The Dragon God's Domain

In fact, all the gods who survived from the era of the Dragon God, regardless of whether they were good or evil, displayed astonishing wisdom at this moment.

However, compared to these deities who "smoothly" advanced their inheritance, the Asura God is now facing a problem.

His face, which was always shrouded in a bloodthirsty aura, was now furrowed in frown.

"The Asura Divine Sword..."

His most crucial Super Divine Artifact, the symbol of his authority to judge the gods, was forcibly summoned away right under his nose!

This directly prevented him from continuing his designed divine test.

Chapter 292 Dragon God Realm

A series of unexpected events: the Golden Dragon King breaks free of his seal, the Asura Divine Sword changes hands, and the Dragon God is about to revive...

With the plan disrupted, even the ruthless and rational Asura God couldn't help but feel an uncontrollable surge of anger.

He could indeed, with his profound knowledge and by expending countless rare materials, reforge a powerful divine weapon.

But let's not even talk about the fact that there's not enough time.

Even if there's enough time, the Asura Divine Sword is still different!

It is not an ordinary divine artifact, but Super Divine Artifact that accompanies the position of the Asura God. It contains the purest laws of judgment and slaughter, and is a symbol of the authority to administer punishment and judge gods on behalf of the Divine Realm!

Losing it is not just losing a weapon, but also a direct weakening of the essence of the Asura God, which will seriously affect the complete inheritance of the god's position!

but...

The Asura God's icy gaze pierced through layers of spatial barriers, once again falling upon the lower realm, locking onto the figure clad in the Azure Dragon Demonic Armor—Armor.

Fortunately, the successor he had chosen was indeed exceptionally talented, decisive in his actions, and held fast to a unique sense of order and principles, which perfectly aligned with the core laws of the Asura God.

More importantly, the peculiar demonic blade Martial Soul in his hand caught the attention of the Asura God.

That demonic blade seemed to be no ordinary object of this world; its essence was extremely special. The Asura God could even vaguely sense that it possessed the enormous potential to grow into a divine artifact.

"Perhaps... it's feasible," the Asura God pondered.

Since the Asura Divine Sword was forcibly recalled by the Dragon God Soul, why not start afresh?

With the infinitely potential demonic blade of Kai as the new foundation, guided by him personally, infused with the most primal rules of judgment and slaughter, and tempered and sublimated with the finest materials from the Divine Realm, it is not impossible to cultivate a brand new blade of judgment that belongs exclusively to Kai!

Although this requires a tremendous amount of effort and time, and is far less convenient than directly inheriting the Asura Divine Sword, given the circumstances, this may be the best way to make up for the deficiencies in the divine position.

Once he made up his mind, his vast divine sense, like an invisible giant net, swept across his inexhaustible treasure trove.

[Zircon, Abyssal Demon Iron, Judgment Crystal...]

Each of the materials mentioned is a top-tier divine object that would make even First-Level God envious, containing fragments of the universe's most extreme rules of killing and judgment.

He decided to personally forge a unique Judgment Blade, exclusively for Armor, for the heir in the lower realm who was still unaware of everything!

This is undoubtedly a high-stakes gamble, betting on the future succession of the Asura God.

But the Asura God's gaze, honed by countless years, convinced him that Kai's aptitude and that uniquely magical blade were worth his investment.

However, the armor in the lower realm was completely unaware of this.

Due to the unique nature of the Asura God Trial —it doesn't have specific stages or tests, but rather a continuous qualification certification and observation, with the reward only appearing once the inheritor fully meets all the conditions and officially passes all the God Trials—Kai still can't clearly perceive the progress of his God Trial, let alone know how far he is from becoming a god.

He simply followed his own path, constantly improving himself through daily cultivation and battles, completely unaware that his Martial Soul had been "targeted" by the Supreme God King of the Divine Realm.

········································

Meanwhile, in Spirit City.

A ripple in space flashed by, and Dongfang Jing's figure appeared silently, his travel-worn appearance carrying an undisguised sense of satisfaction.

She had just returned from the frigid environment of the Extreme North.

Beside her was a strangely shaped Soul Beast. Its entire body was like flowing mercury, and its outline was constantly and subtly changing, sometimes clear and sometimes blurry. Most peculiar were its compound eyes, which seemed to be composed of countless tiny mirrors, reflecting a mesmerizing light. This was the ten-thousand-year-old mirror beast with whom she had signed a contract.

Dongfang Jing's original plan was simply to find a light-attribute Soul Beast to form a contract with, but she never expected that she would be so lucky as to encounter a mirror beast that was perfectly compatible with her Martial Soul and her own fighting style.

Without much hesitation, she changed her mind and successfully formed a contract with the mirror beast.

The only regret is that this mirror beast is a bit too young, only ten thousand years old. For Dongfang Jing now, Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast seems a bit insufficient as a partner.

However, Dongfang Jing believed that with the resources of the Spirit Hall and her own training, she might be able to help this Mirror Beast break through its limits.

After all, compatibility is far more important than simply the number of years.

And the Soul Skill produced by the Mirror Beast certainly lived up to Dongfang Jing's expectations.

Dongfang Jing can now summon an additional mirror image for combat movement!

As soon as Dongfang Jing returned, he casually used Dongfang Yao to practice his skill effects.

As always, it feels excellent in the hand.

My brother is still my brother!

······································

Today, the Spirit Hall Empire, with its vast territory that rules the entire continent and the number of Soul Master, has become an unprecedented holy land for Soul Master.

Meanwhile, in order to extricate themselves from the impending upheaval, the gods of the Divine Realm unleashed their divine trials, resulting in an astonishing number of registered divine trial participants within the Spirit Hall Empire.

It was precisely because of this huge number that Ning Fengzhi, upon learning that his daughter Ning Rongrong had passed the Nine-Colored Goddess Examination, was gratified but did not rebel.

In the current Spirit Hall Empire, although Divine Examiners are still highly respected, they are no longer a rarity. Even high-ranking Soul Master in the empire are aware of the origins of Divine Examiners.

Only the remnants of the two great empires who are still putting up a last-ditch resistance would see the emergence of a divine examiner as a hope to reverse the tide of history.

Little did they know, such "hope" existed in many places within the Spirit Hall Empire!

·································

With the support and resources of the Spirit Hall Empire, Ning Rongrong and Li Bai also began to learn about and study the Soul Beast Contract Cultivation Method, which was the latest research and promotion of the empire.

The two consumed the Martial Soul Awakening Pill from the Empire to awaken their Second Martial Soul. Based on this, even after becoming Titled Douluo, they could still sign contracts with Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring.

During the contract ceremony, Ning Rongrong clearly sensed the surging Soul Power within her body, gradually resonating with the contracted Soul Beast. The feeling of perfect harmony and complete lack of repulsion filled her with wonder and awe.

What reassured her even more was that she could clearly feel the affection and protectiveness conveyed by her contracted Soul Beast.

"If only the First Martial Soul could have obtained its Soul Ring in this way back then..." Ning Rongrong thought with a hint of regret.

In that case, the status of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would inevitably undergo a dramatic change.

"Support-type Soul Master can now possess considerable combat power by relying on their contracted Soul Beast," Ning Rongrong murmured, her eyes gleaming.

She could even imagine a Soul Master with exceptional support abilities, working with a powerful Soul Beast they had a contract with, turning the tables and overwhelming a combat-type Soul Master on the battlefield.

This completely overturned the ironclad rule in the traditional Soul Master system that support-type Soul Master must rely on Battle Soul Master for protection.

Even Ning Fengzhi, who had always harbored complex feelings and even a hidden aversion to the Spirit Hall Empire, couldn't help but sincerely admire the excellence of this new cultivation system after witnessing it firsthand and gaining a deep understanding of it.

This is not just another way to acquire Soul Ring, but also opens up a completely different and more promising cultivation path for all support-type Soul Master.

Despite his disagreement with some of the methods employed by the Spirit Hall Empire, Ning Fengzhi had to admit that the Spirit Hall Empire, led by Qian Xunji, had indeed made unprecedented contributions to advancing the civilization of Soul Master.

······································

With the gods of the Divine Realm intentionally or unintentionally "letting loose" and allocating resources to them, the divine examiners within the Spirit Hall Empire are making rapid progress in strength at an astonishing rate.

The difficulty of the divine trials has been secretly reduced, while the rewards have become increasingly generous. All signs indicate that the gods are eagerly urging the birth of a new generation of deities.

One after another, the top examinees, such as Qian Renxue, Xiang Yu, Daji, and Kai, all reached the final barrier.

Even Tang San, with the help and protection of the Silver Dragon King, reached the Ninth Trial of the Rakshasa God's Trial!

The eyes of the entire continent were focused on this, anticipating the birth of the first god.

In the Divine Realm, the gods are also paying close attention, perhaps even more so than those in the mortal realm.

An indescribable sense of unease, seemingly originating from the source, grew and spread in the hearts of these gods who had lived for countless ages.

This vague sense of crisis prompted them to continuously lower their standards, almost wishing they could force these heirs to break through to level 100 immediately.

Even Rakshasa God, who is known for being "stingy" and "torturing his successors," unusually provided Tang San with some precious resources, hoping that he could complete the assessment more quickly.

However, that's often how things are; the more you worry about something, the more likely it is to happen.

The gods' ominous premonition was not unfounded.

They were right.

In the distant Dragon Horse Galaxy, within that enormous golden cocoon of light, the boundless life force and terrifying dragon might have already stabilized.

On the surface of the cocoon, fine cracks began to appear, spreading like a spider web.

"Click..."

A crisp cracking sound rang out, not loud, but it seemed to strike the hearts of every deity who sensed the change in this place.

"Boom--!"

The cocoon of light exploded with a deafening roar, unleashing endless golden light that illuminated the entire Dragon Horse Planet Starfield as if it were daytime!

A dragon-shaped figure, even larger, more majestic, and with a more ancient and profound aura than the previous Golden Dragon King, stood proudly amidst the golden light!

Its scales were no longer simply gold, but shimmered with a nine-colored, ethereal light, as if containing the laws of the universe.

Those open dragon eyes were no longer those of a wild beast, but were filled with wisdom, vicissitudes, and... a cold rage that had been suppressed for millennia!

The Dragon God has returned!

Although his aura has not yet recovered to its peak, the status and pressure of a peak God-King have already reappeared in the world!

According to the ancient rules governing this universe, any being who reaches the level of a god-king must establish and rule over their own divine realm as a symbol of their authority and an extension of their power.

The Dragon God's enormous eyes, shimmering with nine-colored light, slowly swept across the boundless starry sky. He raised his dragon claws, without any chanting or complicated rituals.

"In the name of my Dragon God,"

"This place should be the place where ten thousand dragons return to their nest."

"It should be a place where divine beasts dwell."

"It should be the domain of bloodline glory."

"Dragon God Realm - Established!"

Rumble--!
