Chapter 210: Super Divine Artifact, Asura Demon Sword
"Why didn't you let me kill him? He actually looked at me with that disgusting gaze just now," Gu Yuena frowned and said.
Just thinking about it now made her feel uncomfortable all over.
As the Master of Soul Beasts, she had always been high and mighty, receiving the utmost respect. When had she ever been looked at with that kind of gaze by anyone?
Su Mo chuckled softly, "Alright, I am keeping him for a reason. You should have felt it too; the people here are none of them kind folks, so I need someone to keep them in check for me and prevent them from going out to wreak havoc on the continent."
Gu Yuena pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but she was still rather unhappy in her heart.
"Right, let me remind you by the way. From now on, when we reach human cities, you are not allowed to act as you please without my permission. Do you understand?"
"Understood."
"Alright, I am going to complete the Asura Gods Trial now. You and it stay here temporarily and wait for my return."
As he spoke, Su Mo handed the Three-Eyed Golden Lion in his arms over to Gu Yuena.
Gu Yuena took the Three-Eyed Golden Lion and nodded.
Immediately after, a blood-red small sword mark lit up on Su Mo's forehead.
The next moment, a dark blood-red spatial vortex appeared out of thin air in the center of the main hall.
Subsequently, Su Mo stepped into the vortex, and his figure vanished into the main hall along with the vortex.
Light and shadow shifted.
Su Mo stood before a towering dark-red palace.
Massive stone doors stood before him, covered in intricate patterns that exuded an ancient and cold aura.
"I should be able to go in now, right?"
Su Mo murmured to himself, then raised his hand to press against the stone doors and gave a hard push.
Rumble…
A muffled sound echoed in the empty space.
The stone doors slowly opened to both sides, revealing the scene inside the main hall.
The interior of the main hall was very spacious, with dim lighting and entirely dark-red in color.
In the very center of the hall, a sword was suspended.
That was a blood-red giant sword, surrounded all over by a dark-red radiance.
The appearance of the blade was almost identical to Su Mo's Martial Soul, with the only difference being its size.
This sword was nearly two meters long, and the blade was wide and thick.
This was precisely the Asura Demon Sword, the super Divine Artifact of Asura God.
Su Mo stood at the entrance of the main hall, looking at that sword with a firm gaze, and then stepped into the hall.
However, just as he took a few steps, the Asura Demon Sword emitted a hum, and the blood-red light on the surface of the blade suddenly surged.
In an instant, a chill rushed towards him, an icy coldness that seemed capable of directly freezing the Soul.
Simultaneously, a violent desire for slaughter instantly flooded into Su Mo's spiritual sea, attempting to control him and turn him into a machine that only knew how to kill.
However, Su Mo's footsteps only paused for a moment before he continued moving forward.
He walked step by step toward the Asura Demon Sword, his gaze remaining clear and firm.
But as he got closer to the Asura Demon Sword, the Killing Intent also grew denser.
Yet, his expression remained unchanged throughout.
As for this stage of the test, Su Mo roughly understood it.
The Asura Demon Sword accompanied slaughter; to gain its approval, one had to prove that they would not be devoured by the desire for slaughter.
If it were an ordinary person, even a powerhouse at the Titled Douluo level, it would be difficult to maintain clarity in the face of this dense Killing Intent, and they would likely turn into a bloodthirsty slaughter machine.
But Su Mo was different.
His Martial Soul was the Asura Demon Sword; from the very day of his Martial Soul Awakening, Killing Intent had accompanied him.
Later in the Asura Secret Realm, he had endured a full year of erosion by Killing Intent, fighting against those negative emotions day and night. He had long since mastered Killing Intent freely.
Therefore, when this dense Killing Intent poured into his body, it was like a droplet merging into a river, failing to stir up any ripples at all; instead, it would become his power.
Before long, Su Mo stood right in front of the Asura Demon Sword.
Without any hesitation, he raised his right hand and firmly grasped the hilt, feeling an icy chill upon contact.
However, right at this moment, as if infuriated, the blood-red light on the surface of the Asura Demon Sword erupted abruptly, illuminating the entire main hall in a crimson glow.
The blade vibrated violently, emitting a sharp hum as if trying to break free from Su Mo's grip.
Simultaneously, Killing Intent several times denser than before surged crazily into his body through Su Mo's right hand.
Su Mo's figure shuddered abruptly.
Because that Killing Intent came too fiercely and too quickly, catching him off guard.
But he quickly steadied his stance and rapidly absorbed that violent Killing Intent, converting it all into his own power.
Right at this moment, the humming sound of the Asura Demon Sword stopped abruptly.
The blood-red radiance on the surface of the blade also gradually receded.
The Asura Demon Sword was no longer violent or resistant, but instead was tamely held in Su Mo's hand.
Su Mo looked down at the Asura Demon Sword in his hand and raised his hand to stroke the blade.
The blade was icy and smooth, and even carried a sense of intimacy.
The corners of his lips curved slightly upward, revealing a satisfied smile: "Not bad!"
Although he already had two super Divine Artifacts in his hands now, to be honest, he still felt that the Asura Demon Sword was smoother to use.
Although the Scepter of Destruction was also strong, after all, he had used a sword for so many years; that kind of feeling was something a scepter could not provide.
Right at this moment, a cold prompt tone sounded in Su Mo's mind:
"Seventh Trial of Asura, obtain the approval of the Asura Demon Sword, passed. Reward: 15% Asura Affinity, current total affinity 95%."
With a thought, Su Mo put away the Asura Demon Sword and casually reviewed the content of the Eighth Trial.
Eighth Trial of Asura, battle a wisp of Divine Thought from Asura God, persist for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, can give up midway, time limit one year.
Su Mo pondered for a moment.
A one-year time limit was very ample, but he did not plan to waste time.
After all, Asura God had already begun urging him.
Therefore, he planned to complete both the Eighth Trial and Ninth Trial together before returning.
Pulling back his thoughts, Su Mo strode out of the palace.
He stood on the open ground in front of the palace gates and looked up into mid-air.
He saw a dark-red figure slowly condensing and forming in mid-air.
That was an illusory figure condensed from divine force with a blurred face, precisely a wisp of Divine Thought from Asura God.
However, even if it was just a wisp of Divine Thought, the coercion emitted by that illusory figure was extremely terrifying. Even if a super Douluo stood here, facing this wisp of Divine Thought, they would probably have no chance of winning at all.
At this moment, Su Mo took a deep breath, and his gaze turned sharp.
This battle was destined not to be easy, but he did not need to defeat the opponent; he only needed to persist for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, so the difficulty was not high.
He flipped his right hand, and the Asura Demon Sword Martial Soul condensed and manifested.
One yellow, two purple, one black, four red, one gold—nine Soul Rings emerged around his body.
Grasping the hilt tightly, his figure soared from the ground, flying into mid-air to face the illusory figure of Asura God from a distance.
His expression was very calm, but the depths of his eyes were filled with Battle Intent.
Ever since his Breakthrough to Titled, he had not had a thoroughly enjoyable battle.
And today, it was just the right time to test his own strength.
"Come on!" Su Mo said with a firm expression.
