I've already been given the title of Douluo, and you want me to be reasonable?

As the crimson heavenly tribulation, like the fangs of an ancient ferocious beast, collided with the golden shield, the entire world seemed to be torn apart.

The space around Lin Yuan began to distort, and cracks spread outwards like a spider web. The runes on the surface of the golden shield flickered wildly, but they were still unable to withstand the erosion of the heavenly tribulation, and the cracks continued to widen.

Finally, under the relentless onslaught of lightning, the golden shield in front of it could no longer withstand the attack and exploded with a bang, turning into a sky full of golden light and dissipating into the air.

Lin Yuan swayed, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes grew colder. He then quickly formed hand seals, and a huge phantom of Asura appeared behind him.

The phantom figure wielded the Asura Demon Sword, surrounded by crimson mist, exuding a chilling aura of slaughter.

"Shura Field, open!"

Lin Yuan shouted, and the crimson mist instantly spread, enveloping him and resisting the remaining power of the heavenly tribulation.

In the distance, the Crimson King's barrier trembled violently under the impact of the aftershocks of the heavenly tribulation. His expression was solemn, his forehead covered in cold sweat, and he roared:

"What kind of heavenly tribulation is this! Its power is terrifying!"

Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling stood inside the barrier, holding each other's hands tightly, their eyes filled with worry.

Looking at Lin Yuan, who was fighting fiercely in the distance, Ye Lingling said with a trembling voice, "Teacher... can he really pull through?"

However, Canglong Shangque, Lin Yuan's mount, had piercing eyes, staring intently at Lin Yuan amidst the heavenly tribulation, and said in a deep voice:

"Since you were able to obtain the inheritance of the Asura God, you must have extraordinary abilities. This is just the beginning. The real test is yet to come."

As soon as he finished speaking, the dark clouds in the sky surged again, and actually condensed into a huge Asura face.

This face was extremely similar to the phantom behind Lin Yuan, yet it was filled with endless pressure and indifference, as if the Asura God himself had descended upon this place, making people tremble with fear.

Boom!

In an instant, the second heavenly tribulation descended. This time, the tribulation was no longer a single blood red color, but was mixed with black lightning, like a huge black and red dragon roaring as it rushed towards Lin Yuan.

"Kill me!"

Lin Yuan gazed at the direction in the sky, then his eyes sharpened. He swung the Asura Demon Sword in his hand, unleashing a blood-red sword light to meet the terrifying heavenly tribulation.

The sword light collided with the heavenly tribulation, unleashing a dazzling light, and a powerful shockwave spread wildly outwards from the point of impact.

The Crimson King's barrier teetered on the brink of collapse under the impact of this shockwave. He immediately raised his soul power to its limit and roared, "Hold on!"

However, the power of the shockwave far exceeded his expectations, and cracks appeared on the surface of the barrier. Upon seeing this, Zhu Zhuqing immediately used her soul skill to infuse the barrier with power.

Ye Lingling hurriedly used her healing soul skill to restore the Crimson King's soul power. However, because this energy was too powerful, Shang Que was forced to escort the group a hundred meters away.

"Eighth Soul Skill, Asura Annihilation!"

Lin Yuan shouted again, and at the same time, his 100,000-year soul skill instantly condensed into a blood-red light blade. With Lin Yuan's swing, a huge sword beam containing the power of the Asura God was unleashed.

The sword beam cleaved the black and red heavenly tribulation in two, its remaining power undiminished, continuing its charge towards the Asura face in the sky.

The Asura-faced figure roared, and the surrounding dark clouds surged wildly, actually condensing three more heavenly tribulations that fell towards Lin Yuan at the same time.

These three heavenly tribulations intertwined, forming a massive vortex that enveloped Lin Yuan, creating a sense of relentless struggle.

Lin Yuan was at the center of the vortex, feeling unprecedented pressure, as if the entire world was squeezing him, trying to crush him completely. "It seems I have no choice but to use that move!"

A resolute glint flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes as he gathered all his soul power and Asura divine power into the Asura Demon Sword.

The Asura Demon Sword shone brightly, and countless tiny Asura phantoms appeared around the sword, shouting in unison with deafening roars.

"Ninth Soul Skill, Shura Heaven-Destroying Slash!"

Lin Yuan used all his strength to slash the Asura Demon Sword towards the Heavenly Tribulation vortex. At the same time, the million-year soul ring on his body lit up, unleashing the strongest attack of the million-year soul skill.

The enormous sword light collided with the Heavenly Tribulation vortex, generating a strong spatial tremor. The entire Star Dou Great Forest trembled, and huge cracks appeared on the ground. Some weak soul beasts were directly stunned by this force.

The Crimson King was thrown into the air by the shockwave and crashed heavily to the ground, his heart filled with shock.

As the sword light and the vortex of heavenly tribulation locked in a stalemate, Lin Yuan's body began to turn transparent, as if it might dissipate at any moment.

With a deafening roar, the Heavenly Tribulation vortex was shattered, and the Asura face in the sky vanished.

The dark clouds gradually dispersed, and the sunlight shone once again on the Starry Sky Forest.

Lin Yuan stood weakly in place, his body swaying precariously. Looking at his intact hands, he revealed a relieved smile.

Although this assessment was extremely difficult, he not only successfully broke through to the level 98 Title Douluo, but also took the first step in completing the first assessment.

After all, there is a second step: when he breaks through to the level 99 Peerless Douluo, the God of Asura will once again unleash divine punishment.

Just then, Canglong Shangque and the others rushed to Lin Yuan's side, and Ye Lingling immediately used her healing soul skill to restore his injuries.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Lin Yuan with admiration in her eyes.

Canglong Shangque also stepped forward, bowed to Lin Yuan in front of him, and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Master, on successfully transcending the tribulation and breaking through to the level 98 Title Douluo."

Lin Yuan slowly stood up, exhaled a breath of hot air, and said calmly, "I didn't expect the divine punishment in this assessment to be so powerful. If I hadn't reacted in time, I probably would have really failed."

"Master, is this the first test of the Asura God?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Lin Yuan nodded, took out a pot of wine, took a couple of sips, and said calmly, "It seems that the first trial of the Asura God is not as simple as I imagined. The real difficulty lies in the divine punishment that occurs during the breakthrough."

"But this is quite normal. After all, the Asura God is one of the five great god-kings of the god realm. If he could be obtained so easily, he wouldn't be called the Judge."

Lin Yuan shrugged, glanced at the Crimson King's position out of the corner of his eye, and said indifferently, "Has Di Tian not returned yet? If he doesn't, I'll go and find other 100,000-year-old soul beasts suitable for Lingling."

.........

At this moment, in a mysterious palace in the realm of gods, the God of Asura sat on his throne, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"Indeed, to have successfully broken through under such a difficult heavenly tribulation, it seems you are indeed qualified to inherit my godhood. However, this is only the beginning; the trials to come will be even more brutal..."
