On the peak of the main mountain in Thunder Valley, the Body Sect's location.
This is the highest point in the entire Thunder Valley, surrounded by lightning and covered in snow. There seems to be no sign of life around.
Ever since his great battle with Qian Renxue, Yang Xiong has been sitting alone at this highest point, enduring the onslaught of lightning and the covering of snow.
But Yang Xiong didn't care about any of this. His whole being seemed to become incredibly ethereal, and his mind was exceptionally clear.
After defeating Qian Renxue, the reward for the trial appeared in Yang Xiong's mind.
"Yang Xiong, Asura Nine Trials Fourth Trial, defeat the Angel God inheritor. Trial mission complete. Reward: 10% Asura Affinity. Total Affinity: 50%."
When his Asura Affinity truly reached 50%, Yang Xiong found that his body and Martial Soul were gradually changing. He seemed to feel a greater closeness to the Asura Demon Sword, and his Martial Soul seemed to be transforming in some mysterious direction. Even his body was changing.
Initially, Yang Xiong had relied on immense brute force and his own aura of slaughter to wield the Asura Demon Sword. But now, when he picked up the Asura Demon Sword again, it felt as if his entire being was about to merge with it. The Asura Demon Sword felt like his own Martial Soul, and there was some kind of connection between the two.
Yang Xiong understood very clearly that the so-called Asura Affinity should be the degree of compatibility between his Martial Soul and the Asura God. This had gradually developed as he completed the trials.
This showed that Yang Xiong's decision to hold back against Qian Renxue at Two Peaks Mountain was likely what the Asura God was pleased to see.
And ever since his Asura Affinity reached 50%, besides his combat power seemingly becoming stronger, his aura of slaughter had become even purer.
This pure aura of slaughter contained no evil thoughts; it was incredibly pure. The biggest difference was that when Yang Xiong had encountered the Rakshasa God's Divine Sense, it clearly contained a hint of madness and also possessed an evil attribute.
Although the Asura God and the Rakshasa God were both gods of slaughter, and even the Evil God King could be considered a god of slaughter, their auras were completely different, like the fundamental sources of the world.
And after his Asura Affinity reached 50%, the red light from the Asura God that he had seen before now became incredibly clear.
When Yang Xiong had met the Asura God that time, the Asura God had clearly used nine sword techniques. But in the past, Yang Xiong had never been able to comprehend them, or even see them clearly.
Only when he was truly in a desperate situation, facing Qian Renxue's Angel's Judgement, did he understand the gap in the power source and what the true Asura God was.
Although the Angel God shone brightly and represented justice, justice was not about schemes and tricks, nor was it about so-called holiness and light. It was also about slaughter. Only by holding the Angel Holy Sword and eradicating all evil in the world could true light exist.
The Asura God was somewhat similar. Although there were differences in their origins, they both possessed the power of slaughter, judgment, and judgment.
Yang Xiong began to gradually understand the meaning of the Asura God's nine moves. Although the sword techniques were simple, they were unleashed with the Asura God's fundamental power, representing the most just, most unstoppable, and most perfect order in the world.
The Asura God's Asura Nine Styles were clearly completely different from the Sea God's Golden Thirteen Halberds in the original work. The Sea God's Golden Thirteen Halberds represented the vastness of the sea and the pure power of the Sea God.
The Asura God's Asura Nine Styles, on the other hand, were all killing moves. There were no control skills or defensive skills, and they were somewhat similar to the Asura Dharma that Yang Xiong had mastered.
Yang Xiong believed that if he could master these Asura Nine Styles, he could truly stand shoulder to shoulder with gods with the power of a mortal and truly slaughter gods.
After an unknown amount of time, Yang Xiong finally descended from the peak of the Thunder Nine Peaks.
He was greeted by the Dragon Duke and Snake Granny. They both looked quite anxious.
"Greetings, Sect Leader. The Sect Leader has been on the mountaintop since returning to the sect. Was there any problem with the battle against Qian Renxue?"
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "I gained a lot from this battle with Qian Renxue. My strength should have also improved to a certain extent. It seems it's time to find my ninth spirit ring."
The Dragon Duke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sect Leader, the Jialing Pass battlefield is very tense recently. Many people from our Body Sect have also been killed or injured."
"According to the reports from the front line, the Heaven Dou Empire and the Spirit Empire have been fighting continuously for more than ten days. Both sides have suffered heavy losses, and now both sides are seeking a turning point."
"Emperor Xue Ye has sent a letter, hoping that the Sect Leader can also go to the front line. At that time, you will be directly appointed as the commander-in-chief of the front line."
Yang Xiong thought carefully before speaking: "Senior Dragon Duke, now is not the time for me to go to the front line. If I appear on the front line rashly, I'm afraid Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue will also appear on the Jialing Pass battlefield, and then the battle situation will truly become unmanageable."
Yang Xiong knew very well that with his strength, coupled with the Asura Demon Sword in his hand, if he relied on the power of a divine artifact, neither Bibi Dong nor Golden Crocodile Douluo would likely be able to stop him.
When the Spirit Empire was facing a life-or-death situation, Qian Daoliu would definitely appear, and he currently had no confidence in defeating Qian Daoliu, so he did not plan to go to the front line.
Especially as the Dragon Duke said, both sides were currently in a huge tug-of-war. Jialing Pass was like a huge grinding mill, constantly grinding down personnel from both sides.
Moreover, Yang Xiong did not intend to bully ordinary people with the power of a divine artifact, otherwise, it would not be very meaningful.
After all, given the current situation, as long as Qian Renxue reached level 99, she could become the new Angel God at any time. With Qian Renxue's talent, she would likely be the first person in this world to become a god.
If Qian Renxue became a god at that time, and he had no means, the outcome of everything would become unknown.
Yang Xiong thought for a moment before speaking: "Senior Dragon Duke, please arrange for personnel to notify the Jialing Pass front line and have Ning Rongrong, Oscar, Yang Wei, Qin Shuang, Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, and Huo Wu all return. I have something to discuss with them."
The Dragon Duke was also surprised to hear this: "Sect Leader, I'm afraid that's not a good idea. They are all fighting at Jialing Pass now. If all seven of them leave at the same time, the Heaven Dou army will suffer huge losses. Without their help, the Heaven Dou Empire might even collapse."
Yang Xiong shook his head: "The situation at Jialing Pass should be fine for now. In terms of the number of Title Douluo, the Heaven Dou Empire still has a certain advantage. Ning Rongrong and the other seven have not reached the Title Douluo level yet and cannot truly affect the battle situation."
"Furthermore, this matter is of great importance. I need them to return immediately for my next arrangements. It's also a good thing for them."
Yang Xiong was also very strange about the Jialing Pass battlefield now. Both sides seemed to be fighting fiercely, but they hadn't truly suffered any significant damage. At least, no Title Douluo from either side had fallen.
Especially according to the battle reports, Tang San and Bibi Dong had fought several times, and they were completely evenly matched. Tang San even became stronger the more he fought, going from being weaker than Bibi Dong at the beginning to now being able to handle her with ease.
And Tang San's biggest change was his Blue Silver Grass. The entire Blue Silver Grass had become incredibly fierce and dark, and it was extremely lethal to ordinary personnel.
Now Yang Xiong even suspected that Tang San had also been favored by some god, otherwise, with Tang San's personality, he wouldn't do something he wasn't confident about.
Otherwise, on the Jialing Pass battlefield, the Heaven Dou Empire had two more Title Douluo. With Tang San's intelligence, he would definitely be able to find a way to use the advantage in the number of Title Douluo to encircle and annihilate the Spirit Empire.
It should be known that the Spirit Empire only had eleven Title Douluo, while the Heaven Dou Empire had thirteen Title Douluo, as well as the assistance of Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong. This gap in top-tier strength was not so easy to bridge.
If Tang San and the others were to go all out on the front line, they could completely use the method of Tian Ji's horse racing to annihilate the experts of the Spirit Empire, not to mention that the Heaven Dou Empire also had Dugu Bo, a great weapon.
Yang Xiong had a feeling that both Bibi Dong and Tang San seemed to be letting the situation fall into a stalemate, allowing casualties on both sides.
It should be known that in terms of battlefield strength, the current Heaven Dou Empire was much stronger than in the original work, and the number of Title Douluo was also much higher.
Allowing a large number of people to die is somewhat similar to Bibi Dong's method of becoming a god in the original work, which is to break through the final level of Soul Master by relying on endless slaughter and killing intent.
The Dragon Duke still wanted to say something, especially about Emperor Xue Ye's attitude, but Yang Xiong directly waved his hand to refuse.
"Senior Dragon Duke, just go and arrange it immediately. If Ning Rongrong and the others come back, my chances will be a bit higher. As for the battlefield arrangements, just have someone directly find Sect Leader Ning and Elder Lin Gong, and they will arrange everything."
"As for the Heaven Dou Empire, don't worry about so much for now. We are helping the Heaven Dou Empire, not their subordinates."
Seeing Yang Xiong's unusual persistence, the Dragon Duke didn't say anything more. The Yang family's strength was now countless times stronger than the Dragon Duke's, not to mention that although Yang Xiong usually seemed relatively easygoing, when he truly made a decision, he was often resolute and did not allow anyone to question him.
At this moment, Yang Xiong stared intently at the new assessment content that appeared in his mind.
"Yang Xiong, Asura Nine Trials Fifth Trial: Find a new master for the Seagod's Heart. This person must be recognized by the Seagod's Heart. Assessment time limit is one year. Failure results in erasure."
Yang Xiong was also extremely strange about this trial from the Asura God. This trial seemed to have nothing to do with the Asura God himself. How could the Asura God leave such a trial?
However, Yang Xiong thought that the subsequent trials were all about choices, so it made a little sense.
The Sea God should theoretically be a subordinate of the Asura God. Could it be that the Asura God wanted him to establish his own team before becoming a god, and perhaps the Sea God was even more important than the Asura God in some sense?
One must know that although Tang San in the original work obtained the dual god inheritance of the Sea God and the Asura God, Tang San always referred to himself as the Sea God on Douluo Star. This was probably not only because of the Sea God's assessment content at the time, but also because he wanted to absorb the power of faith from Douluo Star.
Yang Xiong actually had plans for this new candidate long ago, he just hoped they wouldn't disappoint him.
