Chapter 678: Peerless God General Ninth Trial: Slaughtering a God

Inside the Spirit Hall, Qian Renxue, who was sitting before the Angel God Statue, suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her entire being breaking free from the illusion.

"The Heart-Refining Trial, failed once again," Qian Renxue said, wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, unwilling to accept it.

Without the Sea God's interference, although her Ninth Trial had returned to normal, its difficulty had increased drastically: she had to kill Bibi Dong within the illusion.

The strength of this Bibi Dong was not a whit weaker than the real Bibi Dong, perhaps even stronger; it was a combination of a true Limit Douluo and a divine artifact, surpassing Qian Renxue by more than just a notch.

The most critical point was that Qian Renxue could never bring herself to be ruthless; no matter what, Bibi Dong was her biological mother, and she could not bring herself to kill her.

Yet this Heart-Refining Trial was such that the more she did not want to kill the opponent, the greater her inner knot, and the stronger the opponent's strength would become; only when Qian Renxue overcame her psychological barrier could she suppress the strength of the Bibi Dong in the illusion and then kill her.

Fortunately, this trial only had a time limit, not a limit on the number of attempts; as long as the one-year mark had not passed, it did not matter how many times she failed, and Qian Renxue still had a little time to adjust her mindset.

"Hehe, Qian Renxue, if you cannot bring yourself to kill her, why not let me do it instead..." Just at this moment, another soul deep within Qian Renxue's mind spoke.

Her hair and wings kept switching back and forth between white and gold, and black and gold, as if two souls were fighting for control of her body.

Seeing this scene, Qian Daoliu became extremely anxious; surely that dark personality wasn't coming out to cause trouble at this most critical moment?

But the next moment, he was stunned by what he saw before him: two completely opposing forces were actually gradually harmonizing within Qian Renxue.

"When light and darkness, the sacred and the evil—these completely opposing forces—harmonize perfectly, a new power is about to be born, and its name is... Chaos!" Qian Daoliu murmured.

Time flew by; nearly a year had passed since the end of the wedding, and now both Lv Lingqi and Qian Renxue were about to complete their most critical Ninth Trial.

As for Feihuang, his cultivation had also reached a bottleneck.

Although the Dunjia Heavenly Book and the Halberd had not yet fully become Super Artifacts, the eighteen Spirit Rings had already completely merged into his martial souls; now, these two martial souls were not a whit weaker than divine artifacts, lacking only the most critical step: to completely leave Feihuang's body, no longer needing to rely on his soul as a foundation.

However, having reached this step, the God Trial seemed to have judged it sufficient.

A kind, elderly voice rang out.

"Peerless God General Seventh Trial, Transforming Weapon into God, completed. Reward: 20% Peerless God General Affinity. Current: 99% (100%)."

"Peerless God General Eighth Trial, Unifying the Continent, completed. Reward: 20% Peerless God General Affinity. Current: 99% (120%)."

With both the seventh and eighth trials passed simultaneously, although the God General Affinity was fixed at 99%, Feihuang knew it was certainly far more than just that.

Just like Tang San in the original work, when the eighth trial was completed, the displayed affinity was also 99%, but the actual value was 115%.

This affinity was still very important; becoming a god with higher affinity meant a stronger compatibility with the God Position, and the strength after becoming a god would also be higher.

At this moment, the kind elderly voice announced the final trial.

"Peerless God General Ninth Trial, Slaughter God! Slash the god to prove the Dao, and achieve the name of the world's number one God General!"

"Hehe, slash the god to prove the Dao? I like this trial!" Feihuang stood up, walked out of the Eastern Palace, and looked up at the sky with a smile.

At this moment, blood-colored clouds gathered at the horizon, and the endless killing intent seemed as if it would bury the entire world.

A year had passed; he figured that Slaughter God was ready to make a move. Xue Ke walked to Feihuang's side with lotus steps, reached out to straighten his collar, and said with tears in her eyes, "Husband, be careful in all things. Ke'er is useless and cannot help you like Qian Renxue and Sister Lingqi, so I can only hope here that your martial luck is prosperous and you return victorious, not just for me, but also for..."

Xue Ke touched her belly, which was clearly a circle larger; she was already carrying Feihuang's flesh and blood.

"Don't say that, Ke'er. This year, if not for you helping me adjust my state of mind at every moment, my cultivation would not have been so smooth." Feihuang wrapped his arms around Xue Ke's slender waist and kissed her lips deeply, "Rest assured, Ke'er, I will be back soon!"

Having said that, Feihuang took flight and headed toward the wilderness in the distance.

The battlefield with a god could not be chosen within Gu Lei Imperial City, otherwise, it would cause devastation to all living things; when gods fight, mortals suffer.

The Slaughter God, who was rushing toward Gu Lei Imperial City, suddenly felt that Feihuang's aura had actually left the city. He was somewhat puzzled, but he did not care; in any case, his goal was just to kill Nan Feihuang, and it was the same wherever he killed him.

He immediately pursued Nan Feihuang.

In the wilderness about a thousand miles away from Gu Lei Imperial City, two rays of light, one black and one silver, finally collided head-on.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a huge roar, the entire world shook.

The peaks of four small mountains nearby were directly shattered by the shockwave.

The two figures were revealed, their iron fists colliding and still locked in a stalemate.

"Hehe, Lord Slaughter God, what is the meaning of this? You chase me down and immediately throw a punch; shouldn't you ask me whether I intend to follow the decree of the Life Goddess?" Feihuang said with a smile.

"Then will you follow the decree?" the Slaughter God asked coldly.

"Of course not. I will never abandon any friend who has sacrificed for me," Nan Feihuang said decisively. "Besides, even if I agreed, you would still try to kill me and then report to the Life Goddess that I defied the divine decree, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to answer to the Asura God, would you?"

"You are quite self-aware. That's right; having offended Lord Asura God, you will surely die today." The Slaughter God's iron fist exerted force suddenly.

But it could not shake Feihuang in the slightest; both forces simultaneously repelled the other, evenly matched.

Behind the Slaughter God, five rings of light flickered, and although Feihuang did not have a single Spirit Ring around him, the might he radiated was not a whit inferior to the Slaughter God.

"To think you can block my punch; you are clearly just a mere Limit Douluo. Even if it is the peak strength of humanity, logically, in front of a god, you should still be an ant." The Slaughter God was somewhat incredulous; although he had not used his full strength in this punch, it was not something a Limit Douluo should be able to withstand.

He did not know that this Limit Douluo, Feihuang, was completely different from a conventional limit. When he first entered the Title rank, his strength already surpassed that of a Limit Douluo, comparable to Bo Saixi borrowing the Sea God's power on the ocean.

After he himself advanced to Limit Douluo, his power increased more than tenfold, and his actual combat strength was more than ten times stronger.

And now, he had even transformed his martial souls into divine artifacts, his level had changed, and his strength had exploded another tenfold.

Now, if he wanted to kill Qian Daoliu or Bo Saixi, it would only take one or two moves, even if the battlefield were the Angel Temple or the Sea God Hall.
