Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

The True Purpose of the First Test in Chapter 314
……

Just as Xuanming was holding the blood spear and channeling the light of the sea god to attack the chaotic will within it, a magnificent red figure appeared silently beside him.

It was none other than the Sea God Douluo Poseidon.

She did not undergo the test, so she was naturally not suppressed by the light of the sea god.

She stood quietly amidst the terrifying energy surge powerful enough to tear apart a Title Douluo, radiating a gentle yet vast aura that completely isolated her from external pressure.

As she watched Xuanming, covered in blood and with his bones on the verge of shattering, still gripping the restless blood spear and frantically tempering his martial soul with the light of the sea god, a subtle ripple involuntarily appeared in her deep, world-weary eyes.

She had once seen someone so powerful, so determined, so... willing to do anything to control power and defy fate.

Moreover, that person was just like Xuanming in front of him... cold, stubborn, and unromantic, seemingly only concerned with goals and power.

Distant memories flooded her mind like a tide, causing a moment of confusion and complexity to appear in Poseidon's eyes.

But she quickly regained her composure, her gaze returning to calm as she looked at the blood spear in Xuanming's hand, which trembled violently under the impact of the holy golden light and roared with resentment. She spoke slowly, her ethereal voice piercing through the roar of energy: "The Light of the Sea God originates from the faith of all people and contains the power of purification and rebirth. It has miraculous effects on tempering martial souls, stabilizing foundations, and removing impurities."

Her tone was calm, as if she were simply stating a fact, but the implied reminder and guidance were self-evident.

"But haste makes waste. Excessive rigidity leads to breakage. The pressure at level 666 is beyond what ordinary people can withstand. If you explode and die here, all our efforts will be in vain."

Upon hearing this, Xuanming raised his head with difficulty. His blood-stained face was expressionless, but his icy blue eyes remained terrifyingly calm.

He glanced at Poseidon, said nothing, and simply nodded slowly.

He naturally understood this principle.

However, now is not the time to stop.

The suppressive and tempering effect of the Sea God's Light on the Blood Spear is most significant at the peak of the pressure!
Retreating now would be safe, but the hope of completing the almost impossible "reshaping of will" within three months would be even slimmer.

He needs more pressure! He needs a more thorough tempering!
Poseidon, seeing the unwavering determination in his eyes, understood and sighed softly, saying nothing more.

She knew that trying to dissuade her was useless.

Just when Poseidon thought Xuanming would continue to fight desperately—

Om-!
An indescribable, vast dragon might, seemingly from the primordial era, suddenly erupted from Xuanming's body!

The majestic and domineering ice and fire dragon crown on his forehead suddenly shone with a dazzling light! The dragon patterns seemed to come alive, emitting a deep and ancient dragon roar!

Immediately afterwards, a vast and terrifying energy, far exceeding his own soul power level, erupted from the deepest part of his bones like a dormant volcano!

That's... the energy of the dragon bones! It's the primordial dragon power sealed within him by the two great dragon kings of ice and fire!
Now that things have come to this, facing this first test that is almost impossible to complete, and this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for tempering, he has no need to hide anything anymore!

"Roar--!!!"

A deep roar, seemingly not of human origin and mixed with the sound of a dragon's cry, burst forth from Xuanming's throat!

His soul power surged wildly, as if he had taken a rocket!
Level 71, Level 75, Level 80, Level 85...

To Poseidon's astonishment, Xuanming's soul power level broke through the barrier of Soul Douluo at an unbelievable speed, and its momentum showed no signs of slowing down, ultimately settling at an astonishing height—

Level ninety!
The soul power fluctuations at the Title Douluo level swept outwards from him like a storm!
Although this power did not truly belong to him, but was forcibly enhanced by the energy of the dragon bone, and was full of instability and instability, its vastness and grandeur were indeed at the level of a Title Douluo!
"This...this is?!" Poseidon could no longer remain calm; her beautiful face was filled with disbelief!

She could clearly sense that it was not a simple burst of soul power, but a deeper, terrifying power originating from the very source of her bloodline and bones!
That ancient, majestic dragon's might, that domineering aura that seemed capable of tearing the heavens apart... This young man actually possesses such terrifying power hidden within him!
Xuanming's blood-stained black robes fluttered and rustled even without wind. His Ice-Fire Dragon Crown shone brilliantly, and a red and blue energy storm surrounded him, making him appear as if a dragon god had descended to earth!

He suddenly raised his head, and it seemed as if a dragon's shadow was swirling in his icy blue eyes. He didn't linger, and didn't even glance at Poseidon again. Instead, he turned around abruptly and launched an attack on the higher, more devastatingly powerful staircase!
boom--!
His figure transformed into a raging red and blue dragon, defying the golden tide that was powerful enough to crush a Title Douluo, and surged upwards!
Level 670! Level 700! Level 750!
Poseidon stood there, stunned, staring blankly at the figure with an imperial crown on his head, rushing towards the dead end like a madman.

After level 700! The pressure there has risen to a terrifying level that cannot be described in words! It is an absolute domain capable of easily crushing ordinary Title Douluos into dust in an instant!
Even with the strong support of the dragon bone energy, Xuanming's body began to reach its limit!
Pfft——!
On the surface of his skin, countless fine blood vessels ruptured, and blood gushed out from the numerous cracks like a spring, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure!
The dormant black dragon martial spirit within him seemed to be completely enraged by this extreme threat of death, unleashing a furious roar!

Roar--!
Dark dragon scale patterns uncontrollably appeared on his body, his fingernails became sharp and black, his arms swelled up and revealed the outline of dragon scales, and even his forehead seemed to have hard objects about to break through his skin!

Berserk! Dragon Transformation!
On the verge of death, the most primal dragon bloodline within him was fully activated, initiating an instinctive resistance and transformation! Yet, the light in his eyes, a blend of madness and composure, remained undiminished!

Level 800!
The moment he boldly stepped onto the eight hundredth step!
Click——! ! !
A chilling, rapid cracking sound erupted from his body!
The terrifying pressure finally exceeded the limits his body could withstand! At that moment, large areas of his bones shattered!
"Ugh—!" Xuanming finally couldn't help but let out a painful groan, his body suddenly staggering and almost falling to his knees.

But at this critical moment!
Another powerful force within him was activated: the immense life energy emanating from the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone!

A soft, azure light instantly enveloped his entire body, and the life-giving and restorative energy surged wildly into his shattered bones, torn muscles, and damaged blood vessels...

Destruction and rebirth formed a fierce and terrifying tug-of-war within this body!
The light of the sea god was frantically destroying and crushing his body, while the power of the Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone was desperately repairing and reshaping his body!

This kept him in a terrible state of extreme pain, yet he was unable to fall into a coma and was constantly on the verge of collapse!
But high pressure has its advantages!
Under the impact of such extreme destructive power, the blood spear on his knee reacted to an unprecedented degree!
Buzzing! Crazy buzzing!

The blood spear trembled violently, as if trying to break free from his control!

Within the spear, the chaotic pseudo-soul formed from endless slaughter and resentment seemed to sense a fatal threat, letting out a desperate and frantic roar. All the ferocity, tyranny, and murderous evil thoughts erupted like a geyser, transforming into a tangible black and red current of energy that frantically backfired on Xuanming's body and soul!
"Hmph!" Xuan Ming groaned, more blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.

hum!hum!hum!
A chilling, deathly white domain of the God of Slaughter! A formless, colorless domain! And the domain of raging dragon might, interwoven with ice and fire, inherent in the Ice and Fire Dragon Chief's Crown!

At this moment, he forcibly merged the power of the three domains, transforming it into an even more bizarre and domineering force that seemed capable of suppressing everything, and pressed down fiercely on the rampaging blood spear!
Chi Chi Chi -!
The black and red evil energy clashed violently with the power of the three fused domains and annihilated each other!
Xuanming's body became the most brutal battlefield!
Externally, the Sea God's Light, powerful enough to crush even a Title Douluo, was relentlessly destroying his physical body.

Inside, the frenzied backlash from the evil thoughts of the Blood Spear was assaulting his soul.

He himself mobilized all the power at his disposal—the false level 90 soul power, the energy of the dragon bone, the life force of the Blue Silver Emperor soul bone, and the three fusion domains—to fight against enemies both inside and outside, and frantically guide the light of the sea god to temper the origin of the blood spear!

Poseidon stood not far away, watching the figure who was covered in blood in the golden frenzy, whose bones were making a teeth-grinding sound, yet who was still suppressing the fierce spear and frantically tempering himself. His eyes, which had seen the vicissitudes of life, were filled with unprecedented shock and... a trace of indescribable emotion.

This young man is simply... insane!
But strangely enough, in this madman, she seemed to see something... a possibility that even gods might tremble over...

"..."

In the realm of the gods, within a magnificent temple.

Within the mirror of light, Xuanming's extremely tragic yet insane and resolute cultivation scene was clearly presented to the five God Kings.

The atmosphere inside the temple became somewhat solemn.

"This kid... he's a complete madman." The God of Evil's usual playful smile vanished, replaced by a look of surprise and seriousness in his eyes. "Doesn't he know that with his methods, a single misstep could lead to annihilation, body and soul?"

The Goddess of Life's beautiful face was filled with reluctance and worry. She gently shook her head: "This is too reckless... His body is on the verge of collapse, and he is only holding on by his will and the essence of the Blue Silver Emperor. In this state, he could completely collapse at any moment."

The God of Destruction, surrounded by purple lightning, remained silent for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "But it cannot be denied that this method... is effective. Under extreme pressure, the chaotic will within that ferocious spear is being rapidly consumed and purified. Although the process is brutal, if he can endure it, the gains will be enormous."

The God of Kindness's gentle gaze held a hint of complexity: "He chose the most difficult, and also the most thorough, path. Not for shortcuts, but for... absolute control. He was unwilling to place his hopes on others, even if that person was the Silver Dragon King, whose fate was intertwined with his own."

At this point, the gazes of the several god-kings all turned to the God of Asura.

The Asura God remained expressionless, but deep within his cold, blood-red eyes, a subtle fluctuation, one that even he himself hadn't fully noticed, flickered.

The first test he set, "Reshaping Will, Absolute Control," was not truly intended for Xuanming to complete this nearly impossible task alone.

Just as the God of Evil had guessed, the true purpose of the God of Asura was to test the Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena!

The test was to see if she was willing to pay a huge price for Xuanming—to use the power of her original divine nature, which originated from the Dragon God and, despite falling from the divine realm, still possessed the potential to become a god-king, to help Xuanming purify the filth and resentment in the Blood Spear and reshape its core will.

This is the simplest and safest way to resolve the potential backlash from the Blood Spear.

The Asura God wanted to see if the Silver Dragon King was truly willing to go to such lengths for this human.

This concerns her future stance and choices, as well as the ultimate outcome of the issues left behind by the Dragon God.

He never expected that Xuanming would not consider using the power of the Silver Dragon King at all, but instead chose the most brutal, difficult, and dangerous path!
