Douluo: Martial Soul Nine-Tailed Fox, I am the White Fox Emperor

A mocking smile curled at the corners of Xue Qinghe's lips.

"Since you've said so, Uncle, then I will naturally spare your life."

“Starting tomorrow, Uncle, you will move out of the Prince’s Mansion and go to your original fiefdom in the Western Territory to enjoy your old age.”

He then turned his gaze to his two younger brothers, who were trembling with fear.

"And also, my two dear brothers. Starting tomorrow, I will also bestow upon you both the title of prince. A month from now, go to your respective fiefdoms."

Upon hearing this, Prince Xuexing and the Second and Third Princes turned deathly pale.

Death
nothing left!
This isn't about sending them to their fiefdoms to live out their retirement; it's about exiling them to the frontier to fend for themselves!

In the midst of war, the entire Tiandou Empire, except for a few major cities near Tiandou City which are relatively stable, is in a precarious state, with danger lurking everywhere.

If they brought all their possessions and power to their fiefdoms, they could naturally live quite comfortably and become local tyrants.

But what did they just say?

Give up everything you have!
Even if Xue Qinghe were to "show mercy" and leave them some private guards, it would probably not exceed a hundred people.

This small force is only enough to have a deterrent effect. We'll leave them a little bit of property so they don't starve on the road.

And don't forget what the martial spirit of the Xue family royal family is!
Four-winged swan!

A top-tier support-type martial soul with almost no offensive capabilities!
Once they are exiled to the frontier, without capable subordinates to protect them, it wouldn't be surprising if they were left to rot in the wilderness or killed by bandits and outlaws.

But they knew that this was already the best possible outcome.

Didn't you see? The avalanche that was just taunting us was still full of corpses, and they're not even cold yet?

At least now, they still have a chance to live.

At that moment, the three of them felt extreme regret.

Indeed, you can't push an honest person too hard.

Because you never know what crazy things an honest person might do when pushed to the limit!

at the same time.

On the other side, Hu Liena, Gui Mei, and Yue Guan, who had obtained the Vast Ocean Universe Cover, had already used Gui Mei's stealth ability to leave Tian Dou City quietly.

The three stopped in a dense forest outside the city.

Only then did Hu Liena finally have time to ask the question that had been bothering her.

"Uncle Ghost, Uncle Ju, what was that divine light in the Imperial Study just now?"

Ghost and Moon Gate exchanged a glance, both seeing undisguised joy in each other's eyes.

The ghost's face, hidden beneath his black robe, seemed to soften slightly. He smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "Just now, the two of us also received a test."

"That is, to accompany you as your protector through all the remaining trials."

Upon hearing this, Hu Liena was taken aback at first, then a smile of immense joy bloomed on her pretty face.

"Really? That's great! With my two uncles accompanying me, my assessment won't be so lonely! And after the assessment, my uncles' cultivation should also improve! Hehe!"

Hu Liena was genuinely happy for the two of them.

Ghost and Moon Pass were also very happy. They never expected that this mission would bring such a huge surprise.

According to the rules of the Divine Examination, the levels of assessment, from lowest to highest, are white, yellow, purple, black, red, and the final Divine Examination.

What they received was the Red-Level First Trial, second only to the Divine Trial!
After accompanying Nana through all the trials, it would be perfectly fine to raise their cultivation levels by one each, right?

This was the first time either of them had experienced such a test from the gods, so no matter how excited they were, they didn't set their expectations too high.

But even just one level is an immense blessing for them!
It should be noted that both of them are now at the peak of level 96 Super Douluo, and are only one step away from level 97.

If we raise them by one more level, they'll be level 98!
It's important to know that neither of their ninth spirit rings are 100,000-year rings, which means that they will only reach level 97 at most before they die!

But now this divine test has given them even greater hope!

This level of achievement was something they never even dared to imagine before.

Moreover, if their martial soul fusion skill "Bipolar Stillness Domain" truly reaches level 98, could it pose even the slightest threat to a peak Douluo at level 99?
The moment this thought crossed their minds, both of their hearts began to pound wildly!

The western border of the Star Luo Empire.

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao, along with their son Xie Yue, traveled a long distance and finally arrived at the location found in the Spirit Hall's intelligence.

This is a vast, continuous mountain range, and within the range lies a bottomless canyon.

The canyon is shrouded in gray mist year-round, never seeing the sun, and filled with an atmosphere of death and misfortune.

This is the location of the second trial of the Evil Moon God of Destruction—Puppet Canyon!
Indeed, when Xie Yue, the inheritor of the divine test, stepped into this area, he had a strange premonition deep in his heart.

He could feel something calling to him from the deepest part of the canyon.

"Moon, sense this place; it should be here," Xie Tian said in a deep voice, looking at the canyon before him.

Hu Leyao also looked serious: "The atmosphere here is very strange, you have to be careful."

Xie Yue nodded, his eyes showing no fear, only unwavering determination.

He gripped the moon blade tightly in his hand and, without the slightest hesitation, was the first to step into the gray mist.

Inside the canyon, not a blade of grass grows, and countless broken metal parts and stones are scattered on the ground, resembling an ancient battlefield.

The further you go in, the stronger the feeling of being watched and locked on becomes.

Finally, on a relatively open flat area, Xie Yue stopped.

In front of him stood a giant humanoid puppet, over ten meters tall, made entirely of a dark gold metal, standing silently.

Its body was covered with marks from sword and knife strikes, but there was not a single actual breakage.

When it sensed the arrival of the evil moon, two crimson lights suddenly shone in its empty eye sockets!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The guardian puppet has moved!

It took heavy steps, each step causing the entire canyon to tremble!

"What an astonishing sense of oppression! The material of this puppet should be Geng metal!" Xie Tian analyzed solemnly from the side.

Geng metal is one of the hardest metals on the continent; ordinary swords and knives cannot leave any marks on it.

Xie Yue watched as the guardian puppet charged towards him like a small mountain, but instead of retreating, he advanced! "First Soul Skill, Slash!"

Two enormous silver crescent-shaped swords flew out of his hands, slashing fiercely into the puppet's chest with a piercing whistle that tore through the air!

"Qiang! Qiang!"

However, accompanied by two ear-piercing metallic clangs, the two moon blades were actually flung away!
On the puppet's chest, only two shallow white marks remained!
"Such powerful defense! My attacks are almost ineffective!"

Xie Yue felt a chill run down his spine, but he did not panic.

He flashed forward, using his speed advantage to constantly move around the puppet. The moon blade in his hand was like a storm, slashing at the puppet's joints, neck and other weak points from all sorts of tricky angles!

But in the end, it was all in vain!
This Gengjin puppet is like a war machine without any weaknesses!

"Moon, your test is to shatter the Geng Metal Heart, which means that the core of this puppet is also its weakness! Search carefully! Then use your spatial power to defeat it in one blow!"

Xie Tian reminded him.

core!

Xie Yue's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood the key point!
He stopped launching ineffective attacks.

Finally, he discovered that whenever the puppet swung its right arm to launch an attack, a piece of armor in the center of its chest would produce a barely perceptible energy fluctuation for a moment!

That's it!

The heart of a Geng metal puppet!
Having found the weakness, Xie Yue no longer hesitated!

"A full moon that cleaves the sky!"

He, along with the moon blade in his hand, transformed into a huge silver full moon, and with an unstoppable momentum, he slammed into the chest of the guardian puppet!

This is an evolved version of the original full moon, now featuring a space-splitting effect!
"boom--!"

Amidst a deafening roar, the silver moon struck its target squarely!
The chest armor shattered instantly under the attack of the Rift Moon Blade and the spatial cutting!

It revealed a metal heart inside, pulsating violently and radiating a dazzling golden light!
"It's now!"

Xie Yue seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and unleashed all his amplification soul skills, pouring them into the moon blade in his hand!

"Moonfall!"

The two blades in his hands merged into one, carrying an aura of annihilation, and pierced fiercely into the heart of the Gengjin puppet!
"Crack——!"

The crisp sound of breaking echoed throughout the canyon.

That golden heart was completely pierced and shattered by the moon blade!
With a crisp shattering sound, the giant Gengjin puppet's crimson eyes instantly dimmed.

Its mountain-like body suddenly stiffened, and then countless cracks spread rapidly from the large hole that had been pierced through its chest to its entire body.

"Boom——!"

With a deafening roar, the seemingly indestructible guardian puppet completely disintegrated, turning into a pile of useless dark gold metal fragments.

Within the canyon, deathly silence returned once more.

Xie Yue knelt on one knee, panting heavily. The full-force attack that had just combined with his self-created soul skill had almost drained all the soul power from his body.

But his eyes shone with immense excitement and exhilaration.

He succeeded!
Just then, a cold yet majestic divine thought, like a thunderclap, exploded in his mind!

[Second Trial of the God of Destruction: Shattering the Heart of Geng Metal, Completed.]

[Evaluation: Excellent. (Without external assistance, the player accurately located and destroyed the Guardian's core, demonstrating outstanding combat intelligence and determination.)]

[Reward: 15% affinity with God of Destruction]

"Yue'er!"

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao quickly stepped forward and helped their son up.

However, before they could say more, the divine thought in Xie Yue's mind rang out again.

The content of the third test for the God of Destruction has been distributed.

[The Third Trial of the God of Destruction: The Trial of the Ruins of Annihilation.]

[Background of the assessment: Destruction is one of the laws of the universe. To become my successor, you must first prove that you are qualified to wield this power capable of destroying everything. I will open for you the trial ground leading to the source of destruction—"The Ruins of Annihilation."]

[Assessment Content: Enter the "Ruins of Annihilation" for cultivation.]

[Trial Introduction: This is an independent space formed from a wisp of my primordial divine power, filled with the purest and most violent destructive energy. Cultivating here will subject your body and soul to constant torment and destruction.]

[Requirement: You must actively absorb this destructive energy to temper yourself with its destructive power. Each absorption is a death and a rebirth. If your will collapses, your soul will be completely assimilated by the source of destruction and reduced to nothingness.]

[Duration: One year.]

The desolate ruins!

Upon seeing the content of this third test, Xie Yue felt no fear; instead, his blood began to boil!

This is the test he wanted!

This is the true path of the God of Destruction!
Seeking new life amidst destruction!
Seize strength from suffering!
To be fair, the God of Destruction, being a deity under the God of Destruction, did indeed find the content of this third trial somewhat related to the power of destruction.

This is not surprising, since destruction, in a sense, implies annihilation.

"Moon, what is the content of your third test?" Xie Tian and Hu Leyao were both curious.

Xie Yue then recounted the contents of the divine test.

Hu Leyao said with some worry, "Won't your third test be very dangerous? And we probably won't be able to enter this Ruins of Annihilation."

Xie Tian then understood the meaning behind this divine test: "This divine test may seem dangerous, but it might be able to quickly improve my son's cultivation!"

"The destructive power that we actively absorb needs an outlet. So, is it possible to transform this destructive power into our own soul power?"

But at that moment, another change occurred!

Two smaller beams of light, both radiating a dark red divine light, suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping Xie Tian and Hu Leyao as well!
[Red-level First Trial: As the protector of the inheritor, safeguard the inheritor, Xie Yue, and complete all the remaining trials.]

This sudden turn of events left Xie Tian and his wife stunned.

Xie Tian and Hu Leyao never expected that they would pass the divine test in this way!
