Douluo: Divine Fire Xuanyuan

Chapter 583 The Ninth Test: The Future of the Evil Soul Master
After the Holy Spirit Cult was destroyed, three beams of light descended from the sky and entered the bodies of Yuwen Tuo, Ling Luochen, and Yuwen Qiu.

They have already passed the eighth test of the gods.

Yuwen Tuo had already killed Long Xiaoyao and completed the six soul bones in his body. He had just used the power of the Evil Emperor to fill in his eighteen soul rings before completing the eighth trial.

Ling Luochen had already achieved the required Soul Rings and Soul Bones, but she had not yet killed a Super Douluo-level Evil Soul Master. She had just killed Zhongli Wu, which fulfilled all the conditions.

Qiu'er's assessment was the simplest; she was there to assist in the evaluation. If Yuwen Tuo passed, she would naturally pass as well.

"Yuwen Tuo, you have passed the eighth test of the Nine Tests of the God of Fire. Your affinity with the God of Fire has increased by 20%, now it is 115%."

Yuwen Tuo's affinity has exceeded the minimum requirement of 100% for the divine examination. The extra affinity will allow him to inherit more of the God of Fire's power when he inherits the divine position in the future.

"Ling Luochen, you have passed the eighth of the Nine Trials of the Water God. Your affinity with the Water God has increased by 15 percent, now it is 95 percent."

Ling Luochen's affinity is also quite good. Her assessment was simpler than Yuwen Tuo's, so her affinity was naturally lower. However, she is only 5% behind now. As long as she passes the ninth test, she will be fine.

"Yuwen Qiu, you have passed the eighth of the top-level eight trials. The reward is a 40% increase in soul power and an increase of 10,000 years in the age of all your soul rings. Since you have passed all eight trials, you will receive an additional 40% increase in soul power."

Qiu'er's reward was indeed the most direct. Her soul power was already at the mid-stage of level 98, and now it soared to the peak of level 98 in one go. Qiu'er even felt that she could break through to the Limit Douluo at any time. However, she was not in a hurry. She would find a place to go into seclusion and condense the Yin-Yang complementary three soul cores while advancing. Relying solely on the reward of the Divine Trial to reach the limit with only two soul cores would be a case of penny-wise and pound-foolish.

However, her spirit rings became even more powerful.

The Three-Eyed Golden Lion Martial Soul remained entirely red, but the Golden Dragon Martial Soul also became a top-tier configuration of six black and three red, which finally resembled the Martial Soul of the Ancestor of Power.

"The Ninth Trial of the God of Fire and the God of Water: Purify all demonic flames in the world, complete the Demonic Flame Heart Refinement, break through level 100, and complete the divine succession."

The divine marks on Yuwen Tuo and Ling Luochen's foreheads flashed again, announcing their final test, which was indeed a test of refining their hearts and breaking through to the hundredth level.

The God of Fire and the God of Water do not have a high priest or a great offerer to guide them and open the gate to the divine realm through sacrifice. Therefore, they cannot directly reach level 100 from the title of Douluo. They must cultivate step by step to level 100 and then complete the divine succession.

This is not difficult for Yuwen Tuo, who is not far from reaching level 100. Ling Luochen will probably need to spend some time in seclusion to cultivate. Fortunately, there is no time limit for this test. If there are no more battles in the future, he can just cultivate peacefully on the continent.

"Everyone, I, Yuwentuo, sincerely thank you all for helping me eradicate the Holy Spirit Cult. Thank you!" Yuwentuo bowed deeply to the crowd.

His smooth journey since leaving Shrek Academy is inseparable from the help of these elders and friends.

Now that he had avenged his family and all his resentment had dissipated, all that remained in his heart was gratitude towards them.

"Tuo'er, there's no need for thanks among family." Du Busi patted Yuwen Tuo's shoulder. "Besides, your help to our Body Sect has already exceeded our kindness to you. Today, you have avenged your great enemy and feel like you have been reborn. After we go back, how about I keep you company until we're drunk?"

Yuwen Tuo asked with a smile, "Uh, Sect Master, my master never allows me to drink alcohol. Can I drink tea instead?"

"Hey kid, you're already the strongest person on the continent, how come you're still acting like a fledgling? What man is afraid to drink?" Du Bu Si shouted, "Brothers, you all need to keep a close eye on Tuo'er today. Don't let him get away until he's completely drunk."

"Haha, I will obey the sect leader's order!"

Because they had won a great victory and eradicated the Holy Spirit Cult and the Evil Soul Masters, everyone was overjoyed. They flew away from the Demon Forest together and returned towards Mingdu.

However, they seem to have forgotten something.

"Hey, how about you just give me a quick death? I've lived a heroic life, how can I endure such humiliation?!" From among the countless ice blocks on the ground, a mouth with half a head was still speaking.

That was Mu En. Due to Ling Luochen's Absolute Zero Seal, he couldn't die, but he couldn't live either. His body was reduced to countless pieces of flesh scattered everywhere.

Half an hour later, as the power of death on Moon's body dissipated, he finally passed away.

This kind of death must be the most tragic one ever for a Limit Douluo. At least Long Xiaoyao and Ye Xishui died spectacularly in order to fight Yuwen Tuo.

This battle quickly shocked the mainland once again, and solidified his reputation as the nemesis of the Guigu School's evil soul masters.

The Holy Spirit Cult, which had dominated the continent for thousands of years and committed countless atrocities, was actually wiped out by them.

The Supreme Master, the Master, the Vice Master, the Twelve Offering Masters, the Eight Elders, and the Blue Silver Saintess.

All the high-ranking officials have been wiped out.

This laid a solid foundation for the future stability of the mainland.

On the night of celebration, Yuwen Tuo was not drunk by the guys from the Body Sect because he had a good younger sister to help him fend off the drinks.

No one expected that Qiu'er had such a high tolerance for alcohol. She got a large group of rough men from the Body Sect drunk, including Du Busi, but she remained sober and energetic. This soul beast's physique was indeed extraordinary.

The next day, Yuwen Tuo went to the palace to find Vina.

"Senior sister!"

They still addressed each other as senior and junior brothers, but Vina felt that using the title "Your Majesty" would only distance them from each other.

"Junior brother, you came to see me so early in the morning, is there something you need?" Vina asked with a smile.

"Senior sister, this is a new cultivation technique I created. Please take a look." Yuwen Tuo took out a booklet from his robes and handed it to Vina.

Vina glanced at the name of the cultivation technique in the book: "The Soul Cleansing Technique".

She tried to read it. Although this technique was not as profound as the Ghost Valley School's techniques, it was actually a cultivation method that could expel evil energy from a martial spirit.

Yuwen Tuo said, "Senior Sister, although the Holy Spirit Sect has been destroyed, evil soul masters will not actually disappear. As long as there are soul masters in this world, there is still a possibility of awakening an evil martial soul. But in fact, Long Xiaoyao is right. Many evil soul masters are evil soul masters out of necessity. I hope that after you take over, you can change this situation. For those who have become evil soul masters, my idea remains the same: eradicate evil completely. But for those who only have evil martial souls and have not yet committed evil, they should be judged in a different way."

"Junior brother, what do you think is the best way to judge this?" Vina asked.

"It's not about what their martial soul is, but what they do with it. Even if someone possesses the most righteous martial soul, if they use it for evil, they are still an evil soul master. Conversely, even if someone possesses the most evil martial soul, as long as they behave themselves, they are still a proper soul master," Yuwen Tuo said. "The evil attribute is actually just an attribute similar to wind, fire, and thunder. If it can be controlled, it's fine to continue cultivating it. But if someone is inherently good but loses control due to their martial soul, then Senior Sister, you should have them practice the technique I created to expel the evil energy from their martial soul."

"We've already dealt with all the previous evil spirit masters. As for those who haven't yet become evil spirit masters, we should give them another chance!"

“Junior brother, it seems that your senior sister needs to re-evaluate you. I used to think that you were someone who only cared about grudges, but I never expected that you could say such things today. You have truly impressed me.” Vina said sincerely, “On behalf of the people of my Heavenly Soul Empire, I thank you for your generous gift, junior brother.”

With Vina's political acumen, she naturally understood the significance of Yuwen Tuo's technique. Although it wouldn't completely eradicate the birth of evil soul masters, it could significantly reduce their numbers. It would be absolutely impossible for evil soul masters to develop into a sect like the Holy Spirit Cult again.

Yuwen Tuo smiled slightly, "Then you've misjudged me again, Senior Sister. I am still me, the Yuwen Tuo who only has gratitude and hatred in his heart. The reason I did this is simply because I hate evil soul masters so much that I hope to wipe them out from the root."

“Judging by actions, not intentions, even if one achieves great things through selfish motives, it’s not necessarily a bad thing,” Vina said with a smile. Regardless of what Yuwen Tuo was thinking, he had indeed helped many people. If he had been born a few decades earlier, Scorpion Tiger Douluo, Crow Douluo, Evil Shield Douluo, and others probably wouldn’t have joined the Holy Spirit Cult.
