Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

As Su Ming absorbed his god-given soul ring, Dugu Bo's pupils contracted slightly, noticing that Su Ming's ninth soul ring started in a brilliant orange-red. Gradually, it shifted to a greenish hue, outlined with a vivid gold.

A green-gold soul ring!

This was the mark of a million-year soul ring!

Incredible, this "little monster" had achieved a million-year ninth soul ring!

With the successful absorption, Su Ming's aura surged, pushing him to the peak of level ninety-nine!

Two days spent absorbing two million-year soul bones and a million-year soul ring had propelled his cultivation to an astonishing level.

Su Ming stretched, exhaling deeply. He felt more invigorated than ever.

In the God Realm

The Goddess of Life, who had been monitoring Su Ming's progress, was at a loss for words.

The fifth trial had only required Su Ming to gather all his soul bones, yet he'd found and absorbed two million-year soul bones! And the god-given soul ring she provided shouldn't have had enough energy to support a million-year ninth ring, should it?

Had she made a mistake?

Meanwhile, the Sea God was far from calm.

What the…!

Su Ming's progress had accelerated dramatically, and with two million-year soul bones and a million-year soul ring, how could Tang San compete?

Was he expected to headbutt Su Ming into submission?

The Sea God muttered in frustration, while the God of Destruction chuckled beside him. "What's the matter, Sea God? Feeling uncomfortable?"

"Of course not. I'm just pleased that the Goddess of Life has found such an outstanding successor."

"Is that so? You don't look all that happy," the God of Destruction replied meaningfully.

Internally, the Sea God cursed him but kept his silence. His hatred for Su Ming had reached its peak; Su Ming had destroyed the fragment of his consciousness hidden in the Spirit Hall, leaving him vulnerable.

The Shura God, although still in the higher realms, was also keeping an eye on Su Ming's progress. To his surprise, Su Ming's growth had been terrifyingly fast. In less than a year, Su Ming's power had soared beyond expectations.

Originally, he had expected Tang San's bizarre devouring abilities to let him outpace Su Ming, completing his god trials first. But things had not gone as planned.

Moreover, Su Ming had somehow traveled to the past and removed the Rakshasa God's remnant, meaning that Bibi Dong's succession to the Rakshasa God's position wasn't far off. This changed everything…

The Devouring Power!

A wicked smile spread across Shura God's face. Reviving Tang Chen had finally paid off!

At this moment, Tang Chen had completed his eighth trial and pulled out the Sword of Slaughter, with only the final trial left.

This final trial would require him to assist Tang San in achieving godhood.

With the Sea God being watched closely by both the Goddess of Life and the God of Destruction, Tang San's trip to inherit the Sea God's power on Sea God Island seemed impossible.

Shura God turned his attention to Tang Chen.

Heh heh…

"Sorry, Tang Chen, but I'll have to sacrifice you once again."

At that moment, a cold voice from Shura God echoed in the minds of Tang San and Tang Chen.

[Fourth Shura Trial: Sea of Slaughter. Defeat at least twenty ancient beasts, each with a power of at least level ninety-five!]

[Ninth Slaughter God Trial: Assist Tang San in completing the Fourth Shura Trial and defeat at least thirty ancient beasts. Restrictions: Do not use the Sword of Slaughter.]

Hmm?

Tang San and Tang Chen exchanged glances, puzzled.

Where were they supposed to find that many ancient beasts?

Then Shura God's voice returned, explaining that ancient beasts would appear in Slaughter City continuously for a week. At least five would appear each day, so they would need to conserve their strength and carefully plan each kill.

In the Shura God's Hall, Shura God smiled slyly.

Where would he find so many ancient beasts? These were mere manifestations of his divine power.

With each kill, a trace of Shura God's power would enter Tang Chen, preparing Tang San to devour Tang Chen and inherit the title of the God of Slaughter!

Hahaha!

Tang San felt that something was strange about this trial. Its difficulty seemed to be leagues beyond the third trial. Was it due to the synergy with the ninth trial?

Then, a secret message from Shura God echoed in Tang San's mind.

"Tang San, I have bad news for you. Su Ming has reached level ninety-nine and somehow obtained two million-year soul bones. He has now skipped several trials and only has the last three remaining."

Tang San's heart raced, and he quickly asked, "Lord Shura God, is there any other way? At this rate, Su Ming will finish his god trials before me, and I won't have time to inherit the Sea God's power."

Shura God replied, "Originally, that was the case. So, I've decided to make a small exception for you. You must have noticed that this trial's difficulty has spiked. With your current strength, it would be nearly impossible to defeat ancient beasts of this level."

Tang San asked, "What does that mean, Lord Shura God?"

Shura God explained, "These beasts are my power incarnate. You must have Tang Chen kill as many of them as possible. Each kill will leave a bit of my power within him. When he inherits the Slaughter God title, I'll unleash all my power within him, and at that moment, you'll use your Dark Blue Silver Grass to devour Tang Chen entirely.

"By then, your strength should reach level ninety-nine, and you'll gain the Slaughter God's divinity. Upon completing your Shura God trials, you'll merge the Slaughter God's divinity with your Blue Silver Grass and Shura's divinity with your Clear Sky Hammer, achieving dual godhood!"

Tang San was shocked by Shura God's plan. He didn't understand why Shura God was going to such lengths for him, but he knew it would be beneficial.

"Lord Shura God, why will I reach level ninety-nine instead of level one hundred?"

If he devoured Tang Chen, wouldn't that count as becoming a true god at level one hundred?

"That's because this is not a direct inheritance. Absorbing the Slaughter God's divinity without a martial spirit vessel will cap your level at ninety-nine. If you prematurely use the Blue Silver Grass as a vessel, it will alert the gods of the Divine Realm. No dual-god entities exist in the Divine Realm, so my plan is to break that rule for you."
