Evil God Divine Examination
After Dugu Yan finished speaking, she took the Evil God Pearl, sat cross-legged, and put it into her mouth without hesitation.
The moment the bead entered her mouth, black light surged from Dugu Yan's body, enveloping her in an eerie purple halo.
Her body trembled violently, and her brows were furrowed, as if she were enduring some great pain.
This process lasted for a full five days.
For five days, Dugu Yan sat cross-legged in the valley, motionless, enveloped by a black light.
Da Ming and Er Ming drove away the powerful Soul Beasts that tried to approach from the outside.
Tang San and the three girls took turns guarding her and protecting her.
On the evening of the fifth day, the black light finally began to recede.
The light slowly faded from Dugu Yan's body, like the receding tide, gradually shrinking back into her body.
Dugu Yan sat cross-legged in the center of the valley, her eyes slightly closed, her breathing long and steady.
As the last ray of light disappeared, her aura changed.
If the previous Dugu Yan was a dangerous venomous snake, making people afraid to approach her, then the current Dugu Yan is a Ferocious Beast that has come from ancient times.
The domineering and evil aura emanating from their very bones sends chills down your spine at first glance.
A moment later, Dugu Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she slowly opened them.
"Yan Yan?" Tang San's voice carried a hint of nervousness.
A smile curved Dugu Yan's lips, and a glint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
"Third Brother, I did it!"
She suddenly stood up from the ground and wrapped her arms around Tang San's neck. Tang San immediately felt a softness against his chest.
"I completely devoured the Evil God Pearl. My Martial Soul evolved from the Jade Phosphorous Flood Dragon Jade Phosphorous Evil Dragon, not only retaining its original poison attribute but also gaining multiple attributes of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger: evil, power, time, space, lightning, and wind."
"My Soul Power hasn't changed; it's still level 72. But my base attributes have improved significantly across the board. Strength, speed, defense, and Spiritual Power are all at least 50% stronger than before."
She released Tang San, and then, with a thought, the Eight Spider Lances unfolded from behind her.
The eight Spider Spears changed color from their original blood red to black and gold, and their surfaces were covered with strange patterns.
The spearhead was even sharper, and with a gentle swing, it left a sharp whistling sound in the air.
"The Eight Spider Lances also evolved. Now they can devour all energy, not just Soul Power and life force, but also Spiritual Power and other elemental energies. Their lifespan has increased to approximately 80,000 years."
Tang San smiled and asked expectantly, "Is there anything else?"
Dugu Yan nodded and reached out to brush the stray hairs from her forehead.
There is a mark between her eyebrows.
The mark is shaped like a barb and is entirely purplish-black.
"I have passed the Evil God Divine Examination."
Dugu Yan's voice carried an barely suppressed excitement.
"The Evil God Pearl seals a wisp of the Evil God's divine will. I devoured the Evil God Pearl, triggering its Divine Examination. The Evil God Nine Trials, each conducted in Life and Death Arena; the winner devours the winner's energy. I must pass these nine trials, defeat nine different enemies, and obtain their energy to become the new Evil God."
Tang San stepped forward and reached out to pull Dugu Yan into his arms.
His arms encircled her slender waist, holding her tightly in his arms.
"Don't be afraid. We're together."
Dugu Yan leaned against him and nodded vigorously.
Xiao Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Ye Lingling also came over and hugged Dugu Yan tightly.
"Sister Yan, you can definitely do it."
After a long while, the five people finally let go.
Tang San released Dugu Yan, turned around, and looked at Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Da Ming, Er Ming, thank you for your help. We must take our leave now."
Da Ming nodded. "Tang San, Xiao Wu, take care on your journey."
Tang San smiled and said, "You should also be careful. The Spirit Hall has been very active lately, so you'd better not leave the Lake of Life unnecessarily."
"Okay, and remember our agreement."
After Da Ming finished speaking, he turned and headed towards the Lake of Life, with Er Ming following closely behind.
Tang San turned around and, leading the four girls, headed towards the outer edge of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After walking a few steps, Xiao Wu suddenly turned around and waved to Da Ming and Er Ming.
"Da Ming! Er Ming! Wait for me to come back!"
Ten days later, the five arrived at a small town on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Along the way, Dugu Yan also absorbed the left arm bone of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
The 70,000-year-old left arm bone possessed immense energy, perfectly complementing her Evil Dragon Martial Soul, and the absorption process went very smoothly.
Her Soul Power increased from level 72 to level 74.
Dark Demon Evil God Tiger 'Left Arm Soul Bone Skill: Dark Demon Evil God Break.
This is a powerful offensive skill.
Once activated, he swung his left hand out, unleashing a terrifying black current of energy from his palm that surged toward the designated direction.
The black aura combined multiple attributes such as evil, lightning, wind, and poison, and its attack power was comparable to the full-force attack of Soul Douluo, causing terrifying area damage to enemies in its path.
As they entered the outskirts of the town, they arrived at the inn where the carriage and its driver had been settled.
The five of them settled into the inn, took a nice hot bath, and ate a warm meal.
They didn't stay long, and the next day they set off for Vast Sea City.
Spirit City, Worship Hall.
Qian Renxue knelt quietly before the enormous Angel Statue in the center of the Worship Hall.
She has been praying devoutly here for nine days.
Golden light surged, and a figure appeared between her and the enormous statue, gradually becoming clearer.
It was Qian Daoliu, the Great Enshrined of the Spirit Hall.
Has your mind calmed down?
Qian Renxue remained silent, kneeling there quietly.
Open your eyes.
Qian Daoliu raised his hand and pointed, and golden flames released from the long sword in the hand of the statue behind him descended from the sky, completely enveloping Qian Renxue's body.
Golden flames swirled, and Qian Renxue's body was slowly drawn to her feet under the glow.
The golden light remained unchanged, but nine golden light curtains gradually appeared in front of Qian Renxue.
Seeing these nine light screens, Qian Daoliu's eyes shone with delight. "The Angel Nine Trials, the Nine Trials... the Nine Trials that countless generations of Angel God have waited for have finally appeared."
Qian Renxue opened her eyes, showing no surprise whatsoever.
With Tang San's constant encouragement, she became very confident in obtaining the Angel God's inheritance.
Qian Daoliu was slightly surprised by Qian Renxue's calmness, but he didn't delve into it. After all, there was nothing more gratifying than his granddaughter receiving the inheritance of the Angel God.
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Daoliu with a determined gaze. "Grandpa, should I start the First Trial now, or go hunt for the Eighth Soul Ring first?"
"Don't rush for Soul Rings. There will be many opportunities during the Divine Examination trial, including Soul Rings."
Qian Daoliu smiled calmly and said, "From now on, for a long time to come, you will have to complete nine trials from the Angel God here. Grandpa will always be with you."
"Yes, Grandpa, I will definitely not let you down." Qian Renxue confidently raised her pretty face.
Qian Daoliu's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
At the same time, in the Pope's Palace, within the Rakshasa Secret Realm.
A stunningly beautiful woman emerged from the pool of venom, completely naked.
It was Pope Bibi Dong.
The moment she turned around, her exquisite body was already enveloped in a lace nightgown.
At this moment, although Bibi Dong's Soul Power had broken through to Level 99 with the help of the Divine Examination, the Rakshasa Inheritance did not have Great Enshrined to sacrifice, so her strength was suppressed to Level 98.
The Eighth Trial requires her to rely on her own abilities to cultivate her strength to Level 99.
It's like sacrificing yourself.
Although there is only a one-level difference between Level 98 and Level 99, the amount of Soul Power required is enormous.
Even with Bibi Dong's talent, it would probably take her five to ten years to break through her own cultivation.
