Four Trials Combined and Passed
The soul and obsession may also be related.
After this conversation, the speed at which the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord's soul dissipated visibly accelerated, and it seemed that it wouldn't be long before it did.
This battle also served as a reminder to Wang Xingyu that one should never be careless.
He knew he had cheated, Soul Battlefield was powerful, but he never expected that the Soul Saint's soul, after obtaining the Martial Soul Avatar, could transform into the corresponding Martial Soul.
Without modern knowledge, we would have truly capsized in the gutter today.
Wang Xingyu opened his eyes, and what came into view were inscriptions emitting a blue light.
"Slippery, slippery," Big Yellow licked his face.
He sat up, rubbing his forehead with his hand, and after a moment of clarity, he realized he was inside the Yue Shen Tower.
"Xingyu!" Xiao Wu called out, immediately coming over to hand him a water pouch. "You're awake! How are you?"
Wang Xingyu took the drink and sipped it. "Everything went smoothly. I've already killed the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord. I was unconscious for a few days?"
"Two days."
Snap, snap, snap.
Applause broke out from the side.
"As expected of the successor of another god's high priest, I didn't expect you to have killed the strongest target so soon after the assessment began. I even tried to advise you against it, but it seems I was just naive." The white-robed youth smiled helplessly.
"Exactly, you're so unsophisticated. You've participated in other God Trial, how can you not have any skills?" Silver Moon Wolf Emperor chimed in.
"Sigh, you damn dog, I think you tried to persuade me like that too."
"But didn't I stop trying to persuade them and even help them later?"
"So, doesn't helping someone raise suspicion of cheating?"
The young man in white and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor started arguing again as they were talking.
This time, after only a few words, the man and the wolf stopped at the same time and looked up at the night sky.
Wang Xingyu and Xiao Wu were puzzled, so they looked up as well, but there was nothing in the air.
The next second, the white-robed youth and the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor simultaneously unleashed their Soul Power!
Xiao Wu reacted quickly and caught Big Yellow, making sure it wouldn't be blown away again.
A moment later, both the man and the wolf simultaneously withdrew their Soul Power.
"Senior, what happened?" Xiao Wu asked curiously.
"Nothing much," the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor replied, "Just a human with a divine aura came here."
"Yes. This person is quite strong, at Level 99 just like me. It must have been the Yue Shen Nine Trials triggered this phenomenon, and he came to investigate. However, he has already been driven away by our presence," the white-robed youth added.
Level 99, divine aura.
Wang Xingyu didn't need to guess to know that it was a Qian Family, Qian Daoliu.
Since the person has already been driven away, everything is fine.
After the interlude, the group returned to the topic of the Yue Shen Assessment.
"Xingyu, this time it's taken so long, is it because the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord is having a hard time?"
"Hmm. His soul can transform into Lion-Bodied Scorpion-Tailed Beast, which is his Martial Soul. I estimate that after obtaining the Martial Soul Avatar, his soul will also change accordingly." Wang Xingyu smiled. "It's alright, it just takes a little more time."
The remaining targets are: the 50,000-year-old Dark Moon Demon Wolf King and its pack, and the 40,000-year-old Death Worm.
The combined strength of the three might not be weaker than that of the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord.
However, one thing is certain: the cultivation speed of Soul Beast is generally slower than that of humans, so there's no need to worry about them reaching the level of a 70,000-year Soul Douluo in a year.
This is also why Wang Xingyu acted so quickly; he was afraid that the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord would break through to the Soul Douluo.
The two can either focus on their training for a year and deal with the two Soul Beast at the end, or they can act sooner.
I wonder how the Soul Battlefield fares against Soul Beast.
Anyway, even if it ends early, the Moonlight Immersion will still last for a year, so it's a win-win situation.
The subsequent progress was smoother than expected.
The two first cultivated for two weeks, reducing the wariness of the Dark Moon Demon Wolf and the Death Worm.
Two weeks later, the two Soul Beast had separated.
It seems they are not getting along well after losing their owner.
When the opportunity presented itself, the two naturally didn't hesitate. So, they first found the 40,000-year-old Death Worm and planned to take it down one by one.
To deal with such a large Soul Beast, Xiao Wu, just like when she fought Gu Kesi, crawled into the belly of the Death Worm and broke it open from the inside.
Wang Xingyu's Blue Silver Life Domain constantly weakened the Death Worm's Soul Power and vitality, while also summoning Blue Silver Grass to harass its escape.
Under relentless attacks, the Death Worm did not last long.
With the Death Worm dealt with, only the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King and his pack remain.
To prevent the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King from escaping after observing the Death Worm's demise, the two cultivated inside the Yue Shen Tower to replenish their depleted Soul Power. They then immediately prepared to use the same tactic as before, leading the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor to kill the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King using the Soul Battlefield.
With everything ready, Wang Xingyu absorbed the Soul Power. The Dark Moon Demon Wolf King's perception was not as strong as that of the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord, and the Blue Silver Life Domain successfully approached.
Soul Battlefield, activate!
The moment they entered the Soul Battlefield, Xiao Wu and Wang Xingyu immediately fled, just like before, avoiding any unnecessary kills.
Inside the Soul Battlefield, the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King's appearance remained largely unchanged, and its power was even greater than that of the Lion-Bodied Scorpion-Tailed Beast transformed from the Blood-Devouring Demon Lord. Unfortunately, since Soul Power could not be used within the Soul Battlefield, its power was not significantly greater.
Under Wang Xingyu's relentless barrage, they were mercilessly crushed.
While the souls of Soul Beast are indeed stronger than those of humans, their weaknesses are also obvious: their Soul Beast are consumed much faster.
After defeating the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King, Wang Xingyu opened his eyes; only half a day had passed in reality.
With the defeat of the Dark Moon Demon Wolf King, the four trials of the Yue Shen were successfully combined into one.
A majestic female voice suddenly rang out within the tower. "The Yue Shen's four trials have been combined into one, and you have passed. Although you relied on external forces to enhance your Soul Power by seven levels, you were able to slay the strongest enemy at the very beginning of the trial. Considering that you did not rely on external forces much, the two factors have balanced out."
Pale pink moonlight descended from the sky, enveloping Xiao Wu completely. "Xiao Wu, the examiner, has received a reward: her Soul Power has increased by two levels, and her Yue Shen Affinity has increased by 25%. Her current affinity is 25%."
Supporter Wang Xingyu fulfilled the support reward requirements, playing a crucial role in at least one of the six trials. The reward is retained, and he will receive a God-given Soul Ring upon breakthrough.
Xiao Wu's current Soul Power Level has reached level 64, which is close to Level 65.
"Yue Shen Affinity..." Xiao Wu murmured the phrase to herself.
This was the second time she had heard it. The first time was at the beginning, when the young man in white said that repeatedly participating in the God Trial would reduce the rewards, but not the affinity.
She felt the new life force within her body; it was peculiar, comfortable, and powerful.
"Fortunately, it seems that this kind of minor assistance can be offset by additional factors. Damn dog, wipe your drool." The young man in white glanced to his side.
Wang Xingyu followed his gaze.
A glistening drop of liquid actually clung to the corner of the Silver Moon Wolf Emperor's mouth, dripping onto the stone floor of the Yue Shen Tower.
The Silver Moon Wolf Emperor sighed deeply, "Ah, if only I could participate too."
It raised its white-furred wolf head, facing the moon outside the cave at the top of the tower, and howled—
