Spirit Devouring Asura Domain

Lu Chen's immense Soul Power slowly settled, like the tide receding.

The "Two Yellow One Purple" and two black Soul Rings pulsed gently along the Asura Demon Sword's Sword Body. Their overlapping radiance flowed over the blade, making its Blood-Colored Patterns even more vivid.

The Asura Domain slowly withdrew into Lu Chen's body.

As the last trace of blood-red light sank into his brow, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

His Soul Power had also stabilized at level fifty-three.

Feeling the increasingly Sharp Sword Qi of his Asura Sword Intent within him, Lu Chen's eyes brightened with delight.

Even the Martial Soul Hall Golden Generation couldn't compare to him now, could they?

As for Qian Renxue, who also possessed a God Tier Martial Soul, he'd have to face her to find out who was stronger!

"Lu Chen, you're finally awake!"

Seeing that he'd successfully absorbed the Soul Ring, Dugu Yan immediately rushed over and hugged him tightly.

Perhaps because Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had once been the Jade Phosphorous Serpent, she always seemed to carry a refreshing coolness.

The feeling of her pressed against him was pleasant.

As soon as Lu Chen stood up, he saw Dugu Bo walking over from the Blood Fiend Gluttonous Wolf's corpse.

The disappointment on his face made it clear that no Soul Bone had appeared.

Dugu Bo came to Lu Chen's side and said, "Let's go. Staying here gives me the creeps!"

Lu Chen nodded. The countless bones piled up around them really did make the place look terrifying.

Dugu Bo didn't stop to rest with them until they'd put some distance between themselves and the cave.

"Lu Chen, what's your Fifth Soul Skill?" Dugu Yan asked curiously, leaning closer, her jade-green eyes sparkling.

"It should count as a Domain Soul Skill."

The moment Lu Chen spoke, Dugu Bo's gaze turned feverish. He stared at him as if he were a rare treasure.

Even Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, didn't have a single Domain Soul Skill, while Lu Chen already had two!

It was enough to make anyone sick with envy!

Dugu Bo's stare made Lu Chen uncomfortable, so he turned to Dugu Yan and said, "How about we spar? It'd give me a chance to get familiar with my new Soul Skill."

"Sure!" Dugu Yan agreed without hesitation.

Dugu Yan summoned her Jade Phosphorous Corrosive Dragon Martial Soul, and jade-colored Soul Power washed over her body like ripples.

As her Martial Soul manifested, a diamond-shaped, jade-green crystal appeared on her forehead.

Her eyes turned emerald green, and jade-colored streaks appeared at the ends of her hair, making her already beautiful face look even more refined and striking.

Then her body grew taller. She pointed her right hand toward the sky, and jade-green scales spread from her fingertip.

The scales were translucent and glimmering. As they extended, her entire right hand seemed to turn into a piece of jade-green crystal.

Dugu Yan's Soul Power still wasn't strong enough to let her Jade Phosphorous Corrosive Dragon Martial Soul transform her entire body as Dugu Bo could.

Two yellow, one purple, and one black Soul Ring revolved around Dugu Yan.

Blood-red light flashed in Lu Chen's hand, and the Asura Demon Sword appeared. "Two Yellow One Purple" and two black Soul Rings circled its Sword Body.

Wisps of Slaughter Aura spread from the Asura Demon Sword's Sword Body and climbed up Lu Chen's arm.

"Let's begin," Lu Chen said calmly.

The first Soul Ring around Dugu Yan lit up. "Jade Phosphorous Red Light!"

A beam of red light surged from the Soul Ring and fell upon Dugu Yan. Her emerald eyes instantly turned blood-red.

"Lu Chen, my Third Soul Skill changed into Jade Phosphorous Purple Light after my Martial Soul Evolution, so be careful!"

Lu Chen nodded.

After Dugu Yan's Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul evolved into the Jade Phosphorous Corrosive Dragon Martial Soul, she still followed the path of a Control System Soul Master, but her Attack Power might well rival that of an Assault Type Soul Master.

The third Soul Ring around Dugu Yan lit up, and a faint purple glow spread over her scales.

The light gathered in her right hand, forming a pale-purple ball of light filled with concentrated Jade Phosphorous Purple Poison.

"Go!"

Dugu Yan thrust out her palm, sending a streak of pale-purple light shooting toward Lu Chen.

"Spirit Devouring Asura Domain!"

The Fifth Soul Ring around Lu Chen lit up, and dark-red light traced the patterns on the Asura Demon Sword.

As he turned his wrist, the tip of the sword touched the ground and sank half an inch into it.

Centered on the Asura Demon Sword's Sword Body, blood-red patterns spread like living things, quickly weaving into a circular domain more than ten meters across.

At its edge, the light formed a translucent ring of blood-red lines. Blood Qi churned within the domain, as if ready to devour everything outside it.

The Jade Phosphorous Purple Light dimmed the instant it entered the Spirit Devouring Asura Domain.

Then the head of a Blood Fiend Gluttonous Wolf suddenly appeared. It opened its enormous jaws and swallowed the Jade Phosphorous Purple Light.

Lu Chen brought the index and middle fingers of his right hand together like a sword and gently pointed.

The Blood Fiend Gluttonous Wolf transformed into a blood-red small sword and floated in front of him.

"Yan Zi, try out your new Soul Skill."

"Jade Phosphorous Death Ray!"

Dugu Yan nodded. Her fourth Soul Ring lit up, and the jade-green scales on her forehead shone with dazzling green light.

A beam of green light shot out, tearing through the air toward Lu Chen.

The moment it entered the Spirit Devouring Asura Domain, its power dropped sharply.

Lu Chen willed it, and the blood-red small sword beside him immediately streaked toward the Jade Phosphorous Death Ray.

The instant the two collided, the Jade Phosphorous Death Ray was pierced and annihilated as easily as paper.

A sharp sword qi swept past Dugu Yan's ear.

The blood-red small sword struck the tree behind her. "Boom!"

The giant tree toppled with a crash.

Purple Mist rose from the torn trunk, corroding it furiously. In moments, nothing remained but a pool of foul-smelling black water.

This was Lu Chen's Fifth Soul Skill: Spirit Devouring Asura Domain.

It could devour other people's Soul Power attacks, then convert the attributes of the absorbed Soul Power into its own and use them to strengthen him.

However, if an opponent's Soul Power was one major stage higher than his, the effect would be greatly reduced. He could only devour forty percent of the attack's power, and for every additional stage of difference, the effect would decrease by another ten percent.

Dugu Yan looked stunned. "H-how are you supposed to fight against that?"

Lu Chen smiled faintly, and the surrounding Spirit Devouring Asura Domain faded away.

Dugu Bo was itching to cut Lu Chen open and see what the boy had inside him.

If Lu Chen's Martial Soul weren't a Weapon Spirit, Dugu Bo would have suspected that a Soul Beast had taken human form and appeared at his side.

Lu Chen smiled at Dugu Yan and reassured her. "You're only a Soul Ancestor, after all. It's normal that you can't beat me."

Dugu Yan looked at Lu Chen. Remembering that he was even younger than she was, she felt a little dejected. "But you're younger than me... A Soul Master's cultivation slows more and more with age. I'm afraid the gap between us will only grow."

Just as Lu Chen was about to say something, a rustling sound came from nearby.

Lu Chen immediately pulled Dugu Yan behind him.

At almost the same moment, a Black Shadow shot out from the bushes.

It was a strange, enormous spider, with a body more than one and a half meters across and eight spear-like legs over three meters long.

Its body was covered in a glossy Black Carapace. The tips of its long legs were as fine as needles, and each step silently pierced the earth, their sharpness unmistakable.

White patterns covered its abdomen, stark against the pitch-black carapace.

The patterns formed a grotesque human face, and eight small eyes glimmering with a faint purple light clustered close together on its abdomen.

Two of them had been smashed, leaving a bloody mess, and several cracks ran through the carapace on its abdomen.
