Asura Inheritance, Zhu Zhuqing Arrives in Suotuo City

I hope there's a response...

Feeling the inheritance mark within his body, still as stagnant water, Luo Li let out a soft sigh.

Ever since obtaining this Asura inheritance mark from the City of Slaughter, the thing had been like it was dead, completely unresponsive.

Luo Li once again used his Soul Power, attempting to stimulate the inheritance mark.

He had no other method and could only keep trying like this.

There was no response at all.

He had assumed it would end like all his previous attempts. Just as Luo Li was about to stop channeling his Soul Power, the Asura inheritance mark, which had remained dormant all this time, suddenly stirred.

A dark crimson light flickered within the mark.

On Luo Li's forehead, the pattern of a tiny sword appeared and faded intermittently.

This was...

Luo Li froze, then a hint of delight rose in his heart.

The Asura inheritance mark had finally reacted?!

Luo Li had already planned that if this attempt failed as well, he would return to the City of Slaughter after breaking through to Titled Douluo and snatch the Asura Demon Sword to try again.

He had suspected that was definitely the reason.

After all, the King of Slaughter—Tang Chen—still possessed the Asura God's inheritance.

The lack of response from his Asura inheritance mark was very likely because of that.

Yet the sudden change in the Asura inheritance mark made Luo Li dismiss his previous guess.

A majestic voice came from within the inheritance mark.

In consideration of the inheritor's actual circumstances, the Asura Four Trials are deemed complete by default.

Reward: Asura Affinity increased by fifty, Spirit Ring Age increased by thirty thousand years, four God-bestowed spirit rings.

The fifth trial of the Asura Nine Trials begins: Break through to Titled Douluo within three years.

Reward: Asura Affinity increased by fifteen, one God-bestowed spirit ring, Spirit Ring Age increased by ten thousand years.

The voice fell silent.

Dark crimson light enveloped Luo Li's entire body.

The Moon Devourer Sword and Sun Eclipse Sword, two great swords carrying utterly different auras, floated at Luo Li's side.

Eight spirit rings—yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—circled around him.

As the dark crimson light draped over Luo Li like a thin veil, the colors of those eight spirit rings began to change as well.

Bolstered by thirty thousand years of Spirit Ring Age, Luo Li's seventh and eighth spirit rings, which had already neared one hundred thousand years, completely transformed from deep black into blood-red!

All of his previous spirit rings had uniformly turned black!

Black, black, black, black, black, black, red, red!

Eight absurd spirit rings, utterly surpassing the so-called optimal spirit ring configuration, revolved around Luo Li.

The sixth spirit ring also faintly carried a tinge of red, only one step away from a complete transformation.

The overall boost brought by the Spirit Ring Age made Luo Li's aura even more imposing.

Besides that, while the Sun Eclipse Sword showed no changes, the blood-red patterns on the Moon Devourer Sword had become even more vivid.

Luo Li could feel the Moon Devourer's improvement.

The Asura God's inheritance seemed to be based on it, rather than the Sun Eclipse Sword.

Although he had received no direct reward in Soul Power, Luo Li was not disappointed.

For someone like him, whose Moon Eclipse Devouring Life Sword could devour life force, increasing Soul Power had never been difficult.

Luo Li was already quite satisfied with what the change in the Asura inheritance mark had brought him.

After all, Bibi Dong had likewise received a Deity Inheritance, yet from beginning to end, she had received nothing apart from a Rakshasa Scythe.

Compared to that, the Asura God could truly be called generous.

Though he did not know why the Asura inheritance mark had only reacted today, it was ultimately a good thing.

At the very least, Luo Li now had greater confidence in his plans for the future.

With a Deity Inheritance in hand, he had at least one more option.

Although Luo Li also had some vague ideas about another method of transcendence.

It could not be helped. Since the Asura inheritance mark had remained unresponsive before, Luo Li could only leave himself another option.

Though it had reacted now, he had no intention of abandoning the concept that had already begun to take shape in his mind.

Moreover, the two did not conflict at all.

A stone from another mountain could be used to polish jade. Perhaps it could even provide some inspiration for his own idea.

The corners of Luo Li's lips lifted slightly, and he felt quite pleased.

God Realm

The Asura God, clad in Slaughter Armor, withdrew his hand. The dark crimson light flickering in his palm vanished without a trace.

Luo Li had obtained his inheritance mark when he entered the City of Slaughter as a Soul King, so why had he only formally bestowed the inheritance now?

Naturally, it was not because the Asura God had forgotten.

Rather, he had observed Luo Li for a period of time.

The pure intent of slaughter within Luo Li's Moon Eclipse Devouring Life Sword fully met the Asura God's requirements, but its ability to absorb life force had also made the Asura God hesitate.

No matter how one looked at it, the ability to absorb life force carried an eerie quality.

The Asura God was a god of slaughter, but one of pure slaughter, unlike the Rakshasa God.

That was why he had hesitated and decided to observe for longer.

After observing him for the past few years, the Asura God had finally made his decision and bestowed the inheritance.

Over the past few years, Luo Li had caused quite a bit of slaughter due to the Moon Eclipse Devouring Life Sword's characteristics, but most of it had occurred during military campaigns.

He had not indiscriminately slaughtered innocents.

For the Asura God, who governed slaughter, killing was an ordinary matter.

As long as one retained a clear mind and was not affected by slaughter, one was qualified.

And Luo Li undoubtedly met that requirement.

Thus, when the Asura God sensed Luo Li activating the Asura inheritance mark again today, he bestowed the inheritance.

As for the King of Slaughter, who currently held the Asura Demon Sword in the City of Slaughter...

The Asura God abandoned him without the slightest hesitation.

Though Rakshasa had interfered, failure was still failure.

Someone whose body had been taken over by a beast no longer had the qualifications to receive the Asura inheritance.

As for the Asura Demon Sword...

The inheritor would reclaim it himself when the time came.

That was also one of the trials.

Meanwhile

Zhu Zhuqing had finally arrived in Suotuo City.

According to information from the Star Luo Royal Family, her so-called fiancé who had run away was studying at some Shrek Academy here.

After witnessing the stunning white-clad figure, Zhu Zhuqing no longer held much hope for her runaway fiancé.

Still, she decided to take one look at him before making her next choice.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing, dressed in black, entered Suotuo City, her figure and face, which stood in striking contrast to one another, drew the attention of quite a few "gentlemen."

She frowned slightly, feeling only disgust.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhuqing stopped and looked toward a certain place.

A loud crash came from the lobby of a hotel with an indecent style of decoration.

A tall, blond-haired man was fighting an ordinary-looking boy.

Zhu Zhuqing narrowed her beautiful eyes.

A White Tiger Martial Soul, mismatched eyes...

Without a doubt, this blond-haired man was her fiancé who had run away to this place.

This guy seemed to be fighting someone with a Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul?

Zhu Zhuqing silently concealed herself in the shadows.

She decided to first see what exactly was going on.
