Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Asura Domain
Yang Podi had been staying in the Asura God Light for a long time, and as time passed, the level of steps he could remain on gradually increased.
At first, he could only stay on the 500th level for long periods. If he stayed too long, his entire mindset would change, becoming unusually cold and indifferent.
However, within the Asura God Light, Yang Podi's body and soul power seemed to undergo subtle changes. In particular, his domain became more easily altered.
After about three months, Yang Podi could remain on the 800th level. Through countless confrontations within his domain, his Killing God domain gradually transformed into a Slaughter Domain.
Especially after entering the Slaughter Domain, he felt that his entire body and mind underwent immense change. He began to see everything as insignificant, as if viewing them like ants.
The Slaughter Domain also had a special feature: Skill restriction. In the Slaughter Domain, it formed a scene similar to the Slaughter City, where opponents could not release any soul skills.
On the other hand, if the reverse effect of the slaughter Domain was applied to a Soul Master's body, it could greatly enhance their killing characteristics. It could even allow them to release soul skills in the Slaughter City. It was likely that Tang Chen became the King of Slaughter and ruled the entire Killing City by relying on this Slaughter Domain.
After another three months, Yang Podi could now remain on the 900th level. His domain seemed to have strengthened once again, and he could even contend with the Asura God Light on the 900th level.
Whether it was the Soul Breaking Domain or the Gravity Domain, both had changed. Through countless collisions and adaptations of the domains, both seemed to be evolving, even hinting that the three domains might merge into one.
After yet another three months, Yang Podi was now able to stay on the 1000th level. His entire body seemed to have undergone a transformation, especially with the three domains, which seemed to have reached their peak.
The Slaughter Domain had reached its ultimate form, seemingly on the verge of transformation. The Soul Breaking Domain had evolved into an ultimate Metal Domain, where an endless metallic aura could envelop his body, seemingly able to tear through anything, and he could control all metallic elements within the domain.
The Gravity Domain now resembled an ultimate Power Domain, or perhaps it could be called the Force Domain. In this domain, all forces seemed to be under his control. A light strike could unleash boundless power, seemingly capable of shattering mountains.
The final level, however, seemed to be a chasm between god and man, like a heaven-split abyss.
But Yang Podi was unafraid. He fully unleashed the three domains to their utmost, and eventually took the final step, a step that felt like the roar of a mountain and the tide of the sea, as if the entire world were slightly changing—this was a mortal challenging a deity.
Once he took that final step, the Slaughter Domain once again changed, finally evolving into the Asura Domain, the ultimate killing path, and a true divine-level domain.
The moment Yang Podi took that final step, the pressure on him instantly vanished, and he felt incredibly light.
At the same time, Yang Podi himself underwent a tremendous transformation. His entire body was filled with killing intent, far stronger than when he first obtained the Killing God domain. Just standing there, he seemed to emit a blood-red aura, chilling everyone around him.
Yang Podi even felt that his mindset had undergone a great change. He had become even more decisive, no longer influenced by the killing aura. It felt as though it had seeped into his very bones.
After crossing the 1001st level, Yang Podi arrived in a massive divine hall. The hall was towering, with a large throne in the center. The entire hall was blood-red, as though it were submerged in a sea of blood.
At the same time, a voice rang out in Yang Podi's mind: "The first trial of the Asura Nine Trials is complete. Reward: Asura affinity 10%."
Before him appeared the content of the second trial of the Asura Nine Trials: "Asura Blood Sea. Must soak in the Asura Blood Sea for no less than twelve hours every day, for a duration of one year. Time can accumulate."
Yang Podi thought about it for a moment. Based on the situation, this second trial of the Asura God seemed similar to the Sea God Island's Furious Tidal Abyss, so the Asura Blood Sea was probably not simple.
Soon, a flash of red light enveloped the entire Asura Divine Hall, and Yang Podi found himself back on the altar.
This time, however, the altar was no longer on the Hell Road but in front of a vast blood sea. This blood sea seemed to be beneath the Hell Road.
Before him was a vast, blood-red ocean, seemingly boundless. The sea appeared to be boiling with countless waves of blood, emanating an eerie aura.
Yang Podi didn't hesitate and immediately jumped into the Asura Blood Sea.
Unexpectedly, this Asura Blood Sea was completely different from the Asura God Light. If the Asura God Light was for tempering his soul power and domain, then the Asura Blood Sea was for tempering his body.
Once Yang Podi entered the Asura Blood Sea, an extremely strong corrosive power began to erode his body. It felt similar to when he had entered the lava before, but it was even more painful than the lava.
The Asura Blood Sea also contained Asura divine power. It didn't just harm his skin, but it also deeply affected his blood, bones, marrow, and even soul.
In particular, besides the Asura divine power, the blood sea seemed to emanate another chilling, evil aura. It seemed the Rakshasa God was using this Asura Blood Sea to disturb the entire Killing City.
As time passed, Yang Podi felt his mindset changing, becoming more frenzied and more prone to falling into slaughter. It seemed like the resentment of countless souls was entering his mind.
From the appearance of these resentments, there were countless figures, many of whom seemed to be people Yang Podi had killed in the Slaughter City. It seemed these were the resentments of all the deceased from the Slaughter City.
On the first day, Yang Podi only stayed in the Asura Blood Sea for ten hours before returning to the altar. He felt that if he stayed any longer, he might fall into madness.
After emerging from the Asura Blood Sea, Yang Podi looked at his hands. His palms seemed to have undergone a slight change.
Previously, his hands weren't particularly pale, but the calluses on them were clear. Now, however, his palms had changed, with faint blood-red patterns appearing, similar to the demonic runes that Tang Chen had once displayed.
It seemed that these demonic runes had a tendency to spread. After spending an entire year in the Asura Blood Sea, his entire body, even his martial soul, might be covered in these demonic runes, possibly turning him into a demon-like being.
And from the evil and cold aura he had just sensed, it seemed that Tang Chen had likely fallen due to this very trial.
Yang Podi was puzzled. Didn't Tang Chen pass the Asura Seven Trials? Wasn't it the eighth trial that the Rakshasa God took advantage of? Why was his second trial so difficult?
In the Divine Realm, in the Asura Divine Hall.
The Asura God and the Sea God were sitting together. Between them was a massive mirror, showing Yang Podi's image.
The Sea God looked at the Asura God with a puzzled expression: "Asura God, what are you doing? This is clearly the content of the eighth Asura trial, yet it has become the second trial. And the duration has been greatly increased. Aren't you afraid this kid will become the second Tang Chen?"
The Asura God looked at Yang Podi's figure in the mirror, his face turning serious: "This is indeed the content of the eighth trial. Do you think the other trials are meaningful for this kid?"
"This kid passed through the Asura God Light in just nine months. The difficulty has increased more than tenfold compared to Tang Chen's time. The other trials are meaningless to him. Back then, Tang Chen's trial was only the 668th level, but this kid passed through the Asura God Light. It shows that his talent and foundation are both exceptional."
The Sea God shook his head slightly. "Since this boy has such outstanding talent in all respects, shouldn't you take it even more seriously? This eighth trial is completely different from the others. Within the Asura Blood Sea, there isn't just your divine power but also the divine power of the Rakshasa God. A single mistake could easily lead to his downfall."
The Asura's God face turned grim. "In the normal sequence of the Asura Nine Trials, the first trial should be obtaining the Killing God Domain. But this boy had already acquired the Killing God Domain long ago and can even control it perfectly. Now, he has even mastered the Asura Domain. In a certain sense, he should already be considered a demigod. Even the Rakshasa God won't be able to invade him easily."
"What he truly lacks now is a divine body. As long as he can pass the trial of the Asura Blood Sea, not even the gods would find it easy to deal with him. If he succeeds in passing through, he might even be able to touch the threshold of godhood himself."
The Sea God still looked slightly unconvinced. "Asura, aren't you forgetting that this boy probably still doesn't have a torso spirit bone? Even if he passes through the trial of the Asura Blood Sea, his body will ultimately have shortcomings."
The Asura God stared intently at Yang Podi's figure in the mirror, his eyes flickering slightly. "Sea God, are you forgetting his full-body Martial Soul? This Martial Soul, after undergoing multiple evolutions, is already no weaker than a god-level Martial Soul. In fact, in some respects, it might even be superior. Do you think there's still room for this Martial Soul to evolve further?"
Hearing this, the Sea God also fell into ccontemplation
The content of Yang Podi's next trial was relatively simple.
He had to spend over twelve hours each day immersed in the Asura Blood Sea. For the rest of the time, aside from consuming small amounts of food, he was to sit alone on the altar in quiet reflection.
The mysterious energy in the Asura Blood Sea caused immense corrosion to the human body, seemingly always on the verge of drawing one into madness. Maintaining an absolutely calm and peaceful mind was the only way to ensure safety during this process.
Having the prior experience of controlling the Killing God Domain, Yang Podi's mental state seemed to have reached a higher level.
Each day, while meditating on the altar, he silently recited the Heart Sutra countless times. Especially whenever his mind was close to losing control, the Heart Sutra seemed to be a cure-all remedy.
As time slowly passed, Yang Podi's entire body seemed to undergo significant changes.
His entire body gradually became covered with demonic patterns.
At first, the patterns only appeared on his palms. As time passed, they began to extend to his limbs and face. Eventually, they appeared on his torso. By the end, the patterns seemed to have reached his heart and brain—the two most vital parts of the human body.
Moreover, the demonic patterns seemed to be evolving as well. At first, they appeared very conspicuous and rough. But as time passed, the patterns became increasingly intricate and fine. By the end, all the patterns seemed to form a single cohesive whole. If one didn't look closely, it would be nearly impossible to distinguish them.
Of course, during this process, Yang Podi also felt his body changing. His skin seemed to be enveloped by a special kind of energy. As this energy grew stronger, it gradually permeated his blood and bones, eventually even reaching deep into his marrow.
