Still inside the Sea God Temple!
The seven Sea God Pillar guardians were the first to awaken. As Title Douluos, they had used the true Sea God's power to each gain at least one soul power level, saving them years or even decades of arduous cultivation.
At this moment, they were completely convinced of Dugu Yan's authority as the new Sea God and naturally became her devout followers.
"Sea God!"
Dugu Yan nodded slightly and then said, "From now on, Sea Dragon will be the new High Priest. All of you may leave now and return to your respective posts."
Sea Dragon and the other six Title Douluos responded with reverence, "As you command!"
With that, the seven Title Douluos quickly exited and returned to their respective pillars. This was their duty and their faith.
After the seven Sea God Pillar guardians left, Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing gradually awakened. Their bodies were brimming with powerful soul power that they couldn't yet fully control after their breakthroughs.
Zhu Zhuqing exclaimed in surprise, "I've broken through! I've reached level 90 soul power! Just by absorbing a bit of the Sea God's divine power, I've jumped two levels, from level 88 to level 90."
Ning Rongrong also giggled, "I'm the same. I've reached level 90 soul power. For most people, the higher their soul power, the harder it is to break through. But for us, the higher our soul power, the easier it is to break through. This is so much easier than cultivating in the sect."
Ye Lingling's eyes sparkled with joy, "Me too."
Chen Yuan smiled faintly. Before the age of twelve, he had trained hard in his sect, but his progress had been slow. After turning twelve, he had traveled across the continent, and his cultivation speed had skyrocketed.
At eighteen, he had become a Title Douluo, but that was now in the past. At twenty, he was preparing to break through to godhood.
However, before that, Chen Yuan reminded Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing, "This is a good thing. You're all about to become Title Douluos. You each still have one god-given soul ring left. Use it to obtain another 100,000-year soul ring. With such a foundation, I believe that even if you don't seek out a god, a god will come to you, offering their inheritance."
Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing each took out their last god-given soul ring, their eyes filled with longing. Having witnessed Dugu Yan's ascension to godhood, they were naturally filled with desire.
At level 90 soul power, who wouldn't want to become a Title Douluo as soon as possible? After a brief adjustment, they began absorbing their god-given soul rings.
One by one, they were enveloped in golden mist, which permeated their muscles, bones, and meridians, exerting pressure from all sides to determine the most suitable duration for their soul rings.
Seeing this, Chen Yuan said to Dugu Yan, "Yanyan, keep an eye on them. I'll take this opportunity to break through to godhood."
Dugu Yan's expression turned serious as she replied solemnly, "Leave them to me. Don't worry about anything else. Just focus on your breakthrough."
Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, then channeled his divine sense into the Asura Demon Sword mark on his forehead, activating the accumulated killing intent within it.
Unlike the Sea God, who carefully selected and nurtured his successor, the Asura God's philosophy was to first address quantity, then quality—casting a wide net to catch more fish.
Chen Yuan, who had persevered to the end, had absorbed the accumulated killing intent of three generations of the Tang family. His reserves of killing intent were unparalleled in the world.
Under the stimulation of his divine sense, the blood-red Asura Demon Sword began to heat up, then shot out a beam of light that tore open a rift in space. A chilling, blood-colored wind blew through the rift, as if it led straight to the Asura Hell.
Dugu Yan reacted swiftly, releasing a surge of Sea God's divine sense. A blue-gold light spread out, enveloping Ye Lingling, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing to protect them from interference and prevent the blood-colored wind from spreading.
Without hesitation, Chen Yuan stepped through the rift. In an instant, he was transported to a special space.
The Killing Domain, the Asura Hell!
This was a world filled with slaughter and death. The sky was blood-red, and the surroundings were shrouded in blood-colored mist. The ground was littered with skeletons—both human and soul beast—of all kinds, leaving only stark white bones.
Chen Yuan walked among the bones, his vision filled with blood-colored mist. As the mist entered his body, a burning heat surged in his chest, and a mad killing intent overwhelmed him, making him want to slaughter everything in sight.
"This is the final trial of the Asura's Nine Trials. If that's the case, then let it come even more fiercely!"
With that, Chen Yuan's hands flashed with blood-red light, and the Asura Demon Sword materialized from the light. The two-meter-long greatsword was covered in blood-red demonic patterns, glowing vividly as if dripping with blood in this Asura Hell-like killing domain.
"Asura Divine Armor!"
With a thought, Chen Yuan activated the Asura God's power within his seven soul bones. The dark golden Asura Divine Armor once again clad his body.
Crack!
Chen Yuan raised the Asura Demon Sword high and thrust it into the ground, roaring, "Come on!"
Boom! The blood-colored mist, which was actually Asura God's divine power, began to gather rapidly, drawn by the Asura Demon Sword. The speed was so fast that it formed a blood-colored tornado.
The tornado connected heaven and earth, towering hundreds of feet high, continuously absorbing the blood-colored mist. At the center of the tornado was Chen Yuan—or more precisely, the Asura Demon Sword.
The Asura Demon Sword devoured the Asura God's divine power and channeled it into Chen Yuan's body. The divine power was domineering, cold, violent, and sinister… It surged wildly through Chen Yuan's body, helping him complete his final ascension.
As for the trial, as long as he could control the killing intent and not be overwhelmed by it, he would pass the final test. The Asura God's trial was as simple and direct as that.
At the same time, the Asura Divine Armor on his body was transforming from dark gold to blood-red. The inheritance power accumulated from the first eight trials had given Chen Yuan the prototype of the Asura Divine Armor. But only after completing the Asura's Nine Trials would the inheritance power be complete, and the Asura Divine Armor would truly have a soul, possessing unparalleled divine might.
"This is exactly what I've been missing—the killing intent of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Come on, let me truly break through…"

Meanwhile, in another special space!
This was a place of pure evil, formed from the most malevolent thoughts. The Rakshasa God's trial had also reached its final stage. Around Bibi Dong, a golden soul ring rose, covered in green demonic patterns and exuding the terrifying pressure unique to a divine soul ring.
