Douluo's main body is respected

Chapter 262 God Shura

Faced with the sea god's question, Yang Xiong knew he had no way out. Since the sea god had brought him here, he must know everything about him.

"Lord Poseidon, I have spent my life pursuing the goal of reaching level 100 and becoming a god. I have repeatedly broken through my own limits in order to become the strongest person in the world, and to become the strongest god in the world."

"Only the Sea God has the inheritance in the entire Douluo Continent, so I went through all sorts of hardships to come to Sea God Island and to complete your test, hoping to become stronger."

The Sea God's expression changed: "Do you know what the consequences are for lying to the gods? You clearly already possess a trace of the Asura God's divine power, so why did you come to my Sea God Island?"

Yang Xiong quickly said, "Lord Sea God, I don't know what you mean by that. Although I have been to the City of Slaughter, I did not obtain the inheritance of the Asura God, nor did the Asura God subject me to any divine test."

"Since no one is here to pass on their legacy to me, what's wrong with me coming to Seagod Island? With my efforts, my strength, and my talent, am I not allowed to inherit the Seagod's divine position?"

The Sea God said, "Besides pursuing godhood at level 100, don't you have any other pursuits? Don't you have any other beliefs?"

"The sea reveres me, and the land is ruled by the Angel God. The power of the gods far surpasses that of mortals. Even your Limit Douluo are like ants in the eyes of the gods. When you pursue the level 100 True God, won't you also pursue even higher power?"

Upon hearing the Sea God's words, Yang Xiong smiled slightly: "Lord Sea God, are you happy in the realm of gods? Are you happy after you became a god?"

The sea god's expression changed slightly upon hearing Yang Xiong's words. If these ten thousand years hadn't been so long and so boring, why would he have wanted to pass on his divine position?

"Yang Xiong, do you only see happiness and pain? Don't you feel any responsibility?"

Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "What is responsibility? My family loves me, my sect protects my growth, and I repay my sect. That is responsibility in my eyes."

"I have no ambition to rule the world, much less the desire to rule the world forever. I would rather live freely, without being bound or oppressed by anyone."

“I have already fought with Qian Renxue, who is the descendant of the Angel God. I believe that her talent, perseverance, determination, and courage are all no less than hers. But just because she is a descendant of the Angel God, just because she is the inheritor of the Angel God, am I to be content to be ruled by the Angel God for generations to come?”

“Lord Sea God, although you are far away in the God Realm, you should be aware of the situation on the continent. The Angel God’s successor should be receiving the inheritance. In a few years, the Angel God will reappear on the Douluo Continent. I want to compete with her and prove that I can become stronger through hard training, even stronger than the gods.”

"This is why I came to Poseidon Island. I hope to become stronger and break free from the shackles of fate with my own strength."

"Furthermore, the Spirit Hall is ambitious. They don't just want to rule the entire Douluo Continent and influence the rule of the entire ocean. I think that with Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue's ambitions, they will make a move on Seagod Island sooner or later. No matter how strong Seagod Douluo Poseidon is, he can't possibly deal with a level 100 expert."

Upon hearing this, Poseidon's face turned cold: "The successor of the Angel God is indeed receiving the inheritance. Is this your purpose in coming to Poseidon Island?"

Even the Sea God was a little suspicious at this moment. Yang Xiong didn't seem to be lying. He had indeed come to Sea God Island to pursue the Sea God's inheritance, but he still felt that something was not right.

The Sea God initially intended to subject Yang Xiong to the Nine Trials of the Sea God. Given Yang Xiong's aptitude and strength, reaching level 100 and becoming a god wouldn't be that difficult, and he might even become incredibly powerful in the future.

However, Yang Xiong already possessed a trace of the Asura God's divine power, and his martial soul had even begun to evolve towards the Asura God. The top-level nine trials that had descended upon him could not be passed down, and he could not even develop towards the Sea God through absorbing soul rings.

Yang Xiong's eyes showed unwavering determination: "Becoming a god is the goal I have pursued throughout my life. No matter how difficult the road ahead may be, I must become a god. I must become the strongest person in the world."

The Sea God was taken aback by Yang Xiong's words, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Then what do you think of the God of Asura? I think the God of Asura would be willing to bestow his inheritance upon you."

Yang Xiong shook his head: "I don't know what the Asura God is like. I've been to the City of Slaughter, and my martial soul even evolved in the direction of Asura, but I never felt the will of the Asura God's inheritance."

The Sea God asked, "Yang Xiong, do you know what an Asura is?"

Yang Xiong said solemnly, “I have traversed the Hell Road of the Slaughter City and visited the Blood River of the Slaughter City. In my eyes, the Asura God, who proves his Dao through killing, is the most just and orderly person in the world.”

"There are countless living beings in the world. Humans and soul beasts attack each other. Even among humans, there are different selfish desires and different people have different ambitions. Only extreme killing and extreme power can truly create order. And the end of Asura should be order."

Before the sea god could say anything more, a blood-red light flashed in the sky, and a blood-red figure appeared in the sea god's temple.

This person's eyes remained completely devoid of any sign of life, and whether he looked at Yang Xiong or the Sea God, his thoughts seemed utterly unmoved.

In particular, this person exuded an endless killing aura, which seemed to originate from the same source as Yang Xiong's killing domain, but was many times more powerful.

Yang Xiong was also startled, realizing that the figure was probably the God of Asura. He never expected that the God of Asura would come to this Sea God Temple.

Yang Xiong hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Asura God." Asura God glanced at Yang Xiong, and the entire Sea God Palace instantly changed. The originally vast and boundless power of the ocean turned the entire palace blood red and was filled with endless killing intent. Even with Yang Xiong's strength, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The Asura God spoke without any emotion: "Yang Xiong, you are clever enough to come to Seagod Island. Do you know that coming to Seagod Island as the successor of the Asura God is a disgrace to me, the Asura God?"

Yang Xiong said, "Lord Asura God, I have not received any information from you, nor do I know that I am the successor of the Asura God. Please forgive me."

The Asura God said, "Do you know that the Asura God is one of the strongest gods in the God Realm, and also the enforcer of the God Realm? No accidents are allowed. Everything must follow the rules and order, and even I am no exception."

Yang Xiong gritted his teeth: "Sir, what are rules? What is order? Can't rules be changed if there's a problem? Does the so-called order mean that countless people in the Douluo Continent must die? Does it mean that we only need to abandon our own family and friends?"

The Asura God glanced at Yang Xiong, who had been holding on, but suddenly felt as if his entire body was being completely suppressed, and even his soul was about to be crushed.

"How dare you, Yang Xiong! In your eyes, which is more important, becoming a god or your family and friends?"

"You should know that gods can live for thousands of years, but your relatives and friends cannot become gods. You will have to watch them fall one by one, decay one by one, and eventually become all alone."

A hint of resentment flashed in Yang Xiong's eyes: "No matter how weak my relatives and friends are, they are far superior to ten thousand people in the world in my eyes. I would never make such a choice. I would only fight my way out."

The God of Asura rarely showed a hint of expression: "Oh, Yang Xiong, then I'd like to ask you, how do you view the Spirit Hall's actions of slaughtering various sects and about to unify the world?"

Yang Xiong smiled slightly: "I never thought the Spirit Hall did anything wrong. Their desire to unify the world is right. Perhaps it would be better for the people and the spirit masters of the world."

"However, I will absolutely not allow the Spirit Hall to slaughter my family and friends. There is only one principle in this world: the strong are respected."

"Since I have chosen the name Yang Xiong and my stance is different from that of the Spirit Hall, I must fight against the Spirit Hall. I must prove myself to the world and create an ideal world, a world centered on order."

After a moment of silence, the Asura God spoke: "Yang Xiong, I am the Asura God, one of the three great enforcers of the God Realm. Are you willing to inherit my position as the Asura God?"

Yang Xiong was overjoyed: "Thank you, Lord Asura God. I will definitely inherit your divine position, make Asura God resound throughout the world, and make Asura God the strongest god in the world."

The Asura God snorted coldly: "Do you know that as the God of Slaughter, the difficulty of my succession is far greater than that of the Sea God's test? If you want to inherit my divine position, you must be prepared to die, and you may even perish at any time."

Yang Xiong gritted his teeth: "Lord Asura God, I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of dying a pathetic death. In my eyes, life is endless and the battle never ends."

Upon hearing this, the Asura God pointed at Yang Xiong from afar, and a red light seemed to surge into Yang Xiong's body.

Before Yang Xiong could react, the red light vanished instantly, and even the Asura God himself disappeared without a trace, leaving only the Sea God sitting alone on the scene.

A hint of hesitation appeared in Poseidon's eyes before he finally spoke: "Yang Xiong, now that you have come to my Poseidon Island and accepted my Poseidon Island's Crimson Trial, I hope you will not disappoint me in this final test. If you fail to complete it, even if you are the inheritor of the Asura God, you will not escape death."

As the Sea God finished speaking, the entire Sea God Temple trembled. Yang Xiong felt dizzy and disoriented. When he regained his senses, he was back on Sea God Island.

At the same time, a voice echoed in Yang Xiong's mind.

"Yang Xiong, the eighth of the top eight trials, is to find the inheritor of the Sea God and assist him in completing the Sea God's inheritance. The time limit is twenty years. Failure to pass the trial results in death."

Before Yang Xiong could react, he felt as if his mind was about to explode. The Heart of the Sea God, which had been integrated into the Trident of the Sea God, broke away again and returned to Yang Xiong's hand.

At the same time, the red eight-pointed star between his eyebrows suddenly disappeared in an instant, turning into a blood-red longsword.

Ning Rongrong and Shui Bing'er looked at Yang Xiong with great concern: "Little Bear, are you alright? There was a blue light just now, and you disappeared completely. It scared us to death."

Yang Xiong comforted her, "Rongrong, I'm fine. Perhaps this period of time was my greatest opportunity."

After speaking, Yang Xiong bowed slightly to Poseidon: "Senior, the Sea God has given instructions regarding the content of the Eighth Trial. I'm afraid I need to leave Sea God Island."

Poseidon nodded: "I have received the decree from the Sea God. You and your party may leave Sea God Island, but you must return as soon as possible, otherwise I fear you may really die."
