Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 453 The Artifact Recognizes Its Owner
On the other side, Ling Luochen was not as relaxed as Qiu'er.

The Water God's Scepter is frantically devouring the extreme ice within her body. Her test is actually to use her own extreme ice to fight against the water element in the scepter.

If it weren't for the top-tier cultivation techniques taught to her by Yuwen Tuo, which enabled her to master excellent soul power control and achieve dual soul cores when she became a Title Douluo, with her internal power flowing endlessly, she probably wouldn't have had any hope of passing the assessment.

"Is this the power of the Water God? It's amazing! I feel like all the ice in my body is being absorbed." Ling Luochen said with difficulty.

"Luo Chen, you can't give up." Just then, blue ice patterns suddenly appeared on Ling Luo Chen's hands, extending all the way to her shoulders, as if both her arms were wrapped in icy blue vines.

This is the power of the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, and not only that, it also incorporates something else.

"That's right, it's the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus!" Ling Luochen recalled the immortal herb she had consumed. Of course, it was impossible to refine the entire herb at once, given its extraordinary medicinal properties. In fact, over the years, she had been working to integrate the medicinal power of the herb into her flesh and blood as much as possible.

At this moment, with the power of the Water God's Scepter, it seems that he is about to reach the state of perfection.

"Luo Chen, the medicinal power of the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus and my Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass seems to have fused within your body. Do you remember? The two 100,000-year-old soul bones on your body possess the same soul skill. Give it a try," the Eight-Cornered Profound Ice Grass reminded him.

"The same soul skill is correct!" Ling Luochen suddenly realized something.

The 100,000-year-old snow lotus torso bone and the 100,000-year-old octagonal ice grass leg bone, both plant-type soul bones, share the same soul skill: ice attribute enhancement.

Back when she wasn't yet at the pinnacle of ice, she could use any piece of soul bone to temporarily elevate her ice to the level of pinnacle ice.
She is already at the pinnacle of ice, and if she uses these two ice attribute amplifications consecutively, combined with the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs, the Eight-Cornered Ice Grass and the Ice Crystal Snow Lotus, a miracle might occur.

"Snow Lotus, Eight-Cornered Ice Grass, Soul Bone Skill - Double Ice Amplification!"

Ling Luochen's legs and brow simultaneously emitted a pale blue icy light. Normally, when she used the Ultimate Ice, only her hair would turn snow-white.

But at this moment, her entire body seemed to be draped in a layer of ice gauze, beautiful and exquisite. Apart from her different appearance, her temperament was just like that of the Snow Empress.

"Oh, amazing! This girl, with the help of the Water God's Scepter and the power of the double limit ice amplification, has completely refined the medicinal effects of the two immortal herbs. Her ultimate ice realm seems to be no less than mine. Before level ninety-eight, this girl will have no more bottlenecks!" the Ice Emperor exclaimed.

"No, it's not just that. Although it was only for that brief moment of eruption, in that less than a second, I truly felt an extreme ice that was very close to my own! It seems that those two peerless immortal herbs have truly become the foundation for her to become a god," said the Snow Emperor.

She believed that Ling Luochen at this moment would definitely gain the approval of the Water God's Scepter.

At that time, she will have internally consumed immortal herbs, externally wielded divine artifacts, possessed ultimate ice and supreme divine skills, and, with years of diligent cultivation without ever slacking off, her foundation will be solid enough to reach the standard of becoming a god.

Finally, Yuwen Tuo, who was right in the middle, had the most difficult sword-drawing test, but because he was so strong and had such a deep foundation, he ended up having the easiest test.

When he channeled his soul power, the fiery red light gradually emerged from the gap between the scabbard and the blade.

Sword-type divine weapons are indeed very suitable for Yuwen Tuo.

Both being divine swords, Tang Chen actually had to try several times to draw the Asura Sword, and he hadn't fully gained the sword's approval. This was because Tang Chen originally used a hammer, which is a blunt weapon and not very compatible with a sharp weapon like a sword. If the Asura God hadn't been unable to find anything better, he wouldn't have chosen Tang Chen.

But Yuwen Tuo was different. He was a master swordsman, and the compatibility between him and the Fire God Sword was obviously very high. Moreover, his fire attribute contained both extreme purity and extreme strength. The Fire God Sword could not absorb it. On the contrary, because of the Divine Fire Clone Technique, the divine fire inside the Fire God Sword was gradually refined by this modified technique of Yuwen Tuo.

"Come out!" Yuwen Tuo roared, unleashing his full soul power. With a 'whoosh', the sword and scabbard finally separated completely.

Centered on the alternate dimension of the Divine Fire Purgatory, the sky within a radius of a thousand miles in the far north turned fiery red at this moment, as if blood clouds covered the sky.

"Rise!" Ling Luochen followed immediately. Now, the Water God's Scepter was covered in ice, and Ling Luochen's ice, which was infinitely close to absolute zero, had the advantage.

Compared to Tang San back then, the two of them have one advantage.

That is, they are more approachable.

The two men channeled their spiritual energy into the divine mark on their foreheads, transforming it into the light of the fire god and the water god, which they then poured into the two divine artifacts before them. The more divine light they poured in, the easier it would be for the artifacts to recognize them.

Soon, Ling Luochen also pulled out the Water God's Scepter.

Qiu'er stood to the side, her face full of resentment. The artifact she had pulled was clearly the weakest of the lower-level artifacts, yet it was still her last one.

With eyes blazing with the savage aura of a golden dragon, Qiu'er roared, "Come out here!"

The short spear was slowly rising under Qiu'er's efforts. Meanwhile, the blood flowing from her palm covered the ever-growing number of fiery divine runes, transforming them into a mixed golden-red light.

Finally, the Wildfire Spear completely detached from the boulder. In that instant, Qiu'er suddenly felt that the spear in her hand was much lighter and became extremely easy to handle, just like the Golden Dragon Spear.

"Yuwen Qiu has passed the seventh of the top-level eight trials. All his spirit rings have increased by five thousand years, and his spirit power has increased by one level!"

Qiu'er's skill level reached level 95 in one go. As expected of a top-level assessment, the Black-level assessment only rewards Title Douluo with a few percent of their soul power, while she directly increased her level.

This is only the seventh test. Once she passes all eight tests, her skill level and the age of her spirit rings will likely see an even greater increase.

"Yuwen Tuo, you have passed the seventh of the Nine Trials of the God of Fire. Your affinity with the God of Fire has increased by 15 percent, now it is 95 percent."

"Ling Luochen, you have passed the seventh of the Nine Trials of the Water God. Your affinity with the Water God has increased by 10%, now reaching 80%."

The two people's affinity increased at different rates, which is probably due to the difference in the difficulty of the divine test and the level of the artifact.

The Fire God's Sword is a superior divine artifact, while the Water God's Scepter is only of medium grade.

However, an 80% affinity rate after seven tests is enough. There are still two tests left, and it shouldn't be difficult for Ling Luochen to raise it to 100%.
