God-Bestowed Ten-Thousand-Year Third and Fourth Soul Rings

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Su Qi drew both God-Bestowed Spirit Rings into his body at once. He then closed his eyes and meditated, beginning to absorb the spirit rings.

All of a sudden, the spirit ring energy carrying killing intent coursed through his limbs and bones, widening his meridians, nourishing his sinews and bones, and tempering his soul.

As the spirit ring energy gradually widened his meridians, his previously blocked Rank 43 soul power began to loosen and finally circulate normally.

The stabbing pain of swollen meridians squeezing his flesh vanished, replaced by a feeling of ease and comfort.

As he felt the spirit ring energy reshape his body, Su Qi also examined the meridians throughout his body and the upgrades to his limbs and bones from within.

Just as he was immersed in that pleasant comfort, an extremely faint trace of blood-colored Shura divine might flashed above Douluo Hall before vanishing.

At the same moment.

Inside Consecration Hall, Qian Daoliu suddenly opened his eyes, his expression changing drastically.

Elsewhere, within Papal Palace, Bibi Dong abruptly raised her head, her eyes blazing.

"Shura God's aura? Su Qi has completed the Asura First Trial!"

Realizing this, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong reached the same conclusion and flew toward Douluo Hall.

In an instant, the air above the Consecrated Douluo Mausoleum District trembled.

Qian Daoliu arrived to Su Qi's right, the pressure of the Holy Angel blanketing the heavens and earth.

Bibi Dong, meanwhile, arrived to Su Qi's left, her sinister Rakshasa soul power enveloping the surroundings.

The inheritors of two Deities stood facing each other, their auras clashing as undercurrents surged.

Meanwhile, Su Qi sat quietly between them, his eyes tightly shut as he continued absorbing the God-Bestowed Spirit Rings.

Even under the crushingly terrifying auras of Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, the two peerless powerhouses, he remained utterly still. His mind was without a ripple, completely unaffected.

Seeing two blood-red spirit rings revolving around Su Qi's body, Qian Daoliu cried out in shock, "Two God-Bestowed Spirit Rings? And he's absorbing them simultaneously? How is that possible?"

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed slightly as she sneered. "I never expected there to be something in this world capable of leaving the Grand Consecrated Elder so astonished and flustered. What a rare sight."

At her words, Qian Daoliu shifted his gaze from Su Qi to Bibi Dong across from him and said coldly, "Bibi Dong, shouldn't you be handling affairs in Papal Palace? What are you doing in Douluo Hall?"

"Without my permission, even if you are the Pope, you are not allowed to take a single step into Douluo Hall while I still live!"

"As the Pope, I have a duty to protect Spirit Hall. An anomaly has suddenly appeared in Douluo Hall, the sacred ground of Spirit Hall. Naturally, I should come inspect the situation."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong glanced at Su Qi, then at the tombstone before him. It read: Tomb of Ye Fan, Eighth Consecrated Elder of Spirit Hall.

A strange light flashed through her eyes. As though she had thought of something, Bibi Dong suddenly looked at Qian Daoliu and smiled faintly. "Grand Consecrated Elder, since Su Qi caused the anomaly, you can rest assured now, can't you? Why not return to Consecration Hall?"

"Bibi Dong, you are the one who should return to Papal Palace." With a hint of command in his voice, Qian Daoliu said heavily, "Su Qi is absorbing spirit rings here. I am enough to protect him. Your strength is inferior to mine, so why haven't you left?"

At this, rage immediately surged within Bibi Dong's heart. After a moment of silence, she still forcibly suppressed it.

She clenched her scepter hatefully but neither left nor spoke again, merely standing there calmly.

If she truly obeyed and left, wouldn't that give Qian Daoliu a chance to cozy up to Su Qi?

Once Qian Daoliu lured Su Qi away, she would no longer have any chance of exterminating the Angel Clan and destroying Spirit Hall!

Seeing that Bibi Dong refused to leave, Qian Daoliu did not force her further.

The two stood on either side of Su Qi. While protecting him, they unleashed their respective soul power pressures against one another, neither willing to tolerate the other.

While Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong secretly competed, Su Qi finished absorbing his spirit rings.

His accumulated Rank 43 soul power, combined with a large amount of Whale Gel and the bodily strengthening from absorbing spirit rings beyond his level twice.

Along with the ten-thousand-year Soul Devouring Jellyfish Right Arm Bone widening his meridians, and the medicinal effects of the Icefire Immortal Herb carried by his soul improving his aptitude.

All these conditions combined brought Su Qi's potential and physical endurance to their limits.

The age of a God-Bestowed Spirit Ring depended entirely on the absorber's physical endurance and potential.

Therefore, after Su Qi absorbed the two God-Bestowed Spirit Rings, both spirit rings reached their utmost quality.

The colors of the two spirit rings changed from blood-red to black.

At the same time, the Divine Trial reward took effect, raising the age of his first and second spirit rings by one thousand years!

Purple, purple, black, black.

A total of four spirit rings rose and fell around Su Qi's body, while waves of soul power burst from within him. This was a sign that his soul power was increasing.

An increase in soul power meant that the level bottleneck had been broken through!

After Su Qi broke through his Rank 30 soul power bottleneck, he continued on to break through the Rank 40 bottleneck, his meridians widening and strengthening again and again.

The instant he advanced to a four-ring Soul Ancestor, the three levels of soul power granted by the Divine Trial reward combined with the soul power gained from absorbing two ten-thousand-year spirit rings. His soul power soared directly from Rank 40 to the Rank 50 bottleneck, allowing him to obtain a fifth spirit ring and advance once more.

With Asura divine sense protecting his body, neither Qian Daoliu nor Bibi Dong could perceive the depth of Su Qi's soul power, so they were not surprised.

However, both were astonished by the spirit ring configuration now before their eyes.

Su Qi's first spirit ring had originally been a yellow hundred-year spirit ring, but it had now become a purple thousand-year spirit ring. It must have been granted by the Divine Trial reward.

As for his black ten-thousand-year Third Soul Ring and Fourth Soul Ring, it was only because he himself was outstanding enough that the God-Bestowed Spirit Rings had reached the ten-thousand-year tier.

As Divine Trial rewards accumulated in the future, this configuration of two purple and two black spirit rings would surely become even more terrifying!

It was clear that Su Qi's talent had already surpassed that of every soul master.

No, it surpassed every inheritor of a Deity!

The Shura God's Inheritor truly received extraordinary treatment!

Yet what neither Bibi Dong nor Qian Daoliu knew was that if either of them had undertaken Shura God's Trial, they would certainly have failed to complete even the Asura First Trial.

It had never been that Shura God gave his inheritors exceptional treatment. Rather, only according to how capable an inheritor was would Shura God issue Divine Trials of corresponding difficulty.

The greater the difficulty of completing a Divine Trial, the richer its rewards would naturally be.

Just as Shura God had said, only fierce fire could test true gold.

Su Qi's achievements today were not due to Shura God favoring him, but the reward he had earned through the efforts of two lifetimes under Divine Trials of extraordinary difficulty.

At that moment, the imprinted information of the Third and Fourth Soul Skills flooded into Su Qi's mind.

The Third Soul Ring was fifteen thousand years old and carried the Third Soul Skill, Asura Blood Eyes.

This soul skill had been formed by fusing the medicinal effects of the Autumn Water Dew carried by his soul with the killing intent of the Asura Demon Sword.

Once activated, it doubled dynamic vision and spiritual power, allowing him to see through all things and expose every form of invisibility and illusion.

He could even condense invisible mental blood swords within his blood eyes. They ignored all defenses and required no eye contact, directly killing or intimidating enemies on the spiritual level.

The Fourth Soul Ring was thirty thousand years old and carried the Fourth Soul Skill, Asura Endless Shackles.

This soul skill fused the medicinal effects of the Icefire Immortal Herb carried by his soul with the killing intent of the Asura Demon Sword.

It could condense killing intent into blood-colored chains with ice and fire attributes that automatically tracked enemies, making it an area-of-effect group attack.

After binding an enemy, the chains would burn away all shields and buffs while inflicting cold upon them, reducing bodily functions and lowering the circulation speed of soul power by 30%.

Enemies bound by the chains might be burned directly to ashes or frozen into blocks of ice and killed.

If they were attacked by the Asura Demon Sword, the damage would be doubled.

After comprehending the information about the Third and Fourth Soul Skills, Su Qi was about to finish absorbing the spirit rings when a sudden change occurred to his body.

His External Left Palm Bone, the Bloodshadow Hand, and the Soul Devouring Jellyfish Right Arm Bone lit up at the same time.

At this sight, Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong were greatly shaken, their eyes once again filled with shock and bewilderment.

Could it be that another Divine Trial reward had yet to take effect on Su Qi?
