Chapter 442: The Asura God Inheritance Begins

Chapter 442: Chapter 442: The Asura God Inheritance Begins

Ye Lingling smiled; she truly harbored no grand ambitions.

With the Martial Soul defect of the Ye family resolved and the life-and-death crisis of her clan settled, she was simply happy to be with Dugu Feng from now on.

She had told Dugu Feng before that, at worst, the two of them could simply seclude themselves away—who cared who ascended to godhood?

"By the way, senior sister, work hard on your cultivation. When you reach level ninety, I’ll give you a powerful Spirit Beast as your Spirit Ring."

Ye Lingling giggled dreamily, "Alright then, I’ll be waiting. Let’s see just how powerful this Spirit Beast is—could it possibly be a hundred thousand years old?"

Dugu Feng thought to himself, what’s a hundred thousand years? That’s just the minimum threshold!

The two chatted for a while longer, and the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly intimate.

After such a long separation, it was inevitable that the night would be eventful.

Dugu Feng first used his Overlord Venom to shield the entire room from external perception, an action that earned him a fierce glare from Ye Lingling.

In response, Dugu Feng simply held her tightly in his arms.

Then, the lights in the room went out.

Everything plunged into darkness.

Only deep, heavy breaths echoed continuously throughout the night!

A sleepless night passed, and the next day, Dugu Feng flew out of Heaven Dou City with Ye Lingling.

Since he wanted others to believe he had been in Heaven Dou City all along, he needed to appear in different settings.

Sunset Forest was the perfect place to prove this.

After all, it was well-known that the Dugu Family specialized in poison and often searched for Poison Attribute Soul Beasts in Sunset Forest.

The Emerald Dragon Snake served as their flying mount, moving not particularly fast but weaving agilely through the forest, allowing them to thrillingly experience the scenery rushing past and falling behind.

"Ah!"

Ye Lingling let out a scream. As a Supportive Soul Master, she was accustomed to tranquility, so this kind of flying experience was quite exhilarating for her.

And so, Dugu Feng indulged in playful antics with Ye Lingling, occasionally appearing while other Soul Masters were hunting Spirit Beasts.

He even helped students from the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and the Ultimate Academy hunt Spirit Beasts a few times.

They lived quite carefreely.

A full week passed before Dugu Feng escorted Ye Lingling back to Heaven Dou City and then returned alone to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well in Sunset Forest.

It was time to focus seriously on cultivation.

At this moment, a thought suddenly struck him: perhaps he had been overly cautious.

Would Tang Hao dare to bring the truth—that Tang Chen was dead and the Asura Demon Sword had been taken—back to Heaven Dou City?

It hadn’t been long since Tang Chen attacked Spirit City, shattered the Pope Martial Soul True Body of the Spirit Hall with a single sword strike, and repelled the Great Enshrinement of the Spirit Hall.

This was still at the peak of its spread across the continent.

Moreover, with most of the Clear Sky Sect’s members now in Heaven Dou City, the sect was effectively unsealed, and its disciples had begun traveling across the continent.

News of Tang Chen’s impending ascension to godhood spread wider and wider, and the Clear Sky Sect’s prestige had already surpassed that of all other factions.

If Tang Hao were to expose this weakness now and announce Tang Chen’s death, the Clear Sky Sect would likely become an immediate laughingstock and a target for all.

It might even face renewed targeting from Bibi Dong, for without Tang Chen as their backing, Bibi Dong had no reason to fear the Clear Sky Sect.

Coincidentally, during this period, Old Snake had been taking the opportunity to spread word about Tang San, the younger generation of the Clear Sky Sect, whose Second Martial Soul had begun absorbing Spirit Rings, rapidly advancing to become a Titled Douluo and swiftly growing in strength.

It could be said to have propelled the Clear Sky Sect to its peak of prosperity.

What would Tang Hao do at this point?

At the very least, Dugu Feng believed Tang Hao lacked the courage to burst the bubble of the Clear Sky Sect.

He sneered coldly, instructing the Emerald Dragon Snake to gather intelligence in Heaven Dou City while he descended into the center of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

It was finally time to fully merge with the Asura Demon Sword.

Dugu Feng was exhilarated. He sat cross-legged on the bank of the Ice and Fire Spring Water.

The Asura Demon Sword lay horizontally across his legs—a massive crimson greatsword over two meters in length.

Its blade was slender yet broad, densely inscribed with dark golden magic runes, and its edge radiated a sharp, chilling slaughter aura.

This slaughter aura exerted a powerful attraction on the Asura Domain within his body.

Dugu Feng could no longer restrain himself. His hands lifted uncontrollably, his fingers and palms pressing gently against the surface of the Asura Demon Sword.

The moment they made contact, crimson demon patterns identical to those on the Asura Demon Sword flowed across the surface of his palms.

These crimson demon patterns served as the bridge between Dugu Feng and the Asura Demon Sword.

From the Asura Demon Sword surged a wave of icy energy, coursing along Dugu Feng’s arms, up to his shoulders, and then flowing throughout his body, merging with his meridians, blood, and Soul Bones.

Moreover, this icy energy differed greatly from the energy he devoured. Devoured energy required purification or filtration through the Core Pearl.

But this icy energy felt as though it had always belonged to him, merging seamlessly into his meridians without any hindrance.

Along with this energy came a crimson light that shot directly into the Sea of Spirit at the center of Dugu Feng’s brow.

No, it wasn’t just one crimson light—it was nine!

The crimson light was invisible to outsiders, but under Dugu Feng’s spiritual perception, it was vast and majestic, surpassing any energy aura he had ever encountered before.

These crimson lights drifted before Dugu Feng’s eyes like meteors, entering his brow.

Instantly, vast and complex information flooded into his Sea of Spirit, filling even his expansive spiritual sea to the brim.

Dugu Feng entered a peculiar state—as if enlightened, as if experiencing a sudden awakening, or as if undergoing evolution and sublimation.

This sensation was profound and mysterious, exceptionally wondrous.

After a full half-quarter of an hour, the nine crimson lights shattered completely, transforming into a sword-shaped demon mark at the center of his brow.

Dugu Feng regained clarity. "Previously, cultivating the Asura Bloodline made me feel as though I was no longer human, gradually evolving toward godhood.

Just now, with the inheritance information entering my body, it means godhood is no longer distant!"

Dugu Feng’s eyes were resolute. The sword-shaped demon mark that appeared on his brow was precisely the symbol of the Asura God Inheritance.

As he merged with the Asura Demon Sword, it was naturally acquired by Dugu Feng.

"Inheritor’s Asura God Affinity has reached twenty percent, exceeding the ten percent required to initiate the inheritance.

Prerequisite conditions fulfilled. Inheritance initiated!"

A ripple emanated from the sword-shaped demon mark on his brow, stirring Dugu Feng’s heart.

The Asura God truly took the principle of casting a wide net without nurturing to its extreme.

The surface condition for initiating the Godhood Inheritance was evolving the Slaughter God Domain into the Asura Domain.

In reality, the hidden condition was mastering the Asura Power during cultivation, gradually raising the Asura God Affinity to ten percent.

Yet his Asura God Affinity had already reached twenty percent.

Thinking about it, it made sense—after all, he had possessed the Slaughter God Domain for a very long time.

Through evolution and devouring the King of Slaughter, he had comprehended the Asura Manifestation Skill, and the Asura Power within him was exceptionally abundant. It was no surprise that his Asura God Affinity had reached twenty percent.

This indicated that he could have long since initiated the God Test, but it was only because Tang Chen had not died and still occupied the position for the God Test.

Dugu Feng quickly understood all this and smiled faintly. All his accumulated strength would erupt once the God Test began.

As long as his Asura God Affinity reached one hundred percent, he could inherit the Godhood.

With the foundation of Tang Chen’s previous cultivation, he should be able to achieve it quickly!
