Qianren Xue's Martial Soul is the Six-winged Angel, while her Dark Body has transformed into the Dark Six-winged Fallen Angels.
At this moment, Ye Yu is facing 256 Skeleton Soldiers, each one at the level of a Level 71 Soul Saint. Combined, even a Level 80 Soul Douluo would not be a match.
Ye Yu does not release his Martial Soul, using only External Soul Bone and the Origin of Evil, along with his full strength, and the Slaying God Spirit Realm.
Facing such a large number of enemies, the Slaying God Domain showcased its terrifying capabilities. With Ye Yu's current strength, the Slaying God Domain covers a hundred-meter radius, weakening the enemies by fifteen percent when they approach this area.
The trials in the City of Slaughter have made Ye Yu stronger, coupled with the enhancement of his body by the Origin of Evil, the boost from his Level of Voidification, and various Soul Bones.
Ye Yu's current strength, even without using his Martial Soul, is comparable to a Level 81 Soul Douluo.
A standard Level 81 Soul Douluo would not be able to withstand this, but Ye Yu's life force and endurance are formidable, unafraid of a prolonged battle.
Boom boom boom...
256 Skeleton Soldiers charge from all directions in various forms, causing the ground to tremble as they approach.
Ye Yu charges in a burst, swinging his Dragon Arm, diving into the fray, his Sensing Ability elevated to the extreme, making it difficult for the Skeleton Soldiers to hit him.
Ye Yu's sense method is similar to the Free Will Extreme Intent Skill, achievable only by someone with his constitution.
Reactions based on thought have limited speed. Processing from the five senses to the brain and then through nerves to the body takes time. If every part of the body can independently judge and take action, it can dodge any danger.
This is the evasion method Ye Yu has comprehended, but he hasn't mastered it completely yet, only occasionally achieving it fleetingly. Therefore, facing the Skeleton Soldiers excites him as it serves as a perfect opportunity for practice.
Surrounded, Ye Yu sweeps with his Dragon Arm, sending waves of Skeleton Soldiers flying, turning them into debris.
Ye Yu does sustain hits—there are just too many enemies—but nothing that causes harm.
In this kind of numerical situation, no one would dare charge straight in; it requires deft maneuvers to handle them one by one. Yet Ye Yu boldly charges in without fear due to his robust physique and the enhancement from the Origin of Evil.
Ye Yu's terrifying strength is displayed vividly in this moment.
Formidable power, speed, defense, and reflexes, combined with his strong life energy and constitution, allow him to both attack and endure.
Half an hour later, Ye Yu has eliminated all 256 Skeleton Soldiers.
An instant later, Ye Yu frowns slightly as 512 Skeleton Soldiers appear suddenly and charge again.
For any other Soul Douluo, the situation would surely be despairing: 512 Level 71 Soul Saints, equivalent to the sum of all Soul Saints on the continent.
The Slaying God Domain weakens each Skeleton Soldier to Level 70, and the battle resumes.
The booming sounds are unceasing. After killing 512 Skeleton Soldiers, Ye Yu is somewhat out of breath, this time taking two hours.
Doubling the numbers doesn't equate to doubling difficulty; rather, the challenge compounds.
Ye Yu, although not using Soul Power, is a Level 66, and has now killed nearly a thousand Level 71 Soul Saints in total—an unimaginable feat.
Ye Yu inwardly mused, "It should be over now, right?"
Yet in the next second, Ye Yu scowls deeply as densely packed Skeleton Soldiers appear again, rushing forward without giving him a moment's respite.
1024 Skeleton Soldiers! Each one at Level 71.
Such a number, the entire continent doesn't have nearly that many.
Even a Level 89 Soul Douluo would face inevitable death.
Ye Yu didn't anticipate it being this arduous, which suggests that this Divine Artifact must be extremely formidable.
"Is this meant to force those who enter to reveal their Dark Body? Without using Soul Power here, survival is impossible. Using Soul Power would bring out the Dark Body. This place is far more challenging than the City of Slaughter and the Road to Hell, by a hundredfold."
Ye Yu felt both excited and intrigued, wondering what kind of Divine Artifact it would be.
Ye Yu continued the slaughter; he lost track of how much time passed, no longer having the energy to keep count.
After killing 1024 Skeleton Soldiers, Ye Yu was gasping like a bull, his Dragon Arm weary, his face covered in sweat, his body battered and bruised.
Though robust, concentrated attacks from thousands at one point naturally cause injury.
Ye Yu took twelve hours to kill 1024 Skeleton Soldiers, an impossible feat without using Soul Techniques, but his two years of training in the City of Slaughter made it possible.
Crack crack crack...
The ground around cracks again, prompting Ye Yu to lift his head suddenly, raising his drooping Dragon Arm with a fierce aura.
This wave: 2048 Skeleton Soldiers!
Ye Yu's heart shook; this secret realm was too difficult. If even he felt challenged, others would find it impossible to pass.
One must know, only those under forty can enter. Besides himself, even super geniuses are at most Soul Saints, slightly over Level 70.
Facing ten of equal level would mean certain death, let alone one hundred or a thousand.
Such difficulty isn't just daunting—it's despairing, insurmountable, but Ye Yu became more courageous as he fought.
Ye Yu continued fighting. The terror here was such that as one wave ended, another came instantaneously, offering no chance to breathe.
Ye Yu could no longer dodge, with various attacks landing on him due to his exhausted state.
After killing two hundred, Ye Yu was gravely injured, released his Martial Soul, and used his First Soul Skill, healing eighty percent instantly.
After healing, he retracted his Martial Soul, the red streams emanating from his body multiplying from three to hundreds.
After all, using Soul Bone also consumed Soul Power. The recent fight wasn't purely physical strength, it included Soul Power use.
Once healed, Ye Yu resumed his slaughter rapidly.
A day later, Ye Yu again found himself gravely injured and depleted, with 500 Skeleton Soldiers remaining; he healed again and resumed fighting.
At this moment, the red air on Ye Yu's body was emerging in small clusters. He knew he couldn't keep using healing.
Half a day later, all Skeleton Soldiers were dead; Ye Yu wondered to himself if there would be more?
If there were more, then Ye Yu couldn't imagine how terrifying this Divine Artifact could be. It had to match the difficulty in its greatness.
So difficult, this Divine Artifact should enhance far more than the Slaying God Domain does.
Crack crack crack crack...
Suddenly, Ye Yu's expression changed as he stared around in shock at the dense mass of Skeleton Soldiers appearing, even he was shocked with fear in his eyes.
"Damn it."
Ye Yu couldn't help but curse—are there really 4096!
4096 Level 71 Soul Saints, this is simply impossible.
Even if Ye Yu used his Martial Soul with all Soul Techniques and his Fifth Soul Skill to poison them, he would do it quickly, but the Dark Body would emerge by then.
Just then, a majestic voice echoed.
"To make it to this final step amazes me. Such a trial I deemed impossible for anyone to complete, even those incarnating from various Universe Origins couldn't achieve this at age forty. Yet you reached this stage at only sixteen; even as the strongest of the Sixth Cosmos' three Cosmic Origins, the Origin of Evil, you astonish me."
Ye Yu was thunderstruck—he knew about him being the Origin of Evil?
"Who are you? What do you mean by the Sixth Cosmos?"
"Even I must admit the power of the Origin of Evil, not only the strongest in the power of origin of the Sixth Cosmos, but one rarely met in other universes. As for who I am, the Holy Realm refers to me as the Invincible Blood God. I am from the Tenth Cosmos, each cosmos has three origins, and I am born from the Blood Origin."
Ye Yu was shaken—the Sixth Cosmos, the Tenth Cosmos.
Familiar with the original story, he knew Douluo Continent was just a small world and there was the Divine Realm. Even the gods of the Divine Realm continually explore further galaxies. Now Ye Yu realized the Divine Realm might not be the end.
