Chapter 233: The Final Challenge—Judas Ring

Chapter 233: The Final Challenge—Judas Ring

Xiao Yu and the three women, Qian Renxue, Huo Wu, and Ye Lingling, had been cultivating in the Dolimen Ring for nearly a month.

During this time, Ye Lingling successfully broke through the bottleneck from level seventy-nine to eighty.

With Xiao Yu's help and various heavenly treasures improving her physical condition, she successfully refined a demonic beast's inner core comparable to a ten-thousand-year soul beast, becoming the first among the three women to possess a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Because Ye Lingling had already absorbed the eighth soul ring in advance, the Blue Silver Forest was spared from a disaster.

Initially, Xiao Yu's plan was to use the Blue Silver King as Ye Lingling's eighth soul ring.

Three years had passed, and although Tang San had the death aura Xiao Yu injected into him interfering, with his twin martial souls' talent and his understanding accumulated over two lifetimes, totaling more than forty years, he should have already reached the realm of a Soul King and awakened his Blue Silver Emperor martial soul in the Blue Silver Forest.

As a result, there was no need to go to the Blue Silver Forest anymore. It could be seen as the Blue Silver King's good fortune to be spared.

As for Tang San, the Blue Silver Emperor's life attribute was one of the top attributes in the soul master world. After awakening the Blue Silver Emperor martial soul, the influence of the death aura would be minimal.

Xiao Yu had to find a way to mess with the Tang God King again.

Regarding Ye Lingling, who had a ten-thousand-year eighth soul ring, Huo Wu and Qian Renxue had different attitudes. Huo Wu was envious and somewhat anxious.

As a battle soul master, her physical strength was better than that of the auxiliary soul master Ye Lingling. Even without Xiao Yu's help, she should be able to withstand the impact of the ten-thousand-year soul ring's energy.

Therefore, she was very eager to have a ten-thousand-year soul ring.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, didn't care much. With her physical condition, absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul ring for the eighth ring was easy.

However, the demonic beasts in the underworld comparable to ten-thousand-year soul beasts had attributes that conflicted with hers, such as darkness, death, and evil.

If Xiao Yu used his Hades power to remove these attributes, the inner core's energy would fall below ten thousand years. So she planned to wait until they left the underworld to find her eighth soul ring.

Xiao Yu fully supported this and kindly provided Qian Renxue with several suitable ten-thousand-year soul beasts with light attributes, including the Tongguang Arm Spirit Ape, the Glorious Unicorn, and the Morning Star Elk, all of which were remnants left after the love-struck silly rabbit sacrificed itself.

Additionally, Xiao Yu suggested to Qian Renxue, "Xue'er, do you remember the Sky Blue Bull Python that caused a beast tide in the Star Dou Forest and tried to kill us? That beast's cultivation has almost reached two hundred thousand years. Although it doesn't have the light, holy, or fire attributes of the Six-Winged Angel, its lightning attribute also belongs to the just forces and has strong restraint against extreme evil. If you can comprehend new attributes from it, it may not be a bad thing."

The Sky Blue Bull Python's good brother and the Goddess had already turned into soul rings and soul bones. Xiao Yu couldn't bear to see an old snake of tens of thousands of years lonely in the Star Dou Forest. Wouldn't it be better for the family to be together?

"After we get out of here, I'll go back to the Offering Hall and ask Grandpa. If he thinks it's feasible, we'll send the Sky Blue Bull Python to meet the gorilla and the little rabbit!"

Qian Renxue was also a vengeful person. The beast tide caused by the Sky Blue Bull Python almost took her life. If possible, she didn't plan to let it live peacefully until its limit.

After Ye Lingling broke through to level eighty, Xiao Yu continued his cultivation. According to his original plan, after absorbing a ten-thousand-year soul bone, breaking through level ninety should have been a matter of course.

However, after more than ten days, he still couldn't touch the barrier of level ninety.

Xiao Yu sighed and shook his head, saying, "It seems that breaking through the barrier of level ninety is not easy, even in the underworld!"

"For the strong, the best training ground should be the battlefield."

Qian Renxue's calm voice rang in Xiao Yu's ear, "You have become too attached to immersing yourself in the improvement of soul power."

"You are right!"

Her words woke him up. Xiao Yu immediately came to his senses and nodded, saying, "In that case, let's set off and comprehend the realm of the strong in battle."

The last level of the underworld, the Fourth Circle, also known as the Judas Ring, is named after Judas, the traitor who betrayed Jesus.

This place is the center of hell, where the most sinful souls in life—traitors and kin-slayers—are punished.

Entering here, one is met with a freezing wind that can freeze everything.

The air seems to be frozen by this cold wind, making it heavy and difficult to breathe.

A majestic ancient castle stands tall in the cold wind, like a sharp sword pointing to the sky.

The castle is more than a hundred meters long and wide, with a square main castle in the middle and six large conical towers on both sides.

The castle is supported by thick and luxurious columns.

Due to its age, these columns and the outer walls have countless cracks.

An ancient emblem is embedded on the castle's gate, symbolizing honor and majesty.

At its top stands a giant statue, three meters high, with a huge and sturdy body, wearing black armor, holding a spear, and having two ferocious dragon eyes on its helmet.

These eyes emit a chilling glow in the dark space.

In front of the castle is a long staircase, roughly estimated to have about a thousand steps, each step being the same height and emitting a faint glow, resonating with Xiao Yu's martial soul.

Xiao Yu involuntarily closed his eyes, feeling the energy contained within, becoming a vortex, and the elemental energy in the world quickly rushed toward his body.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Just then, a series of roars like a hundred beasts competing interrupted Xiao Yu's enlightenment.

Nearly ten powerful energy waves spread out from the door at the top of the steps, containing a murderous aura that made the temperature drop even further.

Xiao Yu, Qian Renxue, and Ye Lingling simultaneously activated their domains, overlaying the three domains and covering the four of them.

The powerful energy within the domains dissolved the external energy impact into nothingness.

Creak!!!

Seemingly sensing its attack being neutralized, the mysterious and majestic gate slowly opened.

Figures flew out from the door like meteors, and their large bodies didn't seem to affect their speed, landing on the long steps.
