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

Chapter 320 Killing Soul

……

Xuanming gripped the blood spear in his hand, which had undergone a complete transformation and now exuded a submissive aura as if connected by blood. He sensed the information about the "Domain of Slaughter" in his mind, and then looked at the divinely bestowed soul ring before him, which was filled with an aura of slaughter and judgment...

A clear idea came to him.

Behind this so-called "Nine Trials of Poseidon" lies far more than just the shadow of Poseidon!

Asura God!
The God-King who wields the power of killing and judgment in the divine realm must have been involved, and may even have taken a dominant position!

This divinely bestowed soul ring, and the evolution of this killing domain, are the best proof!

Otherwise, how could the Sea God's reward contain such pure and powerful killing law? And how could it have just happened to cause his Killing God Domain to evolve?
This is clearly... the work of the Asura God!
"The seventh spirit ring..."

Xuanming stared at the divinely bestowed soul ring before him, which radiated a golden-red light and contained an aura of immense slaughter and judgment.

The quality of the seventh spirit ring directly affects the enhancement that the weapon spirit's true form can bring. He has been slow to obtain the seventh spirit ring and has not accepted Arou and Xiaowu's sacrifice, not only because the previous blood spear was too dangerous, but also because their spirit rings were not suitable.

Otherwise, he could have gone and hunted down that demonic orca king.

Now, this divinely bestowed soul ring, imbued with the aura of slaughter, is the most suitable seventh soul ring for Blood Spear.

Om-!
The moment he touched the spirit ring, a violent, sharp, and terrifying energy that seemed capable of tearing apart the soul erupted and surged wildly into his body!

This energy was not the gentle power of the sea god, but rather filled with a pure killing intent and a cold law of judgment! As soon as it entered Xuanming's body, it was like a wild horse that had broken free, rampaging and frantically impacting his meridians, bones, and even his soul!
"Hmph!" Xuanming grunted, his face turning pale instantly.

The difficulty of absorbing this divinely bestowed soul ring far exceeded his expectations! The energy attributes it contained were completely different from his own ice and fire attributes and the ferocious aura of the Blood Spear, and were full of exclusivity and aggression!
Xuanming channeled his soul power to the fullest extent, and the Ice-Fire Dragon Crown shone brightly. The ultimate power of ice and fire flowed within his body, attempting to guide and tame this violent energy.

At the same time, the newly evolved killing domain deep within his soul unfolded on its own, with a dark red domain aura enveloping his body, subtly resonating with, resisting, and attempting to merge with the killing judgment aura emanating from the divinely bestowed soul ring.

Poseidon stood quietly by, watching over Xuanming. She could clearly sense the two powerful and conflicting energy fluctuations within him, but she did not interfere. Absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring was something no outsider could help with; it depended entirely on himself.

Xuanming sat down cross-legged, focusing all his attention on his body, guiding his own power to engage in a tug-of-war with the killing soul ring.

Time passes minute by minute.

One day, two days, three days...

As night fell on the third day, the golden-red divinely bestowed soul ring finally stabilized completely and perfectly integrated into Xuanming's martial soul system, becoming Blood Spear's seventh soul ring!

The spirit ring's color ultimately settled on a deep, dark red, its radiance restrained yet exuding a chilling pressure.

The spirit ring faintly displays complex killing runes, profound and mysterious.

Five hundred thousand years!

This divinely bestowed spirit ring has an age limit of a terrifying 500,000 years! Far exceeding that of an ordinary 100,000-year spirit ring!

Moreover, Xuanming clearly sensed an incredibly close connection between this spirit ring and him, far surpassing that of other spirit rings. It seemed to be an external extension of his killing domain, a manifestation of his power.

What shocked him even more was that this spirit ring was not fixed!
It seems to have the potential to grow! As his own strength improves, especially with the continuous enhancement of his killing domain and the deepening of his understanding of the laws of killing, the age of this spirit ring... can actually continue to increase!
It has the potential to break through the legendary million-year barrier and become a true god-level soul ring as Xuanming fights his way through the world!
An evolving... Killing Soul Ring!
When Xuanming had completely absorbed the power of the seventh soul ring and his consciousness returned, he found himself gently transported back to the starting point at the foot of the mountain by the light of the Sea God.

Poseidon, along with Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, and others, stood by, their faces showing concern and barely concealed shock.

"You're awake." Poseidon's voice was still ethereal, but there was an indescribable ripple in her deep eyes.

She witnessed firsthand how Xuanming completed that nearly impossible test and how he absorbed that divinely bestowed soul ring that even she found terrifying.

The tenacity, madness, and potential displayed by this young man repeatedly challenged her perceptions, making the quietly growing excitement even clearer, yet she forcibly suppressed it with even stronger willpower.

She is the high priestess of Poseidon Island, shouldering the mission of protection and waiting.

"Brother Xuanming, are you alright?" Ning Rongrong rushed forward and asked with concern. The others also gathered around, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"It's nothing." Xuanming shook his head, feeling the surging power within his body; his condition was better than ever before.

The difficulty and cruelty of the first test bring equally rich rewards.

Black, black, black, black, black, dark red!
Seven spirit rings slowly rose around him. The first six were ten-thousand-year spirit rings, deep as ink and exuding a terrifying pressure, while the seventh was a dark red spirit ring, flowing with killing god patterns and exuding a heart-palpitating aura of five hundred thousand years... the killing spirit ring!
After absorbing the soul ring, the divine trial brought an increase in soul power level, the previous terrifying accumulation, and the terrifying boost from this 500,000-year soul ring, directly raising Xuanming's soul power to level 80!

The biggest change comes from the Martial Soul itself.

With a slight thought, the blood spear, now completely transformed, quietly appeared in his hand.

The moment I grasped it, an unprecedented feeling of perfect harmony and complete control washed over me.

The blood spear was no longer a weapon that required constant distraction to suppress, but had truly become an extension of his body and will.

He could clearly sense the complete and unified will within the Blood Spear—a part of his own will! Cold, murderous, yet absolutely in control.

"Congratulations on successfully absorbing the divinely bestowed soul ring. A soul ring of 500,000 years... Even in the history of Seagod Island, no one has ever reached such a level with a seventh soul ring." Poseidon paused slightly, her gaze sweeping over the blood spear in Xuanming's hand, its aura restrained yet concealing boundless ferocity, her expression somewhat solemn.

Threat!

She sensed an extremely strong threat emanating from this thing!
"Your seventh spirit ring... it looks terrifying." Hu Liena's usually cold eyes gleamed with a strange light as she couldn't help but ask, "What does the true form of a weapon spirit look like? Can we see it?"

Xuanming glanced at them and nodded. He also needed to familiarize himself with this new power.

With a thought, his dark red seventh spirit ring suddenly lit up!

Om-!
An indescribable, chilling, deathly, yet incredibly violent killing intent suddenly erupted from him! Dark red light instantly enveloped a large area around him!
"Be careful!" Poseidon's expression changed slightly. He immediately stepped forward, and a vast blue soul power surged out, transforming into a gentle yet sturdy barrier that protected Hu Liena and the others behind him.

The instant the dark red light touched their bodies, Hu Liena, Ning Rongrong, and the others felt as if their souls had been frozen. A suffocating killing intent surged through their minds, making their bodies stiff and their blood almost congeal! If Poseidon hadn't intervened in time, they would probably have suffered mental damage instantly!
What a terrifying area!

Under Poseidon's protection, they were able to look towards the center of the domain, still shaken.

Centered on the spot where Xuanming had originally stood, a vast expanse of dark red killing energy frantically condensed and shaped, transforming in the blink of an eye into a gigantic energy body hundreds of meters tall!
This energy entity is a translucent dark red color, as if it were composed of pure killing intent and energy. Its outline is somewhat similar to Xuanming, majestic and murderous, exuding a terrifying pressure like that of a god or demon!
In his hand, he held a massive, solidified blood spear energy body that matched his size!

Xuanming's true form quietly floated at the core of the chest cavity of this hundred-meter-tall killing war spirit, enveloped and protected by the purest dark red energy.

He retained his original form, but seemed to have merged with this huge killing spirit. He was the core of the spirit, and the spirit was an extension of his power!
This is Xuanming's seventh soul skill, the mutated weapon soul true form, the killing battle soul!
Xuanming's true form stirred slightly.

The Hundred-Meter Killing Soul then slowly raised its massive blood spear and seemingly casually swung it towards the deserted sea in the distance.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a faint hissing sound, as if space itself were being torn apart.

A dark red, crescent-shaped blade of light, spanning hundreds of meters, appeared out of thin air and silently swept across the sea.

The next moment, the vast sea in the distance seemed to be cleaved in two by an invisible blade of the gods, revealing a huge chasm that was bottomless and whose sides were as steep as cliffs!
The seawater could not close for a long time, as if the lingering killing intent at the cut was still annihilating everything!
The power of one blow is so terrifying!
Poseidon's pupils contracted slightly. The destructive power displayed by this killing battle spirit far exceeded that of the weapon spirit true body of an ordinary Title Douluo!

Moreover, its pure killing and destruction nature is chilling.

Hu Liena and the others were dumbfounded. A hundred-meter-tall energy giant, splitting the sea with a casual strike... Is this really the power that a Soul Saint can possess?
Xuanming released his soul skill, and the hundred-meter killing battle spirit slowly dissipated. He landed back on the ground, his breathing steady.

This killing spirit consumes a great deal of soul power and mental strength, but its power is indeed worthy of a 500,000-year soul ring.

"Is this... still the true form of the weapon spirit?" Ning Rongrong's expression was somewhat stiff.

This is completely different from her sword grandfather's weapon spirit form!
