Douluo Dalu:Breaking Clan

After Yang Podi finished communicating with the purple-clad sea spirit master, he glanced at the still-dazed five people and said, "What are you all standing there in a daze for? Hurry up and start cultivating! Or are you really waiting for death? In the next year, I'll make you understand what true hell is."

The five swallowed nervously, immediately choosing the steps that best suited them, and began meditating and cultivating.

Watching the five of them, Yang Podi couldn't help but shake his head. He was starting to feel a little regretful. If he had known this earlier, he should have forced Oscar and Ning Rongrong, those two exceptional support-type soul masters, to join them. That way, the difficulty of their trials would have been significantly reduced. At most, he would've sacrificed two immortal herbs.

But now it was too late. Oscar and Ning Rongrong were, at best, at the Soul Ancestor level. Even with the help of immortal herbs, they could only reach the Soul King level at most. Their support capabilities were limited, and they were thousands of miles away.

Yang Podi then turned his gaze toward the distant Sea God Hall, a resolute look appearing in his eyes as he began his first attempt at climbing the steps.

For Yang Podi, the first 200 steps posed no pressure at all. He ascended them with ease, moving steadily and slowly. Upon reaching the 200th step, Yang Podi summoned his martial soul and spirit rings. When the two red spirit rings appeared, the onlookers in the shadows were stunned, especially the Seven Sacred Pillars of Sea God Island, who couldn't help but admire Yang Podi's extraordinary spirit ring configuration.

With his martial soul and spirit rings summoned, he used his soul power to resist the pressure, which was significantly alleviated. Yang Podi continued climbing steadily, seemingly unaffected.

It wasn't until he reached the 300th step that the pressure began to grow substantial. However, it still wasn't enough to hinder his progress, only slowing him down slightly.

At the 400th step, the pressure suddenly intensified significantly, reaching a level equivalent to that faced by a Titled Douluo.

Yet Yang Podi remained unfazed. Bearing the pressure, he continued advancing steadily.

Upon reaching the 500th step, the pressure on him was akin to a towering mountain, making it difficult for him to breathe. His soul power had already been pushed to its limit.

Yang Podi's eyes turned red as he unleashed his Killing God Domain, his body radiating a white glow to counter the golden Sea God's Light. He then continued climbing, step by step.

When he reached the 600th step, both his body and soul power seemed to reach their absolute limit, making it feel as though he could no longer take another step.

Gritting his teeth, Yang Podi looked toward the distant Sea God Hall, his determination unyielding. His body shone silver, revealing two more red spirit rings. His wings unfurled, and the golden tailbone spirit bone supported his body like a mighty pillar.

In the end, Yang Podi pushed every ounce of his strength to its extreme and managed to climb to the 699th step, unable to proceed further.

Yang Podi reluctantly glanced at the Sea God Hall in the distance before sighing and slowly retreating from the Sea God's Light. Although his physical qualities were outstanding, with only one 100,000-year spirit bone, he was ultimately lacking in some aspects.

The observers hidden in the shadows were astonished. They couldn't believe that a mere Soul Douluo like Yang Podi had managed to climb to the 699th step—an unprecedented feat.

Even Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi couldn't help but show a hint of emotion. "With Yang Podi's strength and physical capabilities, he might truly have the potential to pass the Sea God's trials. But why would the Sea God choose Yang Tianyue, whose strength is far inferior, as the heir?"

In the God Realm, within the Sea God Palace, Sea God watched Yang Podi's progress with a hint of admiration. He couldn't help but ask, "Asura God, such a remarkable talent—aren't you tempted to intervene?"

Asura God sneered. "Why wouldn't I? Isn't he currently honing himself on Sea God Island? Once he fully comprehends the Asura Path, he will naturally become the next Asura God."

Sea God smiled knowingly. "With Yang Podi's exceptional physique, do you think it's possible for him to contend with a god once he reaches Rank 99 and obtains a full set of supreme spirit bones? Could he even achieve godhood on his own?"

Asura God's expression remained cold. "Such an individual is worthy of inheriting my legacy."

Back at Sea God Island, everyone followed Yang Podi's training plan diligently. Yang Podi himself began cultivating on the 430th step.

The Sea God's Light was indeed an unparalleled cultivation environment, accommodating all life forms. Everyone's soul power steadily increased.

On average, they could increase their soul power by one rank every two months. Yang Tianyue's innate full soul power began to show its advantage—she only needed about a month and a half to increase her rank.

Everyone tirelessly pushed their limits, climbing the steps continuously. When their soul power was depleted, they replenished and recovered through medicinal baths before returning to the steps for more cultivation.

Weekly sparring sessions with Yang Podi left everyone heavily injured. Thankfully, Ye Lingling provided immediate healing, allowing them to recover quickly.

Six months later, Yang Tianyue became the first to reach a bottleneck, her soul power hitting Rank 70. At that moment, Sea God Douluo Bo Saixi appeared before them.

Facing their puzzled expressions, Bo Saixi explained, "For those undergoing the Sea God's trials, reaching a bottleneck for the first time grants you a god-bestowed spirit ring. This spirit ring will provide the most suitable spirit ability for you and will push your body to its limit. Yang Tianyue, this is a blessing from the Sea God. Focus and use all your willpower to endure. The more you endure, the greater the reward."

With those words, Bo Saixi summoned a golden orb. With a wave of her hand, the orb floated above Yang Tianyue's head.

Bo Saixi gently tapped the orb, causing it to burst. A surge of golden energy enveloped Yang Tianyue's body.

Yang Podi suddenly said, "Tianyue, follow the same process as when you absorb a spirit ring. Remember, push yourself to your limits. The more you surpass your limits, the higher the age of the spirit ring will be."

Yang Tianyue nodded solemnly, sitting down to begin absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring.

Bo Saixi cast a knowing smile at Yang Podi before leaving.

Yang Podi's heart sank. Bo Saixi's intentions were likely not pure. Given their lack of connection and the animosity between Sea God Island and the Clear Sky Sect, it was unlikely she would easily allow Tianyue to become a god. It seemed he would need to prepare some contingencies.

Yang Podi turned to the group. "Tianyue is just absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring. There's no danger. Keep cultivating—your turn will come too."

Encouraged, the group resumed their cultivation. Meanwhile, the soul power around Yang Tianyue grew increasingly dense, eventually forming a golden sphere that enveloped her body, resembling a cocoon.

After six months of training, everyone's soul power and physical attributes had improved significantly under the Sea God's Light. Their climbing capabilities had doubled compared to when they first started.

Based on their current progress, Yang Ping'an and Niu Meng would likely pass their trials with ease. Dugu Yan would face some difficulty but should manage with the help of her Eight Spider Lance spirit bone. The toughest challenges lay with Ye Lingling and Yang Tianyue.

Ye Lingling's soul power growth was astonishing, nearly matching Yang Tianyue's. The Immortal herb Yearning Heartbroken Red was indeed extraordinary, especially in enhancing her physical strength. With the addition of spirit rings, her chances of success were promising.

However, Tianyue's trial—climbing the 368th step—was a daunting task.

After six months of cultivation, Yang Podi's soul power had increased slightly, now reaching Rank 86. Another six months might see him at the peak of Rank 87, but reaching Rank 88 would be challenging without using the Sea God's Light to push his limits again.

Yang Tianyue spent two full months absorbing the god-bestowed spirit ring. When she finally emerged from the cocoon, her excitement was palpable. The blood-red spirit ring hovering around her shocked everyone.

With the successful absorption of the divine bestowed spirit ring, Yang Tianyue reached level 74, making others envious and spurring them to cultivate harder in hopes of improving their own strength and physical fitness to better absorb their future divine bestowed spirit rings.

Despite reaching level 74, Yang Tianyue could only barely climb to over 200 steps on the staircase, still far from meeting her assessment requirements.

After much deliberation, Yang Podi decided to give her the Star Luo Spirit Pearl he had. This was the only item left that could significantly aid her cultivation since the other immortal herbs were ineffective for her. After all, she had only consumed the Ink Jade God Bamboo a little over a year ago.

After absorbing the Star Luo Spirit Pearl, Yang Tianyue condensed a soul core, increasing her soul power by another level, reaching level 75. This allowed her to barely climb to over 250 steps, but her goal was still over 100 steps away.

Even with Ye Lingling constantly healing and supporting her, Yang Tianyue could only manage to reach around 280 steps at most, still unable to cross the 300-step threshold.

Yang Podi couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. By logic, the Sea God's trial, though challenging, shouldn't be entirely hopeless. The only potential solution he could think of was climbing alongside Tianyue and using his Killing God Domain to support her, which might give her a glimmer of hope.

Suddenly, Yang Podi remembered something. When Tianyue consumed the Ink Jade God Bamboo, an immortal herb most suited to her, her martial soul didn't evolve. The herb's effects seemed even slightly inferior to Ping'an's Nine-Rank Dragon Zhi. This didn't add up.

Reflecting on the effects of the Ink Jade God Bamboo, Yang Podi recalled that it primarily enhanced a martial soul's toughness and greatly increased its combat power. The bamboo's defining characteristic, however, was its resilience. This meant that both Tianyue's body and martial soul were far more resistant to pressure than others', explaining her rapid improvement. In terms of stair-climbing progress, she was even surpassing Tang San from the original story.

Yang Podi then considered the difference between Tianyue and Tang San: the domain. When Tang San obtained his seventh spirit ring, a 100,000-year ring, his Blue Silver Domain underwent a significant evolution. However, Tianyue, despite also having a 100,000-year spirit ring, hadn't awakened a domain. Perhaps this was due to the differences in their martial souls, but the gap shouldn't have been this large.

Yang Podi always believed that his Breaking Soul Spear martial soul would awaken a domain when he absorbed his seventh or eighth spirit ring. However, instead of fully awakening a domain, he only grasped two embryonic forms of domains, likely a limitation of his martial soul compared to true top-tier ones. Yet, he was confident that when he absorbed his ninth spirit ring, both domains would awaken simultaneously.

"Do you feel like you're about to awaken a domain? Or anything similar?" Yang Podi asked Tianyue.

After pondering for a moment, she replied, "I feel like I might, but it hasn't fully awakened. It feels like something's missing."

Yang Podi thought carefully before addressing the group, "From today onward, all of you will add a new type of training: enduring the attack of my Killing God Domain to experience the collision of domains firsthand."

Tianyue was puzzled. "Brother, will that really work?"

Yang Podi shook his head. "I underestimated the Ink Jade God Bamboo's impact on you. The only way to confront a domain is with another domain. Through repeated confrontations, your domain might fully awaken."

Thinking further, Yang Podi realized that when Tianyue, Ping'an, and Ye Lingling absorbed their seventh spirit rings, they all had the potential to awaken domains. The three of them had consumed top-tier immortal herbs, enhancing and evolving their martial souls.

What perplexed Yang Podi the most was why Tianyue was born with innate full soul power. Unless her martial soul, like Tang San's, hadn't fully awakened, it seemed plausible that her martial soul would undergo a second awakening later, producing a domain similar to Qian Renxue's Angel Domain at level 70.

If this pattern held, Tianyue and Ping'an might only complete their martial soul transformations and awaken their domains upon reaching level 90. However, Yang Podi couldn't afford to wait and had to find a way to force their second awakenings early.

As for Ye Lingling, she was likely to awaken her domain at level 70, potentially a terrifying Life Domain.
