden figure and a silver figure.
The silver dragon figure directly descended from the sky and finally disappeared into the void.
And countless figures instantly appeared around, quickly attacking the golden dragon figure. Green, blue, purple, black, red, all the auras formed a huge seal, finally enveloping the golden dragon figure.
When the scene before Yang Xiong's eyes returned to normal, he was covered in cold sweat. The scene just now was too terrifying. Even every killing aura seemed capable of piercing his soul, something he simply couldn't contend with.
