Douluo Continent: Dragon's Journey Across the World

Chapter 302 Dynamics of the Divine Realm

After Yang Ping'an finished absorbing all the soul rings and soul bones of the Abyss Bone Dragon, his soul power reached an astonishing peak of level ninety-eight. According to his estimation, he could quickly reach level ninety-nine even if he continued to cultivate.

Especially given the Abyss Bone Dragon's strength, it has been given four very good skills.

The first skill of the sixth soul ring of the main body martial soul: Bone Prison, can summon an abyssal bone dragon to shroud the enemy. The enemy is as if he is in the belly of an ancient abyssal dragon, forming an independent space. Within the space, the enemy's mental power and soul power are suppressed, and he can do whatever he wants to him.

This move is somewhat like a domain-type soul skill, and also somewhat like a space-restriction skill. It has endless uses, and at least it greatly restricts the enemy's teleportation-type soul skills.

The second skill of the sixth spirit ring of the main body martial soul: Bone Transformation Divine Dragon. This move is somewhat similar to the ninth spirit skill of Bone Douluo. It can summon a huge abyss bone dragon that can both attack and defend, and has the full power of the abyss bone dragon.

Left Leg Soul Bone Skill 1: Spatial Transfer. It can summon something similar to a black hole to transfer attacks from oneself or enemies. Yang Ping'an even discovered that using this skill, one could probably teleport people and objects, and the teleportation location could be very far, as long as it was within the range of his mental power. If he hadn't outmaneuvered this Abyss Bone Dragon and seized the only opportunity to kill it, it probably wouldn't have been so easy to hunt it down.

Left Leg Soul Bone Skill 2: Bone Dragon Tail Sweep, which can summon a huge abyssal bone dragon to deliver a full-force attack with its tail.

Yang Ping'an was very satisfied with these four soul skills, especially since he seemed to have a significant increase in his ability to survive after acquiring them. In addition to the dark attribute, he was also becoming more and more proficient in mastering the spatial attribute.

In particular, the Abyss Bone Dragon comes from a true dragon race and is Yang Ping'an's first soul ring and soul bone with true dragon attributes. It feels like the strength of the Golden Dragon will increase significantly in the future, especially since the Golden Dragon might be able to use skills similar to the Abyss Bone Dragon.

After summarizing all his gains, Yang Ping'an seemed to remember something and summoned the Golden Dragon again.

Facing the enormous corpse of the Abyss Bone Dragon, the Golden Dragon disregarded Yang Ping'an's command and pounced directly at it, quickly devouring the corpse clean.

Yang Ping'an couldn't help but shake his head as he looked at the Golden Dragon's gluttonous appearance. Most of the soul beasts he had recently acquired had been eaten by the Golden Dragon, especially the corpse of the Golden Tortoise Shell he obtained when he got his ninth soul ring, which seemed to be a great tonic for the Golden Dragon.

After everything in the Death Forest was dealt with, a voice sounded in Yang Ping's mind again: "Yang Ping'an, the fifth test of the Nine Trials of Death is complete, increasing Death Affinity by 10%, with a total affinity of 70%."

At the same time, the content of the sixth test of the Nine Trials of Death also appeared: "Yang Ping'an, the sixth test of the Nine Trials of Death, defeat Poseidon, Sky Douluo, Qian Daoliu, and Haotian Douluo Tang Chen, you cannot use the Death Scythe, the time limit is one year, death will occur if you fail to complete it."

Yang Ping'an's face darkened upon seeing the assessment criteria.

With his current strength, he is indeed confident in defeating the Limit Douluo. However, Poseidon can use the power of the Sea God on Seagod Island, and Qian Daoliu can also use the power of the Angel in Wuhun City. Defeating the two of them will not be easy.

As for Tang Chen, Yang Ping'an was more confident, but Tang Chen had been hiding the Asura Demon Sword, and if he really went all out, his strength would probably be terrifying.

Even though Yang Ping'an defeated the Abyss Bone Dragon, a Limit Douluo-level expert, the intelligence of soul beasts is far lower than that of humans, making them relatively easier to manipulate.

Especially since the Reaper's Scythe cannot be used, wouldn't that mean catching the artifact bare-handed? The difficulty would probably be much higher than imagined.

However, Yang Ping'an didn't care too much. Anyway, he could still absorb three more soul rings, especially since there was still a divinely bestowed soul ring in his mind that he hadn't absorbed yet. Breaking through to level 99 would be a piece of cake.

After tidying everything up, Yang Ping'an left the Death Forest.

In the sky above the Death Forest, a pair of giant, scarlet eyes seemed to watch Yang Ping'an leave: "If you want to become the successor of the Grim Reaper, if you want to fulfill the Grim Reaper's will, you must become the strongest person in this world. I hope you won't disappoint me."

After leaving Death Valley, Yang Ping'an felt incredibly refreshed and no longer felt like he was being watched. It was as if he could fly freely in the vast sky.

In the realm of gods, at the Temple of Asura, the Sea God and the Asura God were surprisingly sitting together.

From the moment Yang Ping'an left the Forest of Death, both the Asura God and the Sea God seemed to sense a stirring within them.

With a wave of his hand, the God of Asura conjured a huge curtain in front of the two, displaying Yang Ping'an's condition.

Both of them had some connection with Yang Ping'an, and at that moment they understood the changes that had occurred in Yang Ping'an's body.

The Sea God seemed somewhat surprised: "God of Asura, what exactly is the situation with this Yang Ping'an? He seems to have received the inheritance of an unknown god, but why haven't I seen this god in the God Realm?"

The Asura God's gaze seemed somewhat solemn: "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable, this Yang Ping'an actually obtained the Death God's inheritance. No wonder he couldn't accept your inheritance back on Seagod Island."

The sea god was somewhat puzzled: "The God of Death? It seems there's no such position as the God of Death in the divine realm. Could it be from another world?"

The God of Asura's expression was somewhat serious: "This is a secret of the God Realm. The God of Death was one of the many God Kings in the God Realm, and the most unconventional one at that. His strength was no weaker than mine and Evil's. Unfortunately, he disappeared after that war. I thought he had completely perished, but now I didn't expect that he would leave behind a legacy. It seems this is getting interesting."

The Sea God was still somewhat puzzled: "God of Asura, doesn't Yang Ping'an possess two martial souls? Logically, he should be able to receive the inheritance of two godhoods. Even if he has the inheritance of the God of Death, why can't he receive the inheritance of me, the Sea God?"

The Asura God said, "The God of Death is quite special. He controls life and death in the world and possesses the power of death and the power of darkness. Moreover, he himself is half-alive and half-dead. I'm afraid this Yang Ping'an is not an ordinary living person either."

"Moreover, Yang Ping'an first received the inheritance of the God of Death, a god-king level, and his body can no longer tolerate the inheritance of an ordinary god."

The Sea God remained silent upon hearing this. He had initially thought Yang Ping'an was a promising candidate to inherit the divine position, and it was a pity that he couldn't. He never expected that Yang Ping'an would interfere with so many things that he was unaware of.

The Asura God seemed to understand the Sea God's thoughts: "Sea God, you shouldn't even think about Yang Ping'an. Don't you have a successor to the Ice Phoenix Martial Soul who evolved into a god-level martial soul? Its attributes and all other aspects are perfectly suited to you, Sea God. Why not pass on your godhood to that girl?"

Poseidon seemed to glance at Douluo Continent: "I always felt that this girl was lacking something, and she still needed some training. If she had a god-level martial soul when she came to Poseidon Island, I would probably have subjected her to the Nine Trials of Poseidon long ago. Now, how far she can go depends on her own future destiny."

The God of Asura nodded: "Alright, you can go back now. Yang Ping'an has obtained the inheritance of the God of Death, and I need to discuss this with the evil ones."

The Sea God was surprised: "Is Yang Ping'an's inheritance really that significant?"

The Asura God said, "The God of Death is not that simple. His thoughts were a mystery back in the God Realm. Moreover, this concerns whether the God Realm will gain a new God King. It requires the five of us to make a decision together."

Poseidon: ...

In the heart of the divine realm, at the call of the Asura God, the five great divine kings gathered together for the first time.

"Shura, the God Realm has been quite peaceful lately, so why have you suddenly summoned the five of us together?" The God King of Life asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Asura God didn't say anything, but directly showed Yang Ping'an's condition, especially the Death God's power and inheritance on Yang Ping'an's body.

The God of Destruction was somewhat puzzled: "Didn't the God of Death already fall? How could he still leave behind a legacy?"

The God of Asura looked somewhat gloomy: "You should all be aware of the God of Death's personality. This kid has inherited the God of Death's legacy, does that mean our divine realm will soon have another God-King?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. The realm of gods also has the power to divide itself. If a new god-king suddenly appeared, whose power would be affected?

The Evil God King suddenly spoke up: "Huh, why do I feel a trace of my aura on this kid? Could it be that he killed my tiger and made it his soul ring? It seems that my Evil God Bead is also on him."

The Asura God's face darkened: "Evil, what do you mean?"

The Evil God King couldn't help but chuckle: "I feel that this kid is destined to be with me, and judging from his talent and strength, he's not bad. I might as well let him try to see if he can be my successor. This kid has two martial souls, so maybe he can inherit both my and the God of Death's godhood at the same time."

The Asura God seemed a little angry: "Evil! Everything has a first-come, first-served principle. This kid already possesses the Killing God Domain and is already one of my successors."

The Evil God King sneered, "So what if he has your aura? He was still snatched away by that God of Death. Logically speaking, since you didn't send down a divine trial, this kid can still be said to have no home. Let's see what we can do next."

Seeing that the two god-kings seemed to be on the verge of falling out, the God-King of Life quickly spoke up: "What are your positions, that you two are arguing over a child? What will the gods think if they see this?"

"I think this kid has pretty good talent. Let's see how he develops on his own. Since the Grim Reaper left behind a legacy, we should respect it. This may be a miracle of life. As for whether he can inherit your two godhood, that depends on his future fortune."

The God of Asura snorted coldly: "What I'm worried about is not just the succession of a godhood. If this kid inherits the personality and mindset of the God of Death, then who knows whether it will be a blessing or a curse for our god realm."

Everyone fell silent again, clearly showing their aversion to death.

Finally, the Kind God King spoke up: "This is not a big deal. I remember the High Priest of the Sea God is on Douluo Star, right? We can have the High Priest of the Sea God test him under our observation, and then make a decision based on his own thoughts and performance."

"As for the matter of having one more God-King in the God Realm, at worst we can let him gather his subordinates and create god positions for them. Whether he can develop into one depends on his own abilities."

The great god-kings then nodded.

After leaving Death Valley, Yang Ping planned to visit his master and Bing'er. He had been away from the Soul Master world for nine months, and he wondered if anything major had happened during that time. Moreover, given the current situation, it seemed that war was about to break out between the three great empires.

My next plan is to acquire a spirit ring to reach level 99 before challenging the three Limit Douluos. That way, I should have a better chance of success.

Although Yang Ping'an had planned for the next two spirit rings, finding these two spirit beasts was not a simple matter. Moreover, the strength of these two spirit beasts was somewhat exaggerated, even stronger than the Abyss Bone Dragon.
