Douluo: Martial Soul Asura Sword, Supreme Killing God

To this day, Su Mo has been here for a full year, and has experienced a full year of trials and tribulations.

After a year of rigorous training, his physical condition has improved significantly, and the destructive power within him has also been greatly enhanced.

In the Domain of Destruction, the lightning containing the essence of destruction not only tempers Su Mo's body, but the essence of destruction contained within it is also absorbed by his second martial soul, the Staff of Destruction, and transformed into his own source power.

A year ago, he had to grit his teeth and endure those wrathful attacks, and his body would get injured.

But now, when those lightning bolts struck Su Mo, he felt no pain at all, nor was he injured. He even felt a sense of resonance.

Just then, the vast expanse of purplish-black lightning quietly dissipated.

The raging thunderclouds in the sky gradually returned to their initial calm, with only occasional flashes of purplish-black lightning emitting a low rumble.

Suddenly, Su Mo opened his eyes, a purple light flashing within them.

He exhaled a long breath, which contained a few wisps of purplish-black electric arcs that instantly dissipated into the air.

Su Mo felt his own condition, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and he muttered to himself: "Although this assessment is torturous, the effect is really amazing. A year of hard training was worth it."

Just then, the voice of the God of Destruction boomed in his mind, deep and majestic:

"Seventh Trial of Destruction, tempering of the power of destruction, passed. Reward: 90% Destruction Affinity. Considering the examinee possesses twin martial souls, an additional divinely bestowed soul ring is awarded."

As soon as he finished speaking, the purplish-black scepter mark on Su Mo's forehead suddenly lit up.

A streak of purplish-black light shot out from the mark, hovering in front of him, transforming into a divinely bestowed soul ring.

Su Mo chuckled and muttered to himself, "The Destruction Affinity actually increased by 90%? That's more than the normal cumulative increase from the first six tests."

It seems... although I only have three assessments, their value is much higher than others' nine.

Su Mo's idea was indeed quite good.

Considering his current cultivation level, the God of Destruction only lowered the requirements of the test by three points. However, even the seventh test alone was difficult for ordinary people to complete.

Normally, although the nine tests also involve enduring the baptism of destructive power, their intensity is far less than what Su Mo has experienced in the past year.

In fact, this was also the God of Destruction's way of ensuring that Su Mo, even if he only passed the three tests, could fully withstand the power of destruction and thus inherit the position of God of Destruction.

At this moment, Su Mo raised his hand and took the divinely bestowed soul ring. After pondering for a moment, he quickly made up his mind.

He planned to go out after absorbing all the spirit rings.

Su Mo unleashed his second martial soul, the Destruction Scepter.

In an instant, a chilling aura of destruction spread.

The current Scepter of Destruction is even more terrifying than when it was first formed, and the scepter itself is more refined and profound.

"Even your aura has become stronger." Su Mo examined the scepter in his hand, a look of satisfaction in his eyes. "It seems that the source of destruction you absorbed over the past year has completely transformed you."

It is worth mentioning that during the year in the Domain of Destruction, the Scepter of Destruction continuously absorbed the source of destruction and even awakened its own innate domain, the Domain of Destruction.

Within its domain, it can suppress the enemy's overall strength by 30% and enhance its own abilities by 30%.

In addition, it also has a mental suppression effect, which can suppress the enemy's mental power by 30% and enhance one's own mental power.

Furthermore, the area was filled with endless lightning, each bolt containing destructive power, making it extremely terrifying.

"Let's absorb the spirit ring first," Su Mo muttered to himself.

Without further hesitation, he exerted a slight force in his palm and crushed the divinely bestowed soul ring.

The divinely bestowed soul ring shattered, transforming into a shower of golden light that surged into his body.

Su Mo closed his eyes again and began to absorb the soul ring.

With Su Mo's current strength, even if he were to absorb a ferocious beast soul ring, it wouldn't take too long, let alone a divinely bestowed soul ring.

Just a few days later, Su Mo successfully attached the first 100,000-year soul ring to the Scepter of Destruction.

At the same time, his soul power also successfully broke through to level ninety-nine.

Of course, the energy of a mere 100,000-year soul ring is not enough for a level 98 Title Douluo to cross that insurmountable barrier.

The breakthrough was largely due to the assessments conducted this year.

While he was being tempered by the power of destruction, his cultivation speed was also greatly increased.

After a year of cultivation, his soul power was already close to level ninety-nine.

Now, with the power of this 100,000-year-old soul ring, everything fell into place, and he finally reached the pinnacle of this continent.

Su Mo let out a long breath and got up to stretch his limbs, which had been stiff for a long time.

Over the past year, he has only taken a short break every two months to replenish his energy.

Relaxing at this moment gives me the illusion of being reborn.

Suddenly, he felt a chill. He looked down at his naked body, paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled, "This assessment really wore out my clothes."

His original clothes had long been reduced to dust by the raging lightning, and the clothes he changed into later were also to no avail, turning to dust as well. After that, he simply stopped changing, since there was no one else around anyway.

Collecting his thoughts, Su Mo took out a brand new set of clothes from his soul tool and changed into them. Then, with a thought, he began to examine the contents of the Eighth Trial of Destruction.

The eighth test of destruction is to gain recognition from the supreme artifact, the Scepter of Destruction.

According to the clues, the Scepter of Destruction is also in this space.

"Why don't we get the Scepter of Destruction first, and then complete the sixth trial of Asura?" Su Mo muttered to himself. "Anyway, there are still a few months left. It's just two soul bones, so there's plenty of time."

With this in mind, Su Mo no longer hesitated. In a flash, he transformed into a streak of light and sped toward the location of the Scepter of Destruction.

Before long, he arrived at the foot of a mountain.

The mountain soared into the clouds, its summit shrouded in thick thunderclouds, making it impossible to see anything on top with the naked eye.

According to the clues, the Scepter of Destruction is located on that mountain peak.

To gain the approval of the ultimate artifact, the Scepter of Destruction, one must first reach the mountaintop.

However, this is not an easy task.

To reach the summit, one must first withstand the terrifying, destructive lightning.

This is even more terrifying than the seventh trial that Su Mo experienced before, because the examinee has to face the depths of the thunderclouds!

At the foot of the mountain, Su Mo took a deep breath and resolutely headed up the mountain.

Chapter 197 The Scepter of Destruction

The Realm of Destruction.

Su Mo's figure instantly disappeared into the raging thunderclouds.

The next instant, the thick thunderclouds suddenly surged and boiled, countless bolts of purplish-black lightning tore through the clouds, carrying a terrifying power capable of annihilating everything, blocking Su Mo's path forward.

Moreover, each bolt of lightning contained terrifying destructive power, intended to annihilate everything and prevent anyone from reaching the summit.

Even a peerless Douluo would be extremely likely to be reduced to dust if he rashly entered this sea of ​​lightning.

However, Su Mo, who was in the center of the sea of ​​lightning, remained calm and composed.

The violent lightning bolts kept striking Su Mo, but they couldn't stop him in the slightest.

After all, he had undergone a full year of hellish trials, and his affinity with the God of Destruction had reached 90%. At this moment, he could be considered almost a God of Destruction, and he was gradually able to control these lightning bolts.

However, the power of the current Thunder Sea far exceeds that of the seventh trial, and its power increases as you go higher, which has significantly slowed down his ascent. Nevertheless, it still cannot stop him.

Just moments later, Su Mo broke through the layers of lightning barriers, and was now only ten meters away from the mountain peak.

However, at this moment, the thunder in the sky became even more violent, and the destructive power it contained became even more terrifying, causing Su Mo's figure to freeze instantly.

His clothes were torn to shreds by the lightning once again, and his body was instantly wounded. The extreme annihilation power continued to erode his body, and excruciating pain surged like a tide, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.

Su Mo immediately felt a surge of energy, and the black-gold sword wings attached to his external soul bone suddenly unfurled.

His attributes surged instantly, the pain subsided by more than half, and his previously stagnant body became light again.

With the amplification of the external soul bone, Su Mo transformed into a streak of light, ignoring the obstruction of lightning, and soared into the sky.

Ten meters away, covered in the blink of an eye.

Su Mo successfully landed on the flat, barren mountaintop.

The raging thunderclouds beneath his feet abruptly ceased as he landed on the mountaintop, the surging purplish-black lightning quietly dissipated, and the deafening thunder fell completely silent.

As the mountaintop passed through the thunderclouds, his view instantly opened up.

On an open space not far away, the Scepter of Destruction suddenly came into view.

It is about two zhang long, with a dark purple luster flowing throughout, and the staff is covered with intricate patterns.

"Is that the Scepter of Destruction?" Su Mo murmured.

Then, he walked step by step toward the Scepter of Destruction.

But until he reached the scepter, everything remained calm and nothing unexpected happened.

Su Mo took a deep breath, immediately raised his hand, and grasped the cold, heavy handle of the scepter.

However, the moment his palm touched the scepter, something unexpected happened!

boom--!

The most dazzling purple light burst forth from the Scepter of Destruction, instantly enveloping the entire mountaintop.

At the same time, the vast and boundless power of destruction swept across the entire world, causing the surrounding space to tremble continuously.

Su Mo felt a powerful repulsive force trying to shake him back.

However, at this moment, his second martial soul, the Destruction Scepter, spontaneously materialized within him and resonated with the divine artifact, the Destruction Scepter.

Su Mo's martial soul emitted a purple light, connecting with the artifact Destruction Scepter. The two auras merged, and the repulsive force instantly weakened.

Gradually, the brilliance of the artifact, the Scepter of Destruction, faded, and the surrounding space returned to calm.

At this moment, Su Mo felt that he had established a connection with the divine artifact, the Staff of Destruction.

He immediately picked up the scepter to destroy it.

"It's a success?" Su Mo asked in disbelief.

He had expected some complications, but it turned out to be so easy.

Su Mo guessed that this was likely related to his martial soul, since the two shared the same origin, which was why he was able to easily gain the recognition of the divine artifact.
