As Yang Xiong had expected, his body was undergoing an extremely bizarre transformation. The Soul Bones in his limbs seemed to have undergone countless refinements, completely fusing with the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder and gradually integrating into his body.
However, even as the blood-red lightning began to engulf Yang Xiong's torso and head, these two areas seemed to form two independent worlds, possessing an innate repulsive force against external powers.
His head was relatively more peculiar; half of it was already shrouded in blood-red lightning, and even a portion of his Spiritual Sea began to be invaded by the Thunder Qilin.
But no matter how powerful the Thunder Qilin was, it couldn't do anything to Yang Xiong's torso. Even when it repeatedly injected blood-red lightning into his torso, these powers quickly vanished into nothingness, as if they had never existed.
In Yang Xiong's spiritual world, Yang Xiong and Qian Renxue still appeared to be in a standoff.
But at that moment, Yang Xiong suddenly scoffed, "Thunder Qilin, this legacy trial you've set up is incredibly clever. A normal person might pass one part of the test, but they wouldn't be able to pass the Seven Emotions and Six Desires test simultaneously. It seems you've seized upon something I've long been wary of, but do you know that I resolved this issue a long time ago? Everything you're doing is just futile."
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. "Yang Xiong, I don't know what nonsense you're spouting. How can you be so shameless? Aren't you afraid that I'll shatter with you?"
Yang Xiong glanced at Ning Fengzhi and Sword Bone Douluo, his eyes emitting an incredibly fierce aura.
"Those who trespass on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shall be killed without mercy!"
A terrifying sword energy instantly shot into the sky, directly charging towards the invading crowd.
As Yang Xiong erupted, the entire war instantly broke out, with both sides attacking their enemies.
It was an extremely brutal battle, with countless casualties on both sides. Even Yang Xiong's parents fought to the death, and even all of the Sword Bone Douluo perished.
By the final moments of the war, the scene had become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Only Yang Xiong, Ning Rongrong, and Qian Renxue remained, standing atop endless bodies.
All of Yang Xiong's relatives, friends, and enemies had fallen in this battle. Even Qian Renxue stood opposite Yang Xiong, spitting blood.
Qian Renxue appeared incredibly frenzied at this moment. "Yang Xiong, is this the outcome you wanted? I can clearly feel your immense joy and sorrow, your fear, your sadness, and even all of your Seven Emotions and Six Desires from just now. So you lost, you didn't pass the Seven Emotions and Six Desires test."
"You are ultimately just a mortal; you cannot make your heart as unyielding as a god's, nor can you abandon the greed within you."
Yang Xiong remained silent, simply pointing his longsword firmly at Qian Renxue.
Ning Rongrong, standing beside him, became incredibly distorted. "Qian Renxue, why did you do this, you lunatic! I'm going to kill you, I'm going to avenge my father and grandfather!"
However, before Ning Rongrong could continue speaking, the longsword in Yang Xiong's hand had already pierced Ning Rongrong's body, leaving only incomprehension in Ning Rongrong's eyes.
"Why?"
A tear fell from Yang Xiong's eye—a tear of blood. This tear seemed to be filled with endless resolve.
"Qian Renxue was merely a facade. You are the true Thunder Qilin. Only you could truly control my heart of love, truly make me fall."
"As expected of the Seven Emotions and Six Desires test, it truly almost made me fall. It's a pity you don't understand Ning Rongrong well enough, nor do you understand the depth of the feelings between Rongrong and me."
With that sword strike, the sky seemed to fill with endless red light. The entire world was dyed blood-red, like an Asura purgatory.
All the corpses gradually turned to ashes, and even Qian Renxue began to turn to ashes, leaving only Yang Xiong alone in this world.
And Ning Rongrong's body gradually began to change, eventually transforming into a man covered in blood-red lightning. The man's eyes were filled with endless surprise, and even anger.
Before Yang Xiong could react, the entire world began to collapse, and Yang Xiong returned to the original Thunder Pool.
At this moment, Yang Xiong quickly sensed the changes in his body. He was indeed undergoing the Seven Emotions and Six Desires test, and the God Test was already more than halfway complete. If he had made even a slight mistake just now, the consequences would have been irredeemable.
Opposite him was an extremely tall man, who was the Thunder Qilin in human form.
The Thunder Qilin spat out a mouthful of blood. "Yang Xiong, you truly live up to my expectations. I can't believe you could break through the Seven Emotions and Six Desires test so easily. It seems I underestimated you."
Yang Xiong then sneered, "So-called becoming a god requires a Soul Master to evolve their body into a Divine Body, their soul into a Divine Soul, and even their Spiritual Sea to undergo changes. This is when a Soul Master is most vulnerable."
"You probably wanted me to fall into the Seven Emotions and Six Desires test so you could take the opportunity to possess my body. Unfortunately, you miscalculated."
The Thunder Qilin let out a wild laugh. "Hahaha, it seems not only I miscalculated, but even the Asura God miscalculated! You actually know the contents of the God Test. It seems you know more than I imagined. You've even been calculating the entire world, the entire God Realm, for a long time."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "This isn't a calculation. Knowing a bit more always allows one to maintain a certain level of self-preservation. You targeted me after countless calculations, but unfortunately, you don't understand me well enough. You only analyzed a few of my battles in the Douluo World; you don't understand my true strength at all."
The Thunder Qilin roared, "You're just an ant! What good is knowing too much? This world values strength above all else. I am a high and mighty God King, and you are just an ordinary Limit Douluo. What do you have to contend with me?"
Yang Xiong sneered, "A frog in a well. I don't know how you became a God King, or how you control the order of the God Realm. No wonder the Dragon God couldn't tolerate you. With your foolish appearance, your ambition and strength are completely mismatched. No wonder you ended up so miserable back then. In terms of strength and character, you are far inferior to the Asura God, and even worse than the Sea God."
The Thunder Qilin was furious. "Presumptuous! Although you passed the Seven Emotions and Six Desires test, your torso and head haven't fully evolved. You haven't forged a Divine Body at all."
"Besides, this is my world. Even if I fail this time, I have countless opportunities, and you will never be able to leave this place. Sooner or later, you will be replaced by me."
Yang Xiong's eyes showed a hint of disdain. "Your world? Did you misunderstand something? This is no longer your world, but my world. I will be the master of this world."
The Thunder Qilin said, "What nonsense are you talking about? This Thunder Pool was created by me. No one can escape my control."
Yang Xiong shook his head. "You seem to have misunderstood something. Although I haven't completed the legacy trial, you have already passed on the God Position to me. Even if I haven't become a god now, I will be able to control the Thunder God's God Position in the future."
The Thunder Qilin was instantly shocked, transforming into a giant figure and desperately pouncing towards the Thunder God's Hammer.
But Yang Xiong's reaction was faster. His left hand had already firmly grasped the Thunder God's Hammer, and five-colored light flickered on his left hand, forcefully severing the connection between the Thunder God's Hammer and the Thunder Qilin.
No matter how furious the Thunder Qilin was, it was instantly blocked outside the Thunder God's Hammer, unable to get even a step closer.
"How is this possible? Everything about me is on the Thunder God's Hammer. It was created from my primordial power. How can it be controlled by you?"
Yang Xiong chuckled, "Thunder Qilin, if I'm not mistaken, after you were defeated by the Dragon God back then, you infused everything into this Thunder God's Hammer, including your God Position, your Soul Bone, and even your final Divine Soul."
"Unfortunately, your ambition was too great. In order to seize my body, you didn't hesitate to pass on the God Position to me. That's why your soul left the Thunder God's Hammer and desperately tried to merge with my body. Unfortunately, you failed!"
The Thunder Qilin roared, "Impossible! The Thunder God's Hammer is mine! I am one with the Thunder God's Hammer! You cannot take it from me!"
As the Thunder Qilin emitted endless lightning, the Thunder God's Hammer in Yang Xiong's hand seemed to tremble desperately, as if it wanted to fly away at any moment.
But the power emanating from Yang Xiong's left hand was not Soul Power or Divine Power, but the Creation Power that Yang Xiong had mastered. This was a power that surpassed the Five Great God Kings, something that this remnant soul of the Thunder Qilin simply could not contend with.
And under this Creation Power, the connection between the Thunder God's Hammer and the Thunder Qilin seemed to be rapidly eroding.
In just an instant, the Thunder Qilin appeared to take a heavy blow, its aura rapidly plummeting. Without the Thunder God's Hammer, this remnant soul of the Thunder Qilin was like water without a source or a tree without roots; it simply couldn't replenish its energy or maintain its peak state.
The Thunder Qilin roared, "Even if you control the Thunder God's Hammer, you cannot leave this place! This is a domain I built using the power of order; no one can break through it."
Yang Xiong sneered, "No wonder the Dragon God looked down on you. So-called order is just rules. Haven't you heard the saying, 'Rules are meant to be broken'? If you can't break existing rules, how can you become stronger?"
The Thunder Qilin's mind trembled, and it finally murmured, "Rules are meant to be broken? Then why did the Dragon God deal with me just because I violated order?"
Yang Xiong chuckled, "It seems you still don't understand why you failed. There's a saying, 'break before you build.' You were just too reckless, too unintelligent. You only knew how to break order but didn't know how to re-establish it. With order collapsing, you were naturally the primary culprit."
As Yang Xiong's words fell, a five-colored light gradually enveloped the entire Thunder God's Hammer, then slowly enveloped the entire world.
Under the illumination of the five-colored light, even as the Thunder Qilin let out enraged roars, its voice gradually diminished, and its form began to turn ethereal, finally disappearing completely from this world.
Yang Xiong looked at the Thunder God's Hammer in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head. "I forgot to tell you, above order is creation. And Creation Power is the foundation of this world, the origin of all order."
"No matter how much effort you put in, in the end, I still won. In the end, you still cleared the path for me!"
As this remnant soul of the Thunder Qilin was completely eroded away, the Thunder God truly fell.
