Douluo Continent: This Soul Master is Too Bizarre and Unpredictable

Chapter 297 Asura Secret Realm

Inside the blood-red hall.

Mu Yang looked inward into his own sea of ​​consciousness and saw nine golden-red light screens appearing beneath the radiant moon that symbolized his spiritual power cultivation.

Among the nine golden-red light screens, one of them had clear and mysterious characters on it, while the remaining eight light screens were slightly dim and their details were not clearly visible.

—The first test of Asura: Domain mastery; master the God of Slaughter Domain, time limit: half a year.

"Mastering the God of Slaughter Domain? Isn't this just a freebie?"

Having clearly understood the requirements of the first test, Mu Yang thought to himself.

If nothing unexpected happens, once he and Shui Bing'er have mastered the Killing God Domain to the same extent, they should be able to reach the level of mastery required for the Divine Examination, right?

But you know what, this test was a freebie for him, but if it were someone else, especially someone who had just obtained the God of Slaughter Domain, they would most likely fail.

"Bing'er, what is your assessment?"

Opening his eyes, Mu Yang asked Shui Bing'er.

"Master the God of Slaughter Domain within a year."

Shui Bing'er said with a smile.

A year?

Mu Yang nodded to himself.

As expected, the higher the assessment level, the greater the specific difficulty of the assessment.

Although the requirements are the same—mastering the God of Slaughter Domain—he was given only half the time limit that Shui Bing'er had, which indirectly increased the difficulty.

Hmm... perhaps in the eyes of the God of Asura, he is the main character of the test, while Shui Bing'er is just a bonus? No need to ask for too much?

"Senior, what are the standards for mastering the God of Slaughter Domain? How is the assessment conducted to verify whether the test has been completed?"

Pulling his scattered thoughts back, Mu Yang bowed and asked 'Shang'.

Shang bowed to Mu Yang and explained, "Your Highness, you are the successor chosen by the God of Asura, so you do not need to bow to me from now on."

As for the assessment, it will be completed within the Asura Secret Realm. Whether the assessment is completed or not will be determined by the divine statue left by the Asura God.

The Asura Secret Realm is an independent secret realm space attached to Douluo Star.

"Douluo Star?"

Shui Bing'er grasped a key point and couldn't help but ask.

She lives in the world of Douluo Continent, so why would the senior "Shang" before her call it Douluo Star? What is a star? A star?

Could it be that the stars hanging in the night sky are worlds like Douluo Continent?

"Trial seeker, the world we live in is far larger than you can imagine."

The world as you know it, excluding the vast ocean, is collectively known as Douluo Continent.

The Douluo Continent, together with the vast ocean, several large landmasses similar to the Douluo Continent, and countless islands, together constitute Douluo Star.

The reason it is called a star is because Douluo Star is a sphere.

As for the world outside Douluo Star, it's meaningless to you for now. You'll naturally understand it when you break through the boundary between mortals and gods in the future.

"Shang" gave Shui Bing'er a little lesson.

Is our world a sphere?

Shui Bing'er stared wide-eyed, her face filled with disbelief.

If the Douluo Continent beneath her feet is part of a 'sphere', wouldn't the continent and ocean on the other side of the sphere really fall off?

"Shang" smiled but did not answer the question. Instead, he said, "Your Highness, trial participant, please follow me."

With that, 'Shang' made a gesture of invitation, then turned and entered the white light curtain leading to the Asura Secret Realm.

They exchanged a glance, and Mu Yang and his companion followed.

The Asura Secret Realm was very different from what Mu Yang had imagined.

Passing through the white light curtain, Mu Yang and his companion appeared on a mountaintop. Looking ahead, what came into view was no longer the dark and oppressive world of the Killing City, but rather blue sky, white clouds, and forest.

Even in the far distance of the horizon, there are snow-capped mountains and the ocean.

Turning his gaze back to the present, Mu Yang saw that the two of them were standing in a wide square.

The plaza, paved with black bricks three feet square, is quite spacious, covering at least tens of thousands of square meters. Apart from a few dark-looking buildings built around the edge of the plaza, only a Shura statue, several tens of meters high, stands in the center of the wide plaza.

"Your Highness, trial participants, this is the Asura Secret Realm."

The sound of "Sorrow" drew Mu Yang and the other person's attention away from their surroundings.

"Senior, I see quite a few soul beasts still living in the secret realm?"

Sensing numerous soul energy auras of varying strength within the forest below the mountain, Mu Yang couldn't help but ask.

"Of course there are soul beasts within the secret realm, and besides soul beasts, there are also some exotic beasts from another world."

"Shang" nodded.

"Are these strange beasts from another world?"

Mu Yang raised an eyebrow, then eagerly asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the strange beasts that Bing'er and I encountered in Hell Road were those you released, senior? I wonder if there are any suitable strange beasts for Bing'er within the secret realm?"

Beasts are valuable, at least the two he had encountered were.

The inner cores of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent and the Flood Dragon Beast respectively awakened the martial soul talent domains of Huo Wu and Huo Wushuang after they were refined.

If there were an ice beast that was compatible with Shui Bing'er, it might be possible to awaken Shui Bing'er's martial soul talent domain. Moreover, the inner core could also be used as a soul ring, just like Ma Hongjun in the original work.

If the beast is strong enough, it may be possible to obtain a 100,000-year soul ring after refining it.

"Your Highness, there aren't many strange beasts in the secret realm, and there are no ice-attribute beasts."

"Shang" shook his head, then continued, "Although there are no ice-attribute beasts, the Asura Secret Realm has existed for a long time, and apart from the previous trial participants, no one else has come to hunt souls."

Over the years, there have been many soul beasts in the secret realm whose cultivation levels have reached 100,000 years.

Although most of them had perished under the heavenly tribulation, there were still two soul beasts aged 100,000 years or more remaining in the secret realm. One of them was the overlord who occupied the distant snow mountain: the 100,000-year-old Ice Phoenix.

As he spoke, "Shang" pointed to the towering snow-capped mountain in the far distance.

"Senior, Bing'er's martial soul is the Ice Phoenix, and she has just reached level 70. She needs to advance her soul rings. I wonder..."

Mu Yang said hesitantly.

The Ice Phoenix mutated from the Fire Phoenix. Although the Ice Luan and the Ice Phoenix are not completely the same species, they are very similar and rare. According to scholars, the Ice Luan is suspected to be a mild variant of the Ice Phoenix soul beast. Not only are their attributes the same, but their bloodlines also come from the same source.

Therefore, for Shui Bing'er, excluding the factor of the year, the Ice Phoenix Soul Ring is not much worse than the Ice Phoenix Soul Ring and the Divine Gift Soul Ring.

"The soul beasts and exotic beasts in the secret realm are all used by the examinees to train and improve their strength. Except for the area within the sacred mountain beneath our feet where fighting is prohibited, the rest of the place is a place where the strong prey on the weak."

"Shang" said calmly.
