Douluo Continent: I had just reached my limit when the sky exposed me.

Chapter 216 Super Artifacts Make the List

Most terrifyingly, a projection of a hellish landscape appeared around the phantom of the demonic sword!

In the center of that hellish realm, one could vaguely see the phantom of a demon god, clad in blood-red armor, wielding a demonic sword, with eyes as cold as ice.

That was the manifestation of the Asura God's divine will!

[Ranking 4th on the Divine Artifacts and Treasures List: Asura Demon Sword]

[Rank]: Super Artifact (Slaughter/Judgment/Law Attributes)

[Characteristics]: This is the exclusive super artifact of the "Asura God," one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm. Forged from Chaos Blood Crystals, fragments of laws, and the complete god-king authority of the Asura God, the sword possesses an innate "Asura Domain." Within this domain, the power of all killing-attribute skills is increased by 500%, while the effects of all defensive, healing, and support-attribute skills are weakened by 80%. It can sever causality, shatter laws, and judge deities. Only the inheritor of the Asura God's position can fully wield it.

[Owner]: Lü Bu (Beidou Academy, inheritor of the Asura God's position)

[Reason for Ranking]: This divine weapon is a supreme treasure inherited from the God of Asura, possessing the highest rank and truly being a super divine weapon. It has the terrifying power to judge deities and sever laws. However, because Lu Bu has not yet fully inherited the position of God of Asura, this sword is in a semi-sealed state, only able to unleash 50% of its power, and it has a strong corrosive effect on the wielder's character. Considering its power, rank, and degree of sealing, it ranks fourth.

[Rewards for making the list:]

1. Seal loosened: The seal on the Asura Demon Sword is partially released, allowing it to unleash 80% of its power. The Asura Domain expands to a radius of 60 miles, and the activity of the Killing Law within the domain increases by 40%.

2. Accelerated Divine Trial: Lu Bu's Asura Divine Trial progress is accelerated by 50%, the difficulty of the Demon Sword recognizing its master is reduced by 60%, and the estimated completion time is shortened by two-thirds.

3. Judgment Authority: Unlocks the Shura Demon Sword's exclusive divine skill "Blood Slaughter Judgment" (launches an absolute judgment on a single target, ignoring defense and laws, directly attacking the soul's origin, and has additional damage bonus against god-level targets).

4. Enlightenment of Laws: Lu Bu's understanding of the "Law of Slaughter" and "Law of Judgment" will be permanently increased by 30%, and the difficulty of breaking through the God King bottleneck in the future will be reduced by 15%.

……

The moment the sound of the curtain falls.

The entire Douluo Continent fell into an unprecedented silence!
After the deathly silence came a deafening uproar and terror, like a landslide and a tsunami!
"Fourth place! The Asura Demon Sword! A supreme artifact!"

"My God! This is truly a divine artifact! A weapon of god-king level!"

"The City of Slaughter is actually the place where the Asura God King inherited his legacy!"

"Lu Bu of Beidou Academy, is he the successor of the Asura God King?"

"No wonder his strength is so terrifying! He has the inheritance of a God-King!"

"Severing cause and effect, shattering the laws, judging the gods, this... this is simply defying the heavens!"

"..."

Countless forces have once again come to realize just how profound the foundation of Beidou Academy truly is!
Not only does Dean Lu Xiao possess the mysterious and unpredictable Origin Heavenly Wheel, but Lu Bu is also the successor of the Asura God King, wielding the super artifact Asura Demon Sword!
This strength has surpassed everyone's understanding!
……

The city of killing.

Lu Bu, who was taking the test, was wearing dark red armor and holding a dark red demonic sword with a blood-red light flowing across its blade. It was the Asura Demonic Sword.

He looked at the fully revealed phantom of the demonic sword in the sky, and the lines of blood-red text, and a rare smile appeared on his resolute face.

"The Asura Demon Sword, fourth place, not bad."

Lu Bu muttered to himself, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

He could clearly feel that the seal on the Asura Demon Sword in his hand had loosened a little more after the Heavenly Reward descended!
That vast, abyss-like, and murderous power is slowly awakening deep within the sword!
Lu Bu lightly swung his demonic sword!
"Buzz!"

A crimson sword aura shot into the sky, tearing a dark rift hundreds of feet long in the space it passed through.

Countless tiny fragments of laws could be vaguely seen disintegrating and annihilating at the edge of the crack!
The murderous aura surrounding them instantly surged tenfold!
All the Soul Masters in the City of Slaughter felt their blood boiling and their fighting spirit soaring!

"What a sword!"

A blood-red light flashed in Lü Bu's eyes.

"Eighty percent of its power is enough to slay a god."

He withdrew his sword energy, and the demonic sword returned to calm, but the chilling aura of slaughter lingered for a long time.

……

Haotian Sect, atop the mountain.

Tang Chen looked up at the familiar Asura Demon Sword in the sky, and for the first time, deep regret and resentment appeared in his weathered eyes.

"The Asura Demon Sword, fourth in the series!"

He muttered to himself, his voice filled with endless bitterness.

"This should have been my destiny!"

He was once the inheritor of the Asura God Test, possessing extraordinary talent and hailed as a once-in-a-century genius of the Haotian Sect.

Wielding the Asura Demon Sword, he roamed the Douluo Continent with unparalleled glory! But in the end, during the eighth trial of the Asura God, he lost himself in his inner demons, was parasitized and controlled by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, and lived in a daze for decades.

Although he was saved by Tianmu, regained control of the Haotian Sect, and recovered his sanity.

But the path to godhood has been severed.

"If anyone's to blame, it's myself."

Tang Chen looked up at the sky and sighed, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"But my path, Tang Chen's path, will not end here! Without the inheritance of a divine position, I will rely on my own strength... to forge a path to godhood!"

He gripped the Haotian Hammer tightly in his hand, and faint blood-red patterns appeared on the hammer's surface.

That was the mark he left when he came into contact with the power of the Asura God.

Perhaps this mark is his last hope.

……

Star Forest, Lake of Life.

As Gu Yuena gazed at the dark red demonic sword in the sky, a clear killing intent and... apprehension surfaced in her purple eyes for the first time.

"Asura Demon Sword!"

She murmured the name softly, her voice as cold as frost.
"When the Dragon God split, the Asura God was one of the main forces. This sword is stained with the blood of countless people of my Dragon Clan."

She could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from the demonic sword, which instinctively repelled and hostile the Silver Dragon King bloodline within her.

That's hatred etched deep in our blood!

Her injuries were caused by this Asura Demon Sword!
Di Tian sensed Gu Yuena's emotions and said in a deep voice, "My lord, Lu Bu is now a member of Beidou Academy, and Beidou Academy..."

"I know."

Gu Yuena interrupted him, the killing intent in her purple eyes slowly receding.

"With the Abyss invasion underway, personal grudges should be put aside for now."

She looked towards the direction of Beidou Academy, a profound meaning flashing in her eyes: "Once everything has settled, I must break this sword with my own hands."

……

Wuhun City, Worship Hall.

As Qian Daoliu gazed at the Asura Demon Sword in the sky, a genuine sense of powerlessness appeared in his golden eyes for the first time.

"A supreme artifact, the legacy of a god-king!"

He muttered to himself, "The foundation of Beidou Academy has been strengthened once again!"

The angelic sword in his hand trembled slightly, as if in fear of that higher-ranking killing sword.

"The Grand Offering..."

An elder asked cautiously, "We..."

After a long silence, Qian Daoliu slowly said, "Let's observe the situation and not provoke Beidou Academy!"

……

Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the sky, a hint of madness and greed flashing in her purple eyes.

"The ultimate artifact, the Asura Demon Sword!"

She muttered to herself.
"If I could obtain it, no, if my Rakshasa Demon Scythe could evolve to the level of a super artifact..."

She gripped the demonic scythe tightly, the scythe wailing with vengeful spirits.

"We must accelerate the divine trial process! At all costs, I must achieve the Rakshasa Godhood before Lü Bu fully becomes a god!"

……

Just as the entire Douluo Continent was shaken by the Asura Demon Sword.

"Boom boom boom!"

Above the heavens, the third-ranked seat has finally begun to shine!
It was a pure, noble, silvery light that seemed to be able to control all elements!
