In the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang eyes, Su Cheng sat cross-legged with his eyes closed tightly.
A deep blue longsword lay across his knees, while nine soul rings silently hovered beneath his feet.
At this moment, if there were other strong individuals nearby, they would notice that both Su Cheng's martial soul and the soul rings under his feet were in an extremely unstable state.
A powerful aura surged outward like waves, then gradually receded, only to surge out again stronger moments later, repeating the cycle.
During this process, his own momentum continued to brew, and the longsword on his knee trembled silently.
The excellent quality of the sword martial soul gave a contradictory feeling.
It was sharp and fierce to the point of being incomprehensible, yet fragile like porcelain, as if it would shatter in the next moment.
After a while, the terrifying aura on Su Cheng began to gradually decline until it subsided completely, and he slowly opened his eyes.
Then, he took out a scroll from his bosom and began to read it.
"The Great Asura Hammer is truly extraordinary. Tang Chen deserves to be called a peerless genius rare in the Douluo Continent for a thousand years."
The reason why the Haotian Sect could become the number one sect on the continent and the Haotian Hammer could possess the reputation of the number one martial soul in the world was entirely due to Tang Chen's legacy.
If it weren't for Tang Chen creating various Haotian techniques, the Haotian Sect would never have reached its current height. Without the blessings of those self-created soul skills, the Haotian Hammer would just be an exceptionally powerful martial soul, on par with martial souls like the Seven Kill Sword.
In Su Cheng's view, whether it was Tang San and Bibi Dong with their twin martial souls, Qian Renxue with her innate twenty-level soul power, or Qian Dao Liu and Bo Saixi, who were guardians of the gods, they were all undoubtedly much inferior in terms of talent compared to Tang Chen.
If not for lack of opportunity, he would definitely have had the chance to become a god, and perhaps wouldn't even need to inherit the position of a predecessor god.
It had been nearly half a year since Bibi Dong ascended to the rank of Title Douluo.
In the past few months, the two of them had mainly been hunting soul beasts.
With Su Cheng's powerful perception ability, they had successively killed two hundred-thousand-year Soft Boned Rabbits and three bloodline-resonating Thousand Jins Ant Emperors, raising Bibi Dong's Devouring Spider Emperor to the sixth ring level.
At this point, Su Cheng voluntarily stopped adding soul rings to her second martial soul, only sharing the information about the soul beasts obtained from the previous simulations with her.
In the short term, Bibi Dong's body had reached a limit, requiring both physical and spiritual recuperation.
Especially considering that after adding the seventh soul ring, there would be the appearance of the martial soul's true body skill, and the Devouring Spider Emperor would undergo another qualitative change, it couldn't be rushed.
Next, she would rely on raising her soul power cultivation to level ninety-six and using the four hundred-thousand-year soul bones she had obtained to cultivate the innate technique to improve her foundational strength, then continue to break through after the foundation was solid.
Su Cheng estimated that when Bibi Dong's second martial soul had all nine positions with soul rings attached, her soul power would reach approximately level ninety-eight. By then, relying on the powerful talent of the twin martial souls, even if she couldn't surpass Bo Saixi, she would be enough to restrain her.
After that, Bibi Dong returned alone to the Martial Soul Hall, taking over the authority of the Pope and initiating trade negotiations with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Meanwhile, Su Cheng went alone to the Haotian Sect to seek the secret technique of the Great Asura Hammer.
He wanted to learn about the principle of exploding rings from the Haotian Sect's unique techniques.
The entire operation went smoothly without any major mishaps, but what made Su Cheng secretly vigilant was the appearance of Tang San among the new disciples of the Haotian Sect.
The other party's temperament was too special, and his soul aura was also different from the others, easily detected by him.
Moreover, Tang San also possessed twin martial soul talent. However, this time, his second martial soul was not the Blue Silver Emperor, but another powerful plant-based martial soul.
After some thought, Su Cheng did not act against Tang San.
Apart from not wanting to harm a child, the most crucial factor was that the appearance of the other party likely indicated that there might be other hidden factors behind this matter.
The simulation was about to end, and there was no need to complicate matters further. Obtaining this information was sufficient.
After obtaining the secret technique from Tang Tian, Su Cheng left the Haotian Sect.
The process of obtaining the secret technique went smoothly.
With his strength there, Tang Tian had no intention of resisting.
The technique was dead, but people were alive. Currently, among the elders of the Haotian Sect at the Soul Douluo level, only one remained alive. As the only titled Douluo of the sect, Tang Tian was already in a difficult position.
Having served as the Sect Master for decades, he was obviously not reckless. In the face of insufficient strength, it was only natural to yield.
With the secret technique in hand, Su Cheng went directly to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes to study the energy of soul rings and further perfect the content of the third volume of the Innate Technique. He stayed there for several months.
"Cheng Xue."
Just then, a graceful figure flew in from outside the valley.
Su Cheng stood up and looked over. The person who came was indeed Bibi Dong.
"I've brought you what you wanted."
As she spoke, the stunning figure landed in front of Su Cheng.
At this point, Bibi Dong's attire had changed to the exclusive attire of the Pope of the Hall of Martial Souls.
Under the Pope's robe and crown, she appeared even more dignified and noble compared to before.
Su Cheng couldn't help but sigh inwardly; it seemed that every time he saw this woman, her aura was always changing.
Every stage of a woman's various charms could be fully displayed on her.
However, the current Bibi Dong in front of him seemed to resemble her real self more and more, just lacking a few traces of malice and possessing more composure and grace.
She had no idea what Su Cheng was thinking at the moment.
Looking at Su Cheng, Bibi Dong's eyes revealed undisguised joy and affection. Then, she took out a tray from a soul tool, covered with a layer of red cloth, and the Cosmos Hurdling Cover was placed inside.
"Here you go."
Su Cheng didn't hesitate and reached out to take it, his expression becoming more serious.
As the red cloth was lifted, splendid rays of light immediately spread out in all directions.
On the tray, there was a three-dimensional triangular blue soul tool, extremely sharp at the tip.
The soul tool was crystal clear all around, seemingly carved from sapphire, only the size of a palm. It had rippling water-like patterns on the outside, appearing as if naturally formed, vivid and lifelike, while internally emitting a blue light, continuously releasing strange energy fluctuations from within.
At the first sight of this object, Su Cheng's expression became solemn.
He had underestimated the strength of the Sea God's Divine Sense.
Perhaps because of its extraordinary nature, even after so long, there was still no sense of weakening in its energy fluctuations.
Originally, Su Cheng's plan was to probe first, to see the difference between his current strength and the divine power.
However, upon seeing this scene, he completely abandoned the idea of confronting it with his innate sword energy.
In the next moment, to Bibi Dong's astonishment, Su Cheng reached out and threw the Empire's Sacred Artifact into the nearby Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes.
She never expected that after all the trouble Su Cheng went through to obtain this item, he would simply throw it into that terrifying spring.
She was well aware of how terrifying the Ice and Fire Spring next to them was.
Even with her current strength and physical fitness, if she really touched the spring water, she probably wouldn't be able to resist it for long.
Even if she didn't enter the water, just standing next to the spring, the hot and cold toxins emanating from it would still be constantly corroding her body.
Su Cheng didn't pay attention to Bibi Dong's changing expression beside him, just stared intently at the Sea God's Heart that fell into the spring.
At the same time, the Tidal Domain spread out.
However, it did not touch the spring water, but spread over the valley, stirring up the spiritual energy of ice and fire continuously rising from the spring.
From the ground, the entire sky seemed to be covered by a red and blue light shield inverted under the sea-blue waves, appearing gorgeous and beautiful under the sunlight.
Before this, Su Cheng had already attempted it.
The extreme cold and extreme heat in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes spring were extremely intense. After the two merged, the energy they evolved was even more terrifying. It was not just ordinary, it was corrosive and destructive. Unless the item matched its attributes, it would not be able to last long.
Even with the innate power he condensed, it was difficult to sustain, and it would be completely melted away after a moment.
This extremely strong ice and fire energy was also the source of his confidence in destroying the Sea God's Heart.
As a storage of the Sea God's Divine Sense, the Sea God's Heart's nature was naturally extraordinary, and the level of divine power far exceeded the ordinary soul power of the Douluo Continent.
However, compared to that, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes were even more exaggerated. As the burial ground of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings, the power contained here was far beyond that of the Sea God's Divine Sense.
Even this piece of the Sea God's Heart would definitely not be able to resist it.
Of course, relying solely on the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes was not enough.
The Sea God's Divine Sense was not a lifeless object. Even if it was difficult to resist, it could still carry its essence and flee far away. At this point, he needed to take action to block it.
As the Sea God's Heart sank into the spring water, in just a few breaths, it began to make a sizzling sound, and the terrifying extreme environment was rapidly eroding and destroying it.
In the next moment, the previously calm spring water suddenly boiled violently.
The cold and hot energy in the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, capable of easily corroding even energy, naturally could not be penetrated by spiritual power.
But even without relying on spiritual power to probe, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong could clearly see the deep blue light emanating from under the water's surface.
Then, far surpassing the size of the Sea God's Heart several times, a deep blue three-dimensional triangle emerged from the water's surface, covering the originally palm-sized gem.
The light that was previously blocked by the water ripples instantly became dazzling and countless times brighter.
In the strong blue light, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the tip of the Sea God's Heart, immediately enlarging in the air. In the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a golden silhouette about three meters tall.
The silhouette was blurry, and only a vague human figure could be discerned, making it impossible to see its true appearance.
"What is that?!" Bibi Dong exclaimed, looking at the golden figure hovering above the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes spring, her voice trembling slightly.
The energy fluctuations of that illusory figure were not particularly strong, yet they were extremely condensed. Just one glance at it gave rise to a sense of fatal threat.
It felt as if that figure only needed to make a slight move to decapitate her.
This feeling, not to mention now, had never occurred to her even when she was weak. It was a gap in the level of life.
It was like insects seeing birds; even if the other party was old and dying, with little strength left, it would still make insects tremble from the depths of their souls.
"That is a god."
Su Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he stared fixedly at the golden figure in mid-air.
However, from his slightly tense posture, Bibi Dong knew that Su Cheng was equally nervous and vigilant at this moment. "A god?!"
"But it's just a divine thought of a god." Su Cheng's whole body converged and condensed his aura, his voice low and grave. "Later, you just need to release the Soul Devouring Domain to interfere with it from a distance. Do not set foot on the battlefield under any circumstances."
Without time for a detailed explanation, after instructing her, he turned into a streak of sword light and flew into the air.
After the Sea God's Divine Sense appeared, it did not immediately pay attention to the two people on the shore, but first looked down at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes spring beneath its feet, then glanced at the spiritual domain covering the sky.
Then it turned its head to look at Su Cheng, who was holding a long sword.
With a plain and old voice echoing in the valley, "Do you know what you're doing?"
Su Cheng did not answer, just silently observed the situation.
If the other party didn't make a move, he naturally wouldn't be in a hurry either.
This divine thought was like water without a source, every bit of its use would consume a bit, and the longer it dragged on, the more advantageous it would be for him.
Destroying the Sea God's Heart was the ultimate goal, but there were many ways to do it.
Using the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes to melt it was one way, and exhausting its power when the opportunity arose was also possible.
As expected, the divine thought left by the Sea God should be able to communicate with its original body in the divine realm.
Everything that was happening here and now would sooner or later be exposed to the Sea God's eyes.
But it wasn't a big problem.
Not to mention the vast difference in the flow of time between the two realms, its original body couldn't receive the information transmitted by the divine thought at any time. Even if the gods in the divine realm wanted to descend, it wasn't that simple.
The difficulty lies not only in the so-called constraints of the Divine Realm Committee but also in the barrier at the level of rules. Otherwise, those gods wouldn't be so obedient to the rules.
As far as Su Cheng knew, the existence of the Divine Realm would integrate those who could break through from various planes into it. However, even if these people broke through the original planes, they would still be subject to the suppression of the cosmic rules.
The so-called gods were humans who had broken through the restrictions of the plane. After breaking through, they would still be suppressed by the cosmic rules. Only in the Divine Realm could the two be separated.
So, for gods, the Divine Realm was both a restraint and a protection.
Once the gods left the Divine Realm, they could only rely on their own divine position to protect themselves. If they exceeded the time limit, they would be subjected to the powerful suppression of the cosmic laws, and they might be completely annihilated in the universe.
Even gods couldn't resist the rules of the entire universe.
If the Sea God really disregarded the rules of the Divine Realm and his own danger to forcibly descend to the mortal realm, then he could only accept it.
However, Su Cheng felt that this possibility was very small. If a first-level god took action personally, he would have no room for maneuvering at all, and there would be no chance of completing this mission.
Even if he tried other methods this time, handed over the task of destroying the Sea God's Heart to others, and waited to destroy the Sea God Mountain in the future, he would still face this risk. He might miss the opportunity to confront the divine thought and suffer a loss.
In his estimation, the worst-case scenario would be Bo Saixi sacrificing herself as a bridge to communicate with the Sea God, allowing the other party to intervene through the inheritance ground.
On the other hand, Bibi Dong stood at a distance, looking nervously at the two figures confronting each other in mid-air, her heart fluctuating.
