— Chapter 316 —
Bo Saixi summoned her staff and said, “It’s time for your Fourth Trial, Yunlong.”
Yunlong and his companions become serious when hearing Bo Saixi’s statement. They have been waiting for this because Bibi Dong told them earlier that the “Fourth Trial” is the breaking point of any God trial.
As Rakshaha God’s Inheritor, Bibi Dong warned them about the “Wall.” between the trials. A separation of difficulty beyond the previous one. Even Yunlong’s step-sister, Qian Renxue, warned them about how annoying this can be.
A divine light fell onto them, sending the content of the fourth trial to their heads. Yunlong opened his mouth in disbelief and followed by his companion’s gasps.
Nevertheless, the fourth trial’s content is more than for Yunlong because a crimson light suddenly struck him from the sky. He gritted his teeth, and everyone saw a crimson sword mark on his forehead.
“A-Asura…” Bo Saixi’s eyes widened in surprise.
Pressure above the previous divine light swept over the entire Sea God Island. Everyone felt suffocated, including Uchiha Madara, who used his Mangekyou Sharingan to shield his underlings.
A giant crimson sword floated above Yunlong’s head and penetrated his forehead. He released a painful groan and bent his body down, refusing to kneel from this annoying pressure.
[Annoying Brat, I’m helping you right now. Don’t refuse my power!] Asura God’s voice entered Yunlong’s head.
[That Ice God planted a curse to create an anchor between the ruined realm to you, I don’t know how but you can’t go there with your current strength.]
[Unless you wanted to die…]
Yunlong clenched his fist and relaxed his mind for a moment. He felt the entire world suddenly changing because there was no Sea God Island scenery anymore, but a barren land filled with brownish sand.
[Quest: Asura & Sea God’s Trials]
[1st Objective: Survive and Become Stronger]
[2nd Objective: Find a way back home]
[3rd Objective: Sever Outer God’s Influence]
“Well, that wasn’t so bad,” Yunlong commented calmly.
[Ding! You have received another Quest]
[Quest: Training]
[Objective: Find the Perfect Form]
[Sub Goals: 0/10B Sword Swings, 0/10B Spear Thrusts, and 0/10B Bow’s Draws]
[You cannot reject this Quest]
[All of your spirit energy sealed, all of your spirit skills have sealed, All of your physical-enhancing passive skills sealed]
[Time Limit: Ten Years]
[Good luck, Host~]
Yunlong stared at the new system panel with a surprised expression and sighed because everything was like karma hitting him back. He cannot even reject these Quests.
“Where is this place?” He asked the system to scan the area.
[This place is called the Desolate Ancient Battle Arena, according to my databases] Neo answered immediately.
[Located within a ruined realm, at the beginning of Douluo Dalu’s universe. A place full of destruction filled with pre-historic dangerous creatures like Ten Thousand Years Yang Serpent, you fought in the Slaughter City]
[Danger Level: Even Wild Gods can’t survive more than a year here]
Yunlong considered a few plans in motion and felt his partner’s presence in this place. They were far away from him, but he could sense them.
Before Yunlong could even ask, Neo had already answered his question.
[You’re the anchor, Host]
[Asura God tried to sever this “Curse.” from Ice God, which was Fate and Destiny Connection with Desolate Ancient Battle Arena]
[In short, because you’re the Sea God’s Inheritor, and they even took the same red trials, your existence pulled them into this place]
Yunlong remembered his meeting with Ice God and recalled the curse that person placed on him. “Ninety-Nine Days Curse, huh.” He commented casually.
[Spiritual God’s Tongue: 10% Acquisition]
…
Even though the system knows the answer already for the first time, Neo asked. [Do you think Ice God is evil, Host?]
Yunlong shook his head and answered, “In my opinion, Ice God is not evil, but he seemed too anxious about something. When we met each other, his senses couldn’t tell that I was Sea God and Asura God’s Inheritors.”
“There must be a reason for him to send me here.”
“Anyway, is there any useful information about the Ninety-Nine Days Curse?” He continued, to which the system responded with a loading screen.
[Scanning…]
[…]
[Name: Ninety-Nine Days Curse]
[Type: Buff/Blessing]
[Effect: 300% Exp(Weakened)]
[Description: A spell created by Ice God, which increases the target’s comprehension ability up to 300%. And can be modified to absorb the surrounding universal laws]
“Oh, Wow.” Yunlong was honestly surprised by the effect and description. He expected something horrible, but this was unexpected.
[This effect lasts for ninety-nine days]
[However…]
Yunlong doesn’t like this system notification’s text direction.
[Because of Asura God’s intervention, the effect has slightly lessened than it should be. It also affects how much universal law you can absorb]
“How much is “slightly.”, Neo.” Yunlong rolled his eyes. He was annoyed now because Neo was always straightforward with the scan result.
[200%…]
“So I should have 500% buff initially?” Yunlong’s mouth twitched in annoyance. Asura God messed with him now.
[Yes]
BAM!
Yunlong instinctively crushed the ground below him, which created a shockwave enough to kill Spirit King. His Sharingan quickly was triggered with intense crimson light coming out of them.
He sighed, “Tch, that’s almost half of the buff.”
“Whatever, I’ll try to maximize the effect by myself.”
He remained optimistic in this matter and tried to detect his companion with Space Law. A frown formed on his face because the space in this place was so tight, almost solid.
It sounded odd, but Yunlong can’t even tear the space apart with his space law’s level. He’s not at God Level yet, but he was confident with his ability.
“I know they were here, but what’s this?” Yunlong jumped from the ground and watched a sharp-toothed worm try to ambush him.
BOOM!
The worm’s body is around 12 meters long, with sharp blades circling like a chainsaw.
[Name: Great Blades Worm]
[Type: Prehistoric Beast]
[Cultivation Age: 50.000 years old]
[Ability: Desolate Bomb, Devour]
Yunlong brushed the ring around his finger and turned Greed into a black sword. His sword intent flared around the edge and made the sword shine with ethereal white light.
His silhouette fell, and the Great Blades Worm opened its mouth, charging brown energy at him.
SWOOSH!
Yunlong waved Greed and sliced the energy bomb, watching it fly past him with a confused gaze. “This… It could drain life force.” He commented with disbelief. His expression becomes solemn because this will be more annoying than he thought.
“Greed, like usual.”
“Okay, Boss~!” The Ego Weapon responded, causing the black sword to explode with menacing crimson color.
Yunlong clenched his grip and performed a slash.
“Great Unison Arts: Thunder Chop.” A crimson flash zapped the Pre-Historic beast a few times, leaving some bloody lines.
BAM!
The Great Blades Worm received a powerful attack and wiggled wildly, falling onto the sandy ground with a loud “Thud.” sound.
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony was overjoyed]
“Hmm?” Yunlong tilted his head because Gluttony had never shown this kind of reaction. His innate skill is unlike others because It has “Emotion.” for food-related things.
He felt something was changing, and hunger from [Mortal Sin: Gluttony] suddenly smacked him like a truck. It was a horrible feeling because he always controlled his “Hunger,” even when killing thousands of enemies. Yunlong’s Sharingan becomes even redder.
[You have absorbed the Great Blades Worm’s Soul]
[You have gained [Devour], and was instantly swallowed by [Mortal Sin: Gluttony in action]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony showed a reaction…]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony has decided to become better]
[Mortal Sin: Gluttony is evolving…]
[Currently at 0.0001% Progress]
Yunlong smiled wryly because that’s why [Mortal Sin: Gluttony] is so excited. It has an innate Soul Devouring ability that helps him so much.
“Well, it’s about damn time.” He commented while looking at the vast desert. The entire area shook like an earthquake, but Yunlong knew it wasn’t.
After he killed the first Great Blades Worm, the other obviously would be interested in the blood’s scent.
Yunlong swung his body left and right to loosen his muscle and said, “Neo, Create Daily Quest. Since I’ll be here for a while.”
“Oh, and Have you done the area’s scan?”
[Yes, I’ve scanned this place, Host]
[Creating a Daily Quest…]
[Today’s Goal: Kills 1000 Pre-Historic Beast]
[Reward: Pre-Historic’s Beast Encyclopedia and 50k System Points]
Yunlong nodded and moved his gaze back to the horde of Great Blades Worms. His Ego released an exhilarating crimson light, wanting fresh blood.
“Well, let’s go!”
…
On top of Great Blades Worms’ bodies, Yunlong released a small sigh and stared at the surroundings. He caught a family woman’s silhouette and jumped down.
[Goals: 1001/1000]
“Yunxi!” He shouted her name, but there was no response from another side.
Yunlong decided to run even faster and left several afterimages behind him. Still, no matter how much he ran or how fast he was, he couldn’t reach Chu Yunxi.
“Ah… I’ve been running for 12 hours.” He stopped abruptly and slowly scanned the area with Sharingan, finding no illusion or something like that. There is nothing wrong with his senses, either.
Chu Yunxi is only one kilometer away from Yunlong. He knew that, but something was hindering him from approaching her.
Then, He realized his other companion’s presence appeared around him. They are surrounding him and around the same distance as Chu Yunxi. They could see him too, but no voice came out of their mouths.
Every form of communication was also useless because he couldn’t use spiritual links. Yunlong fell onto the sand and rocked his head.
“What should I do…” Yunlong muttered to himself. He had to find a way, but everything seemed wrong to him.
Greed comes to Yunlong’s vision, causing him to remember Asura and Sea God’s Quest. “Sever?”
“Swing.”
“Thrust.”
“And Draw…”
Yunlong suddenly lifted his body from the sands and picked Greed’s handle. His body entered a stance, creating a distance between his legs.
Swoosh!
He swung the sword once and caused the air to whistle, which made him fall into deep thought for a moment. When did his technique become this terrible?
…
“This is wrong,” Yunlong muttered while staring at the Ego Weapon. “Having Sharingan is a cheat, but it’s like solving algebra without knowing multiplication first.”
He quickly deactivated his Sharingan and breathed in, relishing the atmosphere pressure. The 300% buff began to show its effects, and he was all for it.
“B-Boss, Are you okay?” Greed asked worriedly.
Yunlong nodded and answered, “I’m fine, just discovering something. Greed, why don’t you return to the basic form.”
The Ego Weapon shone in confusion but transformed to the basic form in the end. She placed herself around Yunlong’s finger and observed quietly.
Meanwhile, Yunlong meditated on the ground and muttered so many things.
“Wrong…”
“This is also wrong.”
“When did it become so lousy?”
“Huh, what’re these overly cringey moves?”
All his contemplation fell into one moment after hours, leading him to summon a wood sword from his inventory. Bokken Yunlong hasn’t swung for eight years, made by a skilled carpenter in Soaring Dragon Village.
“Fleeting Shadow.” He grazed the wooden blade carefully. He trained his first sword slash with this, swinging it a lot when he was a kid.
Yunlong opened his right palm and noticed the calluses had disappeared. He used to have a bunch of calluses when he was young, causing Bibi Dong to be mad at him.
“Yunlong!” Bibi Dong’s shouts echoed in Yunlong’s ears. “I told you to stop training. Your hands are bleeding!”
“I’m fine, Mom,” Yunlong answered wryly.
Bibi Dong became annoyed and returned. “You’re fine when I punish you, Mister. Now come here and treat those bleeding hands immediately.”
“Training is fine, but you have to know your limits. Especially when you’re young, this could limit your growth later.”
“Remember, pushing your limit is good, but the limit is there for a reason.”
Yunlong opened his eyes and watched the scenery with his natural red eyes. His lips curved into a smile.
[0/1B Sword Swings]
“Basic, it is.” He chuckled while gripping his Bokken.
