Chapter 155: The Body of Asura
In the Killing City, on the Hell Road, ever since Yang Xiong leaped into the Blood River, the entire Killing City seemed to fall into complete stillness. The collapse of the Hell Road had stopped, and even the Blood River appeared eerily calm.
At that moment, a hand stretched out from the edge of the Blood River, blood-red in color, covered with strange patterns, looking incredibly terrifying.
The hand gripped the wall with such force that, even though the wall was hard, five holes were left where it had grabbed.
Soon after, another hand emerged from the Blood River, similarly gripping the stone wall.
As the two hands climbed the wall, a blood-red figure began to emerge from the Blood River.
The figure was entirely blood-red, with eerie patterns covering its body. Even the hair was blood-red, and the eyes were an unusual crimson.
This figure was none other than Yang Xiong. He didn't know how long he had been in the Blood River. He had only relied on his willpower and survival instinct to withstand the pain from the Blood River. Finally, his body's instincts helped him crawl out.
At that moment, Yang Xiong resembled a fierce beast, his hands gripping the stone wall as he moved, slowly climbing toward the light gate.
When he passed through the light gate, it felt like he was in the center of a vortex. Even the willpower he had been relying on seemed to dissipate in that instant, and he fell unconscious again.
In the Divine Realm, within a massive blood-red temple.
In the center of the temple was a gigantic throne, and sitting on it was a blood-red giant.
The giant's blood-red eyes watched the image on the table. The image showed a blood-red figure struggling to climb, seemingly trying to break through some kind of limit.
A rare smile appeared on the blood-red giant's face. "Now, this is interesting. I didn't expect that there would be such a martial soul in this world, nor did I expect someone to use the Blood River I left behind to breakthrough. This kid is quite bold, and yet he succeeded."
"Too bad, he's still too weak. If he could grow, he might surprise me."
...
When Yang Xiong woke up again, he found himself in a lush forest. The air was filled with the familiar scent of life, making him feel incredibly at ease.
He felt as though he had narrowly escaped death. The pain in the Blood River was unbearable, and it felt like his body and soul were about to melt away. He was lucky to have survived, and even luckier that he had absorbed the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor soul bone and the Xuanming Armor auxiliary soul bone. Otherwise, he might have truly perished.
But as Yang Xiong recalled, when he finally climbed out of the Blood River, he seemed to have seen a massive palace and a blood-red figure.
In that brief moment, his soul seemed to shatter, as if standing before a deity.
Yang Xiong even felt that his martial soul had formed some kind of connection with that massive deity.
When Yang Xiong observed his body, he found that there was no major change, except that his once-black hair had turned blood-red.
Yang Xiong felt something strange; it seemed as though he was naked, likely because his clothes had been dissolved by the Blood River. However, his soul tools appeared undamaged, suggesting the Blood River was not ordinary.
He quickly changed into new clothes, relieved that no one had seen him in such a state.
When Yang Xiong summoned his martial soul again, his entire body turned blood-red, and strange white patterns appeared across his skin.
At that moment, Yang Xiong was filled with immense joy. After summoning his martial soul, he realized that both his martial soul and his body had undergone changes.
He could clearly feel that his strength, speed, attack power, and defense had all drastically improved, far more than when he underwent the Silver-level awakening after the Ice and Fire Body Refining.
Normally, after a martial soul is summoned, the Silver-level awakening would double one's power and attack ability, but now, Yang Xiong's abilities had increased three times compared to before.
Yang Xiong was ecstatic. This adventure had truly been worth it. His original martial soul had finally reached the Golden-level awakening.
Now, Yang Xiong was filled with confidence. From this moment on, his talent would no longer be inferior to anyone else. His martial soul could now rival true divine-level martial souls, and it was even stronger and more practical than theirs.
Yang Xiong carefully sensed the white patterns covering his body and felt a rush of white light erupt from his body. Under the white light's aura, all the surrounding life forms seemed to tremble. Whether it was plants, birds, beasts, or insects, everything appeared to be suppressed in that instant.
This was the materialization of killing intent, which formed a domain.
This was the Killing God domain, the result of Yang Xiong's two years of training in the Killing City and surviving the Hell Road.
Within the Killing God domain, his strength increased by twenty percent, while his enemies' strength was suppressed by ten percent.
What was more unique about Yang Xiong's domain was that his martial soul had a much stronger growth potential. As his soul power increased, the boost to his abilities and the suppression of his enemies would grow even more pronounced.
As Yang Xiong observed his Killing God domain, he felt something was off. Normally, for others like Hu Liena or Tang San, their Killing God domains would have white bat-shaped patterns attached to their martial souls.
However, in Yang Xiong's domain, the white patterns covered his entire body, and there seemed to be a faint change in them.
Yang Xiong suddenly had a realization, and a wave of intense excitement surged within him.
For others, this might be a talent domain, but for his martial soul, the Killing God domain seemed to have fused completely with his martial soul, meaning that when he reached the Soul Sage level and summoned his martial soul's true body, the Killing God domain could become even stronger. It might even undergo further evolution.
Normally, soul masters could only fully unleash their talent domain once they reached the Soul Sage level, but it seemed that for Yang Xiong, both his killing intent and domain had already fused with his martial soul and body. This meant that his Killing God domain would likely grow more easily.
He remembered that in the original story, Qian Renxue's Angel domain was a talent domain, but when she used her martial soul's true body, the power of the Angel domain nearly doubled. That was the true form of the Angel domain.
Yang Xiong felt that he was now somewhat like Qian Renxue. When his martial soul's true body was summoned, his Killing God domain would undoubtedly become even more formidable.
All of this was thanks to his martial soul's Golden-level awakening, with the domain now attached to both his martial soul and his body.
Suddenly, Yang Xiong realized something very important: when he used the Killing God domain, the consumption of soul power was minimal, as if it was a natural attribute of his martial soul.
At that moment, Yang Xiong couldn't help but laugh wildly. After this refining process, especially with the reawakening of his martial soul, Yang Xiong's soul power had now reached level 58. His strength had noticeably increased, likely due to the effect of absorbing power-type soul rings over the years.
His mental strength had also grown significantly and should now have reached the peak of the third stage of the Purple Extreme Demon Eyes: the "Mustard Seed" stage.
Yang Xiong named his martial soul the Asura Body. After the refining, his muscles seemed to have become slimmer, but the strength of every muscle and cell had increased significantly.
...
After taking in the changes in his body, Yang Xiong prepared to leave the area.
At this moment, he felt an overwhelming, violent rage building up inside him. The killing intent within him seemed ready to explode, and he needed to find a place to fully control it as soon as possible.
Yang Xiong dressed in black and moved through the forest, planning to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as quickly as possible.
During the day, he dug holes to hide, as the sunlight was too strong. After spending so long in the darkness of the Killing City, his eyes and body weren't fully accustomed to it.
Moreover, during the day, he could easily run into people, and given his current state, it was easy to anger him. His killing intent was fully visible, and he looked far from normal—more like a beast.
Whenever Yang Xiong felt himself losing control, he would immerse his entire body in water.
But even when submerged in streams or rivers, the water would quickly turn blood-red.
The past two years in the Killing City had been incredibly tense, and his entire body was filled with killing intent. This aura had even integrated into his blood and soul, making even his gaze full of murderous intent.
After more than ten days, Yang Xiong finally returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The sect members were shocked at his appearance. Although Yang Xiong was usually low-key, he still had a relatively upright and masculine image.
Now, dressed entirely in black with his head covered, and exuding a terrifying aura, he looked nothing like his usual self.
Yang Xiong said nothing. He suppressed his killing intent and took out a token. "I'm Yang Xiong. Take me to see the Sect Master."
The gatekeeper, upon seeing Yang Xiong's appearance and the token, said nothing more and led him straight to Ning Fengzhi's office.
When Yang Xiong arrived at Ning Fengzhi's office, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Rongrong were all present.
Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed to see Yang Xiong. "Xiao Xiong, you've finally returned from the Killing City!"
Yang Xiong nodded but looked pained and ferocious. The killing intent inside him had been forcefully suppressed for quite some time.
Ning Rongrong was even happier, rushing to embrace Yang Xiong. "Little Xiong, you're finally back. You can't leave without telling me next time."
Sword Douluo shouted, "Rongrong, be careful! Don't get close to Xiao Xiong. He's dangerous right now."
Sword Douluo quickly stepped in front of Ning Rongrong, his face stern. "Xiao Xiong, your killing intent is too strong. You must have just come out of the Killing City. Right now, you can't control your killing intent. It's best not to come in contact with others."
Yang Xiong nodded. "Teacher Jian, I feel like my body is about to explode. I need to find a quiet and safe place immediately, or I fear I might lose control and hurt someone."
Sword Douluo nodded. "I'm here, it's fine. You can try not to suppress your killing intent, and I'll figure out a way to control it."
Hearing this, Yang Xiong relaxed a little and stopped forcibly suppressing his killing intent.
In that instant, his body turned blood-red, and a terrifying white light erupted from him. The entire room seemed to be under attack, with everything trembling.
Sword Douluo shouted loudly, and his body exuded a terrifying deep blue aura, like a sword unsheathed—his Seven Killing Domain.
The room was instantly filled with their two domains, and their energies clashed.
Bone Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, and the others were all stunned. "Killing God Domain!"
Sword Douluo gently touched Yang Xiong's forehead with two fingers. Immediately, Yang Xiong felt his soul being pierced by a sword. His killing intent was suppressed in an instant, and blood trickled from his mouth.
When both energies dissipated, Yang Xiong was sitting on the ground, drenched in sweat, feeling as if all his strength and soul power had been drained.
Ning Fengzhi quickly summoned the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. "Eight Treasures True Body!"
The massive Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda released multiple beams of light that rushed into Yang Xiong's body. He felt his body and soul power rapidly recover under its boost.
