Chapter 356: Yang Xiong's Ambition
Yang Xiong aimed his hands at the Sword and Bone Douluos, emitting waves of strange light. This was precisely the Power of Creation.
The Power of Creation could be called the strongest power in history, and it was also a power that could turn decay into magic.
Ever since the Power of Creation entered the bodies of the Sword and Bone Douluos, their originally severe injuries began to heal at an extremely fast rate. Even their broken bones and severed meridians quickly recovered, not to mention the soul power they had consumed and the impact their martial souls suffered from Bibi Dong.
In just a few breaths, the Sword and Bone Douluos, whose faces were previously incredibly pale, gradually regained their calm. Even their soul power began to climb steadily, gradually returning them to the appearance of normal people.
Even Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Tang San in the distance felt a deep sense of dread when they saw Yang Xiong's ability to turn decay into magic.
They could naturally observe that, in terms of soul power level, Yang Xiong had not truly reached level one hundred; he had not truly become a god.
But currently, Yang Xiong seemed to be in a very special state. He was neither at level ninety-nine nor level one hundred. Instead, it was as if he had taken a huge step between level ninety-nine and level one hundred, yet hadn't completely become a god.
Using the Power of Creation, Yang Xiong caused the heavily injured Sword and Bone Douluos to gradually recover in just a few breaths. Even their unconscious state was alleviated as they slowly opened their eyes.
The Sword and Bone Douluos looked at each other. The Sword Douluo was the first to speak, "Old Bone, what is your situation? Why does it feel like your injuries are just as heavy?"
The Bone Douluo revealed a rare smile, "You old sword freak, you were truly terrifying just now. I thought you were going to die. Fortunately, Little Xiong came back in time."
The Sword Douluo shook his head and couldn't help but sigh, "I am old after all. Even if I used all my strength and my final trump card, I still lost to Bibi Dong. Perhaps this is the gap in soul power levels."
The Bone Douluo smirked, "You old sword freak, this isn't like you. That final sword strike of yours could definitely defeat a normal level ninety-nine Limit Douluo. Unfortunately, Bibi Dong can no longer be considered a Title Douluo. Fighting like this is ultimately too much of a disadvantage for you."
The Sword Douluo calmed his expression, "Old Bone, then who injured you so heavily?"
The aura on the Bone Douluo's body began to gradually recover. The wounds on his body actually started to heal rapidly, and even the black aura within the wounds was gradually turned to nothingness by the five-colored light.
"It was that Bibi Dong. The situation I saw her in just now was too terrifying. If she is truly allowed to become a god, I'm afraid none of us here will survive. That's why I used my ninth soul skill to fight with all I had, but unfortunately, the gap in strength is ultimately too wide."
The originally silent Yang Xiong finally spoke up at this time, "Rest assured, two teachers, everything is under my control. Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan or your safety, there won't be any problems."
The Bone Douluo said, "Little Xiong, you still need to be careful. After all, both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue have become gods. Furthermore, do not forget your previous apprehensions, and do not forget who our real enemy is."
Yang Xiong nodded. Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi beside them quickly came to the Sword and Bone Douluos' side. Seeing their worried expressions, it was clear how dependent they were on the two Douluos. The Sword and Bone Douluos were simply too important to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan; they were the true backbone of the sect.
If the Sword and Bone Douluos were to fall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would probably never recover and might even face complete annihilation.
Ning Rongrong said, "Little Xiongzi, how are Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone? Will they be alright with such injuries?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "Rongrong, with me here, everything is fine. Both teachers' injuries should heal very soon. Especially after fighting against Limit Douluos this time, they might gain some enlightenment for the future and be able to take another step forward."
Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and even the surrounding people rejoiced at their narrow escape from death.
Yang Xiong glanced at the mostly recovered Sword and Bone Douluos, directly left the Golden Eagle Douluo, and swiftly flew into the sky.
At this moment, whether it was Tang San, Qian Renxue, or even Bibi Dong, none of them were paying attention to the others on the battlefield; they were all staring at Yang Xiong.
Yang Xiong glanced at Bibi Dong, "This is getting somewhat interesting. Bibi Dong, to think that even without a god position, you were able to rely on this special array to break through level one hundred and become a god. Did I underestimate you a bit?"
Bibi Dong coldly snorted, "How could people like you understand my past? I was originally an inheritor of a god as well. Unfortunately, just because I wasn't ruthless enough, wasn't evil enough, I was ultimately abandoned by the Rakshasa God."
"But I was absolutely unwilling to accept defeat, which is why I used this array to become a god. This is why I was able to reach the pinnacle of the Douluo world and achieve godhood through my own unprecedented efforts."
Yang Xiong nodded, "In a sense, I truly admire you. Whether it's me, Tang San, or Qian Renxue, we received many benefits during the god position inheritance process. Yet you didn't receive any benefits, and one could even say you were looked down upon by the gods."
"Unfortunately, you shouldn't have done one thing. You shouldn't have tried to use the countless lives at Jialing Pass to satisfy your ambition, nor should you have used this evil array to help you become a god. Your godhood is built upon countless white bones."
Bibi Dong shouted angrily, "Nonsense, Yang Xiong! Which empire and which god position wasn't built upon countless white bones? As long as I can unify the entire Douluo world, then the entire world will be under my command. Only then will wars truly decrease, and true peace be ushered in."
"Compared to you people who are full of benevolence and morality, truly unifying the Douluo Continent and destroying the two great empires is the best choice for the commoners."
Yang Xiong nodded, "In a sense, I actually agree with you quite a bit. Unfortunately, your path is destined to fail because you shouldn't have hurt my friends, and you shouldn't have tried to kill my teachers."
Bibi Dong instantly let out a wild laugh, "Interesting, Yang Xiong. From beginning to end, you never appeared on the battlefield. Besides fighting Qian Renxue once last time, you haven't fought anyone. Does doing this do justice to the Heaven Dou Empire you support?"
Yang Xiong smiled, "I do not support anyone. Whether it's the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, or even the Spirit Empire you founded, they are all the same in my eyes. I have no interest in who wins or loses."
"The reason I joined the war was merely to buy a little time. I wanted to buy enough time for me to become a god, so I would have the true strength to contend with all of you."
Bibi Dong's face turned cold, "So from start to finish, you didn't support the Heaven Dou Empire, and you don't even care about the casualties of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Body Sect?"
Yang Xiong said, "War requires death. Only enough death can awaken everyone and make people realize the true cruelty of war."
"Whether it's the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan or the Body Sect, due to the expansion of their strength over the years, ambition began to breed in everyone. Even Ning Fengzhi and Lin Gong wholeheartedly wanted to seek revenge against the Spirit Empire. They all wanted to display their strength and be recognized by the world, which is why they joined this war without hesitation."
"Now that the war has progressed to this point, the hatred and anger in their hearts should have been mostly vented. At the very least, the deaths of those around them can make them understand that war requires sacrifices, and having ambition comes with a price—a price they themselves cannot bear."
In fact, regarding Yang Xiong's personal attitude, he never really wanted to participate in this great war between the three empires from the very beginning. This war was a display of ambitions from both sides.
The Spirit Empire wanted to rule the entire spirit master world and the whole world through war. In their eyes, the two great empires were stumbling blocks on their path to rulership, which is why they gathered all spirit masters and launched the most tragic war in ten thousand years.
The Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were similar. Their rulership was too heavily affected by the Spirit Empire. Over the years, not only had all their affiliated kingdoms broken away from their control, but they had also lost vast territories.
However, after years of military preparation, the two great empires, in order to maintain their rule, did not hesitate to gather millions of troops just to strangle the threat of the Spirit Empire in its cradle. At the very least, they did not hope for a new tripartite balance of power, nor did they wish for a massive threat like the Spirit Empire to exist.
Whether it was the Body Sect or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, their strength had developed too rapidly over the years. Just the Title Douluos alone numbered around ten, not to mention that the two major sects combined had a full six thousand spirit masters. They had almost reached their respective peaks, and combined, they were not weaker than the Clear Sky Clan at its zenith.
This was also why Yang Xiong had always been reluctant to join the war, but Yang Wudi, Ning Fengzhi, and the others all wanted to participate. Even the ordinary spirit masters within the sects wanted to realize their ambitions and make a name for themselves in the world.
At this moment, Yang Xiong looked at the people from the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan again. Neither Ning Fengzhi nor Yang Wudi had their former high-spirited appearances; instead, they looked like survivors who had narrowly escaped death.
After all, going through such a tragic war, both the Body Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had lost more than half of their participating personnel. Even the Sword and Bone Douluos had almost perished, and the other Title Douluos were basically all injured with rather low auras. Clearly, they had been frightened by Bibi Dong's massive move. If Yang Xiong hadn't arrived in time, everyone at Jialing Pass would probably have been completely wiped out.
Hearing Yang Xiong's words, Bibi Dong was also startled, but she quickly followed with a cold sneer.
"Yang Xiong, to think you thought of so much. You could actually watch helplessly as so many from your own sects died. What are you trying to do by walking onto the battlefield now? Do you still want to crush all the experts of our Spirit Empire?"
"You must know we have two gods now, and your mindset is not in alignment with Tang San's. I know better than you what kind of nature the Rakshasa God possesses."
Yang Xiong revealed a hint of disdain, "You don't need to worry about that. However, you are right about one thing: this world needs unification, and the two great empires need to be destroyed. But in my plan, it's not just the two great empires; even the Spirit Empire has no need to exist."
"And the most fundamental part of this is that no royal family is needed, nor are the so-called nobles of the empires. Even less do I need someone pointing fingers and dictating what I should do."
Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, "To think your ambition is so great. It seems I underestimated you after all!"
