Soul Land 2: Body Sect

Chapter 294: Rakshasa... God Test!

Du Qianjue sat cross-legged in midair, gradually descending from the sky. His nine soul rings slowly faded into his body, and the noble aura that had commanded reverence also disappeared.

He once again appeared as an ordinary person.

Although his imposing aura had withdrawn, Du Qianjue still felt as if he could smash Douluo Continent with a single punch. Even though this was partly an illusion caused by his recent surge in power, it was enough to demonstrate how strong he had become at that moment!

Even though he was only at level 97, still far from becoming a god, his combat power had already shattered the limitations of his cultivation!

In the Divine Realm.

"Little Zi, can you sense how far Qianjue's power has reached?" the Goddess of Life asked in amazement, leaning against the God of Destruction in the Life God Hall.

The God of Destruction chuckled, a proud look on his face: "A peak-level Third Class God! Truly worthy of being my chosen successor. Even without becoming a god, his strength is comparable to a peak Third Class God without a divine position!"

Before breaking through to Titled Douluo, Du Qianjue's full strength could already rival that of a god officer. After breaking through and transforming his mental power into divine consciousness, he could even contend with a peak-level Third Class God.

And he was only level 97!

"I think it won't be long before the two of us can cast aside our divine positions and have a child of our own!" The God of Destruction grinned mischievously, his eyes full of dreams for the future.

The Goddess of Life blushed, stomping hard on his foot.

Back in the Evil Demon Forest.

Du Qianjue was stabilizing his newly enhanced power and familiarizing himself with the divine consciousness that had emerged. The sea of his mental power, once transformed into an emerald green by the Life Gold, had now completely turned into a vast golden ocean, stretching beyond sight.

The soul beasts dwelling within Du Qianjue's mental sea had enlarged their bodies by countless times, with each one now standing over a thousand meters tall. Even the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator, newly arrived in his mental sea, had grown tenfold, hovering high above and emitting an eerie red light from its massive eye, like a sun in this world.

Thanks to his mental power transforming into divine consciousness, all the soul beasts gained unimaginable benefits. Even without condensing physical forms, they could now exist in their soul forms for eternity!

Each of them had now acquired properties akin to those of Electrolux.

Divine consciousness was truly undying and indestructible!

Unless their divine cores were shattered or they were slain.

"Qianjue, congratulations, you're only one step away from success," Electrolux said with a smile, his almost materialized form appearing beside Du Qianjue.

"Do you see it? This is your mental sea. Perhaps now it would be more appropriate to call it the Sea of Divine Consciousness. Your mental power has fully transformed into divine consciousness, reaching the same level I once attained."

"I must thank the Evil Emperor for this. Without it, I probably would have needed to condense a third soul core to transform my mental power into divine power," Du Qianjue smiled, looking up at the 'sun' in the sky.

A blood-red light descended, coalescing into a dignified middle-aged man in a black-and-red robe standing beside Du Qianjue. However, a vertical pupil resembling an evil eye gleamed on his forehead.

He was none other than the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator.

"Divine consciousness... It's a realm I've pursued for hundreds of thousands of years but never managed to glimpse," the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator said wistfully as he gazed at the endless golden ocean before him. "I never expected that you, right after breaking through to Titled Douluo, would manage to transform your mental power into divine consciousness."

"It won't be long. Once I become a god and resurrect you, you will naturally possess divine consciousness too," Du Qianjue said with a smile. "This is a limitation of soul beasts, not your fault. Once you leave Douluo Continent, becoming a god will be simple for you."

"Regardless, thank you," the Evil Eye Tyrant Dominator said seriously.

The other soul beasts also assumed their human forms, smiling and nodding toward Du Qianjue.

...

Boom!

A dark purple light flashed, instantly slicing a terrifying, ferocious spider in half. The corpse collapsed to the ground, and blood-red light gathered over it, eventually forming a scarlet soul ring.

A 100,000-year-old Soul-Eating Demon Spider!

In front of the soul ring stood a beautiful woman surrounded by eight soul rings. The long scythe in her hand slowly dissipated.

Huo Dongxue!

"A 100,000-year soul ring... I never thought I'd be able to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring again..." Huo Dongxue whispered softly, her eyes dazed as she gazed at the blood-red ring.

Her soul rings had changed from one yellow, three purple, and three black to three purple and five black.

After killing the Shrek Inner Court City Lord, Huo Dongxue had broken through level 80 and needed a soul ring to advance to Soul Douluo. She had gone to Star Dou Forest to hunt for one while also evading pursuit from the continent's powerhouses.

During her search, after killing a thousand-year soul beast, she discovered that her Rakshasa Demon Scythe could absorb the blood and soul rings of soul beasts to increase the age of her own rings.

After becoming a butcher of soul beasts like she had been for humans, Huo Dongxue rampaged through the forest, slaying beasts and boosting her soul ring levels. With her rings upgraded to three purple and five black, she eventually broke through to Titled Douluo and killed the 100,000-year-old Soul-Eating Demon Spider to make it her ninth soul ring.

Due to the connection between the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and the Soul-Eating Demon Spider, her weapon greatly restrained the beast. The spider, even at 100,000 years, barely put up a fight and didn't even have time to send a distress signal before Huo Dongxue cut it down.

Di Tian...

Naturally, he had no idea that yet another 100,000-year-old soul beast had perished in Star Dou Forest.

Even though he was the Beast God, he couldn't pinpoint every soul beast's exact location, especially not a creature like the Soul-Eating Demon Spider, which was extremely adept at hiding.

The battle between Huo Dongxue and the spider hadn't caused any soul power fluctuations above the Titled Douluo level, making it even less likely for Di Tian to notice.

"Why... do I seem so familiar with the Soul-Eating Demon Spider? And why am I so good at restraining it?" Huo Dongxue muttered to herself, glancing at the scythe mark on her left hand.

But this was a question she clearly couldn't answer. She sat down cross-legged and began absorbing the Soul-Eating Demon Spider's ring.

As she absorbed the ring, the scythe mark on her forehead lit up completely.

[Rakshasa God Test... Initiated!]

At the same time, a voice sounded in Du Qianjue's mind as well.

[Destruction's Second Test: Break through to Titled Douluo, Test complete, Reward: 10% Destruction Affinity!]

[Destruction's Third Test: Break through to Super Douluo, Test complete, Reward: 10% Destruction Affinity!]

[Destruction's Fourth Test: Break through to Limit Douluo!]
