Douluo Continent: Sword Named Star, Slaying Gods to Prove the Dao

"What kind of soul skill is that, Xingchen?" Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo outside were dumbfounded, because at this moment they could no longer sense the presence of Ning Xingchen and Poseidon.

"I hope nothing bad happens."

In this completely new space, Ning Xingchen found himself seemingly on Blue Star from his previous life, with Poseidon also present.

This is his ninth soul skill, which creates a world space for a short time, within which he has the final say in everything.

Ning Xingchen had a thought, and then the ground beneath his feet turned into a plain again.

For a moment, Poseidon could no longer sense the power of the sea god and the ocean; it seemed to be a completely independent space.

Unlike the previous Nine Treasures Profound Yellow Space, this space seems to have completely separated from the world of Douluo Continent.

Ning Xingchen wouldn't have wanted to use this soul skill if he weren't facing Poseidon.

Because once used, he will fall into a period of weakness of at least three months. During these three months, he will not be able to use his soul power, including his physical strength, and will be no different from an ordinary person.

Using only the Nine Treasures Profound Yellow Pagoda, Ning Xingchen felt that only this soul skill could defeat Poseidon within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Poseidon suddenly felt as if she had lost the power of the sea god and her own soul power.

It was as if the only scepter in her hand had become her greatest reliance.

Ning Xingchen, holding a long sword, slowly walked towards Poseidon.

"What kind of soul skill is this! You brought me to another dimension?" Poseidon said, after all, she also had the ability to send other people into another dimension, such as her sixth soul skill, Sea Burial.

Ning Xingchen said, "This is my world, and I call the shots."

“Your world?” Poseidon was completely bewildered.

Ning Xingchen said, "That's right. What I created is a world, not belonging to Douluo Continent. Although the time was short, it was enough to defeat you."

"Defeat me? So you never intended to last even the time it takes for an incense stick to burn." Poseidon suddenly realized.

"High Priest, if given the chance, I would naturally like to give it a try."

"This world restricts soul power, restricts soul skills, soul bones are ineffective, and even martial souls cannot be used; only physical strength remains."

“If I’m restricted, I think you’ll be restricted in the same way,” Poseidon said.

Ning Xingchen smiled and said, "As expected of the High Priest, you guessed the characteristics of this world right away. Indeed, I must abide by the rules I created, otherwise this world will collapse."

This skill looks somewhat similar to the eighth soul skill, but it is fundamentally completely different.

“Then let’s fight,” Poseidon said.

"can."

As soon as Ning Xingchen finished speaking, the flowers, plants and trees around him condensed into long swords in the next instant.

“You…” Poseidon looked at Ning Xingchen, speechless. She had figured out what kind of world rules Ning Xingchen had set up.

The world of emotions is a world of swordsmanship.

Countless swords flew toward Poseidon, and Poseidon could only wave his scepter to block them.

Time passed second by second, and Poseidon's physical strength began to decline, and his stamina began to fail, after all, Ning Xingchen's sword attacks were not weak.

Gradually, the longswords began to pierce Poseidon's body. When the attack of thousands of swords ended, Poseidon knelt on one knee, and placed his scepter on the ground.

"You lost."

A sword fell on Poseidon's neck.

Poseidon, who had been undefeated for so long, still lost.

“I lost, I admit defeat,” Poseidon said with a helpless expression.

"Your soul skill is absolutely the strongest I've ever seen; it's completely flawless."

She tried many methods, even communicating with the sea god, but nothing worked.

Actually, Ning Xingchen's skill isn't unbreakable. There are three ways: first, defeat him; second, destroy it from the outside; and third, endure inside for as long as possible.

After all, maintaining a small world requires a lot of his soul power.

Of course, besides these three methods that can break through his soul skill, his soul skill has another characteristic: it cannot currently trap gods.

If Poseidon had used some of the Sea God's power from the beginning, such as her ninth soul skill summoning the Sea God to act before Ning Xingchen, then his soul skill would not have been able to achieve its goal.

The moment Poseidon conceded defeat, Ning Xingchen's soul power was completely exhausted.

As space shifted, Ning Xingchen's martial spirit disappeared from the sky, and the Xuanhuang light also vanished.

Poseidon's soul power returned, while Ning Xingchen fell from the sky without any soul power to support him.

Fortunately, there was still the Star Sword. The Star Sword released by the martial soul was supported by the power of the stars. Just as Ning Xingchen was about to land, it flew past his feet and lifted him into the air again to face Poseidon once more.

"What was the result?" Bone Douluo asked.

"It seems that Xingchen's soul power is exhausted, while High Priestess Poseidon's soul power is abundant. This..." Sword Douluo couldn't understand either.

Although Poseidon's soul power was very abundant, her body seemed extremely tired.

What exactly happened?

No one knew except Ning Xingchen and Poseidon.

Looking at Ning Xingchen's condition, Poseidon said, "It seems the price you paid for this soul skill was quite high. Was it all for defeating me?"

Ning Xingchen also said directly, "That's right, defeating you is my goal this time."

“Your soul skill is very powerful; even after I was hit by it, I was helpless,” Poseidon said.

Ning Xingchen added, "I forgot to tell you something, so that you won't feel too guilty."

"What could possibly reduce my mental burden?" Poseidon asked Ning Xingchen with a puzzled look.

“When I become a god, you won’t need to make a sacrifice. I will condense a god-level soul ring myself when I reach level 100,” Ning Xingchen said.

Poseidon looked at Ning Xingchen with surprise, and after a long while said, "You already know this? You really don't need me to come?"

Ning Xingchen said, "You will continue to be your high priest."

"Good, good!" Poseidon was overjoyed. She also had unfulfilled wishes in this world, and she was indeed unwilling to sacrifice herself to a stranger.

“The time for an incense stick to burn is up,” Poseidon said, then looked up at the sky as if communicating with the sea god.

About five or six minutes later, a beam of light landed on Ning Xingchen's body.

Just as Ning Xingchen had expected, the reward for this assessment was doubled.

All of Ning Xingchen's spirit rings have been upgraded by 20,000 years, and his affinity with the Sea God has increased by 20%. Ning Xingchen's affinity with the Sea God has now reached 75%.

And his spirit rings have now changed.

The first and second spirit rings were both over 40,000 years old, the third spirit ring was close to 60,000 years old, and the fifth and sixth spirit rings also successfully broke through to over 100,000 years old.

Not only did I receive the two rewards mentioned above, but the negative effects of using the Soul Skill and the Soul Power consumed were also completely restored.

Next came Ning Xingchen's seventh test, which involved drawing the Trident of the Sea God.

"Are we going to the seventh test now?" Poseidon asked.

Ning Xingchen said, "Let's wait a little longer. I have something to do and need to go out. I'll complete this assessment in ten months."

Thanks.

Poseidon put in a great deal of effort to earn double the reward for this test and reported the truth to the sea god.

Of course, this could also be the reason why he would no longer allow Poseidon to perform sacrifices.

"Xingchen, you succeeded?" Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo both looked at Ning Xingchen in a daze.

Ning Xingchen said, "The assessment is over, but I'll have to trouble you again, Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu."

"It's alright, Xingchen, what are you saying? Just let me know if you need anything," Sword Douluo said.

“Then let’s set off immediately,” Ning Xingchen said.

Before long, Ning Xingchen stepped onto the Star Sword, and the three set off again. This time, Ning Xingchen's goal was very clear.

Two things: fulfill the promise to Bai Yu and obtain the Soul Tool. If possible, he, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo should also learn to use the Soul Tool.

Another matter is the fourth spirit ring of the Star Sword, with the target being the Evil Eye Tyrant.

She didn't disturb the other people's assessment. After all, Ning Xingchen had provided them with enough help in the past. Each of them was talented and hardworking, and she believed they could complete the assessment without her help.

……

Twenty days later!

The Star Moon Continent will likely be called the Sun Moon Continent in the future.

"Star, I never expected that there would be another continent besides our Douluo Continent," said Sword Douluo.

“Yes, Star, if you hadn’t brought us here, we might never have known in our lives,” Bone Douluo said.

"Star, are those soul tools you mentioned real? If we bring them back to the sect, then we will no longer be afraid of any power," Bone Douluo said.

Now they have their top combat power: Ning Xingchen, who can defeat Poseidon at level 99, as well as the two of them and Chen Jianjun.

Furthermore, the entire sect already has more than ten Title Douluos, and more will continue to be added in the future.

Even when facing the Spirit Hall, they have enough resources to fight back. If they also have these soul tools, their combat strength at the middle and lower levels will be even stronger.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you'll find out when we go together. Also, we mustn't reveal our identities. We're from Douluo Continent, but we're from a hidden sect on the sea, and you two are my senior uncles," Ning Xingchen instructed again.

"Okay, okay, we understand."

"Xingchen, you've said it several times along the way: although we are a bit old in terms of age, we are actually still young."

Ning Xingchen

Becoming a Title Douluo does indeed increase lifespan, and the higher one's soul power, the greater the increase.

Don't let their age fool you; Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo are both over seventy. After their repeated breakthroughs, they actually look like they're in their thirties, at the peak of their looks.

“Hey, Star, look at these cities, something’s not right. It looks like they just went through a big battle not long ago,” Sword Douluo suddenly said.

Ning Xingchen also looked down at the city that was flying by. The city walls were badly damaged, and the soldiers below were wearing different clothes than when Ning Xingchen had come before.

It is clear that war has broken out within the territory of the Duchy of White Jade, and the city has been captured.

"Uncle Jian, let's hurry to Baiyujing," Ning Xingchen said.

If Duke Baiyu were still alive, he could still be saved; but if he's already gone, then his deal is off.
