The Sixth Soul Skill, Asura Arena

Within the Life-and-Death Arena, the entire space was dim and deathly still.

But once Su Qi restored Ye Fan to his peak, the situation instantly reversed.

A pale golden Soul Domain covered the entire arena. Below the god level, the souls of all living beings were suppressed.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger instinctively took two steps back. Watching the nine spirit rings around Ye Fan flash brilliantly, it felt an unprecedented pressure, as if its soul had been seized and it had lost control of its body.

It had survived by devouring other soul beasts to cultivate, becoming a public enemy among the continent's soul beasts and enduring countless pursuits. How could it die at the hands of a human soul master this time?

Even if it had to burn its origin, it had to survive!

A resolute glint flashed through its tiger eyes. The Evil God Bloodline within the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger suddenly boiled. After its tiger body was covered in two layers of Evil God's Protection, it threw back its head and roared, ready to fight to the death.

"Roar—!!"

The earth-shaking tiger roar tore through the suppressive effect of the Soul Domain. As the Evil God Origin erupted, the Evil God Hook behind the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, wrapped in black lightning and fierce winds, stretched out at extreme speed and stabbed toward Ye Fan's chest.

Ye Fan remained standing where he was. The two hundred-thousand-year red spirit rings on his body released powerful soul force.

He planted the Demon Spirit Sword into the ground with both hands, parted his thin lips, and spoke six words. "Soul Domain: Spirit Form Birth!"

The moment his words fell, the Soul Domain covering the entire Life-and-Death Arena trembled violently. Countless spirit forms shaped like soul masters and soul beasts emerged from the void, densely packed like a procession of a hundred ghosts.

These were all departed souls that had once been sealed within the Soul Domain. They possessed no direct combat ability, but they could possess the domain's master and grant him the abilities they had possessed in life.

Among the dense army of spirit forms, most had been formed after fallen soul masters from Slaughter City died. Brutal by nature and fearless of death, they charged toward the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger from every direction, grinning excitedly and letting out sinister "Heh heh heh" laughter.

Although they could not inflict even the slightest harm upon the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the momentum generated by their dives and the roars of the evil spirits served as excellent provocation and interference.

One female soul master spirit form with a gravity attribute possessed Ye Fan's Platinum Armor.

In an instant, the entirely platinum armor rapidly turned crimson gold.

Ye Fan temporarily gained the gravity attribute, allowing him to freely manipulate gravity within a certain range.

His eyes widened, and crimson-gold gravity descended from above, actually freezing the Evil God Hook stabbing toward him in midair.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger struggled to retract its Evil God Hook, but it was futile. Even its entire tiger body was suppressed by an immense weight, leaving it unable to move an inch.

Ye Fan pulled out the Demon Spirit Sword and swung it one-handed.

A crimson-gold slash formed entirely from soul force and gravity swept horizontally toward the Evil God Hook.

Whoosh, crack—

Amid a crisp cracking sound, the Evil God Hook frozen in midair was instantly severed by the crimson-gold slash, spraying black blood everywhere.

Roar—

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger threw back its head and let out a heart-rending roar, instinctively retracting its tail.

Seeing the Evil God Hook it had been so proud of severed from the tip of its tail, its eyes burned with fury.

The Evil God Hook was precisely the divine weapon it used to devour living beings and increase its cultivation. Now that it had been cut off from the end of its tail, its devouring ability had been greatly weakened, and the speed of its future cultivation would be limited!

Unwillingness and fury stimulated the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger. It glared at Ye Fan, wishing it could devour this bizarre human whose appearance had changed drastically and whose cultivation had surged. But under the suppression of gravity, it could not move at all, much less resist.

Meeting the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's furious glare, Ye Fan gripped the Demon Spirit Sword with both hands and infused the blade with the gravity attribute.

With level ninety-six soul power poured into it, the Demon Spirit Sword's own weight remained unchanged, but every attack carried the terrifying force of a hundred thousand jin.

The battle that followed completely became a one-sided beating.

Relying on the possession of spirit forms of all shapes and abilities, Ye Fan continuously switched between various attribute powers.

Whenever a spirit form possessed him, his Platinum Armor changed into the corresponding color. Every strike that landed on the double-layered Evil God's Protection blasted open cracks of varying depth.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was pinned firmly in place by gravity and could not dodge at all. It could only barely swing the tail that had lost its Evil God Hook while flapping its wings, hoping to disrupt Ye Fan's attack rhythm, yet it could not even touch the corner of his clothes.

After carving crack after crack into the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God's Protection, Ye Fan's sixth spirit ring lit up, and the spirit-form possession ability received a complete upgrade!

Spirit forms with wind, fire, and metal attributes simultaneously possessed the Platinum Armor.

In an instant, the left half of the armor was covered in blue wind patterns, the right half blazed with red flames, and its center shone with brilliant gilded light. The three colors complemented each other, spiritual energy soaring into the sky!

The moment the Platinum Armor transformed into three-colored armor, Ye Fan gained the speed of wind, the explosive force of fire, and the strength of metal.

Both his movement speed and sword speed became incomparably fast.

He vanished and reappeared around the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger like a gale. Every sword strike carried not only the force of a hundred thousand jin, but also metal-enhanced strength and the explosive force of fire.

Clang—

The Demon Spirit Sword came down heavily upon the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, only to be blocked by the outermost layer of Evil God's Protection.

Clang—

Another slash landed, creating a deep crack in the outermost layer of Evil God's Protection!

Clang—

The third slash struck from another angle, bringing the outermost layer of Evil God's Protection to the brink of collapse!

The fourth strike!

Boom!!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's outermost layer of Evil God's Protection finally shattered like glass and dispersed into gray light.

The innermost layer of Evil God's Protection also rapidly cracked under the shock of that terrifying force. One more heavy blow would shatter it.

At that moment, Ye Fan threw out the Demon Spirit Sword, then injected a split soul into it, allowing it to fight independently like a flying sword.

Meanwhile, under the possession of a soul beast spirit form, he transformed from a human clad in three-colored armor into a fifty-meter-tall giant soul beast.

This was the effect of a soul beast spirit form's possession.

When possessed by a soul master spirit form, one could only borrow the spirit form's innate abilities.

But possession by a soul beast spirit form transformed the entire person into the soul beast, perfectly inheriting all of its cultivation and abilities from before its death.

At that moment, the fifty-meter giant soul beast Ye Fan had transformed into was borrowing the abilities of a soul beast called the Titan Snow Demon.

This soul beast inhabited the Far North and possessed the bloodlines of the Ice God and the Titan giant. Its combat power was extremely terrifying.

Ye Fan, transformed into a Titan Snow Demon, raised a giant arm like a mountain and unleashed a Titan Meteor Fist directly at the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger wanted to flee, but the previous gravity suppression had yet to disappear. It could not move at all and could only release Dark Demon Evil Lightning, attempting to offset the Titan Meteor Fist.

Boom—!!

The ultimate giant fist, as heavy as a mountain, smashed down with brutal force!

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger could not withstand it at all. The Evil God's Protection around its body shattered completely, while its tiger body was slammed into the ground, its flesh torn open and blood flowing everywhere.

Yet Ye Fan's attacks had not stopped. After changing from the Titan Snow Demon back into human form, he hovered in midair and raised his right hand.

The independently fighting Demon Spirit Sword suddenly flew above his right hand and continuously absorbed the surrounding spirit forms.

With every spirit form it absorbed, the Demon Spirit Sword doubled in size, and crimson-gold soul flames ignited over its blade.

By the time all the spirit forms had been absorbed, the Demon Spirit Sword had transformed into a crimson-gold giant sword dozens of meters long.

Ye Fan himself also entered the Soul True Body state of his seventh soul skill, transforming into a fifty-meter-tall giant clad in half-body crimson-gold armor.

He gripped the crimson-gold giant sword with one hand, aimed at the dying Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, and thrust down fiercely!

Whoosh—!

Bang!!

With a violent roar, the crimson-gold giant sword directly pierced through the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body embedded in the ground.

Strangely, the ground did not explode, nor did the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's body burst apart.

Because this sword was an absolute kill on the level of the soul!

It only slew the soul and did not destroy physical matter!

The next second, the crimson-gold giant sword slowly rose.

The Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul was continuously pulled by the giant sword, until it was forcibly torn from its body.

However, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul was not sealed within the Soul Domain.

Instead, after the crimson-gold giant sword reverted to the Demon Spirit Sword, it fused into Ye Fan's soul along with the split soul, evolving his soul force into the Ultimate Soul Attribute.

Having lost its soul, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger was killed just like that.

At last, a victor had emerged within the Life-and-Death Arena.

Once the deathmatch ended, Ye Fan reverted to Su Qi's appearance. His Soul Martial Soul also reverted to the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul, while his soul power fell from level ninety-six to level sixty.

At the same time, the void trembled, and the energy of the dark arena slowly receded.

Above the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's corpse, two supreme treasures slowly appeared.

One was a sixty-thousand-year spirit ring, pitch-black and profound, emanating sinister temporal and spatial energy.

The other was a round orb, dark all over and covered in Evil God patterns, with faint temporal and spatial light flowing across it. This orb was the Evil God Orb containing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Evil God Origin.

Thanks to the temporal and spatial confinement rules inherent to the Life-and-Death Arena, this Evil God Orb, which could have escaped through countless planes, was firmly locked within the arena and unable to flee!

At that moment, a strange scene appeared.

As if it possessed consciousness, the Evil God Orb actively approached the black sixty-thousand-year spirit ring. The two supreme treasures began to merge, intertwine, and transform!

The supreme Evil God Origin within the Evil God Orb was completely poured into the black sixty-thousand-year spirit ring.

Buzz—!

The black sixty-thousand-year spirit ring trembled violently, its color rapidly transforming from black to red.

Even its age surged from sixty thousand years to a hundred thousand years, carrying a complete Evil God Origin!

Witnessing this with his own eyes, Su Qi froze. After the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's sixty-thousand-year spirit ring merged with the Evil God Orb, it had directly evolved into a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?

"Could the Evil God have secretly interfered?"

Just as Su Qi considered that possibility, a right leg bone resembling an Evil God Hook quietly appeared above the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring.

This was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Evil God Right Leg Bone born from the fusion of the soul bone energy dropped by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger and the Evil God Orb!

"Whatever. I'll absorb them first!"

Afraid that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Bone before him would suddenly disappear, Su Qi quickly sat cross-legged on the ground and simultaneously guided the spirit ring and soul bone into his body.

The next second.

The energy of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and soul bone instantly washed through his limbs, bones, meridians, and dantian!

The incomparably pure Evil God Origin, temporal and spatial power, and wind, lightning, darkness, and evil energy frantically nourished his body through his meridians, tempering his bones and replenishing his soul power.

Since the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul had long been assimilated by the Soul Martial Soul, Su Qi did not feel even the slightest soul tremor while absorbing the spirit ring.

However, even if there had been soul tremors, there was no longer any need to worry.

Because the soul force of the Soul Martial Soul had evolved the Ultimate Soul Attribute.

After reverting to Su Qi's soul, the Ultimate Soul Attribute remained. Even the soul tremors of the million-year soul beast Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm could be completely nullified!

About an hour passed.

The spirit ring and soul bone were absorbed successfully at the same time!

The level sixty bottleneck was broken. Under the enhancement of the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring and soul bone, his soul power surged by a total of seven levels.

Su Qi was now a level sixty-seven, six-ringed assault-type Soul Emperor.

Purple, purple, black, black, black, red!

A total of six spirit rings rose and fell around his body, shining brilliantly.

Su Qi remained seated with his eyes closed, carefully comprehending the information contained in the spirit ring and soul bone.

Because it was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring, the sixth spirit ring came with two sixth soul skills.

The first sixth soul skill was called: Asura Evil God Transformation.

After activating the soul skill, he gained the use of six attributes—time, space, wind, lightning, darkness, and evil—for half an hour.

Killing intent merged with evil energy to form baleful energy, possessing both the dominance of killing intent and the corrosiveness of evil energy. It could directly destroy a soul master's body, spirit, Martial Soul, and even erase Martial Soul bloodlines.

It was not difficult to see from the soul skill information that the sixth soul skill, Asura Evil God Transformation, was an enhancement-type skill. Although it did not explicitly state the percentage of enhancement, gaining the use of six attributes for a certain period of time was already incredibly overpowered.

Moreover, killing intent merging with evil energy into baleful energy was enough to erase Martial Soul bloodlines. It was terrifying beyond measure and could be called the nightmare of all soul masters.

The second sixth soul skill was called: Asura Arena.

Once activated, this soul skill could forcibly drag a single enemy into an independent Asura Space for a deathmatch. If the enemy was stronger than the caster, they would regress to the same cultivation and age stage as the caster for a fair duel.

If the caster was killed, he would not die, but his cultivation would return to zero. If the enemy was killed, they would die, and their cultivation would be absorbed by the Asura Space, turning into dense killing intent that strengthened the Killing God Domain.

Besides the sixth spirit ring, the Evil God Right Leg Bone was also of the hundred-thousand-year level and came with two soul bone skills.

The first soul bone skill was called Evil God Force. It possessed time and space attributes, allowing movement through spatial jumps while reducing the passage of time during travel.

So long as his spiritual power could sense a location, he could use Evil God Force to instantly arrive there.

When activated with divine power, this soul bone skill could even move across planes.

The second soul bone skill was called: Evil God Kick. It possessed darkness and space attributes. When activated, an invisible and colorless Evil God Hook would hook the enemy back, after which the caster would kick the enemy into a black hole with his right leg, causing a massive explosion.

After the explosion within the black hole, the living could not heal their injuries, while the souls of the dead would be sealed within the Asura Space and become spirit forms of that space.

After comprehending the spirit ring and soul bone skills, Su Qi slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He had grown considerably taller, and while his appearance had not changed much, his features had become more refined and mature. He was even more handsome, with a trace of evil charm between his brows and eyes.

But this evil charm did not make him wicked. Instead, like the Shura God, he was both righteous and evil. A single domineering look from him was enough to make people tremble.

Just as Su Qi thought the Life-and-Death Arena space was about to be dispelled, a cold, majestic, low voice sounded within his spiritual world.

[Asura Second Trial: Within two years, you must hunt a soul beast possessing the Evil God Bloodline and obtain it as a spirit ring. The soul beast's cultivation must not be below fifty thousand years.]

[Trial participant Su Qi used his identity from his previous life to invite many experts to help search for soul beasts. In the end, he completed the hunt alone, passing the trial in merely one year. His performance was outstanding and exceeded expectations.]

[Soul power increased by three levels!]

[The sixth spirit ring has evolved into a Shura God Ring!]

[The Evil God Right Leg Bone has evolved into the Asura Legacy Soul Bone. Upon advancing into a god-level soul bone, it automatically gains a portion of the Evil God's divine power!]

[Affinity with the Shura God increased by 10%!]

[Affinity with the Evil God increased by 5%!]

[Obtained one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring!]

"What's going on? Another God-Bestowed Spirit Ring as a reward?"

After hearing the announcement of the Divine Trial rewards, Su Qi was utterly confused.

After checking the soul power within his body, he discovered that the Slaughter God Soul Core spinning in his dantian contained soul power that had already risen from level sixty-seven to level seventy. He could obtain his seventh spirit ring and advance once more!
