Soul Land: Raiden Shogun Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 235: "Scum, Let Me Test My Blade!"

The Asura God found it difficult to understand the situation but knew there was no turning back now. Clenching his teeth, he channeled the energy of the Killing God Domain into his empty right hand. Within that hand resided a soul bone born for slaughter. Although its weight couldn't compare to that of a martial soul, it was equally suitable for condensing the Killing God Domain.

"Kid, it's not that I'm being uncooperative here, but your martial soul rejects killing intent. There's nothing I can do about that."

"We'll have to make do with this soul bone."

This battle was meant to pave the way for Kong's ascension. Whether or not the enemies were slain by Kong himself, the killing intent would gather around him, eventually forming the Killing God Domain. This was the gateway to obtaining the Asura God's inheritance. If they waited for Kong to enter the City of Slaughter, who knew how long it would take? It was better to take the initiative.

Wait? Waiting wasn't an option!

As someone with a legacy from a deity of another world, there was no guarantee Kong would ever venture into the City of Slaughter, even with guidance or hints.

There was no alternative; this was the only plan left.

"Wait a minute. The Thunder God's inheritance is also on this kid?!"

The Asura God was momentarily stunned and bewildered. How could Kong possess the Thunder God's inheritance? This was truly incomprehensible. However, since the Thunder God was already dead, what difference did it make if Kong inherited his legacy?

It wasn't as though the Thunder God could resurrect and compete with him for Kong.

The Thunder God's essence had transformed into the Thunder Hell Vine—Kong's second soul ring. Legend had it that once the Thunder Hell Vine evolved to 100,000 years, it would become the Thunder God's successor. Upon reaching a million years, it would…

When the soul ring evolved to a million years, it would naturally grant the power of the Thunder God, the Thunder God's divine position, and his legacy!

"This kid is quite the prize, huh? Luckily, my divine rank is the highest!"

Returning to Kong's perspective.

The intangible aura, unable to attach itself to Kong's martial soul, shifted its target and entered his right hand.

"???"

Kong was baffled. What was going on?

What was this aura?

"Pure killing intent."

A voice echoed in his mind—it was Ei. Only then did Kong understand.

Pure killing intent?

"The gods of this world are using this pure killing intent to try and condense a domain-like effect on your blade, similar to what the Titled Douluo Tang Hao had before. However, your blade rejected it."

Hearing this, Kong froze. A domain like Tang Hao's? Wasn't that the Killing God Domain?

Pure killing intent? The Killing God Domain! The gods of this world…

Had he been targeted by the Asura God?

But wait, he hadn't even gone to the City of Slaughter. Why was he targeted by the Asura God? Moreover, wasn't the Killing God Domain supposed to require winning a hundred battles and passing through the Hell Road?

Something didn't add up. What was the Asura God trying to achieve?

"Ei, is this killing intent harmful? Can it be removed?"

If he obtained the Killing God Domain, it would make him an Asura inheritor. Did he even want the Asura God's inheritance?

"For now, there's no sign of harm. This killing intent is very pure and serves as a decent enhancement for you. The god behind this is likely one of the strongest in this world."

"It can be removed. Do you want it gone?"

Kong pondered for a moment before shaking his head. Since it wasn't harmful and could be removed at any time, he decided to keep it for now. Who knew what tricks that deity might pull next?

Had the Asura God given up on Tang San?

"For now, let's ignore it. Thank you, Ei."

"Alright, but I'll keep an eye on him!"

Kong didn't catch the subtlety of Ei's words. He thought Ei was referring to the killing intent, unaware that Ei was actually watching the Asura God himself.

Although it seemed like a long time had passed, only a few breaths had elapsed. The battle continued!

Now understanding the situation, Kong stopped worrying about the pure killing intent and focused on slaughtering the fallen ones before him.

"That boy's flesh and blood are undoubtedly incomparably powerful. Hmph, a peculiar Soul Sage—once we kill him, we'll definitely achieve a qualitative leap in strength!"

"Follow me and let's kill him first!"

Someone shouted this, and a large number of fallen ones began gathering, swarming toward Kong.

Kong looked at these "experience points" with a hint of pity. They probably wouldn't realize, even in death, that they were merely pawns in some god's game—disposable couriers, at that.

"Raiden Shogun, let me handle this!"

"Please protect Sister Yan and the others for me…"

Seeing Raiden Shogun prepare to take action, Kong stepped in to stop her.

"Very well."

Raiden Shogun knew all too well what Kong's abilities were—after all, she was the one who trained him in martial arts. If not for the presence of allies, these enemies would have been wiped out long ago.

"Scum, let me test my blade!"

Kong didn't retreat but advanced, charging forward with his naginata. As his first soul ring lit up, he executed a sweeping strike, unleashing purple lightning-imbued blade arcs toward the fallen ones.

"First Soul Skill: Fragmented Annihilation!"

"Third Soul Skill: Thunderous Might!"

When Kong's third soul ring lit up, the Wheel of Hundred Desires behind him, which had dimmed two patterns, began to shine brightly again. This Thunderous Might differed from the similarly named ability of Yu Tianheng and others. Kong's version truly invoked the Thunder Pool, spreading for thousands of meters. Purple lightning flashed with every swing of the naginata, bringing heavenly thunder crashing down.

At times, his power was so overwhelming that he didn't dare to unleash his soul skills recklessly—one misstep, and his own allies might get hurt.

This wasn't a game world where friendly fire could be turned off.

"Boom!"

"Damn… no wonder he's the Young Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Even though his martial soul isn't the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he's mastered thunder techniques to perfection!"

"The sheer might—if you told me he was a Titled Douluo, I'd believe it!"

"Wow, just by activating a soul skill, he's changed the heavens!"

Above, the sky grew dark as clouds gathered densely. Purple lightning spiraled into vortexes, descending relentlessly. The fallen ones who touched it were injured, and those hit directly were obliterated!

They witnessed firsthand a Contra-level fallen one turned to ash by a single bolt of lightning. If even a Soul Douluo couldn't withstand it, what chance did weaker ones have?

"If we weren't here, the Young Master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could handle them all on his own, couldn't he?"

Suddenly, someone muttered this, instantly drawing agreement from the group.

Indeed, if they weren't here dragging him down, the Young Master could activate his martial soul's true form and use his thunderous power to cleanse the battlefield. How could the fallen ones endure that?

"So, we're the burdens, huh?"

"Burdens plus one!"

In just a few moments, the fallen ones surrounding Kong were wiped out. All that remained were scattered enemies attacking the rest of the team.

Time passed…
