Deep within the mysterious and vast Star Dou Great Forest, the Lake of Life, resembling a fairyland, shimmered.
On this day, the once tranquil sky above the Lake of Life suddenly changed.
Thick, dark clouds rolled in like surging waves, instantly obscuring the sky and plunging the entire forest into darkness.
In this gloom, a little boy stood quietly on the shore of the Lake of Life.
His figure appeared so small under the pressure of heaven and earth, yet he exuded an indescribable determination.
The little boy was none other than Qian Renshang!
As the awakened power began to surge, Qian Renshang's body suddenly erupted with boundless golden light.
This light instantly pierced through the heavy clouds, like a sharp sword piercing the sky.
His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, and in that instant, it seemed as if the entire world was shaken.
His eyes transformed into pupils, like two dazzling golden beams, piercing the darkness and illuminating the surroundings.
This pupil emitted a faint golden light, like the brightest star in the night sky, impossible to ignore.
Immediately afterward, a deafening dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and earth, and an enormous phantom of a golden dragon king emerged from the light.
Its body coiled and twisted, blotting out the sun, as if it wanted to bring the entire Star Dou Great Forest under its control.
Every scale on the golden dragon king's body shone with dazzling light, and its eyes burned like raging flames, radiating a chilling majesty.
Under this powerful force, the waters of the Lake of Life surged into towering waves, rushing outwards and crashing against the trees and rocks on the shore.
The birds and beasts in the forest trembled before this terrifying power, prostrating themselves in worship.
"This is…"
The beast kings present were all utterly horrified.
Di Tian's eyes widened, and his breathing became rapid.
"Golden Dragon King... This is the power of the Golden Dragon King! His martial soul is actually the Golden Dragon King!"
"Right... Right, he possesses the purest bloodline of the Golden Dragon King."
"Hiss... This kid is truly astonishing!"
Xiong Jun couldn't hide his excitement either.
Possessing the Golden Dragon King's bloodline and possessing the Golden Dragon King's martial soul are two different concepts.
The latter might actually allow him to become a god with this martial soul, which is simply too shocking.
These beast kings were all captivated by Qian Renshang's powerful talent, and they felt genuinely proud of him.
In the center of the light, Qian Renshang stood tall, his eyes filled with control over power and anticipation for the future.
Just as Xiong Jun and the others stepped forward to talk to Qian Renshang, Di Tian's expression changed drastically.
He spread his arms to block everyone.
"Wait... It seems there's more to the story.
This kid's martial soul awakening ceremony doesn't seem to be over yet."
Di Tian's expression was solemn.
Just as Qian Renshang's Golden Dragon King Martial Soul awakened but didn't fully awaken, and before the shockwaves had subsided, an unexpected change occurred.
The dark clouds that had just been dispelled by the Golden Dragon King's light gathered again with even greater ferocity, accompanied by lightning and thunder, as if the heavens and earth themselves trembled at the sight.
Qian Renshang's body was once again enveloped by a mysterious and powerful force, this time a profound aura of darkness.
The darkness spread like a tide, forming a stark contrast to the previous golden light.
Suddenly, Qian Renshang's golden eyes changed; the golden light began to gradually spread into darkness, as if the darkness was swallowing his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, his eyes were completely shrouded in darkness, but this was not ordinary darkness; it was a deep and mysterious darkness.
As time passed, a blood-red light gradually emerged from the darkness, dancing like burning flames in his eyes.
Finally, his golden eyes completely transformed into blood-red eyes, revealing endless pressure and killing intent within the crimson pupils.
At this moment, Qian Renshang exuded a chilling aura.
His eyes were cold and ruthless, as if they could see into the deepest fears of people's souls.
His blood-red pupils, surrounded by a jet-black hue, created a powerful visual impact, inspiring fear in those who beheld him.
Even Di Tian and the others felt a shiver run down their spines.
What kind of power was this?
Then, a pair of enormous wings slowly emerged from the darkness behind Qian Renshang.
The wings continued to unfold until all twelve wings were fully deployed, each radiating a chilling dark energy.
The appearance of the twelve-winged Fallen Angel Martial Soul plunged the entire space into an eerie silence.
The Fallen Angel's figure appeared and disappeared, its face majestic and cold, as if it came from an endless abyss.
Qian Renshang stood at the center of this interplay of darkness and light, his body bearing immense pressure, but his gaze remained resolute, without the slightest hesitation.
Under the influence of this dark power, the waters of the Lake of Life turned as black as ink, churning and swirling, creating enormous whirlpools.
The surrounding trees were corroded by the dark aura, their branches and leaves withering, and the earth trembled slightly.
The awakening of this second martial soul was no less spectacular than the awakening of the Golden Dragon King martial soul, perhaps even more mysterious and awe-inspiring.
"I...I've awakened another martial soul?"
After a long while, Qian Renshang's eyes finally cleared, and the astonishing scene began to subside.
Di Tian and the others immediately surrounded Qian Renshang.
"Was your first martial soul the Golden Dragon King martial soul?"
Di Tian asked excitedly, and Qian Renshang nodded in reply.
"Yes!"
"Then what was that pitch-black thing you just saw...?"
"That seems to be my second martial soul; it's called the Twelve-Winged Fallen Angel martial soul!"
Qian Renshang explained, and the expressions of Di Tian and the others were incredibly complex.
A twin martial soul?
Di Tian, with his vast experience, naturally knew that some exceptionally gifted humans could possess a second martial soul, and these individuals invariably possessed powerful talents.
Moreover, Di Tian could sense that Qian Renshang's second martial soul was also extremely powerful, even comparable to the Golden Dragon King martial soul.
This kid was truly a complete genius.
"Kid, let's test your innate soul power again."
Di Tian barely suppressed his excitement as he handed Qian Renshang a crystal ball—a standard crystal ball for testing innate soul power.
The limit was level ten soul power, which was generally considered full innate soul power.
"Okay."
Qian Renshang placed his hand on it and began channeling his soul power.
The crystal ball suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light, but the next moment, a cracking sound was heard.
Crack!
The crystal ball shattered instantly!
Di Tian's eyes widened; the crystal ball had exploded! What was going on?
Could it be that Qian Renshang's innate soul power is more than level 10?
