======
In the world of Douluo, the gods are the supreme existence.
They possess powers far beyond ordinary people, even transcending the limitations of mortals. With a simple gesture, they can reverse the world, and reshape the mountains and rivers.
Of course, this is only the gap between the gods of the Douluo World and mortals. If we were to compare the gods of the Douluo world with the gods of other worlds...
Ahem.
We can't expect a world where one can cultivate to the God-King level using the Mysterious Heaven Skill of some random sect to be so powerful, right?
Regardless, for the ordinary people of the Douluo world, the gods have unimaginable power, and the divine soul rings are one of the ways to express their power.
In this world, to obtain soul rings, one must hunt soul beasts and absorb their power to form soul rings.
This is common sense for all creatures on the Douluo Continent.
However, the gods are an exception.
As noble gods, they can directly condense soul rings with their divine power. Moreover, these divine soul rings not only grant soul masters the most needed soul skills, but their duration will also reach the maximum limit that a soul master can bear!
In other words, if Fang Yuan's body is capable of bearing soul rings at the hundred-thousand-year level, then this god-given soul ring will become a hundred-thousand-year soul ring!
"It seems that compared to the rewards from the Asura God's Divine Trial, the Rakshasa God's rewards are simply inadequate!"
The Asura God not only increased his soul power by one level, raising his level to fifty, but also increased all his soul rings by five hundred years and then gave him a divine soul ring.
On the other hand, the Rakshasa God only increased all his soul rings by five hundred years and offered a somewhat inexplicable affinity with the candidates for the Divine Trial.
When you compare them like this, the difference is clear.
However, upon closer examination, the Rakshasa God is only a main god in the divine realm, a first-tier god. But the Asura God is one of the Five God-Kings of the Divine Realm Committee, the head of the Three Law Enforcement Gods, and even the Two God Kings show him great respect.
So, there is a difference in rewards, which is normal.
Looking at the divine soul ring in front of him, Fang Yuan took a deep breath and began absorbing it.
With a thought, the red-gold divine soul ring shattered, releasing a dense red-gold mist that enveloped Fang Yuan's body.
The red-gold mist had a hazy color, gradually covering Fang Yuan's body, and a ring of light began to appear around his body, completely shrouding him.
In the next moment, Fang Yuan suddenly felt an unparalleled surge of soul power flowing into his body, rushing through his meridians, and tempering his physical body.
The soul power was vast and powerful, it was so intense that it even caused discomfort to Fang Yuan, who was in his Immortal Human Physique state.
"Hmm... hmm..."
The Blue Silver Emperor, coiled around the Ouroboros bracelet on his wrist, seemed to sense Fang Yuan's pain. She extended her young leaves to wrap Fang Yuan's hand, intending to emit the light of life to help him.
However, before she could act, Fang Yuan stopped her.
"Don't release energy; I'm fine."
"Hmm..."
The Blue Silver Emperor looked at Fang Yuan with confusion. She could clearly sense Fang Yuan's entire body trembling violently due to the intense pain. Even the surface of his skin showed an unhealthy flush.
In such a painful situation, Fang Yuan still didn't want her help?
"Master... Master... in pain... Ah Yin... Ah Yin wants to help Master..."
Intermittent thoughts were transmitted to Fang Yuan's mind, and he felt warmth in his heart. He forced a smile in his pained state.
"Be good."
"The divine soul ring will provide me with the maximum strength based on the strength of my physical body. If I rely on external help, it will not be good for me."
"So, you don't need to take action; just protect me."
The Blue Silver Emperor nodded as if she understood and condensed her blue-gold soul power. Using her branches and leaves, she even wove a blue-gold barrier around Fang Yuan's body. She even used her aura to make the Blue Silver Grass around Fang Yuan grow vigorously, concealing his presence.
Feeling the Blue Silver Emperor's actions, Fang Yuan smiled, but then he was overwhelmed by the surging soul power inside him, causing him to grimace in pain, and even the three tomoes Sharingan in his eyes began to spin frantically.
In Fang Yuan's perception, the soul power within the divine soul ring seemed endless. No matter how much he absorbed into his body, there was still an abundance of soul power within the ring, continuously releasing and allowing Fang Yuan to absorb.
Fang Yuan didn't hold back either. He displayed an insatiable appetite, aggressively drawing in the power from the divine soul ring.
A faint black soul ring began to form behind Fang Yuan's existing three purple and one black soul rings.
Thousand Years, Five Thousand Years, Ten Thousand Years, Twelve Thousand…
With each passing breath, its color deepened, reaching a level of twelve thousand years in just a few moments.
According to Yu Xiaogang's theory, the maximum limit for an ordinary soul master's fifth soul ring should be twelve thousand years. For most soul masters, the fifth soul ring represents the first ten-thousand-year soul ring they can absorb.
Although Fang Yuan didn't know whether Yu Xiaogang, who wasn't even a Soul Douluo, knew the limits of Soul Kings' soul rings, maybe he copied and pasted the information from the Martial Soul Hall?
But regardless of the authenticity of that data, Fang Yuan's fifth soul ring had already surpassed this limit and was still increasing!
Thirteen thousand years, fifteen thousand years, eighteen thousand years!
The intense pain caused beads of sweat to form on Fang Yuan's forehead, his veins bulged, and even his muscles began to spasm.
But Fang Yuan didn't stop!
He knew he hadn't reached his limit yet.
With the enhancement of the two divine herbs, how could his Immortal Human Physique be limited to this level?
Nineteen thousand years, twenty thousand years!
The soul power continued to surge. Whether it was due to the extreme pain or the overwhelming power of the divine soul ring, a red-golden light began to emanate from Fang Yuan's body.
This was not just the radiance of the divine soul ring; it was also the residual effects of the miraculous ingredients, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, and the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, hidden within Fang Yuan's body, now coming into play.
Perhaps due to the burst of power from the two divine herbs, the divine soul ring detected Fang Yuan's physical limit and continued to increase. The vast soul power surged once more!
Twenty-three thousand years! Twenty-five thousand years!
Fang Yuan clenched his teeth, his face contorted, bloodshot veins in his eye sockets, and his Sharingan spun at such a speed that even the Sharingan's tomoe seemed to be connected.
The immense soul power continued to penetrate through the protection of the Blue Silver Emperor, forcing her to release more and more blue-golden aura and activate more Blue Silver Grass to envelop Fang Yuan.
Despite her efforts, the Blue Silver Emperor still trembled under the collision and penetration of that soul power. The protective barrier around Fang Yuan became tattered as if it could collapse at any moment.
Nevertheless, even as the Blue Silver Emperor's body trembled, she continued to persevere and endure the impact of Fang Yuan's soul power.
Twenty-eight thousand years! Thirty thousand years!
The condensed soul power seemed to have reached its limit. The red-golden glow that had enveloped Fang Yuan's body transformed into a dark black halo.
The pain on Fang Yuan's face had disappeared, replaced by a calm expression and beads of sweat on his cheeks.
Finally, those circles of black light converged, making Fang Yuan's massive black soul ring even more profound. His original four soul rings also radiated a dazzling light, as if they were welcoming something.
"Hah!"
Fang Yuan let out a light shout, his eyes bursting with red light. His fifth soul ring behind him had finally fully condensed!
Purple, purple, purple, black, black—five soul rings encircled him, each one radiating incredibly powerful soul power.
Especially the fifth pitch-black ten-thousand-year soul ring, its soul power had reached its limit!
Thirty thousand years!
"Finally... it's done."
Fang Yuan let out a long breath and looked at his fifth soul ring. A smile finally appeared on his face.
According to the Ten Great Core Spirit Competencies theory, the maximum limit for a soul master's fifth soul ring was twelve thousand years, and the maximum for the sixth soul ring was twenty thousand years.
After reaching the Soul Saint stage and with the appearance of the Martial Soul True Body, a soul master's physical attributes would be greatly enhanced, raising the maximum limit for the seventh soul ring to thirty thousand to fifty thousand years.
In other words, Fang Yuan's current physique was comparable to that of an ordinary Soul Saint!
"Thank you for your hard work."
Fang Yuan didn't immediately check his soul skills. Instead, he comforted the trembling Blue Silver Emperor.
To protect him and conceal his presence, the Blue Silver Emperor had put in a great deal of effort and had been drained of her energy. Her entire body was trembling from the impact of Fang Yuan's soul power.
Feeling Fang Yuan's gentle touch, the Blue Silver Emperor responded weakly with her branches and leaves and then returned to coiling around the Ouroboros bracelet, falling into a sleep quietly.
She was too exhausted.
Fang Yuan gently stroked the Blue Silver Emperor for a moment before turning his attention to his own soul rings and sensing his soul skills.
After a moment, Fang Yuan opened his eyes with a hint of joy in them.
His fifth soul skill was called 'Nightmare', an amplification-type soul skill and also a group illusion-type soul skill.
"Permanently increases spiritual power by fifty percent. After using the soul skill, leaves a nightmare seed in the target's mind. When activated, the nightmare seed can manipulate the target's five senses, creating a nightmare illusion to torment their mind. Usage restriction: Must make direct eye contact with both eyes..."
Fang Yuan murmured with a satisfied expression on his face.
The Divine Gifted Soul Ring truly lived up to its name, providing Fang Yuan with a perfectly suited soul skill!
As the possessor of the Sharingan Martial Soul, Fang Yuan's greatest strength, or rather, the Sharingan's specialty, was mental abilities, specifically illusions.
And now, the Divine Gifted Soul Ring had granted him a soul skill related to illusions!
A permanent fifty percent increase in spiritual power and the ability to control the target's five senses. Such power truly justified the name "God Gifted"!
As a transmigrator, Fang Yuan was well aware of the power of manipulating the five senses.
He knew how incredibly powerful it could be, just like the Kurama clan in Naruto or Sosuke Aizen in the world of Bleach!
"In the world of Bleach, Sosuke Aizen's ability, Kyoka Suigetsu, depends on seeing the moment it's liberated. My soul skill requires direct eye contact..."
"Am I considered a weaker version of Kyoka Suigetsu?"
Fang Yuan's lips curled up, and the strength of his fifth soul skill exceeded his expectations. With his current spiritual power, if he were to use this fifth soul skill, even ordinary Soul Saints or Douluo might not be able to break free from his illusions!
Fang Yuan stood up and looked at the distant Killing Capital shrouded in a light screen.
"Now, it's time to go back."
Instead of taking the opportunity to leave, he chose to return to Killing Capital.
With the Killing God Domain, Killing Capital no longer posed a threat to Fang Yuan, and besides, he was the Holy Son of Killing Capital, so it was only natural for him to return.
Moreover, his second divine trial was also related to Killing Capital.
The top-level second trial of the Asura God: Tempering, bathing in a sea of blood. Stay immersed in the sea of blood until twelve hours have passed. Restrictions: Soul rings, soul bone skills. Time limit: one year.
The top-level second trial of the Rakshasa God: Absorption, bloodthirsty fusion. Kill a fifty-thousand-year soul beast and devour the remnants of its soul. Time limit: one year.
Both of these divine trials were not easy.
As someone who had just crossed through the Hell Road, Fang Yuan was well aware of the horrors of the sea of blood in the Hell Road. It was a place where no living being could stay for long.
The scorching, magma-like heat, the endless aura of bloodshed and killing—each of these factors was fatal to every individual life.
Especially the endless aura of bloodshed and killing.
If one stayed in the sea of blood for an extended period, they would inevitably be eroded by these two auras. Yet, Fang Yuan had to endure it for a full twelve hours!
The difficulty of this trial was simply inconceivable.
As for Rakshasa's second trial, it was even more outrageous.
Killing a fifty-thousand-year soul beast wasn't particularly difficult; after all, he could cheat by having the Knights of Killing weaken the soul beast first, and then he could finish it off.
But the additional condition was absurd.
Devouring the remnants of the soul beast's soul!
This was beyond belief. It was common knowledge that soul beasts of ten thousand years or more left behind lingering resentment after death. If someone absorbed their soul rings, they would be subjected to the impact of that power, which we often referred to as a soul shock.
And the meaning of this divine trial was simple: Fang Yuan had to devour the remnants of the soul beast's soul!
Damn it, even ordinary people would find it overwhelming to confront the remnants of a soul's soul, let alone to devour them!
"But here's the problem: I don't absorb soul rings, so how do I devour the remnants of a soul's soul?"
"Does that mean I have to break through to level 60 within this short year?"
Fang Yuan felt a headache coming on, but the next moment, he received a message from the divine trial.
The content of the message explained how to devour the remnants of a soul's soul.
"Within ten minutes of a soul beast's death, use your spiritual power to envelop the soul ring and then destroy it..."
Fang Yuan's face darkened.
Come up with such a bizarre method? You are truly worthy of being a Rakshasa God!
Perhaps the two bosses had realized that Fang Yuan had found the first trial too easy, and directly increased the difficulty of the second trial.
With the level of difficulty of these two divine trials, Fang Yuan knew he would have to put in a tremendous amount of effort to complete them.
"Next, there's plenty of work to do..."
Fang Yuan sighed softly, took a step, and headed toward Killing Capital.
...
Not long after, Fang Yuan returned to Killing Capital, but as soon as he entered, his expression changed slightly.
The entire Killing Capital was in chaos, with countless bodies lying on the ground and blood staining the streets.
What was more important was that this was the outer city!
You see, the Fallen soul masters in the outer city usually survived by being low-key and rarely ventured outside, let alone engaged in combat.
But at this moment, there was a battle happening, and it seemed to be quite large-scale!
Most of the bodies on the ground were those of the Fallen soul masters, but there were also a few individuals in law enforcement officer uniforms. Some areas had the sounds of commotion, making the entire Killing Capital look like a battlefield.
"What is going on..."
Seeing the gruesome scene in front of him, Fang Yuan furrowed his brows, leaped lightly, and arrived at one of the battlefields.
It was a battle where the outnumbered fallen soul masters surrounded a law enforcement officer. They were wielding weapons, attempting to attack and kill the law enforcement officer.
The law enforcement officer's spiritual power surged, and eight soul rings revolved around him. Even though he was being ganged up on, his momentum showed no signs of weakening.
Within Killing Capital, the use of soul skills was restricted. Only law enforcement officers at or above Rank Eight were eligible to use soul skills, as they were blessed by the King of Killing, which allowed them to use soul skills. The law enforcement officer in front of him was clearly one of those senior law enforcement officers.
However, the group of fallen soul masters attacking the Soul Douluo was not weak either. With their superior numbers, they had managed to cause some trouble for the law enforcement officer, despite suffering casualties.
"Die, you damn law enforcement officer!"
The fallen soul masters yelled and continued their assault on the law enforcement officer. Although the officer remained silent, his soul rings gleamed. However, his movements seemed sluggish.
It was evident that he had suffered some injuries!
Seeing this situation, Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes. The three tomoe Sharingan in his eyes began to spin slightly, and the surrounding air suddenly became extremely heavy.
Before the group of Fallen soul masters had a chance to launch their attack on the law enforcement officer, they suddenly felt as though they were plunged into an ice cellar. In the next moment, their legs became weak, their eyes turned white, and one by one, they fainted.
The sudden change left the law enforcement officer in astonishment. He looked up and happened to see Fang Yuan stepping onto the scene.
"Holy... Holy Son...?"
The moment their eyes met, even the Soul Douluo-ranked law enforcement officer felt an intense chill and even his body began to tremble.
"Hey, long time no see, Uncle Skar."
Fang Yuan waved at the law enforcement officer. "Did something happen? In just one day, how did Killing Capital end up like this?"
"It's a rebellion."
Skar replied while taking a crimson Bloody Mary Dew from a storage soul tool and downing it in one gulp.
Then he took a deep breath and looked into the distance, saying with a complex expression,
"Yesterday, after the Holy Son entered the Road to Hell, perhaps because there were too many sacrifices that day, these guys sensed something. Last night, they triggered a riot and started a large-scale assault in the Capital."
"However, with the Captain and the King's power, the situation in the inner city has basically been brought under control. The situation in the outer city is a bit worse, but once our reinforcements arrive, it shouldn't take long to deal with it."
"A rebellion, huh?"
Fang Yuan furrowed his brow, and his spiritual power spread out, confirming that what Skar said was not false, and it was even quite serious.
Perhaps because the enforcers in the outer city were understaffed, the fallen soul masters, who had the numerical advantage, were practically pressing the enforcers!
"This can't continue."
Who knows when the enforcers from the inner city will arrive? As the Holy Son of the Killing Capital, Fang Yuan had long regarded these enforcers as his personal wealth.
Every second that passed was a loss for him!
"However, since it's a rebellion, there must be a leader..."
Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed as he used his spiritual power to search, but the current situation was too chaotic. It would be far from easy to identify the leader.
Forget it.
Fang Yuan shook his head and retracted his spiritual power.
In the distance, many fallen noticed them and began to charge toward them.
"Holy Son, be careful!"
Skar took a deep breath and stood in front of Fang Yuan. He had a special staff in his hand, obviously his martial soul.
"Holy Son, please return to the inner city first. After we clean up this trash, we..."
"Don't joke, Uncle Skar."
Fang Yuan chuckled and casually used soul power to summon a chain blade from the ground, holding it in his hand. His aura fluctuated, and his eyes opened and closed, turning blood-red.
"I am the Holy Son of the Killing Capital!"
Fang Yuan gripped the chain blade, and his eyes narrowed slightly. The surrounding air seemed to grow extremely cold and heavy at that moment.
Since he couldn't find the leader.
Then he would start by clearing out these small fries!
