The Asura God's Gaze! The Asura God Trial!

An icy, evil, deathly silence permeated the air, like the underworld. Blood red swallowed the entire Hell Slaughter Arena, and the smell of blood covered every corner.

Lin Xiao felt a sharp pain in his brain.

In a daze, he saw a blood-red bat pattern and should have fainted then and there.

But the Sky Dream Ice Silkworm Million Year Soul Bone in his mind emitted a cool aura, allowing Lin Xiao to barely stay conscious, and his Phoenix Bloodline stirred restlessly.

Lin Xiao silently recited the Heart Cleansing Mantra and finally managed to keep his mind from becoming muddled, fully regaining consciousness.

Suddenly...

Lin Xiao's gaze passed through the blood-red bat mark and looked up at the sky. A blood-red pupil seemed to slowly open, piercing through layers of space and landing on him.

An overwhelming, irresistible aura, extreme bloodiness and slaughter, and within the originally indifferent pupils, a hint of interest seemed to emerge.

Lin Xiao's heart suddenly leaped.

Blood red covered his vision, and his mind suddenly went blank, completely losing consciousness.

When he woke up again, Lin Xiao found himself on a circular platform, about five meters in diameter.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao's pupils contracted sharply, and his gaze fell on his left wrist. There was a blood-red greatsword pattern on it, carrying an endless aura of slaughter.

This is... the Asura Divine Sword?

"Holy shit!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but curse. This blood-red greatsword was not just extremely similar to the Asura Divine Sword held by the Slaughter King; it was exactly the same!

What did this mean?

Lin Xiao, who was used to marking others with the lotus flame imprint, felt complicated at this moment, with a sense of "the way of heaven is a good cycle, who can heaven spare?"

He had been marked by the Asura God?

Had Feng Yu been exposed too?

Just as his mind was in a panic, Feng Yu's voice sounded in his mind.

"Don't worry. Since I dared to let you enter Slaughter City voluntarily, I was certain the Asura God wouldn't discover me. Unless he personally descends and thoroughly inspects your body, he won't see any clues."

"If I'm not mistaken, this mark should be the inheritance mark of the Asura Divine Sword. Its purpose is probably to initiate a God Trial and symbolize your status as a candidate for Godhood."

Lin Xiao: "..."

His gaze was somewhat bewildered.

"Feng Yu, didn't you say that only by forging your own path can you break through limitations and reach the peak?"

"And if I inherit the Asura Godhood, how can I become the Phoenix God? Will this affect my future?"

Feng Yu's tone was relaxed.

"It's fine. After all, your performance in Slaughter City was a bit too outstanding, so attracting the Asura God's attention was inevitable. And you are not the only one inheriting the Asura Godhood."

"Most likely, you'll have to compete with someone. It depends on who completes the Asura God Trial first, you or Tang San, to inherit the Asura Godhood."

"As long as you don't ultimately inherit the Asura Godhood, the Asura God Trial won't affect you. You can even gain quite a few benefits for free."

Lin Xiao pondered slightly.

Participate in the Asura God Trial, receive the rewards after the trial, but ultimately refuse the Asura Godhood?

Lin Xiao had no psychological burden about this.

After all, he didn't ask for this God Trial, and there was no question of feeling reluctant to give it up.

Whether to become the Asura God King or an existence above the God King, he understood this clearly.

Didn't Tang San become a God ages ago, and in the end, he was still relying on the old foundation left by the Asura God? On the contrary, even his main Martial Soul almost became useless.

Lin Xiao's ambition was great, far from being satisfied with merely a God King's position. Moreover, how could he be willing to be below Feng Yu?

He wanted to ride on Feng Yu's head!

Thinking this, Lin Xiao injected his Spiritual Power into the Asura Divine Sword mark on his wrist, and blood-red characters appeared in the dead sea.

"Asura God Trial, First Trial!"

"Task: Pass the Hell Road!"

"Reward: All Soul Ring years increased by 20,000 years!"

Simple and direct.

Lin Xiao liked simple and direct things. He looked around and saw that the area around the circular platform was all a faint blood red, and there was only a narrow path less than half a foot wide in front of him, extending into the unknown Darkness.

This was the Hell Road.

In the original work, Tang San and Hu Liena spent a lot of effort on this narrow path, but Lin Xiao thought for 3 seconds.

He decisively released his Crimson Sky Flame Phoenix Wings.

Although Soul Skills couldn't be used, the most basic Fire of his Martial Soul could still be used. Blazing flames rose, illuminating the surrounding environment clearly.

Below was a gurgling Blood Pool, which had accumulated blood for who knows how many years, vaguely forming a small lake, and constantly bubbling.

There was a faint trace of Poison in the air.

Lin Xiao was immune to all poisons, so he simply flew forward. Suddenly, he encountered a swarm of thousands of blood-colored bats.

These blood-colored bats fed on human blood. The moment they sensed a living person, they surged like a tide, continuously swirling and surrounding Lin Xiao.

The blood-colored bats emitted sharp screeches, which carried a spiritual attack. However, Lin Xiao's spirit had been tempered countless times and wasn't significantly affected.

He frowned slightly. He really didn't want to be touched by these disgusting things. He lightly shouted:

"Phoenix Domain!"

Although the Slaughter City suppressed the use of soul skills, it didn't restrict the release of domains.

Lin Xiao's First Soul Skill was originally the Phoenix Feather Array, but during the Evil Fire Body Tempering process, it had evolved into the Phoenix Domain, already transcending the scope of ordinary soul skills.

Endless flames rose, instantly turning the tables. It was as if Lin Xiao was the true master of this space. Amidst countless screams, swarms of blood-colored bats plummeted, engulfed in the raging fire.

Some were burned to ashes before even hitting the ground.

Lin Xiao could have just sped away.

But after thinking about it, he remembered that among this group of blood-colored bats, there was a king, the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King.

Hu Liena would likely have trouble dealing with it. It would be better for him to clear it out for her, so he wouldn't lose the bet he had placed on her.

Spiritual Detection spread out.

He quickly found the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King hiding from the sea of fire. The remaining small blood-colored bats gathered on its back, forming an even larger entity.

"Phoenix Fire Three Profound Transformations!"

"Soul Power Armor!"

Crimson Phoenix armor enveloped Lin Xiao, making him look like a god of war. With the sound of Flame Burst tearing through the air, he shot towards the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King like a meteor.

At the same time, Phoenix Fire continuously condensed in his hand. A terrifying Four-Colored Fire Lotus spun rapidly in his palm, capable of putting on a spectacular fireworks show for this dark underground cave.

However, Lin Xiao suddenly dispersed the flames in his palm and muttered:

"Poisonous things can also be good medicine."

"I can't go on a long trip and not bring anything home. These blood-colored bats and the Dark Gold Three-Headed Bat King, poisonous creatures and strange insects have always been used in medicine, and these bats naturally can be too."

"It would be a shame to just burn them. If I take them back to Aunt Qingxian and Senior Dugu, they'll be happy, right?"

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up.

He wanted Aunt Qingxian's reward! And Senior Dugu's praise!
