The young man who was strong enough to face the azure dragon and the white tiger was none other than Xiang Shaoyun. Over the past two years, Xiang Shaoyun, the dragonfish, and Little White had been breaking through on the Illusory Island. All three of them had reached a terrifying level of strength.
The dragonfish had obtained a perfect dragon skeleton and completed his transformation from a fish into a dragon. He became a third-stage Demon God, obtaining an overwhelmingly scary combat strength. He was almost unrivaled in the same cultivation level, and not even a fifth-stage God would be his match.
The dragonfish had lived for countless years in the Barbaric Dynasty’s treasure vault. He had long accumulated a terrifying amount of power. The only thing he lacked was an opportunity to break through. The dragon skeleton was no doubt the best opportunity for him, and it had helped him advance straight into becoming a dragon God.
Little White had also accumulated a decent amount of power. Not only had he absorbed a white tiger skeleton, but he had even fully absorbed the tiger tooth. Thus, he had reached the same cultivation level as the azure dragon by the end of his breakthrough.
Both azure dragons and white tigers were known for their combat strength. Little White and the dragonfish’s predecessors were mortal enemies, and they both had inherited their predecessors’ instincts to battle each other. However, Xiang Shaoyun’s existence had put a hold on their battle.
After breaking through in both his astral and devil cultivations, Xiang Shaoyun had not reached third-stage God Realm like the azure dragon and the white tiger. Rather, both his cultivations had reached second-stage God Realm. However, the combination of the two cultivations formed something that was bigger than the sum of its parts. His bloodline had transformed into a supreme divine bloodline, allowing him to overlap both of the different energies to unleash unimaginable combat strength.
With his astral cultivation alone, Xiang Shaoyun was already strong enough to punch above his class. Now that he had combined his astral cultivation with his devil cultivation, one could only imagine how terrifying he was. That was why he had been able to face both the azure dragon and the white tiger without suffering defeat.
Xiang Shaoyun had reached a level beyond any understanding. Was his physique still the same Primal Inception Physique? Naturally, his physique was still the same. In fact, it was all thanks to the Primal Inception Physique’s ability to encompass all powers, including devilish energy, that he had been able to merge both his cultivations. After all, primal inception energy was the origin of all energies.
During the past two years, Xiang Shaoyun had undergone two transformations. His god body had become even more flawless than before, reaching a level where not even ordinary god weapons could harm him. His offensive strength had also increased significantly, and his god soul had also reached fouth-stage God Realm. All in all, his improvement was terrifying.
Additionally, his astral cosmos sea had reached the size of a province. In other words, he would be able to store an entire province into his astral cosmos sea if he so wished. His astral cosmos sea had also undergone repeated transformations. Ordinary mountains and rivers formed, some random plants started growing, and numerous climates came into being. One could say that the astral cosmos sea had truly transformed into a planet capable of housing life.
The divine discerning tree had fully taken root in the astral cosmos sea. It served as the center of all the transformations, and it grew alongside the astral cosmos sea’s changes. Slowly but surely, its consciousness started following the lead of Xiang Shaoyun’s consciousness. It was only a matter of time before it grew into a guardian god of the astral cosmos sea.
It constantly gathered the primal inception energy, absorbing and releasing the energy to slowly enhance Xiang Shaoyun’s astral energy. In other words, even if Xiang Shaoyun stopped absorbing astral energy from his surroundings, the divine discerning tree would also produce astral energy within him. That was a divine tree like no other.
In truth, Xiang Shaoyun was also thinking of the divine four divisions tree. If he could get that tree and plant it alongside the divine discerning tree, he would be the proud owner of the best divine treasures in existence, treasures that could help him cultivate numerous God Realm experts.
Although he had not obtained the divine four divisions tree, he had obtained the vermilion bird fruit from the tree. The azure dragon had obtained the azure dragon fruit, while Little White had obtained the white tiger fruit. As for the black tortoise fruit, it was naturally left on the tree.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that the black tortoise had a feeling that Xiang Shaoyun was about to become the strongest human in existence, he wouldn’t have been so generous with them. After all, the fruits had been cultivated for tens of thousands of years.
In truth, the vermilion bird fruit had not played that big of a role in Xiang Shaoyun’s rapid growth. The devil cores he had gathered previously and the two god-grade spring waters were the main reasons why he had been able to reach the second-stage God Realm. Of course, the many years he had spent strengthening his foundations had also played a great role in his growth.
The Illusory Island disappeared. Weili Yana had disappeared as well. However, the black tortoise said that he would return in 1,000 years. He claimed that at that time, the strongest goddess would descend upon the world. He was confident that the goddess would surpass even Xiang Shaoyun.
Weili Yana had awakened prior to her disappearance. She had obtained the seven-point discerning heart, obtaining the ability to peek at the secrets of the heavens. She was able to take a glimpse at a tiny part of Xiang Shaoyun’s future, and she left nine words to Xiang Shaoyun: The dominion is destroyed. The overlord sheds his blood.
Did that mean that the dominion was truly going to be destroyed? Would the overlord shed blood before dying alongside the dominion?
At the time, Xiang Shaoyun smiled, patted her head, and said, “We’ll wait for you to save the dominion in 1,000 years.”
“I’ll return!” declared Weili Yana solemnly.
Before leaving, she also told Xiang Shaoyun to inform her father that she lived and that they shouldn’t be worried about her. Xiang Shaoyun gladly agreed. Xiang Shaoyun, the azure dragon, and the white tiger had stayed there for two years. Prior to leaving, they dove into the depths of the ocean to gather some god-grade and saint-grade treasures and profited greatly from their search.
The aquatic beasts around the area did not even dare to face them. The moment these beasts sensed their auras, they withdrew willingly. Some beasts close to the draconic races even took the initiative to offer the three their treasures before respectfully sending the three off.
Afterward, the two beasts transformed into their human forms. Together, the three rode atop a God Realm sea jiao as they returned to Weili Island.
Of course, to avoid any unnecessary troubles, they did not emerge from the sea surface. Rather, they traveled rapidly under the sea. In any case, people at their cultivation levels no longer feared things like fire or water. Before long, they reached Weili Island.
Weili Island was one of the weakest islands around, with their strongest expert being only a pseudo-God. The king of the island was kind and charitable, and he was loved and respected by his people. However, after Weili Yana brought a foreigner to the nameless island two years ago, a neighboring island that had eyed them for a long time finally found an excuse to attack them.
The neighboring island was none other than Crystalrock Island. For the past two years, they had demanded that Weili Island surrender to them. However, the Weili king did not submit. After a series of military campaigns, Weili Island suffered a lot of damage.
That day, Crystalrock Island deployed a large army to Weili Island for the very last time. If the Weili king remained stubborn, they would erase the entire Weili Island. They showed no mercy whatsoever.
