Spirit Soul, Sea God's Trial

Mu Yu landed on a nearby rock and said calmly, "My sixth soul skill, Illusory Foam. Oh, right—don't pop them. They're poisonous."

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King froze. "Poisonous!? Why didn't you say so earlier?!"

Mu Yu nonchalantly popped one. "You didn't ask."

Xi Ruo, who had been watching from the side, smiled. "Go sit over there for a while. I'll beat it half to death, then you can finish him off."

Deep Sea Demonic Whale King: Is it really okay for you to loudly plot against me right in front of me?

Mu Yu nodded. "Do your best."

Having received his orders, Xi Ruo charged at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King again.

This time, Xi Ruo clearly held the upper hand. The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was forced back step by step, and irritation rose within him as he began to unleash his ultimate move.

Purple spheres of light spread in every direction, each one fused with the attributes of lightning and water.

"Xiao Yu'er, protect yourself," Xi Ruo reminded Mu Yu before turning back to continue attacking the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.

Mu Yu gave a soft acknowledgment and retreated far away.

At that moment, the God of Space's voice rang out. "Why aren't you joining in?"

"Because I can't beat him."

Mu Yu's answer was simple and clear.

That cheat king had been level ninety-six when he fought the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, and he had even had the Sea God's guidance. She was only a child in her sixties—shouldn't she hide in the back instead of going up there to throw her life away?

The Sea God also spoke in Mu Yu's defense. "Exactly. And you too—she's still so young, yet you gave her such a difficult God Trial."

The Asura God chimed in as well. "That's right, that's right."

God of Space: ? You two traitors!

Mu Yu also noticed the other two gods. So these three had already discussed it among themselves.

"You three are all bad people."

Mu Yu muttered softly.

Then, as if she had suddenly thought of something, Mu Yu looked at the three gods with a sly expression.

"Do all three of you want me to become your successor?"

The Asura God and Sea God nodded, while a bad feeling suddenly welled up in the God of Space's heart.

"Have you ever heard of someone inheriting multiple Divine Positions?"

The three of them—no, the three gods—shook their heads.

Mu Yu thought for a moment. "If I told you that someone inherited two Divine Positions, would you believe me?"

The three gods shook their heads again.

"There are rules in the God Realm. One person cannot inherit multiple Divine Positions."

"There was someone who originally inherited one Divine Position, but then his body died. Another god took a liking to him, so he was revived under that god's identity. Later, he inherited two Divine Positions. His lover became the scabbard of one of his Divine Positions and shared both Divine Positions with him."

After Mu Yu finished speaking, the gods were all stunned. The Asura God was somewhat puzzled. "I've never heard of a story like that..."

"It's a story from another plane..."

"You even know things from another plane?!"

The Sea God found it hard to believe.

Mu Yu merely shook her head without saying anything.

The God of Space grew even more curious about his successor.

But what Mu Yu had said about inheriting multiple Divine Positions truly tempted the Sea God and the Asura God. They wanted to retire as soon as possible too!

Mu Yu did not continue, but anyone could understand what she meant.

The Asura God was the least patient. After all, he had no intention of letting a genius successor like this slip away.

"Little girl, how about this? While you complete the God of Space's trial, I'll add the content of the Asura God's trial to it as well. What do you think?"

Seeing the Asura God trying to steal her away, the Sea God immediately became unhappy.

"Hey, hey, hey? It's not even my turn yet, and you're already jumping in? Let me tell you, if we're talking about merging trials, two of her God of Space trials are related to me!"

Seeing that the two were about to start fighting, Mu Yu immediately stopped them.

"How about this? Let the Sea God merge his God Trial first. After all, he really has helped me quite a lot up to now."

By "quite a lot," Mu Yu meant that she had been cared for by everyone on Sea God Island since childhood.

The Sea God shot the Asura God a smug look.

The Asura God ignored him. "What about me?"

Mu Yu glanced at him. "We'll talk about you later."

After discussing everything with the gods, Mu Yu returned to the Demonic Whale Sea. (She had forgotten, but it seemed to be called something like that.)

Xi Ruo and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King were still fighting. She had disappeared for a while, yet neither of them seemed to notice.

Because she had agreed to inherit the Sea God's divine position, the Sea God had given her a gift—the Sea God's Light.

Although this thing seemed rather useless and had little offensive power, its suppression of sea soul beasts was absolute.

At that moment, Mu Yu seemed to sense something and furrowed her brows.

This Deep Sea Demonic Whale King couple was really something—they were actually playing favorites!

When Tang San hunted the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, the Demon Empress had not made a single sound. Why had she arrived so quickly when it was Mu Yu killing the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?

Xi Ruo had clearly sensed the Demon Empress approaching as well, but in his current state, he had no spare hand to deal with her. He could only hope that Mu Yu could hold the Demon Empress off for the time being.

Mu Yu was thinking the same thing. If nothing unexpected had happened, the current Demon Empress was merely a soul beast between one hundred thousand and two hundred thousand years old.

With the Sea God's Light assisting her, perhaps she could kill her outright.

Mu Yu swiftly flew toward the Demon Empress, blocking her path.

Sensing that her husband was at a disadvantage and in far worse condition than before, the Demon Empress was desperately anxious to rush over. Seeing Mu Yu block her way, she became furious.

"Human, get lost!"

"What if I say no?"

As she spoke, a golden light suddenly appeared. Not only was the Demon Empress suppressed, but even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King was affected somewhat.

The Demon Empress stared at Mu Yu in shock. "Who are you?!"

Mu Yu smiled. "The one who will kill you."

With that, she launched a rapid attack on the Demon Empress.

Alarm bells rang in the Demon Empress's mind, and she immediately raised her defenses.

"Divine Slaughter's Domain!"

After Mu Yu unleashed her domain, the surrounding air pressure dropped, and there were even signs of the sea surface freezing.

"Sixth Soul Skill, Copy."

Mu Yu's Puppet's sixth soul skill could copy someone she knew, allowing it to use ninety percent of that person's power for ten minutes.

As for whom to copy? When it came to the Titled Douluo with the strongest offensive power, none could compare to Chen Xin.

"Puppet, use Myriad Swords Return to Origin."

As soon as she spoke, the Puppet emitted a blue glow, and one illusory sword shadow after another flew toward the Demon Empress.

Because the Sea God's Light and Divine Slaughter's Domain suppressed the Demon Empress, she could barely block all the flying swords.

"Puppet, Ninth Soul Skill, God-Demon Dual Slash."

This ninth soul skill was Chen Xin's strongest offensive soul skill, possessing immense penetrating power.

The current Demon Empress was at most comparable to a level ninety-five Titled Douluo. Though it could only wield ninety percent of his strength, it was still more than the Demon Empress could bear.

The Demon Empress was horrified. She had no way to stop the blade from passing through her body and could only minimize the severity of her injuries as much as possible.

The heavily injured Demon Empress was placed at a complete disadvantage, while the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King beside her was also severely wounded.

Even the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King had not expected that human to seriously injure his wife. How could he still have the mood to fight Xi Ruo? His wife was pregnant. He could die, but his wife and child had to survive!

He knocked Xi Ruo back and immediately charged toward his wife.

"Xiao Yu, be careful!"

Xi Ruo anxiously chased after him.

Mu Yu did not care about the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King charging at her at all. She directly had the Puppet seize the Demon Empress.

Then she turned to look at the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, who was preparing to attack her.

"If you dare come any closer, I'll kill her. Surely you don't want your impulsiveness to cost two lives, do you?"

Sure enough, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King did not dare move forward again.

"What exactly do you want?!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King glared furiously at Mu Yu.

"What do I want?"

Mu Yu calmly landed on the Puppet's shoulder.

"To be honest, I'm the inheritor of a god. The content of my God Trial is to kill you. And as it happens, I need two soul rings, and your wife just happened to come over, so..."

After hearing Mu Yu's words, both the Demon Empress and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King were stunned. No wonder this human was so powerful—she was actually the inheritor of a god.

"Was it Poseidon?! Did he send you to kill me?!"

Mu Yu thought for a moment, then nodded. "Mm, more or less."

Sea God: ???

God of Space: As expected of my inheritor.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King spoke furiously, turning to point at Xi Ruo. "What about you? Why are you helping her? You clearly can't stand Poseidon either!"

Xi Ruo pointed at the Soul Tool around Mu Yu's neck. "I have to listen to my master~ Don't you agree?"

Only then did the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King notice the Soul Tool around Mu Yu's neck.

He stared at Xi Ruo in disbelief. The famed overlord of the seas, the king of merfolk, was actually willing to serve a human. The shock was enough to last him several lifetimes!

But before he could remain shocked for long, Mu Yu spoke again.

"Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, I'll give you two choices. First, I kill you and your wife. Second, the two of you sacrifice yourselves to me. Which one do you choose?"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King froze. "I'll do anything you want. Just don't touch my wife... She still..."

Mu Yu cut him off directly. "That isn't for you to decide."

Both the Demon Empress and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King fell silent.

At that moment, Xi Ruo gave the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King a way out.

"Xiao Yu, why not let him become your Spirit Soul?"

"Spirit Soul?" Neither the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King nor the Demon Empress had heard of Spirit Souls, so Xi Ruo explained it to them.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King looked at his injured wife and gave a helpless smile.

"Do I have any other choice?"

Mu Yu shook her head. "No."

After Mu Yu's threats and inducements, along with Xi Ruo's patient persuasion, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Demon Empress finally agreed.

Following the method she had used to fuse with Xiao Mo last time, Mu Yu spent quite some effort before successfully fusing with the two of them.

After entering Mu Yu's Sea of Consciousness, the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King and the Demon Empress saw a familiar figure—Xiao Mo.

"It's you?!"

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King stared at Xiao Mo in disbelief. As sea soul beasts, they had met at least a few times before.

"Well, if it isn't the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King?"

Xiao Mo shielded the food in his hands. "I'm telling you, this is my food. Don't even think about stealing it!"

Looking at the wide assortment of delicious food in Xiao Mo's hands, the Demon Empress and the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King exchanged a glance. This treatment seemed pretty good...

And Mu Yu obtained the two spirit rings she had wanted.

She attached the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's million-year spirit ring to the puppet as its seventh spirit ring, while the Demon Empress's Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Ring was attached to the Nightmare Beast as its sixth spirit ring.

The Deep Sea Demonic Whale King's torso bone was also equipped on her body. Now, she only lacked a right arm bone to complete her full set of spirit bones. She had long set her sights on the Sky Azure Bull Python. Once she returned, she would definitely find an opportunity to take its spirit bone.

"Congratulations. You completed the fourth trial so easily."

The God of Space floated around in front of Mu Yu with an annoying expression.

At that moment, he felt a chill run down his back. When he turned around, Xi Ruo was glaring at him resentfully, as if saying, She had it easy, but I didn't!

The God of Space gave a light cough.

"As for the reward for the fourth trial..."

Mu Yu interrupted the God of Space directly. "I don't need a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring anymore. Give me something else."

The God of Space fell silent. What else did he have besides God-Bestowed Spirit Rings...?

"Oh! Right! How about I give you a domain?"

Domains were also extremely rare things for soul masters.

Upon hearing about a domain, Mu Yu felt that it did not seem inferior to a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring.

"Alright, I agree."

"The domain I'm giving you is called the Nightmare Domain. You can freely control the appearance of everything and everyone within its range according to your imagination."

Mu Yu thought for a moment. "For example?"

"For example, if you turn the inside of the domain into the Slaughter City, then anyone who enters its range will be just like someone entering Slaughter City. Within it, you are the rules. You can freely control everything inside."

Mu Yu seemed to understand. "If I turn the domain into an ocean, can I control the creatures in the ocean?"

"Yes, that's roughly what it means."

Mu Yu grew a little excited. This was great—she liked this domain.

"Now that we've settled the reward, what about the fifth trial?"

Mu Yu's smile vanished instantly, as though she had performed a face-changing act.

God of Space: ...

"What is the content of the fifth trial?"

Before the God of Space could come up with the contents of the fifth trial, the Sea God leaned over. "How about pulling out the Sea God's Trident?"

Mu Yu: ??? Do you really think this is your trial???

The God of Space was equally speechless, but there did not seem to be a better trial than that.

"Fine, then."

The God of Space agreed helplessly.
