The soul waves grew even crazier. The river's current split into thousands of wild, swirling vortices, colliding, then breaking in loud booms. Every drop of water vibrated violently, reflecting eye-piercing rainbow light until the surrounding space appeared to be folded and fragmented. From the bottom of the river, power rose so densely, like thousands of soul sword blades slashed simultaneously, slashing from all directions without giving room to breathe. Xiao Tian raised both his hands slowly, forming a seal that was tight and intertwined like an invisible net. From his body, soft light spread, pulsing following his heartbeat. The soul defense expanded, layered, each pulse like a shield that resisted the wild currents. Impacts continued to come rolling in, one more ferocious than the other, but he remained standing firmly, like a mountain peak that was hit by a storm without collapsing. The collision lasted a long time, as if the river's current had turned into a battlefield. Ever

The First Celestial immediately spread his divine awareness. In an instant, the scope of that awareness stretched wide, enveloping every corner of that world. No gap was missed. But the longer he examined, the more confused he became. The soul energy that should have been abundant, which was the hallmark of that world, had completely disappeared without a trace. Xiao Tian cupped his hands again. His voice was calm, but clear. "Senior, there's no need to bother observing. The source of this world's soul is already with me. And I haven't used it yet, because I need to do a lot of processes first to prepare to break through into the Eternal God Soul realm." He added with the same sincerity. "Senior, even though this junior hasn't used it, I have still taken the source of soul in this world. This gift is too great. This junior promises, if in the future senior needs this junior's help, this junior will definitely do his best." The First Celestial finally sighed in relief. From the begi

Inside the teleportation channel, the bursts of space seemed to never stop attacking. The path was not just an empty corridor, but an ocean of layered energy, as if composed of invisible ripples. Xiao Tian stood calmly in the middle, his body protected by the vest given by the First Celestial, but his mind was fully open. His eyes stared at the emptiness around him. "So this is the structure of space," he muttered to himself. He began to notice that the space inside the teleportation channel was not static, but vibrating. Every time a burst of energy hit, the surface of the space curved, like a thin cloth that was pulled and then released again. He reminded himself of one thing: space has elastic properties, capable of stretching and shrinking. For the Gods who focused on the power of space, this was the concept of space-time curvature. For Xiao Tian, the curvature was clearly visible before him, like a giant wave that never stopped coming from all directions. Each ripple that hit

In the Siyuhan God Palace square, billions of cultivators gathered. The ocean of people was like an endless wave, filling every corner. The Elders stood in the air, forming neat ranks with their vibrating auras, while the younger generations stood in the square in an orderly manner, their faces filled with enthusiasm and boiling blood. On the highest platform, ten Elders with the most distinct auras from the other Elders gathered. They were the protective Elders of the Siyuhan God Palace. Every breath they took seemed capable of collapsing mountains and oceans. In the middle of the protective Elders, one empty seat remained. Everyone stared at the seat with respect. Although no one had sat in the seat yet, just looking at the seat alone made everyone very solemn, as if the Emperor's shadow was already there. BUZZ!!! Suddenly, above the seat fluctuated, divine energy light exploded, then the Siyuhan God Emperor appeared. When the people saw the Siyuhan God Emperor, they immediately

Before he could guess further, suddenly a thunderous voice broke from the sky. The voice was so powerful, piercing through space and time, as if shaking the foundations of the universe. The vibrations spread far, sweeping every corner of the galaxy's center until its echoes reached the Starry Sky Realm. "Everyone, listen to me. I am the third protective Elder in the Xiao Clan. Currently, our detection formation has captured the movement of a large number of troops. Their goal is clear. They are mobilizing this much force for only one thing. They want to attack our Divine Lightning Fire Galaxy!" The voice tore through the silence, and in an instant, the entire galaxy boiled. A low roar of voices exploded from all directions. "Who dares to attack our Divine Lightning Fire Galaxy? Are they really tired of living?" "When the Siyuhan God Emperor and the Titan God Emperor were beaten with only the clone body of the Supreme God Emperor Xiao Jian, that should have been enough of a warning
