Xuan Ming took a deep breath, the air he inhaled seemed to carry Thunderclap energy, and his eyes suddenly burst forth with an even more intense light!
Instead of stopping, he exerted even more force again!
boom--!
The white jade steps beneath his feet groaned under the weight, and he, like a primordial Ferocious Beast freed from its shackles, transformed into a streak of light once more, charging towards even greater heights!
He actually... started running again!
"!!!!"
This time, even the Sea Dragon Douluo, the second strongest on Sea God Island, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets!
Level 333! He can even accelerate?! How is that possible?!
The Sea Maiden Douluo completely covered her mouth, her sky-blue eyes filled with horror and confusion, as if she were wondering if she was hallucinating.
Sea Horse Douluo, Sea Spear Douluo, and others were as if struck by lightning, their bodies stiffening and their thoughts completely frozen.
On the steps, Xuan Ming's figure was moving so fast that it was almost invisible. Only a stream of red and blue light could be seen, going against the destructive golden tide and fiercely moving upwards!
Level 350! Level 400! Level 450!
The pressure had risen to a terrifying level beyond description! The Sea God's Light there was no longer light, but had transformed into a nearly liquid, incredibly heavy, and Destruction golden ocean!
The ice and fire shield around Xuan Ming's body began to fluctuate violently, as if it might shatter at any moment. Fine cracks began to appear on his skin, and blood kept seeping out, turning him into a blood-soaked figure.
But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter!
This extreme pressure, this feeling of being at odds with the entire world, was frantically stimulating the dormant Blood Spear within him!
Buzz--!
The Blood Spear emitted an excited buzz within his body, and the extremely ferocious killing intent seemed to be ignited. Instead of backfiring, it transformed into a violent force, forcibly merging with the power of the Ice and Fire Dragon Essence to jointly resist the external pressure!
Fight fire with fire! Resist Destruction with ferocity!
Level 500!
Xuan Ming defiantly broke through the terrifying height of level 500!
The space around him was completely distorted and shattered, and golden liquid energy swirled around him like a storm, frantically tearing at his body and soul!
Upon reaching this point, he could no longer maintain his running posture.
His speed dropped drastically, and every step became incredibly difficult, as if he were trekking through solidified diamond. His bones made a teeth-grinding creaking sound, as if they were about to shatter completely at any moment.
But he kept striving upwards!
Step by step, slowly, but with unwavering determination!
Level 550! Level 600!
Finally, on the 666th step, Xuan Ming stopped again.
The pressure here is terrifying beyond description.
He slowly raised his head, and on his blood-stained face, his icy blue eyes shone with an astonishing light, as if flames were burning within them.
Buzz--!
A dark red light suddenly condensed in his palm, and a ferocious Blood Spear, seemingly forged from solidified blood, appeared out of thin air!
The moment the Blood Spear appeared, the surrounding raging golden liquid energy seemed to be stimulated, becoming even more turbulent!
The sacred and vast Sea God's Light seemed to have encountered its natural enemy, frantically attacking and suppressing the violent and deathly aura emanating from the Blood Spear!
Sizzle sizzle sizzle--!
The dark red, malevolent aura clashed violently with the golden, sacred light, creating a chilling sound.
Xuan Ming could clearly feel that the Sea God's Light had a strong suppressive and purifying effect on the chaotic and violent origin of the Blood Spear.
The omnipresent divine pressure, like countless fine needles, pierced into the Blood Spear, impacting the chaotic pseudo-soul within, formed from fragments of endless slaughter, causing it to emit painful and furious howls.
From the moment he stepped onto the Nine Heavens Mysterious Steps and sensed the targeted, irrational pressure, he realized something was wrong.
His First Trial was clearly " Reshape the Will," which had nothing to do with climbing the stairs, so why was he experiencing such a clear and intense suppression from the Sea God's Light?
Sure enough... it was Sea God Poseidon, who secretly "added something" to his life.
This vast and pure Sea God's Light, this oppressive aura filled with divine purification power, is the best external force to suppress, temper, and even purify the ferocious aura of the Blood Spear!
The True Purpose of the First Trial in Chapter 314
Just as Xuan Ming gripped the Blood Spear and was channeling the Sea God's Light to strike the chaotic will within it, a magnificent red figure appeared silently beside him.
It was none other than Poseidon, the Sea God Douluo.
She did not undergo the test, so she was naturally not affected by the suppression of the Sea God's Light.
She stood quietly amidst the terrifying energy surge powerful enough to tear apart Titled Douluo, radiating a gentle yet vast aura that completely shielded her from external pressure.
As she watched Xuan Ming, covered in blood and with his bones on the verge of shattering, still gripping the restless Blood Spear and frantically tempering his Martial Soul with the Sea God's Light, a subtle ripple involuntarily appeared in her deep, world-weary eyes.
She had once seen someone so powerful, so determined, so... willing to pay any price to control power and defy fate.
Moreover, that person was just like Xuan Ming before him... cold, stubborn, and unromantic, seemingly only concerned with goals and power.
Distant memories flooded her mind like a tide, causing a moment of confusion and complexity to appear in Bo Saixi's eyes.
But she quickly regained her composure, her gaze returning to calm as she looked at the Blood Spear in Xuan Ming's hand, which trembled violently under the impact of the sacred golden light and emitted a defiant roar. She spoke slowly, her ethereal voice piercing through the roar of energy, " The Sea God's Light originates from the faith of all people, containing the power of purification and rebirth. It has miraculous effects on tempering Martial Soul, stabilizing foundations, and cleansing impurities."
Her tone was calm, as if she were merely stating a fact, but the implied reminder and guidance were self-evident.
"But haste makes waste. Excessive rigidity leads to breakage. The pressure at level 666 is beyond the capacity of ordinary people. If you explode and die here, all our efforts will be in vain."
Upon hearing this, Xuan Ming struggled to raise his head. His blood-stained face was expressionless, but his icy blue eyes remained terrifyingly calm.
He glanced at Bo Saixi, said nothing, and simply nodded slowly.
He naturally understood this principle.
However, now is not the time to stop.
The suppressive and tempering effect of the Sea God's Light on the Blood Spear is most pronounced at the peak of the pressure!
Retreating now would be safe, but the hope of completing the almost impossible " Reshape the Will " within three months would become even more remote.
He needs more pressure! He needs a more thorough tempering!
Bo Saixi, seeing the unwavering resolve in his eyes, understood, sighed softly, and said no more.
She knew that trying to dissuade her was useless.
Just when Bo Saixi thought Xuan Ming would continue to fight desperately—
Buzz--!
An indescribable, boundless dragon might, seemingly emanating from the primordial era, suddenly erupted from Xuan Ming's body!
The Ice and Fire Dragon Origin Head Crown, a striking blend of red and blue, suddenly shone with a dazzling light! The dragon patterns seemed to come alive, emitting a deep and ancient dragon roar!
Immediately afterwards, a vast and terrifying energy, far exceeding his own Soul Power Level, erupted from the deepest part of his bones like a dormant volcano!
That's... the energy of the dragon bones! It's the primordial dragon power sealed within him by the two great dragon kings of ice and fire!
Now that things have come to this, facing this almost impossible First Trial, facing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for tempering, he has no need to hide anything anymore!
"Roar--!!!"
A deep roar, seemingly not of human origin and mixed with the sound of a dragon, burst forth from Xuan Ming's throat!
His Soul Power surged wildly, as if he were on a rocket!
Level 71, Level 75, Level 80, Level 85...
To Bo Saixi's astonishment, Xuan Ming's Soul Power level broke through the barrier of the Soul Douluo at an unbelievable speed, and its momentum showed no signs of slowing down, ultimately settling at an astonishing height—
Level 90!
A surge of Soul Power at the level of Titled Douluo swept outwards from him like a storm!
Although this power did not truly belong to him, but was forcibly enhanced by the energy of the dragon bone, and was full of instability and instability, its vastness and grandeur were indeed at the level of Titled Douluo!
"This... this is?!" Bo Saixi could no longer remain calm; her beautiful face was filled with disbelief!
She could clearly sense that it was not a simple burst of Soul Power, but a deeper, terrifying power originating from the very source of her bloodline and bones!
That ancient, majestic dragon's might, that domineering aura that seemed capable of tearing the heavens apart... This young man actually possesses such terrifying power hidden within him?!
Xuan Ming's blood-stained black robes fluttered and rustled even without wind. The Ice and Fire Dragon Origin Head Crown on his head shone brightly, and his body was surrounded by a red and blue energy storm, as if Dragon God had descended to earth!
He suddenly raised his head, and a dragon's shadow seemed to hover in his icy blue eyes. He didn't linger, and didn't even glance at Bo Saixi again. Instead, he turned around abruptly and launched an attack on the higher, more devastatingly powerful staircase!
boom--!
His figure transformed into a raging red and blue dragon, defying the golden tide that was powerful enough to crush Titled Douluo, and surged upwards!
Level 670! Level 700! Level 750!
Bo Saixi stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the figure with the imperial crown on his head, rushing towards the dead end like a madman.
After level 700! The pressure there has risen to a terrifying level that cannot be described in words! It is an absolute domain capable of easily crushing ordinary Titled Douluo into dust in an instant!
Even with the forced support of the dragon bone energy, Xuan Ming's body began to reach its limit!
Pfft--!
His entire body was covered in ruptured blood vessels, and blood gushed out from countless wounds like a fountain, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure!
The dormant Black Dragon Martial Soul within him seemed to be completely enraged by this extreme threat of death, unleashing a furious roar!
roar--!
Dark dragon scale patterns uncontrollably appeared on his body, his fingernails became sharp and black, his arms swelled up, revealing the outline of dragon scales, and even his forehead seemed to have hard objects about to break through his skin!
Berserk Transformation! Dragon Transformation!
On the verge of death, the most primal Dragon Clan bloodline within him was fully activated, initiating an instinctive resistance and transformation!
But the glint of madness and composure in his eyes remained undiminished!
Level 800!
The moment he boldly stepped onto the eight hundredth step!
Click--!!!
A chilling, rapid cracking sound erupted from within his body!
The terrifying pressure finally exceeded the limits his body could withstand! At that moment, large areas of his bones shattered!
"Ugh--!" Xuan Ming finally couldn't help but let out a painful groan, his body suddenly staggering and almost falling to his knees.
But at this critical moment!
Another powerful force within him was activated—an incomparably vast Life energy emanating from the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone!
A soft, azure light instantly enveloped his entire body; the life-giving and restorative energy surged wildly into his shattered bones, torn muscles, and damaged blood vessels...
Destruction and rebirth formed a fierce and terrifying tug-of-war within this body!
The Sea God's Light relentlessly destroyed and crushed his body, while the power of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone desperately repaired and reshaped his form!
This kept him in a terrible state of extreme pain, yet he was unable to fall into a coma, constantly teetering on the brink of collapse!
But high pressure has its advantages!
Under the impact of such extreme Destruction power, the Blood Spear on his knee reacted with unprecedented intensity!
Buzzing! Crazy buzzing!
The Blood Spear trembled violently, as if trying to break free from his control!
Within the spear, the chaotic pseudo-soul formed from endless slaughter and resentment seemed to sense a fatal threat, letting out a desperate and frenzied roar. All the ferocity, tyranny, and murderous evil thoughts erupted like a geyser, transforming into a tangible black-red current of energy that frantically backfired on Xuan Ming's body and soul!
"Hmph!" Xuan Ming grunted, more blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
A chilling, deathly white Divine Slaughter's Domain! An invisible, colorless Colorless Domain! And the raging Dragon Might Domain, interwoven with ice and fire, inherent in the Ice and Fire Dragon Origin Head Crown!
At this moment, he forcibly merged the power of the three domains, transforming it into an even more bizarre and domineering force that seemed capable of suppressing everything, and slammed down on the rampaging Blood Spear!
