Destruction Black Hole Spirit, Inheriting the God of Destruction from the Start - Section 13

"Little one, congratulations on completing the First Trial of the Nine Trials of Destruction. Here is your reward!"

"First Trial rewards: Soul Power increases by three levels, all Spirit Ring ages increase by five hundred years, and Destruction God Affinity increases by ten percent."

At once, a surge of power burst from the mark on his forehead.

The next moment, the two Hundred-Year Soul Rings circling him silently turned purple!

Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhui were both stunned by the sight.

This was the second time they had directly experienced the power of a god.

The last time, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, their positions had kept them from seeing the Destruction God King effortlessly annihilate the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings.

This time, however, he had raised both Yang Ziyuan's First and Second Soul Rings to a thousand years with ease, right before their eyes!

Such heaven-defying power was downright terrifying.

Just as Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhui were lost in thought, Yang Ziyuan suddenly opened his eyes, a bright smile spreading across his face.

"I never expected the reward to be this good! Not only did all my Soul Rings reach a thousand years, but my Soul Power Level has also reached level 36!"

As Yang Ziyuan marveled at his progress, the Destruction God King's voice sounded again.

"Nine Trials of Destruction, Second Trial! Within three years, hunt a Soul Beast with fifty thousand years of cultivation on your own! Reward: Soul Power increases by four levels, one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring, and Destruction God Affinity increases by ten percent."

At that, Yang Ziyuan's expression darkened.

Hunt a Soul Beast with fifty thousand years of cultivation on his own within three years! That was no easy task!

Still, it wasn't impossible!

A Soul Beast with fifty thousand years of cultivation was only equivalent to a Soul Saint.

As long as he raised his Soul Power Level, he should have a chance of killing it with the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings' Soul Bones!

Just then, Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhui came over.

"Ziyuan, what's your Soul Power Level now?"

"Grandpa, I'm a level 36 Soul Elder now!"

"What? You're already level 36?"

Now it was Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhui's turn to be dumbfounded.

Though they had always believed Yang Ziyuan was the most outstanding, they had never imagined he would be such a monster!

In just a few short months, he had gone from a level 20 Soul Grandmaster to a Soul Elder.

And not just any Soul Elder—he was level 36!

Even the geniuses in Spirit Hall would struggle to reach Soul Elder at twelve.

Yet Yang Ziyuan had not only managed it, but had done so nearly six years ahead of schedule!

"Ziyuan, what's your Third Soul Skill? What does it do? Did you get the Heaven-Swallowing Python's Myriad Things Transformation?"

"Grandpa, my Third Soul Skill is called Origin Regression! It's an enhanced version of Myriad Things Transformation. Once an enemy is hit by my Soul Skill, I can drain their Soul Power and even their life force! Most importantly, anyone whose Soul Power I drain permanently loses that portion of it! For example, if I drain seventy percent of a Soul Elder's Soul Power, they'll be left with only thirty percent forever. Even if they later become a Titled Douluo, they'll have only thirty percent of the Soul Power reserves of others!"

At Yang Ziyuan's words, Yang Wudi and Yang Wuhui's expressions grew grave.

That Soul Skill was practically a curse.

If Yang Ziyuan used it on them and drained them until they had only about ten percent of their Soul Power left, they probably wouldn't even be able to deal with a Soul King, would they?

Still, as powerful as this Soul Skill was, he couldn't let its true nature be exposed.

Otherwise, Spirit Hall would definitely brand Yang Ziyuan an Evil Soul Master!

After all, that ability wasn't much different from the methods used by Evil Soul Masters!

"Ziyuan, I won't spell out everything you need to know. Never use this Soul Skill on 'ordinary people.' Do you understand?"

"Mm, I understand!"

Ordinary people? That just meant he shouldn't use it during sparring matches~

Still, there weren't many people he could use this Soul Skill on. Tang San barely qualified!

"Alright, now that we've finished here, let's head back to Heaven Dou City and get ready. After visiting the Strength Clan, we'll set out for Vast Sea City."

Yang Wuhui was rather displeased to hear that Yang Wudi wanted to visit the Strength Clan.

"Why visit them? Ziyuan's time is so precious now. How can we waste it on them?"

Yang Wuhui, who had ventured out on his own at a young age, had long forgotten the bonds between the Four Great Clans.

Once Yang Ziyuan became a god, the good days of the Breaking Clan would finally begin!

"Big Brother, I want to visit the Strength Clan mainly for Ziyuan's sake! Think about it: our Breaking Clan struggled even with the First Trial. If we had another ally, things would be different. You know the Strength Clan's strength is nothing to scoff at!"

Yang Wudi pleaded.

Yang Wuhui was taken aback by his words.

He had a point!

With the strength of their Breaking Clan, it would indeed be difficult to help Yang Ziyuan complete the later God Trials.

Just as Yang Wuhui was about to nod in agreement, Yang Ziyuan suddenly stepped forward.

"Second Uncle, I disagree with you! Forget what the Strength Clan could do for us—given the Immortal Herbs we already have, would it really be difficult to create a Titled Douluo? Besides, if someone from the Strength Clan joined us, could you guarantee they wouldn't leak information about me? We're not related to them, unlike the Clear Sky Sect, whose people are their masters!"

"Th-this... sigh."

When Yang Ziyuan contradicted him, Yang Wudi didn't know what to say.

Still, he understood that if they revealed everything to the Strength Clan, they certainly wouldn't keep it secret.

He knew Tai Tan was a diehard loyalist of the Clear Sky Sect—stubborn as a rock.

The only way to make him keep a secret would be for Yang Ziyuan to be the Clear Sky Sect's leader!

But the problem was, he belonged to the Breaking Clan!

"Alright! If my nephew doesn't want to go, then we'll leave it. But we should at least return to Heaven Dou City to rest, right?"

"Mm."

Yang Ziyuan and the others then returned to Heaven Dou City.

Heaven Dou City, Imperial Palace, Crown Prince's Residence.

"So, Uncle She, you weren't able to find out what caused the tremors in Sunset Forest?"

A refined and elegant man sat in a chair in the room and asked softly.

This person was none other than the Spirit Hall Saintess, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe!

"This subordinate failed. Please punish me, Young Master!"

"That wasn't your fault! And you found Dugu Bo's hiding place, so it wasn't a complete loss!"

She Long breathed a sigh of relief.

"Reporting to you, Young Master, a group of people recently arrived in Heaven Dou City. It seems their leader is Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan!"

"Yang Wudi of the Breaking Clan?"

At the name, Qian Renxue suddenly remembered that she had his younger brother, Yang Wushuang, in her hands.

After all, the secret medicine of the Breaking Clan, Seven-Colored Radiant, had been instrumental in her silently poisoning Emperor Xue Ye!

She was also in need of a proper alchemy clan. Perhaps she could approach them tomorrow and see if she could bring them under her wing?

With that in mind, Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Uncle She, send someone to inform him that I'll visit tomorrow!"

"Yes!"

She Long nodded, then withdrew.

The following day.

Yang Ziyuan, who was about to cultivate, was pulled into the reception hall by Yang Wudi.

"Second Uncle, what are you doing?"

"Nephew, cultivation requires a balance of work and rest. While we have the chance, I'll introduce you to the most powerful person in the Tiandou Empire and help you expand your network!"

Yang Ziyuan frowned at Yang Wudi's words.

The most powerful person in the Tiandou Empire?

Spirit Hall? Probably not! The strongest person Spirit Hall had publicly stationed in Heaven Dou City was Salas.

Besides, given Second Uncle's hatred of Spirit Hall, he wouldn't be welcoming anyone from there like this.

So the person they were about to meet couldn't be him.
