Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 178 The First Test of the Asura God

"But I don't want to give up my Sun Martial Soul, I want to create my own godhood... As far as I know, one person cannot bear two godhoods, so please allow me to refuse!"

After thinking it over, Xu Yang decided to give up the position of Asura God. Although the Asura God was very strong and one of the five great god kings of the god realm, he had cultivated for so many years and had even formed a golden core in his body. His state of mind and pursuits were no longer what they were when he first transmigrated. The position of Asura God was no longer as tempting as before.

Moreover, he had a feeling that if he chose to inherit the position of the Asura God now, his future cultivation would come to an end. Therefore, he chose to follow his heart and not inherit the position of the Asura God, so as not to betray his efforts in cultivating to his current level.

"Are you sure?!" The God of Asura was increasingly satisfied with Xu Yang, but he still asked again.

"Confirmed!" Xu Yang nodded.

"What if I had a way to let you create your own godhood while also maintaining the Asura godhood?!" the Asura god asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang looked at the Asura God in disbelief. Since the Asura God had already said this, it meant that he really had a way to allow Xu Yang to inherit the Asura God position while simultaneously creating his own, rather than just making empty promises and tempting him to inherit the Asura God position.

Xu Yang originally thought that Tang San's dual-god coexistence...
However, achieving this level of power undoubtedly comes at a considerable cost. But possessing two divine positions simultaneously makes the price bearable.

"If Your Majesty the God of Asura really has a way to allow me to possess two divine positions at the same time, I am willing to inherit the divine position!" Since he could obtain the Asura divine position while maintaining his self-created divine position, Xu Yang naturally would not refuse. After all, it would be foolish to refuse such a good thing that had come his way.

"Very good!" The Asura God nodded in satisfaction, and then the crimson world shattered along with the Asura God.

When Xu Yang returned to reality, a pattern of the Asura Demon Sword appeared between his eyebrows, and a scarlet light screen appeared in front of him, on which were written the requirements of the first test.

"The first test of the Asura God: Transform your primordial spirit with the will to kill and the true meaning of the sun."

The content seems very simple, but it is actually very difficult, because transforming the primordial spirit with two kinds of true meaning can easily make the primordial spirit impure and affect one's potential. The only solution is to merge the two kinds of true meaning into a new true meaning that takes into account both kinds of true meaning.

"Yang'er, are you alright?! What was that beam of light just now?!"

Just as Xu Yang was pondering how to merge the two true meanings, Chen Xin led Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and others into the secluded cultivation room. As soon as they entered, Ning Fengzhi asked with a worried expression. At this moment, the others also noticed the changes in Xu Yang, especially the pattern of the Asura Demon Sword between his eyebrows, which was too conspicuous.

"This is the mark of divine succession!"

As successors of the three upper sects and the Seven Kill Sword, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin also knew some things about the inheritance of divine positions. When they saw the mark of the Asura Demon Sword, they thought of the legends about the gods.

Before Xu Yang could answer, Ning Fengzhi asked again, "Yang'er, have you received the inheritance of a godhood?!"

"Yes!" Xu Yang nodded and smiled, "I obtained the Asura Godhood because I previously ventured into the City of Slaughter and obtained the God of Slaughter Domain. Now that my cultivation has met the requirements, the Asura God has descended to test me!"

“Asura God, Slaughter City!” Ning Fengzhi repeated, and said in a deep voice, “I once saw in an ancient book in the sect that the Slaughter City is the testing ground of the Evil God. Everyone who passes through the Slaughter City will be the inheritor of the Evil God. I didn’t expect it to be true. There really is a divine position inheritance inside.”

Although Ning Fengzhi didn't know what level of god the Asura God was, a god is a god, and even the lowest-level god was beyond the reach of a soul master. "Good! Good! This is wonderful!"

Ning Fengzhi patted Xu Yang's shoulder excitedly. He was genuinely happy for Xu Yang, and their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was finally about to produce a god-level expert. Chen Xin and Gu Rong beside him also looked gratified.

"If I had known that clearing the Killing Realm would grant me a divine inheritance, I would have gone and tried it too. Maybe I could have become a god by now?" Gu Rong joked.

"You! You're lucky you didn't die in the City of Slaughter! The City of Slaughter has existed for countless years, and at least ten people have passed through it! But how many of them became gods or passed the test of the God of Asura? None of them!"

"Isn't all this because our Yang'er is so outstanding that he was chosen by the God of Asura? Does anyone else have that kind of talent?!" Upon hearing this, Chen Xin rolled her eyes and retorted irritably.

"Old Swordsman, don't think you're so great just because your soul power has broken through level 99. If you push me too far, I'll fight you to the death, you believe me?!"

"Come on, try and fight me! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?!"

"..."

Seeing that the two were about to turn his place into a martial arts training ground, Xu Yang quickly stepped forward to stop them and said with a smile, "Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, give Yang'er some face."

"Hmph, I'll give Yang'er face this time and not stoop to your level, you old swordsman!" Gu Rong snorted coldly, taking the opportunity Xu Yang offered. Nowadays, he generally doesn't spar with Chen Xin, for one reason only: he can't beat him.

He also wanted to break through, but even with the method to condense a second soul core, his soul power was stuck at level ninety-eight and he could not break through. This frustrated him greatly. For so many years, he had been suppressed by Chen Xin, and he was unhappy about it no matter how he thought about it.

Chen Xin rolled his eyes, ignored Gu Rong, and turned to look at Xu Yang. He could tell that Xu Yang had something to ask him.

"Grandpa Sword, I need your help!"

Xu Yang didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. If there was anyone in the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who could still help him with his cultivation, it was only Chen Xin. Chen Xin had immersed himself in the Seven Kill Sword Intent for many years and had a thorough understanding of the power of will. Compared to Xu Yang, who hadn't cultivated for many years, he was far superior. Perhaps Chen Xin had a way to help him fuse the two true intents and transform them into a new one.

"What?! You say you want to merge the killing intent you've comprehended with the true meaning of the sun?!"

After Ning Fengzhi and the others left, Xu Yang told Chen Xin his thoughts, and Chen Xin was shocked.

"Do you know what you're saying?! The Will to Slaughter and the True Meaning of the Sun are two completely unrelated paths. How could they possibly merge?! This isn't like fire or light, which are similar paths. Merging them is extremely difficult, almost impossible!"

“Grandpa Sword, I understand what you’re saying. But my first test as the God of Asura is to transform my soul into a primordial spirit using the true intent of slaughter and the true intent of the sun. In order to maintain the purity of the primordial spirit, I must fuse the two true intents.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang gave a wry smile and explained that since he could inherit another divine position, he absolutely could not give it up. After speaking, Xu Yang condensed a wisp of soul power in his hand, attached his spiritual power to it, and transmitted the method of primordial spirit transformation into Chen Xin's mind.
