Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Mysterious Heavy Ruler

Chapter 72 The Nine Trials of Asura

While Xiao Yi was absorbing the soul ring, in the God Realm, at the Asura Temple.

Inside the Temple of Asura, the God of Asura was observing the various planes.

Suddenly, he sensed his divine power emanating from the Douluo Continent.

"Hmm? What's going on?" the Asura God muttered to himself.

Then, the God of Asura switched to the Douluo Continent dimension.

"Hmm? This kid became a Soul Saint so quickly? That's too fast." Asura God said, watching Xiao Yi absorb the divinely bestowed soul ring.

There are geniuses in Douluo Continent, such as the Sea God who ascended to the God Realm ten thousand years ago, but the seventeen-year-old Soul Saint is the most talented person He has ever seen.

"Should we spare some divine power to arrange a divine test for him?" the Asura God murmured.

Then the Asura God looked outside, and saw no one.

Then, the God of Asura pointed his finger, and a wisp of red divine power drifted down from the God Realm and landed on Xiao Yi.

Within Xiao Yi's spiritual world, a red power entered his spiritual sea.

Xiao Yi was initially bewildered, but then he felt that this power was very familiar, and it felt the same as his Killing God Domain.

After a while, the red power condensed into a human form.

The man's body was enveloped in dark red magic patterns, surrounded by dark red light. He had a pair of blood-red eyes and exuded a cold aura formed from tangible killing intent. His overall appearance was extremely domineering.

The man was wearing a suit of armor covered in dark red magic patterns.

"This is... the Asura God?" Xiao Yi almost immediately recognized the figure upon seeing it.

"May I ask what brings you to my spiritual sea, senior?" Although Xiao Yi had guessed his identity, he still pretended not to know.

"I am the Asura God of the God Realm, a member of the God Realm Committee of the Douluo God Realm, and I jointly wield great power in the God Realm with the God of Kindness, the God of Evil, the God of Destruction, and the Goddess of Life."

"The deities in the divine realm are divided into three levels of gods, two levels of gods, one level of gods, five great god-kings, and three enforcers."

"Among them are eighteen first-level gods, and several second-level and third-level gods."

"I, the God of Asura, am one of the five great God Kings and also the God of Law Enforcement. After I took notice of you, I gave you a God-given Soul Ring, thinking that I would give you a divine test when you became a Soul Saint. I didn't expect that you would reach level 70 in just one year in the mortal realm."

"I've come to begin your divine test; I hope you won't disappoint me."

Then, the Asura God's divine power transformed into nine cards.

"The first of the Nine Trials of Asura has been completed. Passing the Hell Road and obtaining the Killing God Domain has been completed. Reward: two levels of soul power, soul ring age increased by five hundred years, and Asura God affinity increased by five percent."

A cold voice echoed in Xiao Yi's mind, and then he came to his senses.

After waking up, Xiao Yi discovered that his first spirit ring had turned purple, and his seventh spirit ring was 100,000 years old.

Furthermore, his soul power reached level 74.

Most importantly, Xiao Yi now has a dark red sword mark between his eyebrows.

Before leaving, the Asura God told him how to hide the inheritance mark, so Xiao Yi simply hid it, since it's better to keep your wealth secret.

Moreover, after absorbing the spirit ring, the weight of the Xuanzhong Ruler reached 30,000 jin, which is about 15 tons.

Just as Xiao Yi was overjoyed, another voice echoed in his mind.

"The second of the Nine Trials of Asura: If you are promoted to Soul Douluo within three years, you will be rewarded with a two-level increase in Soul Power, a one-thousand-year increase in the age of your Soul Rings, and a five percent increase in your affinity with the Asura God."

After hearing the content of the second test, Xiao Yi felt it was a bit easy. At his current speed, he could probably reach the Soul Douluo level in about two years. Unfortunately, he didn't know that the later tests would become more and more torturous, especially the fifth and sixth tests.

He then went out of the house and said to Dugu Bo, "Grandpa, I'm all better now, you can take it down."

"It's been half a month since you absorbed the spirit ring, and I'm worried something might have happened to you," Dugu Bo said irritably.

"Well... there was a little accident along the way, and besides, my seventh spirit ring is 100,000 years old." Xiao Yi said as he showed off his spirit ring.

Seven soul rings, one purple, one purple, one black, one black, one black, and one red, swirled around Xiao Yi's body.

"Hmm? How did your first spirit ring change? I remember it was supposed to be a hundred years old?" Dugu Bo asked, looking at Xiao Yi's spirit ring with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm~ that was an accident. The change in the soul ring was because I accepted the Asura God Trial." Xiao Yi explained the reason to Dugu Bo.

"The Asura God is one of the five great god-kings of the god realm. It can be said that if I continue to cultivate step by step, I will become a god sooner or later."

"The Divine Trial? I heard that those who pass the Divine Trial and become gods will live forever. I don't know if it's true or not. Don't leave Yanyan behind when you become a god." When Dugu Bo heard that Xiao Yi had passed the Divine Trial, his first thought was not of himself, but of his granddaughter.

"It's alright, Grandpa. Before the God of Asura left, he told me that there are other divine inheritances on the continent. I will take Yanzi with me, and I will also take you with me," Xiao Yi assured Dugu Bo.

"Haha, I'm getting old. All I want now is for you and Yan Yan to give me a great-grandson. That would be enough for me," Dugu Bo said with a sigh.

Then, a ripple of emotion stirred within Dugu Bo.

"Back then, Yan Yan's parents passed away early, when she was only two or three years old. Our lovely little granddaughter was just a tiny little thing, and we raised her with love and care. Now, Yan Yan is almost ready to get married. Time really flies," Dugu Bo thought to himself.

"If I hadn't been interested in Xiao Yi when he first came to Heaven Dou City, I wouldn't have been able to expel the toxins, and my soul power wouldn't have reached such a high level, nor would my martial soul have evolved. Even now, I'm still glad I made that decision back then."

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Dugu Yan's voice came from that moment.

Dugu Yan would come to see Xiao Yi almost every now and then, and every time she came, Xiao Yi would patiently stay with her.

"It's nothing, just reflecting on the changes we've seen in the last few years," Dugu Bo said, patting Dugu Yan's head.

Nineteen-year-old Dugu Yan had long since shed her youthful innocence and become increasingly charming. Her curvaceous figure was pleasing to the eye, her slender waist was so small that it could be wrapped in one hand, and her long legs were shapely yet supple. In particular, her breasts were so large that they could not be grasped with one hand.

.........

Back to the present, Xiao Yi was thinking about how to break through to the third realm. Was he too tense and needed to go outside to take a look?

Since awakening his martial soul, he has been either cultivating or on the path to cultivation. Even now, with the divine test approaching, it's still the same. Therefore, he has decided to relax for a while.

"Xiao Yi, what are you thinking about?" At this moment, Dugu Yan arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

"I feel like I've been working too hard on my nerves all these years, and I want to relax for a while," Xiao Yi said.

"You've finally figured it out. I really don't understand why you only cultivate every day and never have time for me." Dugu Yan complained while hugging Xiao Yi's arm.

After hearing Dugu Yan's words, Xiao Yi realized that he had been with her for four years, but he had only spent a handful of time with her, and they had even been separated for more than a year of that time.

"Come on, what are you thinking about? Come shopping with me." Dugu Yan hugged Xiao Yi's arm and said coquettishly.

"Okay, I'll go shopping with you." Xiao Yi smiled gently and followed Dugu Yan.
