Chapter 247 Asura God's Trial
After Yang Podi removed the soul bone from Tang Chen's body, he also found a storage soul tool on him, which contained a small golden hammer, a heirloom of the Clear Sky Sect, as well as some ordinary soul master supplies.
After Yang Podi casually put these things away, he summoned a flame and burned Tang Chen's corpse to ashes.
Finally, there's the most important objective in this City of Slaughter—the Asura Demon Sword.
Yang Podi carefully examined the Asura Demon Sword.
The Asura Demon Sword is a blood-red giant sword over two meters long. Its long and broad blade is covered with dark gold demonic patterns, and the blood-red sword is filled with an extremely fierce killing aura.
What's more, unexpectedly, the Asura Demon Sword is frighteningly heavy, it looks like it weighs 108,000 jin, which is about the same as the Trident of Poseidon.
In particular, the sharp killing intent emanating from the Asura Demon Sword is somewhat similar to the Slaughter Domain used by the King of Slaughter, but it is even more powerful. As soon as you touch the sword, it feels like you are in an endless hell. Even if Yang Podi uses three domains at the same time, he cannot easily resist this powerful killing intent.
In particular, this murderous aura seems to possess the ultimate Geng metal attribute, as if it were within an infinite sword aura.
In fact, in terms of sheer strength, Yang Podi should be the strongest in the entire Douluo Continent. He now possesses a total of eleven 100,000-year spirit rings, ten of which he absorbed himself. By absorbing these spirit rings, he can greatly enhance his physical attributes, especially his strength.
Yang Podi has always been extremely fond of power-type spirit rings, which can be called the ultimate in power in the spirit master world. In fact, he has reached the pinnacle of spirit master in terms of physical fitness and other aspects.
Yang Podi even tried to lift the Trident of Poseidon. Although the Trident of Poseidon also weighed 108,000 jin, it was not a problem for Yang Podi at all.
Yang Podi gathered all his mental energy and summoned all the spirit rings of his two martial souls. His entire body turned golden. He then activated three domains at the same time and raised the power of his left and right arm spirit bones to the limit.
Finally, Yang Podi exhausted all his strength to lift the Asura Demon Sword.
Just then, the entire Asura Demon Sword emitted boundless red light, as if it were about to cover the entire world. Yang Podi felt a sense of illusion, as if he had entered a strange space.
The entire space resembled a colossal temple, with a massive throne at its center. Seated on the throne was a gigantic, blood-red figure that seemed to possess boundless divine power, almost like a god.
The crimson figure looked at Yang Podi as if he were an ant, and a majestic voice rang out: "Not bad, at such a young age you have already reached the realm of Limit Douluo, and you were able to wield the Asura Divine Sword and enter the Asura Temple without passing the Asura Trial. You are indeed exceptionally talented."
Yang Podi spoke with a face full of reverence: "Yang Podi greets Lord Asura God."
The crimson figure seemed a little puzzled: "Boy, how do you know I'm the God of Asura?"
"I would like to inform the God of Asura that the King of Slaughter once said that the City of Slaughter is the territory of the God of Asura, and that the Asura God Sword possesses power far exceeding soul power. Therefore, I suspect that you are the God of Asura."
The crimson figure nodded: "I am the Asura God, one of the five great god-kings of the divine realm, and also the enforcer of the divine law. Since you have taken up the Asura God Sword, you must wish to obtain my divine inheritance. I can grant you the Asura God Trial, but the Asura God's inheritance is a thousand times, ten thousand times more difficult than the Sea God's inheritance you have seen. Are you prepared?"
Yang Podi's face was full of determination and solemnity: "Lord Asura God, I am ready. Please grant me the Asura God Test."
The Asura God shook his head slightly: "You'd better think it over again. The Asura God is the enforcer of the divine realm. He is very strict with your strength, character, and even your stance and attitude. The previous Asura God examiner, Tang Chen, was also an unparalleled genius. He had already cultivated to level ninety-nine at a young age, but he got lost in the examination and ended up with such a tragic end. Are you prepared?"
At this moment, Yang Podi's face was filled with determination: "Lord Asura God, I am willing to do everything in my power to complete the test you set, even if it means my death."
The Asura God nodded: "Very well, since you are so determined, then I will subject you to a divine test. I hope you will not regret it."
After saying that, the huge blood-red figure of the Asura God pointed at Yang Podi, and a blood-red aura rushed directly into Yang Podi's brow. Yang Podi's entire figure seemed to be enveloped in red light, and then he left the Asura God Temple.
A voice echoed in Yang Podi's mind: "The Asura God is the God of Slaughter. Strength, courage, decisiveness, slaughter, and justice are all indispensable. I hope you will take heed."
At this moment, Yang Podi had returned to the City of Slaughter. A small, blood-red sword appeared between his eyebrows, and at the same time, a huge red light appeared in his mind, within which some characters were already displayed.
The content of the first of the Nine Trials of Asura has been revealed.
The first of the Nine Trials of Asura: Crossing the Asura Divine Light, with a one-year time limit.
Yang Podi was also puzzled. What exactly was this Asura Divine Light? Why would such a test appear?
However, after thinking about it carefully, Yang Podi realized that he should have entered the Asura Temple just now, but it was just a void. He didn't enter it on his own, but rather the Asura God summoned him. It was probably because there was an Asura Temple hidden in this City of Slaughter.
He and Tang Chen both received the same Shura Trial. Logically speaking, since Tang Chen had already completed all eight trials, he shouldn't have been stopped by Tang Chen with his current strength.
In the realm of gods, within the Temple of Asura, the Sea God and the Asura God had actually gathered together.
The Sea God seemed somewhat puzzled and asked, "God of Asura, what are you doing? Why did you give this kind of test? It's much harder than the test you gave Tang Chen back then."
The Asura God shook his head: "That's precisely why I didn't want him to repeat Tang Chen's mistakes and deliberately increased the difficulty. Besides, with this kid's talent and strength, even if the difficulty is increased, it shouldn't be a problem."
Poseidon's expression changed slightly: "Aren't you afraid that Rakshasa will take advantage of the situation by setting up this kind of assessment? Besides, your City of Slaughter is very different from your original purpose in building it."
"Sea God, isn't it normal for Rakshasa to take advantage of a weakness? Since this kid accepted my test, he shouldn't be afraid of Rakshasa, otherwise he won't pass my test."
In the City of Slaughter, Yang Podi looked at the Asura Divine Sword in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head: He was not yet able to make the Asura Divine Sword recognize him as its master, so the Asura Divine Sword was of no use to him at all, and its extremely heavy weight would only become a burden.
According to Yang Podi's estimation, Tang Chen must have completed the seventh trial of the Asura God before he could truly gain the Asura God Sword's recognition as his master and become the master of the entire Slaughter City.
As Yang Podi left, the two terrifying knights bowed directly to him, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency the New King of Slaughter."
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh: He felt relieved to have killed Tang Chen and the Crimson Nine-Headed Bat King, but now the City of Slaughter was leaderless and without the restraint of the King of Slaughter, there might be big chaos, and many normal tasks might not be able to be carried out.
Yang Podi thought carefully before speaking: "Immediately summon all law enforcement officers to see me. If they are unwilling to come, they don't need to. I will personally kill them."
The two terrifying knights became trembling with fear. Although Yang Podi's words were calm, they seemed to contain boundless killing intent, which was the ability that only a god of death could possess.
Before long, all the law enforcers in the City of Slaughter had gathered. Yang Podi was a little surprised. There were more than a thousand law enforcers, and it seemed that most of them were Soul Masters. Their strength was indeed a bit frightening.
Among these Soul Masters, many possessed extremely powerful auras. One of them had reached the Title Douluo level, and there were five or six Soul Douluo. The majority were ordinary Soul Masters at the Soul Sect level, and there were also many ordinary people with relatively strong bodies.
Yang Podi looked at the crowd and said, "From now on, I am the new King of Slaughter. I don't care whether you obey or not. You had better obey my orders unconditionally. Otherwise, I don't mind replacing the enforcers. I believe there are many among those who have fallen who want to be enforcers."
Before anyone could react, nine spirit rings appeared on Yang Podi's body, along with an awe-inspiring killing intent. Everyone seemed to be enveloped in this killing intent, as if they were surrounded by mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Some weaker Soul Masters were forced to kneel down quickly by the murderous aura: "Great King of Slaughter, we will certainly obey the King of Slaughter's orders."
As soon as these Soul Masters finished speaking, the pressure on them vanished instantly, and some even used their Soul Power to pull them to the other side, creating a stark contrast with the Soul Masters who were still kneeling.
As time went by, fewer and fewer Soul Masters remained standing, until only a few high-ranking enforcers remained, mainly Soul Masters above the Soul Saint level.
However, Yang Podi didn't tolerate them and immediately increased the pressure on them: "Submit or die."
The leading Title Douluo immediately knelt down, and most of the high-level Soul Masters also knelt down. Only a very small number of Soul Masters did not kneel down, totaling only about a hundred people.
Yang Podi didn't care about all that, nor did he have the mind to conquer them one by one; his time was precious right now.
With a casual wave of his hand, Yang Podi unleashed countless spear lights from his Soul-Breaking Spear, instantly killing the standing Soul Masters as a warning to others.
The other Soul Masters turned pale instantly, their faces filled with terror. They had seen fierce people before, but they never imagined Yang Podi would be so ruthless, instantly killing nearly a hundred people. He didn't even give them a chance simply because they refused to submit.
Yang Podi addressed the remaining personnel, saying, "I have no time to manage you. Just remember to do as I say."
"The entire Killing City will continue to operate according to the existing rules for now. If changes are necessary, I will issue specific orders. I hope today will be my first and last time killing someone. Whether they are traitors or disloyalists, I will not hesitate to kill them. Also, immediately execute those law enforcers who did not come today. I have no need for disobedient people."
Immediately afterward, Yang Podi addressed the only Title Douluo present: "You will temporarily take the lead in handling minor matters in the City of Slaughter, including killing those who were absent earlier. If any trouble arises in the City of Slaughter, I will hold you solely responsible."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, he left immediately. The City of Slaughter already had its own rules and systems, and these systems had been in place for tens of thousands of years, so there was no need to change them for the time being.
Yang Podi searched the entire City of Slaughter carefully, but still could not find the so-called location of the Asura Divine Light.
At this moment, Yang Podi thought to himself: What on earth is this Asura God doing? He didn't even give me a hint. Does he really need to spend a long time just to find the Asura God?
I've been thinking about how to design the Asura God Trial. This first trial could allow the protagonist to comprehend the Asura Domain. Also, everyone feels that the protagonist isn't decisive enough in killing, and this Asura God Trial should be the starting point for that change.
