Douluo: I, the Sun God

Chapter 194 The Fifth Trial of the Asura God

After learning the content of the assessment, Xu Yang did not immediately begin the divine test. Instead, he continued to sit cross-legged within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, familiarizing himself with his new power. According to Zhao Yan and Yue Jiang, he now possessed a primordial spirit, a divine body, and divine power. Except for lacking the laws and authority comprehended by a god, he was practically a god.

Since they are already gods, they naturally have their own fighting style. They no longer rely solely on soul skills, but instead create their own unique divine skills.

……

On the other side, perhaps because of the crisis brought by Xu Yang, neither Qian Renxue nor Bibi Dong paid attention to national affairs at this moment, focusing on their own divine trials. Bibi Dong, in particular, was already undergoing her eighth trial.

The Rakshasa God is the goddess of evil thoughts. Her divine power gathers all evil, wicked thoughts, lust, hatred, murderous intent, depravity, and laziness in the world. All of these are condensed in the Rakshasa God's light. If one is not careful, one will be corrupted by evil thoughts. It is no exaggeration to say that the Rakshasa God is the most difficult god to test.

Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God, has been testing him for so many years. Moreover, she is afraid of being corrupted by evil thoughts, so she is always very careful in each test and dares not be careless in the slightest. But now she is forcibly conducting the eighth test without any certainty, which shows how strong her sense of crisis is.

In the filthy place, Bibi Dong sat cross-legged, her face contorted in pain, her eyes unfocused.

"Xiaogang! Xiaogang!..."

Bibi Dong murmured softly, her face flushed, exuding a seductive charm. Anyone present would be astonished to find that this was still the aloof and indifferent Pope.

Clearly, Bibi Dong is currently with Yu Xiaogang in the illusion created by the Rakshasa God's test.

Meanwhile, at the Angel Temple, Qian Renxue had already completed the fourth test of the Angel God and was preparing for the fifth test. Compared to Bibi Dong's divine test, Qian Renxue's test was much simpler, and could be said to have no difficulty at all.

The fifth test was simple: defeat the remaining five elders of the Spirit Hall in turn.

With Qian Renxue's aptitude and talent, she only needs to cultivate for a period of time to achieve this, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

……

Xu Yang quickly became familiar with his own power, and it didn't take long, only half a year. Although he hadn't created his own divine skill, he was already able to skillfully use the new divine power within his body.

"Begin the fifth test!"

Xu Yang probed his mind into the mark of the Asura Demon Sword between his brows, and immediately the scenery around him changed. He then found himself in a blood-red world, where the Asura God stood not far in front of him, holding the Asura Demon Sword and looking at him with icy eyes.

"Your test is simple: defeat this phantom of mine!"

The Asura God's face was expressionless, as if covered by a layer of ice, and his eyes revealed a chilling indifference. The extremely cold killing intent, almost tangible, surged continuously from his body, forming a scarlet storm, like a ferocious beast opening its blood-red maw and rushing straight towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang suddenly felt like a lone boat in a cold, murderous ocean, completely unable to resist, and he was very surprised.

He hadn't expected the Asura God illusion to be so powerful; the mere pressure of its killing intent made it hard for him to breathe. But Xu Yang quickly calmed down, circulating his divine power and letting the power of the sun surround him. Nine soul rings appeared—yellow, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red, red, and crimson gold—and his Martial Soul True Body was activated to resist the killing intent.

The phantom of the Asura God moved, appearing instantly in front of Xu Yang like a ghost, and slashed down with the Asura Demon Sword in its hand, which was covered in blood-red light.

Xu Yang dodged to the side, and simultaneously, the Sun Holy Blade appeared in his right hand, its solar divine power condensed upon it. It collided with the demonic sword, producing a deafening roar. However, the power of the Asura God's phantom was too strong, and Xu Yang was thrown backward. After landing, Xu Yang steadied himself, knowing he could no longer afford to be passively attacked. The crimson space trembled violently, and Xu Yang's pupils turned golden-red, burning like the sun. His crimson-gold solar domain expanded, isolating the Asura God's incomparably terrifying Asura Domain.

At the same time, he concentrated his domain power into the Sun Holy Blade, constantly clashing with the Asura Demon Sword. He also diverted a sliver of his attention to observe the state of the Asura phantom; he had a persistent feeling that the Asura God's trial was not as simple as it appeared, and that there were definitely other deeper meanings behind it.

"Asura - Endless Shackles!"

With a single step, the Asura God unleashed his divine power, which surged outwards like a tidal wave, obliterating everything in its path. Strangely, however, the Asura God seemed not to conceal the underlying principle of this attack.

"Could it be that the true purpose of this illusion is to teach me the Asura Divine Technique?!"

Upon realizing this possibility, Xu Yang's eyes lit up. He stopped confronting the Asura phantom head-on as before and instead focused on maneuvering around it. He also began to devote a significant amount of his attention to learning how the Asura God applied his Asura God power and then applying it to his own Sun God power.

"The Realm of Asura!"

The Asura God's Asura Domain instantly expanded, enveloping Xu Yang within it. Then, it began to change. As more and more Asura God power was injected into it, the surrounding scenery changed again, transforming into a world constructed from Asura God power.

Within the small world, Xu Yang immediately felt his strength being suppressed by half. Asura divine power condensed in the surrounding air, and hundreds of Asura divine swords floated in the air, their tips all pointing at Xu Yang.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."

Hundreds of blood-red streaks of light, like crimson lightning, burst down from the sky, and would probably pierce through Xu Yang in just a fraction of a second.

"Since we can't compete in quality, we'll win by quantity."

"Split! Shape!"

Xu Yang's expression was solemn. Countless small golden-red suns flew out from his body and began to take shape in the air. Instantly, they condensed into countless Sun Holy Blades, which turned into countless golden-red streams of light that rushed upwards and collided with the Asura Demon Sword.

"Not bad, really good."

Seeing that his attack had been neutralized, the Asura Phantom nodded in satisfaction, raised the Asura Demon Sword in his hand again, and delivered a simple straight thrust towards Xu Yang.

"Exterminate them!"

"Hao Ri kills with one strike!"

Faced with this sword strike, Xu Yang dared not be careless and immediately unleashed his strongest strike to meet it.

Next, the Asura God demonstrated other divine skills to Xu Yang. After all the demonstrations were completed, the Asura Illusion's attacks changed. It no longer had the mindset of teaching as before. With one sword, it tore Xu Yang's body apart, almost splitting him in two.

Fortunately, Xu Yang had already completed his divine transformation before the divine test, and the wound that almost severed him at the waist was instantly restored to its original state under the power of the Sun God.
