Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 295 Divine Servant, Tragedy

Upon entering the crimson hall, Mu Yang and his companion were immediately drawn to a colossal statue over fifty meters tall standing within.

The statue has a resolute face, wears dark red armor with demonic patterns, and holds a broad, thick sword that is entirely blood red and covered with dark gold demonic patterns. It stands in the empty hall, exuding an indescribable majesty.

Logically speaking, the dark red magic-patterned armor and the blood-red dark gold magic-patterned greatsword should both represent an evil god who is associated with slaughter and bloodshed.

Strangely, this statue does not give people any sense of evil. On the contrary, it makes people subconsciously feel that it is a righteous deity who maintains order, judges evil, and stops killing with killing.

"It really is the Asura statue!"

Looking at the majestic statue before him, Mu Yang thought to himself.

"Mu Yang, is this the deity behind the City of Slaughter?"

After looking her over, Shui Bing'er asked in a low voice.

"Um."

Mu Yang nodded slightly.

Just then, a sudden change occurred. The doors of the blood-red hall closed, and a beam of white light surged out from between the eyebrows of the statue, landing not far in front of it.

The white light instantly spread, forming an oval-shaped white light curtain, exactly like the exit from the Hell Road.

Upon seeing this, Mu Yang and his companion's expressions changed, and they became more vigilant.

"Welcome, trial participants!"

Soon, ripples appeared on the white light screen, accompanied by a deep voice, and a tall human figure emerged from behind the light screen.

Who are you?

Stepping forward and shielding Shui Bing'er behind him, Mu Yang stared at the human figure emerging from the white light curtain and asked in a deep voice.

This figure is not 'human,' at least not a pure human.

Standing nearly three meters tall, he wore a dark gold robe, but his body, as black as rock, was exposed outside the clothing, making him resemble a rock monster.

Although Mu Yang couldn't sense any powerful aura from this figure, he was certain that this 'rock monster' of unknown race and origin was definitely not weak.

"My God has given me the name: Shang, who is my God's servant on earth."

"Shang" replied.

I understand. These are high priests of gods like Qiandaoliu and Poseidon.

"Junior Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er greet senior."

The two bowed and greeted each other.

Waving his hand, 'Shang' continued, "The City of Slaughter is a testing ground set up by my god in the mortal realm. Its purpose is to select a successor who can inherit my god's mantle. Trialers, are you ready?"

If you are not prepared, I will let you leave since this is your first time here, and you can come back when you are ready.

However, once the test set by our god begins, if you fail to complete it within the time limit, your only fate is death!

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying aura emanated from Shang, enveloping Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er.

In an instant, Mu Yang and his companion felt as if they had fallen into an inescapable hell, and a strong sense of death rose in their hearts, as if they had been targeted by an extremely ferocious beast.

Fortunately, the aura of 'Shang' was only fleeting, and it immediately returned to its original harmless appearance, except for its face.

However, in that very short moment, fine beads of cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of both of them due to the terrifying aura emanating from 'Shang'.

"A demigod? At least a demigod!"

Mu Yang silently marveled at the strength of "Shang".

Sure enough, none of those who can become servants of the gods are easy to mess with; they have at least reached the pinnacle of the human realm, and it is possible that they have already broken through to level 100.

It can be said that, without the combination of battle armor and spirit fusion skill, their current levels of 80 and 70 are no different from ants in front of 'Shang', whose strength is at least demigod.

"Senior, we are ready."

He bowed slightly and said in a deep voice.

"very good!"

Nodding, 'Shang' approached the majestic statue and respectfully bowed.

A dark red energy beam shot out and entered the statue. In the blink of an eye, the statue seemed to come back to life, emitting a faint dark red halo.

After activating the statue, Shang turned and said, "You two stand before my god's statue."

Mu Yang and the other person did as instructed and came to the statue.

Then, Shang knelt on one knee, his face full of piety, and said, "Great Asura God, the trial taker has arrived. Please descend and conduct the test."

Is this deity named Asura God?

Shui Bing'er thought to herself.

The next second, two dazzling blood-red beams of light surged out from the Asura God statue, landing on Mu Yang and the other person respectively, enveloping their figures.

Meanwhile, in the God Realm, far away from Douluo Continent.

Inside the majestic, dark red temple, a towering figure seated on the throne opened his divine eyes. His gaze pierced through space, and the scene within the blood-red hall of the Slaughter City came into view.

"Young man, we look forward to your performance. The unknown and chaotic world—what kind of scenery will it hold?"

With the arrival of the chosen successor, the towering figure seemed to see a glimpse of the near future, of breaking free from the 'cage' and exploring the unknown world.

Indeed, the God King position, which ordinary Soul Masters, and even transmigrators like Mu Yang, desperately desire, is no different from a cage for a figure who has already achieved supreme power.

Only by passing on his divine position could he explore the unknown world.

Of course, this does not mean that the position of God King restricts him from leaving the Douluo Universe. Rather, as the maintainer of order in the God Realm, his majestic figure has the responsibility and obligation to cultivate new maintainers of order to ensure that the God Realm and even the entire universe will not fall into chaos because of his departure.

Similarly, the unknown world is bound to be accompanied by unknown dangers, and he needs an excellent successor to carry on his legacy.

The transmission of knowledge from master to apprentice is nothing more than this.

The dark red light emanating from the statue enveloped Mu Yang and Shui Bing'er, pulling their consciousness into an unknown place. A majestic figure surrounded by dark red light appeared in their sight.

"My name is Shura!"

A majestic voice rang out, accompanied by a pointed finger. A golden-red stream of light entered the space between their brows, and then the world shattered, their consciousness returning to reality.

Soon, the dark red light enveloping the two dissipated.

Suddenly, a brilliant red light emanated from Shui Bing'er's body, which then solidified into eight red light curtains that surrounded the top of Shui Bing'er's head.

Of these eight red light curtains, only the first one was lit; the other seven were dim in color, as if they were sealed.

Finally, the eight beams of light merged into one, transforming into a red stream of light that entered Shui Bing'er's brow, leaving a red eight-pointed star mark there.
