Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 428 Scheming in the Abyss, the Nine Trials of the Fire God Descend, the Rakshasa's Divine Consciousness Remains Unextinguished
The so-called "using a counter-strategy" means taking the opportunity to establish a passage between the Abyss Plane and the Douluo Plane, while the God Realm pretends not to have discovered its existence at the first moment.

After the two dimensional passages were completed, the gods fixed the location of the Abyss Dimension to prevent it from escaping. The rest was simple: the Abyss Dimension wanted to devour the Douluo Dimension to strengthen itself, and the Douluo Dimension could also devour the Abyss Dimension in return.

Xu Tianxi knew that the power imbalance in the Abyss Plane was extreme.

They have a total of 108 levels. The first level of the abyss is ruled by the Lord of the Abyss, also known as the Abyss Saint. With the blessing of the plane, the Abyss Saint has the combat power of a first-level god and wields a super artifact, the Heavenly Saint Abyss Splitting Halberd. He is rarely matched in close combat.

However, even ten thousand years later when the Douluo Plane was extremely weak, he was unable to forcibly descend to the Douluo Plane. He could only come in the form of possessing the Demon Emperor. His strength in the Douluo Plane was suppressed, and he was only a second-level god. He was killed by Tang Hao, who became the ruler of the plane, with a single hammer blow.

In this era, it would be much more difficult for him to descend into the Douluo plane, and his strength would be suppressed even more severely; in the original timeline, the leader of the Abyss's first invasion thousands of years later was only the third-level lord, Emperor Lie.

Below the Abyss Saint King, the strength of the Spirit Emperor, the second-level lord of the Abyss Plane, was directly reduced to a quasi-god with considerable divine sense. His strength might not be much stronger than Tang Hao, whom he had just killed.

The third level, the Fierce Emperor, is a quasi-god with divine power, but he doesn't have much of an advantage compared to the Bull God or the Titan; those behind him are lords who possess divine bodies or whose physical parts are comparable to divine artifacts...

Xu Tianxi strongly suspected that 99% of the energy absorbed by the Abyss Plane was monopolized by the Abyss Saint King, otherwise, how could he, a first-level god, not have any priests under him?

Of course, the lords of the first thirty-six floors are all at the level of Limit Douluo, the lords of the middle thirty-six floors are all at the level of Super Douluo, and the lords of the last thirty-six floors are all at the level of Title Douluo. It looks very scary, and their strength on paper completely suppresses the Douluo plane.

Xu Tianxi knew he was no match for the Abyss Saint King, but the Abyss Saint King couldn't have come here at his peak, while he was here under divine testing.

If he can lure the Abyss Saint to this place, and then become a god, he can ensure that the Abyss Saint never returns; he can even turn around and invade the Abyss Plane after becoming a god of level one or higher, and kill the Abyss Saint.

"This plan sounds feasible. The divine realm can pretend not to have discovered it for a short time. Once it arrives, I will quickly put you through the divine qualification test."

The Water God considered it for a moment and thought it was quite good. Then, after looking at Xu Tianxi's cultivation level, his face lit up with joy:
"Huh? You're just one step away from level ninety-nine? How about I give you a divine test right now? The divine realm really needs new blood right now."

Xu Tianxi thought for a moment and chose to refuse: "Senior, the last step I need to take is a path of living towards death, which requires an unwavering heart to succeed. If you now send me a divine test, it may affect my determination."

"Having cultivated to this point, my soul power foundation has been tempered and refined countless times. I beg you, senior, to allow me to complete this final step as well. I do not wish to forcibly enhance my soul power through methods such as divine trials, as that would be detrimental to my cultivation."

Xu Tianxi always believed that the foundation of cultivation was very important. Thirty percent of his soul power was now transforming into chaotic divine power, and his divine sense and blood energy far exceeded his cultivation level. This was something he did intentionally, as he was about to take the final step at level ninety-nine.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. Anyway, it's only level one, I don't think it will take long."

The Water Goddess was quite patient with Xu Tianxi. The last time she visited Xu Tianxi, Xu Tianxi had advanced to level 88 under her guidance. In just over a year, Xu Tianxi had advanced ten levels, and it was estimated that advancing to level 99 would only take another day. She could afford to wait.

"However, senior, we can try to bring down the divine test of the God of Fire. Xiao Ye has cultivated well and has now advanced to the level of Title Douluo."

Thinking of the eldest disciple who kept complaining about meeting the wrong master, Xu Tianxi felt it was time to give her some hope. Being burned by lightning for a month was indeed quite painful.

"Her? Bring her here so I can take a look?" The water god felt it was better to see the real person.

"Easy to say."

Xu Tianxi smiled slightly, raised his hand and summoned Xuanwu. The space distorted and the air temperature soared. Ye Guyi's four pairs of wings fluttered behind her, like an eight-winged seraphim descending to earth. The angelic holy light was attached to the wildfire, and its power was boundless.

Sensing the change in environment, Ye Guyi didn't open her eyes. Instead, she spoke with a pained expression, her voice melodious yet weak, sounding very pitiful:
"Teacher, you've been keeping me busy for a month now. I've just returned to Mingdu, so please let me rest for a while... Oh? Senior Water God is here too."

"Yes, of course."

The Water God glanced at her with a smile, nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Yin and Yang complement each other with dual soul cores, divine awakening, eight-winged angel, fused with the overwhelming divine fire passed down from the true dragon, your fortune is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Ye Guyi said somewhat embarrassedly, "This is all thanks to the teacher. It was the teacher who brought me so many opportunities."

Xu Tianxi's face darkened, and he gave her a flick on the forehead in front of the Water God, saying, "It's good that you know your master has good intentions. Be more careful with your words in the future. What do you mean by 'torturing you for a month'? Is providing you with the best cultivation environment to stimulate your potential 'torturing'?"

"Without my all-out efforts, how could you have awakened the martial soul potential of a six-winged angel, and how could you have fully absorbed the energy of that dragon pill and fused with the dragon soul?"

"Yes, yes, you're doing this all for my own good. I'm the one who's heartless and ungrateful. I'll remember your kindness for the rest of my life. It's just that you can't be a little gentler when you teach me. You're so handsome, why do you always have such a cold face..."

Ye Guyi muttered to herself, but her eyes were filled with gratitude.

After a month of torment by the dual seas of thunder and fire, on the twentieth day she awakened her deep potential, absorbed a portion of the energy clusters left after the fall of the three gods, her martial soul reverted to its ancestral form as a six-winged angel, and absorbed the dragon pill brought back by Xu Tianxi.

After another ten days of agonizing torment, Xu Tianxi intensified his attacks on her for ten days and ten nights. She no longer felt that her physical body was not strong enough, and naturally, she cultivated a dual soul core that complemented Yin and Yang.

Xu Tianxi had already found the right choice for her ninth soul ring: a true dragon soul from Dragon Valley, the one that produced the dragon core. The original essence is used to transform the original essence into the original essence, aiming for a perfect match.

Upon advancing to the titled realm, the six-winged angel grew two more wings, becoming an eight-winged angel, and its angelic domain was activated.

Xu Tianxi said with a look of disdain, "It's not that I want to be strict, but it's just that none of you are as dedicated to cultivation as I am. Even with my talent and hard work, I still have to worry about future challenges, so how can you people possibly slack off?"

As he spoke, his tone became more forceful, and he stared at Ye Guyi, calmly saying:
“Especially you, the Angelic Martial Soul is thriving in this era. We’ve captured so many evil soul masters, and Ye Xishui will soon be publicly executed. I plan to leave her to you.”

“But cultivating too fast isn’t always a good thing. If I don’t step in to suppress you, who will? You’re already a powerful figure in the Sun Moon Empire, having achieved great success in your cultivation. It would be hard for you to accept being a junior Soul Master who might be reprimanded by your elders at any time, right?” Hearing these words, Ye Guyi silently lowered her head. Xu Tianxi was right. She and Yu Mengdi had benefited from the era’s advantages because of their Martial Souls. They were the only two people in this generation besides Xu Tianxi who had become Title Douluo.

Now, her martial soul has returned to its ancestral form and has taken it a step further. It can be said that she has restored half of the glory of the angels. In the future, when she marries and has children, she will awaken a six-winged angel or even an eight-winged angel. The only difference compared to ten thousand years ago is that it is impossible to achieve the innate level 20.

But once you become a god, this will no longer be a problem.

“I told you before, ten thousand years ago, Ma Hongjun, one of the Shrek Seven Devils, challenged the inheritance of the God of Fire, but failed because his foundation was not solid, leaving behind a great regret; I will not let such a thing happen to you, because I am your teacher; if no one else can be the villain, then let me be the one!”

After speaking, Xu Tianxi waved his sleeves, his voice resounding like a great bell, and with a serious expression, he shouted loudly:
“If you call me teacher, I, Xu Tianxi, will fulfill this responsibility. I believe you will understand. If you don’t understand right away, that’s fine too. I will be the strict teacher who urges you forward!”

"If you can defeat me one day, then you will no longer need to listen to me, and I look forward to that day coming soon."

Ye Guyi fell completely silent, bowed her head, and greeted Xu Tianxi with a deep bow: "Thank you for your teachings, Teacher. I will remember them."

Suddenly, another voice entered the quiet room, loud and powerful, carrying a unique sense of authority.

"Excellent, excellent. The Douluo Continent is truly a land of outstanding people and resources. The little fellow has a very good character, so I am relieved."

Xu Tianxi and Ye Guyi turned around and saw that the person's figure was illusory, standing side by side with the Water God. They bowed in unison and said, "Greetings, Senior Fire God."

"Hmm." Vulcan nodded and smiled, saying, "Xiao Shui and I are both husband and wife and sworn enemies, forming a special relationship of 'incompatible like fire and water but with deep affection.' The two of you have a strict teacher and a little student, which is quite interesting."

Xu Tianxi responded with a polite smile, but didn't take the bait; it was a difficult topic to discuss.

The God of Fire was clearly not here for Xu Tianxi. He looked at Ye Guyi, nodded, and with a flick of his finger, a flame sword pattern appeared between Ye Guyi's eyebrows.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, he grasped a four-foot-long sword, its blade half a foot wide at the widest part of the hilt, exuding a powerful and sharp aura.

"The Nine Trials of the God of Fire, descend!"

The God of Fire activated the assessment with the Sword of the God of Fire, and a towering pillar of fire shot into the sky from the basement and even the entire Heavenly Court.

Xu Tianxi's eyes flickered, and he used his divine sense to conceal the situation.

"I have gained some insights from my seclusion and cultivation, so there is no need to panic."

Xu Tianxi conjured a spiritual light and shadow hundreds of feet high, which appeared in the sky above the Heavenly Court, calming everyone's desire to investigate.

Seeing this, Xiao Hongchen, Xiong Jun, and the others dispersed reluctantly, wanting to go into the basement to cause some trouble and see what kind of mischief this guy had gotten up to this time.

No one suspected that there was someone else here. Xu Tianxi, who was constantly struck by heavenly tribulations, was not a normal person to begin with. Perhaps one day he would become a god, and everyone would just say "Oh".

In the basement, the phantom of the Vulcan passed the Vulcan Sword to Ye Guyi and said, "With the help of the Vulcan Sword, you can enter the Vulcan Space to undergo the test."

"Your strength is very strong, far surpassing that of Phoenix Pony from ten thousand years ago. Your will has also been honed to a high level, and most of the tests will not be difficult for you. I look forward to your performance."

"Thank you, Senior Vulcan." Ye Guyi accepted the Vulcan Sword with a joyful expression. Feeling the weight of this divine weapon, Ye Guyi felt a warmth in her heart and couldn't help but look gratefully at Xu Tianxi beside her.

"Teacher, don't you want to say anything? I've already started the assessment." Ye Guyi said with a smile.

Xu Tianxi glanced at her and said indifferently, "You only have level 94 soul power now. What if I give you a year? If I want to become a god, it's just a snap of my fingers."

"But you also said you would leave Ye Xishui to me. That woman is a Limit Douluo! It's equivalent to me directly absorbing all the cultivation of a Limit Douluo!" Ye Guyi seemed to really want to see Xu Tianxi's anxious expression.

Sure enough, Xu Tianxi's eyelids twitched, and he turned to bow solemnly to the God of Fire, saying earnestly:
"So that the God of Fire will know that this woman is the descendant of the Angel God. The God of Destruction once instructed her that once her cultivation reaches the Limit Douluo level, she can retrieve the fragments of the Angel God's position and merge them with the God of Fire's position to become even more powerful."

"Both the God of Destruction and I have high hopes for her, so please do not hold back during the assessment."

"Oh?" The God of Fire looked surprised upon hearing this, glanced at Ye Guyi, and solemnly agreed:

"No problem, no problem. I will test her with three times the difficulty of the test I gave Ma Hongjun ten thousand years ago. I will definitely make her suffer in every round!"

"Thank you, Senior Vulcan." Xu Tianxi thanked Ye Guyi on her behalf, then patted Ye Guyi, who was frozen in place like a statue, and said with a faint smile:

"Little Ye, a tremendous opportunity is right in front of you. You can't end up like your ancestor Qian Renxue. That would be such a waste of her angelic position..."

"Oh, right, and this fragment of the Demon Scythe, please have the two True Gods take a look at it as well..." Xu Tianxi then handed the fragment of the Rakshasa Demon Scythe to the God of Fire for inspection.

"Huh? The previous Rakshasa God still has a wisp of divine consciousness left?"

The God of Fire exclaimed in surprise, then raised his hand and drew a wisp of purple soul mist from the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, which gradually condensed into a human figure...
