After Yang Xiong took the Inner Core of the Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Serpent, seeing that the entire Hell Road seemed to be collapsing, he couldn't care less and sprinted forward quickly.
As he went further, the temperature got higher and higher, and he got closer and closer to the Blood River. It even emitted a red mist, and his whole body seemed to be stimulated. His mind seemed to be gradually losing control, and even visibility was greatly reduced.
After a full half hour, the Hell Road and the Blood River were almost level. The surrounding temperature had exceeded that of ordinary flames. If a normal Soul King were in this temperature, their body would probably be roasted.
Especially now that he was completely in the Red Mist, which seemed to contain a highly toxic substance that could affect one's mind, even far surpassing the Bewilderment power of Hu Liena's and her brother's Martial Soul fusion technique, Charm Demon.
At this moment, a white light had appeared ahead, like a traversing door. Yang Xiong knew that was the end of the Hell Road. As long as he crossed this white light, it meant he had completed the assessment and would also gain the Kiling God Domain.
However, at this moment, Yang Xiong felt his body was completely losing control. This was secondary; the main thing was that his Body Martial Soul seemed to be attracted by the Blood River, as if there was some connection between them.
With Yang Xiong's current Speed, reaching the light door before the Hell Road completely collapsed should not be a problem, even though the Hell Road behind him began to collapse with every step he took.
The light door was getting closer, gradually shrinking from hundreds of meters to tens of meters.
However, as Yang Xiong got closer to the light door, the entire Space began to shake more and more violently, and the speed of the Hell Road's collapse also increased, as if everything was related to the distance between Yang Xiong and the light door.
At this moment, a hint of hesitation appeared in Yang Xiong.
On this Hell Road, whether it was the red Poison mist or the monsters, they were all very great tests. Especially in the final section of the Hell Road, it felt as if one was in the Asura Blood Sea, seemingly on the verge of losing control at any moment.
The red mist rapidly surged into Yang Xiong's body, even rapidly surging into his head, as if his entire body was stimulated, and even his entire Martial Soul and soul were stimulated, as if he could get lost at any moment.
Just as the light door was only a few meters away from Yang Xiong, he stopped directly, ignoring the collapse of the Hell Road, and leaped directly into the Blood River.
This was Yang Xiong's choice at this moment, a choice he made on the spur of the moment, or perhaps after long deliberation before finally making up his mind, deciding to take a gamble in this final instant.
According to Yang Xiong's estimation, he had already undergone Ice Fire Body Tempering, especially after years of desperate body tempering and experiencing the influence of the Slaughter City and Hell Road's Killing Intent. He felt as if his body was about to break through its limits.
But no matter how much Yang Xiong cultivated or how much he studied the Killing Intent, his Martial Soul always seemed to have a barrier preventing it from breaking through.
This was the Gold level awakening of his Body Martial Soul that Yang Xiong had always pursued. According to the rules of the Body Martial Soul, it could only truly awaken in the face of life and death, and the test was the breakthrough of one's willpower.
Over the years, Yang Xiong had gone through many dangers. The most dangerous time was when he underwent Ice Fire Body Tempering. Only then did he truly have that feeling of disregarding everything.
At this moment, Yang Xiong looked at the Blood River. Was the Poison of this Blood River stronger than the Poison of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well? Was the temperature of this Blood River higher than the temperature of the Yang Spring in the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well?
One must know that the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was formed from the corpse of the Ice Fire Dragon King. The spring water could even kill 100,000-year-old Soul Beasts, and the Ice Fire Dragon King was a God King level existence during its lifetime.
As for his parents and loved ones, after his many arrangements, they would not be in danger in the short term. He had even prepared a way out for them.
At this moment, Yang Xiong only wanted to fight with all his might, to break through his limits, and to break through the constraints of his talent.
Yang Xiong was very clear that compared to both Tang San and Qian Renxue, he had a significant disadvantage.
Tang San possessed Twin Martial Souls and could quickly improve by adding Soul Rings to his Clear Sky Hammer after cultivating to the Titled Douluo level in the future.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, had unparalleled talent and the inheritance of the Angel God. She could use the God Test and the Inheritance Land of the Angel God to increase her cultivation Speed.
Although Yang Xiong believed his Combat Awareness was not inferior to these two, after reaching the Titled Douluo level, his cultivation Speed would definitely be slower than theirs. To make up for the gap, there was no other way than to fight desperately.
And as his Martial Soul was attracted by the Blood River, Yang Xiong vaguely felt that this Blood River was the key to his breakthrough and a rare opportunity in this world. It could even be said that there was no place in the world more suitable for body tempering than this Blood River.
After Yang Xiong leaped into the Blood River, the entire Hell Road seemed to instantly hit a bottleneck. The original collapse seemed to stop at this moment.
But this Blood River was even more terrifying than Yang Xiong had imagined. The moment he entered the Blood River, his entire body seemed to start melting.
Even though Yang Xiong summoned his Martial Soul and his entire body turned Silver, the skin all over his body melted at this instant. Endless Killing Intent instantly merged into Yang Xiong's mind and bone marrow, as if facing a peerless fierce beast.
His entire body instantly endured immense pain, and even the few soul bones on his body seemed to be melting, countless times more painful than when he underwent Ice Fire Body Tempering.
Even the silver giant in his mind was now enveloped by the blood sea, and his entire spiritual world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
Yang Xiong gritted his teeth, knowing that he couldn't give up easily at this time, otherwise he might truly die without a burial place, or even be turned into a pool of blood.
All the soul bones on his body were fully displayed, especially the 100,000 Year Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone on his right leg, as endless life force integrated into his entire body.
All the soul bones on his body seemed to have gained some kind of connection at this instant, with a faint tendency to merge.
Especially the Dark Tortoise Armor on his torso, which seemed to connect all the bones of his body and limbs, forming a huge tortoise shell.
In this extreme pain, Yang Xiong's eyes were incredibly resolute, even fierce.
Faintly, Yang Xiong seemed to see a huge blood-red figure, this figure was ten thousand zhang tall, like a giant supporting the sky, as if viewing life as ants, emitting a terrifying aura around him.
Yang Xiong even felt a hint of disdain on the blood-colored giant's lips. All of this was like truth and illusion, and finally, in this extreme pain, he gradually lost consciousness, relying only on his body to resist.
...
Under a certain waterfall in Fasinuo Province.
After a full year of arduous training, Tang San had become extremely proficient in using the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, even able to use the Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique in reverse. When he unleashed eighty-one strikes, the entire waterfall seemed to be split open, and the falling water droplets were actually unable to reach the ground.
After entering the Soul King realm, Tang San had improved in all aspects. At this moment, Tang San had already reached level fifty-four, and his body seemed to have reached the limit of an ordinary Soul King.
Tang Hao, who was beside him, also felt a little relieved looking at Tang San. This time, Tang San's training speed using the Clear Sky Hammer was even faster than when he trained with a wooden hammer. The Chaotic Cloak Hammer Technique had now reached mastery, and he could definitely reach the level he was at back then.
Tang San returned to the ground from the waterfall, his face extremely happy: "Father, I have finally completed your test again. What is the next test?"
A rare smile appeared on Tang Hao's face: "Little San, your training speed is even faster than I imagined. It seems you are very suitable for the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul."
"Over the years, I had you train under the waterfall to make you desperately train your body."
"Your master Yu Xiaogang and I have researched extensively, especially when I fought Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall back then, I actually wanted to test how she managed to cultivate Twin Martial Souls."
"After our analysis and confirmation, the foundation of Twin Martial Souls cultivation is likely to cultivate the body's strength to the extreme."
Tang San was a little confused: "Father, cultivating Twin Martial Souls shouldn't be that simple, right? Although Twin Martial Souls are relatively rare, three have appeared in the past hundred years, and there shouldn't be too few Twin Martial Souls in the history of Soul Masters. It's impossible for them not to have thought of this."
Tang Hao shook his head: "Little San, you are wrong about this. Soul Master cultivation has always been gradually explored. Whether it's Spirit Hall or the Upper Three Sects, their research on Soul Master cultivation far exceeds that of ordinary civilians and small sects, and even far exceeds the two great empires."
"In the past, it was rare for Soul Kings to appear during the Soul Master Competition in the history of Soul Masters, but in the last Soul Master Competition, Spirit Hall not only had them, but there were three of them, which shows that their research on Martial Soul cultivation has become even deeper."
"And you are only seventeen years old now, and your soul power has already reached level fifty-four, and it is even possible to reach the Soul Emperor realm within three years. This training speed can be said to be unprecedented, and it can even far exceed my record of breaking through to Titled Douluo."
Tang San was a little confused: "Father, what exactly is the change in this cultivation process? Could it be that a new meditation method has appeared now?"
Tang Hao said: "That's not the case. The cultivation methods in the Soul Master world haven't changed much over the years. What has truly changed is the cultivation method."
"In the past, Soul Master cultivation was mainly based on meditation, basically neglecting physical exercise, but in recent years, the Soul Master world has gradually begun to focus on exercising the body. Only a strong physique can meditate faster."
"So I estimate that Bibi Dong overcame the repulsive force of Twin Martial Souls through a strong physique. According to my estimation, Bibi Dong's physical exercise and refinement are absolutely outstanding, especially since she should also have a full set of high-year soul bones on her body."
"According to my estimation, Bibi Dong has at least three 100,000-year soul bones, and the other soul bones are at least over 50,000 years old. You should understand the role of soul bones. Even I find this soul bone configuration extremely terrifying."
Tang San couldn't help but swallow when he heard this. He currently only had a head soul bone and a Mantis Leg External Soul Bone. True top-tier 100,000-year soul bones were still too far away from him.
Tang Hao continued: "Normally, you should cultivate Blue Silver Grass through meditation, but in recent years, I have arranged for you to fully cultivate the Clear Sky Hammer and refine your physical quality, but your cultivation speed has not slowed down, but has become faster, which proves that my conjecture is completely correct."
"So, you cannot absorb soul bones casually from now on. In the future, you must absorb soul bones of at least 50,000 years, and preferably multiple 100,000-year soul bones. This should allow you to overcome the conflict of twin martial souls."
"If even this doesn't allow you to cultivate twin martial souls to mastery, then I don't know what else to do."
Tang San quickly said, "Thank you, Father. I will definitely work hard to train my body and absolutely overcome the conflict of twin martial souls. I will definitely reach the highest realm of a Soul Master."
A hint of relief finally appeared on Tang Hao's face. He had put in a tremendous amount of effort for Tang San over the past few years.
Tang San seemed to think of something and asked, "Father, my classmate Yang Xiong also trained his body desperately back then. Could it be that he also had research in this area?"
Tang Hao nodded. "The Yang Xiong you mentioned has a special martial soul and is extremely focused on body training and refinement. I think he must have also considered this, otherwise, with innate soul power at level six, it would be impossible for him to catch up to your cultivation speed."
Tang San was silent for a long time before speaking. "Father, how should I train next?"
Tang Hao instantly became serious upon hearing this. "Xiao San, your combat awareness and soul power cultivation are both excellent, but compared to true powerhouses, you still lack the most crucial point, which is the test of true life and death and blood."
Tang Hao suddenly emitted endless killing intent, his entire being like a massive blood-red figure. Tang San felt a chill run through his body, his soul power was completely suppressed, and even his soul trembled.
Only when Tang Hao withdrew his killing intent did Tang San gradually recover.
"Xiao San, next I will take you to a special place. There will be deadly danger there, but it can also give you a great boost. Only by truly going through trials can you become a powerhouse."
