Douluo: Peerless Black Tortoise Moon God

Chapter 440 Cultivation Achieved, Qian Renxue Sacrifices Herself, and the Divine Fire God is Born

The surging energy was subtly exceeding the demiplane's limits. This demiplane was no different from the undead demiplane; it was merely something Electrolux had casually created in his early years, and now he had to step in to maintain spatial order.

Fortunately, Xu Tianxi's burst of energy didn't last too long. After about half an hour, he successfully gathered all the surging energy back and adapted to the drastic change.

In the middle dantian, the Qi, Blood, Soul Core is like a bright, blood-red pearl with countless points of light on its surface. Each point of light, upon closer inspection, resembles a black hole, transporting blood and soul power and evaporating life energy.

Having faced death once, his understanding of vitality has become much deeper. Even if he doesn't become a god, he is confident that he can live in the human world for at least five hundred years in his current body, maintaining his peak condition without decline, making death even more difficult.

At the same time, the chaotic state in his lower dantian improved, as the spiritual soul core and the qi and blood soul core connected through the heavenly bridge, converged downwards, and stabilized everything.

His soul power, like his divine sense and blood, unleashed its potential between life and death, elevating its quality to multiple levels, becoming crystal clear and colorful; his former second soul core, once like an illusory star, now manifested as a real, indestructible entity.

The direction of the soul power core's rotation has reversed, becoming the same as the spirit core, but the opposite of the blood and qi core; essence, qi, and spirit unite to nourish the body.

Xu Tianxi released his consciousness, fully awakened, and let out a long breath. His eyes shone like waves, his pupils like a vast ocean, and the illusion formed by his divine sense was profound and boundless.

"Breaking down and then building up, returning to simplicity, I have finally taken this step. Currently, 90% of my soul power has been converted into divine power. My breathing can form black holes that can contain infinite soul power. My level... should be in the late stage of level 99, right? It seems that there is still room for improvement."

After stretching his muscles and bones, Xu Tianxi introspected and summarized his gains. With the three soul cores connected, the final bottleneck could no longer stop him. His soul power soared to the sky, comparable to years of hard work, reaching a level that others could not achieve even after decades of hard work.

"boom!"

Just then, a thunderclap sounded overhead. Xu Tianxi's expression changed slightly, realizing that his soul power had broken through, and he had attracted another tribulation from the plane.

"This demiplane is difficult to navigate; it could easily lead to trouble." Glancing at the surroundings, Xu Tianxi immediately looked at Electrolux and said:

"Teacher, please take me to the undead demiplane. It's a suitable place to undergo tribulation."

Electrolux glanced at him and chuckled, "You finally got through that life-or-death ordeal, aren't you going to go out and show your friends what you've got?"

He looked up at the gathering tribulation clouds and said meaningfully, "This heavenly tribulation lightning may not matter to you, but if it were used on the battlefield... its power would be unparalleled."

"There's no rush to kill the enemy. After all, I haven't broken through the final shackles yet, so it's better to keep a low profile for now."

Xu Tianxi shook his head. The idea of ​​using the Heavenly Tribulation to kill enemies was very tempting to him, but this method could only be used to catch people off guard the first time. He thought that with his current strength, he was enough to fight against some weaker gods, but the Abyss Saint King was different. He was a plane lord who possessed a super artifact.

Only the tribulation he faces when he becomes a god can truly punish him!
"Alright." Seeing that Xu Tianxi had his own plans, Electrox didn't say anything more, opened the passage to the undead demiplane, and guided the two of them there.

"Boom boom boom——!"

The nine-colored lightning tribulation fell like a torrential downpour, cleaving the sky and covering the earth. Each bolt of lightning was at least as thick as a water vat, enough to make even a top expert like Di Tian change color. Its power surpassed the all-out attack of Ye Xi's Water Death God Tower.

If one were to undergo tribulation in the Douluo Continent, it would absolutely turn a region into a dead zone in an instant, extinguishing all life and reducing the surrounding area to nothingness.

This is also a major reason why Xu Tianxi doesn't want to go out directly. Once outside, he'll be in the Heavenly Court's basement. If a lightning tribulation strikes down on him, wouldn't he, the Lord of the Heavenly Court, be destroying his own home?

And it would be even more terrifying to go to the battlefield with lightning tribulation in tow... The space along the way might be cleaved through before the battle even begins.

"Three-word battle armor, appear!"

A halo of perfect harmony rose from beneath his feet, and Xu Tianxi's three-word battle armor solidified in the void, merging into his body to undergo the tribulation of lightning.

This battle armor had already accompanied him through several heavenly tribulations. This time, after another heavenly tribulation, Xu Tianxi, whose spiritual sense had surged, seemed to be able to sense a wondrous rhythm of heaven and earth. He used this rhythm to temper his body and refine his flesh and battle armor.

One after another, heavenly tribulations fell down, shocking the massive army of undead creatures. Their instinct to fear the strong made them hesitate, and they dared not look directly at him.

"Using lightning tribulation to temper the armor, it's truly remarkable that you came up with such a dangerous method. However, it is indeed a good idea, and it's worthwhile for me to teach you some weapon-forging techniques."

Electrolux watched as Xu Tianxi spread his arms and bathed in the lightning tribulation, like a roc soaring through the nine heavens, an eagle striking the sky for three hundred miles, wandering the boundless天地 (heaven and earth), and a sense of accomplishment welled up within him.

The soul tool system in this world is very different from that in Electrolux's world, but Electrolux is a top expert in crafting equipment by hand and can always come up with some similar ideas; Xu Tianxi once consulted him about the concept of making a natal soul tool and also put forward some of his own opinions for Electrolux to correct.

What pleased Electrox the most was that Xu Tianxi, influenced by him, thought that creating a tower-shaped soul tool was a good goal and had already begun to try. However, time was too short and he did not have time to collect enough materials to forge the soul tool.

Moreover, having cultivated to his current level, he had the idea of ​​surpassing Kong Deming in terms of soul tools. He was determined to create a natal soul tool of level eleven or higher, as only in this way could he significantly enhance his combat power. Otherwise, it would be meaningless to create one, merely an empty shell.

Electrolux expressed his understanding, saying that if one cannot create an unprecedented and unparalleled weapon by hand, then it is better not to do it at all.

A moment later, the heavenly tribulation dissipated, and Xu Tianxi returned covered in blood and wounds, coughing up blood repeatedly, with large sections of his battle armor also damaged.

However, Xu Tianxi looked excited and delighted; he activated his three soul cores and completely recovered from his injuries in about ten minutes, his aura reaching a new level.

The battle armor, having undergone numerous trials, also transformed. The range of the sun and moon halo it released suddenly expanded and was sublimated, with the vast and boundless sun and moon light and shadow suspended in the air, as if evolving into a dazzling starry sky.

In the sea of ​​spirit, the Mountain Dragon King, who had been resting, yawned, woke up, and offered his assessment:
"Your divine sense has surpassed the scope of a third-level god, your blood and qi are approaching that of a second-level god, and the transformation of your soul power into divine power is just around the corner."

"Don't let your guard down. Now is not the time to relax. When you break through the hundred-level barrier and ascend to godhood, everything about you will undergo a major transformation. It's not too late to be happy then."

"You still have two layers of my seal that haven't been broken. Once you've completely refined the blood and energy within those two seals, even a first-level deity descending won't be able to do anything to you."

"Thank you for your guidance, senior. 'The journey of a hundred miles is only half complete at ninety.' I understand the importance of this now."

Xu Tianxi responded seriously, his expression calm. He was about to become a god, and his heart was churning with emotion, but it was impossible for him to open champagne at the halfway point.

Xu Tianxi took out a pill the size of a fingernail, swallowed the Qiankun Creation Pill, and looked at Electrolux, inquiring about the situation in the Abyss Battlefield.

“During your absence, the battle on the Abyss battlefield has indeed become more intense day by day. Those guys couldn’t break through the defenses of Spirit Fighting City for a while, so they started trying to bypass the defenses. The little silver dragon also led the undead army to fight back and forth with them, holding on tightly and refusing to let go.”

After thinking for a moment, Electrox said, "Most of the experts from the Sun Moon Empire have entered the battlefield, and the strongmen from the major soul beast gathering areas have also joined the battle to help with the defense. In the past few days, even some ocean soul beasts have started to move out."

"Overall, the situation is still under control, but just two days ago, a powerful expert with divine strength appeared in the Abyss Plane, launching a surprise attack on the position and defeating many undead creatures. Di Tian intervened and stopped him. That guy claimed to be the lord of the third layer of the Abyss, the Fierce Emperor." "The Fierce Emperor, huh? That makes sense." Xu Tianxi nodded, then asked, "What about Xiao Ye? I vaguely sensed her arrival while I was in seclusion. How did her Nine Trials of the God of Fire go?"

"There's no news yet," Electrox shook his head.

"Is the ninth test not finished yet?"

Xu Tianxi frowned, took out the Water God Pearl, and used his divine sense to contact the Water God.

The Water God's image quickly appeared, and seeing that Xu Tianxi's cultivation had reached level ninety-nine, it was immediately overjoyed and smiled:

"Are you ready to accept the position of the Water God? I've almost recovered all the fragments of the Trident of Poseidon, but there's still one main piece left that I haven't found yet..."

"Little Fire is in charge of collecting the fragments of the Sea God's throne. He has found them all and can throw them into the sea for you at any time."

"Senior, you've gone to so much trouble. I wanted to ask how my disciple's divine trials are progressing? Are there any problems with her ninth trial?"

Xu Tianxi bowed in thanks, deeply grateful for the Water God's help. The Water God had done this for the sake of the future of the water deities, but it had also helped him a great deal. He didn't have time to leave the Douluo plane to search for things in the universe right now.

"Little Ye's ninth test, let me see..." Upon hearing this, the Water God temporarily disappeared, then reappeared a moment later, replying:

"She has passed the test of her conscience, and the Vulcan armor is complete. Now, she is integrating the fragments of the Angelic Godhood into the Vulcan Godhood, as is the Angelic Holy Sword, which is nearing completion."

"So, she has actually completed all nine tests?" Xu Tianxi breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this news, then asked, "May I have witnessed something of it?"

"Well... in principle, it's not possible, but your situation is special, so it's possible." The Water God's eyes darted around, and he agreed to Xu Tianxi's request.

In the next instant, she opened a portal of energy light.

Xu Tianxi first said goodbye to Electrolux, and then stepped inside.

Suddenly, the light and shadow before him changed, and he entered a magnificent palace. Ye Guyi was kneeling in a giant light array, his Fire God armor majestic and awe-inspiring, every inch of his body containing the brilliance of the sun and radiating magnificent divine power.

Around her, the sword of the god of fire and the holy sword of the angel flew in a line. Beneath her was the complete divine throne of the god of fire, and above her was the shattered divine throne of the angel. One above the other, divine light interacted and gradually merged into one.

"Her angelic martial soul possesses both holy and fire attributes, making her the perfect choice for my position as the God of Fire." The God of Fire spoke, his voice rough and thunderous, clearly indicating a fiery temper.

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the angelic divine position is still somewhat resistant to being completely integrated?" Xu Tianxi's eyesight was superb, and he quickly grasped the key point.

One is the intact position of the god of fire, and the other is the position of the god of angels that has been broken for ten thousand years. It is obvious which one is stronger. Although it is called a fusion, the position of the god of fire must be the main body, and the position of the god of angels must be secondary.

“That’s right, but it’s only a matter of time.” Vulcan nodded.

Xu Tianxi's gaze darted around and quickly settled on the Angelic Holy Sword, where there was a life force. He released his divine sense and saw a graceful figure.

"It was you. You're still alive..."

Xu Tianxi recognized Qian Renxue's presence, and after a moment's thought, he shouted loudly:

“Angel God, I have heard that your angel family has a tradition of bestowing great sacrifices upon future generations for thousands of years. In this world, you are the only one who can influence the position of the angel god. Why not make a decision sooner?”

The Holy Sword of the Angel trembled and sent out a beam of light, saying, "I originally intended to dwell forever within the Holy Sword, to become a wisp of its spirit. Are you asking me to burn my own divine consciousness to fulfill her wish?"

Xu Tianxi shook his head and said, "I just want to advise you to let the broken Angel God position merge into the Fire God position on its own, so as to reduce the consumption of energy and time. The longer it drags on, the more the divinity of the position will be worn away. You know this better than I do."

"The position of the angel is now in the past and cannot be restored. You should know that your enemy from back then would never leave such a lingering problem!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue stared at Xu Tianxi for a moment, then nodded emphatically: "You're right. That person has already severed the possibility of the Angel God reappearing in the world. I should let go of my obsession. As long as the Angel God's light remains, whether it is the same Angel God or not is not so important..."

As soon as she finished speaking, golden flames began to ignite around her body, burning fiercely and rapidly spreading throughout her entire being. Qian Renxue glanced back at Ye Guyi, then turned to Xu Tianxi and said:

“She has liked you for a long time, and this is something that has been shown in her tests. You don’t necessarily have to reciprocate her feelings; but I ask you not to distance yourself from her. This girl is actually very strong-willed.”

Xu Tianxi's eyelids twitched slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "She is my student, you don't need to tell me that."

"Well, I wish you all the best in the future, and I thank the two true gods for their favor. They will not let you down."

Qian Renxue smiled, flames spreading across her cheeks, her entire being transforming into a torch, and she soared into the illusory image of the reconciled angelic throne.

Soon, golden flames engulfed the angel's throne, causing it to shine brightly before quickly dissipating and transforming into a shower of light that fell upon the fire god's throne.

Suddenly, the position of the God of Fire gained an air of noble and transcendent holiness, which then quickly merged with Ye Guyi's aura, transforming everything about her.

"Boom~!"

Beneath the divine throne, a beam of light suddenly shot into the sky. Ye Guyi awoke and stood up beneath the beam of light. The Angelic Holy Sword and the Fire God's Divine Sword intersected and merged in a peculiar way, eventually falling into her right hand.

In an instant, her soul power broke through the last barrier, reaching level 100 and becoming a god. The soul power fluctuations she released made Xu Tianxi feel a strong threat.

As the divine light dissipated, Ye Guyi arrived with his sword, eight divine rings floating behind him, surpassing those of a first-level god but below the supreme god, seven layers of fiery red, and the last layer a divine gold.

"Teacher, Senior Vulcan, I did it!"

Ye Guyi, the Holy Fire God, strode out, suppressing her divine nature, and bowed to Xu Tianxi and the Fire God, her face beaming with boundless joy.

"That's wonderful, I'm very pleased." Xu Tianxi stepped forward to help her up, his eyes changing from surprise to understanding, and finally to delight.

He finally succeeded in his cultivation, and all his hard work was worthwhile.
