Chapter 130 The Sixth Soul Skill, the Arena of Life and Death
Qian Daoliu looked at the black and purple giant in front of him with surprise. It was at this moment that he truly felt the breath of the god-level martial spirit. Was this because the quality of the martial spirit had evolved?
"Grandpa, look at his forehead!" Qian Renxue pointed to the sky.
Qian Daoliu followed and looked. He found a translucent diamond-shaped space on the forehead of the fifty-meter-tall black-purple giant that was big enough to accommodate several people. Xia Liang was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed.
Surprisingly, there was also a diamond-shaped mark on Xia Liang's forehead, but this mark was not translucent, but black and gray.
"Is this the mark of the divine test?" Qian Daoliu suddenly remembered that when he participated in the eighth test of the Angel God, there was a golden mark on his forehead.
At this moment, a black and gray mark suddenly appeared on Xia Liang's forehead, containing a trace of divine power fluctuations. It was clearly a symbol of an assessment from a certain god.
It was at this moment that Qian Daoliu was convinced that this child named Xia Liang was not talking nonsense. He was actually the inheritor of the Divine Test. Could it be that the evil blood of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger restored his malignantly mutated divine martial soul origin?
However, what Qian Daoliu did not know was that the black and gray mark on Xia Liang's forehead was indeed the mark of the Divine Test, but it was newly obtained and he had never had it before.
In the Douluo God Realm, from the small priests to the big gods, as long as the gods are related to negativity, they can be called evil gods, rather than referring to any specific one.
The evil god blood contained in the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's natal bead was originally the inheritance of a first-level evil god.
But the God Realm has a rule that soul beasts cannot become gods, so only after breaking through 100,000 years of cultivation and transforming into a human, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger will be qualified to start the first-level evil god assessment.
This is the blood memory engraved deep in the soul of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Unfortunately, it was killed before it could cultivate for 100,000 years, and along with its natal pearl, it became Xia Liang's soul ring.
Therefore, Xia Liang started the assessment of the first-level evil god on its behalf.
However, the one who was supposed to be given the mark of divine test was a first-level evil god, but because of his extraordinary talent, Xia Liang was noticed by the first generation evil god king, who specially granted him the nine tests of the evil god.
This is exactly the opposite of how Ma Hongjun was treated in the original novel.
According to the original description, Ma Hongjun was born with a top-level martial soul and amazing talent. He should have been the God of Fire among the first-level gods, but because he neglected to practice and inherited the throne when he was young, he could only retreat and inherit the throne of the second-level god, the God of Phoenix.
Xia Liang was born with a defective martial soul and mediocre talent. There was no hope for him to break through to the Titled Douluo realm in this lifetime, let alone gain the favor of a certain god.
However, he made up for his lack of talent through his own efforts and various opportunities, and step by step made his incomplete martial soul complete. In the end, he cultivated a martial soul that was not top-notch into a ultimate martial soul, and thus started the divine test.
The most amazing talent was gained through hard work and dedication, which enabled the original first-level evil god test to be upgraded to the highest level evil god king test among the evil gods when the divine test came.
Xia Liang didn't expect that such a good thing would happen to him.
After integrating the information carried by the divine test mark, he discovered that his open spiritual world had been locked by a divine thought.
From now on, no one, even someone as powerful as Qian Daoliu, can force his way into his spiritual world without permission.
And in the spiritual world, on the spiritual sea that covered hundreds of meters in radius, there were nine black and gray diamond marks floating, which corresponded to the nine tests of the evil god given by the evil god king.
Xia Liang was standing on the shore of the spiritual sea. He used his perspective to peek at the nine black and gray diamond-shaped marks, but he found that except for the first mark, the other eight marks were like ordinary stones, and he could not peek into the content of the assessment contained in them.
The first black and gray diamond mark was the first test of the evil god. This mark appeared directly in the mind without the need for perspective, because after the god test was opened, the first test content had already begun.
The first test of the Evil God is to break through level 70 within one year to obtain the true body of the martial soul and possess a 100,000-year soul ring.
Rewards for completing the first assessment: Soul power increased by two levels, a chance to devour a soul ring, and affinity with the evil god increased by 5%.
After understanding the content of the first test of the Evil God, Xia Liang stood on the shore of the spiritual coast and began to think.
The assessment reward that interested him most was the chance to devour a soul ring.
This is different from the way he absorbed the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring by devouring it just now.
The Devouring Soul Ring awarded as a reward by the Divine Examination can devour one of one's existing soul rings and turn the soul skills attached to that soul ring into one's own unique innate ability.
Because of the protection of divine power, the process of devouring the spirit ring will not produce any side effects. Moreover, after devouring a spirit ring, the position of the spirit ring will be vacant, and a new spirit ring can be added.
This means that in the future, not only can you painlessly replace spirit rings with higher age ones, but you can also turn old spirit rings into your own physical strength. This is much better than the reward of increasing the age of spirit rings in the original work.
What made Xia Liang feel difficult was that after absorbing the soul ring and natal bead of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the dark attribute of the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul evolved into the extreme dark attribute, and the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul itself was therefore promoted to the extreme martial soul.
Before level 70, the speed of cultivating the ultimate martial spirit is very slow.
His current soul power was at level 65. Unless he could quickly improve his cultivation by devouring the undead, it would be an impossible task to break through level 70 and obtain a 100,000-year soul ring within a year.
Devour the undead?
Thinking of this, Xia Liang's eyes lit up. The original novel mentioned the City of Slaughter, where many fallen soul masters were killed every day. It was just right for him to enter the City of Slaughter and devour the undead to increase his cultivation.
Moreover, if you win 100 times in the killing field of the Killing City, you will be qualified to open the Road to Hell.
When you break out of the road of hell and obtain the realm of the God of Killing, it is equivalent to gaining the favor of Shura, another god king among the evil gods.
According to the original description, Shura God, as the god of law enforcement, does not have the highest power among the five gods, but his combat power is the strongest.
The Asura God will leave the super artifact to the successor, but the Evil God King will not.
Xia Liang felt that he couldn't just rely on one thing. With the Evil God King as a backup, he should also find a chance to obtain the inheritance of the Shura God.
As for how to find the location of the City of Slaughter, can you open the Road to Hell as you wish after entering the City of Slaughter?
Xia Liang is not worried about these problems now, because when he devoured Tang Hao's soul, he read Tang Hao's memory and already knew where to look for the City of Slaughter.
After absorbing the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger Soul Ring and gaining the sixth soul skill, he was equivalent to having the support of Tang Hao, the God of Death.
Let Tang Hao follow him into the City of Slaughter, and the King of Slaughter will have no choice but to open the Road to Hell according to the rules.
Putting aside the matter of the Evil God's Nine Tests, Xia Liang's consciousness still remained in the spiritual world. He walked on the water and came to the center of the spiritual sea.
Yellow, yellow, purple, black, black, black.
A total of six soul rings slowly fell from Xia Liang's head one after another. Because it was integrated with the energy of the natal bead, the age of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's sixth soul ring increased by 20,000 years on the original basis.
In other words, the age of the sixth soul ring is actually 80,000 years. And the sixth soul skill is naturally also an 80,000-year soul skill, and the soul skill effect is inherited from the unique skill of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, the Life and Death Arena.
According to the original description, the Arena of Life and Death is a black hole ability that combines the attributes of time and space, which can suck the opponent into the different space in the black hole for a duel.
In the duel, the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger is protected by the evil god and is not affected by the time attribute, so it can maintain its original cultivation level unchanged.
The opponent will be weakened by the time attribute and turned into a childish state.
Only when one of the two sides dies can this life-and-death duel end and escape from the alien space.
After the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's Life and Death Arena was combined with the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul as a soul ring skill, the sixth soul skill, the Reverse Life and Death Arena, was born.
As the name suggests, the two sides who enter the duel in the Life and Death Arena are in a process of going from life to death, while the Reverse Life and Death Arena is a process of going from death to life.
After the sixth soul skill, the Arena of Reverse Life and Death, is activated, the different space within the realm of the undead will be used as the venue, thereby temporarily restoring the soul of the deceased to the most powerful period before his death.
By summoning Haunter, the dead can be summoned temporarily to their most powerful period in life. However, even at their most powerful period, the dead cannot exert their full strength.
Since the summoning is done in the same way as Haunter, it means that the summoned dead are the same as Haunter, a combination of mental power, soul power and undead attributes.
In addition, because of the integration of the ultimate dark attribute, the summoned dead can not be affected by the most yang and hot things, and can survive as long as they are not destroyed.
Because the soul and body are dominated by the extreme dark attribute, even if the dead have memories of their life, they can only obey the orders of the caster.
If we really want to find fault with the sixth soul skill, the Arena of Life and Death, it is that the stronger the summoned dead, the more soul power and mental strength are required.
It is obviously impossible to summon Tang Hao, a level 95 Titled Douluo, in his most powerful period in his lifetime with only level 65 soul power.
But with the blessing of time attribute, you can choose any timeline to summon.
If it was just the period when Tang Hao's 89th level soul power was summoned, there would be no problem at all.
The prerequisite for summoning the dead is that the soul of the dead must be sealed in the realm of the dead.
Xia Liang was thankful that before Tang Hao's soul was devoured by the Undead Skeleton Martial Spirit, he first sealed the entire right hand of Tang Hao's soul in the realm of the undead.
With this entire right hand soul, it is also possible to complete the summoning of the Life and Death Arena.
Because with the blessing of the time attribute, you only need to restore the entire right hand soul to the timeline of the complete soul and then summon it, but this will consume more soul power and mental power.
The sixth soul ring lit up, and Xia Liang activated his sixth soul skill, the Life and Death Arena. A ball of black and purple ghost fire floated in front of him.
This ball of will-o'-the-wisp was summoned with the soul of Tang Hao's entire right hand as the core.
With the help of the time attribute of the sixth soul skill, Xia Liang is trying to temporarily restore the soul of Tang Hao's entire right hand to a complete state.
About three minutes later, the black and purple will-o'-the-wisps floating in front of him began to wriggle and gradually turned into a two-meter-tall translucent human figure.
Then, ribs began to grow inside the translucent humanoid figure, followed by arm bones, skull bones, and bones of the lower body.
When Xia Liang looked up, what he saw was no longer a translucent person, but a complete black and purple skeleton.
Countless flesh, blood and meridians entangled the skeleton, turning it into a black and purple human with flesh and blood, and finally gradually turned into Tang Hao's appearance.
Compared with the Tang Hao who was killed before, the Tang Hao who appeared in front of Xia Liang had a burly figure, a strong appearance, and a firm look in his eyes. His whole body gave people a sense of power.
If the Blue Silver Emperor Ah Yin were here, she would definitely be able to recognize that this Tang Hao, who looked only about 40 years old, had the same appearance and cultivation level as when he took her to escape from the Spirit Hall's pursuit.
Looking at the clear palm lines and blood vessels on his palms, Tang Hao's eyes revealed surprise. He remembered that he had been ground to ashes by a black-haired young man, and his soul after death disappeared in endless darkness. How could he still retain his body and even recover his soul consciousness?
What puzzled Tang Hao even more was that all the hidden injuries in his body disappeared, but his soul power level dropped from level 95 to level 89.
Looking down at his reflection on the sea, Tang Hao realized that his appearance had returned to the way it was before Yin was sacrificed.
What on earth was going on?
"Senior Tang Hao, I said that I would not let you go even if you became a ghost. Now I have fulfilled my promise." Xia Liang's voice interrupted Tang Hao's thoughts.
"You, it's you!" Tang Hao found that the hatred in his heart for this person was disappearing little by little, and was replaced by irresistible submission.
He gradually realized that he seemed to have become a living dead who could be manipulated at will.
The person who turned him into this was the black-haired young man in front of him who had once crushed him to ashes.
"If you play with the dead, you will go to hell sooner or later!" Tang Hao said to Xia Liang.
Xia Liang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I'm the King of Hell. That's why I can play with the dead. Senior, congratulations on becoming my first toy. From now on, I will squeeze out all your value. Even if you die, I will not let you go."
Hearing this, Tang Hao closed his eyes in pain. He wished that the soul of his severed right arm would be swallowed up together with it.
Then what happened today wouldn't have happened.
"Senior, please practice with me." As he spoke, Xia Liang's body slowly floated into the sky, his Undead Skeleton Martial Spirit was released, and a fifty-meter-tall black and purple giant stood up from the Sea of Spirit.
Xia Liang was already wrapped in a translucent diamond-shaped space on the forehead of the black and purple giant.
This black and purple giant is the fourth form of the skeletal Susanoo. Based on the original half-man form, the lower body and legs are added, and the size is also greatly increased.
Because the Undead Skeleton Martial Soul has become an ultimate Martial Soul, with the blessing of the ultimate dark attribute, the skeletal Susanoo can easily crush a peak Soul Saint in this giant form.
If he uses weapons, he should be able to fight against a peak Soul Douluo.
The Tang Hao summoned at the moment happened to be a peak Soul Douluo at level 89, so Xia Liang let him be a sparring partner.
