"Asura Five Trials: temper your heart for three years in the Slaughter Origin Space of the Asura God. Passed."
"Reward: 10% Asura Divine Power Affinity. Reward: Asura Domain."
Asura's voice faded, and Qian Xunji immediately felt a change in his Martial Soul.
The original Angel Domain vanished completely, while Divine Slaughter's Domain evolved into the Asura Domain.
Fortunately, the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul's ability to purify the Soul Power within others' bodies had not disappeared.
The Asura Domain was a true god-level domain. Before truly inheriting the Asura God Position, he could not unleash its real power.
The Angel Domain was decent, but only decent. In truly high-level battles, a mere 30% boost was nothing worth mentioning.
The moment the Asura Domain opened, the environment within it instantly became a world of ice and snow. Qian Xunji's eyes immediately turned red, and his hair turned white as well.
Silver hair and red eyes, but not a loli; crimson light flashed amid the ice and snow.
Qian Xunji crossed his left arm over his chest and propped his chin with his right hand.
He was considering how to make the Asura Domain permanent, and how to keep its range fixed around his body without affecting the environment or others.
There was no helping it. He thought silver hair and red eyes looked far cooler than golden hair and golden eyes.
Whether something was strong depended on the version, but being "cool" was for life.
Still, Qian Xunji wanted elegant black hair and black eyes even more.
Going out with a head of golden hair would get him mistaken for some blond punk.
"What's the next God Trial?" Qian Xunji muttered.
Speak of a God Trial, and a God Trial appeared.
A dazzling crimson light flashed. Qian Xunji closed his eyes and raised a hand before them to block the glare.
When the red light dispersed, an altar appeared before him.
A sword was embedded in the altar.
[Asura Demon Sword, an imitation of the super divine artifact Asura God Sword. It was forged by the Asura God King using his own origin and Asura killing aura.]
Qian Xunji glanced at the system's appraisal and immediately knew that this was the sword wielded by the King of Slaughter in the original story.
It was also the sword Tang San had used to kill Bibi Dong during the battle of the three gods at Jialing Pass.
In the original Douluo Continent storyline, Qian Xunji died at Bibi Dong's hands.
But if Qian Xunji held the sword that killed Bibi Dong, the entire situation would be reversed.
Eastie, if I become the Asura God King and you become the Rakshasa God,
then I shall grant you a sword: Asura Judgment.
Do not disappoint me so badly that I cannot even summon the interest to kill you myself.
The Rakshasa God Position was a First-Level God Position, after all. It was qualified to be stored in the System Space as a rather nice collectible.
"Asura Six Trials: obtain the recognition of the divine artifact Asura Demon Sword."
Obtain the Asura Demon Sword's recognition?
Did these divine artifacts and super divine artifacts of Douluo have Artifact Spirits?
There should be a fragment of Asura's divine consciousness residing within the Asura Demon Sword, acting as the examiner, right?
The God Trial required him to create his own Soul Skill, and it had to be a sword-type Soul Skill.
As an Asura Successor, he should possess formidable combat strength even without relying on Spirit Rings or Spirit Bone skills.
"There's even a note: the self-created Soul Skill must be powerful, or it will not gain the Asura Demon Sword's recognition."
Qian Xunji felt as if he had been scammed.
Or rather, he instinctively believed that Asura was trying to swindle a skill out of him.
In the original story, Tang Chen did not know any swordsmanship at all, nor did he possess any self-created sword-type Soul Skills.
In this era, only the Angel Qian Family, Seven-Kill Chen Family, and Wind Sword Feng Family possessed self-created sword-type Soul Skills.
Probably, perhaps, only those three families.
Forget it. He would demonstrate Sword Separating the World for Asura.
Completing the Asura God Trial as quickly as possible was what mattered most.
Qian Xunji did not use Martial Soul Possession. He simply took out an ordinary iron sword and began his demonstration.
He gathered power, condensed sword qi into threads, used infrared laser guidance, and shattered ten thousand techniques with a single sword.
The rocks of Hell Road were sliced apart like tofu, their cuts smooth and fine.
God Realm, Asura God Temple.
Through the water curtain, Asura watched Qian Xunji display "Sword Separating the World."
"Good, good, good!"
He clapped his hands and shouted praise three times.
Asura was one of the Five Great God Kings of the God Realm. No one knew how many tens of thousands of years he had lived; the depth of his experience and sharpness of his judgment were self-evident.
At a glance, he saw the extraordinary nature of "Sword Separating the World."
He watched Qian Xunji practice it once every day for three days, and the move grew more powerful by the day.
Moreover, the increase in power was not gradual. It was a qualitative leap across entire levels.
Asura: I'm already planning to pass my Godhood to him. So what if I learn one of his self-created divine skills?
Sword Separating the World, with its world-destroying power, greatly tempted Asura.
At this moment, he had already regarded it as his trump card for when he left the God Realm to travel the universe.
Asura's gaze turned toward the Sea God Temple, and he thought, I can only make Sea God suffer a little.
Qian Xunji had given him a huge surprise, so naturally, he had to return the favor.
But even as a God King, he could not directly send things from the God Realm to Douluo Continent as opportunities for Qian Xunji.
Thus, he could only pluck some wool from Sea God Poseidon's territory.
Asura Seven Trials, it would be you.
Sea God Temple. Sea God Poseidon sensed that Qian Xunji, that obsessive grinder, had once again arrived at the sea.
"He has already completed the Asura Six Trials." Poseidon drew a deep breath, deeply astonished.
In all these years, this was the first time he had seen someone complete the Asura Six Trials in a God Trial personally designed by Asura's true body.
Sea God remembered that the Asura Five Trials required the inheritor to temper his heart for three years in Asura's Slaughter Origin Space.
Staying in that damned place for three years—forget an ordinary mortal who had not become a god, even a second-level god would go mad before lasting that long.
A God King-level God Trial was truly terrifying.
"How did this Angel Descendant pass the Asura Six Trials?"
"I heard Asura mention that the sixth trial required the inheritor to create a Soul Skill capable of satisfying him."
There were some things Sea God did not dare say, for fear of being struck by the Asura Blood Sword.
A self-created Soul Skill capable of satisfying a God King? What the hell kind of self-created Soul Skill was that?!
That was clearly a divine skill, and one with God King-level potential—a prototype of an ultimate divine skill.
Asura had cast his net wide for so many years. There had been countless God Trial candidates, and he had repeatedly lowered the standards, yet no one had passed the trials and inherited the Godhood. Was it not because the trials were too difficult and the requirements too high?
Those capable of inheriting a God King's Godhood were all peerless geniuses with the potential to become God Kings.
As long as they did not perish midway and had sufficient opportunities and resources, they could transform into dragons in a single day, step into the God King realm, establish a God Realm, and command a region of stars.
Sea God believed that he too had the potential to become a God King. He merely lacked a little opportunity and resources.
He wished to pass down his Godhood and leave the God Realm to travel the universe because he sought the opportunity to break through into the God King realm.
Without reaching the God King realm in cultivation, one would always remain beneath others.
Poseidon: I, Sea God Poseidon, have roamed the world all my life. I shall not be inferior to anyone.
The direction in which Qian Xunji was flying within the water curtain looked familiar to him.
He remembered that direction seemed to be...
"Asura, you really aren't acting like a god!"
"That is the Sea God Divine Trial I left for my inheritor!"
Poseidon's eyes turned bloodshot as he panted like a bull and kicked open the doors of the Asura God Temple.
He was furious. He was enraged.
That was a great opportunity he had specifically left behind as a gift for his inheritor.
"Asura, you still haven't compensated me for my mount, Demon Soul Great White Shark King Xiaobai, and the Evil Orca King from my God Trial."
"Now your inheritor has gone to the sea again, and he is even heading for the Demon Whale Sea Area."
Poseidon slammed his palm against the table and roared, "That inheritor of yours is a slaughtering god! Compensate me for my great whale!"
"Calm down, calm down. If it dies, it dies. At worst, just descend to the lower realm and revive it with divine power." This time, Asura knew he was in the wrong, so he did not hold Sea God Poseidon kicking open his door and slamming the table against him.
"Asura, you make it sound easy. Will Destruction allow me to descend to the lower realm?"
"If Destruction gives you trouble, just push it onto me." Asura patted his chest in guarantee.
"When Destruction comes looking for you, don't come complain to me. He's far too nagging." After saying that, Poseidon rolled his eyes at Asura and left the Asura God Temple.
He needed to return to his own temple and issue a Divine Oracle to his High Priestess, telling her to quickly use her Ninth Soul Skill to Summon Sea God.
Poseidon feared that after Qian Xunji killed the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King, he would reclaim not only its corpse but its soul as well.
Without a soul, revival would be impossible.
