The will of the Ancient God of Destruction is entirely different from the Human King’s Will of Mountains and Rivers and Ye Gushan’s Sword Demon Will.
This will of the Ancient God of Destruction is domineering, aloof, and utterly disdainful, destroying anyone who displeases it!
Boom!
Ling Xiao’s body disintegrated once more, this time more thoroughly than before, almost turning into dust in the air.
His soul was also rapidly fading, and he suddenly felt as if he had lost all will to resist, allowing his soul to be devoured by the terrifying destructive will.
Suddenly, from the depths of his soul, a brilliant light shone like the sun in the night.
It wasn’t the Will of Mountains and Rivers, nor the Sword Demon Will, but Ling Xiao’s own will!
From childhood to adulthood, he had endured countless hardships yet never gave up. His will represented resilience and an unyielding spirit.
“Fight!”
In the next moment, his disintegrated body rapidly reformed.
Most remarkably, his own will was like a blazing red sun, with the Will of Mountains and Rivers and the Sword Demon Will orbiting it like stars.
The three forces merged into one, crashing fiercely against the will of the Ancient God of Destruction.
“Why! How can a mere human’s will match mine! I am the God of Destruction, the deity of destructive beasts!”
Boom!
Amidst unwilling roars, the body of the Ancient God of Destruction collapsed, completely perishing and vanishing.
Thereafter, this powerful will merged into the Ancient Hell Dragon martial soul, combining to form an even stronger will.
Destruction Will, third level!
In an instant, it reached the third level, surpassing the Will of Mountains and Rivers by one level and the Sword Demon Will by two!
Truly worthy of a god, even if this god’s strength in the Primordial Era was inferior to the nine ancient divine dragons, it was still stronger than most kings of the Primordial races.
Thus, its will, merged with the Ancient Hell Dragon, naturally became even more powerful.
Boom!
Boom!
Suddenly, Ling Xiao felt a violent roar within his spiritual sea. Alarmed, he looked inward and discovered that the Ancient Hell Dragon was clashing with Ye Gushan.
No wonder the Human King had warned that it was best to touch only one fossil, or else one would surely suffer harm.
The two were fighting within Ling Xiao’s spiritual sea, and if they went berserk, Ling Xiao estimated his soul would sustain severe damage, ultimately shattering completely.
“Dragon Butcher, Ye Gushan, it’s been a while!”
Just as Ling Xiao was panicking about how to resolve this, another figure appeared in his spiritual sea.
This figure, clad in flowing white robes with long black hair cascading over shoulders, stood before the Ancient Hell Dragon and the Ancient Sword Demon Lord like a tiny ant, yet his aura was stronger than both monsters.
It was as if he were the entire world, and the world was him.
Behind him, a perfect Mountains and Rivers World took shape, vibrant and immensely powerful.
The Human King!
It was indeed the Human King!
“Damn you, Ji Xuanyuan, it’s you! So it was you who helped this kid subdue me!”
The true name of the Ancient Hell Dragon was, astonishingly, “Dragon Butcher,” a truly domineering name.
“Big Brother Human King, I never thought we’d meet again. This time, I must spar with you once more!”
Ye Gushan looked at the Human King excitedly.
The Human King, Ji Xuanyuan, glanced at Ling Xiao and smiled, “Dragon Butcher, you’re mistaken. My Mountains and Rivers martial soul is entirely different from his. He subdued you through his own ability, not mine. But today, since he found the stone house where I once cultivated, I’ll lend him a hand!”
“What do you mean, you want to take on both of us alone?”
Dragon Butcher sneered.
“Exactly!”
The Human King’s image smiled.
Though they were communicating through soul power, the entire exchange took place within Ling Xiao’s body, so he could hear it all clearly.
“Hahaha, then let’s fight! This is just the last remnant of my consciousness anyway. It’d be nice to destroy yours before I fully fade!”
Dragon Butcher laughed heartily.
“Big Brother Human King, my apologies!”
Ye Gushan naturally understood the Human King’s strength, so he didn’t find it unfair for the Human King to face them both.
A battle between masters from a hundred thousand years ago, even if only a contest of residual souls, was nearly impossible to witness.
Ling Xiao felt his breathing grow uneven.
But these three were too inconsiderate, fighting inside someone else’s spiritual sea like that.
His head hurt terribly!
Boom!
Three terrifying forces surged within his spiritual sea, and Ling Xiao felt as if his head were splitting apart.
“Destroy everything!”
“Kill!”
Dragon Butcher and Ye Gushan were likely teaming up for the first time in a hundred thousand years, though back on the battlefield, they had joined forces to slay many human powerhouses.
Their combined attack was far more than the sum of its parts, three or four times stronger than their individual efforts!
“Whether it’s destruction or slaughter, none can escape the Mountains and Rivers World!”
The Human King slowly raised his hand, and a vast, terrifying will erupted, like the heavens pressing down.
It was as if the entire world had turned upside down, bearing down on Dragon Butcher and Ye Gushan.
Before this terrifying will, the wills of Dragon Butcher and Ye Gushan began to crumble and vanish.
“Ji Xuanyuan, you ****, you’re as powerful as ever!”
“Big Brother, even after a hundred thousand years, I’m still no match for you!”
The voices of Dragon Butcher and Ye Gushan echoed in Ling Xiao’s mind, but their residual self-consciousness had completely dissipated.
This was necessary, as only with their self-consciousness gone could Ling Xiao fully control these two martial souls.
“Your name is Ling Xiao, right?”
The Human King’s image was also fading, but he still had time to say a few words to Ling Xiao.
“Yes!”
“Your Mountains and Rivers martial soul was inherited from me, yet you’ve broken it down and rebuilt it into something entirely your own, a world of your own making. What this world becomes depends entirely on you; there’s no need to be bound by my fighting style.”
The Human King said slowly.
“This junior understands.”
Receiving guidance from the Human King was undoubtedly an honour, and what he said was true. After breaking down and rebuilding the Mountains and Rivers martial soul, it was almost a barren wasteland, and everything had to be created by Ling Xiao himself.
What kind of Mountains and Rivers World he would achieve was up to him; the Human King could neither help nor should.
“Then, until we meet again!”
With that, the Human King’s image fully dissipated, merging into Ling Xiao’s Mountains and Rivers martial soul, losing all self-consciousness.
“Thank you, Your Majesty Human King!”
Ling Xiao felt the complete disappearance of the Human King’s consciousness, and at the same time, the three wills fully became his own.
Then, he sat cross-legged and began to comprehend the legacies of Ye Gushan and the Ancient God of Destruction.
