Chapter 290 - Chapter 290: The Final Piece of the Puzzle

In the skies above, a massive and strange eye appeared—its pupil shimmering with all the colors of the rainbow. This enormous eye slowly rotated, as if searching for something hidden in the world below.

The moment it locked eyes with her, the stunned and speechless Demon Empress felt a surge of terror. That gaze—it wasn't simply watching her. It overwhelmed her entire being. Despite her identity as a million-year Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, one of the highest beings on the Douluo Continent, she felt—for the first time in her life—a deep, almost instinctive urge to kneel.

'How… how can this be?'

She was one of the strongest soul beasts in history. How could a single gaze make her feel so insignificant? So… powerless?

But this eye was different. It wasn't merely powerful—it was the embodiment of existence itself. That eye was like the "Eye of the World," representing the vastness of the heavens and the laws of the universe. Before it, all lifeforms, no matter how mighty, were nothing more than specks of dust in the cosmos.

A voice echoed through the skies.

"Submit to me, Deep Sea Demonic Whale King. Only through surrender can you obtain the power you seek for revenge. The path to godhood has long been in my grasp. Your submission will become a crucial step in my ascension. Pledge yourself to me—pledge yourself to the power of Creation—and I shall grant you everything you desire. Even… the resurrection of your husband is within my power."

Startled, the Demon Empress snapped her gaze toward the voice. She hadn't even noticed him before, but suddenly, beside the Snow Empress, a human had appeared.

His presence was frightening in its calmness. More terrifying still was the third eye in the center of his forehead—an eye identical to the massive one still looming in the sky. It radiated the same divine energy, the same pressure of truth, order, and creation.

This human… was none other than Huo Yuhao.

By now, having inherited the powers of both the God of Destruction and the God of Life, Huo Yuhao had thoroughly grasped the essence of the power of Creation. His Creation-Extinction Eye had evolved to a level so terrifying that it rivaled the divine itself.

Even the Snow Empress, standing at his side, had lowered her head in reverence the moment he activated his eye. In the face of the power of Creation, no being in this world could look up and remain proud.

Words became unnecessary.

Under the gaze of the Creation Eye, the Demon Empress could no longer resist. Her inner fury, her grievances, her sorrow—all were washed away in the tidal wave of divine majesty.

She bowed her head low and spoke solemnly.

"I… no… this insignificant one has seen your greatness. What Snow Empress said was true. If you can truly help me avenge my husband, I am willing to give you everything I have."

And just like that, the Demon Empress—who in the future would have led an unprecedented war of bloodshed and vengeance—surrendered. Not through fear alone, but through awe and conviction.

With her subdued, the Sun Moon Empire's navy was finally able to proceed with their voyage to the new continent without worry. Six months later, they arrived at the new landmass where the future relocated Star Luo Empire would eventually rise.

During this journey, Huo Yuhao completed the soul contract with the Demon Empress, absorbing her as his seventh spirit ring.

This spirit ring, unlike the platinum-hued million-year rings produced from ordinary beasts, was a brilliant, dazzling gold. And yet, within that radiance, faint traces of violet-gold energy swirled, born from the centuries of evil and hatred festering within the Demon Empress.

Due to her unique nature and mismatch with Huo Yuhao's two martial souls, she became the ideal candidate for his martial soul avatar's seventh ring—further strengthening his godly path.

Now, his ascension to godhood was within reach. Only one final piece remained. Once acquired, Huo Yuhao would become the first being in the universe to self-create a divine position: the Creation God.

That last piece was the remains and soul fragments of the Dragon God, hidden deep within Dragon Valley on the Star Luo continent.

With his strength and the help of both the God of Destruction and the God of Life, locating and absorbing the Dragon God's remnants would pose little challenge. The Sun Moon Empire navy had already swept through the continent with overwhelming force, bringing it swiftly under imperial rule.

Using the resonance between the power of Creation and the lingering aura of the Dragon God, Huo Yuhao quickly discovered the entrance to Dragon Valley. Manipulating the laws of heaven and earth, he bypassed the restrictions meant to keep soul masters out and stepped into a hidden sub-world.

There, scattered across a colossal valley, were countless dragon skeletons.

Huo Yuhao moved methodically through the Dragon Tomb, extracting each valuable soul bone and absorbing the lingering remnants of soul consciousness sealed within them. One by one, he placed the bones into his storage device, all while searching for the Dragon God's true remains.

At last, he arrived at the heart of the tomb: a massive pit over ten kilometers wide. The moment he stood at its edge, he could feel it—the raw, unfiltered energy of Creation, rushing upward from the depths.

Looking down, he saw a swirling mass of seven-colored light cloaked in a dense fog, making it impossible to clearly see the bottom. But there was no doubt. What lay at the bottom… was the Dragon God's remains.

A small, confident smile appeared on Huo Yuhao's lips.

"This is it… the final piece."

But he didn't jump in right away. Instead, he closed his eyes, focusing his mind and will.

Then, he opened his Creation-Extinction Eye.

In that moment, Huo Yuhao became the bridge between the small world and the divine realm. High above, the Gods of Life and Destruction responded to the signal of his breakthrough. They channeled their divine powers into his eye, elevating him to a level equal to the Dragon God's fragmented soul.

Now, Huo Yuhao was truly the embodiment of Creation. No longer just a soul master or a prodigy—he was the very concept of genesis made flesh.

Opening his eyes once more, they now appeared as mismatched heterochromatic irises: one glowing purple, the other emerald green.

Taking a deep breath, Huo Yuhao gently stepped into the pit.

Using his mastery over the laws of nature, he erased the gravity below, allowing himself to descend slowly, effortlessly, like a falling feather.

After a period of floating downward, he reached the rainbow-hued barrier protecting the Dragon God's soul.

If anyone else had approached this place, they would have been annihilated in an instant. The protective aura, formed from pure Creation energy, would have wiped their existence from the world without warning. No soul master, no creature—not even a god—could step through without the proper qualifications.

But Huo Yuhao was different.

He wasn't merely a guest in this sacred space—he was its rightful heir.

As he neared the barrier, it trembled.

And then, like parted waters, it opened before him.

Huo Yuhao descended into the heart of the Dragon God's legacy, unchallenged, unopposed—welcomed.
